- The whole point is that a lot of environmental extremists went to great
- lengths to exonerate communist states in the use of yellow rain, by coming
- up with the bee shit theory. However, the theory was shot down in flames
- when the former soviet union released files that showed that they did,
- in fact, use yellow rain in the very circumstances attributed to bee shit.
- Few serious scientists ever completely accepted the bee shit argument
- due to the huge volumes of bee shit required in very short amounts of time.
- It really would have required a new kind of bee that was a virtual shit
- factory during very brief periods of time, but completely corked up
- for most of the lifespan.
-
- So the bee shit theory is the atrocity cover story generated by the dark
- side of the cold war. It turns out that now that the cold war has been
- won, files have been released by the former soviet union that support
- virtually every official accusation of atrocity by the US and agree in
- incredible detail.
-
- BTW - This is way off the subject of energy.
