The repeal of “Don't Ask, Don't Tell”
is possibly responsible for the deaths of thousands of blackbirds and
fish in Arkansas, RightWingWatch.org
first reported.
President Barack Obama recently signed
into law a bill that begins the process of ending the military's ban
on gay and bisexual troops serving openly.
On New Year's Eve, about 5,000
red-winged blackbirds fell dead in Arkansas and hundreds more in
Louisiana. A few days earlier, roughly 85,000 fish near Ozark
mysteriously died. Investigators believe the fish died of disease,
but the demise of the birds remains a puzzle.
Jacobs, who preaches at the Red Oak,
Texas-based Generals International ministry, connected the deaths to
“Don't Ask, Don't Tell” through former President Bill Clinton,
who once served as governor of Arkansas and also proposed the
compromise allowing gay troops to serve so long as they remained
closeted and celibate.
“Well, there's something interesting
we have been watching – let's talk about this Arkansas pattern and
say, could it be a pattern? We're going to watch and see. But the
blackbirds fell to the ground in Beebe, Arkansas. Well the governor
of Arkansas' name is Beebe. And also, there was something put out of
Arkansas called 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' by a former governor, this
was proposed [by] Bill Clinton. As so, could there be a connection
between this passage and now that we've had the repeal of the 'Don't
Ask, Don't Tell,' where people now legally in the United States have
broken restrains with the Scripture because the Scripture says in
Romans 1 that homosexuality is not allowed,” she told her ministry,
referring to Hosea 4.
“It could be because we have said
it's okay for people who commit these kinds of acts to be recognized
in our military for the first time in our history, there is a
potential that there is something that actually happened in the land
where a hundred thousand drum fish died and also where these birds
just fell out of the air.” (The video is embedded in the right
