Wingnut Says Gays In Military Caused Mass Bird Deaths

That’s right, this lady really thinks that birds are falling out of the sky because “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed.

Grist helpfully identifies this animal-death expert as Cindy Jacobs, a “respected prophet” with an organization called Generals International. She’s also the author of several books, including Deliver Us From Evil, which her website describes thus:

This book explores how Occult influences march freely across the American landscape today. From Pokemon cards and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, to Marilyn Manson and psychic hotlines, this nation is under siege. Cindy Jacobs reveals the deadly impact of Satan’s dominion over the media and the resulting rise in violence and immorality that plague our society. She then shows how through prayer, spiritual warfare and activism we can halt the destructive advance of the devil’s kingdom in the land.

Which raises the question: can we really be sure the recent birdpocalypse wasn’t caused by Pokemon?
