THE WHALE IN THE HOUSE

I’VE noticed recently a sudden plethora of reports in the news about beaching whales. Okay, so it may just be a noticeable but generally ignored normal occurrence. It could also be climate change, ocean pollution (including noise pollution civil or military) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetacea.... Or, stay with me here, could it be collective increasing anxiety amongst some of the most intelligent creatures on the planet? I don’t know what the whales are thinking, but humanity seems hell-bent on destroying itself and all the world’s living things, land or ocean-based, as well as the “living” planet, Gaia, itself. And don’t tell me the cetaceans don’t know anything about war or “the evil that lurks in the hearts of men.” In the past, porpoises and dolphins have been conscripted into the armed forces, and trained by various militaries to participate actively in human wars. Forget about the famous marines of the seas, the Seals; the “Naval Dolphins” have been there and followed orders with distinction time and again. Maybe with all the sonic chattering going on in the oceans, what we’re seeing is their collective anti-war appeals, or if unheeded, the start of the War of the Whale. Someone has to take a stand against war, even if only the cetaceans have the intelligence, gumption and resolve to stop us from obliterating ourselves and all other lifeforms.

The whole scenario rather reminds me of the fourth book of the six Douglas Adams’ “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” series, SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0345391837. Maybe the cetaceans are simply tired of waiting for us to figure out how to communicate, and have decided to take matters into their own…well…fins. Nuclear devastation certainly doesn’t exclude the oceans. In fact, given all the digital and electronic devices that seem to be suddenly failing all about me, I’m wondering if the cetaceans might not be in league with AIs. Or vice versa. Who knows. It’s a better conspiracy theory than most.

Remind you of a prophetic Savant book by Don “Four Arrows” Jacobs, LAST SONG OF THE WHALES — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0984555250? It should! Or my own children’s book A WHALE’S TALE — https://www.amazon.com/dp/1442105062 (available with audio CD read by Lynn Whitener to listen to before bed, and plush baby humpback whale toy to read to at https://savant-bookstore-honolulu.squ...). And don’t try to tell me “the whales did it.” At least, they don’t seem to have given up on humans entirely yet.
