The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.
A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

2013-07-16 - Explosion and fire hit landfill in Johnston (Rhode Island), 2 miles from the coast:

2013-07-16 - Recycling facility erupts in flame in St Paul’s Cray (Britain):
http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/10552633.Thick_smoke_in_St_Paul_s_Cray_as_Waste4Fuel_catches_fire_again/http://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/news/10552633.Pictures_and_poll__Seventh_fire_at_St_Paul_s_Cray_Waste4Fuel_recycling_plant/
Note: This same recycling facility just burned in June too, as mentioned in the 2013-06-27 update. From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

2013-07-16 - Car bursts into flame in St. Paul (Minnesota), many other fires mentioned:
http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_23670019/south-st-paul-arson-fires-investigated
Note: A boat, some garbage cans, and some garages also burned, in the wee hours. Apparently this has been happening sporadically since late 2011. They're calling these fires arsons, yet not once has anyone seen a person, and there is zero evidence of a person being involved in any of these fires. Perhaps the reason no one has seen anyone and there is no evidence of people being involved is for the simplest reason: people AREN'T involved, and these fires are happening spontaneously, as the atmosphere is increasingly contaminated by highly flammable hydrogen sulfide and methane...

http://www.cantonrep.com/newsnow/x997482129/Firefighters-battle-vacant-house-fire-in-northeast-Canton
Note: It was vacant and boarded up after a previous fire. This is happening with regularity: buildings burning multiple times. The reason for that is simple: the house was vulnerable to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem at the time of the first fire, and putting out that fire doesn't do a thing to address any vulnerabilities, and probably makes the building MORE vulnerable, so it burns again, until eventually there is nothing left that CAN burn...

http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Cambridge/Two-bodies-found-next-to-Cambridge-river-man-and-woman-pronounced-dead-at-the-scene-20130716142622.htm
Note: They're trying to blame these deaths on drugs, though to be fair, they also say the deaths are unexplained. If they hadn't dropped dead right next to a low-lying area like a river bank, maybe I wouldn't be so suspicious. But I did say that one of the only options the authorities will have available to explain multiple people dropping dead like this would be, 'It must be drugs!' In India they do it a little different. There they usually say, 'They must've eaten some poison!' They're actually pretty predictable. Also, drugs and poisoning by hydrogen sulfide are not mutually exclusive things. Both can affect a person simultaneously, and that's more likely to happen in a low-lying area like where these two people dropped dead...

2013-07-16 - Cruise ship worker, 27, found dead in her cabin on the cruise ship MSC Preziosa:
http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=5434
Quote: "...the ship's doctor believe the suspected cause of death to be a cerebral aneurysm."
Note: This is one of the delayed-reaction ways hydrogen sulfide poisoning can kill you. You get a whiff, maybe have a bad headache, and inside your skull, some of your blood vessels are rupturing. Eventually some clotting occurs and then a clot breaks free and you die of a brain aneurysm. This same problem can also cause 'stroke-like' symptoms, like some of the people being medevac'd off ships lately. In fact, there's one of those listed for this day in the 'Other Stories' section. The brain damage can also make you insane too...

Note: Maybe they weren't such separate incidents. Same area, same timeframe, same atmosphere. Kinda like the outdoor version of the two men, both 52, found dead in adjacent homes on the same day in Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), as mentioned in the 2013-03-15 update. Another incident, more similar to these two lake deaths, was when two men, 44 and 41, were found dead on separate boats in harbors near Kodiak (Alaska), as mentioned in the 2013-04-22 update. There have been other similar events too, just pointing out a couple that come to mind...

Note: It may have been rabid, but not necessarily. Two lions sickened and foamed at the mouth at a zoo in Berlin, as mentioned in the 2012-08-06 update. Three high school students dropped to the ground with seizures and foaming at the mouth in El Paso Texas, as mentioned in the 2013-06-04 update. Breathing hydrogen sulfide can cause foaming at the mouth due to chemical damage to lungs. It can also cause brain damage resulting in seizures or aberrant and violent behavior, like the man who in a span of 30 minutes transformed from normal church-going guy to ravening face-eating cannibal after walking across a causeway over the ocean in Florida...

Seven fires there in four months! They might as well cut out the recycling bit and just torch it as it comes in!
Here's a few recent-ish items of interest.

Another body on the beach.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-23274552
Another "unexplained death"
There's also a lot of wildfires happening around the UK at the moment, if I get a bit more time soon I'll try to keep track.
Also an interesting article I just caught:
https://robertscribbler.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/the-arctic-methane-monster-stirs-nasas-carve-finds-plumes-as-large-as-150-kilometers-across-amidst-year-of-troubling-spikes/
Good stuff, thanks! And by 'good' I mean 'bad'. Heh, you know what I mean. So 90-mile-wide methane clouds erupting in the Arctic now? Yikes. I was sure that stuff like that was coming, but still, to see it happening...very disturbing! Mars and the Moon are looking better and better if you're one of those wanna-keep-living people.
Deletewhen reading about the strange train wreck..the main train LEFT THE MAIN LINE AND ENTERED A TURN OFF WHERE A STANDING TRAIN WAS....they don't know WHY the thru train diverted...the end of the article has this "Sunday's drowning comes just a week after the sheriff's office and other emergency departments pulled the body of a 38-year-old Hoisington man from Wilson Lake.
ReplyDeleteIdentified as George Willenberg, he apparently drowned while trying to swim across a cove in the Rock Town area after the boat he was on had mechanical problems.anonManila
The sheriff's office said alcohol hMight have been a contributing factor in that drowning.
There's been a string of drownings in the state this year, including at least six so far this month.
The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism last week reported at least 12 drownings across Kansas." http://hdnews.net/news/drowning071513
Yes, the rising numbers of 'drownings' was one of the things that first alerted me to the fact that something unusual was happening. In 2010, in my area, I started seeing the numbers of drownings seeming out of whack. In 2011 they were worse. Last year, worse yet. This year, worse again.
DeleteAs a last ditch effort to avoid thinking about the hydrogen sulfide and methane problem, I tried to make a case that what was happening was a global attack on our infrastructure and people by aliens. I know, you'll laugh, but I really didn't want it to be the hydrogen sulfide and methane problem, and the only thing I could think of as an alternative theory was aliens. The problem with that was, they'd have to be insanely superior to us technologically (not far-fetched there), but at the same time they'd have to be insanely PETTY, to just use their power to chip away at us by toppling fuel tanker trucks and starting fires and drowning individuals. Ultimately, that just didn't make any sense, so I cast that theory aside, and accepted that the hydrogen sulfide and methane problem was the root cause of our woes. Too bad too. You could theoretically bargain with aliens. Ancient bacteria in the ground and the waters? No talking to them.
