Event Update For 2014-05-20

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

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.

2014-05-20 - Mysterious kidney affliction hits sugarcane workers in Nicaragua:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20140520-43811-NIC

Quote: "The painful disease that affects the kidneys has killed at least 20,000 people over the past decade throughout Central America."

Quote: "Second, Brooks pointed out that CDK is a global health issue. There are at least two other areas that have been identified with epidemics that appear very similar: Sri Lanka and the northeastern coast of India."

Note: This is very likely caused by chronic low-level exposure to hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the oceans. Notice where all the people are sickening: along the coasts in Central America, on the island of Sri Lanka, and on the coast in India. I mentioned the mysterious kidney problems in Sri Lanka in the 2014-03-05 update. Eventually we may all end up coughing up blood and dying from renal failure, unless we drop dead or burn to death or whatever first. From the full hypothesis: "Renal problems - e.g. problems with kidneys - will escalate, as is already happening with crop workers on the western coast of Central America."

Quote: "Heavy smoke can be seen from miles away. Region 8 News was told that Best Pallet caught fire, but it's not known how the fire started. The fire is still burning hours later. According to a fire dispatcher, the building was full of wooden pallets."

Note: Eighty thousand pallets just went up in flames at a pallet business in Haughton (Louisiana), mentioned in the 2014-05-18 update. From the full hypothesis: "Wood-related fires will escalate, including fires at pallet companies, wood-carving businesses, furniture businesses, door companies, cabinet companies, etc."

http://www.abc3340.com/story/25560345/two-car-fire-at-national-tire-and-battery

Quote: "Investigators says the cause of the fires appears to be arson. They say both cars had to be set on fire separately."

Note: A cloud of hydrogen sulfide, possibly mixed with methane, blowing by and hitting both vehicles might ignite them both separately. Sounds like the only 'evidence' of arson is simply that one car didn't ignite the other, which isn't evidence of arson at all, not these days. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and people and animals sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

2014-05-20 - Wildfire erupts, grows to 350 acres, near coastal Tyonek (Alaska), near the Chuitna River:
http://www.ktva.com/10-acre-fire-burns-near-tyonek-442/

Quote: "According to the state Division of Forestry, the 10-acre fire reported near Tyonek Monday afternoon now covers more than 350 acres and continues to burn. Fire officials said crews have made good progress building a fire line between the blaze and the Cook Inlet community. The majority of Tyonek’s roughly 150 residents evacuated Monday."

Quote: "The Chuitna River separates the fire from the village, but some areas are now burning on the village side."

Quote: "Despite their efforts, though, forestry officials said the fire burned nearly seven miles long and about a mile wide Monday evening. At that time, fire crews estimated the blaze was three miles from Tustemena Lake."

Note: Gettin' pretty obvious here. Look at the above five fires: on an island, on the coast, in a canyon with a creek, near a river on the coast, and near a lake, all places where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will tend to accumulate, absorbing into absorbent materials until fire erupts. Hard to blame all these right-by-water fires on drought...

I've been warning about the gear collapse problem for a loooong time now, so yeah, they better train for it happening, because it has been happening and it will continue to happen as long as planes use rubber wheels and friction-based braking...
