Event Update For 2014-06-18

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.

2014-06-18 - Naked man, 47, runs around, shouts, attacks cop, in Cambridge (Canada), man with hatchet mentioned too:
http://www.thespec.com/news-story/4585424-stun-gun-needed-to-subdue-naked-man-with-lighter-fluid/
http://www.bramptonguardian.com/news-story/4587012-stun-gun-used-during-arrest-of-naked-man/

Quote: "In a separate incident, police in Kitchener arrested a man walking around a neighbourhood with a hatchet."

Note: A guy swinging an axe set a vehicle on fire on Highway 16 in New Hazelton (Canada) recently too, mentioned in the 2014-05-11 update. I think we need a new term for the crazy axe- and hatchet-wielding people - Lizzie Borden Syndrome! I guess I'd put meat cleavers in the Lizzie Borden Syndrome category too, since they're a hacking type instrument more like a little axe than a knife. The last meat cleaver incident was when a naked man, 71, armed with a meat cleaver threatened a driver in Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), mentioned in the 2014-05-06 update. The scariest meat cleaver incident so far was when a man dragged his wife down Canal Street while hacking at her with a meat cleaver, in coastal Manhattan (New York), mentioned in the 2013-02-24 update...

Quote: "Officers ordered him to place his hands behind his back, but he refused. Dyachkin then grabbed his penis and began to masturbate in front of several residents in the area, the report said. Officers were forced to use a taser in order to subdue Dyachkin."

Note: I'm shocked! Wait, no, HE was shocked...

http://capecod.wickedlocal.com/article/20140619/NEWS/140615418/12423/NEWS

Quote: "The fire broke out at 9:25 a.m. when a 30-foot cypress [tree] erupted into flames before the flames spread to two homes, one on each side of the tree."

Note: Uh oh, sounds like a tree spontaneously combusted. Wouldn't be the first time. Actually, I just did a count, and this is the seventh time that one or more trees have spontaneously ignited, that I know of, and I'm quite sure there have been many others. Lots of homes and other buildings are near trees. It's not wise at this point to have any DEAD trees near your home, for sure. Living trees should be safer, but who knows how long they'll stay that way...

2014-06-18 - Four separate fires erupt in the wee hours in Indianapolis (Indiana):
http://fox59.com/2014/06/18/torched-impd-cruiser-among-string-of-wednesday-morning-fires/

Note: First fire was a deck that burst into flame at 5:37 AM at a home. Second fire was a storage shed that burst into flame at 5:47 AM. Third fire was an 'arson' that burned a house or something but didn't do much damage. Fourth fire was a police squad car that burst into flame at 6:30 AM while parked in the driveway of the officer's home, and they're calling that arson too. Just because they call things arson doesn't mean it is so. They're operating with an incomplete deck knowledge-wise so you can't really expect them to be too competent about their doing their job anymore...

2014-06-18 - Feral cats mysteriously dying off in neighborhood in Posey County (Indiana):
http://www.14news.com/story/25813737/feral-cats-found-dead-in-posey-county

Quote: "Bland says she has been searching the neighborhood to try to find an answer. 'I even walked the woods behind my home to see if it was possible that somebody set something out to kill the wildlife and maybe the cats were getting in it,' Bland says. 'There is nothing and there is no trace of anything anywhere.'"

Note: All the cats are dead in my neighborhood too, and in a different neighborhood near me but closer to the Mississippi River cats were being found dead too. They're probably dying all around now, but mostly unseen, in their nests, then they start rotting and people find them, but that's not likely to come up in day-to-day conversation, so one person who finds some dead cats may not have any idea that the neighbors all around have been finding them too. And not many people would really notice a lack of feral cats. I mainly noticed it because of the explosion in rabbits and squirrels, then I went looking for cats and couldn't spot any at all, at any time, day or night - all gone. Poof. They don't just 'move on' either, because cats are highly territorial, soooo...they're dead.
