Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2014-06-27

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.

http://www.wkyt.com/wymt/home/headlines/Methane-buildup-causes-small-explosion-inside-State-Highway-Garage-in-Pikeville--264969741.html

Quote: "Mary Westfall-Holbrook says, 'This is our main equipment building....where we work on snow plows, dump trucks....just all of our equipment in District 12.'"

Quote: "Investigators have not determined what caused the methane buildup to ignite."

Note: That's where hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with electrified copper or rusty iron/steel can come into play. A little dash of hydrogen sulfide and some methane, near some electrified copper or rusty iron/steel, and the hydrogen sulfide can serve as the igniter while the methane (or natural gas, or butane, or any flammable vapor) serves as the primary 'fuel load' for the fire and/or explosion. They had some trucks in there, which means there was both rust AND electrified copper present...

2014-06-27 - Mutant 'super rats' making serious strides in spreading throughout Britain:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20140627-44299-GBR

Quote: "Mutant 'super rats' that have become immune to common poisons are spreading across Britain, scientists have warned. Researchers from the University of Huddersfield tested rats in 17 counties and found rodents resistant to over-the-counter poisons such as Bromadiolone and Difenacoum in every single one. In more than 50 towns across the UK - from Reading to Sheffield to Dumfries and Galloway - they found rats who were 100% resistant to common poisons."

Note: I mentioned these rats in the 2012-11-19 update but they hadn't spread nearly as far at that time. Now, less than two years later, it appears that they're virtually everywhere...

Good grief. Things are getting worse and worse every day. There's no let-up, no respite, and both the severity and the area of these incidents is expanding.

The way it's looking, soon there will be no fish - they can't live in the toxic, polluted, overheated and over acidified ocean we've produced. We're on the list to go extinct too and we'll see and chronicle our demise even though no one will be around to "learn from" our mistakes.

Thanks for another great update Jonny.
