Event Update For 2014-08-01

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.

2014-08-01 - Nauseating stench blows through Oxford (Britain), near the River Thames:
http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/yourtown/oxford/11371927.11am_update__Thames_Water_says_bad_smell_across_Oxford_is_not_from_sewage/
http://www.sott.net/article/282974-Yet-another-case-of-possible-outgassing-Mystery-of-the-bad-smell-floating-around-Oxford

Note: If it's not from sewage then this is very likely due to clouds of low-concentration hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean or off the River Thames or coming from the ground. Numerous cities have been hit with a similar stench in recent times. Hydrogen sulfide smells like 'rotten eggs' at low concentrations. At medium concentrations it may smell flowery or sickly sweet or licoricey, but your olfactory sense will get 'fatigued' and you'll quickly lose the ability to smell it at all, so you can't safely count on a lack of odor as being a sure sign that there's also a lack of hydrogen sulfide in the air.

Because it is a heavier-than-air gas, even low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide blowing through can be a serious problem, because it will settle into low-lying areas (bodies of water, basements, underground tunnels, sewers, etc) and then it will concentrate. Then when the wind picks up, a smaller but more concentrated cloud may blow onward and if it's 1:1000 concentration it can kill you with one breath. It's as if little ditches and depressions of all kinds are becoming guns of a sort that reload when the wind dies down and fire their accumulated load when the wind picks up. Along the way, wherever it lands, it may adsorb onto materials - cling to the surfaces of matter - and that residual hydrogen sulfide can poison you by touch, and you won't see it either way. You may not smell it at all when it is adsorbed onto materials either, nor will you smell it if it dissolves into water, and it IS water-soluble AND it tends to end up in all the same places that water does because it's a heavier-than-air gas.

Eventually hydrogen sulfide will contaminate the entire environment and lifespans for just about everything will plummet. Once average lifespan drops below 20-ish years for human beings then the human race will be essentially extinct even if a few survivors live on for a bit longer. All other species that use oxygen, and that includes plants, will suffer along with us - but some species can reproduce fast enough to compensate for the accelerated dying. Slow-reproducing life won't really have a chance, including all primates, elephants, whales, dolphins, tigers, rhinos, etc. Because the primary sources of the hydrogen sulfide are the oceans, seas and lakes, the life in them will die off the hardest, exactly as has happened in previous extinction events. It's already that way, with all the dying fish, starfish, whales, oysters and so on all around the planet. Birds are also highly vulnerable to gases because of their light weight and rapid respiration, which is why canaries were used in coal mines as an alert system for dangerous gases in the air.

Global warming, however real, is a mere distraction from this problem. It doesn't matter what the temperatures are or how they got there to people who've been poisoned or incinerated by methane and hydrogen sulfide. Likewise, all these conflicts around the world are simply insane. Israel and Palestine are fighting over land that will probably not be inhabitable by ANYBODY. Ukraine and Russia, North and South Korea, China and Japan, same thing. This extinction event will kill most or all of us all by itself - we don't really HAVE to help it along by killing ourselves too.

A world without truth becomes a world without reason.

Note: They suspect arson because 1) these were all parked vehicles; and 2) they don't have a clue about what's happening. Wee hours, on the coast, no actual evidence of arson...probably not arson, just multiple parked vehicles going up in flames. This is becoming more common as the atmospheric contamination proceeds...

http://www.myfoxny.com/story/26170612/drill-in-new-york-city

Quote: "The New York City Department of Health conducted a massive emergency preparedness drill at 30 facilities across the city on Friday. They tested the delivery of emergency medications in the event of a biological attack, such as anthrax, or other large-scale public health emergency in the city. The majority of the deliveries will take place to public school buildings. It's the largest surprise drill in the city's history."

Note: Coming on the heels of the gigantic explosions that devastated the city of Kaohsiung (Taiwan) and concurrent with the spread of Ebola, this is somewhat ominous, although I'm not knocking any kind of drilling or training in preparation for possible catastrophe(s)...

Quote: "A lake that mysteriously appeared in a drought-stricken region of Tunisia last month is being hailed as a miracle by locals but may in fact be radioactive. Local shepherds discovered the large body of water along the Om Larayes Rd, about 25km from the southern Tunisian city of Gafsa, about three weeks ago, FRANCE24 reports. Since then, hundreds of people have flocked to the oasis-like formation dubbed 'Lac de Gafsa' or Gafsa Beach."

Quote: "Upon reviewing the original footage from the camera system and measuring the unidentified creature against objects pictured in the footage, the animal was not believed to be more than two feet tall."

Note: Two feet tall is not tiny! Not a mountain lion, too small, but it's way bigger than a cat. This could be a genetic chimera, and if so, it's obviously mostly feline...
