Event Update For 2014-08-22

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.newsflare.com/video/21663/crime-accidents/drone-footage-of-barn-fire

Quote: "An investigation is under way into the cause of a massive barn blaze on Sheppey early today - the third in just weeks."

Note: They're 'investigating as arson' the other two fires. They haven't eliminated accidental causes, like hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rust or electrified copper, so they're not too terribly competent there. They'll probably be spending an increasing amount of their work hours chasing ghosts - nonexistent arsonists - until they get a clue. In the meantime, might as well watch the Isle of Sheppey go up in flames!

Quote: "The electrician had gone into the copper dam area located between the two hutches of the ship, but did not return. The captain went there to look for him and he too failed to return."

Note: Not the first time multiple people have been found mysteriously dead on boats or ships...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2732125/Schoolboy-16-dead-hours-collecting-GCSE-results-friends-spoke-pressure-felt-well.html

Note: They imply that he might have killed himself because his grades sucked. Who knows, could be. But before I'd even THINK about jumping to that conclusion, what were his grades? They seem to have omitted that part of the story. Otherwise, just looks like another person dropping dead outdoors near a coast...

http://milwaukee.gotnewswire.com/news/county-bus-driver-dies-after-crash-passengers-are-ok

Quote: "It's unclear what happened to the bus driver except that he had a medical emergency."

Note: Probably got poisoned while running his route, then hydrogen sulfide's delayed-reaction killing capability took him out while he was behind the wheel. Ya just can't count on not getting poisoned and dying while driving - or not driving - these days...

2014-08-22 - 'Coywolves' spreading in the northern United States:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/humans-created-top-predator-taken-212420235.html

Quote: "The wolf genes allow the coyote to take down bigger prey, while the coyote genes let them adapt to cityscapes and other metropolitan areas."

Note: One-fourth wolf, two-thirds coyote, and the rest of their genetic makeup is domestic dog. Very adaptable and probably better suited to the changing conditions on the planet than any of the parent species. They look beautiful but I wouldn't want to meet a hungry pack...
