Note: Well, if that isn't ominous then I don't know what is. I'm not arguing that it's a bad idea; being prepared is good. But...it IS ominous!

2014-09-30 - 35,000 walruses amass on coast near Point Lay (Alaska), not enough sea ice for them to live normally now:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/35-000-walruses-crowded-together-151404142.html
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/35-000-walruses-flock-alaskan-shore-shortage-ice-article-1.1959389

Quote: "Thousands of walruses are gathered together on one of the last places they have to rest in Alaska — the shore. As the ice they typically rely on for respite between hunts has all but disappeared, the giant animals are clambering to the coast in record numbers."

Note: I mentioned the benefit of the disintegrating Arctic ice previously: shippers are now able to use the Northwest Passage for shipping, which is a first in human history, thanks to the lack of thick sea ice. The downside is that all of the living things that NEED that sea ice for their survival, like these walruses, are suffering...

2014-09-29 - Jellyfish populations rising at an alarming rate in the Mediterranean Sea:

2014-09-29 - Hydrogen sulfide gas drives rescuers back at Mount Ontake (Japan):
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/japans-mount-ontake-volcano-rescue-efforts-delayed-hydrogen-sulfide-gas-levels-hazardous/

Quote: "Rising levels of hazardous hydrogen sulfide gas made it too dangerous to continue rescue efforts on Monday, reports CBS News correspondent Seth Doane. They hope to resume work Tuesday wearing gas masks."

2014-09-28 - Some 'dead' people 'coming back to life' in Liberia, people freaking out:
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/567752/20140926/nimba-county-ebola-virus-walking-dead-outbreak.htm
http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2014/09/27/walking-dead-mass-panic-in-nimba-county-as-dead-ebola-patients-come-back-to-life/
http://www.thenewdawnliberia.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12763:dead-ebola-patients-resurrect&catid=3:general&Itemid=68

Note: Scientists discovered a while back that hydrogen sulfide can put rodents into a state of 'suspended animation', where their body temp drops to almost room temp and their vitals slow so much that it's almost undetectable that they're still alive. They tried this on pigs but it didn't work. My working theory is that it's not so much the species that matters but the SIZE of the mammal. Rodents are small, pigs are large. Over the last few years there have been a number of incidents where people - often children - have been pronounced dead only to 'come back to life', sometimes at their own funerals. Children are also small. So it's possible that these people in Liberia got hit by hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean and went into 'suspended animation' too, like the children. Liberia is very poor so the people are skinny and underfed, meaning they too will tend to be on the small side. Some of the symptoms of hydrogen sulfide poisoning are the same as Ebola symptoms, especially in cases of acute poisoning, and it appears that no matter WHAT you die of in Liberia these days, everyone just ASSUMES it's from Ebola, as if that's the only thing that can affect people in Liberia now, which is obviously not the case...

Quote: "A seven-year-old girl has been killed in the sudden eruption of a mud geyser at a nature reserve in southern Sicily, Italian media reports say, and her nine-year-old brother who was celebrating his birthday remains missing. The two children were walking with their father in the Maccalube nature reserve north of Agrigento when a geyser spewed mud over them on Saturday."

Quote: "Police said the girl, her brother and father were buried in mud and sediment when one of the craters exploded in western Sicily on Saturday. The 9-year-old boy was missing while the father was being treated at a hospital. The unique phenomenon is the result of methane gas mixing with salt water and clay."

Note: Sounds like a smaller version of the recent giant Siberian methane-explosion craters...

2014-09-27 - More than 600 earthquakes rattle the area around Mammoth Lakes (California):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=EQ-20140927-45428-USA

Quote: "The swarm of quakes - ranging from magnitude 1.0 to 3.8 - began just before 5 a.m. Thursday, according to the USGS. 'This is one of the largest earthquake swarms we've seen in the past decade or so,' said David Shelly, a USGS research seismologist who has been studying the volcanic system near Mammoth Lakes."

Note: This area is where the Long Valley supervolcano is located. Things that make you go 'Hmmm.'

2014-09-27 - Stench hits area along Highway 165 between Millville and Providence (Utah), blamed on manure, but nobody knows:

Quote: "There is a strange smell on Highway 165 between Millville and Providence. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this? And where is it coming from? Is someone dumping dead animals in the bodies of water nearby? It is bad on a warm day. It does not smell like manure; it smells like something died."

2014-09-26 - Seventeen soldiers sicken during field training exercise near Fairbanks (Alaska), blamed on carbon monoxide:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20140926-45422-USA
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/17-soldiers-return-to-duty-after-co-exposure/2014/09/26/235da7b6-45be-11e4-8042-aaff1640082e_story.html

Note: The symptoms are all possible symptoms of hydrogen sulfide exposure too. Carbon monoxide doesn't make sense. It was a field training exercise, so they were outdoors. Carbon monoxide is a lighter-than-air gas, which is why detectors go on ceilings. Outdoors the ceiling is the sky - carbon monoxide doesn't accumulate at ground level. If it did, everyone in every major city where people drive cars would already be dead from all the cars spewing carbon monoxide. So a large-scale carbon monoxide incident outdoors doesn't seem plausible, but I guess they have to tell the people something other than the truth, and at least the symptoms match, so people, being generally clueless, will probably buy this story...

2014-09-25 - Denver company helps build fire-resistant homes:
http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/2014/09/25/denver-fire-resistant-houses/16198897/

Quote: "Denver-based Prescient uses a patented steel-structure system in new builds of multi-family housing, assisted-living communities and hotels. The technology is also being utilized in college- and military-dormitory housing. The steel frames are non-combustible and fire resistant, while traditional wood frames are often the first material that's ignited in-home fires. Wood frames are also the most likely contributor to spreading the flames. The company says its structure system costs only a fraction of wood, steel and concrete. It also only takes a fraction of the time to install."

Note: Better not let that steel rust!

2014-09-24 - Mount Sinabung erupts violently, spews ash, in Indonesia:

http://wtvr.com/2014/09/24/did-you-see-it-four-large-fireballs-reported-across-u-s/

Note: Might've been gas plumes igniting and burning as they blew through the atmosphere. Seems unlikely that four meteorites would happen in a compressed timeframe like that. The gas 'fireballs' will burn bluish if they're primarily comprised of methane and greenish if they're primarily comprised of hydrogen sulfide or blue-green if there's some of both gases burning...

2014-09-23 - 'Chemical incident' evacuates three streets in Derby (Britain):

http://www.crawleynews.co.uk/Man-suffers-fit-police-van-arrested/story-22963237-detail/story.html

Note: Sounds like a seizure, so this guy may have been hit by hydrogen sulfide, which fried his brain and made him go crazy or get violent and then shortly after being apprehended he spazzed out. Too bad we can't follow these stories, to see if this man is alive a week from now...

2014-09-22 - Shelter-in-place tips brought to you by Salt Lake City's Fire Department:

'And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f*** it, I quit.'"

Note: Now that was an interesting way to quit!

Quote: "Fednav, a Canadian-owned company and world leader in Arctic navigation, today announced that its vessel, the MV Nunavik sailed from Deception Bay en route to China via Canada's Northwest Passage, with a full cargo of nickel concentrate. The Nunavik will be one of the first commercial vessels to transit the Northwest Passage completely, and the first to do so unescorted with an Arctic cargo..."

Note: Shippers have been chomping at the bit waiting for the old thick Arctic ice to disintegrate enough to allow this. With the Arctic ice melting away so dramatically, this is the benefit: that cargo ships will now be able to make this passage where they never could before, saving considerably on time and fuel...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2759266/August-hottest-record-2014-one-warmest-years-climate-change-began-say-experts.html

Quote: "In a separate study, researchers discovered a link between rising ocean temperatures, and a large pocket of cold air known as the polar vortex. They found that as oceans heat up and melt the Arctic ice, warm air is released that destabilises polar air and sends cold blasts into the atmosphere."

2014-09-18 - Elevated hydrogen sulfide levels hit the Coachella Valley (California), blamed on the Salton Sea:
http://www.kesq.com/news/elevated-levels-of-hydrogen-sulfide-prompt-odor-advisory/28123246

Note: And now that gas will settle into low-lying areas, adsorb onto wood/paper/tires/trash and more, and it will concentrate, the large low-concentration cloud breaking up into many much smaller but higher-concentration clouds. Any cloud - like, say, one in a ditch - that reaches 1 part per 1000 in concentration will be immediately fatal to anyone that breathes it, and you may be slow-poisoned by skin contact with materials onto which the gas has adsorbed too...

2014-09-18 - Chemical odor forces employees out of business, source of odor not discovered, in Provo (Utah):
http://www.kutv.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/-Firefighters-investigate-chemical-smell-at-Provo-business-41413.shtml

Quote: "The Provo Fire Department received a call of a strong chemical smell inside the Smith MegaDiamond building around 1:30 a.m. When they arrived, they say several employees complained of minor skin and eye irritation. Firefighters spent about an hour trying to determine the source of the odor but could not."

2014-09-18 - Chemical smell emanates from toilets at bus station in Coventry (Britain), 5 injured:
http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/video-five-hurt-coventrys-pool-7794598
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/five-injured-after-suspected-chemical-4288810

Quote: "Five people have been injured after a suspected chemical leak at Pool Meadow Bus Station. Fire, police and ambulance crews were called to the Fairfax Street station in Coventry city centre after reports of a strong chemical smell coming from the public toilets."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is commonly called 'sewer gas'. Lots of people have been found dead in bathrooms and toilets in recent times. If the sewer trap isn't filled or isn't functioning properly then the gas can infiltrate buildings that way. A woman was gassed to death by hydrogen sulfide in her home in Kansas City (Missouri) because of a dry sewer trap, mentioned in the 2013-07-04 update...

2014-09-18 - Noxious odor hits McMinnville (Oregon), blamed on sewers, or maybe a landfill, or maybe manure:
http://www.newsregister.com/article?articleTitle=what-s-that-smell--1411135314--14654--news

Quote: "The mysterious stench in McMinnville left many guessing. Some thought sewer work around town was the culprit. But large vacuums used in the process typically suck up any related smells, said city employee Mike Hailey. Others pointed the finger at the Riverbend Landfill. Waste Management spokesperson Jackie Lang said it received several calls from residents about what was described as a sewage smell. That typically is not the type of odor a landfill would produce, Lang said."

Note: Landfills do emit both hydrogen sulfide and methane. Methane is odorless, but hydrogen sulfide is called 'sewer gas'. This might've simply been a cloud of hydrogen sulfide blowing through this area coming in off the Pacific Ocean, which, not coincidentally, has been dying off hard this last year. The fact that they smelled it AND that it smelled bad is actually sort of good because that means that the concentration was low. But now the gas will sink into low-lying areas and concentrate, creating much smaller - but potentially lethal - clouds of gas that may blow around in that area for a bit until the winds take it elsewhere...

2014-09-11 - 'Gas odor' hits area in Grand Junction (Colorado), nothing found:

Quote: "Crews have cleared the scene and found nothing of concern, all roads are open in the area."

Note: So a 'rotten egg' odor was smelled across a pretty big area. Gas crews checked, no leaks or problems with the lines. Natural gas smells like 'rotten eggs' because of the mercaptan they add to it, but hydrogen sulfide also smells like 'rotten eggs' at low concentrations, so people are confusing the two. No gas leaks, so what else could this have been? The fact that they didn't find any source for natural gas is not reassuring - it's alarming, because that means it wasn't natural gas that blew through this area...

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/iceland-s-bardabunga-volcano-threatens-to-blow-1.1924352

Quote: "The ongoing volcanic eruption in Holuhraun has already become the largest lava eruption in Iceland since the 19th century, according to volcanologist Ármann Höskuldsson."

Quote: "Increased subsidence in the caldera of Bardarbunga volcano is a cause for grave concern, due to possible large eruption and glacial flood, says Vidir Reynisson, director of the Civil Protection Agency in Iceland. The subsidence is thought to increase the likelyhood of an eruption in Bardarbunga."

Note: Not looking good. Bardarbunga's caldera has been steadily collapsing. That is one giant pile of ice sitting atop that caldera. If it collapses into magma then there may be a huge volcanic explosion and eruption. Already high levels of sulfur dioxide are spewing east and south of Iceland, hitting Ireland and other European countries. And before this eruption even began, anomalous 'cold events' were already on the rise, from all the other volcanic eruptions that have been steadily occurring. One (really big) volcanic eruption 77,000 years ago killed off 99.9% of the human race with volcanic winter and mass starvation. Many volcanoes erupting can easily surpass the effects of any one eruption and many volcanoes have been erupting. Widespread volcanism also results in hydrogen sulfide and methane planetary extinction events, as explained by this PDF file from an article published in Scientific American in 2006. That's already underway.

The rise in earthquakes and volcanism was predicted by MISA Theory back in 2010. Everything that has happened since then only confirms the accuracy of MISA Theory, though we're certainly not done with major earthquakes and volcanic events and there will be plenty more supporting evidence yet to come.

Quote: "Fire officials now tell NBC 10 they believe it was carbon monoxide fumes omitted from the garbage truck that caused the garbage worker to pass out, but they are still investigating the cause."

Quote: "Firefighters evacuated 12 houses Saturday morning after attending to a stricken and semi-conscious garbage truck driver who reported that he had smelled noxious fumes, according to authorities. After smelling the fumes and beginning to lose consciousness, the disoriented driver was able to stop the truck on Saratoga Avenue and escape the cab around 8:30 a.m., said Pawtucket fire Battalion Chief Steve Tanguay."

Note: Maybe nobody ever told them this but carbon monoxide is a lighter-than-air gas, so when outdoors it just heads up into the sky. Also, maybe nobody told them this either, but carbon monoxide is ODORLESS - which is what makes it so dangerous - so that's DEFINITELY NOT what he smelled. This was very likely hydrogen sulfide, which is a heavier-than-air gas, which got into that garbage. Unlike carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide can knock you unconscious VERY quickly, assuming it doesn't flat-out kill you. A man was found dead on the conveyor belt at a recycling center in Vancouver (Washington) a couple of days prior, mentioned in the 2014-09-04 update. and he was likely killed by hydrogen sulfide that had contaminated some trash that he was near or touching, so he flopped over dead and his corpse ended up at the dump...

2014-09-04 - Villagers afflicted with unknown brain problem in Kazakhstan:
http://english.pravda.ru/society/anomal/04-09-2014/128450-sleeping_sickness-0/

Quote: "The villagers began to ask for medical help complaining of drowsiness, memory loss and hallucinations. All of them were diagnosed with 'encephalopathy of unknown etiology.'"

Quote: "Specialists excluded infectious and bacterial factors and assured that the radiation background in the village was within normal limits. The maximum permissible concentration of salt and heavy metals was not exceeded."

Quote: "In May this year, officials at the Ministry of Health said that one of the possible causes of 'sleeping sickness' in the village of Kalachi could become a high concentration of vapors in basements during the heating season."

Quote: "After waking up, the children were behaving inappropriately. They suffered from delusions and hallucinations; some had to be tied up as it seemed that they intended to hurt themselves."

Note: About 60 people have been afflicted. They fall unconscious, experience memory loss, have hallucinations, and when they wake up they're 'not the same' and do crazy shit, like hurting themselves. This sounds very much like hydrogen sulfide poisoning, which is a broad-spectrum poison but does the most damage to the neurology, the brain. They've eliminated pretty much every possibility EXCEPT an environmental toxin. The mentioning of basements is worth noting since hydrogen sulfide, a heavier-than-air gas, will tend to accumulate in basements when it infiltrates buildings. Also, children, being smaller than adults, tend to succumb easier to toxins.

12,000 endangered saiga antelope dropped dead on May 27 in 2010 in Kazakhstan too. That was one of the events that woke me up. They all died in the same area. Since they're grazers, that doesn't happen due to disease - they'd have been scattered over a wider area as the weakest succumbed and then the next weakest and so on, as they moved. So whatever killed them did so very quickly and was 100% fatal. That's when I asked myself: could one of these ancient H2S-methane extinction events be underway now? I've seen plenty enough since then to be certain that that is indeed the case. Your government has been preparing, as best they can, for widespread human die-off and an unsurvivable surface of the Earth. I guess they just don't think it'd be advantageous if YOU knew what was going on...

Note: Another Jet2 flight just made an emergency landing the day prior due to the cabin filling with smoke, mentioned in the 2014-09-03 update...

Note: Nothing like a snowstorm to cool you down in the SUMMER! Winter starting a coupla months early? Another anomalous 'cold event'. Volcanic winter may be in the early phase already, even if Iceland doesn't go kaboom, due to all the OTHER volcanic eruptions that have steadily been occurring...

2014-09-03 - Kilauea keeps erupting, lava flows within a mile of homes, state of emergency declared in Puna (Hawaii):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VE-20140905-45159-USA

Quote: "A creeping lava flow from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano moved within one mile of homes in lower Puna Thursday, prompting the mayor of Hawaii's Big Island to declare a state of emergency for the county. Although the lava flow has been described as 'very slow-moving,' KHON reports, scientists at Hawaii's Volcano Observatory warned it could reach the Kaohe Homesteads subdivision in five to seven days. The emergency declaration was issued after the volcano observatory raised the level from a watch to a warning, Hawaii News Now reports."

2014-09-03 - Cool smoke-penetrating satellite image of huge forest fire in August in Klamath National Forest (California):

Quote: "State-of-the-art imaging technology on board DigitalGlobe’s recently launched WorldView-3 satellite offers unprecedented views of world events. The technology, known as Shortwave Infrared Imagery, or SWIR, can penetrate thick clouds of smoke, as shown in the above image of a forest fire. The photo reveals a clear image of an August fire at the Happy Camp complex in California’s Klamath National Forest."

2014-09-02 - Noxious fumes hit nine people at movie theater in coastal Bronx (New York), blamed on pepper spray:
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/moviegoers-hit-pepper-spray-bronx-theater-article-1.1923581

Quote: "The patrons were at AMC Bay Plaza cinema on Bartow Ave. in Baychester at around 9:45 p.m. when they were hit by fumes from the noxious agent, an FDNY spokesman said. It was not immediately clear who sprayed the substance or where the toxins were spritzed."

Note: And yet nobody saw anybody spray pepper spray, and nobody was arrested, and the chemical wasn't identified as pepper spray. Looks like a cover story to explain multiple people being hit by eye-irritating noxious gas, just like the 'mixing chemicals' story was used to explain away the guy being gassed to death and others sickening from hydrogen sulfide in that apartment building in coastal Brooklyn Park (Maryland) on this day. They've used the 'pepper spray' story numerous times and, since it seems to be placating people, I'm sure they'll use it again. And hydrogen sulfide IS an eye-irritant...

http://wtvr.com/2014/09/03/oregon-dog-eats-43-socks-vets-remove-every-single-one/

Quote: "They removed 43 and 1/2 socks from the dog’s stomach. A photo provided by the hospital showed all 43 socks; it’s unknown if there are any matches."

Note: Asockalypse now!

2014-09-01 - Radioactive wild boars roaming the forests of Germany:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=ED-20140901-45105-DEU

Quote: "Wild boars still roam the forests of Germany, where they are hunted for their meat, which is sold as a delicacy. But in recent tests by the state government of Saxony, more than one in three boars were found to give off such high levels of radiation that they are unfit for human consumption."

Note: This sounds like the makings of a bad SyFy Channel movie here...

Note: 'Take a little off the top...'
