Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2015-02-19

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.

2015-02-19 - Naked man runs around on I-5, bites cop on leg, in coastal San Diego (California):

http://www.961kiss.com/onair/the-morning-freak-show-46988/naked-man-goes-on-highway-rampage-13271679/

Quote: "A naked man was arrested while running and yelling at motorists in passing vehicles on Interstate 5 in San Diego, the California Highway Patrol said Thursday. But his most serious crime was almost certainly biting a CHP officer on the leg before being arrested, the CHP said."

Note: Here's a Google Maps link of the area...

2015-02-19 - Naked man tries to break into US Embassy in Moscow (Russia), says spies out to get him:
http://rbth.com/news/2015/02/19/naked_man_tries_to_enter_us_embassy_premises_in_moscow_43839.html
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/naked-man-tries-to-break-into-u-s-embassy-in-moscow-to-escape-surveillance/516201.html

Note: A huge cloud of hydrogen sulfide hit Moscow late last year, forcing residents to shelter-in-place, mentioned in the 2014-11-10 update. Sometimes psychological problems resulting from neurological damage from hydrogen sulfide poisoning can manifest months after exposure, so he could've been poisoned back in November when that huge cloud of poison gas blew through there, but just started going insane now...

2015-02-19 - Dog gets let outside, returns within minutes foaming at the mouth and dies, at home in Cross City (Florida):
http://www.wcjb.com/local-news/2015/02/dogs-found-dead-cross-city

Note: Dogs were suffering mysterious seizures not long ago, and sometimes dying, in coastal Miami Beach (Florida), mentioned in the 2015-11-14 update. Children just sickened at a school, unknown cause, in coastal West Palm Beach (Florida), mentioned in the 2015-02-06 update. A cat was found 'dead' and 'came back to life' in coastal Tampa (Florida), mentioned in the 2015-01-17 update. Sewer gas (that's the common name for hydrogen sulfide) hit a bank and sickened some people two days in a row in coastal Cocoa Beach (Florida), mentioned in the 2015-01-21 update. A man burned to death inside a sauna in coastal North Miami Beach (Florida), mentioned in the 2015-01-20 update. A foul stench recently blew through coastal Santa Rosa (Florida), mentioned in the 2014-12-14 update. And so on and so on. So yeah, it's not always going to be just fires burning stuff and PEOPLE sickening or dropping dead - pets breathe oxygen so they're sickening and dying too (along with fish, manatees, etc). This isn't surprising: Florida is downwind of the Gulf of Mexico, North America's sewer. This town is about 10 miles east (downwind) of the Gulf Coast...

Quote: "Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott says patrons at a Van Nuys Starbucks heard an explosive sound on Tuesday and saw Glanz stagger from the bathroom engulfed in flames. He collapsed near the entrance and bystanders help put out the flames. Glanz suffered burns over 90 percent of his body and died the next day."

Note: They keep SAYING that he set himself on fire, but there's no evidence of that. All we can know for sure is 1) there was an explosion sound; 2) this man exited the bathroom on fire; and 3) this man is dead. Nobody saw him set himself on fire. There's no note. He didn't tell anyone he was going to set himself on fire. Sounds like the authorities want people to believe he did this to himself, even though there's no evidence of that. I gave them two or three days to come up with some evidence for their story, thinking that they might actually have some, but they failed to produce anything. Looks like they're going with the 'repeat something enough times and people will believe it' tactic. That probably does work on a lot of people too, at least those unfamiliar with the writings of Orwell...

Quote: "There's no word on what prompted his suicide."

Note: Actually, there's no indication that he committed suicide at all...

Note: Well, if you're trying to hide the truth and deceive people, or you're incompetent, unobservant and/or ignorant of what's occurring, that's the way to phrase it, sure. If you're trying to tell the truth, it would be more like: "Prima facie it appears to be a case of hydrogen sulfide poisoning as the body was found with no signs of injury while in or near a low-lying area or body of water."

Quote: "Authorities say Dwight Bazile, a 37-year HFD veteran who works out of Station 46, had suffered some kind of medical emergency. Bazile was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where authorities say he is in 'extremely critical' condition."

Note: Many fires nowadays are going to have some hydrogen sulfide in the smoke, which is a deadly poison, as lethal as hydrogen cyanide, which is what is used in gas chambers to execute people. This kind of event has been happening to firefighters (and others near fires) with increasing regularity: people collapsing into burn piles, people burning to death near campfires, people fleeing house fires just to collapse and die, that kind of thing. If there's a fire, you probably should avoid breathing in any smoke because there's no way to know just how deadly it might be...

Note: After a 'rotten egg' odor started blowing in off the ocean onto Quincy (Massachusetts) in 2013, a mysterious plane started buzzing Quincy too, and again nobody would say what it was for. That event was mentioned in the 2013-05-10 update...

Quote: "Burns says the trucks cost $.30 per mile to run compared to $1.00 per mile with gas and maintenance in a regular truck. Atop the trucks is room for an add-on horsefly drone -- for use when commercial drones are approved by the FAA. The horsefly drone was developed by AMP Electric Vehicles and University of Cincinnati researchers, the station reports. The drone has a claw that sticks down into the cabin of the truck so that the driver can hand it packages, WVXU adds."

Hey Jonny - you have a typo in your 1st Animal Attacks piece (should be "dogs").

Yeah, nobody in a position of authority wants to let on that anything is wrong environmentally because it would only reveal that 1) they can't control it, 2) don't know what's going on, and/or 3) don't want to spook the herd and cause panic and chaos (probably on orders from higher ups). One thing's for sure - it's only going to get worse.

PA having these incidents while we're at record cold conditions. It's 12 F right now where i am and supposed to heat up to 28 today ("honey, where're my swim trunks?") with snow (3 - 5" forecast) this afternoon and tonight.

Dubai 'Torch' residential tower engulfed in flames

[quotes]

As the fire spread, chunks of the facade began falling down. Firefighters on the ground were extinguishing the debris and pieces of molten glass that had fallen from above. [that's a pretty hot fire]

"There have been three fire alarms every week recently and all were false," he told Gulfnews.

The fact there there were multiple false alarms seems to indicate some sort of electrical malfunction, not unlike door bells on porches or cars starting themselves.

I was wondering how they fight these high-rise fires. Now I see! They fought this one from ANOTHER high-rise next to it. No fire trucks can reach that high. So there's the disadvantage of two of them near each other: they both might burn. But then there's the advantage too: you can fight a fire in one from the other. Without that, I guess you'd be stuck fighting it from inside the burning one, or air drops I guess.
