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.

2015-04-27 - Volcanic eruptions and large earthquakes escalating across the planet:
http://thecostaricanews.com/are-earthquakes-and-volcano-activity-on-the-rise
http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/are-earthquakes-and-volcanic-eruptions-increasing-across-the-planet/
Quote: "If it seems like earthquakes and erupting volcanoes are happening more frequently, that’s because they are. Looking at global magnitude six (M6) or greater from 1980 to 1989 there was an average of 108.5 earthquakes per year, from 2000 to 2009 the planet averaged 160.9 earthquakes per year: that is a 38.9% increase of M6+ earthquakes in recent years."
Quote: "Unrest also seems to be growing among the world’s super-volcanoes. Iceland (which is home to some of the most dangerous volcanoes on the planet), Santorini in Greece, Uturuncu in Bolivia, the Yellowstone and Long Valley calderas in the U.S., Laguna del Maule in Chile, Italy’s Campi Flegrei – almost all of the world’s active super-volcanic systems are now exhibiting some signs of inflation, an early indication that pressure is building in these volcanic systems."
2015-04-27 - Volcanic eruptions becoming more violent:
http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/shift-volcanic-eruptions-increasingly-becoming-more-aggressive-and-violent/
Quote: "We are beginning to witness more aggressive activity from the world’s eruptive volcanic systems. Chile’s Calbuco, Peru’s Ubinas volcano, Indonesia’s Mt. Sinabung volcano, Mexico’s Colima volcano, and Costa Rica’s Turrialba volcano are not the only volcanoes ejecting high altitude ash plumes in more powerful eruptions these days – the list of volcanoes across the globe now experiencing similar simultaneous activity is growing."

Note: All of this escalating volcanic and seismic activity around the planet is exactly as predicted by MISA Theory in 2010 and retrospectively corroborated by one of the finest geology teams on the planet two years later in 2012. Everything is connected. MISA Theory leads to the Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis, and that leads to the end of human civilization as we know it, at least on the surface of the Earth...

2015-04-27 - Mysterious explosion rocks Wookey (Britain), smoke seen too:
http://www.wellsjournal.co.uk/Mystery-explosion-rocks-Wookey/story-26396405-detail/story.html
Quote: "Residents reported hearing the 'huge bang' and seeing a plume of smoke in a field north of Henley Lane at around 11am."
Quote: "A spokeswoman for the police said: 'We did go along and have a look, and talked to some people living nearby, but there was no sign of anything suspicious. There was no scorched grass, no craters – no sign of any explosion at all.'"
Quote: "Mystery explosions are not a new phenomenon – in November last year hundreds of people across the Manchester area took to social media having heard a huge explosion."
Note: There was no damage on the ground because the explosion occurred high enough off the ground not to cause any damage on the ground, this time. These mysterious explosions, sometimes accompanied by a 'flash of light', began escalating at the same time that methane began belching from the ground and the oceans around the planet. No coincidence there...

A Kiev scientist on the Chernobyl fires
Kiev threatens radioactive contamination - Ukrainian scientist
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-kiev-scientist-on-chernobyl-fires.html
The strongest wildfire raging in the Chernobyl zone, is threatening Kiev with radiation pollution.
This was stated by Dmitry Gilitukha from the National University of Bioresources and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine.
The scientist said that the main danger lies in the fact that the fire take the forest areas contaminated by radiation after the Chernobyl accident. According to him, such incidents occurred in 1992-1995, and the Ukrainian leadership to suppress the data.
"I have just came across ithis nformation:", the forest caught fire on April 28 at Chernobyl. What is the danger? ".
[So if the accumulated leaves and tree debris that have been sitting there ever since undisturbed and not decomposing (due to dead soil bacteria), and covered in radiation, burn from this fire, the radiation will waft into the atmosphere an spread all around the globe, like Fukushima!]

Been watching the fires burning active nuclear plants here and there, most recently in Taiwan, yet somehow I never even considered a Chernobyl fire or a Fukushima fire. Doesn't sound good!
ReplyDeleteWhat other nuke plants are in danger of (or are) burning?

Woman rescued from 35 ft deep sinkhole in Cherokee County, Texas
http://www.sott.net/article/295838-Woman-rescued-from-35-ft-deep-sinkhole-in-Cherokee-County-Texas
The woman slipped and fell in around 8:30 p.m. Monday while trying to put up barricades around the hole.
Fire crews estimate the sinkhole is about 35 feet deep and stretches about 25 feet across Wylie Road. The road is shut down to all traffic at this time.
The sinkhole is located less than a mile away from a home that is collapsing on Lake Palestine. It is not clear at this time if the two incidents are related.

Research shows Cascadia Subduction Zone reacts to tidal forces; ‘slow slip’ building up pressure on fault
https://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/research-shows-cascadia-subduction-zone-reacts-to-tidal-forces-slow-slip-building-up-pressure-on-fault/
[begins]
SEATTLE — As the death toll rises from Nepal’s magnitude 7.8 earthquake, new research from the University of Washington shows that a similar fault off the Pacific Northwest coast is so weak and slippery in places that minuscule tidal forces produced by the sun and moon are enough to trigger tremors. The quakes involved are so tiny they’re imperceptible to people. But they’re part of a recently discovered process called slow slip that ratchets up pressure on the offshore fault called the Cascadia Subduction Zone — slightly boosting the risk of a megaquake and tsunami. The next slow-slip event is expected to begin sometime this fall or winter. The Cascadia fault and the one responsible for Nepal’s devastation are both boundaries where tectonic plates collide. In Nepal, the Indian subcontinent is being forced under Central Asia, while in the Northwest, the seafloor is diving — or subducting — under North America. [read the rest]

Still here. Drop in first thing every morning. I am left pretty much speechless by it all.
ReplyDeleteI go to a bunch of other websites including the ones you usually refer to Tom. Thanks for all the interesting ( and amusing ) comments. Still hard sometimes to believe what is happening. Thanks Jonny, incredible how spot on your prognostications have been ! Take care and good luck !!

Well, since you ask, Tom, I rarely miss visiting here a single day and this JUST happened last night while I was at work a few blocks away and saw/heard the fire trucks headed to the beach...here's the latest from Hilton Head Island, SC http://www.islandpacket.com/2015/04/29/3723541_fire-destroys-home-on-hilton-head.html?rh=1
ReplyDeleteThe article notes that the fire started in a service yard: The function of a Service Yard is to accommodate vehicles and equipment moving in and out of the maintenance facility and storage buildings.
Water, vehicles...voila FIRE!
About 3 weeks ago paramedics had to remove a man acting 'irregularly' and walking out into traffic right outside my work station...don't think it made the paper though.
Kudos to you Johnny for persevering in bringing this reality to public awareness, sharonjorgen
