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.southasianmedia.net/stories/maldives/english-language-media/boat-in-maldives-island-harbour-catches-fire-story
Quote: "Friday's fire is the latest in a series of maritime accidents, involving fires. A speedboat with three people onboard caught fire soon after departing from Reethi Rah resort in Kaafu Atoll on Thursday. The crew were the only people onboard the boat named 'Sirius 19' which was only carrying three. All three people jumped as soon as the fire broke out and were picked up by another speedboat soon after. In September, a speedboat carrying tourists from the airport caught fire leaving several injured."
Note: The speedboat fire was mentioned in the 2015-12-24 update, so that's two boats going up in flames in two days in the Maldives. These are the 1101st and 1102nd boats or ships to burn in 2015...

Note: Don't need any 'ozone anomalies' when there's lots of methane leaking from the permafrost and sometimes just plain exploding out of the ground, as has happened multiple times in Siberia. You'd think they'd be more aware of such things happening in their own country. Maybe they missed that giant cloud of hydrogen sulfide that hit Moscow too, mentioned in the 2014-11-10 update, or maybe they're unaware that hydrogen sulfide is also explosively flammable. Maybe they'll wake up before everyone in Russia is dead...or maybe they won't!

California's giant methane leak
Why Engineers Can’t Stop Los Angeles' Enormous Methane Leak
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2015/12/californias-methane-leak.html
[quote]
Part of the problem in stopping the leak lies in the base of the well, which sits 8,000 feet underground. Pumping fluids down into the will, usually the normal recourse, just isn’t working, said Silva. Workers have been ”unable to establish a stable enough column of fluid to keep the force of gas coming up from the reservoir.” The company is now constructing a relief well that will connect to the leaking well, and hopefully provide a way to reduce pressure so the leak can be plugged.
It’s worth noting that the type of gas involved in this leak is part of what makes it so sinister. Methane, the main component of natural gas, is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide when it comes to climate change impact. About one-fourth of the anthropogenic global warming we’re experiencing today is due to methane emissions, according to the Environmental Defense Fund. Leaks like the current one in California, it turns out, are a major contributor. In Pasadena, for instance, just miles from the leak in Aliso, investigators found one leak for every four miles [map]
So far, over 150 million pounds of methane have been released by the leak, which connects to an enormous underground containment system. Silva says that the cause of the leak is still unknown, but research by EDF has also revealed that more than 38 percent of the pipes in Southern California Gas Company’s territory are more than 50 years old, and 16 percent are made of made from corrosion- and leak-prone materials. [brilliant!]

Fukushima is an extinction event for Honshu at the very least. And now they want to restart more nuclear power stations. Doubling down on the debt already owed to death.

The Queen's OTHER Christmas message
Another one of those stories which can’t be confirmed or proven.
Queen’s 2015 Christmas Message: “Enjoy Your Final Christmas”
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2015/12/the-queens-other-christmas-message.html
Clearly troubled, the Queen said, “She knew too much.” The Queen asked her subjects to understand that the Royal Family simply did what was necessary to ensure their own survival.
Senior BBC production staff and palace advisors scrambled to cancel the take, but not before the Queen expressed dark fears that this will be the last Christmas on earth because malevolent forces, much stronger than her own, are stalking across Europe, gaining ground every day.
“I hope you enjoy your final Christmas,” she said bitterly, before BBC staff, under strict orders from palace advisors, cancelled the take and sent junior staff on an early lunch.
Later in the day the Christmas message was re-done, the second take proving less troubling to the establishment.

You recently reported on unexplained booms in, I think it was, Susquehanna county, PA. People on Facebook in western chester county are discussing a boom they heard today. I wonder if you could provide a link to the recent story nearby, last two weeks I think it was.
ReplyDeleteWas it this one? (In the 2015-11-29 update.)

Jonny, I looked all over for any mention of a loud boom TODAY in western Chester county (where I live) and there's zero information. Nothing on Facebook, local or regional news. Maybe by tomorrow.

The Facebook discussion was in a group called 'phoenixville without the fascism'. Something was heard by people in phoenixville, east vincent, spring city and collegeville. I mentioned the recent mystery booms in schuylkill have - yes, Jonny, thanks, that was it. We shall see, so far no mention of what it might have been.
ReplyDeleteSorry, more like north eastern chester county.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, phoenixville is down the schuylkill river from schuylkill haven!

ReplyDeleteThanks for (finally) putting a bit more detail there; i'll check it out. You "could" put the link to the FB page you saw this on, but don't go to any trouble .. .
