Event Update For 2016-12-17

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.

2016-12-17 - Unknown odor sickening people in coastal Seal Beach and coastal Huntington Beach (California):
http://www.presstelegram.com/environment-and-nature/20161216/whats-that-smell-residents-in-seal-beach-huntington-beach-want-answers
http://www.sott.net/article/337248-Outgassing-More-reports-of-noxious-odors-around-Southern-California-beaches

Quote: "Periodically and unpredictably, mysterious chemical-like fumes drift into Rhonda Wainwright’s home not far from Huntington Beach’s Central Park. The noxious odors have induced headaches, burning of the eyes and throat, nosebleeds and vomiting, she says. Even her dog and two cats have retched during the malodorous episodes that 'about knocks you on your knees,' said Wainwright."

Quote: "Roughly 6 miles away in coastal Seal Beach, resident Susan Perrell reports suffering similar foul odors. Perrell, an environmental adviser to an oil and gas company, also describes a petroleum-like stench that can be intense enough to 'knock you over.' Their experiences are far from isolated."

Quote: "Last month, air-quality regulators saw a spike in such complaints in the Huntington Beach and Seal Beach areas. Over several consecutive days, the South Coast Air Quality Management District fielded dozens of calls involving 'a nasty egg odor (or a) petroleum odor,' said agency spokesman Sam Atwood."

Quote: "Residents also have lodged complaints with fire officials, the gas company and others, seeking help in pinpointing the source of the smells, which many say have increased in frequency and intensity over the past two years."

Note: Most likely this is hydrogen sulfide blowing ashore. In early October, hydrogen sulfide hit coastal Goleta (California), mentioned in the 2016-10-09 update. In mid-October hydrogen sulfide hit coastal South Laguna (California), mentioned in the 2016-10-13 update...

2016-12-17 - GOP legislators attempt to rewrite state law in North Carolina as a form of legislative coup, citizens ejected:
http://leecamp.net/8306-2/
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/12/15/north_carolina_legislative_coup_public_barred_from_chambers_reporter_arrested.html

Quote: "The North Carolina GOP, facing the defeat of incumbent Gov. Pat McCrory on November 8, are doing everything they can to hold onto power, even if it means literally rewriting state law. Such is the decaying state of American democracy in 2016."

Quote: "The North Carolina General Assembly is currently debating a series of Republican-sponsored laws designed to strip power from the newly progressive governor and state Supreme Court. If passed, these measures would have far-reaching effects on the state, significantly curtailing judicial independence, loosening environmental standards, diminishing the quality of public education, and preserving unlawful voter suppression laws. However, the public was not able to witness the debate over this de facto legislative coup on Thursday afternoon after the Assembly decided to close the House and Senate galleries and arrest a group of protesters, as well as a reporter."

Note: Dastardly miscreants!
