Event Update For 2016-12-21





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://patch.com/pennsylvania/radnor/s/fzbsn/medical-marijuana-laws-connected-to-fewer-traffic-deaths

Quote: "Since 1985, American states that passed laws permitting medical marijuana use have seen significant reductions in the number of traffic fatalities. On average, these states had lower rates of automobile-related deaths than states without medical marijuana laws."

Quote: "Traffic fatalities fell 11 percent after enacting medical marijuana laws and had 26 percent lower rates of such deaths on average compared to other states. As of November 2016, 28 states and Washington, D.C., had legalized medical marijuana to some extent, though it remains illegal at the federal level."
