Event Update For 2017-05-19

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.

Quote: "At least five people were killed when a boat carrying nearly 200 people caught fire in Indonesia, rescuers said Saturday."

Quote: "The 'Mutiara Sentosa 1' with 178 persons on board caught fire in the Java Sea near Masalembu island, halfway between Macassar and Surabaya, in the afternoon of May 19, 2017. The ferry was en route from Surabaya to Macassar. The ship was dead in the water seven miles off the Eastern coast of Masalembu near 05 33S 114 34E. There were 44 crew members and 134 passengers on board. The master ordered an evacuation. The passengers and crew went into life boats and rafts."

Quote: "The Mutiara was under way from Java to Balikpapan, Borneo when a fire broke out on her car deck. The crew made an attempt to put it out with the vessel's sprinkler system but it could not be extinguished. The master ultimately ordered the passengers and crew to abandon ship into the vessel's lifeboats."

Good morning, Jonny! What a night - that band was spectacular!
Fantastic light show accompanying the 6-piece group - keyboard, bass, lead (superb), rhythm, regular drums and another guy on timbales, congas and assorted percussion. Everybody dancing for hours on end - oblivious and ecstatic.

Got an Uber home (30 something "kid" - National Guardsman in a tricked out Jeep Wrangler) - and was in by ~ 1:30 a.m. (just in time for Star's End radio show on WXPN to carry me off into peaceful sleep).

Another car-hauler and an ambulance on this day.

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is so remote that only 28 human beings have ever set foot on it.

A long, slow rise of the waters in the coming decades may be manageable. A more abrupt rise would not be. "If there is going to be a climate catastrophe," says Ohio State glaciologist Ian Howat, "it's probably going to start at Thwaites." [more]

Study finds varied increases in extreme rainfall with global warming
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/05/study-finds-varied-increases-in-extreme.html

A new study by researchers from MIT and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich shows that the most extreme rain events in most regions of the world will increase in intensity by 3 to 15 percent, depending on region, for every degree Celsius that the planet warms. [more]

Athena
https://wikileaks.org/vault7/releases/#Athena

Today, May 19th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes documents from the "Athena" project of the CIA. "Athena" - like the related "Hera" system - provides remote beacon and loader capabilities on target computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system (from Windows XP to Windows 10). Once installed, the malware provides a beaconing capability (including configuration and task handling), the memory loading/unloading of malicious payloads for specific tasks and the delivery and retrieval of files to/from a specified directory on the target system. It allows the operator to configure settings during runtime (while the implant is on target) to customize it to an operation. [more]

ZH: Long Brazil ETF Loses Record -48% In One Day
Thanks to leveraged ETFs, the 1987 crash has become child’s play. For a number of these ETFs, a 20% decline has become a non-event...Before this week, the 3x short Financials ETF (FAZ) had held the record for largest one-day loss, at 45.1% (on March 23, 2009). The record stood for over 8 years. Who will be the first to lose 50% in a single day? The casino is open – place your bets.

Ok, let me begin with the fact that the above list does NOT include the flash crashes, which took down many 1x leveraged ETFs by 40+%, including the equal weight S&P 500, because by the end of the day, these had recovered.

My opinion is that this week set up the largest smash crash in history [more]

Hey Jonny, I've been planting around the house today. My wife just got home from shopping and she said a small plane crashed on Rt. 322 in Chester Co. (outside of West Chester, possibly East Bradford Twp.) - it had been towed to the side of the road and the fire police were directing traffic.
