Event Update For 2017-10-05

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.

2017-10-05 - Unknown odor hits school, several students sent to the hospital, in Indio (California), 21 miles from the Salton Sea:

http://www.kesq.com/news/hazmat-crews-called-to-shadow-hills-high-school/632272349

Quote: "An unusual odor that made students feel ill led to the evacuation of 1,900 students from Shadow Hills High School in Indio on Thursday, Oct. 5. Six people were sent to area hospitals for evaluation, and another 22 evaluated at school with minor symptoms, according to a Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department news release. The incident was reported at 12:23 p.m. at the school in the 39000 block of Jefferson Street. The county’s hazardous materials team was unable to locate a source of the odor."

Quote: "Anna Rodriguez, a student at Shadow Hills, said people started smelling something weird during lunch, some saying it smelled like gas. School officials then immediately started rounding students up and sent them outside."

Note: So it smelled like (natural) gas, e.g. a 'rotten egg' odor, but no natural gas was detected and no leaks were found. That was hydrogen sulfide. They're lucky people didn't start foaming at the mouth, having seizures and/or dropping dead. Of course, that may happen the next time some poison gas blows through...

2017-10-05 - Unknown 'gas odor' hits middle school two days in a row in Crofton (Maryland), 4 miles from the coast:

While responders combed the building with gas meters to detect any possible leaks, Davies said no leaks were located and the building was cleared within a half-hour in both instances."

2017-10-05 - Spike in radioactive Ruthenium-106 detected in Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and France:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=ED-20171006-60088-MLC
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2017/10/a-spike-in-radioactivity-has-been.html

Quote: "German officials say that a spike in radioactivity has been detected in the air in Western and Central Europe but there's no threat to human health. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection said Thursday that elevated levels of the isotope Ruthenium-106 have been reported in Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and France since Sept. 29. Spokesman Jan Henrik Lauer told The Associated Press the source of the Ruthenium-106 isn't known but calculations indicate it may have been released in eastern Europe. Ruthenium-106 is used for radiation therapy to treat eye tumors, and sometimes as a source of energy to power satellites."

Note: Maybe a satellite broke up in the atmosphere over Europe?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/10/04/congress-decided-against-repealing-this-climate-rule-so-the-trump-administration-is-undoing-it/

Quote: "This week, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke will issue a proposal to formally delay a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule that requires oil and gas companies operating on federal and tribal lands to capture methane that would otherwise be vented or burned off."

Note: If you were hoping to be one of the people who burst into flame and die screaming as you burn to death, this guy and his boss are working to make your hopes a reality!

http://foxsanantonio.com/news/offbeat/police-drunken-man-claims-he-traveled-back-from-year-2048-to-warn-of-alien-invasion-10-06-2017

Quote: "Police say a central Wyoming man they arrested for public intoxication claimed he had traveled back in time to warn of an alien invasion. Casper police say the man they encountered at 10:30 p.m. Monday claimed he was from the year 2048. KTWO-AM in Casper reports that the man told police that he wanted to warn the people of Casper that aliens will arrive next year, and that they should leave as soon as possible. He asked to speak to the president of the town, about 170 miles (270 kilometers) northwest of Cheyenne. The man told police he was only able to time travel because aliens filled his body with alcohol. He noted that he was supposed to be transported to the year 2018, not this year."

Note: I think the rule for alcohol-based time travel is one year per beer, so obviously he had one beer too many to end up here in 2017!

Quote: "Yes, Virginia, there was a Santa Claus — but now he’s dead. The tomb belonging to dear old St. Nick may have just been discovered under an ancient church in southern Turkey, archeologists said Wednesday. The previously unknown tomb was detected via electronic surveys that showed gaps beneath the 1,500-year-old St. Nicholas Church in the Antalya Province town of Demre."
