Event Update For 2017-10-08

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.

2017-10-08 - Unknown foul smell blows in off the ocean and hits coastal Kaohsiung (Taiwan):
http://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3270197

Quote: "Mysterious smell wafts over Taiwan harbor town of Kaohsiung. Smell came from over sea, but nature and origin unknown..."

Quote: "Virtually all the areas from where the more than 30 phone calls had originated, were situated close by the water, while the wind at the time was blowing in from the west, from over the sea, leading investigators to conclude that the cause must lie somewhere over the water."

Note: Kaohsiung is also where the most devastating underground fire so far occurred. Massive explosions and fires in the underground sewer system blew a bunch of streets apart in Kaohsiung in 2014, killing 24+ people and injuring more than 270 people, mentioned in the 2014-07-31 update...

Quote: "Many residents in Southwest Florida woke up to an unusual smell Sunday morning. Fox 4 received emails from our viewers about the unpleasant odor. The Collier County Solid Waste Department is telling us that the smell is originating from the county landfill off Collier Boulevard."

Quote: "The Solid Waste Department said a large buildup of waste from Hurricane Irma over the past month created the sulfur-like smell. 'What I smelled this morning was a foul, sewage smell. It was real hard and foul,' said Frantz Adeclat of Naples."

Note: Calm down, people, it's just poison gas!

http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/suspected-anthrax-outbreak-kills-107-hippos-in-namibia-117100800497_1.html
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-10/08/c_136665237.htm

Quote: "A suspected anthrax outbreak has killed 107 hippos in one of Namibia's biggest game parks in the Zambezi region in Namibia in just one week. The park's deputy director Apollinaris Kannyinga confirmed the deaths Sunday at Bwabwata National Park. Kannyinga said the first 10 deaths were reported on Oct. 1 but had risen by the end of the week. 'We suspect an anthrax outbreak, but our veterinary is still yet to confirm that,' Kannyinga said. He also said that this was the first time such a deadly outbreak has hit Namibia."

Note: So they don't know what killed them, though they suspect anthrax, even though that's never happened there before. I wouldn't be jumping to any conclusions if I were them. Hippos live in and near water...

Now see, tasing a guy like that doesn't make it any better or easier for his already reeling mind and emotionally jacked-up body to calm down and recover from whatever this incident was. In fact, it probably helped kill him - what cops do best! Why they don't use tranquilizer darts, like they do on wild animals, I can't understand.

Those CA fires are horrendous! There goes the wine!

Great pumpkins! Grower wins trifecta of giant food titles
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/good-news/great-pumpkins-grower-wins-trifecta-of-giant-food-titles/ar-AAtb6UN

A Rhode Island grower is first in the world to achieve a trifecta in the hobby of growing gargantuan foods: world records for heaviest pumpkin, longest long gourd and now, heaviest squash.

After previously breaking two records, Joe Jutras got his third during the weekend when smashed the giant squash record with one that weighed more than a ton. His green squash tipped the scales at 2,118 pounds (960 kilograms) during a weigh-in at Frerichs Farm in Warren on Saturday. [more]

When a person thinks a stock will go up significantly, he can buy a CALL, to lock-in a sale price. Conversely, when he thinks a stock will FALL in value, he can buy a "PUT"
So why did George Soros' Investment Fund think - in August 2017, just 8 weeks or so before the Mandalay Bay Massacre -- that the value of MGM Stock would FALL? Why did Soros Investments buy "PUTS" on 1,350,000 MGM Shares? [more]

http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/10/more-on-cesnorship-by-corporate-media.html

Remember: When all five mainstream news channels are reporting exactly the same thing, that’s usually because they’re all lying in unison. It’s all the same news because they all got the same memo that morning. In contrast, real journalists don’t achieve 100% conformity in their analyses. (Only fake news is homogenized for your mindless consumption.) But YouTube and Google want to make sure you never see any diverse news because someone might contradict the official lies being spewed that day.

Tropical storm Ophelia poised to tie a hurricane season record more than a century old
https://www.sott.net/article/364110-Tropical-storm-Ophelia-poised-to-tie-a-hurricane-season-record-more-than-a-century-old

The feverish 2017 hurricane season doesn't seem to be letting up: on Monday, Tropical Storm Ophelia formed in the central Atlantic and is expected to become a hurricane this week.

While the storm poses no threat to land, it could become the 10th consecutive storm to grow to hurricane strength - a streak of intense systems that will tie a record last set in the late 1800s. It comes in a season that has already produced five major hurricanes, including three ferocious Category 5 storms, and 15 named storms.

The amount of accumulated cyclone energy - a measure of the intensity and longevity of storms - is also 254 percent higher than average with seven weeks left in the season, said University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. [more]

Scott Alonso, communications director for Sonoma County, said family members have been reporting those missing in calls to a designated hotline in the county. He said it is possible that many or most of the missing are safe but simply can't be reached because of the widespread loss of cell service and other communications.

A brush fire that erupted in Anaheim Hills late Monday morning was fueled by strong Santa Ana winds and threatening homes, burning 6,000 acres so far, according to Anaheim Fire and Rescue.

At least 24 homes have destroyed in Anaheim, Orange and Tustin and more have been damaged. Fire officials noted that numbers could change. About 5,000 structures are threatened. Firefighters managed to get the fire 5 percent contained as of 9 p.m. Monday.

The fire, labeled the Canyon Fire 2, started near Coal Canyon and the 91 Freeway - near where the Canyon Fire started several weeks ago. That fire burned east toward Corona, while this fire is burning west toward Anaheim, Anaheim Fire's Daron Wyatt said - at a much higher rate due to high winds, burning in hours the number of acres that the first Canyon Fire took a week to burn.

No matter how asinine this circus becomes there's always someone willing to crawl out from under their rock to defend taking the very ideas that got us here to the next level of fraud. Therein lies the problem for Trump's acolytes. He is Terminal Idiocracy. He's a test for who would recoil in disgust at what America has devolved into, versus who would embrace all aspects of this fraud and spectacle.

Trump can't be . . . saviour in the proxy culture war, which by the way is merely a diversion to cover up the fact that multinationals are strip mining the country. Why? Because Trump doesn't represent culture, he represents abject lack of culture. In the words of right wing apologist, Ann Coulter, who wrote the book "In Trump We Trust", he's "grotesque". Faint praise indeed. Ignorance and arrogance are not culture. Nor is sociopathic lying, misogyny, thinly veiled racism, false bravado, self-aggrandizement, war-mongering, nor strip mining healthcare to pay for tax cuts. [more]

California produces over half of the marijuana consumed in the US. The state's legal cannabis sales totaled approximately $2 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach $5 billion in coming years, according to an analysis by University of California-Davis researchers.

Researchers estimate that four of out five pounds of California-grown cannabis, which is usually harvested in the fall, is shipped out of state.

Wildfires that burn close to marijuana fields are known for giving the crop a smokey flavor.

"Especially when it’s ripe — I can tell you from personal experience, wildfire definitely will make your cannabis have a smoky flavor to it; just like wine," Kristin Nevedal, executive director of the Humboldt County-based International Cannabis Farmers Association told The Chronicle in September.
