Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2017-10-15

Event Update For 2017-10-15

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: "The long and brutal 2017 wildfire season is stressing the state and federal agencies that have to pay for the army of ground crews and machinery required to fight them. The federal government spent more than $2.7 billion on firefighting in its most recently finished budget year, a record that far surpassed the previous high point of $2.1 billion set just two years ago."

Quote: "Late season wildfires that broke out over the weekend in Portugal have killed at least 35 people, including a 1-month-old infant, authorities said Monday, making 2017 by far the deadliest year on record for forest blazes in the country. In neighboring Spain, wildfires have also killed at least four people and prompted the evacuation of thousands in the northwest region of Galicia, as the remnants of winds from Hurricane Ophelia fanned the flames along Iberia's Atlantic coast. The fires returned to Portugal four months after a summer blaze claimed 64 lives in one night. The year's current total of 99 deaths is far higher than the previous annual record of 25, in 1966."

Note: Same exact scenario as in California, with high winds blowing off the ocean onto the western coast of the land mass followed by devastating fires...

Wow, Jonny - reading today's report I thought "man, if I had a large map on my wall of the U.S. and pinned all the people along the coast who have died (even if it was limited to "medical episodes") there'd be a much clearer picture of "hot-spots" and the creep of H2S along our coastlines and into the interior.

Your predictions are all occurring (and getting worse), and have been since you began your documentation of unfolding events.

Media silent as gov't uses Vegas shooting to push bill allowing warrantless searches
https://www.sott.net/article/364634-Media-silent-as-govt-uses-Vegas-shooting-to-push-bill-allowing-warrantless-searches

In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, the coalition noted that one of the most obvious problems with the USA Liberty Act is that it fails to address concerns with the "backdoor search loophole," which allows the government to"conduct warrantless searches for the information of individuals who are not targets of Section 702, including U.S. citizens and residents."

Oil price collapse: OPEC countries out $1 trillion
https://www.sott.net/article/364632-Oil-price-collapse-OPEC-countries-out-1-trillion

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has lost over $1 trillion since the oil prices more than halved since mid-2014.

"Over the past two years, we saw not only a drop in investment in the sector but also a decrease in oil revenues. Collectively, OPEC countries lost more than $1 trillion," OPEC Secretary General Mohammad Barkindo said Sunday in Kuwait.

According to Barkindo, oil demand will grow at a "healthy pace" over the next five years, as renewables are expanding at a high pace. [more; I bet he's wrong about that]

Deadly wildfires sweep across Portugal and northern Spain killing at least 39 (UPDATE)
https://www.sott.net/article/364565-Deadly-wildfires-sweep-across-Portugal-and-northern-Spain-killing-at-least-39-UPDATE

Portugal's government has asked for international help, as it still tries to recover from its deadliest fire on record in June. It has declared a state of emergency in territory north of the Tagus river, which is about half of its land mass.

In June, 64 people died in a huge forest fire in central Portugal. [more]

A hidden public health epidemic: The psychological toll of natural disasters
https://www.sott.net/article/364622-A-hidden-public-health-epidemic-The-psychological-toll-of-natural-disasters

Long after a big hurricane blows through, its effects hammer the mental-health system.

For climate change believers, this year's string of record-breaking Atlantic hurricanes was just a warm-up for what scientists predict will be more frequent extreme weather events in the future.

When an entire city experiences a significant trauma at the same time, as New Orleans did during Katrina and Houston did during Harvey, it can push a lot of people over the edge, said Eric Kramer, another doctor who worked in the Jefferson Parish clinic:

"Some people can rely on their inner strength and resilience to get through it, but others can't."

[taking drugs of any kind doesn't always help and can make it worse in the long run - of course, if there IS NO long run . . .]

Hurricane Katrina killed 1,800 people in 2005, and left behind massive property damage. But public health officials are learning that the longest-lasting damage of severe storms is psychological.

Stranded by Hurricane Maria, Puerto Ricans get creative to survive
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/10/stranded-by-hurricane-maria-puerto.html

When Hurricane Maria swept away the bridge that led in and out of Charco Abajo, a remote village in the mountainous inland of Puerto Rico, Carlos Ocasio and Pablo Perez Medina decided that they could not wait for help to arrive.
When the wind and rain calmed, the welder and the retired handyman climbed off the edge of the bridge and jumped down onto a pile of debris. They crossed the Vivi River, whose waters had risen to their chests, and walked several miles to a hardware store, where they bought a cable, a metal harness and wheels.
They built a pulley that now spans the gap where the bridge once was, and attached a shopping cart, after removing its legs and wheels, which they have been using to transfer food, water and supplies across the divide. Though aid groups began to arrive a week later, the two men, both 60 years old, raised a sign to describe how it felt in Charco Abajo immediately after the storm. It reads “Campamento de los Olvidados,” Spanish for “Camp of the Forgotten.”

More than 100 bridges in Puerto Rico were damaged by Maria and 18 have been closed indefinitely, according to Ivonne Rosario, a spokeswoman for Puerto Rico’s transportation department. An unknown number collapsed during the storm, leaving entire communities like Charco Abajo stranded. [more]

After hitting Ireland and Scotland now Ophelia is just now making landfall on Norway. Here's a nice tool for tracking these storms...

https://www.ventusky.com/?p=58.3;8.6;4&l=wind-950hpa

You have to just figure out how to use it by fooling around with it, but it's not difficult. For Hurricanes and Tropical Storms I click on "Wind Speed" because it makes them easier to see. You'll also see a calendar feature at the bottom which you can use to see where the storm was in the past, and where it is projected to go up to almost a week out.

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill May Be Largest Since 2010 BP Disaster
https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2017-10-16/gulf-of-mexico-oil-spill-may-be-largest-since-2010-bp-disaster

An oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last week may be the largest in the U.S. since the 2010 blowout at BP Plc’s Macondo well that sank the Deepwater Horizon rig.
The Delta House floating production facility about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southeast of Venice, Louisiana, released 7,950 to 9,350 barrels of oil from early Wednesday to Thursday morning, according to closely held operator LLOG Exploration Co. That would make it the largest spill in more than seven years, data from the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement show, even though it’s a fraction of the millions of barrels ejected in the 2010 incident.
