Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2017-10-16

Event Update For 2017-10-16

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.

Puerto Rico - a form of cruel mockery

Sick Puerto Ricans suffer as naval hospital ship sits mostly empty—nobody knows how to get to it
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/10/puerto-rico-form-of-cruel-mockery.html

Only about 13 percent of the USNS Comfort's hospital beds are being utilized.

The US Comfort hospital ship was deployed much later than it should have been but even though it's been in Puerto Rico about two weeks now, it's only at 13 percent capacity (33 of 250 beds being used).

Unfortunately, that's just the tip of the iceberg for the challenges facing the U.S. territory. The AP reports that people are bathing in contaminated water and some are even drinking from contaminated streams. [more]

As a realist, I must include the "mad scientist" as a feedback loop manipulating the extinction narrative.http://reason.com/reasontv/2017/10/18/diy-biohackers-editing-genes-garages
Whether it's public, private, military, or just some Joe in a basement, it's a loop I've contemplated since falling down the rabbit hole.

Hurricane Ophelia: Ireland recovers from worst storm on record that killed three
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/10/hurricane-ophelia-ireland-recovers-from.html

Three people are dead and hundreds of thousands still without power following Storm Ophelia; the worst storm in recorded history on the island of Ireland.

The storm force winds cleared Ireland's coast by midnight, but people were warned to remain cautious in the aftermath of the extreme weather. A second day of disruption was expected in Scotland and North East England due to fallen trees blocking rail lines.

Fallen trees blocking roads and downed power lines are some of the likely hazards on Tuesday as the country begins to return to normal following a day when the island of Ireland went into lockdown.

Violent winds of more than 96mph (156kph) in places caused widespread damage to electricity networks, uprooting trees and damaging properties.

Two men and a woman were killed in separate incidents in the Republic of Ireland. […]

The storm has caused major disruption to power supplies and 330,000 homes and businesses were still without power on Monday night. [more]

[man, don' bring da shit he'!]

Most of the cases in the current outbreak are the pneumonic plague, a more virulent form that spreads through coughing, sneezing, or spitting and is almost always fatal if untreated.
In some cases, it can kill within 24 hours.
Like the bubonic form, it can be treated with common antimicrobials if caught in time. [more]
