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.

US Military invests $100m in 'genetic extinction' technologies, should Russia be concerned?
https://www.sott.net/article/370331-US-Military-invests-100m-in-genetic-extinction-technologies-should-Russia-be-concerned
[Air-plyin' wit' FAHR, rot-dare]
A US military agency is investing $100m in genetic extinction technologies that could wipe out malarial mosquitoes, invasive rodents or other species, emails released under freedom of information rules show.
The documents suggest that the US's secretive Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) has become the world's largest funder of "gene drive" research and will raise tensions ahead of a UN expert committee meeting in Montreal beginning on Tuesday.
"Many countries [will] have concerns when this technology comes from Darpa, a US military science agency," one said.
The technology is capable of splicing DNA strands in order to insert, alter, or remove targeted traits, and "drive" them through a population by ensuring all the offspring of the targeted organism inherit the alteration. Proponents of the gene-editing technology say it can be used to wipe out malaria-spreading mosquitoes, for example. Critics point out that the method could have unforeseen environmental consequences.

'Out of control' Southern California wildfire explodes as growing blazes force 27,000 to flee
https://www.sott.net/article/370325-Out-of-control-Southern-California-wildfire-explodes-as-growing-blazes-force-27000-to-flee
Authorities issued ominous warnings of more dangers to come during a "multiday event" across the area, as weather forecasters said the region faces "extreme fire danger" through at least Thursday due to intense Santa Ana winds and low humidity that could cause the fires to grow rapidly.
The wildfires are the latest grim chapter in a brutal year for California, coming just months after deadly blazes in the state's wine country killed dozens of people and razed thousands of buildings.
What caused the fire remained unknown Tuesday [more]

The fire that burned a path of destruction through Ventura County reached the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday night, with officials expecting that hundreds more homes had been lost in a blaze that continues to rage out of control.
The fire has consumed at least 65,500 acres, pushed by relentless Santa Ana winds that are expected to continue through Thursday.
The focus Wednesday, officials said, was keeping the fire out of the Ojai Valley while assessing the devastation in the cities of Ventura and Santa Paula. [more]

A wildfire that started early Wednesday morning near the Getty Center and Sepulveda Pass has forced the closure of all lanes of the 405 freeway in Los Angeles, one of the busiest highways in the state.
The Skirball fire was reported at 4:50 a.m. and was more than an acre when the first units arrived. Live video from Los Angeles television stations have shown at least two homes with flames on the roofs near Casiano Road. Mandatory evacuations are in effect for the area.
At about 7 a.m. the reported size of the fire was 50 acres, but it may have grown significantly since then. Helicopters, scooping air tankers, and about 220 firefighters were working the fire Wednesday morning. [more]

Comparative Advantage In Exploitation
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2017/12/comparative-advantage-in-exploitation.html
"An economist is someone who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing"
Free Trade and Globalization are human history's greatest failures without any comparison. No policy has/will lead to more environmental and human degradation than these schemes have already wrought. Nevertheless, apologists for failure are ubiquitous. No magnitude of failure is too large for them to paper over with free money, and non-stop bullshit. They've alchemized failure into success for untold human toll.
Where this ends is in mass personal and corporate bankruptcy. Zombies have had eight years to realize the party is over and to get their affairs in order. To them it was just another chance to double down on proven failure, at the behest of serial psychopaths.
The seeds of failure for Globalization lie in the fantasy economic theory of Comparative Advantage - the failed premise that two countries can successfully conduct trade even if one nation has competitive advantage in industry. This was a proven failure in Spain during the 1600s when the British used Mercantilist policies to essentially bankrupt Spain and otherwise free it from its burden of excess gold. All of Asia now practices export Mercantilism with studied precision which has alleviated the U.S. of thousands of factories, millions of jobs, and entire industries. In exchange, receiving cheap junk and trillions in debt. That's the "system". [more]
