Event Update For 2017-12-18

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.

2017-12-18 - Gas leak hits Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility, again, in Porter Ranch (California):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20171220-61069-USA
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-aliso-leak-20171218-story.html
http://www.dailynews.com/2017/12/18/fed-up-with-crazy-headaches-this-valley-man-created-an-app-to-track-health-symptoms-near-aliso-canyon/

Quote: "In a community alert, the company said the leak occurred about 4:55 p.m. and didn’t pose any health risks, though it did produce a noticeable odor. But Andrew Krowne, a Northridge resident who developed a cellphone application for those within 18 miles of the facility to report health issues, said 34 people reported symptoms including headaches, nosebleeds, and burning of the eyes and throat."

Note: There's an odor, so this is not just natural gas or methane. If this is sour gas then it contains hydrogen sulfide, which will have an odor and cause those symptoms. If it's clean gas but has had methyl mercaptan added then the CDC says to treat methyl mercaptan as if it were hydrogen sulfide since it's made with hydrogen sulfide and has the same symptoms. It's one of the two or it would be odorless, so either way these people are being hit with poison gas, again...

2017-12-18 - Residents still sickening from hydrogen sulfide from well blowout in Missouri City (Texas):
http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/sugarland/news/article/Missouri-City-Pearland-residents-increasingly-12439638.php

Quote: "Despite assurances from state officials that air emissions from a recent oil well blowout in Fort Bend County pose no danger, residents say fumes from the spill are making them sick. 'Something is going on out here. I can't breathe. I'm coughing all the time and I feel like I'm smothering,' Coca Dawson said. A resident of nearby Quail Glenn subdivision, Dawson babysits her 2-year-old grandson during the week and voiced concerns he was also getting sick."

Quote: "Residents near the site complain of a foul smell that causes headaches, nausea and burning eyes, reportedly caused by Hydrogen Sulfide emissions from the blowout. Students and teachers at Blue Ridge Elementary School, located less than four miles from the site, have also reportedly voiced concerns about the air emission."

Note: Virtually identical symptoms as the people are experiencing in Porter Ranch...

2017-12-18 - Unknown odor evacuates school in Silsbee (Texas):
http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Silsbee-High-cleared-after-unfamiliar-odor-12439412.php

Quote: "Silsbee High School has been cleared and students are returning to class after an 'unfamiliar odor' caused an evacuation. Spokesman Daniel Elizondo said the building was checked by the Silsbee Fire Department and no leaks or other issues were found."

Quote: "Elizondo said the source of the odor is unknown, but it's been determined that isn't hazardous."

Note: You can't determine that a gas isn't hazardous unless you know what it is. You can SAY that you've determined that it isn't hazardous, but that's not the same thing at all...

2017-12-18 - Unknown 'gas odor' hits broad area in and around coastal Cardiff (Britain):

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-42394657

Quote: "The 'strong smell' of gas has been reported in Whitchurch, Cardiff, to Merthyr Tydfil, Nanatgarw and Pontypridd."

Quote: "Hundreds of people have reported a smell of gas across of wide area of south Wales. It seems to be located in Pontypridd and Treforest, Rhondda Cynon Taff, but Wales and West Utilities received more than 700 calls from north Cardiff to Merthyr Tydfil. South Wales fire service said checks at Treforest and Troedyrhiw industrial estates had not revealed anything. Wales and West Utilities said the smell was not from a leak in its network."

Quote: "Our engineers are visiting affected areas, but there are no readings of gas in the air and this smell has not been caused by a leak from our gas network."

Note: Calm down, people, it's not natural gas, it's just poison gas!

Your 9-springs too many comment caused me to bust out loud laughin'!

Hull on a four day tear.

Great explanation regarding the gases people are being subjected to. Lie, lie, lie - i'm sure they aren't revealing the truth due to POLICY and orders from on-high.

Let's see what else is going on.

12 dead as bus carrying American cruise ship passengers crashes in Mexico
https://www.sott.net/article/371810-12-dead-as-bus-carrying-American-cruise-ship-passengers-crashes-in-Mexico

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.

Video from the scene showed the bus toppled over on its side in a bushy ditch off a narrow two-lane highway.

Bodies covered with blankets could be seen in the middle of the roadway.

Texas resident Chris Brawley was on another tour bus headed to the popular Mayan ruins and passed the crash site just minutes after the bus flipped over.

"The bus clearly lost control somehow as there were swerve marks all over the road surface," Brawley said.

Brawley was incredulous as to how the accident could have happened, noting that the road was dry and that he hadn't seen any sign of any other vehicles being involved. [more]

$200bn to reconstruct war-torn Syria: the US and its allies are responsible and should be charged for war crimes
https://www.sott.net/article/371811-200bn-to-reconstruct-war-torn-Syria-the-US-and-its-allies-are-responsible-and-should-be-charged-for-war-crimes

When you view the ruins of Aleppo alone, Syria's second biggest city, plus the carnage across the entire country, from towns, villages, bridges, roads, public utilities, hospitals, schools, and so on, the real figure for reconstruction could be far higher than $200 billion.

Then there is the inestimable cost of human suffering and families decimated. All told, the reparations could amount to trillions of dollars. [more]

Paul Craig Roberts Rages Against Trump's National Security Speech
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/12/paul-craig-roberts-on-trumps-national.html

My conclusion is that Trump has surrendered to the real rulers of America - the powerful interest groups such as the military/security complex, the Israel Lobby, the environmental polluters, Wall Street and the banks “too big to fail.”

America is a country in which despite the hopes flyover America had in Trump, an oligarchy rules.

The American people, regardless of who they elect, have no voice, no input, no representation.

The governments of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush were the last governments that were subject to any accountability. With the Clinton regime the United States entered into the age of tyranny [more]

Ponzi Supernova
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2017/12/ponzi-supernova.html

Most people don't believe that social mood drives markets, which is the only reason it works. Conning the same sheeple over and over again. The most crowded "investment" is now "useless"...

Social Mood is blowing off into the tax cut. Gamblers are chasing from one ponzi bubble to the next, trying to keep the buzz alive. Scammers are recycling the fake narratives hourly to keep the dumb money flowing...

Recall the last time Bitcoin Cash exploded to the upside and Bitcoin (original) imploded back to the 50 day. It was early November when the Segwit2x fork was cancelled. The narrative back then was that Bitcoin original is dead because it can't scale, therefore Bitcoin Cash is the future. Of course, shortly after that pump and dump, Bitcoin Cash imploded and Bitcoin original began its parabolic 300% ascent in four weeks.

A Festival Of Corruption
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2017/12/a-festival-of-corruption.html

"The tax bill the GOP is trying to foist on the country is not only an unfair and deficit-bloating hodgepodge written on the fly. It is also deeply corrupt. Every Republican who votes for this bill will be joining a festival of venality."

This legislation proves that Washington is, indeed, the “swamp” that President Trump described during the campaign. But instead of draining it, he and his partisan allies have jumped right in. Actually, they have polluted it further."

"President Trump’s corporate tax cuts will likely generate enormous deficits, even if the administration’s rosiest economic forecasts come true, setting Republicans up to claim that the time has come to cut Social Security, Medicare, and welfare to reduce the expected $1 trillion deficit, created by those very tax cuts, over the next 10 years."

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has already announced that the GOP plans to cut federal health care and anti-poverty programs because of a deficit that his party is about to balloon. “We’re going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform,” he said on a talk-radio show, “which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit.” [more]

What the GOP isn't telling you about the new tax bill
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/what-the-gop-isnt-telling-you-about-the-new-tax-bill/ar-BBH35mD

It’s only temporary.

Allowing all taxpayers to deduct another $6,000 or more from their tax bills could prove very costly to the government’s budget. To offset the lost revenue the bill makes a series of other changes to the code. It eliminates another perk known as the “personal exemption,” which allows taxpayers to deduct $4,150 for themselves and each qualifying child. Then because eliminating the personal exemption could hurt families, the bill also refines another facet of the code, doubling the child tax credit to $2,000 from $1,000 and dramatically raising the income caps to allow more people to benefit from it.

Even these elaborate tweaks, however, won’t necessarily ensure all middle-class families are better off with the new, larger standard deduction. Low- and middle-income families with many children could still end up worse off, as a result of losing the personal exemption, according to the Tax Policy Center.

The tax cut’s stated goal is to boost the economy — leading to higher incomes and better job opportunities for millions of American workers. [more; yeah, that'll happen . ..]

Bad company: Trump courting Blackwater founder Erik Prince and Oliver North to create his own personal CIA
https://www.sott.net/article/371868-Bad-company-Trump-courting-Blackwater-founder-Erik-Prince-and-Oliver-North-to-create-his-own-personal-CIA

President Donald Trump is courting bad company. He's talking with Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater, ex-CIA officer John R. Maguire, and Iran-Contra figure Oliver North in a bid to create his own private version of the Central Intelligence Agency. A proposal has been submitted to the current CIA boss, Mike Pompeo, The Week reported on December 5.

It's part of an effort to circumvent current and former members of the intelligence community that are working to undermine the president.

If Donald Trump's plan for a fully privatized, unaccountable, and personalized version of the CIA becomes a reality, it will represent a grand stroke in an ominous trend that has unfolded since 9/11-the for-profit outsourcing of intelligence, surveillance, and covert military operations.

As of 2015, five corporations dominated the military and intelligence contractor business-Leidos, Booz Allen, CSRA, SAIC, and CACI. Other players include Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, BAE, and Accenture, as well as smaller companies, including ManTech International Corporation, Engility Corporation, L-3 Communications, and PAE.
