Event Update For 2017-12-25





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.

    A 3.9 magnitude earthquake struck East San Jose just hours after a temblor hit elsewhere in Santa Clara County Tuesday night, reports CBS San Francisco.

    The United States Geological Survey says the quake struck at 10:32 p.m.

    The quake was felt throughout the Bay area, all the way in Oakland, San Francisco and Berkeley, the station says.

    This was the second shaker Tuesday night on the Calaveras Fault, with one at 7:19 p.m. registering 3.1 near San Martin, also in Santa Clara County. [more]

    Before Christmas Wikileaks' La[w]yer's office broken into

    WikiLeaks Lawyer's Office Stormed In "Professional Operation"; Assange Then Tweets Video With Seth Rich Hint

    #DeepStateFiles: Wilikeleaks make 65gB of documents available
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/12/deepstatefiles-wilikeleaks-make-65gb-of.html

    Wikileaks reveals truth behind 9/11 in #DeepStateFiles

    More startling revelations from Wikileak’s massive 700 Terabyte #DeepStateFiles have shocked the global balance of power, unraveling decades of covert Deep State actions and unleashing the truth behind the terrorist attacks on September 11th.

    Lead Analyst and Investigator, Dr. Angstrom H. Troubador, was granted first-access to the encrypted torrent of Deep State Files on Christmas Eve, and his team has sacrificed holiday time with their families to pore over the gargantuan treasure trove of top secret information.

    More details about the alleged affair between Hillary Clinton and Osama Bin Laden were found in the Deep State Files, drawing a direct connection to 9/11. According to Dr. Troubador, “The idea of a false flag on the World Trade Center seems to have originated with Hillary Clinton, who told her hesitant ‘lover’ Bin Laden, ‘It’s time to demolish those hideous towers and all the deplorables who work there. It’s not like they vote for me anyway.’ According to the files, Bin Laden didn’t want to do it because he knew it was signing his own death warrant, but Hillary forced him into it. They filmed all the cave scenes that night in a CIA studio and then Hillary sent him back to Pakistan.” [LOTS more]

    The Reverse Trickle Down Fake Wealth Effect

    The Idiocracy believes that printing money is the secret to effortless wealth. But removing it is even better. They will be shocked to learn that neither is true...

    The Fed and ECB are going to unwind Trump's tax cut long before it even takes effect. As usual, the dumb money didn't get the memo...

    And those who place their faith in the Plunge Protection Team are apparently the same ones who also believe in Santa Claus...[more]

    according to scientists who survey the Gulf of Maine annually . .
    Their most recent data show Northern shrimp numbers at a historic low for the 34 years in which they have been counting the crustacean, Pandalus borealis. Egg production is down. Survival rates for larvae are poor.

    Last month, regulators voted to keep the fishery closed again through 2018, the fifth consecutive year without a shrimp harvest.

    Appalling Dickens-style Christmas tour of Los Angele's Skid Row
    https://www.sott.net/article/372332-Appalling-Dickens-style-Christmas-tour-of-Los-Angeles-Skid-Row

    On Christmas Day, 'citizen journalist' Nick Stern decided to take a drive around this neighborhood to see how some of California's least fortunate citizens were spending the holidays. Stern posted his video, just under three minutes long, on Live Leak. It makes for painful viewing. [see video]

    "A homeless crisis of unprecedented proportions is rocking the West Coast, and its victims are being left behind by the very things that mark the region's success: soaring housing costs, rock-bottom vacancy rates and a roaring economy that waits for no one," the Washington Post reported.

    This presents a rather sad testimony to a country that is said to have the world's biggest economy. It also shows that President Trump has his work cut out for him if he truly wants to make 'America Great Again.' [more]

    Fighting climate change with bioenergy may do ‘more harm than good’
    https://news.mongabay.com/2017/12/fighting-climate-change-with-bioenergy-may-do-more-harm-than-good/

    [here's the highlights]
    A new study finds land-use like grazing and managing forests for resource extraction may have released more carbon than previously thought. Its results indicate the world’s terrestrial vegetation is currently sequestering less than half its full carbon-storage potential.

    Of that missing half, the researchers discovered 42 to 47 percent is attributed to land uses that don’t technically change the vegetation cover type. The researchers say that climate change mitigation strategies often focus on reducing intensive land-use like deforestation, with less-intensive uses that don’t change cover type largely overlooked and under-researched.

    One of these less-intensive uses is managing forests for biomass energy production. Many countries are trying to replace fossil fuels with biomass energy in-line with international climate agreements like the Paris Accord.

    The researchers warn that strategies developed under the assumption that producing biomass energy doesn’t come at a carbon cost could harm efforts to fight climate change. They urge that in addition to stopping deforestation, the protection of forest functions, like carbon stocks, should be moved more into focus when it comes to land-use and climate change planning.

  6. Astronaut Mark Kelly: This year has been an unequivocal disaster for the future of the planet
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/12/astronaut-mark-kelly-this-year-has-been.html

    To see our planet as this majestic blue ball floating in the blackness of space is breathtaking. It is truly the most amazing thing I've ever seen. When you see it for the first time it appears perfect. Bright and mostly blue, it's a literal island in our solar system. And make no mistake -- right now, we have no place else to go.
    Too often, we forget that this remarkable and fragile place is our only home, a point that was underscored earlier this month at the largest gathering of Earth scientists in New Orleans. [more]

    https://www.sott.net/article/372397-Ta-Da-Homeland-Security-brings-you-its-multibillion-dollar-comedy-show

    After the 9/11 attacks, Congress and the Bush administration pretended that unlimited federal spending was one of the best ways to thwart terrorist threats. In 2002, Congress created the Homeland Security Department (DHS), sweeping some of the most inept federal agencies, such as the Secret Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), into the new mega-department. Congress also created numerous programs - some run directly by FEMA - to shovel out more than $30 billion in anti-terrorism funding to local and state governments. [more]

Thousands of FAMILIES will be relocated from Sinabung. Meanwhile, a thick rain of ash fell on villages East of the volcano. [more; see video]

    Some alarming news are coming from North Korea every day. These two may be of great interest for you: At least four defectors from North Korea have shown signs of radiation exposure, although researchers could not confirm if they were was related to Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program. Meanwhile, a North Korean soldier who defected to the South in 2017 has been found to have anthrax antibodies in his bloodstream, raising fears the regime could use the disease as a weapon. [more]
