Event Update For 2017-12-28





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: "But a huntswoman, whose voice was caught on camera by the group declared: 'If I was going to die, I’d like to die like that. Going out doing what I loved. Hunting and then have a heart attack. Marvellous.'"

Note: She might just drop dead like that. Or she might burn to death, or get paralyzed for what remains of her life in a traffic accident, or go insane and stab herself. There are lotsa possibilities! And I don't know that the HORSE died doing what it loved. Anybody ask it if it loved hunting? It died doing what SHE loves...

2017-12-28 - Passenger plane hit by unusual smell, plane makes emergency landing in coastal George Town (Cayman Islands):
http://www.caymancompass.com/2017/12/29/plane-requests-landing-due-to-strange-smell/

Quote: "The customers and crew of a Cayman Airways plane experienced a whiff of uncertainty Wednesday, when an inbound flight from Chicago requested an 'expedited landing' due to an unusual smell. Flight KX505, which flew from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, landed at Owen Roberts International at 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday. Ground emergency services were activated in Cayman by the Air Traffic Control in preparation for the landing, but the flight came in for an uneventful landing. Cayman Airways released an official statement Friday that said the flight crew aboard Flight KX505 detected an unidentifiable odor as the plane was descending through 8,000 feet. That caused them to request an expedited, or priority, landing, and the ground crews were assembled as a precautionary measure."

  1. Good morning everyone. Sorry I didn't get back to post more yesterday. Everything just blurred together after my chauffer job. Next thing I knew, I was drinking (our) home-made wine with my brother (at the home of his youngest daughter and her husband's farm house an hour north of my home). They have a 1.5 y.o. 140 lb. loveable Great Dane (who rests his big head on the table to see what we're doing and busies himself playing with what look like mastodon bones). Fun time. Snowing this morning here at home.

    The only scientific study that has yet been done on the question of whether the U.S. is, in fact, run by a democratic government, or instead by a dictatorial one (specifically by an oligarchy, or a government that represents only the richest citizens), was published in September 2014, and it found clearly that the U.S. is definitely not a democracy, but the other type: that "the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy", whereas "economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy"; and, furthermore, that, "The real-world impact of elites upon public policy may be still greater" than their statistics indicate, because the researchers weren't able to measure the impact that the super-rich have on policy, but only the impact that the rich have on policy (versus the impact that the total American public have on policy). The rich control America's Government, but whether the richest do, wasn't able to be researched, as of 2014. [more]

    A response for people using record cold U.S. weather to refute global warming – “Even as climate warms, we will always have winter”

    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/12/2017-is-record-breaker-for-climate.html

    As this year comes to a close, 2017 is on track to set the all-time record for the most billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in any single year in US history.

    There were 15 in the first nine months (equal to all of 2011, which set the record) and the final count, due early next year from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will no doubt include at least some of the hurricanes and wildfires that have happened since September.

    Remarkably, the five costliest billion-dollar disaster years -- 2004, 2005, 2008, 2011, and 2012 -- have all occurred in the past 15 years. This trend matches what climate scientists have warned: Climate change makes disasters worse. [more]

    Rewriting life: These are not your father's GMOs
    https://www.sott.net/article/372656-Rewriting-life-These-are-not-your-fathers-GMOs

    A new wave of gene-edited crops are dodging regulators, and they're about to reach stores.

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture has concluded that the new plants are not "regulated articles." The reason is a legal loophole: its regulations apply only to GMOs constructed using plant pathogens like bacteria, or their DNA. That means Calyxt can commercialize its beans without going through the process of permits, inspections, and safety tests required for other genetically modified crops. It's counting on that to cut at least half the 13 years and $130 million that companies have, on average, invested in order to create a new GMO and get it into farmers' hands.

    To GMO opponents, the new, unregulated plants are a source of alarm. For years, they have argued that GMOs should be opposed because they might be unsafe. What if they cause allergies or poison butterflies? Now the battle lines are shifting because companies like Calyxt can create plants without DNA from a different species in them. They can argue that gene editing is merely "accelerated breeding technology." [more]

    New culprit is killing the world's bees
    https://www.sott.net/article/372651-New-culprit-is-killing-the-worlds-bees

    Scientists have found what they believe to be the strongest factor leading to the worryingly steep decline of bumblebees... fungicides.

    The discovery has now been added to the growing list of threats that could potentially lead to the extinction of the essential pollinators. The revelation that common fungicides are having the strongest impact on the insects came as a surprise, as they typically affect mold and mildew, but appear to be killing bees by making them more susceptible to the nosema parasite or by exacerbating the toxicity of other pesticides.
