Event Update For 2018-01-09





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.

The resulting spill would be about three times as big as the Exxon Valdez spill of 1989, one of the worst environmental disasters in history. It would double what the Prestige oil tanker released when it sank off the coast of Spain in 2002. That accident damaged beaches in France, Spain and Portugal, and led to the closure of one of Spain's richest fishing areas."

http://nationalpost.com/news/world/australian-birds-have-weaponized-fire
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/01/wildfires-birds-animals-australia/

Quote: "The concept of fire-foraging birds is well established. Raptors on at least four continents have been observed for decades on the edge of big flames, waiting out scurrying rodents and reptiles or picking through their barbecued remains. What’s new, at least in the academic literature, is the idea that birds might be intentionally spreading fires themselves. If true, the finding suggests that birds, like humans, have learned to use fire as a tool and as a weapon."

  1. A follow up to the story last week of the 18 year old healthy female found "suspiciously" dead in her bed in Georgetown, TX: An autopsy has revealed that her death was not suspicious. http://kxan.com/2018/01/08/18-year-old-woman-found-dead-in-georgetown-area-home-identified/

    So I think this can be put in the books as a JJFH incident.

    https://www.yahoo.com/gma/missing-upenn-student-found-dead-homicide-suspected-193206941--abc-news-topstories.html

    A University of Pennsylvania student who mysteriously disappeared in California last week has now been found dead -- and his death is being investigated as a homicide, authorities said today.

    The body of 19-year-old Blaze Bernstein was found around 2 p.m. Tuesday in the brush surrounding Borrego Park in Foothill Ranch -- the park where he disappeared a week earlier, the Orange County Sheriff's Department said today. The rainfall in the area helped officials find the body, the sheriff's office said.

    Authorities did not release the cause of death or the condition of the body. [more]

    TEHRAN, Iran — A series of eight earthquakes hit the Iran-Iraq border area and rattled even Baghdad and parts of the Iraqi countryside on Thursday, apparently aftershocks of a temblor in November that killed over 530 people. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

    Seven had a preliminary magnitude of at least 5, while the eighth earthquake was a magnitude 4. Earthquakes of magnitude 5 and up to 5.9 are classified as moderate. [more]

    New York City is suing five of the largest oil companies over the billions of dollars it spends protecting the city from the effects of climate change, and it plans to divest its pension funds' $5 billion in assets involving fossil fuel producers, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday.

    As head of the nation's largest city, de Blasio is throwing significant weight behind a movement by local governments to directly target fossil fuel companies for the role their products play in fueling global warming. [more]

  5. Dropping Florida from Offshore Drilling Opens Legal Cracks in Zinke's Plan
    https://insideclimatenews.org/news/10012018/trump-offshore-oil-drilling-leases-florida-legal-questions-zinke-california-new-york-Oregon

    The extensive Zinke plan, which called for opening more than 90 percent of the Outer Continental Shelf for oil and gas leasing and scheduling 47 lease sales between 2019 and 2024, already was ripe for lawsuits, according to David Hayes, who was the Interior Department's deputy secretary and chief operating officer at points in the Clinton and Obama administrations.

    "This proposal mirrors past proposals that have run into a buzzsaw of state opposition," he said. Zinke may have made things even worse for himself, though. His decision to remove Florida "should have his lawyers cringing," Hayes said. "It smacks of an impulsive, undisciplined, arbitrary process." [more]

  6. Clueless and ignorant lawmaker thinks weed should be illegal because it makes black people crazy
    https://www.sott.net/article/373773-Clueless-and-ignorant-lawmaker-thinks-weed-should-be-illegal-because-it-makes-black-people-crazy

    Proving that ignorance and close-mindedness still reign in politics, during a Saturday Legislative session debating whether or not marijuana should be legalized in Kansas, a state representative made the most asinine, unfounded, and outright racist comment about marijuana to be uttered from a politician's mouth in over a half-century.

    As State Rep. Steve Alford, R-Ulysses, was failing miserably attempting to make his point on why marijuana should remain illegal in the state of Kansas, he began with unfounded and debunked myths before jumping off the racist deep end.

    Remaining entirely ignorant to the massive amount of evidence to the contrary, Alford attempted to paint marijuana as a gateway drug. [more]
