Event Update For 2018-01-13





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: "A section of highway connecting Sydney and Melbourne started to melt. Bats fell dead from the trees, struck down by the heat. On the northern Great Barrier Reef, 99% of baby green sea turtles, a species whose sex is determined by temperature, were found to be female. In outer suburban Sydney, the heat hit 47.3C (117F) before a cool change knocked it down - to the relative cool of just 43.6C in a neighbouring suburb the following day. Scenes from a sci-fi novel depicting a scorched future? No, just the first days of 2018 in Australia, where summer is in fierce form."

  1. Good morning, Jonny, Fran, Mike D., Tom N., Long Time Lurker and any other readers of JJFH. From my perspective, it's really nice to have more commenters reporting personal experiences, odd events, musings and comments.

    After reading Jonny's post this morning, one sees that all along the coasts we're having structure fires, people, marine life, animals and birds dying, vehicle accidents and fires, infrastructure damage and fires, strange odors and people going berserk.

    Let's see what this week brings.

    [Remember all those people in Puerto Rico STILL without electricity?]
    US federal agents raid warehouse seizing crucial electric equipment hoarded by Puerto Rico Power Authority
    https://www.sott.net/article/374131-US-federal-agents-raid-warehouse-seizing-crucial-electric-equipment-hoarded-by-Puerto-Rico-Power-Authority

    The path to any economic recovery from Puerto Rico will ultimately run through its ability to rebuild a functional energy grid - a future all too unlikely amid austerity and deregulation. Combined with other kinds of storm damage, the loss of power has fueled a rapid uptick in emigration from the island, as people struggle to attain jobs and basic services; an estimated 300,000 people have moved to Florida alone, a scale of emigration that could further downsize the island's already shrinking tax base. Nieves calls those who've left "energy refugees," for whom "the lack of energy was the last straw."

    "Most of them," he predicts, "will not return." [more]

    Erie in Pennsylvania on pace for snowiest season with 136.5″ of snowfall so far this winter
    https://www.sott.net/article/374119-Erie-in-Pennsylvania-on-pace-for-snowiest-season-with-136-5-of-snowfall-so-far-this-winter

    So far this winter season, the city has received 136.5″ of snowfall...an incredible 88″ more than a normal year.

    The city was clobbered with more than 60″ of snow in a single lake effect snow event in December, prompting a state of emergency for the city. December, by far, was the big player in the seasonal snow, with nearly 121″ in that month alone! [more]

    Ice apocalypse in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Ontario as ice jams break up and flood entire neighborhoods

    Sub-zero temperatures last week didn’t just instantaneously turn boiling water to snow. They also quickly froze rivers, ponds and lakes across the Northeast and Midwest. That’s been followed by a “brief and mildly disgusting warm-up” that’s softened all that ice with temperatures 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit above normal and rain. It’s also melted snow, which has run off into rivers and cracked up ice further. And that, my friends, is a recipe for ice jams. Wild roaming hordes of ice chunks from the size of baseballs to an average New York studio apartment have surged down waterways From New York to Pennsylvania to Ohio to Ontario. When these frozen flash floods met with a bend in the river, a narrow strait, or a bridge, the fast-flowing ice jams have knocked trailers off their foundations, surrounded houses, and flooded basements.

    Researchers study largest underwater eruption in Pacific Ocean
    https://www.sott.net/article/374086-Researchers-study-largest-underwater-eruption-in-Pacific-Ocean

    The first close quarters investigation of what was possibly the largest underwater volcanic eruption in modern history has uncovered a carpet of pumice rocks, some as big as motor vehicles, and unexpected ocean-bed lava flows.

    In a paper published in the journal Science Advances, a research team led by the University of Tasmania in Australia and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in the US report on the use of two autonomous underwater vehicles to explore the aftermath of the eruption of the 2012 Harve volcano, which lies between New Zealand and American Samoa in the southwest Pacific Ocean.

    Evidence of something much bigger: New bee species found thriving in former Arctic nuke site - study
    https://www.sott.net/article/374083-Evidence-of-something-much-bigger-New-bee-species-found-thriving-in-former-Arctic-nuke-site-study

    A species of bee has been discovered that is miraculously capable of surviving in the high arctic region where the Soviet Union once tested nuclear weapons for decades, according to a new study.

    The 'Bombus glacialis' species lives on the archipelago of Novaya Zemlya, which the Soviet Union closed off decades ago to carry out scores of nuclear tests. While previously considered to be a subspecies of the B. polaris - one of the only other arctic bee types in the world - a recent study published in Polar Biology confirmed B. glacialis to be its own species.

    Every year the authorities relentlessly promote the flu shot, but large numbers of people that got the flu shot this year are getting sick anyway.
    Sadly, the flu shot is not likely to protect you from the very powerful strains of the flu that are dominant this flu season. In fact, the experts are telling us that the flu shot was only “around 10 percent” effective during the flu season in Australia this year… [more]

    The waters that rose from the Kennebec River over the weekend and flooded downtown Hallowell and Augusta, Maine were receding by Monday morning. Cars were still underwater Monday morning even as official said the icy flood waters would likely fall below flood stage by early afternoon. The unexpected flood started late Saturday night, after large amounts of rain and snowmelt last week caused large chunks of ice to break free in the river, then form a dam that blocked its flow. At its peak, the Kennebec River in Augusta surged above the 12 foot flood stage, reaching close to 20 feet. By Monday morning, it had receded to 14 feet. [more]

    The Big Long 2018: aka. Down The Trumptopian Shithole
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-big-long-2018.html

    It's sadly fitting that the last emperor would be a real estate con man, with a proven history of running casinos into the ground...

    I'm about halfway through reading "Fire And Fury: Signifying The Trump White House". The key takeaway so far is that the Trump White House is run by and for Goldman Sachs.

    To say that this administration is a farce, is a pathetic understatement. Yet again, big money found its way into the White House, this time via the back door of the Republican Convention. Which happens to also be the front door. Regardless of who "won" the election, we know who won the election. The sock puppet of the day, nominated to stand in front of the teleprompter, can in no way halt the corporate vampire squid that has taken over the United States.

    Conflict of interest is the key lesson that the Idiocracy DIDN'T learn after 2008 with the Goldman Sachs-led bailout.

    Go figure.

    That's the final lesson. [more]
