Event Update For 2018-03-07





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.

2018-03-07 - People meet to discuss recurring instances of hydrogen sulfide blowing through coastal Goleta (California):
http://www.noozhawk.com/article/goleta_residents_seek_solutions_noxious_rotten_egg_odors
http://www.cityofgoleta.org/home/showdocument?id=17080

Quote: "About 50 people jammed Goleta City Hall on Wednesday night in search of solutions to one of the city’s foulest problems: noxious odors that smell like rotten eggs. Every so often, Goleta residents, mostly in the western part of the city, smell the stinky odor of hydrogen sulfide. It reminds people of rotten eggs and can permeate the air for miles. And unlike a mysterious fog that one can see looming over the city like a scene out of a 1950s B-movie, hydrogen sulfide is invisible and no one quite knows when it is going to be present, or for how long it will stay."

Note: Having meetings (Goleta) or forming investigative committees (Huntington Beach) isn't going to solve the problem. The problem is that both cities are on the downwind edge of the landfill formerly known as the Pacific Ocean. They're not gonna be solving that problem...

2018-03-07 - Unknown gas odor blows through Pasadena (Texas):
http://abc13.com/cause-of-natural-gas-odor-in-pasadena-unknown/3186876/

Quote: "If you live on the west side of Pasadena, you might have noticed an odor in the air. City officials said they have received multiple calls from people reporting the smell of natural gas. The Pasadena Office of Emergency Management and Pasadena Fire Department said they are investigating, but have not determined the source of the odor."

2018-03-07 - Passenger plane hit by smoke, plane lands safely in coastal Accra (Ghana):

http://enews.shafaqna.com/EN/AL/3665750

Quote: "The airline’s spokesperson, Adebanji Ola, said the captain briefed the passengers when the incident occurred. 'Arik Air flight W3 304 from Lagos to Accra on March 6, 2018 declared an emergency in line with standard operating procedures, when unknown source of smoke was detected in the cabin 81 miles from Accra,' the statement said. 'The captain of the flight briefed the passengers accordingly, assuring them that the aircraft was under control and safe for landing in Accra.'"

Note: This is the 26th aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2018...

Quote: "The fire took off quickly and created an intense amount of heat, spreading to nearby buildings. One additional structure was lost while six nearby buildings sustained some type of damage, according to Pixley. Additionally, crews extinguished six rooftop fires that were sparked by wayward embers. Ash was spotted as far away as the 16th Street Mall. Pixley said 40 vehicles, parked in alleyways and surrounding parking lots, were damaged or destroyed in the fire. The intense heat took its toll on construction and firefighting equipment, too. Three fire engines and several construction vehicles were damaged."

  1. Good morning all. Great Skully and Molder panel today!

    Hull continues burning with another 3 JJFH events while 5 garbage trucks burn elsewhere on this day.

    And now we have bicycles burning (India), a motorized pig and yet another building under construction in flames. No surprise that a truck full of human waste exploding (with all the methane THAT would produce, it's just STUPID to transport it that way).

    These reports get more "interesting" (in the Chinese curse sense) every day, Jonny!

    These invasive ticks can appear in such numbers that they drain cattle of their blood — and they've now been found in the US for the first time

    New Jersey residents know they need to look out for ticks. The state has one of the highest concentrations of Lyme disease in the country.

    But one recent finding could lead Garden State residents to keep an even closer eye out for the bloodsuckers than normal.

    Somehow, an east Asian tick that has the ability to essentially clone itself and is a noted invasive species in other parts of the world made its way to Hunterdon County.

    And it wasn't just an isolated tick. There were more than 1,000 found in the western area of New Jersey. [more]

  2. The Big Drowning: More of the San Francisco Bay Area will sink underwater in 2100 than previously thought
    http://strangesounds.org/2018/03/big-drowning-san-francisco-bay-area-will-sink-underwater-in-2100-than-previously-thought.html

    There is not only an elevated risk of large earthquakes in the San Francisco area. Nope! The ground around San Francisco Bay is sinking and is set to meet the rising sea in about 80 years. Now, a new scientific study adds up to this already growing fear of drowning, reporting that this land subsidence will increase the potential reach and damage of flooding in the Bay Area, submerging a larger portion of the region by the year 2100 than previously estimated. Yes, Bay Area residents you should start to worry about your home and protect your next generations from the Big Drowning. [more]

    Globalization Is Going Out of Business
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/03/globalization-is-going-out-of-business.html

    What Globalization represents is overinvestment in collapse. The recycling of excess capital into excess capacity. Of course, we could have learned that lesson in 2014 via the crude oil market, but instead, yield-starved gamblers recapitalized the shale industry, because they preferred return on capital over return of capital...

    I just noticed that the S&P 500 is tracking oil 1:1 now. Oil is carving out its fourth lower high since late January and now sits on the seven month trendline

    The discovery of dark DNA is so recent that we are still trying to work out how widespread it is and whether it benefits those species that possess it. However, its very existence raises some fundamental questions about genetics and evolution. We may need to look again at how adaptation occurs at the molecular level. Controversially, dark DNA might even be a driving force of evolution. [more]

    Goldilocks And No Bears
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/03/risk-off-is-not-option.html

    There can be no wage growth, because Supply Side economics is the preference for return on capital over return on labour. Which means that at any sign of wage inflation, interest rates rise stamping out "reflation". It's a Faustian Bargain terminating at Third World status.

    But don't take my word for it:
    "As far as investors are concerned, the key point is that most Fed policymakers still seem pretty confident that inflation pressures won't follow too far behind wage pressures, as businesses pass along a portion of their higher wage bills..That's why an interest-rate scare is looking possible, even if a legitimate inflation scare doesn't materialize.

    This week, Kroger, Dollar Tree, and Ross Stores all said they're raising wages for employees, and their stocks sold off amid worries about profit margins."

    Got that?
    "We must raise interest rates to protect the jobless consumer from the damaging effects of higher wages"

    Clearly, the U.S. has gone full retard, a function of having too many global multinationals domiciled in the U.S., conflating their own interests with that of the country. [more]
