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.

With tensions rising quickly over actions taking place inside Syria, the US began positioning naval assets in the eastern Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, leading Russian military spokesmen to say they believe the US is planning another missile attack upon Syria. Russia directly warned the US not to undertake another attack, making clear Russia would shoot down any missiles and attack any platform which launched them (i.e. ships). [more]

March Insanity: Choose The Delusion

Which brings up my proprietary Central Bank "dot plot". In this March cycle, the ECB and BOJ have already met, so the Fed is last at bat.

[another TODAY!? GEEZ, wtF?! The Feds are there . .]
No the bomber isn't a SXSW "guest". The first bombing was on March 2nd. Whoever he is I don't think he's finished. This is an obvious terror campaign. Oh and the Police Chief is a moron for politely asking a psychopath to "please stop and come in". Sheeesh!
DeleteWhat do you think, Mike? Some disgruntled guy just got back from duty overseas? Person must have military experience, no? Spooky, no matter who it is.
ReplyDeleteHe wants to kill and instill panic and fear. I have no idea why. Could just be a psychopath who enjoys it. No one will know until his identity is discovered.
ReplyDeleteI've got some of the latest news regarding these bombings. Investigators believe the perpetrator may be using trails on the Greenbelts to get in and out of four neighborhoods that he has struck so far. Austin has these Greenbelts all over the town. I've been on many of them.
ReplyDeleteAlso it is being reported that these bombs are very crude, yet of course very dangerous. These type of devices are dangerous to make and set up.especially the three left on porches because they blew up when moved. The police are surprised he hasn't blown himself up yet. But that could also indicate that this person had practiced putting them together enough to be quite proficient.
The one last night had a trip wire running from the device to a For Sale sign. The shrapnel was mostly nails.
Arrgghhh, shrapnel. Guy I knew, stepped on a land mine in Nam. Blew his right leg off and peppered him all up and down with shrapnel, especially his back, which looked like a topographical map with roads with all the scar tissue. He said he couldn't go through the airport without setting off the metal detector and that a few small pieces were so close to organs that the medics just left 'em in. He only lived about 10 more years.
