Event Update For 2018-03-21





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.

  1. Good morning everyone (still waiting to hear from Fran and Tom N. - hope you're both doing well). The push for WWIII has ramped up with Trump dismissing McMaster and installing [FUCKING] JOHN BOLTON as national security advisor.

    Just to underscore how serious this move is, there's a Jake Morphonius video explaining it in detail from last evening, posted by Mike D. in the comments section. Here's another aspect to it - note who's paying attention.

    Members from three letter agencies flocking to doomsday camps
    https://www.sott.net/article/380748-Members-from-three-letter-agencies-flocking-to-doomsday-camps

    A building network of backwoods doomsday camps around the country are pulling in members from affluent areas and even Washington national security officials as the threats grow from nuclear war, an EMP or virus attack.

    Called Fortitude Ranch, the outposts promise protection and a year's supply of food for those unable to build their own bunker. What's more, until a crisis strikes, they are being used for prepper training and vacations.

    "We're seeing members from all the three letter agencies," said Fortitude creator Drew Miller, a retired Air Force colonel and intelligence officer, in a reference to the Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

    He called an attack or even a weather-related electromagnetic pulse shutdown of the electric grid "inevitable," and a driving force in his project.

    He said that the camps are nearly as survivable in an attack as the Mt. Weather FEMA site near Virginia's Shenandoah River where several Washington leaders were housed after the 9/11 attacks.

    There have been numerous reports recently warning of EMP, nuclear and viral attacks from Russia, Iran and North Korea.

    "You'd have to be an idiot not to think it will happen," said Miller, author of "Rohan Nation: Reinventing America After the 2020 Collapse."

    On his website, Miller plays up the prepper/vacation angle for members.

    "We are a large survival community that can keep members spread out (virus protection) have sufficient size to deter/defeat marauder attacks and raise crops/livestock." it says. [more]

    [They can't guarantee ANYTHING - once the crop losses start (and they already have) seriously ramping up due to climate change effects, chem-trail spraying and all other man-made pollution, you won't be able to grow SHIT ANYWHERE! The animals they're touting as food sources will die before they can use them. They can't prevent the natural disasters like forest fires, epic flooding, earthquakes, volcanic activity, hurricanes, massive snowstorms or prevent hail and other weather-related damage to crops. The ocean's dying, so there won't be any fish and HUGE amounts of H2S will be billowing over the Earth ANYWAY, due to melting permafrost, etc. Lastly, they can't prevent NOVEL diseases that no one is prepared for(or has even heard of) - flu pandemic, plague, and all the "weaponized" ones that will eventually get out from the bio-weapons labs that will be abandoned and cause widespread death when the grid goes down. Prep all you want, you're only prolonging the inevitable result. There's no prepping for nuclear war. (see ~ 11.5 min. video)]

    Mass stranding of over 150 pilot whales at Hamelin Bay, Western Australia
    https://www.sott.net/article/380752-Mass-stranding-of-over-150-pilot-whales-at-Hamelin-Bay-Western-Australia

    After being alerted by a fisherman early this morning, wildlife officers discovered about 75 short-finned pilot whales already dead, with around 50 still alive but beached on the sand at Hamelin Bay, 10km north of Augusta on the state's southwestern tip.

    But many whales have since died, according to senior marine operations officer for Parks and Wildlife John Edwards. At midday, volunteers and conservation officers were struggling to save 15 whales still swimming in shallow waters by guiding them back out to sea. [more]

    Are Nor’easters and Bombogenesis the New Normal?
    http://strangesounds.org/2018/03/noreasters-bombogenesis-cyclones-new-normal.html

    In the past three weeks three harsh nor’easter storms have battered the northeastern U.S., bringing the total to five for the winter. A sixth may be forming this week, which is highly unusual. Four of the five storms were bombogenesis, a legitimate technical term that means the atmospheric pressure within the nascent storms dropped rapidly and radically, causing them to “blow up” into raging beasts. Scientists have been predicting these very circumstances. And now more data are supporting a once-controversial theory that the warming Arctic is making winter weather more extreme… And for people in those areas, the streak represents a new normal: storms that are nastier and stick around longer than anyone would like!

    Climate science’s official text is outdated. Here’s what it’s missing.
    http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2018/03/22/climate-sciences-official-text-is-outdated-heres-what-its-missing/

    The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the gold-standard [bull-SHIT!] for mainstream climate science. Problem is, the last IPCC report came out way back in 2013. As it turns out, we’ve learned a lot about our climate since then, and most of that new information paints an increasingly urgent picture of the need to slash fossil-fuel emissions as soon as possible.
    The next IPCC report isn’t planned for public release until the fall of 2019.

    Actually, a helluva lot has changed in our understanding of the Earth’s climate system since the 2013 IPCC report. Here are some of the highlights:
    Sea level rise is going to be much worse than we thought.
    Antarctica’s massive ice sheets could collapse much more quickly than we thought.
    Extreme weather is here and can now be linked to climate change in real time.
    Global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius is pretty much locked in.
    We’ve already lost entire ecosystems, most notably coral reefs.
    The climate system is moving much more quickly than we thought, and human action to curb climate change is moving much too slowly. [more; fucking NONSENSE! We continue to make it WORSE]

    Trump Giveth. And Trump Taketh Away.
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/03/approaching-point-of-no-return.html

    The gambling class bought the tax cut and now they're selling the trade war. Unfortunately, there is no one dumb enough to be on the other side of that trade...

    Risk aversion is following the sun. Technical damage is mounting with each passing minute. Global synchronized mega crash is approaching the rubicon.

    What we notice today is that the largest cap stocks are weaker now than they were back in February. What is known as a "negative divergence"

    Cramer correctly frames Trump's trade war in terms of the economy versus the stock market. Because that is the trade-off in the short run. However, like all of today's frat boy pseudo-elites he's not bright enough to understand that a stock market can't exist without an economy. Because that's the trade-off in the long-term.

    He goes on to say that the gambling class are protesting these tariffs by re-pricing their own assets. Lower. He says that unfortunately the erstwhile middle class who lost their jobs to the stock market can't halt this decline because they don't have any money to put into stocks.

Besides aging too quickly for my liking, my wife and I are doing fine, so far. She's much more optimistic and skeptical than I am, but when I explain things she listens (and asks good questions). We're both enjoying what time we have left, except she still works a full time, high pressure job in the corporate sector and I gave up on working my last days away. I have a part time evening job a few days a week and take care of the house, so it works out for us. i'm always available for emergencies (even in my neighborhood).

  9. Snowden describes deep state's influence on US presidents Obama, Trump
    https://www.sott.net/article/380814-Snowden-describes-deep-states-influence-on-US-presidents-Obama-Trump

    In an excerpt from the exclusive interview, Snowden explained how the presidencies of both Obama and Trump are shaped by the Deep State following an illuminating question by journalist Stefania Maurizi.

    Stefania Maurizi: We saw that President Obama, who was an outsider to the US military-intelligence complex, initially wanted to reign in the abuses of agencies like the CIA and the NSA, but in the end he did very little. Now we see a confrontation between president Trump and so-called Deep State, which includes the CIA and the NSA. Can a US president govern in opposition to such powerful entities?

    Edward Snowden: Obama is certainly an instructive case. This is a president who campaigned on a platform of ending warrantless wiretapping in the United States, he said "that's not who we are, that's not what we do," and once he became the president, he expanded the program. He said he was going to close Guantanamo but he kept it open, he said he was going to limit extrajudicial killings and drone strikes that has been so routine in the Bush years. But Obama went on to authorize vastly more drone strikes than Bush. It became an industry.

    As for this idea that there is a Deep State, now the Deep State is not just the intelligence agencies, it is really a way of referring to the career bureaucracy of government. These are officials who sit in powerful positions, who don't leave when presidents do, who watch presidents come and go, they influence policy, they influence presidents and say: this is what we have always done, this is what we must do, and if you don't do this, people will die.
