Event Update For 2018-04-13





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.

2018-04-13 - Rotten egg odor and methane blow in off the ocean in coastal Venice (California):

http://www.smobserved.com/story/2018/04/13/news/gas-leak-in-venice-and-ocean-park-determined-to-be-natural/3413.html

Quote: "The agencies worked to find the source of the odor and later said that upon investigation, the smell was determined to be 'natural' and no gas leak was detected. LAFD officials said meters used to test for gases detected only the presence of methane, believed to be coming from the ocean."

Note: The 'gas smell' had to be hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs, similar to the odorant added to natural gas to give it a smell. That's why people thought this was a gas leak. Obviously the smell wasn't methane, since methane is odorless, though I don't doubt there was ALSO some methane, since both methane and hydrogen sulfide are produced by anaerobic digestion in oxygen-starved areas like the bottom of the ocean, landfills, swamps, etc. Once the ocean burps up a concentrated enough cloud of hydrogen sulfide and it blows over a city like Venice, there are going to be a lot of dead people. Events like this are harbingers of what's to come, warning signs for those capable of seeing them. There are multiple cities along the coast in California that have formed committees to investigate why hydrogen sulfide keeps hitting their cities. More warning signs...

Quote: "The company in charge of Rome's public transport, Atac, has launched an inquiry after another of its buses burst into flames – the seventh such incident this year.

    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/04/why-have-we-done-so-little-to-tackle.html

    A decade ago, the environmental philosopher Timothy Morton invented a new word: hyperobject. It describes something so “massively distributed in time and space relative to humans” that it eludes our understanding. The best example of a hyperobject is climate change. Its scale confounds our perception. It is everywhere—“viscous,” as Morton has it — and yet it is hard to see directly. Its implications are so great that they verge on unthinkable.

    William T. Vollmann’s new book, No Immediate Danger, tussles with the comprehension-defying nature of climate change. It is a 600-page amalgam of scientific history, cultural criticism, mathematical experiments, risk-benefit analyses of energy production and consumption, and diaristic meanderings through radiation-festooned landscapes after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011. The effect is bewildering. [more]

    Crew of NATO frigate demoralised by Russian air force maneuver

    RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT CHASE OFF NATO SHIPS FROM THE COAST OF SYRIA
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/04/crew-of-nato-frigate-demoralised-by.html

    A couple of days ago the President of France Emmanuel macron made a loud public statement about the firmness of the armed forces and readiness to deal with threats. Also heard word about the intentions to launch a missile strike on positions of the Syrian army.

    However, 2 Russian aircraft managed to demoralize the crew of the frigate, who gave the anchor in the Mediterranean sea close to the coast, torn by civil war of the Republic.

    According to the publication "Quest France" "the Russians made a dangerous maneuver", violating the order of combat duty. According to the source, the ship's crew thought about the impending attack therefore failed to "properly serve". [more]

    Sympathy For The Donald
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/04/sympathy-for-donald.html

    Whenever Trump does anything that his base doesn't like, they blame "the Deep State" - this amorphous society of conspiratorial elites who frequently and annoyingly co-opt their beloved sock-puppet-in-chief. When Trump bans Muslims or destroys Obamacare, he gets full credit. But when he blows up the budget with anything except tax cuts, that is the "Deep State" at work.

    Unfortunately, there is no organized Deep State - beyond the fear-driven belief in the now-collapsing status quo. To quote Gore Vidal, in the United States of Amnesia:

    "America's elite don't have to conspire, because they all think alike. The president of General Motors and the president of Chase Manhattan Bank really are not going to disagree much on anything, nor would the editor of the New York Times disagree with them. They were raised to think the same way" [more]

  6. On the story reporting that the major climate boundary in the US has shifted to the east, I totally agree because I've noticed over the past five or so years that tornadoes have become more common in the southeastern states such as Alabama. Tornado alley has expanded. And the tornadoes that often occur in the southeast are big ones too.

    EPA insiders bemoan low point in agency’s history: “The relentless tide of bullshit from Pruitt and his cronies is tough to deal with”
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/04/epa-insiders-bemoan-low-point-in.html

    The week at the Environmental Protection Agency has been a brutal low point in what many staff members refer to as the most difficult year in its near half-century history. An avalanche of allegations of ethical misconduct by the EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, has heaped embarrassment upon a watchdog struggling to adapt to the industry obeisance demanded by the
    Trump administration.

    “This sucks. It sucks big,” said a senior EPA official who asked not to be named. “People are so done with these folks. We wanted and waited for some adults to show up. But the relentless tide of bullshit from Pruitt and his cronies is tough to deal with.” [more]

    If you love atmospheric extremes, but you hate to see people in harm’s way, you couldn’t ask for a more pleasing event than the phenomenal infusion of moisture into the western U.S. from Friday into Saturday. No deaths or serious injuries were reported from the weekend rains, although Yosemite National Park was closed over the weekend as valley roads were inundated by up to 4 feet of water. The storm brought rain to unusually high altitudes for early spring, which led to a slight net loss in snowpack across the Sierra, but the rains also helped push the major reservoirs of central and northern California even closer toward full capacity.

Perhaps because, as the introduction to the first season put it: "There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space, and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone. [more]

  9. As you probably know Art Bell died on Friday. In my book he was one of the greatest natural radio talents of all time. He just had the knack for it.

    Anyway, he may have been a JJFH victim. He was found dead in his home. They don't know why he died. Apparently he had no known chronic condition that can be fatal. So I'm thinking....

  10. Yeah, I saw he had died. I was on the fence about including him, but I'm gonna. Hey, it doesn't cost anything. We'll never know for sure why he died, but when it's one of those 'here today, gone tomorrow' sudden-type deaths like that, you've definitely gotta wonder.

    1. Well it turns out that he had COPD which of course can be fatal.

  11. Art Bell was a long-time smoker and likely died as a result.

    Art Bell Dead: Radio Host Dies, Cause of Death Unclear
    https://heavy.com/news/2018/04/art-bell-dead-cause-of-death-dies-how/

    In February 2016, he wrote, “On top of the trouble with the Stalker we had out here which was bad enough I am fighting a pretty bad case of C.O.P.D. (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) which comes from Smoking for all my life until a couple of Years ago and I still fight it. I will try and do some fill in shows but it is a struggle. Tell your children about Smoking and keep telling them.”

    Even though that was a few years ago, it's not like COPD magically "goes away." There are drugs for it, but the condition severely damages the lungs, so as time goes on, one is ever less likely to recover from an attack.

    The spooky part about his death was that he had allegedly just finished investigating Area 51 with some people. So who knows.

    Art Bell Dead at Age 72—Days After Supporting a Friend’s Plan to Drive Into Area 51
    http://www.cryptogon.com/?p=52652

    Art Bell has been in poor health for decades and he was a heavy smoker, so I can’t say that his death comes as much of a surprise.

    But…

    Just before he died, Art was supporting radio host Heather Wade in her plan to drive into Area 51 as an act of civil disobedience. Initially, I chuckled at this plan, knowing that the camo dudes would simply be waiting at the entrances to detain Wade within seconds of her crossing the line. The fact that Wade’s “Area 51 Invasion” was going to be hyped for weeks in advance led me to believe that it was all just a publicity stunt for her radio show.

    Curiously or not, within days of supporting Wade’s plan, Art Bell died.

    Hmm.

    Art Bell, dead on Friday the 13th, after endorsing a friend’s half cocked plan to drive into Area 51…

    (It’s pretty much perfect, if you ever listed to Art at all over the years.) [more]
