Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2018-05-21

Event Update For 2018-05-21

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

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.

2018-05-21 - Unknown gas odor evacuates government building in Marshall (Minnesota):
http://www.marshallindependent.com/news/local-news/2018/05/lyon-county-gov-center-evacuated-due-to-mystery-odor/

Quote: "The Lyon County Government Center and Law Enforcement Center were evacuated Monday afternoon after employees smelled an intense bad odor. County employees and law enforcement officers waited outside for around an hour while the Marshall Fire Department, maintenance workers and county officials did a walkthrough of the buildings. However, firefighters were not able to detect gas in the buildings, said Marshall Fire Chief Quentin Brunsvold. 'We don’t know what happened,' Brunsvold said."

Quote: "It’s possible the odor came from outside, he said. 'We had reports of people smelling it outside the building.'"

Quote: "'All three levels (of the Government Center) were giving a smell of gas,' said Stomberg. Stomberg said the odor seemed to reach many parts of the building, including the county administrator’s office on the second floor, all at once. 'It made some of us dizzy.'"

Note: Smelled like rotten eggs, made people dizzy, wasn't picked up by natural gas detectors, came from outdoors - probably just some poison gas blowing by and getting sucked into the building via the HVAC system. Nothing to worry about unless you're one of those don't-wanna-die kind of people in which case the Earth turning into a big gas chamber and randomly gassing people might be of some concern...

2018-05-21 - Unknown gas odor sickens student(s) and close school in Cabell County (West Virginia):

http://wvah.com/news/local/cabell-county-school-officials-say-school-evacuated-for-smell-of-natural-gas
http://www.wsaz.com/content/news/Milton-Middle-School-evacuated-students-sent-home-early-483224191.html

Quote: "Milton Middle School will be dismissing early today because some student became ill after a natural gas smell."

Quote: "No evidence of a natural gas leak was found inside Milton Middle School, despite a strong odor earlier Monday that closed the school earlier and made some students sick. The gas company tested inside and around the building and found no detectable leak. As a result, school will open Tuesday and be closely monitored. Investigators are not certain what caused the smell, which left some students with headaches and upset stomachs."

Note: Rotten egg odor, no trace of natural gas found, people sickened - probably just some poison gas blowing by here too...

2018-05-21 - Unknown stench hits school and sickens dozens of children in Mykolaiv (Ukraine), near river:

http://uaposition.com/112-ua/400-mykolaiv-pupils-were-evacuated-due-to-dispersal-of-gas-with-stench/

Quote: "Currently, 36 children with a previous diagnosis of 'poisoning by an unknown substance' are in the hospital. Parents of one of the children refused hospitalization; two children are in the intensive care of the city hospital."

Quote: "From the full hypothesis: "There will be more unexplained HazMat events, often involving unusual odors. Eventually the entire populations of towns and cities will drop dead."

Firefighters responded about 5:42 a.m. Monday to a parking lot filled with Fiat Chrysler vehicles at Booth Avenue and Counter Street. Crews reported a column of smoke visible for miles. With plastic and petroleum burning, it produced a heavy amount of black smoke, the spokesman said. Pvt. Sterling Rahe said the fire was primarily located in a group of vehicles in the center of the lot. Firefighters quickly maneuvered through other vehicles to extinguish the flames, he said. About 18 to 22 vehicles sustained damage."

Hey everyone! Here we go again, eh?

Here in PA, as you can plainly see by the JJFH count of incidents Jonny's found above, we're having some trouble. But even places as small as Hattiesburg, Mississippi are having multiple (2 on this day) JJFH events.

Hull finally broke out of its slump (of 5 days) with this day's event. Quietest month so far this year for Hull.

Lots of cause for concern cropping up each day. Let's take a look:

"To our knowledge no one has faced this before." Puna Geothermal Venture Plant compromised Monday exposing toxic and flammable gas Hawaii
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2018/05/to-our-knowledge-no-one-has-faced-this.html

Authorities were scrambling to firm up contingency plans Tuesday as lava pouring from Hawaii's erupting Kilauea volcano slowly encroached on a power plant on the Big Island.

The lava flow entered the 800-acre property of the Puna Geothermal Venture Plant on Monday and had stalled at a swale about 300 yards from the nearest underground well.
On Tuesday, the lava was advancing.

"Fissure 6 reactivated last night and has been erupting since around midnight," Hawaii County civil defence officials said in a statement.

"The flows from Fissure 6 are slowly flowing closer to PGV property."

If lava breaches wells, authorities fear it could release hydrogen sulfide, a toxic and flammable gas. [more; H2S!!!]

The Asian country’s energy needs are growing and coal power is a tempting solution.

Osius, who abruptly resigned late last year after three years as the U.S. ambassador to Vietnam, now warns that the Trump administration’s retreat on climate change is encouraging Vietnam to dig in on coal power. Doing so would undermine years of progress in a country that, with 2,026 miles of coastline on its mainland alone, risks becoming a poster child for the effects of rising sea levels.

Drought on tap to intensify over US Southwest
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/05/23/drought-on-tap-to-intensify-over-us-southwest.html

[This isn't new - maybe Fox just "got it"]

Rivers are drying up, popular mountain recreation spots are closing and water restrictions are in full swing as a persistent drought intensifies its grip on pockets of the American Southwest.

Climatologists and other experts are scheduled Wednesday to provide an update on the situation in the Four Corners region — where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah meet.

The area is dealing with exceptional drought — the worst category. That has left farmers, ranchers and water planners bracing for a much different situation than just a year ago when only a fraction of the region was experiencing low levels of dryness. [more]

Medical examiner releases CDC doctor Timothy Cunningham's official cause of death
https://www.yahoo.com/news/medical-examiner-releases-cdc-doctor-194543160.html

The death of a CDC employee whose body was found in an Atlanta river last month has been ruled a suicide by drowning, the Fulton County Medical Examiner announced on Tuesday.

The body of 35-year-old Timothy Cunningham was found by fishermen in the Chattahoochee River on April 3, bringing the long and confounding search for the missing CDC worker to a tragic end. His body was discovered over seven weeks after he disappeared on Feb. 12.

An autopsy at the time confirmed that the body belonged to the missing doctor, though his official cause of death was not released until today.

In Printed Money We Trust
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/05/in-printed-money-we-trust.html

The problem with a tax cut for the ultra-wealthy, is that it benefits those who need it the least at the expense of those who can least afford it. As we didn't learn in 2008, there is no model to bail out the people who really need it. Historically and geographically-illiterate gamblers are going to get trapped in the casino during a global currency crisis...

The 2008 bailout recycled failure into success, thus setting a template for the decade to follow. What we have now are proven idiots constantly looking for ways to increase the wealth of an ever-smaller cadre of billunaire bailout queens, at the expense of everyone else. When Japan failed to export their way to long-term prosperity twenty-eight years ago, that should have served as a warning that the global imbalance of trade is a dead-end. When China copied Japan's export failure, resulting in 2008 collapse, that was the second warning. This Idiocracy is out of warnings. [more]

Massive 18-inch hammerhead worms are invading France
http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/05/23/massive-18-inch-hammerhead-worms-are-invading-france.html

Giant hammerhead flatworms are taking over parts of France, disrupting the ecosystem and causing a concern for researchers.

Measuring more than 1 foot in length and sometimes as much as 18 inches, the flatworms have heads similar to hammerhead sharks. There have been 111 records of the worms since 1999, the study noted, and there are five different species.

The study also notes that two types of flatworm in the Diversibipalium genus — one black, found in France, and an iridescent blue version found on the island of Mayotte — are probably new species. [more]
