Event Update For 2018-06-23




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.

2018-06-23 - Perki Lake spews toxic foul-smelling foam in Kukatpally (India):
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/240618/toxic-foam-chokes-perki-lake-once-again.html

Quote: "Poisonous foam emanated from the Perki Lake early this year and usually engulfs Dharaninagar in Kukatpally in mid-monsoon for the past three years. But this year, after the first strong rainfall on Friday, the locality was awash in foam and a horrible stench. Environmentalists and residents have repeatedly complained about the degradation of the lake, and what happened on Saturday only goes to show the apathy of civic officials."

2018-06-23 - As the world continues warming, the frequency of toxic cyanobacteria blooms is increasing:

Quote: "'When water bodies warm up earlier and stay warmer longer … you increase the number of incidents,' said Wayne Carmichael, a retired Wright State University professor specializing in the organisms. 'That’s just logical, and it’s being borne out.' Technically called cyanobacteria, the ancient class of organisms that create the blooms are present nearly everywhere water is found but thrive in warm, still bodies like lakes and ponds."

http://www.inverse.com/article/46359-lava-balls-latest-problem-facing-hawaii-kilauea-volcano

Quote: "An explosive collapse at the summit of Kilauea Volcano sent a plume of steam nearly 2,000 feet into the air late Saturday afternoon. The collapse, which produced the energy equivalent of a magnitude-5.3 earthquake, followed several hours of increasing earthquake activity in the summit area, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. A similar collapse occurred on Friday evening, also producing roughly the same amount of energy."

  1. The high quality color pics you display are like art work, Jonny.
    One gets the feel of the incident through them. For example, I can almost smell the toxic, sickly looking greenish algae bloom there.

    Don't see many street sweepers burning up often. Lotta planes having trouble on this day and a buncha boats, too. Loads of people dying in water-related conditions now that it's summer.

    Let's see what's up so far today.

    "Mass hysteria" at e-cigarette plant, 20 hospitalized
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mass-hysteria-at-e-cigarette-plant-20-hospitalized/ar-AAz7Brx

    Fire and hazmat crews were still working late Sunday night to determine what sparked a panic and sickened about 30 people at an e-cigarette manufacturer in Salem, Massachusetts. A spokesperson for the state's fire services said a hazmat team was assisting the Salem Fire Department at the Thermal Circuits plant and that 15 people had been taken to local hospital while about 15 others made their way to hospitals themselves. The hazmat crew had entered the building and was trying to determine what caused so many to suffer breathing problems, nausea and possible loss of consciousness. Jennifer Mieth, spokeswoman for Massachusetts fire services, said the crews on the ground "do not believe that this is connected to an earlier chlorine leak in the building as that process was shut down and had not been restarted."

    Firefighters said they did not detect any chlorine in the plant when they came back the second time. An investigation was expected to take place throughout the night and Mieth said more information would be available later Monday morning. [more]

    'The cow': Astronomers puzzled by incredibly bright and fast mystery burst from space
    https://www.sott.net/article/389113-The-cow-Astronomers-puzzled-by-incredibly-bright-and-fast-mystery-burst-from-space

    Something is exploding incredibly quickly in the sky, and astronomers are scrambling to figure out what it is. On 17 June, the twin ATLAS telescopes in Hawaii spotted a bright flash in space that hadn't been there when they'd checked about two days before.

    Most supernovae take a few weeks or even longer to reach their full brightness, but this explosion took days. "It really just appeared out of nowhere," says Kate Maguire at Queen's University Belfast, who is part of the ATLAS team. Its peak brightness was incredibly high, 10 to 100 times brighter than most normal supernovae.

    "There are other objects that have been discovered that are as fast, but the fastness and the brightness, that's quite unusual," says Maguire. "There hasn't really been another object like this." [more]

    The holonomic brain: the holographic nature of consciousness and reality
    https://www.sott.net/article/389110-The-holonomic-brain-the-holographic-nature-of-consciousness-and-reality

    The fact is that consciousness is simply everything that is. The only difference is in the way in which experience is rendered from being to being, thing to thing and part to part. The difference in the consciousness of a rock and that of a "living" being, is that a rock lacks an element called a brain (and the subsequent infrastructure of the senses) to actively respond to phenomena and identify its body as an integrated whole; however, it is conscious nonetheless. Consciousness of this is interdependent on the consciousness of that, and thus the world that is can exist. It is this non-absolute nature of consciousness that breeds the world around it, which illustrates the holographic nature of consciousness itself and thus maintains that the world it is within is an illusion; a fractal hologram.

    Global warming, 30 years later: Told you so

    Thirty years ago James Hansen testified in congress that man-made climate change (a.k.a. global warming) was underway. He forecast that the world would get hotter.

    What happened since? The world got hotter.

    He also forecast that the Arctic would warm even faster. What happened since? The Arctic warmed even faster.[more; says Hanson]

    if one wanted to create a recipe for economic disaster, it would be hard to beat having the Federal Reserve dramatically raise interest rates at the exact same time that the U.S. government is starting trade wars with all of the other major economic powers simultaneously. Unless something drastically changes in the very near future, there is no way that the U.S. is going to be able to get through this without experiencing severe pain. [more]

  4. Summer could trigger major earthquakes in California and other arid regions
    http://strangesounds.org/2018/06/summer-earthquake-aquifer-california.html

    On Aug. 24, 2014, an earthquake ripped through Northern California’s Napa-Sonoma Valley. It was the largest in the San Francisco Bay Area in 25 years, leaving two dead and hundreds injured and causing damage that cost half a billion dollars. When Meredith Kraner, a geophysicist from the University of Nevada, examined seismic recordings from the region around the quake, “we found this really interesting signature in the data,” she told: a telltale pattern of expansion and contraction in the Earth’s crust. Now in a study that describes this finding in the Journal of Geophysical Research, Kraner and her colleagues also explore whether seasonal fluctuations in local aquifers might explain that cycle of expansion and contraction, a phenomenon that could have triggered the earthquake itself.

  8. How the Obama administration created Europe's refugee crisis
    https://www.sott.net/article/389190-How-the-Obama-administration-created-Europes-refugee-crisis

    The US Government itself caused this crisis that Europeans are struggling to deal with. Would the crisis even exist, at all, if the US had not invaded and tried to overthrow (and in some instances actually overthrown) the governments in Libya, Syria, and elsewhere - the places from which these refugees are escaping? The US Government, and a few of its allies in Europe (the ones who actually therefore really do share in some of the authentic blame for this crisis) caused this war and government-overthrow, etc., but Germany's Government wasn't among them, nor were many of the others in Europe. If the US Government had not led these invasions, probably not even France would have participated in any of them. The US Government, alone, is responsible for having caused these refugees. [more]
