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.

Quote: "Dean Batey with Duck River Electric was working to repair a security light on a power line pole outside Manchester when the lift bucket he was in caught fire. 'He basically jumped from the bucket to keep from getting burned up. And we think the jump is what killed him? Yes,' said Smith."
Quote: "Batey fell about 15 feet. Duck River Electric president and CEO Michael Watson said Batey did not make contact with the power lines."
Quote: "For now, investigators simply do not know what sparked the blaze. 'I've never heard of this type of incident. The first fatality ever in the company,' said Watson."

An Absolutely Epic Escalation Of The Trade War Has Us On The Precipice Of A Cataclysmic Global Economic Crisis

But it is very unlikely that anyone is going to “win” this trade war, and in the short-term all it is going to mean is a whole lot of economic and financial pain. [more]

It's the patented "I want my cake and eat it too" strategy in a nutshell. Unfortunately for Generation Madoff, it won't work out that way. Instead it will be a very long overdue lesson in inter-generational exploitation. Made even better by the fact that they don't see it coming... [more]
