Event Update For 2018-07-09





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."

  2. Good morning Jonny, Mike D., Fran (yeah, I missed your original comment!), and any other readers (LL & Tom N., eg.)! Lots going on locally in our areas, thanks for reporting what you each experience or catch wind of.

    Long list of residential buildings, lots of them going up 2 at a time now, being destroyed or damaged by fire. One can see where this is heading.

    That bucket truck fire is a new one and, combining it with the tow-truck pulling a suddenly flaming car should give everyone pause to consider how much flammable and toxic gas is permeating the atmosphere, and steadily increasing!

    The magnesium truck fire must have been spectacular!

    The market responds to Trump's trade wars

    "We're In Uncharted Waters" - Stocks, Yuan, Commodities Slump As US-China Trade Wars Re-Escalate

    Republican Senator Jeff Flake has told reporters there will be a Senate vote on Wednesday on a nonbinding measure aimed at limiting President Trump’s power to impose tariffs. Flake says he expects a majority of both Republicans and Democrats to support the bill [more; can't listen to him, he's a flake!]

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

    Without a doubt, something needed to be done about China’s unfair trade practices. The Chinese manipulate currency rates, they impose very high tariffs on U.S. goods, and they have been stealing our intellectual property for decades.

    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]

    As we enter Q2 earnings reporting season, the $200 trillion dollar bet that's on the table right now is that Trump's tax cuts will override the effects of the trade war. 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]

    Are all societies destined to destroy themselves?
    I don't know anything about civilizations on other planets, but here on Earth the answer is a definite yes. Humans live under the sway of their uncontrollable greed. That greed clouds judgment, allowing humans to rationalize all manner of stupid, self-destructive actions. Those of us who survive should prepare themselves for a return to the 17th century. -- RF [or Stone Age]

    Overnight, Trump imposed more tariffs on China which is now imploding, so we're winning. The latest overnight gap was bought with both hands in the U.S., because everyone knows that Netflix is a safe haven from global trade wars [more]
