Event Update For 2018-08-03





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.

2018-08-03 - Couple found dead at home in Wichita (Kansas):
http://www.myplainview.com/news/article/2-deaths-in-Wichita-might-be-carbon-monoxide-13126736.php

Quote: "Wichita police say the deaths of two people appear to be related to carbon monoxide poisoning. Emergency crews found two people dead early Thursday in south Wichita. Officer Charley Davidson says police believe the two deaths were carbon monoxide related. Wichita media reported that neighbors reported smelling a strong gas odor at the time the bodies were found."

Note: So if carbon monoxide is what killed them then what was that 'strong gas odor' that neighbors smelled, and why don't they think that THAT might be what killed them? Carbon monoxide, the so-called 'silent killer', is odorless, so it's certain that nobody smelled carbon monoxide. This reminds me of one of the 'ocean outgassing events' that happened on the coast in California, in 2013 in Santa Monica Bay. A 'foul odor' hit Santa Monica and sickened a bunch of people and the authorities blamed a 'naturally occurring methane release' from the ocean. All well and good, except methane is odorless. I don't doubt that there was an outgassing event from the ocean, and I don't doubt that methane was released, but the foul odor was hydrogen sulfide and that's also probably what sickened the people. Ever since that bit of obvious deception from the authorities - blaming a foul odor on an odorless gas - I've always been skeptical when they do the same thing, and 'strong gas odor' and carbon monoxide don't jibe any better than 'foul odor' and methane did. Hydrogen sulfide, which has a 'rotten egg' odor just like the odorant added to otherwise odorless natural gas, might be described by people as a 'strong gas odor' and, being deadly, it might kill a couple of people too...

Quote: "A southeast Fresno man is in critical condition at the hospital Friday, after he fell into a canal. The Fresno County Sheriff's Office said it would be worse if his neighbors weren't there to help. Around 9:30 a.m., Helene Blue called 911 to alert authorities of a man who had fallen into a canal. It happened at the canal by Butler Avenue and De Witt. Blue and her neighbor, Kate Kellenberger, saw the 73-year-old earlier on the path along the canal during their morning walk. When they were walking back, they noticed the man's dog barking at the water. That's when they noticed him face-down in the canal. Authorities don't know what exactly happened, but it's believed he might have had a medical episode."

    “France has a no-win situation. Almost 50% of their fresh water goes to keeping their reactors running. If they cool the reactors, the water is too hot to use for agriculture-- it cooks the topsoil and their crops die. If they don't pour the water on their crops, the crops will wither and die from drought.” [more]

    5-year drought raises questions over Israel's water strategy
    https://www.sfgate.com/news/world/article/5-year-drought-raises-questions-over-Israel-s-13131489.php

    For years, public service announcements warned Israelis to save water: Take shorter showers. Plant resilient gardens. Conserve. Then Israel invested heavily in desalination technology and professed to have solved the problem by tapping into the abundant waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The once ubiquitous conservation warnings vanished.

    Now, a five-year drought is challenging that strategy, as farmers struggle and the country's most important bodies of water shrink. [more]

There was a string of 5 JJFH event days in a row and 2 other strings of 4 days of JJFH incidents in a row in Hull.

    Warren Buffett’s favorite indicator is telling us that stocks are more overvalued right now than they have ever been before in American history. That doesn’t mean that a stock market crash is imminent. In fact, this indicator has been in the “danger zone” for quite some time. But what it does tell us is that stock valuations are more bloated than we have ever seen and that a stock market crash would make perfect sense. [more]
