Event Update For 2018-10-16





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.

    Is The Federal Reserve Trying To Sabotage Trump? Stocks Fall Again As Investors Are Rattled By Fed Comments
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/is-the-federal-reserve-trying-to-sabotage-trump-stocks-fall-again-as-investors-are-rattled-by-fed-comments

So could the Federal Reserve be doing this on purpose in order to sabotage Donald Trump and the Republicans? Nobody is really asking this question, but perhaps we should be. [more]

    https://www.sott.net/article/398582-Northern-Iowa-farmers-crops-covered-in-snow

    Some farmers in northern Iowa are finally getting back into their fields this week. Monday's USDA crop report showed Iowa's soybean harvest at 19-percent, 11 days behind the average. On Tuesday, April Hemmes - who farms near Hampton - said she was still waiting to start harvesting soybeans.

    The harvest was halted this month by heavy rains that turned fields into a muddy mess. Hemmes said her soybeans were coated with two inches heavy, wet snow on Sunday. It's the wettest year she's experienced in 33 years of farming and Hemmes said there's some pod-splitting taking place.

    According to the USDA, the 19-percent soybean harvest is the smallest mid-October harvest percentage for Iowa since records began, and the lowest number among the major soybean producing states. Hemmes said, earlier this year, she was excited about her potential soybean yield.

    Amateur scientists narrowly escape being lava bombed by erupting Indonesian volcano
    https://www.sott.net/article/398506-Amateur-scientists-narrowly-escape-being-lava-bombed-by-erupting-Indonesian-volcano

    A team of amateur volcanologists almost fell foul of Krakatoa's wrath, with huge lava bombs crashing into the ocean just meters from their boat. The incredible scene was captured on video by one brave New Zealander.

    Anak Krakatau or 'The Child of Krakatoa' is a new island that formed in the aftermath of the 1883 eruption in 1927 that eventually broke water in 1930. The island has grown at a rate of roughly five inches per week since the 1950s.

    Anak Krakatau erupted at least 44 times within the space of a week in September, according to Indonesian authorities cited by media. [more]

  3. CDC warns rare polio-like spinal disease spreading across 22 US states
    https://www.sott.net/article/398501-CDC-warns-rare-polio-like-spinal-disease-spreading-across-22-US-states

    US health officials have issued a warning about a rare condition which attacks the nervous system and spinal cord after 62 new cases of the little-known disease were confirmed across 22 states.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) took steps to warn about the symptoms of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) after doctors recorded a jump in cases this year. In 2018, the federal health watchdog confirmed 62 instances of the disease - which causes limb weakness and can paralyse sufferers. The illness has been compared to the polio and West Nile viruses.

    The number is nearly double the amount observed in 2017, when 33 AFM cases were found in the US. In the CDC's health warning the organisation said at least 65 other patients are being assessed after they displayed symptoms of the malady.

    The rare AFM condition mostly presents in children but so far a cause or consistent patient pathogen has alluded doctors. [more]

  4. Nope, no bunker as such. But the front porch is solid concrete and beneath that is a little room, so that's where I'd head if a tornado was bearing down and I had enough advance warning. I built a couple of bunks in there, and some shelves, and I have some food, water, lights, tools, clothes, etc in there, in case the rest of the house gets reduced to rubble and I have to survive long enough to dig out. I don't think the house itself would survive a direct hit by a tornado or any kind of major earthquake, but that little room surrounded by rebar-reinforced concrete might be okay. Not that I'm looking forward to testing it out!

    Scientists Warn World Facing Major Famine, Could "Lead To Severe Shocks To Global Food System"
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/10/scientists-warn-of-major-famine-and.html

    Researchers from Washington State University have published a new report of the Great Drought, the most destructive known drought of the past 800 years - and how it sparked the Global Famine that claimed the lives of 50 million people. The scientists warn that the Earth's current warming climate could spark a similar drought, but even worse.

  6. Arctic ice sets speed limit for major ocean current
    http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2018/10/17/arctic-ice-sets-speed-limit-for-major-ocean-current/

    Scientists at MIT have now identified a key mechanism, which they call the “ice-ocean governor,” that controls how fast the Beaufort Gyre spins and how much fresh water it stores. In a paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters, the researchers report that the Arctic’s ice cover essentially sets a speed limit on the gyre’s spin.
    If global temperatures continue to climb, the researchers expect that the mechanism governing the gyre’s spin will diminish. With no governor to limit its speed, the researchers say the gyre will likely transition into “a new regime” and eventually spill over, like an overflowing bathtub, releasing huge volumes of cold, fresh water into the North Atlantic, which could affect the global climate and ocean circulation. [more; they're still using that old "bathtub" comparison canard]

    Extreme rainfall, potentially deadly floods target Spain, worst sudden drop in temperature in a decade
    https://watchers.news/2018/10/18/extreme-rainfall-deadly-flood-potential-spain-october-2018/

    Extreme weather conditions are expected across the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands from October 18 - 21, 2018. The event follows devastating floods that claimed 13 lives in Mallorca and another 13 in neighboring France over the past couple of days. There is a potential for similar rainfall totals and extremely dangerous weather situation.

    The weather front is expected to arrive on October 18 and continue affecting the region through Sunday, October 21 plunging Spain into the worst 'gota fria' - a Spanish term meaning 'cold drop' that explains a sudden drop in temperature – in a decade. [more]

    [notice these rapid temperature anomalies are happening in many places throughout the Northern Hemisphere (and probably in the Southern too; Mike described one in his area in the SW USA, Jonny has said it happened where he is in the central US and here on the East Coast, we've had the same, just not as extreme as Mike's.]

    China Is The New Subprime
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/10/china-is-new-subprime.html

    I just read this opinion piece saying that China's imminent collapse is great news for Trump, because "we won" the trade war. I suggest that nothing could be further from the truth, which is how this circus operates - as far from the inconvenient truth as they can get. That said, I have to give these economic Darwinists full credit for taking self-destruction all the way to full burial. Good for you...

    Losing is the new "winning"

    How did the U.S. right-wing switch from being devout Free Traders to zero sum Mercantilists literally overnight? From Comparative Advantage to Competitive Advantage. I'm not even talking about Trump, I'm talking about Larry Kudlow and the other Goldman Sachs Supply Siders in Trump's cabinet. Their "malleability" aka. lack of conviction is staggering. Which is all well and good except they seem to be under the delusion that the world itself changed overnight as well. Which is the height of fantasy. It was literally only 2015 when China's minor devaluation imploded global markets.

    Now China stands at the precipice of a full blown meltdown, and that will be good for global markets? What crack are they smoking? [more]
