Event Update For 2018-10-19





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.

  1. Oh man, Jonny - if it wasn't obvious before now, JJFH is really in-yer-face now, with proximity of events, side-effects (like burning vehicles, people dropping dead and exploding buildings), wafting gases and MULTIPLE events stacking up more and more every day!

    This day was the biggest yet since I've been keeping track of (formerly RANDOM shit like) garbage truck fires and JJFH events in Hull, Britain happening on the same day: 4 garbage trucks AND 4 Hull events!

    Small plane rolls off runway and onto NY road; no injuries
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/small-plane-rolls-off-runway-and-onto-ny-road-no-injuries/ar-BBOEiBs

    A small plane ended up on a Long Island road after running off a runway Saturday, leaving the aircraft damaged but no one injured, authorities said.

    After taking off from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, pilot Nedie Seidu flew about 40 miles east and tried to land at the small Lufker Airport in East Moriches around 12:30 p.m., the Suffolk County Police Department said.

    But Seidu wasn't able to stop before rolling off the runway onto Montauk Highway, authorities said. [more; pilot error blamed]

    Trump EPA scraps pair of air pollution science panels – “By removing science and scientists, they are making it easier for the administration to set a weaker standard”
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/10/trump-epa-scraps-pair-of-air-pollution.html

    The decision to dissolve the panels is part of a broader effort by the EPA’s leadership to change the way the agency conducts and assesses science. Those efforts include trying to limit what counts as health benefits when crafting air rules and incorporate into rulemaking only studies that make their underlying data public. [more]

    Australia government greenlights luxury camp in Tasmanian world heritage area despite expert advice – “The evidence that the government has ignored its own experts makes a mockery of commitments to meet world heritage obligations”
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/10/australia-government-greenlights-luxury.html

    One of the first acts of the Morrison government was to greenlight a private tourism development with helicopter access in Tasmanian world heritage wilderness against the recommendation of an expert advisory body. [more]

    After Hurricane Michael, “It will be years” before life at Tyndall Air Force base returns to normal
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/10/after-hurricane-michael-it-will-be.html

    Less than six hours after Jillian and her daughters arrived on base, the Arrowood family was packing up to leave, and haven't been back since.

    They are one of hundreds of military families that have been displaced from Tyndall Air Force base as a result of Hurricane Michael. The eye of the Category 4 storm cut straight through the base on Wednesday, 10 October 2018, causing catastrophic destruction. The storm reduced houses to splinters, blew off roofs, and busted open hangars where top-grade aircraft such as F-22 planes were housed.

    Coco-Colas's embarassing blunder in New Zealand

    ‘Hello, death’: Coca-Cola greets New Zealanders in marketing blunder

    [Marketing slogan: Kia Ora, Mate!]
    While in English, the word ‘mate’ is commonly used to refer to friends, it has a very different meaning in Maori. The slogan essentially read, "Greetings, death."

    Online critics have noted the irony of Coca-Cola’s mistake, with one Twitter user claiming that Coca-Cola may have gained some “self-awareness,” and another one commenting “Finally, truth in advertising.” [more; EXACTLY!]

    A suspected “whirlpool” appeared on the water surface of the Qiantang River on the east side of the Fuxing Bridge. At the time of the incident, a large number of dense white bubbles appeared on the surface of the Qiantang River, and there was no smell at the scene. The leakage of subways and gas pipelines has been ruled out, and the cause of the current “whirlpool” is unknown. Well almost!

    $2.5 Billion in Storm Losses, but Don’t Ask Georgia Farmers About Climate Change
    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/19/us/hurricane-michael-cotton-agriculture-climate-change.html

    Weather has always been a worry for farmers, and they have been slower to accept the role of human activity in causing climate change as a group than their counterparts in cities, according to surveys conducted over the last decade.

    But worldview is colliding with world. Many agricultural areas — even ones 90 miles inland, like the Moss farm outside Camilla — are increasingly vulnerable to intensifying storms that scientists, including those with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, have linked to rising sea temperatures. After three consecutive years of bad storms, farmers here are slowly acknowledging what seems to be a fundamental change and, in their own way and their own time, beginning to consider the existential threat that climate change could pose to their precarious way of life.

    “I really wish that Al Gore hadn’t been the messenger, it just turned everybody off,” said Casey M. Cox, 27, who studied forestry and environmental preservation at the University of Florida before returning to help run her family’s 2,400-acre farm here. “It allowed people to say that it was just a liberal thing, when we know it is completely sound science.” [more; wouldn't have mattered - shoot the messenger is the usual reaction from people vested in the current culture]

    "More" is a dead end way of life. Those who still haven't figured out, that compliments of arbitrage, now only alchemy stands between U.S. and Them, are going to "give back" in a way they can't afford. Some things should never be sold. What remains "exceptional" is the willingness to exploit on a scale that no developed country would accept.
