Event Update For 2018-11-28

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.

Looks like we made it through another week, Jonny. Lotta MO incidents in today's post.

Today is the end of November, so an analysis of garbage truck fires and Hull JJFH incidents will be forthcoming.

Let's see what's going on today. We'll start with the economic state of affairs.

3 Things That Happened Just Before The Crisis Of 2008 That Are Happening Again Right Now
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/3-things-that-happened-just-before-the-crisis-of-2008-that-are-happening-again-right-now

Real estate, oil and the employment numbers are all telling us the same thing, and that is really bad news for the U.S. economy. It really does appear that economic activity is starting to slow down significantly, but just like in 2008 those that are running things don’t want to admit the reality of what we are facing. Back then, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke insisted that the U.S. economy was not heading into a recession, and we later learned that a recession had already begun when he made that statement. And as you will see at the end of this article, current Fed Chair Jerome Powell says that he is “very happy” with how the U.S. economy is performing, but he shouldn’t be so thrilled. Signs of trouble are everywhere, and we just got several more pieces of troubling news. [more]

2018: The Year Of The Bong
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/11/denialation-problem-that-fixes-itself.html

First, on the subject of why one should never mix gambling and bong hits, exactly one year ago today on CNBC, Jimmy Altucher predicted that Bitcoin would reach $1 million by 2020. Subsequently, cryptocurrencies have shed $700 billion in market cap.

He top ticked the market. The self- appointed "guru" of crypto currencies turned out to be the Bernie Madoff of crypto.

And of course cannabis stocks had two big rallies this year, both of which coincided with "new highs" in the S&P. What else?

Trump and the Fed are now boxed in by all of their bullshit, and admitting the truth is unfortunately a foreign concept...

Ever seen a house being swallowed by a huge landslide? Here you go!

A huge landslide, most probably related to mining activities in the area, has swallowed up several houses and cut off the main road in Jawa Village, Sanga Sanga District, Indonesia at around 02:00 p.m., on November 29, 2018. The major geological phenomenon is still going on. The ground continues to move and many houses may end like that in the video… just a few meters deeper: [more; see videos & pics]

Catastrophic Australia’s 2,000km wall of fire forces thousands to flee as 140 bushfires tear through Queensland
http://strangesounds.org/2018/11/catastrophic-wildfire-queensland-australia-video-pictures.html

Nearly 10,000 people have been told to flee immediately as more than 140 fast-moving blazes tear through Queensland amid the state’s bushfire crisis. Thousands of people were evacuated from communities in central Queensland after catastrophic fire conditions on Wednesday. About 140 bushfires were burning across an almost 2,000km stretch from Yungaburra, south of Cairns, to Mount French, west of the Gold Coast. QLD fires were been declared ‘catastrophic’, the highest level on the scale. [more]

U.S. life expectancy falls, driven by suicides and drug overdoses – First three-year period of decline since World War I
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/11/us-life-expectancy-falls-driven-by.html

U.S. life expectancy declined in 2017 as more Americans died of drug overdoses and suicides, furthering a troubling trend of declining lifespans not seen in a century, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in a report released Thursday.

Life expectancy was 78.6 years in 2017, down from 78.7 years in 2016, the CDC said.

Life expectancy also declined in 2015 and stayed flat in 2016, making this the first three-year period of general decline since the late 1910s. That decline took place during World War I and a sweeping flu epidemic — and before dozens of medical advances.

The CDC blamed the change on drug overdoses and suicides, which reached new highs in 2017. [more]

More misery for Florida: An alarming number of dolphins a washing ashore along southwest Florida beaches in recent days
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2018/11/more-misery-for-florida-alarming-number.html

More problems for Florida marine life as an alarming number of dead dolphins have washed ashore along southwest Florida beaches, including the Tampa Bay area.

It comes after a summer of unprecedented deaths around the coast of Florida, literally millions of tons of dead marine life due to a toxic algae bloom.

And 2018 has been a record year for dolphin deaths. [more]

Past four years hottest on record, data shows

Global temperatures have continued to rise in the past 10 months, with 2018 expected to be the fourth warmest year on record.

The past four years have been the hottest on record, and the 20 warmest have occurred in the past 22 years.

“Every fraction of a degree of warming makes a difference to human health and access to food and fresh water, to the extinction of animals and plants, to the survival of coral reefs and marine life.” [more]

Fraser islands deforestation Canada’s most urgent rivers issue
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2018/11/27/fraser-islands-deforestation-canadas-most-urgent-rivers-issue/

Deforestation of three islands in the heart of the Fraser River is the most pressing rivers issue in the country for the coming year, according to the Outdoor Recreation Council.

This stretch of river is a spawning site for threatened white sturgeon, a rearing area for chinook salmon and provides habitat for more than two dozen other finfish species.

The largest of the three islands, Herrling is being clear-cut as it transitions from a cottonwood tree farm to field crops by Klaassen Farms, the new owner.

The B.C. Wildlife Federation in August called for stronger habitat protection or the outright purchase of the islands for conservation.

However, an earlier attempt by B.C. Nature (Nature Trust of B.C.) to buy the islands from the previous owner Kruger Paper Products failed after a leadership change at the trust scuttled the deal, said Angelo. [more]

Powerful quakes buckle Alaska roads, trigger tsunami warning

Back-to-back earthquakes measuring 7.0 and 5.7 rocked buildings and shattered roads Friday morning in Anchorage, sending people running into the streets and briefly triggering a warning to residents in Kodiak to flee to higher ground for fear of a tsunami.

The shaking broke store windows, opened cracks in a two-story building downtown, disrupted electrical service and disabled traffic lights, snarling traffic. It also threw a full-grown man out of his bathtub. [cue Little Feat: Fat Man In The Bathtub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkZsSydzQjM]

All flights were halted at the airport after the quake knocked out telephones and forced the evacuation of the control tower, and the 800-mile Alaska oil pipeline was shut down while crews were sent to inspect it for damage. [more]

Snow, cold air may bring a freeze to California, southwestern US by early next week
https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/snow-cold-air-may-bring-a-freeze-to-california-southwestern-us-by-early-next-week/ar-BBQgyDL

A southward dip in the jet stream that allowed a storm to soak areas as far south as Southern California and the deserts prior to the end of this week will dip even farther to the south in the days ahead.
The storm with its rain and mountain snow will push chilly air farther south in its wake. [more]
