Event Update For 2018-12-18





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.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181218092953.htm

Quote: "Salmon are losing their powerful sense of smell because of carbon dioxide being absorbed by the ocean, according to new research. When carbon dioxide in the air is soaked up by a body of water it breaks apart and makes the ocean more acidic. Scientists found that this increased acidity has a significant affect on how salmon process smells and is causing them to get lost on their trips back to their breeding grounds and making them easy prey for predators."

  1. Yes sir - those "medical events" will get ya every time (like Colt 45 Malt Liquor)! Lots of people die this way, but you won't see it in the headlines of the msm. Those toxic gases that smell like sulphur "may" have something to do with it, but the authorities can't seem to grasp the concept (or they're being told NOT to).

    We're not even on the coast, yet PA has JJFH incidents almost daily.
    The same is occurring all over the place, yet the OBVIOUS atmospheric connection escapes most everyone. Thanks to Jonny, we're not as clueless as the rest of the sheeple.

    Environmental collapse, economic forces and the prospect of WWIII vie for "which will cause the collapse of civilization?" Today, War got a big boost. The global economy is tanking and environmental destruction continues ramping up. Here's some news:

    A reporter who was awarded CNN’s “Journalist of the Year” prize has resigned from his job and admitted to writing fake news for several years because he felt “pressure.”

    “I am sick and I need to get help,” Claas Relotius said after resigning from his job. In his confession, he explained, “It was fear of failing,” that made him falsify the news for liberal outlets. “My pressure to not be able to fail got ever bigger the more successful I became.”

    According to Der Spiegel, Relotius, an employee, “made up stories and invented protagonists” in many of his articles in order to push liberal talking points, demonize conservatives, and reinforce the globalist world view.

    Relotius, who was awarded CNN’s highest prize for journalism in 2014, was exposed as a long-term writer of fake news after another reporter raised suspicions about a popular anti-Trump story he wrote recently about the US-Mexican border. [more]

    Full and rapid withdrawal of US troops from Syria planned

    It is worthwhile listening to Turner's speculation on the sudden changes that have led to today's developments and it has to do with Israel and the US Jewish lobby,

    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/12/full-and-rapid-withdrawal-of-us-troops.html

    Planning is underway for a ‘full and rapid’ withdrawal of US troops from Syria, decision made by President Trump, according to a US defense official.

    In an abrupt reversal, the U.S. military is preparing to withdraw its forces from northeastern Syria, people familiar with the matter said Wednesday, a move THEY SAY, throws the American strategy in the Middle East into turmoil. [more; "strategery" - former Pres. Bush]

    U.S. President Donald Trump overrode his top national security aides, blindsided U.S. ground commanders, and stunned lawmakers and allies with his order for U.S. troops to leave Syria, a decision that upends American policy in the Middle East.

    The result, said current and former officials and people briefed on the decision, will empower Russia and Iran and leave unfinished the goal of erasing the risk that Islamic State, or ISIS, which has lost all but a sliver territory, could rebuild.

    Ukraine Attacking Donetsk with Mortar Fire!
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/12/ukraine-is-attacking-donetsk.html [source: Hal Turner]

    Donestsk and Luhansk are provinces (Oblasts) in Ukraine. When the US and NATO funded and fomented the violent overthrow of the duly elected Ukrainian president, Victor Yanukovich, and installed a puppet regime favorable to NATO, Donestsk and Luhansk "broke away" from Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

    Since that time, the puppet regime in Kiev has been trying to force Donestsk and Luhansk back under control. Armed conflict began and, since about 2015, the best that Kiev could accomplish was fighting to a stalemate.

    Things are heating-up now, and it appears that Kiev intends to launch a MASSIVE military operation to force the issue.

    Russia has previously warned that any massive attack against civilians in Donetsk and Luhansk would be a provocation for Russia. It seems that Kiev is bent on escalating things.

    Turchynov Calls For New Kerch Strait Provocation With NATO Support
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/12/turchynovcalls-for-new-kerch-strait.html

    The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksandr Turchynov, said that Ukraine plans to carry out a new passage of ships through the Kerch Strait with the involvement of international partners.

    “This is, for us, fundamental. If we stop and retreat, Russia will actually fulfill its task of seizing the Sea of ​​Azov, presenting to the world certain new sea borders in the Black Sea, de facto legalizing the occupation of the Crimea,” he said in an interview with BBC Ukraine.

    The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council stressed that this issue should not be delayed. [more; contains other articles like this one]

    RUSSIA: The next passage of Ukrainian ships through the Kerch Strait, announced by Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Secretary Alexander Turchinov earlier, will be considered as a new irresponsible provocation''-Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

    "This is just an announcement of a new provocation, which has the same provocative nature," the diplomat said. "It is absolutely irresponsible. It is only meant to make the situation worse."

    UKRAINE GOES "FULL RETARD"
    Secretary of National Security Defense Council of Ukraine Turchynov: "New Ukrainian missiles allow our military to de-block Azov Sea and destroy the [Kerch] bridge."

    (HT Analysis: In this one sentence, the government of Ukraine just gave Russia an actual reason to utterly smash Ukraine. When he said "destroy the [Kerch] Bridge" he killed his own country. If any single event is recorded in history as to how World War 3 began in Europe, THIS STATEMENT from Ukraine ought to be shown as the reason. Completely retarded. Utterly stupid. [more]

    If the finding holds up, the world may need to prepare for sea level to rise farther and faster than expected: Once the ancient ice sheet collapse got going, some records suggest, ocean waters rose as fast as some 2.5 meters per century. [more]

    Sharks Have Existed More or Less Unchanged For Millions of Years, Until Now
    http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2018/12/15/sharks-have-existed-more-or-less-unchanged-for-millions-of-years-until-now/

    Coastal shark numbers are continuing a 50-year decline, contradicting popular theories of exploding shark populations, according to an analysis of Queensland Shark Control Program data.

    “We were surprised at how rapid these declines were, especially in the early years of the shark control program. We had to use specialist statistical methods to properly estimate the declines, because they occurred so quickly,” says Chris Brown from Griffith’s Australian Rivers Institute. [more]

    Homes shake after mysterious 'cannonball-like' booms in New Gloucester, Maine
    https://www.sott.net/article/403216-Homes-shake-after-mysterious-cannonball-like-booms-in-New-Gloucester-Maine

    A bizarre sound that shook homes in the New Gloucester area had the town buzzing Sunday morning.

    It happened three more times over a three hour period Saturday night, and if you did hear it, you are not alone.

    Doyle also remarked that it was not just New Gloucester that heard the strange sounds and felt the earth rumbling. There were reports out of North Yarmouth, Windham, Casco, Raymond, Gray and within a 30 mile radius.

    "What took place you had lots of eyes, lots of ears outside and no one can pinpoint it right now. It's quite a mystery," said Captain Doyle. [more]

    Rule #1: Never Trust A False Profit
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/12/denialation-problem-that-fixes-itself.html

    Another post on Zerohedge in denial over climate change. I'm starting to like these useful idiots more and more. The best way to sequester carbon is through ignorance. What Donial Trump and his loyal con men represent more than anything is the repudiation of the truth. Only by refuting every aspect of reality can they make this gong show great again. Which is why we've been besieged by a non-stop barrage of lies for two years straight. At this late stage meltdown can only come as a colossal surprise to a cabal of like-minded dunces blowing smoke up each others' asses constantly. This will be a lesson in trusting criminals that they never forget.

    As of today's close, the S&P 500 is down -8% on the year.

    Trump has passed himself off as saviour by stripping working people of their healthcare and sending the money to offshore bank accounts via tax cuts. Who wouldn't believe he's not on the side of the middle class? People who will believe anything and anyone, except the truth. [more]
