Event Update For 2019-01-21

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.

2019-01-21 - Unknown rotten egg odor evacuates school in Avon (Indiana):

2019-01-21 - Unknown rotten egg odor hits building in coastal Timaru (New Zealand):
http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/news/110060469/gas-smell-coming-from-central-timaru-building-believed-to-be-caused-by-leaking-sewerage

Quote: "Reports of the smell of gas from a central Timaru building on Monday afternoon believed to be caused by a leaking sewer were proven to be false. Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) spokesman Brent Dunn said they were called to a building on Strathallan St about 1.40pm, after a smell of gas was reported. Fenz initially thought the smell, which was prevalent throughout the central business district, was caused by a leaking sewer. However, the Timaru District Council does not believe this was the cause. Council spokesman Stephen Doran said they found no evidence of a leaking sewer at the site."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is commonly called 'sewer gas'. This building is less than 250 feet from the ocean. Here's a Google Maps link of the area...

Mornin' Jonny, all.

After 3 days, the wind finally dropped off and the temperature has risen around here. Now we're expecting ~ 2" of rain between today and tomorrow, before it gets cold again.

Remember the subprime mortgage mess? $1.2 trillion in risky corporate debt is flashing similar warning signs
https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-corporate-debt-risks-20190120-story.html

Indebted borrowers increasingly take out high-interest, adjustable-rate loans that are packaged into securities and sold to investors eager for a better rate of return.

Everything’s fine while the economy is growing. But when it slows, those borrowers could default, causing problems to cascade through the financial system.

If this all sounds like the subprime housing market in the boom years before the 2008 financial crisis, you’re right. And that’s what increasingly has regulators, lawmakers, ratings agencies and some market watchers worried.

This time, however, the borrowers in this credit bubble aren’t homeowners taking out mortgages. They’re hundreds of U.S. companies with weaker credit ratings, many of them well-known like Uber and Burger King, taking out so-called leveraged loans. [more]

The Day Of Wreckoning
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-day-of-wreckoning.html

Sadly today's erstwhile right knows as little about capitalism as they do about socialism. Because capitalism isn't supposed to include bailouts, money printing, and GDP plundered from grandchildren. What we have today is not "capitalism", it's the dregs of failure left behind by the last incompetent Banana Republican in office.

If this wave count is correct we are about to see a level of rage we've never even contemplated in our lifetimes. [more]

France becomes first country in Europe to ban all five pesticides killing bees
https://www.sott.net/article/405590-France-becomes-first-country-in-Europe-to-ban-all-five-pesticides-killing-bees

France's ban covers all five of the neonic pesticides used by farmers (clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, thiacloprid, and acetamiprid). The ban covers use in agricultural fields as well as inside greenhouses. This move is more comprehensive than the European Union's late 2018 ban of three of the pesticides.1 These bans respond to evidence that pesticides are contributing to "colony collapse disorder," that has seen bee populations decline by 90% in some areas. Bee colonies also battle threats from mites, viruses, and fungi.1 [more]

The football world is in shock after a plane carrying football star Emiliano Sala disappeared en route from France to Wales on Tuesday.

Sala was flying from the French city of Nantes to Cardiff, when the plane lost radar contact off the English Channel island of Guernsey.
