Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2019-01-25

Event Update For 2019-01-25

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.

2019-01-25 - Unknown sulfur odor sickening people in Moncks Corner (South Carolina):
http://www.live5news.com/2019/01/26/berkeley-county-working-control-landfill-odor-making-residents-sick/
http://www.berkeleyind.com/news/berkeley-county-broadening-scope-to-identify-odor-in-moncks-corner/article_d18f59ea-20cc-11e9-a9f1-c38d081de410.html

Quote: "Berkeley County has now responded to concerns people have of a mysterious odor in Moncks Corner. Berkeley County Water and Sanitation says they’re working closely with South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) to find the solution to an odor coming from an area close to the Berkeley County landfill located on Highway 52. The county first believed the odor issues were caused by increased rainfall at the landfill, which produced moisture and resulted in the release of Hydrogen Sulfide gas. Now the county is broadening their scopes to try and identify where the smell is coming from."

Quote: "Residents are describing it as a 'burning sulfur' type of smell that is making them sick. Gary Weston lives right behind the landfill on Oakley Road and says the smell has been around for two years but has progressively gotten worse over the past few months. 'People are getting sick, and someone needs to do something about it. I don’t think there’s nearly enough being done,' Weston said."

Quote: "On Friday, Berkeley County sent out a news release about the odor and said they have been monitoring the landfill for Hydrogen Sulfide, but the meters have come up at zero."

Note: Maybe they're not measuring hydrogen sulfide at the landfill because it's not coming from the landfill. This area is not far from the coast...

2019-01-25 - Water pollution plant spewing rotten egg odor in Marion (Iowa):

http://www.kcrg.com/content/news/Smelling-something-like-rotten-eggs-Heres-why-504866912.html

Quote: "A citywide odor is being reported in Marion. City officials tell us the ‘rotten egg’ smell could be confused for a gas leak. The source of the citywide odor is believed to be the water pollution plant at 7525 Bertram Road. The Marion Fire Department say they want the public to be aware of this issue and emphasize the outdoor odor is not a concern."

Note: Probably just some deadly hydrogen sulfide, so why would anyone be concerned?!

2019-01-25 - Unknown rotten egg odor causes evacuations in Garland (Texas):

Hey, not so fast with Trump's "caving in" - he's playing 11 dimensional chess and has other plans that the Dems haven't even dreamed of . .. (yeah, right).

Good morning Jonny, everyone reading JJFH. Weather finally calmed down around here - no precipitation, no wind to speak of, sun's out and it's just below freezing (so not too bad) outside. Here's what's coming.

Polar Vortex is coming and will bring bone crunching cold to the US and Canada with temperatures colder than the Arctic circle by Tuesday
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2019/01/poplar-vortex-is-coming-and-will-bring.html

While Australia broils at temperatures reaching just shy of 50 deg C (122 deg F) the U.S. and Canada are about to be hit with lowest temperatures for many years as the mercury is set to drop to temperatures colder than the Arctic circle in and around the Great Lakes.

The Chicago area can expect temperatures of -44 deg C (-49 deg F) and with the wind chill factor, it will feel even colder.
According to AccuWeather, while the midwestern United States has been dealing with bitter cold, an even harsher and more dangerous stretch of cold is expected in the final days of January as the polar vortex plunges south. [more]

What A Fool Believes
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2019/01/global-synchronized-implosion.html

Brain dead zombies are seeking consensus from other brain dead zombies, and finding it. Too many central bank bailouts have convinced gamblers there is no such thing as risk anymore...

So far, this scenario is eerily deja vu of late 2015/2016: The Fed raised rates in December (2015 and 2018), both times the wheels came off the bus immediately thereafter, the Fed whispered sweet nothings, and by February it was off to the races.

Here is where it gets different:

Difference #1: Mass complacency

The second major difference is that notwithstanding Friday's exuberance, the Fed has yet to determine how and when to curtail balance sheet rolloff.

The third major difference is the fact that rates are much higher today than in 2016, which means that money markets are yielding more than the S&P 500

The fourth major difference is that we are further along in the Ponzi cycle, which is why credit markets are not responding to the nascent happy talk.

In summary, you have to be brain dead to believe that now is deja vu of 2016. [more]
