Event Update For 2019-01-31





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.

Quote: "Antarctica is not in a good place. In the space of only decades, the continent has lost trillions of tonnes of ice at alarming rates we can't keep up with, even in places we once thought were safe. Now, a stunning new void has been revealed amidst this massive vanishing act, and it's a big one: a gigantic cavity growing under West Antarctica that scientists say covers two-thirds the footprint of Manhattan and stands almost 300 metres (984 ft) tall."

Quote: "Researchers say the cavity would once have been large enough to hold some 14 billion tonnes of ice. Even more disturbing, the researchers say it lost most of this ice volume over the last three years alone."

    The development of large cold water pools south and east of Greenland (Rahmstorf et al. 2015⁽¹⁵⁾) and at the fringe of West Antarctica (Figures 1 and 5) signify early stages in the development of a stadial, consistent with the decline in the Atlantic Meridional Ocean Circulation (AMOC) (Figure 4).

    The problem for US authorities, and indeed for US society as a whole, is that this non-answer leaves a gaping wound in public awareness, emboldens the perpetrators and their patrons, and increases the likelihood of such crimes happening again.

    [oh, uh . . . guess not...]

    The tanks were deliberately targeted not to attack the US government per se, but to draw attention to an important US military-intelligence facility and thereby leave a 'signature' in the form of a message to officials and investigators who may be wavering: 'play ball with the lone gunman cover-up and do NOT say or do anything that exposes us'.

    Exciting news from France: Marine le Pen is the country's new president. After the Macron regime plunged the country into political crisis, Mrs Le Pen took the oath of office on Place de la Concorde on Friday before a small crowd of gilets jaunes (yellow vests) specially assembled - with the TV cameras - for the occasion.

    Proclaiming that she was acting according to Article 7 of the Constitution of the 5th Republic, Mrs Le Pen announced that Emmanuel Macron is no longer in office. To be sure, the government and civil service, the police and the armed forces all continue to operate normally, and Mr Macron continues to work in the Elysée Palace as usual, while Mrs Le Pen is under investigation for financial irregularities. But as she has received official recognition from both Russia and China, she has now become the legitimate president of France.

    Of course, this fictitious scenario is ridiculous. But it is no more ridiculous than the recognition of Juan Guaido as president of Venezuela, voted by the European Parliament on January 31, one week after the recognition of him by US President Donald Trump. [more]

    Yale Researchers continue to promote vaccines after discovering a correlation between vaccinations and mental illness
    https://www.sott.net/article/406302-Yale-Researchers-continue-to-promote-vaccines-after-discovering-a-correlation-between-vaccinations-and-mental-illness

    In 2017, a team of researchers from the University College of Medicine, Pennsylvania, and the Yale University School Of Medicine, Connecticut, headed by Douglas L. Leslie, published a paper on the Frontiers in Psychiatry website, titled Temporal Association of Certain Neuropsychiatric Disorders Following Vaccination of Children and Adolescents: A Pilot Case-Control Study..

    The team hypothesized that there was a correlation between childhood vaccinations and the onset of several neuropsychiatric disorders.

    Despite finding that there was, indeed, a correlation between vaccinations and the onset of mental illness in young children, the team remained careful to continually outline the benefits of vaccinations throughout their paper.

    In fact, they were careful to mention the fact that there was no correlation between the MMR vaccination and autism (ASD), a total of three times, which we found to be somewhat excessive.

    What we found to be even more revealing was the fact that they ended their paper with the following statement:

    Finally, given the modest magnitude of these findings and the clear public health benefits of the timely administration of vaccines in preventing mortality and morbidity in childhood, we encourage families to maintain the currently recommended vaccination schedules while taking all necessary precautions as documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

    However, we found this statement to be in stark contrast with their findings, which made us question why, given their results, they chose to promote vaccinations so heavily.

  5. All righty stat fans, here's the rundown for January, 2019.

    10 garbage trucks burned over 8 days. In 2018 there were only 5 trucks burned over 5 days, but in 2017 there were 11 trucks destroyed over 10 days.

    So the three year running avg. is ~ 9 garbage trucks destroyed by fire in Jan. over ~ 8 days.

    Hull experienced 14 JJFH incidents (usually motored vehicles) over 11 days. In 2018, there were 18 events over 14 days, while during 2017, we had 13 JJFH occurrences over 12 days.

    So the 3 yr running avg for Hull is about 15 JJFH events there in January over about 12 days.

    Let's see how the rest of the year pans out.

    The History of Hemp
    [Hemp History week is June 5 - 11th, if interested]

    Over the years, hemp has played an important role in the development of human societies. It was used to make the 600-year-old Gutenberg Bible, as well as the sails of the English fleet of ships that defeated the Spanish Armada. In fact, at one point, it was illegal for farmers in England not to grow hemp.

    In fact, the first American home made of hemp-based materials was completed in August 2010 in Asheville, North Carolina. [more]

    Public enemy number 1 is... bread
    https://www.sott.net/article/406354-Public-enemy-number-1-is-bread

    An American organisation dedicated to "real foods" called Fooducate recently analysed the ingredient lists of over 2,000 breads. Their survey found that the average mix had about 20 ingredients! "Among those you might not expect - or want - to find, is soybean oil or fat. Adding olive oil has a similar effect, but soya bean oil is much, much cheaper. Another is calcium sulfate. Also known as... plaster of paris. Bread companies use it to speed up the fermentation process, to increase shelf life and to make the dough stick less to their machinery. But is it really something you want to eat?

    Then there's the mono and di-glycerides, ethoxylated mono and di-glycerides. These strange-sounding chemicals are added to make the dough blow up bigger (think less of the other ingredients, hence cheaper!). And slithering in alongside is high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Even "real" breads sometimes use a sweetener to improve taste and help the dough rise (because yeast loves sugar). In fact, bread often contains a dash of honey although HFCS is the cheapest sugar, and that is why manufacturers love it more than almost anything else. Maybe there's calcium propionate. Think "fungicide". It is added to the bread to inhibit mould and bacterial growth. Also present is soy lecithin, sometimes accused of upsetting the hormonal balance and confusing the body into putting on weight! [more]
