Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2019-04-02

Event Update For 2019-04-02

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.

2019-04-02 - Unknown rotten egg odor blows through coastal Baytown (Texas):
http://baytownsun.com/news/article_007c08da-55bf-11e9-bb7d-4f3fec5fa4fc.html

Quote: "There is something in the air...but what no one seems to know for now. Some Baytown residents complained on Facebook Tuesday morning about a natural gas smell coming from the area around Harlem Elementary School. However, Goose Creek school district officials said they looked into it. 'We sent a maintenance crew out there, and they checked the building. But the smell is coming from the air outside. It is not something in the schools,' said Beth Dombrowa, Goose Creek CISD spokeswoman. The City of Baytown said nothing is going on they know of that could be causing the smell. 'We’ve had no reports of natural gas, and we are not working on anything in the area,' said Natasha Barrett, City of Baytown spokeswoman. The smell is not believed to have anything to do with the KMCO plant fire in Crosby, which happened sometime after reports were made about the odor. CenterPoint Energy was contacted to see what they knew about the smell. 'This morning, we received a call about a potential natural gas smell at Harlem Elementary,' Alejandra Diaz, CenterPoint spokeswoman. 'Our crews responded to the call and determined it was not natural gas related.'"

Note: Paywall, so I quoted most of it. So, an unknown rotten egg odor that wasn't natural gas and which came from outdoors hit Baytown and shortly later a chemical plant exploded and burned in Crosby, which is about 8.5 miles north-northwest as the gas blows from the coast at Baytown. This seems similar to that huge fire on the coast a couple of weeks ago in Deer Park, TX, where hydrogen sulfide was also detected in some homes in that area. No tanks or anything related to hydrogen sulfide burned during that fire, at least not that was reported, so where did that hydrogen sulfide come from? Hydrogen sulfide is explosively flammable, and it's apt to blow in off the coast and cause fires and explosions. There'll be explosively flammable methane too, and both will cause and/or exacerbate fires, but it's the hydrogen sulfide that people will smell, since methane is odorless...

"Mysterious," those events that happen on consecutive days in the same towns or on the same day in locations only miles apart, yet you're the only one picking up on it.

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/economic-slowdown-confirmed-here-are-14-very-alarming-numbers-that-reveal-the-current-state-of-the-economy

The economic numbers just continue to get worse and worse, and at this point it has become exceedingly clear that an economic slowdown is happening. In fact, even the chair of the Federal Reserve is using the term “slowdown” to describe what is taking place. But of course many are still hoping that the U.S. economy can pull out of this slump and avoid the sort of crippling recession that we experienced in 2008. Unfortunately, that may be really tough because the entire global economy is slowing down right now. Our world is more interconnected than ever before, and what happens on one side of the planet is invariably going to affect the other side of the planet. Some parts of the globe are already mired in deep economic problems, and the U.S. appears to be following down the same path.

#1 Continuing jobless claims are rising at the fastest pace in 10 years.

#2 U.S. businesses are adding jobs at the slowest pace in 18 months. [more; i'm sure this won't affect the unemployment #s]

Look for a video by Paul Beckwith on H2S any day now. He told me last week that he is preparing for it and he said in his most recent presentation that he'll be discussing H2S more in a separate video.

https://watchers.news/2019/04/03/rapidly-deepening-noreaster-off-mid-atlantic-coast-us/

A non-tropical cyclone/nor'easter offshore South Carolina / North Carolina has rapidly deepened, with central pressure down 20 hPa in just 9 hours. Hurricane-force winds have been near its center since 18:00 UTC, April 2. Radar-derived winds aloft have been close to 185 km/h (115 mph). The low pressure system is expected to develop further overnight as it moves offshore the Eastern Seaboard.

This impressive cyclone off the East Coast will bypass the Northeast while heading to the Canadian Maritimes, NWS said. Residents should expect some hazards for the Northeast quad of the country; locally heavy precipitation, gusty winds and an elevated fire weather threat. [more]

Maduro: 'Electrical power coup is in full swing' - Appoints new energy staff
https://www.sott.net/article/410477-Maduro-Electrical-power-coup-is-in-full-swing-Appoints-new-energy-staff

The Venezuelan president said that the authorities continue working for the protection and stabilization of electricity and potable water services.

The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, denounced on Monday that "an electrical power coup is in full swing", which purpose is to plunge the country into destabilization by taking the electricity and water services from the population.

"When we already had the country connected and we were going to proceed with a cargo management plan, there was a coup via the electromagnetic route to the transmission lines," the president said after explaining the latest attacks on the National Electric System (SEN).

"Those who are behind this plan, those who take away electricity and then call for violence, they know, they know how to fish in troubled waters and then take over political power. They will not return!" He said. [more]

American Farmers On Verge Of Disaster
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2019/04/economic-collapse-in-us.html

[this is the 3rd article under this heading; the first two by M. Snyder, i've already posted]

The USDA estimates that net farm incomes plunged 16% year-over-year in 2018 to $63.1 billion, down from more than $120 billion as recently as 2013. Rising operating costs play a prominent role in that shrinkage. According to the All Farms Index tabulated by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, the prices received component fell to 84.9 in January from 95.1 in June, while prices paid registered 109.3 and has remained north of 100 since 2011.

Things are particularly grim in Minnesota and surrounding states. The Minneapolis Fed reports that in-state farmers have seen total input costs for seed, fertilizer, pesticides, fuel and electricity rise by 50% since 2006, after adjusting for CPI-measured inflation. As a result, Minnesota farmers reported real median net income of $26,055 last year, down 8% from 2017 and the lowest figure since the early 1980’s, per an estimate from Dale Nordquist with the University of Minnesota’s Center for Farm Financial Management.

In a new report released on Wednesday, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that countries looking to reset trade imbalances should address their own macroeconomic issues instead of launching barriers to trade.

In what could be viewed as a thinly-veiled challenge to Trump's protectionist policies, the Washington institution's World Economic Outlook report concluded the tariffs could make things worse. [more; DUH!!]

Until just a few days ago we were having highs in the 50s F and lows in the 30s F here in central Texas. Some places even got down to freezing. Today we were in the very high 80s and at least one reporting station got up to 92.

We may have flooding rains on Saturday.

Fun in the end times!!
