Event Update For 2019-04-11





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.

    Foreshock For Something Bigger? A Magnitude 4.6 Earthquake Just Struck A Fault Line Off The Coast Of Northern California
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/foreshock-for-something-bigger-a-magnitude-4-6-earthquake-just-struck-a-fault-line-off-the-coast-of-northern-california

    An unusually large earthquake just hit the west coast. According to the USGS, a magnitude 4.6 earthquake that was centered directly on a fault line happened approximately 221 kilometers west of Ferndale, California on Friday. Fortunately it was far enough away from shore that no major damage was caused. But if this was just a foreshock for a larger event that is still to come, then there is definitely reason to be concerned. Scientists tell us that California is way overdue for the “Big One”, and as you will see below, when it finally arrives it could potentially be the worst cataclysm in American history up to this point.

    http://strangesounds.org/2019/04/big-sunspot-b-class-solar-flares-space-weather.html

    The sun’s weakening magnetic field also allows cosmic rays to enter the solar system.

    Finally, the sun dims, especially at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. This, in turn, causes the upper atmosphere to cool and contract. Aerodynamic drag that would normally cause satellites to decay is reduced; space junk accumulates. [more]

    Experts predict a long, deep solar minimum
    https://www.sott.net/article/411064-Experts-predict-a-long-deep-solar-minimum

    If you like solar minimum, good news: It could last for years. That was one of the predictions issued last week by an international panel of experts who gathered at NOAA's annual Space Weather Workshop to forecast the next solar cycle. If the panel is correct, already-low sunspot counts will reach a nadir sometime between July 2019 and Sept 2020, followed by a slow recovery toward a new Solar Maximum in 2023-2026. [more]

    Marijuana may improve women’s enjoyment of sex
    http://strangesounds.org/2019/04/marijuana-sex-cannabis-improvement.html

    About one-third of U.S. women have used marijuana before sex, a small study suggests, and those who do report increased desire and better orgasms. [more]

    The researchers surveyed 373 female patients at an obstetrics and gynecology practice in an academic medical center in Saint Louis, Missouri. Overall, 127 women, or 34 percent, reported using marijuana before sexual activity. [more; did Jonny put the "stud" in this study?!]

  2. Christian faithful take up climate protest – “If God created all that is, what does it mean for us to be destroying it?”

    Cloaked in black and carrying white buckets filled with artificial blood, the group filed in silence to the entrance of London’s Downing Street, behind a troupe of child and teen activists.

    Ringing a bell as they walked, the 45 adults – all participants in Extinction Rebellion, a protest movement seeking rapid action to curb global warming – formed an arc facing the British prime minister’s residence and poured out their buckets, turning the surrounding road into a sea of red.

    The liquid, they said, symbolized “the blood of our children,” on the hands of politicians who have failed to act on climate change and stem its impacts, from worsening floods and droughts to growing poverty and water and food shortages. [more]

    Will Russiagate mastermind John Brennan ever face justice?
    https://www.sott.net/article/411062-Will-Russiagate-mastermind-John-Brennan-ever-face-justice

    Okay, so Brennan says he gathered "information and intelligence that revealed contacts between Russian officials and persons in the Trump campaign."

    What information? What intelligence? What officials? Brennan has never identified anyone and never produced a lick of evidence to back up any of his claims, and yet, his testimony was taken as gospel truth. Why? Why would anyone in their right mind trust anything Brennan has to say? Hasn't Brennan lied to Congress in the past? Didn't the CIA's inspector general find that Brennan's agents "improperly" spied on US Senate staffers"? Hasn't Brennan defended the use of torture and promoted Obama's homicidal drone program? Hasn't Brennan revealed his personal animus and vitriolic hatred for Donald Trump many, many times before. So why would anyone trust what he has to say? It makes no sense. The man has a major credibility problem which is a polite way of saying he's a serial liar. [more; no wonder he headed the CIA - Certified Individual Assholes]

    26 electricity poles in a row collapse on a street in Seattle for no apparent reason
    https://www.sott.net/article/411047-26-electricity-poles-in-a-row-collapse-on-a-street-in-Seattle-for-no-apparent-reason

    The more than two dozen power poles that collapsed near the Museum of Flight on Friday underwent a "full inspection" three years ago, and showed no risks of a mass failure, said Debra Smith, the recently-hired CEO of Seattle City Light.

    City Light doesn't have an explanation yet about why any of the poles suddenly toppled at 4 p.m. Friday, causing a domino effect where not just one but an entire row snapped.

    Why did poles break on the west side of the six-lane road but not the east side? Why would so many topple together? [more]
