Event Update For 2019-04-27
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.

Hey Jonny, everyone reading JJFH - all ready for another "fun" week?
ReplyDeleteAs we see from today's posting - no matter WHAT you do or where you live, YOU BET YOUR LIFE (doing anything)!
Let's say you're driving along, minding your own business. First off, your car can suddenly burst into flame and you become carbeque. Someone coming the other way can suddenly have a "medical event" and veer into your lane and hit you head on; or you could have a a large tree (or branch) suddenly topple or a huge CRANE collapse and hit your car, killing you and all occupants instantly, or YOU could suddenly inhale a breath of (mixed) H2S and die instantly, causing damage and destruction, if not more death.
Ain't life 'FUN' now? Oh, there are a LOT more ways you can die - some new novel disease or a recurrence of an old one, weather related phenomena (flooding, drought, lightning strike, hail, high winds, heat stroke, avalanche, etc.), doing ANYTHING NEAR OR IN WATER (like bathing, brushing your teeth, swimming, fishing, boating, etc.). Your home can suddenly explode! Nyah-ah-ahhh!

The Secretary of the Navy Lied to Congress
https://washingtonsblog.com/2019/04/the-secretary-of-the-navy-lied-to-congress.html
Read this Military.com article from Friday: “Do U.S. High Schools Bar Military Recruiters? Activists Try to Call Pentagon’s Bluff.” It discusses the offer that Pat Elder and I made to award funding to any school that could be identified as one of the over 1,100 public high schools that the Secretary of the Navy told Congress in December bar military recruiters. The article states:
“Addressing members of the Senate Armed Services Committee in December, Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer described an ‘excess of 1,100 schools and districts that deny access to uniform members to recruit on campuses,’ mainly in the northeast and northwestern United States, he said. And Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Ronald Green in January said there are ‘just some places where we are not allowed to recruit.'”
If you watch the video of Spencer’s statement, you’ll note that one Congress Member sounded initially surprised by the bizarre claim, but Senator Joni Ernst jumped in to act as if she was totally familiar with it. And that was the end of the reaction from the House Armed Services Committee, the Senate Armed Services Committee, and — as far as I have been able to learn — any of the committees’ members. None of them later asked to see a list of the 1,100 schools or even an example of one. None of them inquired whether all of those schools should simply be allowed to violate the hyper-militaristic laws of the United States which actually forbid giving military recruiters less access than is given to college or job recruiters. Not a single member of Congress or the media, as far as I’ve been able to determine, so much as raised the possibility that Spencer’s list of recruitment-free schools was as real as had been Senator McCarthy’s list of communists in the government.
Now “Pentagon public affairs officer Jessica Maxwell” has told Military.com that not a single school in the United States is barring recruiters. And Jessica Maxwell has not claimed that this situation was different in January or December. She has not produced a list of 1,100 high schools that were barring recruiters in December. She has not produced the name of a single such school. But she has, very typically, muddied the waters enough to suggest that it’s possible that she might be implying that the Secretary of the Navy and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps were somehow telling the truth.

'We are losing everything': Rising floodwaters hit Mozambique after Cyclone Kenneth

This was the first time in recorded history that the southern African nation has been hit by two cyclones in one season, again raising concerns about climate change. ['concerns?' this is SURVIVAL!]
More than 35,000 homes in parts of Mozambique's northernmost Cabo Delgado were partially or fully destroyed by the storm.
Images shared by OCHA showed rows of wooden houses, separated by sandy paths, that had been almost completely flattened. Only a few structures and the occasional coconut tree were left standing.

French farmers sue state over mysterious deaths of hundreds of cows linked to EMFs and wind farms
ReplyDeleteA group of French cattle farmers is suing the state over the mysterious death of hundreds of cows, which they believe are the victims of harmful electromagnetic fields.
Local vets are at a loss to explain the deaths.
Stéphane Le Béchec, 51, a Breton farmer in Allneuc, has lost 200 cows who died of unknown causes in the past three years and is closing his business.
https://www.sott.net/article/412036-French-farmers-sue-state-over-mysterious-deaths-of-hundreds-of-cows-linked-to-EMFs-and-wind-farms
He has identified several potentially harmful sources, including a transformer, mobile transmission towers and wind farms whose electric currents he says blight his land. "I noted that the voltmetre reacted strongly when I stuck it in the ground or in water," he told Le Parisien.' [5G anyone?]
Several recent scientific studies in other countries suggest that dairy cows are sensitive to earth currents, which can have negative health effects on them.
Last year, an analysis of 97 studies by the EU-funded review body EKLIPSE concluded that electromagnetic radiation from power lines, wi-fi, phone masts and broadcast transmitters poses a 'credible' threat to wildlife - in particular to insect and bird orientation and plant health. [more]

Oklahoma man tumor-free after a drug for DOGS cured him of cancer
https://www.sott.net/article/412032-Oklahoma-man-tumor-free-after-a-drug-for-DOGS-cured-him-of-cancer
In January 2017, Joe Tippens was certain that he would die of small cell lung cancer.
But then a veterinarian suggested he try something unconventional, to say the least: a drug for dogs.
The medication, fenbendazole, is an anti-worm compound used to treat hookworms, roundworms and other gut parasites in animals, primarily dogs.
His new dosage of dog pills cost just $5 a week. His insurance company had spent '$1.2 million on me with traditional means,' he said.
According to a study published in Nature, the drug compound essentially starves cancer cells and kills them. [more]

New results from the Hubble Space Telescope have deepened one of the biggest mysteries in astronomy
ReplyDeletehttp://strangesounds.org/2019/04/hubble-measurements-universe-expansion-mystery.html
Hubble measurements confirm there’s something weird about how the universe is expanding.
The rate of the expansion, called the Hubble constant, is the subject of an important discrepancy: Its value changes based how scientists try to measure it. New results from the Hubble Space Telescope have now “raised the discrepancy beyond a plausible level of chance,” according to a paper set to be published in the Astrophysical Journal.

Most of the time, the Atacama desert — the driest non-polar place on Earth, sandwiched between two mountain ranges in western Chile — is gritty, cracked, and red. The desert gets less than 1.5 centimeters of rain per year, the equivalent of six or so hours of drizzle. Sometimes it doesn’t get any at all. But this year… It’s different [more; see pretty pics!]
Wealthy Elitists Freak Out As Hordes Of Homeless People Take Over Their Neighborhoods All Over The West Coast
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/wealthy-elitists-freak-out-as-hordes-of-homeless-people-take-over-their-neighborhoods-all-over-the-west-coast
[realizing the zombie hordes - is US!]
The elite are very “tolerant” of the homeless until they start showing up in their own neighborhoods. Even though the mainstream media keeps telling us that the U.S. economy is “booming”, the number of Americans living on the streets continues to grow very rapidly, and this is particularly true in our major west coast cities. More than half a million Americans will sleep on the streets of our cities tonight, and they need help, care and shelter. Sadly, as economic conditions deteriorate that number is likely to double or even triple. Of course many among the elite are all in favor of doing something for the homeless, as long as they don’t have to be anywhere around them. [more]

Abject denial: the NZ Minister of Health knows more than 240 scientists
Health Minister David Clark dismisses 5G radiation exposure warnings

The Health Minister has dismissed concerns raised by 230 scientists around the world that 5G radiation could pose a significant health risk.
The group of scientists, including one from New Zealand and eight from Australia, have expressed "serious concerns" about increasing exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) when 5G technology is rolled out.
5G, or fifth generation, is the next step in mobile internet connectivity, set to launch commercially in some countries in 2020. While it will offer faster speeds and more reliable connections, it will also require more antennas, thus increasing exposure to radiation.
"Introducing electromagnetic energy that has the potential to interfere with such delicate, electrical structures (molecules and cellular structures) should be approached with caution," New Zealand science lobbyist Bruce Rapley said.
The group of scientists is concerned nobody will be able to avoid being exposed to wireless radiation once 5G is introduced, because it's estimated 5G-transmitters will need to be placed every 10 to 12 houses in urban areas.
"Based upon peer-reviewed, published research, we have serious concerns regarding the ubiquitous and increasing exposure to EMF generated by electric and wireless devices," the scientists' appeal to the United Nations and World Health Organization says.
The scientists said the effects include cancer risk, an increase in genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being.
When asked if the Government has taken these concerns into consideration, Health Minister Dr David Clark told Newshub Ministry of Health officials don't believe there is anything to be concerned about. [more]
