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.

2019-05-04 - Up to a million species facing extinction as the Sixth Extinction accelerates:
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/un-nature-biodiversity-report-2019-humans-animals-earth-paris-a8899926.html
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/one-million-species-animal-risk-14999259
http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-48059043
Quote: "The future of humanity is under threat from the widespread destruction of the Earth’s plants and animals by people, leading scientists will warn in a dramatic report. Loss of biodiversity threatens the human race just as much as climate change, the experts believe, with up to a million species facing extinction in the world’s sixth mass die-off."
Note: Too late to do anything about it now. These kinds of planetary-scale events accumulate massive amounts of momentum over time and this extinction event has been underway for at least five decades and probably more. Hundreds of feedbacks are in play now, each amplifying itself and the others as everything accelerates toward a Crescendo of Doom. We aren't remotely powerful enough as a species to alter the course of things at this point, even if we had the will to do so, which we don't. The End.

The terrible truth about Alexa: It is made to spy on us
http://strangesounds.org/2019/05/alexa-spy-device-amazon-video.html
This week, I read through a history of everything I’ve said to Alexa, and it felt a little bit like reading an old diary. Until I remembered that the things I’ve told Alexa in private are stored on an Amazon server and have possibly been read by an Amazon employee. This is all to make Alexa better, the company keeps saying. However, to many people, it’s not immediately obvious how humans interacting with your seemingly private voice commands is anything other than surveillance. Alexa, these people say, is a spy hiding in a wiretapping device. [more]

Trade talks with China collapse: “This has all the makings of a complete disaster that could lead the stock market to crater this week”
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/trade-talks-with-china-collapse-this-has-all-the-makings-of-a-complete-disaster-that-could-lead-the-stock-market-to-crater-this-week
Chaos has returned to global financial markets, and it does not appear that there will be an easy fix this time. For the first four months of 2019, the mainstream media told us over and over again that a great deal of progress was being made on a trade deal with China and that negotiations would soon reach a final conclusion, but now it has become clear that those news reports were fake news. For a variety of reasons, the Chinese have been slow playing negotiations all along. Once they got the Trump administration to suspend the implementation of any new tariffs while negotiations were ongoing, the Chinese no longer had any urgency to reach an agreement. In fact, if the Chinese could have run out the clock all the way to the 2020 election, they surely would have done so. They would very much prefer to negotiate with someone else, and I think that President Trump has finally figured out that he was being played. On Sunday, in a very angry two part tweet Trump announced that he is going to slap China with huge new tariffs… [more; farmers' facepalm!]

Reform capitalism or face revolution, billionaires are told at Milken Conference

“It’s not whether we should be capitalist or socialist. It’s how do we make sure that capitalism is working the way it has in the past,” said Alan Schwartz, a managing partner at global investment firm Guggenheim Partners, who warned of “class warfare.”
He noted that salaries and wages as a percentage of the economic pie are at a postwar low of 40%, prompting a “throw out the rich” mentality that would require some form of income redistribution to head off. [more; there's no "fix" - the damage is done]
Japan Leads the Way in Child Health: No Compulsory Vaccines. Banned Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) Vaccine
https://www.globalresearch.ca/japan-no-vaccine-mandates-no-mmr-vaccine-healthier-children/5675901
In the United States, many legislators and public health officials are busy trying to make vaccines de facto compulsory—either by removing parental/personal choice given by existing vaccine exemptions or by imposing undue quarantines and fines on those who do not comply with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) vaccine edicts. Officials in California are seeking to override medical opinion about fitness for vaccination, while those in New York are mandating the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine for 6-12-month-old infants for whom its safety and effectiveness “have not been established.”
The U.S. has the very highest infant mortality rate of all industrialized developed countries, with more American children dying at birth and in their first year than in any other comparable nation—and more than half of those who survive develop at least one chronic illness. [more]

Gallup’s Positive and Negative Experience Indexes measure life’s intangibles — feelings and emotions — that traditional economic indicators such as GDP were never intended to capture. Each index provides a real-time snapshot of people’s daily experiences, offering leaders insights into the health of their societies that they cannot gather from economic measures alone.
The 2019 Global Emotions Report presents the results from Gallup’s latest measurements of people’s positive and negative daily experiences based on more than 151,000 interviews with adults in more than 140 countries in 2018. [more; mighty small sample size for > 7B people]

Iran wasn’t ready for these huge floods, but they should get ready for more in the future – “Entire villages were washed away in a matter of minutes”

The rise of surveillance capitalism and big tech utopianism
https://www.sott.net/article/412452-The-rise-of-surveillance-capitalism-and-big-tech-utopianism
Zuboff points out in her brilliant book that all pervasive, stealthy and omnipresent surveillance capitalism has exploited human experience to collect free raw material for translation into behavorial data. The behavorial surplus - our emotions, fears, our voices and our personalities-is then fed into thinking 'machine intelligence', and then reconfigured into predictive products. Products specifically designed to anticipate what you will do today, tomorrow, and next week by means of behavorial modification. But not only does surveillance capitalism predict it also nudges us, influencing our behaviour through personalised and intrusive targeted advertising. [more]

Earlier, the Russian Investigative Committee confirmed the deaths of 13 people, including two children.
"The usual culprit is electronic cables short-circuiting, so this could very well be an electronic fire caused by that," he told RT. Hali added that an electrical fire is one of "the most horrifying" things that a pilot can experience, as it can bring down communications capability.

https://www.sott.net/article/412453-Genetic-sequencing-science-breakthrough-Measles-outbreaks-are-caused-by-the-measles-vaccine
The entire fear mongering campaign surrounding measles outbreaks in the United States centers around a "big lie" that's pushed by vaccine propagandists. All measles outbreaks, they falsely claim, are due solely to unvaccinated children. Thus, the answer to outbreaks is more vaccines, they say.
But a science paper published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, entitled, "Rapid Identification of Measles Virus Vaccine Genotype by Real-Time PCR," has discovered something that vaccine fanatics don't want the public to know. As it turns out, a large number of measles outbreaks are actually "vaccine reactions" from the measles vaccine itself (MMR vaccines). [more]

No probs with flooding in my area. My area is called 'The High Point'. It's not really THAT high (Missouri's pretty flat everywhere), but if *I* flood then two-thirds of Illinois and Missouri will be underwater. In other words, if I flood, there won't be much else on the news!
ReplyDeleteLooks like 2019 is shaping up to be the "Year of the Flood" with all of the torrential rains happening all over the world, especially in North America.
ReplyDeleteWe had some flooding here in central Texas on Friday. All of our lakes are full to over full. The biggest lake has one flood spillway open. And let me give the next seven day forecast here:
Today 40% chance of rain
Tuesday 80%
Wednesday 80%
Thursday 70%
Friday 50%
Saturday 50%
Sunday 40%
There will be some catastrophic flooding in this area this week. Enough to make the property insurance companies say "SHIT!".....again. And enough to make those without insurance to say even more colorful words.

Boeing claims missing safety alarm on crashed 737 MAX was 'not necessary,' FAA didn't need to know
https://www.sott.net/article/412474-Boeing-claims-missing-safety-alarm-on-crashed-737-MAX-was-not-necessary-FAA-didnt-need-to-know
Boeing has claimed that a safety warning light packaged as an optional extra on the 737 MAX 8 was not "necessary for safe operation," even after the light's absence had been blamed for two fatal crashes.
Boeing's 737 MAX 8 has been involved in two deadly crashes in less than six months, killing a combined 346 people. In both cases, investigators have blamed incorrect 'angle of attack' (AOA) sensor data for pitching the planes downwards to their doom. A functioning warning light could have alerted pilots to this malfunction.
While Boeing shipped the aircraft with a light fitted as standard, it would not work unless airlines had opted to buy a separate AOA indicator, the company revealed in a statement on Sunday.
Boeing engineers discovered this problem in 2017, but conducted an internal review and concluded that the dummy alarm "did not adversely impact airplane safety or operation." Only after the crash of Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610 last November did the company issue a bulletin revealing that the light did not work as advertised. [more]
