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.

http://www.caranddriver.com/news/a27469407/us-postal-service-trucks-fire/
Quote: "Currently, USPS doesn't list any reports of fatalities stemming from the fires, and only one report of injury where a mail carrier burned one hand. Still, 120 fires in five years is a lot of damaged property -- both the government's and private citizens' personal mail -- and those numbers have mail carriers rightfully concerned."
Quote: "More than 120 fires have occurred in the past five years, including 12 in the first four months of this year. News and social media photos show the trucks burning intensely, often inches away from trees, cars and, in one case, a gasoline pump in Connecticut. The incidents of mail trucks fires are on pace this year to double the number that occurred last year."
Note: So the number of mail trucks bursting into flame is escalating. And they aren't even counting any of the tractor trailers hauling mail that have burst into flame...

ReplyDeleteMany of these news items are indicators. For example, the U.S. postal service is all over the country. For them to be regularly bursting into flame MEANS that the concentration of flammable and explosive CH4 and H2S is enough to ignite them (and many other vehicles; not to mention making many drivers have "medical emergencies"). All the people "drowning" in pools, lakes, rivers, streams and ponds (and more!) SHOWS that the concentration of killer H2S is now pervasive in that medium. So we have air and water - MOST of the stuff on Earth - is now so toxic that it's causing widespread problems to civilization and all life on the planet. We don't even have to discuss the land pollution problem - which is everywhere now. Pollution is so vast that we're drowning in it.

Tropical forests ’empty’ as illegal hunting slashes large mammal populations, study warns
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2019/05/14/tropical-forests-empty-as-illegal-hunting-slashes-large-mammal-populations-study-warns/
Illegal hunting is causing catastrophic declines in mammal populations living in the world’s remaining tropical forests, a new study has warned.
Even the world’s most pristine jungles are having their ecosystems damaged as key species are wiped out by hunters looking to collect valuable horns and bones, an international team of researchers lead by the Radboud University in Holland, found.
Within the tropics, only 20 per cent of remaining habitats are considered intact. [more; and those will also be impacted]

Where Lyme Disease Came From and Why It Eludes Treatment
https://washingtonsblog.com/2019/05/where-lyme-disease-came-from-and-why-it-eludes-treatment.html
A new book called Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons by Kris Newby adds significantly to our understanding of Lyme disease, while oddly seeming to avoid mention of what we already knew.
Newby claims (in 2019) that if a scientist named Willy Burgdorfer had not made a confession in 2013, the secret that Lyme disease came from a biological weapons program would have died with him. Yet, in 2004 Michael Christopher Carroll published a book called Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Germ Laboratory. He appeared on several television shows to discuss the book, including on NBC’s Today Show, where the book was made a Today Show Book Club selection. Lab 257 hit the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list soon after its publication.
Newby’s book reaches the same conclusion as Carroll’s, namely that the most likely source of diseased ticks is Plum Island.

The level of the water in the lake is already high and normally the spillway would have been opened in the past at this time of year. For some reason this has not happened despite the high levels of water and there is some suspicion that something might not be right and this is not being reported, in fact it is being actively hushed up.

Investors May Be Laughing At China’s “People’s War” Now, But Here Is Why They Won’t Be Laughing For Long…
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/investors-may-be-laughing-at-chinas-peoples-war-now-but-here-is-why-they-wont-be-laughing-for-long
Wall Street is still treating this crisis as a temporary trade dispute, but the Chinese see things completely differently. At this point, the narrative in China is that the U.S. has deeply insulted their national honor, and every angry statement from U.S. officials is just digging the knife in a little bit deeper. The Chinese began their retaliation to Trump’s new tariffs with some new tariffs of their own, but they won’t be stopping there. As I stated yesterday, China literally has hundreds of different ways that they can hurt us, and the longer this crisis goes the more likely it is that they will utilize all of those weapons. [more]

ClintWestwood · 12 minutes ago
Much out of character for turkeys, who are normally shy and bashful, especially the wild type. These look like domesticated turkeys who have escaped from a farmyard. They are probably hungry and have been fed by humans back on the farm. They approach because they want food and they know humans have it.
Chinese researchers unveil LED-activated 'bioglue' that seals gushing wounds within seconds
https://www.sott.net/article/413092-Chinese-researchers-unveil-LED-activated-bioglue-that-seals-gushing-wounds-within-seconds
The new 'bioglue' is activated by UV light, which transforms the serum into a non-toxic hydrogel that can adhere to slippery, blood-stained surfaces while withstanding movement, like the beating of a heart.
The prototype bioglue reportedly contains no harmful chemicals and does not require additional surgical sutures afterwards to prevent the wound from reopening, and is capable of withstanding an impressive 290 mmHg blood pressure - way beyond what doctors and nurses typically deal with. [more]

The "blue light" in LED lighting can damage the eye's retina and disturb natural sleep rhythms, France's government-run health watchdog said this week.
New findings confirm earlier concerns that "exposure to an intense and powerful [LED] light is 'photo-toxic' and can lead to irreversible loss of retinal cells and diminished sharpness of vision," the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) warned in a statement.

Putin to Pompeo: Time to restore US-Russia ties
https://www.sott.net/article/413141-Putin-to-Pompeo-Time-to-restore-US-Russia-ties
Pompeo agreed that there are matters of mutual interest between the US and Russia, where both countries can work together productively.
The Russian president listed security issues, preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction, environmental issues and economic issues such as oil production as some of the areas of mutual interest.
Meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov earlier in the day, Pompeo said that Washington would tolerate no interference by Moscow in the 2020 US presidential election.
Putin also told the top US diplomat that Russia has never interfered in US elections, and that the Mueller probe proved that there were no ties between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Since the 2016 campaign, many US media outlets and the Democrats have accused Trump of being a "Kremlin agent" and Russia of "meddling" in US election, but no concrete evidence of that has ever been offered.

https://www.sott.net/article/413116-Scientists-learn-that-six-in-ten-grieving-people-see-or-hear-dead-loved-ones
A study conducted a couple of years ago added to the mystery, as researchers from the University of Milan found that there is a "very high prevalence" of people who have experience with receiving messages from their deceased loves one, like seeing or hearing them. The study, however, labels these as "post-bereavement hallucinatory experiences," and the researchers don't seem to be open to the idea that these experiences could actually be real.
Through their work, they believe that 30 to 60 percent of people experience this type of thing, or at least widowed subjects.
They published their findings in the Journal of Affective Disorders. [more]
