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://durangoherald.com/articles/277132
Quote: "Carie Dann with the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority says smoke was reported in the plane’s cabin Wednesday afternoon, and emergency responders found the crashed aircraft about five minutes later near the Northern Colorado Regional Airport. The Loveland Reporter-Herald reports the person who died was the only one onboard."
Quote: "The engine caught fire and forced the pilot(s) to attempt an emergency landing along County Road 30 just north of the airport."
Quote: "Airport officials said the engine caught fire prior to the crash."
Quote: "Several witnesses told investigators they saw the plane on fire while still in the air, and Scott said the next objective for investigators is to figure out what caused the fire. Witnesses told the Coloradoan they saw the plane catch fire in the air, and then spin or flip before crashing, causing a ground fire and a plume of black smoke."
Quote: Crash witness Michael Stahl says he saw what looked like 'a fireball dropping straight down' as he was driving north on nearby Interstate 25."
Note: Planes becoming fireballs and crashing out of the sky - perfectly normal, right?! This is the 62nd aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2019...

Hey Jonny, everyone - here we go again with the atmospheric river phenomenon causing back-to-back-to-back nonseasonal snow and too much rain in CA, which will move through the central states causing more problems for farmers. At this point, we can see HUGE problems on the horizon (and approaching fast): weather related disasters, economic impacts, social disruption, political inaction (or wrong action), health and safety concerns, and more.
ReplyDeleteCommercial drivers spend more time on the road than normal people (because it's their job), so the Fed-Ex guy driving into a pond in Nevada, the double tanker rig (carrying sulfuric acid) crashing off the highway and down an embankment ALSO in Nevada is problematic for several reasons. Drivers losing consciousness, even momentarily when driving one of these massive vehicles can cause a lot of damage from load spillage (and lots of other potential problems), it disrupts the supply chain, and causes injuries or death to the driver
(to mention a few). It ain't gettin' any better either, as conditions continue to deteriorate.

Here Are 15 Numbers That Show How The Global Economy Is Performing, And All Of Them Are Bad
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/here-are-15-numbers-that-show-how-the-global-economy-is-performing-and-all-of-them-are-bad
Global economic activity has already been slowing down dramatically, and the U.S. trade war with China is just going to make things worse. In so many ways, what we are witnessing in 2019 is quite reminiscent of what we witnessed as the last recession was beginning. Global exports are absolutely plummeting, auto sales are way down all over the globe, debt delinquencies are way up, and retailers are closing stores at a record pace. Even if the U.S. and China were getting along, things would be rough for the global economy in the months ahead, but a full-blown trade war between the two largest economies on the entire planet has the potential to be absolutely disastrous. We are truly in uncharted waters, and many believe that events are going to start accelerating very rapidly now. [more]
CAL FIRE confirms — the Camp Fire that destroyed most of Paradise, CA was started by a PG&E powerline
https://wildfiretoday.com/2019/05/16/cal-fire-confirms-the-camp-fire-that-destroyed-most-of-paradise-ca-was-started-by-a-pge-powerline/
It comes as no surprise, but the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has confirmed what was long thought, that equipment on a Pacific Gas and Electric power line started the Camp Fire that burned through Paradise, California. PG&E has been saying for months that it was likely their power line started the fire but CAL FIRE’s investigation now makes it official. This could open the floodgates for numerous civil and possibly criminal cases. [more]

The findings were based on a survey of more than 1,000 adults [way too small of a sample size to draw meaningful conclusions]. The researchers interviewed a nationally representative panel designed to be indicative of the U.S. population. ["designed?"]
The survey provides a sobering look at Americans’ precarious finances even as the economy is improving, jobs are more plentiful and the stock market has — despite this week’s volatility — generally continued its upward trajectory this year. [more; what planet are these people on?]

Downward Mobility Creates “Deplorables”
ReplyDeletehttps://washingtonsblog.com/2019/05/downward-mobility-creates-deplorables.html
What the conventional narrative purposefully ignores is the potential for downward mobility, in which one bad decision or investment triggers a drop in economic class and future financial prospects. I’ve been writing for years about the diminishing number of slots in America’s upper middle class, and the realities of diminishing social mobility has been documented by research.
Are your economic-financial prospects brightening or diminishing? Put another way: are you more likely to experience downward mobility (the reality for most in the bottom 90% and even many in the top 10%) or the conventionally expected upward mobility?
Those who recognize their precarious hold on their current economic class and the increasing risks of downward mobility are the infamous “deplorables”, those who are voting for non-mainstream candidates left and right, voting for national interests over globalization and so on. [more]

'I'd rather starve to death': Chelsea Manning sent back to jail AGAIN, for refusing to testify against WikiLeaks
https://www.sott.net/article/413235-I-d-rather-starve-to-death-Chelsea-Manning-sent-back-to-jail-AGAIN-for-refusing-to-testify-against-WikiLeaks
This time, Manning faces a fine of $500 a day if she continues to refuse cooperation after 30 days in jail. The fine will go up to $1,000 a day after two months.
"I have never heard of jailing a witness for this long," former FBI agent and whistleblower Colleen Rowley told RT. If the grand jury term goes on for 18 months, the fines could exceed half a million dollars, she added, calling it "draconian."
Rowley added that the jailing of Manning is either illegal retaliation by the Trump administration, "or the case against Julian Assange is just that weak that they absolutely need Chelsea Manning's testimony in order to firm up these specious charges." [more]

Did Israel Kill the Kennedys?
https://www.sott.net/article/413239-Did-Israel-Kill-the-Kennedys
Did the CIA assassinate Kennedy? [more]
So, at all stages of the plot, we find a Zionist cabal including business men, politicians and Irgun-connected gangsters, not forgetting media executives, all devoted to Israel.
The most plausible motive for Israel to kill Kennedy has been revealed by two books: Seymour Hersh's The Samson Option in 1991, then Avner Cohen's Israel and the Bomb in 1998, and the lead has been followed up in 2007 by Michael Karpin in The Bomb in the Basement. What these investigators reveal is that Kennedy, informed by the CIA in 1960 of the military aim pursued at the Dimona complex in the Negev desert, was firmly determined to force Israel to renounce it. With that purpose in mind, he replaced CIA Director Allen Dulles by John McCone, who had, as Eisenhower's chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), leaked to The New York Times the truth about Israel's Dimona project; the story was printed on December 19, 1960, weeks before Kennedy was to take office.
As Alan Hart writes, "there can be no doubt that Kennedy's determination to stop Israel developing its own nuclear bomb was the prime factor in his decision to appoint McCone."[41] Then Kennedy urged Ben-Gurion to allow regular inspections of Dimona, first verbally in New York in 1961, and later through more and more insistent letters. In the last one, cabled June 15, 1963 to the Israeli ambassador with instruction to hand it personally to Ben-Gurion, Kennedy demanded Ben-Gurion's agreement for an immediate visit followed by regular visits every six months, otherwise "this Government's commitment to and support of Israel could be seriously jeopardized."[42] The result was unexpected: Ben-Gurion avoided official reception of the letter by announcing his resignation on June 16. As soon as the new Prime Minister Levi Eshkol took office, Kennedy sent him a similar letter, dated July 5, 1963, to no avail. Did Ben-Gurion resign in order to deal with Kennedy from another level?
Five months later, Kennedy's death relieved Israel of all pressure (diplomatic or otherwise) to stop its nuclear program. [more]

US food crisis: Spring’s record-late arrival in parts of the U.S. has catastrophic consequences for food industry – Food prices set to rise!
http://strangesounds.org/2019/05/usa-food-crisis-food-prices-crops-agriculture.html
The calendar might have said it was spring more than a month ago, but the physical signs of it around us told a much different story. According to officials data, this was the latest arrival of spring in 38 years of records for parts of Kansas and Oklahoma. Portions of Washington and Oregon also saw the latest spring start on record. In parts of the Plains, in places like South Dakota, Nebraska and even into Oklahoma, a late spring like this year’s only happens once every 10 or more years. Many farming fields are ruined and will not be planted this year. Otherwise, planting has been dramatically delayed. [more]
