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.mirror.co.uk/news/nasa-video-shows-giant-ufo-18335381
Note: Maybe that IS a planet - it's the right size, it's the right shape, and it's obviously massive since that huge solar flare didn't even budge it. If something looks like a planet and acts like a planet then in the vast majority of cases it's a planet. And if it is then we might see an uptick in seismic activity like, say, California being shaken by the biggest quake in decades. This isn't the first planetary-sized object to zip by the Sun in recent years. A much bigger one came by in 2011, also very close to the Sun, and it was thoroughly enveloped by a gigantic flare. That one was very near the Sun about two months after the gigantic Fukushima earthquake, so it may have been in the vicinity of the Earth around the time of the Fukushima quake as it was inbound...

A Bank With 49 Trillion Dollars In Exposure To Derivatives Is Melting Down Right In Front Of Our Eyes
ReplyDeletehttp://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/a-bank-with-49-trillion-dollars-in-exposure-to-derivatives-is-melting-down-right-in-front-of-our-eyes
Could it be possible that we are on the verge of the next “Lehman Brothers moment”? Deutsche Bank is the most important bank in all of Europe, it has 49 trillion dollars in exposure to derivatives, and most of the largest “too big to fail banks” in the United States have very deep financial connections to the bank. In other words, the global financial system simply cannot afford for Deutsche Bank to fail, and right now it is literally melting down right in front of our eyes. For years I have been warning that this day would come, and even though it has been hit by scandal after scandal, somehow Deutsche Bank was able to survive until now. But after what we have witnessed in recent days, many now believe that the end is near for Deutsche Bank. On July 7th, they really shook up investors all over the globe when they laid off 18,000 employees and announced that they would be completely exiting their global equities trading business…[more]

'My entire world was gone': floods devastate northern Pakistan

Once a small cluster of houses stood along a gentle stream in Pakistani Kashmir. Now only jagged rocks and a few damaged homes remain after torrential rains wreaked havoc on the picturesque mountain village in the Laswa Valley.

Twenty-three people are missing, presumed dead by officials.
Seven others were injured, while 150 houses and businesses were destroyed and about 50 buildings damaged in the seven hamlets spread across Laswa. [more]
