Event Update For 2019-09-18

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.

The UK Meteor Network said it was possible the sound was caused by a fireball, but it had received no reports of one from Scotland. It also said it was unconnected to meteors spotted from England at 20:17 and 20:45."

http://www.theblaze.com/news/us-navy-confirms-classified-ufo-videos-are-real-and-were-never-meant-to-be-seen-by-the-public

Quote: "The U.S. Navy has finally acknowledged that videos appearing to show UFOs flying through the air are real and were recorded years ago by fighter pilots. The U.S. Navy confirms that video of UFOs released in 2017 is real, but would not speculate about what the video actually shows. The videos were made public in 2017 by the New York Times and were also released by the UFO research group founded by former Blink-182 singer and guitarist Tom DeLonge, writer of the song 'Aliens Exist.' Video shows a rotating object captured by U.S. Navy aircraft with sensors locked in on the target. Commander David Fravor saw it firsthand during a training mission, describing it like a '40-foot long Tic Tac' maneuvering rapidly and changing direction."

Quote: "The ability to hover over the water and go from zero to 12,000 feet and accelerate in less than two seconds was something I have never seen in my life."

Quote: "They show objects accelerating to hypersonic speed and making movements described as beyond the physical abilities of a human crew."

Quote: "Both the Pentagon and the Navy have confirmed that the videos were never cleared for public release."

Note: The movements of these craft are not beyond the physical abilities of a human crew if they're manipulating the Higgs field and reducing the mass of the craft to zero, which eliminates inertia. These craft are way beyond even Star Trek technology. In Star Trek, you hear the phrase, 'They're coming around, Captain!' These craft never need to 'come around', e.g. make turns. They change their path from going in a straight line in one direction to going in a straight line in an entirely different direction instantly. That means they have no inertia, which means they have no mass, which means they are manipulating the Higgs field. Someone has deduced the same thing that I have, and every particle collider is working on figuring out the Higgs boson - e.g. 'the God Particle' - and the Higgs field. We know WHAT they are doing - manipulating the Higgs field - but we don't yet know exactly HOW they're doing it. That's the hard part, figuring out the HOW of it. Until we do, nothing we make will ever be able to match the speed and maneuverability of these craft, because everything we make is burdened with mass and inertia...

Quote: "Dr. Saji N Hameed, one of the scientists who discovered Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) said recently 2019 is shaping up to be one of the strongest IOD years ever recorded. A strong IOD year indicates extreme rainfall in Eastern Africa from October to December, possibly leading to millions of displaced people, the emergence of Rift Valley fever and other flood-related issues. Dry spells over Indonesia, Australia and Singapore are strongly tied to the ongoing IOD. 2019 IOD is already similar to one of strongest IOD events in history - that of 2006 - when Eastern Africa experienced its worst floods in history, together with Central and West Africa."

Good morning Jonny, everyone. i don't get why some of my posts just disappear, but i'm going to start copying and pasting them as a Word doc just to back 'em up. Tired of wasting precious time doing things over and over. The only reason i do this is because it's important (to ME, if nobody else). i thank Jonny every day for allowing me to comment on his blog. i hope it adds some small value to his critically important site.

Why Does The Federal Reserve Keep Slamming The Panic Button Over And Over If Everything Is Okay?
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/why-does-the-federal-reserve-keep-slamming-the-panic-button-over-and-over-if-everything-is-okay

What in the world is the Federal Reserve doing? For months the Fed has been trying to publicly convince us that the U.S. economy is “strong”, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell recently unequivocally stated that “the Federal Reserve is not currently forecasting a recession”, but the Fed’s actions tell a completely different story. If the U.S. economy really is performing well, any economics textbook will tell you that the Fed should not be reducing interest rates. Interest rate cuts should be saved for times when the economy is in serious trouble, and using up all of your ammunition before a downturn has begun is simply foolish. And the Federal Reserve continues to insist that the financial system is functioning normally, but meanwhile things are spinning so wildly out of control that they felt forced to announce overnight repurchase agreement operations for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We haven’t seen this sort of emergency intervention since the last financial crisis, but the Fed’s message to the general public is that “all is well”. [more]

A new update on landslides from the 2019 northern hemisphere monsoon season by Dr. Dave Petley, Vice-President (Research and Innovation) at the University of Sheffield, UK, showed how an unusually high number of landslides resulted in thousands of fatalities this year, making 2019 the worst year on record. In addition, the last couple of years have been notably worse than the long-term average. [more]

Passengers panic as Delta flight plunges nearly 30,000 feet in under 8 minutes
https://www.yahoo.com/news/passengers-panic-delta-flight-plunges-190628348.html

Delta passengers on their way from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, received a major scare Wednesday as their plane dropped nearly 30,000 feet in the space of under eight minutes, forcing a diversion to Tampa.

Data from flight-tracking site FlightAware shows Delta Flight 2353 diving from an altitude of 39,000 feet to 9,975 feet in the span of about 7 ½ minutes.

“While in flight between Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale Delta flight 2353 made a rapid, controlled descent due to a possible aircraft depressurization issue," Delta spokesman Anthony Black told USA TODAY. He added that the aircraft is being evaluated by maintenance technicians.

"Air masks – the oxygen masks dropped – from the top of the plane. Chaos sort of ensued amongst the passengers," passenger Harris Dewoskin said told Atlanta news station WSB-TV.

Although a flight attendant told passengers not to panic, Dewoskin said "It was a hectic moment so the passengers around me — a lot of people were kind of hyperventilating." [more]

New study finds cancer-causing chemicals in tap water
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/new-study-finds-cancercausing-chemicals-in-tap-water-120057413.html

Cancer-causing contaminants may be in your drinking water, according to a new study published in the journal Heliyon.

Scientists at the Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzed pollutants in tap water from 2010 to 2017. They found 22 carcinogenic contaminants — including arsenic, disinfection byproducts, and radioactive contaminants, such as uranium and radium — in drinking water nationwide, which researchers estimate could, over the course of an average lifetime (about 70 years), lead to 100,000 cases of cancer.

In the study, EWG scientists calculated the cumulative health effects of these carcinogens in more than 48,000 community water systems in the U.S. (not including the 13.5 million Americans who rely on private wells for drinking water). [more]

An all time, well since the 1880s, record has been broken for the month of September with 15 days of 100 plus degree temperatures. The forecast calls for the next seven days to be at 100 or higher. The local KXAN chief meteorologist has several times mentioned global warming on the air. A few days ago he said that if anyone tells you that global warming isn't real then they're wrong. Up until this year I have never heard a local TV weatherman mention GW. More and more are jumping on the bandwagon now. Of course it doesn't matter. Too late.

But IMO there was nothing we could do anyway. I am no longer convinced that C02 is a "greenhouse gas". That it contributes to warming. The main thing we humans do is destroy eco systems and cause extinctions of other animals and plants. Poison water systems and such. Of course plastic pollution. Light pollution. Noise pollution, etc... I've been seeing that it the past there were cold eras in which C02 was even higher in the atmosphere than it is now. There was a big warming event in the late 30s to the 40s last century. Newspaper articles were sounding alarm. Melting in the Arctic even. C02 levels were much lower than now.

Anyway....for whatever the reason warming is happening now. Of that there is no doubt.

Shutdown Is Imminent at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant
https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Three-Mile-Island-Shutdown-560793421.html

Three Mile Island was the site of the United States' worst commercial nuclear power accident in 1979 [more]

[back then, many of us were protesting the building of this monstrosity, but as usual big money trumps everything else; did we learn anything since? Well we learned about Chernobyl, and Fukushima, but at this point few worry that we're on our way out because this dirty/toxic technology was allowed and is contributing to the loss of habitat to this day and for the foreseeable future]

The final shutdown of Three Mile Island, where 1979's terrifying partial meltdown became a landmark event in the life cycle of nuclear power in the United States, is imminent.

Exelon Corp. [Mr. Burns? "Exelon!"] officials said the plant will stop producing electricity around noon Friday, following through on a decision the Chicago-based energy giant made in May after it became clear that it would not get a financial rescue from Pennsylvania.

Decommissioning Unit 1, dismantling its buildings and removing spent fuel could take six decades and cost more than $1 billion, Exelon estimates, although companies specializing in the handling of radioactive material are buying retired U.S. nuclear reactors and promising to do it in under a decade.

The destroyed Unit 2 is sealed and its twin cooling towers remain standing. Its core was shipped years ago to the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory. What is left inside the containment building remains highly radioactive and encased in concrete.

Work to dismantle Unit 2 is scheduled to begin in 2041 and be completed in 2053, its owner, FirstEnergy, has said. [more]

US to Spend $3 Million to Study If Marijuana Relieves Pain
https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/health/US-3M-Study-Marijuana-Relieves-Pain-560799321.html

The U.S. government will spend $3 million to find out if marijuana can relieve pain, but none of the money will be used to study the part of the plant that gets people high.

Nine research grants announced Thursday are for work on CBD, the trendy ingredient showing up in cosmetics and foods, and hundreds of less familiar chemicals. THC research was excluded.

[yeah, well they did NO studies to see if Oxycontin has any problems, and look how THAT turned out! Hypocritical FDA, CDC, Fed gov't, ATF, EPA, etc.can all go pound sand]

THC has been investigated extensively, Shurtleff said, and its potential for addiction and abuse make it unsuitable for treating pain. [more]

No future, no children: Teens refusing to have kids until there's action on climate change

A Canadian teen's pledge not to have children until her government takes serious action against climate change is drawing support from young people around the globe.

Emma Lim, 18, launched a climate change movement this week called "#No Future, No Children" that includes a website where other teens can take her pledge.

"I am giving up my chance of having a family because I will only have children if I know I can keep them safe," she says on her website. "It breaks my heart, but I created this pledge because I know I am not alone. ... We’ve read the science, and now we’re pleading with our government." [more]

Albania was rattled by its strongest earthquake in decades Saturday, officials said, sending people fleeing into the streets in several cities, damaging buildings and triggering power cuts in the capital.

The epicentre of the shallow 5.6-magnitude quake, was near Durres, less than 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of the capital Tirana, according to the US Geological Survey.

Albania's defence ministry said it was the "strongest earthquake in the country in the last 20 to 30 years". [more]

As global leaders meet, the Amazon rainforest burns
https://www.yahoo.com/news/global-leaders-meet-amazon-rainforest-burns-193414712.html

The fires that burned through the Amazon rainforest last month sparked international outcry and offers of help, but as world leaders meet in New York, the planet's largest rainforest remains engulfed in flames.

The latest satellite data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) shows 131,600 fires burning since January within the country, where 60 percent of the Amazon lies.

The fires, which are mostly caused by humans with the goal of clearing land for farming and cattle ranching, are having a grievous effect on the forest: the rate of deforestation in the Amazon has nearly doubled since far-right President Jair Bolsonaro came to power on January 1, with the equivalent of 110 football fields of land being cleared every hour.

The storm that had barely earned a name — it briefly ranked as a tropical storm before being downgraded to a tropical depression — took many residents by surprise with its relentlessness, rekindling memories from when Hurricane Harvey dumped more than 50 inches of rainfall in some areas and caused dozens of deaths in 2017.

The wells will be focused on the prospective Harpoon area southwest of the company's existing projects in the reserve, ConocoPhillips Alaska Vice President Scott Jepsen said during a presentation last week to the Alaska Support Industry Alliance. The wells will better delineate the large Willow prospect.

"Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we'll be able to accomplish all this," he said. [more]
