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.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/119027942/north-harbour-water-polo-player-rowan-brown-dies-suddenly-at-training
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12303307
Quote: "A promising 19-year-old New Zealand water polo player has died suddenly during a training session on Auckland’s North Shore. Rowan Brown, a former Rangitoto College student, became ill while swimming at a practice for the North Harbour Water Polo club’s senior men’s team last night."
Note: Very similar to the superstar Olympic swimmer, man, 26, who suddenly sickened in a swimming pool while training in Gainesville, Florida last year then went to the locker room and dropped dead, mentioned in the 2019-03-18 update. If you're in a hurry to die and beat the rush, getting into water - and especially getting water on your head - seems like a decent way to increase your odds of not being alive anymore...

ReplyDeleteStarting off with the all-electric plane bursting into flames (ie. NO JET FUEL) unsuspiciously, then following up with yet another home explosion and a commercial building also blasting apart (with a person catching fire in the process), then moving along to the multi-JJFH events in NC, the young dog suddenly dying, the top-shape athlete keeling over (along with the man in his bathroom) and all the college students dropping dead - what other conclusion can we come to except that JJFH is the real deal?! Every headline on your post points to it, because it's happening so frequently: all the cars suddenly going up in flames, the "medical episode-caused" weird accidents, planes coming down on fire, electrical infrastructure regularly exploding, and this is EVERY DAY!
Great job, Jonny! Thanks again for keeping us all informed of the persistent spread of toxic and flammable gases wreaking havoc on civilization in so many ways.
A ‘High-Level Exercise’ Conducted 3 Months Ago Showed That A Coronavirus Pandemic Could Kill 65 Million People
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/a-high-level-pandemic-exercise-conducted-3-months-ago-showed-that-a-coronavirus-pandemic-could-kill-65-million-people
Just over three months ago, a “high-level pandemic exercise” entitled “Event 201” was held in New York City. On October 18th the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in conjunction with the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, brought together “15 leaders of business, government, and public health” to simulate a scenario in which a coronavirus pandemic was ravaging the planet. The current coronavirus outbreak that originated in China did not begin until December, and so at that time it was supposedly just a hypothetical exercise.
I find it quite interesting that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was involved, because they are also financial backers of the institute that was granted a U.S. patent for “an attenuated coronavirus” in November 2018.
It appears that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been quite interested in the threat posed by coronaviruses for quite some time. [more]

An exchange student from China may have the coronovirus after coming back to Texas A&M for Spring Semester. He started showing symptoms two weeks after being in Wuhan. Yep. That would be the ground zero city of Wuhan. Two whole weeks! If he does have the coronovirus I wonder how many he infected? The CDC should have test results by the end of today. https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-outbreak-update-patients-california-texas-who-global-health-1483820

ReplyDeleteThere are now two very intelligent guys I know, whose opinion on these types of matters that I trust, who have said that this will most likely be a global pandemic. Both of them are not the types who engage in sensational hyperbole. Very cautious types. So I sit up and pay attention when guys like this start using the word 'pandemic'.

Hey Mike. Buy a NIOSH mask NOW and use it. This thing is spreading all over very quickly, and still mutating. Now, instead of getting a fever first, the goddamned virus just straight up KILLS due to multiple organ failure. Meanwhile the fact that China (1st or a close 2nd global economy) will become the first country to be hit hard ECONOMICALLY by this virus causes real concern that the rest of the globe will also be affected (economically as well as from the disease). The knock-on effects can cause an extended slow down of the global economy, which we've read can cause the rapid overheating of the planet due to reduced emissions of particulates (aerosol masking effect), and then we're off to the collapse of civilization races!
When we're dealing with a pandemic for which we have NO IMMUNITY, any "worst case" scenario could become the norm very quickly - especially if people start to panic.
As Jonny says, the [pale] horse[man] is already out of the barn. The situation is going to deteriorate quickly, so that by Spring we'll be in full-blown crisis mode, the way i see it. The airport screenings are just a show - very few people even show symptoms. All the other people on all those planes that carried infected people all over the world should also have been quarantined as a precaution, but they weren't, so the disease is now spreading uncontrollably, and (as one article said) people are walking around in public unaware that they are even infected. Who knows how many students at Texas A & M are now infected - THEY won't even know for a few weeks whether they're even sick or not! Then they go home to their families and neighborhoods and spread it even further.
This could very well be the initial event that causes the whole of humanity to go extinct.
Several weeks ago I read about an Australian study that showed pretty conclusively that Elderberry is pretty effective in staving off the flu virus, or at least helps to lessen the effects of it if caught. I read this before the coronovirus story really blew up, but I started drinking Elderberry tea to help with the "regular" flu that is going around. I also just recently started taking Elderberry capsules daily as well. Just thought I'd throw that out there for those who might be interested. I really hate getting sick with viruses. Any viruses. I damn sure don't want to die that way. That would really suck.
DeleteI *almost* died from the 1968 Hong Kong flu pandemic. I got a fever, family was concerned, but thought I might be okay at home. Then I puked and my fever spiked really bad. They called our doc, and he said to get me in a tub with some ice and he'd be right over (house calls!). He saw me, took my temp (108F) and told my family to get me to the hospital immediately.
ReplyDeleteI was barely conscious on the way, lost consciousness before I was checked in. The flu had spread, and I had bronchitus and pneumonia in both lungs. I woke up briefly under an oxygen tent, barely able to breathe. And then for the next day I was in and out of consciousness. Every breath was a terrible struggle, just mind-bendingly difficult. More than once I thought that that might be it, that I might not be able to take another breath. I was very weak. But an inner voice kept telling me, you can do it. One breath at a time. Do that and you'll live. So one breath at a time I plodded through the day as my body fought a war with that virus.
Finally, I regained consciousness and I could tell that I'd beaten it. The fever had broken and I wasn't bathed in sweat. Breathing was easier. But surviving that virus, fighting that battle, it changed me physiologically. I went into the hospital a mildly plump little boy, and I came out a shriveled-up skeletal waif. I was incredibly skinny and had problems putting on weight for the next 30 years.
That was the closest I ever came to dying. I was literally at Death's door for a while.
Wow! What a horrific experience. You were a tough little guy to fight through that.
DeleteDuring my adult life I have averaged getting the flu about once every 7 or so years. I don't know if it was luck or a good immune system. Many seem to get the flu either annually, or around once every two or three years. But I have gotten a flu, or a virus in general, three times over the past three years. I'm not a happy camper about it. I got the flu in 2017, skipped 2018, then had two this past year. Not sure if the one I had in October was a flu. It seemed to be more of a stomach virus with the dreaded diarrhea. The first night I had a very hot temperature of 104, and probably 105 for a while. I had the worst chills in my life. The uncontrollable shaking was very disconcerting, to say the least. I've had chills before, but nothing like that night. Then it took over a week to recover fully. But there was only one night of fever. So I don't know what the hell that virus was.
Anyway, my lucky streak with viruses is over. Hence the Elderberry. Hoping it helps at least somewhat.

A powerful 6.9 quake rocks Turkey ( Reduced by USGS to mag 6.7) rocks Turkey this afternoon: Today's quake is the 10th of January and 2020 and the 3,094th of this century!
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2020/01/a-powerful-69-quake-rocks-turkey.html
A powerful shallow quake rocks Turkey: This afternoon a magnitude 6.7 - 4km ENE of Doganyol, Turkey according to USGS.
This quake could be significant, no fewer than four major tectonic plates (Arabia, Eurasia, India, and Africa) and one smaller tectonic block (Anatolia) are responsible for seismicity and tectonics in the Middle East and the surrounding region. Geologic development of the region is a consequence of a number of first-order plate tectonic processes that include subduction, large-scale transform faulting, compressional mountain building and crustal extension.
Today's quake is the 10th of January and 2020 and is the 10th major quake of the new decade and the 3,094th of this century! I guess they are not gonna stop.

Virologist who helped identify SARS on coronavirus outbreak: 'This time I'm scared'
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/virologist-helped-identify-sars-coronavirus-225800266.html
one of the virologists who helped identify the SARS virus visited Wuhan, where this virus originated, he didn't see nearly enough being done to fight it. People were out at markets without masks, "preparing to ring in the New Year in peace and had no sense about the epidemic," Guan Yi of the University of Hong Kong's State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Diseases told Caixin. Airports were hardly being disinfected, Guan continued, saying the local government hasn't "even been handing out quarantine guides to people who were leaving the city." [more]
Japan faces decision over Fukushima contamination
https://www.yahoo.com/news/japan-faces-decision-over-fukushima-094337599.html
At Japan's wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant workers in protective suits are still removing radioactive material from reactors.
They must decide what to do with the rows and rows of tanks - that hold radioactive and treated waste water - because they're running out of space.
An expert panel last year said there should be two choices - either let the water evaporate, or dilute it, then dump in the ocean. [more]

Thai protesters demand action as air pollution clouds Bangkok
https://www.yahoo.com/news/thai-protesters-demand-action-air-110438859.html
Dozens of activists held a rare protest on Thursday over air pollution in Bangkok, a day after Thai officials closed schools due to concern over the impact.
Levels of air pollution in the capital, the world's most visited city, have hovered at unhealthy levels over the past month - over 100 on the air quality index.
The index breached the 151 threshold seen as dangerously unhealthy for the general public late last week, and continued to climb until it hit 163 on Monday, according to monitor AirVisual.
Schools were closed for the day on Wednesday, and by Thursday the index dropped back to 121.
The activists, wearing pollution masks, said they were marching to the Government House because of authorities' inaction. [more]

Welp, Scientists Found 28 New Virus Groups in a Melting Glacier
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/welp-scientists-found-28-virus-190600522.html
Scientists have unearthed 28 previously undiscovered viruses, which were trapped in Arctic ice from 15,000 years ago.
The team collected the samples from the Guliya ice cap in Tibet, and published their work to the pre-print website, BioRxiv.
As Arctic ice and permafrost continues to thaw, scientists are concerned that ancient pathogens and toxic chemicals may be released into the environment.
Gases like methane [,hydrogen sulfide] and carbon dioxide, which have been trapped in the long-frozen earth, are being released into the atmosphere at alarming rates. Permafrost houses twice as much carbon than what's currently found in the atmosphere, climate change scientist Sue Natali of the Woods Hole Research Center told the BBC.
In recent years, researchers have pulled samples of smallpox, Spanish flu, bubonic plague, and even anthrax from thawing permafrost. Scientists have also found harmful pollutants, such as mercury, trapped in the reservoirs beneath Alaskan permafrost. [more]
