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.

Quote: "China's president Xi Jinping warns of 'grave situation' as killer coronavirus accelerates, doctor dies and US evacuates its citizens from hotspot Wuhan after death toll jumps to 56 with 1,372 cases and 56 million on lockdown..."
Quote: "But Marty, who spent 31 days in Nigeria leading an international team helping to combat the Ebola outbreak, said what's more alarming to her is the fact that new studies have revealed people are spreading the virus before they manifest symptoms. 'Somebody who doesn't know that they're exposed and is not symptomatic, looks and feels great, may already be shedding virus to their neighbours,' she said."

32-foot asteroid just skimmed Earth from VERY CLOSE by shortly after discovery
https://www.sott.net/article/428062-32-foot-asteroid-just-skimmed-Earth-from-VERY-CLOSE-by-shortly-after-discovery
A tiny space rock has just scraped past Earth in what was the closest asteroid encounter not only of 2020 so far, but also in quite a long time. The teeny rock was one of the smallest to traipse through our cosmic neighborhood in recent months — and managed to creep in closer than any other asteroid has done in the past year.
According to a report released by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the space rock approached Earth shortly after midnight, swooping past us at 12:11 a.m. ET. At the time, the asteroid was traveling at an incredible speed of 22,800 mph and buzzed Earth from only 37,200 miles away.
The interesting thing about asteroid 2020 BH6 is that it almost slipped past NASA's radar. The object was only discovered yesterday — less than 24 hours before its close flyby of Earth. The asteroid is estimated to measure no more than 32.8 feet in diameter, per NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). [more]
49-foot asteroid will scrape past earth on Tuesday - 2nd such close approach by space rock in 3 days
https://www.sott.net/article/428063-49-foot-asteroid-will-scrape-past-earth-on-Tuesday-2nd-such-close-approach-by-space-rock-in-3-days
The object is not particularly large but is incredibly fast, and is hurtling through space at formidable speeds of more than 45,000 mph. The rock will skim Earth from a very short distance, flying nearly as close as the moon.
Size-wise, the near-Earth asteroid fares somewhat on the smaller side. The rock — which was discovered a mere two days ago — is estimated to measure no more than 49 feet in diameter. [more; for comparison, a .22 cal. bullet traveling at 3000 ft/sec is only going ~ 2045.5 mph]

Vaccine for the China virus—the planet is the guinea pig for a vast experiment
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/428056-Vaccine-for-the-China-virusthe-planet-is-the-guinea-pig-for-a-vast-experiment
The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) is launching a rush program to develop a vaccine against the China coronavirus.
NIH is partnering with a US vaccine company, Moderna, Inc.
The vaccine is a new type called RNA.
Funded by CEPI.
"CEPI was founded in Davos by the governments of Norway and India, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and the World Economic Forum."
And there you have it. The vaccine that is being tapped by the US government... under its National Institutes of Health...through drug company Moderna...HAS NEVER BEEN USED ON THE PUBLIC BEFORE. IT IS NOT LICENSED FOR PUBLIC USE.
RNA vaccines and the technology they use are entirely experimental.
And this is the type of vaccine being rushed into existence in 90 days.
What in the world could possibly go wrong?
One way to find out is to unleash it on millions of people, stand back, and see.
The PHG Foundation at the University of Cambridge gives us a substantial clue: "... better understanding of [RNA] vaccine adverse effects is needed - these can include inflammation or autoimmune reactions."
Autoimmune reactions — the human immune system attacks healthy elements and processes of the body itself. The body goes to war with itself.
I'm sure you would volunteer for a test run of the vaccine, right? You would certainly offer up your child for a grand experiment, wouldn't you?
And if you're a doctor reading this, you'll definitely inject the vaccine into unsuspecting patients, won't you? Conscience is such an annoyance, isn't it? [more]

America’s most widely consumed oil causes genetic changes in the brain
https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2020/01/17/americas-most-widely-consumed-oil-causes-genetic-changes-brain
New UC Riverside research shows soybean oil not only leads to obesity and diabetes, but could also affect neurological conditions like autism, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, and depression.
Used for fast food frying, added to packaged foods, and fed to livestock, soybean oil is by far the most widely produced and consumed edible oil in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In all likelihood, it is not healthy for humans. [more]

America’s Radioactive Secret
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/oil-gas-fracking-radioactive-investigation-937389/
Oil-and-gas wells produce nearly a trillion gallons of toxic waste a year. An investigation shows how it could be making workers sick and contaminating communities across America
[anywhere you dump it, the by-product is deadly - contaminating the ground, water and even the air]
Radium, typically the most abundant radionuclide in brine, is often measured in picocuries per liter of substance and is so dangerous it’s subject to tight restrictions even at hazardous-waste sites. The most common isotopes are radium-226 and radium-228, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires industrial discharges to remain below 60 for each. Four . . . samples registered combined radium levels above 3,500, and one was more than 8,500.
“All oil-field workers,” says Fairlie, “are radiation workers.” But they don’t necessarily know it. [more]

UBC study links living near highways to risk of neurological disorders

Researchers at the University of B.C. have found a link between living near highways and an increased risk of several major neurological disorders, including dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
The study, published this week in Environmental Health, found proximity to major roads may also increase the risk for multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s diseases, likely because of exposure to more air pollution such as nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter [like brake dust, another pet peeve].

Over And Over Again The Mainstream Media Hasn’t Been Telling Us The Truth About This Coronavirus Outbreak
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/over-and-over-again-the-mainstream-media-hasnt-been-telling-us-the-truth-about-this-coronavirus-outbreak
Ever since this coronavirus outbreak first began, the mainstream media has been feeding us fake news over and over again. Initially, we were repeatedly told that there was very little to be concerned about because it was very unlikely that human to human transmission was happening. But now we know that this virus spreads very, very easily between people. Another thing that we were repeatedly told by the mainstream media was that a victim had to start showing symptoms before they could spread the disease. Unfortunately, now we know that is completely and totally false. As you will see below, Chinese officials have confirmed that even those showing no symptoms at all can spread the disease. But perhaps the biggest fraud of all has been the “official numbers” that the Chinese government has been putting out. According to the latest count, there are now 2,051 confirmed cases and the death toll has risen to 56, but at this point it has become clear that those numbers are completely divorced from reality.

Cannabis compound found to wipe out superbugs
https://www.sott.net/article/428084-Cannabis-compound-found-to-wipe-out-superbugs
A compound made by cannabis plants has been found to wipe out drug-resistant bacteria, raising hopes of a new weapon in the fight against superbugs.
Scientists screened five cannabis compounds for their antibiotic properties and found that one, cannabigerol (CBG), was particularly potent at killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), one of the most common hospital superbugs.
Tests in the lab showed that CBG, which is not psychoactive, killed common MRSA microbes and "persister" cells that are especially resistant to antibiotics and that often drive repeat infections. The compound also cleared up hard-to-shift "biofilms" of MRSA that can form on the skin and on medical implants. [more]

CDC Splits With China on Coronavirus Spread as Possible U.S. Cases Hit 110

As authorities in China scrambled to handle a coronavirus that has killed at least 81 people, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday described a surging potential crisis even as they pushed back on the latest thinking from Beijing about just how easily it spreads.

Arctic Ice Loss Is Not as Scary as the Giant Stirring in the South
https://www.yahoo.com/news/arctic-ice-loss-not-scary-180000730.html
A record start to summer ice melt in Greenland this year has drawn attention to the northern ice sheet. We will have to wait to see if 2019 continues to break ice-melt records, but in the rapidly warming Arctic the long-term trends of ice loss are clear.
But what about at the other icy end of the planet?
Antarctica is an icy giant compared to its northern counterpart. The water frozen in the Greenland ice sheet is equivalent to around 7 metres of potential sea level rise. In the Antarctic ice sheet there are around 58 metres of sea-level rise currently locked away.
Like Greenland, the Antarctic ice sheet is losing ice and contributing to unabated global sea level rise. But there are worrying signs Antarctica is changing faster than expected and in places previously thought to be protected from rapid change. [more]

An aging Iranian passenger airliner carrying 144 people crash-landed on a runway and skidded onto a major highway next to an airport Monday, the latest crash in the Islamic Republic as U.S. sanctions bar it from parts or new aircraft.
No landing gear could be seen in pictures of the plane after the crash, but it was not immediately clear if it failed to deploy or somehow collapsed as the jet hit runway at about 7:35 a.m. local time. The accident is under investigation, officials said. [more]
