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 document, seen by the Daily Telegraph, proposes that these criteria 'must include age of less than 80'."

Methane, Earthquake and Sudden Stratospheric Warming
http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2020/03/methane-earthquake-and-sudden-stratospheric-warming.html
On the morning of March 12, 2020, peak methane levels were as high as 2902 ppb (parts per billion) at a pressure level of 469 mb (millibar, equivalent to an altitude of some 6 km (almost 20,000 feet).
an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.8 on the Richter scale hit an area in between Greenland and Svalbard on March 11, 2020, at 21:30:03 (UTC), 2020, at depth of 10 km.
It appears that the earthquake did cause destabilization of sediments at the seafloor of the Arctic Ocean in between Greenland and Svalbard, containing methane in the form of hydrates and free gas, with the destabilization resulting in the eruption of methane that subsequently reached the atmosphere.

Advice from a nurse in Texas
ReplyDeleteThis is from a ICU nurse In Texas.............
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/03/advice-from-nurse-in-texas.html
I have been in healthcare all my life, and now, over 30 years in I am now an ICU nurse practitioner dealing with critical illness and life support issues. Those of you who have come to me for advice in the past know that I am a straight shooter and i have never bullshitted you on matters of health. With that in mind....here we go.
COVID19 is here. In America. NOW. Circulating in communities, both detected and undetected. There is no stopping it. COVID19 is a respiratory illness caused by SARS-CoV2, a new (novel is the scientific word) strain of coronavirus that has emerged in humans since December 2019. It is related to the SARS virus that circulated in 2002-3. We got lucky then. Our luck is not so good this time.
It is not the flu. It doesn't feel like the flu. And it is deadlier than the flu by every measure we have undertaken in affected countries. It will make the rounds and many of us will catch it. Most of us wont have a problem with it however... a significant number of us will get fairly sick and may need hospitalization... of those about half of those hospitalized will likely end up in the ICU and possibly on breathing machines... and of those sickest, there will be deaths. COVID19 at its best is showing a 0.8% mortality rate, which is 3x worse than the flu. That is in countries that have extensive testing and detected both the well AND unwell who are positive for the SARS-CoV2 virus, which causes the COVID19 illness.
There are 350 million folks in america, roughly. People are throwing around this number of "less than one percent". Well let me tell you: Do the math. A very small percentage of a very large number is STILL a large number. [more]

A witness to the start of financial and economic collapse

This Week: Medical Collapse, Food Shortages, and Anarchy, Begin . . .
1. In Europe and the U.S., the number of infected people, the REAL NUMBER, is in TENS OF MILLIONS. In other words, the virus reached the point where NOTHING, no matter what, will be able to stop it.
2. There will be shortages of food and basic necessities, and these shortages will be felt in a matter of days, in certain countries, and by the end of the months, in most countries.
3. The healthcare systems will collapse this week, in most countries in Europe and the U.S. War-like triage will start this week in Europe, and by the end of next week, in the whole U.S.
4. Power outages will start in April, once SHTF will be full-blown in many, MANY countries across the world.
5. At least ONE country will fall to partial anarchy this week. At least 10 countries will be under martial law this week. Tons of social protests will take place this week, mostly small scale, and containable. But it will be just the start.
6. The peak of the first wave will be reached in May/June, in most countries, but the second wave will start in September/October.
7. Medical staffing will suffer big losses in human lives, making things worse each day, every day. The armed forces and the police forces are already affected by the virus, and will be much more affected in the coming weeks, with society losing the last line of defense in front of anarchy and criminality.
8.Some (hopefully) good news. I hope that my numbers are wrong, and the number of already infected people is much lower, making the lock-downs and even martial law drastically slowing down the contagion. If so, WE CAN, as society, go past 3-4 weeks of hardship (2020-type of hardship), and be able to keep things relatively normal.
My advice, for anyone who is reading this : the best thing to do now, is simply to avoid, 100%, ANY TYPE OF CONTACT.

Yeah, I think the coronavirus is a coordinated effort to enable martial law in most countries. China would have been on high alert for any form of attack from the US including a bioweapon, but they supressed information about it until it got going. They even arrested the 1st doctor that pointed it out. They should have made him a hero. We're in for a shit show!

ReplyDeleteYeah, the death of the globalists/globalist takeover rages over the net. It's way over my head. i can't keep up or keep track of who's who and what's what. It's enough keeping up with the end of industrial civilization, climate change and all the other effects (methane spiking, aerosol masking effect, etc.), but i don't doubt what you're sayin'! It'd be the perfect cover for the roll out of 5G, which has a lot of the same affect on people as the flu! Alex Jones is all over it, but i keep it all at arms length.

The Coronavirus Collapse Is Here: Get Ready For The U.S. Unemployment Rate To Hit 20 Percent (Or Higher)
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-coronavirus-collapse-is-here-get-ready-for-the-u-s-unemployment-rate-to-hit-20-percent-or-higher
[haaah-haaaaah-haaaaa 20% - that's what it ACTUALLY was BEFORE COVID-19! It's probably more like 50% if they were honest.]
As communities all over America shut down in order to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, job losses are already starting to rise to extremely alarming levels. As you will see below, almost one out of every five households in the U.S. has already experienced “a layoff or a reduction in work hours” because of this pandemic. Unfortunately, many experts are now anticipating that we could see one of the most dramatic spikes in the unemployment rate in American history in the months ahead. In fact, it is being reported that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin just told members of Congress that this crisis could actually push our unemployment rate up to 20 percent… [more]

America's mask of death
https://www.sott.net/article/430954-Americas-mask-of-death
Health industry executives themselves are at risk because they've put profit before public health, says Joe Lauria.
"It's outrageous that during the worst health crisis facing our country in decades, insurers want to make clear that they still plan to profit from the treatment of coronavirus victims. This is just the most recent egregious example of the greed of the for-profit health insurance system and highlights why we need a Medicare for All system, which would guarantee testing and health care to everyone living in the U.S. If costs are waived for tests, but not for treatment, people who test positive for the coronavirus may not be able to afford treatment and will continue to infect others." - Melinda St. Louis, Director of Public Citizen's Medicare for All Campaign.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in testimony to Congress on Thursday:
"The system is not really geared to what we need right now, what you are asking for. That is a failing. Let's admit it. The fact is, the way the system was set up, the public health component that Dr. Redfield was talking about, was a system where you put it out there in the public and a physician asks for it and you get it. The idea of anybody getting it easily the way people in other countries are doing it — we're not set up for that. Do I think we should be? Yes. But we're not."
When the oligarchs' economic system crashed in 2008 from over-speculation, the U.S. government did the unimaginable. It nationalized industries to save them. It used socialism to rescue capitalism. But it was temporary. Once the economy had sufficiently recovered, the U.S. returned to its market fundamentalism.
If the coronavirus crisis approaches the numbers recent studies point to — as many as 240 million Americans infected and one million dead — expect serious consideration to a single-payer system sweeping through Congress and signed into law.
But once the virus is contained expect your premiums to rise again. Just like the nationalizations in the 2008 financial crisis, a temporary national health insurance would only be enacted to save the oligarchs from the Red Death. [more]

US President Donald Trump has said that he will activate an old wartime act to force American industry to produce essential medical supplies to fight the COVID-19 coronavirus. Trump promised “total victory” over the deadly virus.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Trump announced that he would be activating the Defense Production Act of 1950. The act, written at the outbreak of the Korean War, gives the federal government power to instruct manufacturers to make much-needed equipment, in this case protective masks and ventilators. [more]

https://www.rt.com/usa/483371-trump-china-virus-conspiracy/

If it is a bioweapon I don't believe the US military "delivered" it to China. It is either China's to begin with, or they stole it from a US or Canadian lab in order to study it for a vaccine. Then someone at the Wuhan lab got sloppy and it got out to the public at large.
DeleteOr it isn't a weaponized virus at all. We'll never know for sure.
Thanks, Mike. i still ascribe to Dr. Boyle's explanation that you turned me on to a bunch of weeks ago. It makes the most sense. Of course, like 9-11, we'll "never" know - but the evidence should begin to clear the fog eventually (though we don't have long).
