Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2020-05-06

Event Update For 2020-05-06

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.

2020-05-06 - Insects dying off overall, although freshwater insects doing well:
http://watchers.news/2020/05/05/global-study-reveals-declines-in-terrestrial-but-increases-in-freshwater-insect-abundances/

Quote: "A study by an international team of researchers found considerable variation in trends even among adjacent sites but an average decline of terrestrial insect abundance by ~9% per decade and an increase of freshwater insect abundance by ~11% per decade."

Quote: "The findings also showed that while the number of insects varied from site to site, worldwide averages displayed a significant decrease. The number of butterflies, grasshoppers, and other land insects had dropped by 0.25 percent per year for the past 75 years, according to the study's lead author, Dr. Roel van Kink from the German Center or Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv). 'This may not sound like much, but in fact, it means 24 percent fewer insects in 30 years' time and 50 percent fewer over 75 years,' said van Kink."

Quote: "The researchers noted that the results also confirmed the 'windscreen phenomenon'-- an observation that people tend to see fewer insects smashed on windscreens of cars in the present, compared to several decades ago."

Happy Friday Jonny and everyone. What a week. Here it went from low 80s (earlier this week) to (tomorrow) below freezing.

i can't even imagine 5 people going into the same river and dying (by drowning). How does that happen? Is it the same as when some moron goes down into a sewer without protection and then many follow to "save" the person(s) who just died? Nuts.

We Are Witnessing Economic Carnage Like We Have Never Seen Before, And The Economy Is Going To Continue To Bleed Jobs
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/we-are-witnessing-economic-carnage-like-we-have-never-seen-before-and-the-economy-is-going-to-continue-to-bleed-jobs

Now we are up to 33.5 million jobs lost. In just 7 weeks, the U.S. economy has been completely turned upside down, and the numbers are unlike anything that we have ever seen before. On Thursday, the Labor Department announced that 3.17 million Americans filed initial claims for unemployment benefits last week. That brings the grand total for this crisis up to 33.5 million, and that figure absolutely dwarfs what we witnessed during the last recession. And as I discussed yesterday, even the mainstream media is now admitting that millions of those jobs are never coming back. [more]

Eerie Emptiness Of ERs Worries Doctors: Where Are The Heart Attacks And Strokes?
https://www.cryptogon.com/?p=58268

In New York, a substantial number of these people are dying in their homes and the cases are recorded as Covid19 deaths.

As the pandemic took hold, the number of patients showing up at hospitals with serious cardiovascular emergencies such as strokes and heart attacks has shrunk dramatically.

Across the U.S., doctors call the drop-off staggering, unlike anything they’ve seen. And they worry a new wave of patients is headed their way — people who have delayed care and will be sicker and more injured when they finally arrive in emergency rooms. [~ 10 min. video]

End the LOCKDOWNS; launch the TAKEDOWNS
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/05/we-are-in-fight-for-our-lives.html [contains ~ 10.6 min. video @ bottom]

(Natural News) We are in the fight for our lives. “We” as in the human race.

There is no real plan to reopen the economy because the people in charge don’t plan for most human beings to survive much longer. The coronavirus “vaccine” will be a kill switch, a genocide weapon against humanity that’s designed to depopulate the planet. That’s why they don’t need years of testing. It’s not designed to prevent or cure anything; it’s designed to kill.

The food shortages are being engineered to cause widespread starvation, making people too weak to protest. Food scarcity is the weapon of the globalists, and they know that when people are starving, they will surrender their freedom in exchange for a meal.

The unemployment bailout money fiasco is nothing but the government paying people to not protest while the masses are lined up and readied for the kill shot. As people remain prisoners in their own homes, they will be slowed transitioned into starvation and financial desperation, then told they cannot participate in the economy unless they consent to the coronavirus vaccine. This is how the depopulation globalists will get the masses to “consent” to being injected with what is essentially a euthanasia shot. It won’t kill you right away, but it will almost guarantee your death upon exposure to a subsequent infection that’s probably being engineered and readied for release by Dr. Fauci and the NIH right now.

Health workers call for caution over 5G roll-out in Brussels in open letter to government
https://www.sott.net/article/434068-Health-workers-call-for-caution-over-5G-roll-out-in-Brussels-in-open-letter-to-government

"However, the safety of this exposure has never been demonstrated," the authors say. "On the contrary, evidence of its harmfulness is accumulating. Since 2011, moreover, electromagnetic radiation from wireless technologies has been considered by the WHO as possibly carcinogenic, largely because of the increased risks of gliomas and acoustic neuromas in long-term users."

The letter decries the way the precautionary principle has been ignored so far in the deployment of these technologies.

The precautionary principle is a recognised strategy for approaching issues of potential harm when extensive scientific knowledge is lacking. It calls for caution and review before leaping into new innovations that may prove dangerous. Critics argue that it is unscientific and an obstacle to progress.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the pilot of Flight 1392 reported seeing a person on the runway shortly after the Boeing 737 touched down at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport at 8:12 p.m. local time.

The carrier said the pilot maneuvered to try to avoid the person, whose identify wasn't immediately released.

The driver of an airport operations vehicle subsequently reported finding the person on the runway. Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services said its personnel pronounced the person, an adult, dead at the scene.

The plane taxied to a gate, everybody got off and no one on board was hurt, Southwest said. The plane was carrying 53 passengers and five crew members, reports CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave. The aircraft had taken off from Dallas' Love Field.

CBS News obtained a photo of the damage to plane. It shows damage to the left engine cowling, including a sizable dent on the cowling's leading edge. A cowling is the outside housing of an engine. [oh come on, there's no way that damage was from hitting someone, unless it was a fuckin' moose or a vehicle]

Austin police told the station the dead person wasn't dressed as an airport worker and didn't have any identification.

The FAA said it would assist Austin police in the investigation of the incident. [more]

4 states that are reopening — Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Colorado — are not conducting enough coronavirus tests to safely do so, Harvard researchers say
https://www.yahoo.com/news/4-states-reopening-florida-georgia-051202459.html

Researchers at the Harvard Global Health Institute say the US needs to conduct 900,000 tests a day by May 15 to even think about slowly reopening the economy.

The US is currently conducting around 250,000 COVID-19 tests a day, up from 150,000 in mid-April.

Four states that are already reopening — Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Colorado — are not conducting the bare minimum number of tests necessary to safely do so, researchers say.

"Ultimately, I am deeply worried that four, six, eight weeks down the road we're going to find ourselves in the exact same place we were in in early March, and we will have to shut the economy down again," Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, said in a statement. [more]

California regulators waive $200 million fine against PG&E for causing deadly wildfires
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/california-regulators-waive-200-million-fine-against-pge-for-causing-deadly-wildfires-2020-05-07

Utility had argued fine would hinder its bankruptcy-exit plan

California regulators on Thursday suspended a $200 million fine that Pacific Gas & Electric was supposed to pay as punishment for the utility’s neglect of electrical equipment that ignited a series of deadly wildfires in Northern California.

The waiver approved in a unanimous vote by California’s Public Utilities Commission [how many are getting paid off by PG&E?] will deprive the state coffers of money that could offset revenue expected to be lost as the coronavirus pandemic depletes funds coming from sales and income taxes. [more]

The upcoming widespread record low temperatures expected in parts of the Corn Belt this weekend combined with planting that is ahead of schedule in several key states would seem to create the perfect storm surrounding an imperfectly timed storm.

The upcoming widespread record low temperatures expected in parts of the Corn Belt this weekend combined with planting that is ahead of schedule in several key states would seem to create the perfect storm surrounding an imperfectly timed storm.

Among the states whose farmers have capitalized on the favorable weather and planted corn early are Iowa (78% planted compared to a five-year average of 46% at this time), Minnesota (76% compared to 36%) and Nebraska (61% compared to 38%), according to the latest statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Crop Progress report.
