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.

2020-05-12 - Rotten egg odor blows in off the ocean and hits large area near coastal Los Angeles (California):

Quote: "Residents in communities north of Los Angeles reported a strong gas-like odor Tuesday morning. The Southern California Gas Company said it began received calls from people in Valencia, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Simi Valley and nearby communities around 7 a.m. Social media posts also indicated a strong odor in parts of the San Fernando Valley."

2020-05-12 - Ocean temps rising at an alarming rate, 9F increase in just seven years off the coast of New England:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-warming-oceans-are-disrupting-the-food-supply-chain-in-america-151557695.html
Quote: "Recorded temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean are increasing at an 'alarming' rate, according to one scientist, and forcing fisherman to confront a seafood industry primed for disruption. Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts recorded 2017 as the warmest year on record for water temperatures in the Northeast. Glen Gawarkiewicz, a senior scientist at the institution, said 2019 was equally 'disturbing,' adding that over the past seven years, water temperatures off southern New England have increased by nine degrees Fahrenheit, faster than any region outside of the Arctic."
Note: That's insane, a 9F temperature rise in just seven years. That's not like air temperatures. It takes vastly more energy to heat up water than it does to heat up air. I can only think of a couple of possibilities that could explain that drastic an increase in temperature in the ocean in that span of time: 1) subsurface volcanism off the East Coast; and/or 2) a slowdown in the ocean current that transports heat from the Gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe, causing heat to backup and accumulate off the East Coast. It's probably the current slowing down, possibly due to the massive amount of ice cold fresh water pouring into the upper Atlantic as increasingly enormous amounts of ice melt in Greenland, which affects both the ocean temperature and salinity. In any case, regardless of what is causing this, anybody involved in the fishing industry in New England ought to start looking for a different job...

Good morning Jonny, everyone. Shit's gettin' deep. After listening to the lead video below, we see that this entire Plandemic has been organized and run by a large global cast of characters and organizations including NATO, the WHO, various well-known universities, governments at the highest levels and actors staging "terror" attacks like a rock-group touring the world doing "shows."
ReplyDeleteIt's not that the virus is not real, it's just that it isn't as virulent as expected and the lock-down is based on fabricated data. They plan to keep us locked down for ~ 5 years (as we'll see below in another article)!
We're in the fight of our lives against the globalists, who we all were lead to believe were being "indicted" by savior Trump. He's as much a part of it as any of the global players.
They're shutting down the food supply chain ON PURPOSE as well as collapsing the global economy and causing widespread chaos with this bogus virus (there will be others). Supply chains are disrupted, the environment is being decimated, disease and locust plague is spreading, and we'll most likely see war soon too.
Ole Dammegard: There might have been bigger plans beside this right now
One might say this is nuts.
Ole Dammegard takes us through the history of a terrorist attack in Sweden and a plan that he uncovered to carry out 21 false flag terrorist attacks in Europe. He claims that he warned of this and NATO was thrown into confusion and all of this was happening just before Event 201 and the Military Games in Wuhan and he speculates that the plans might have been scaled back to a viral pandemic which seems to be fulfilling their plans in a similar manner.
Notice how it has been many months since we heard of any terrorist attack – of ISIS or anyone else. This narrative seems to have been completely supplanted by covid-19 – something that should give pause for thought.

States Are Now Wrestling With The Biggest Budget Crisis They Have Faced In All Of U.S. History
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/states-are-now-wrestling-with-the-biggest-budget-crisis-they-have-faced-in-all-of-u-s-history
Most U.S. states are seeing tax revenues completely and utterly collapse during this COVID-19 pandemic, and some are already begging the federal government for bailout money. Because if dramatic intervention does not happen, many states are going to have to start savagely slashing their expenditures, and that could mean unprecedented job losses on the state government level. Typically, state government bureaucrats make above average salaries and those jobs often come with very nice benefit packages. Once those jobs have been eliminated, they will not be easy to replace.
The tax revenue numbers that are starting to come in are nothing short of shocking.
Just consider these examples…
Georgia is showing a decline of more than $100 million in sales tax, fuel tax and other tax revenue compared with the same period a year ago. Tennessee’s tax revenue is down more than $120 million. Pennsylvania’s is off by more $760 million, and Texas, which also has been hammered by the downturn in oil prices, has seen tax collections plummet by nearly $1 billion.
And New Jersey officials just reported that tax revenue in their state fell a whopping 60 percent during the month of April compared to a year ago. [more; has another ~ 100 min.]

Why China's Move To Test 11 Million Wuhan Residents Could Set Off Firestorm In US
ReplyDeletehttp://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/05/chinas-move-to-test-11-million-wuhan.html [Zero Hedge]
After six new cases in the past days popped in Wuhan, despite health officials thinking corovavirus was finally eradicated in the place of its origin, authorities say they are planning to undertake the hugely ambitious task of testing all of the city's eleven million residents starting in about a week.
It will mark the first mass testing of its scale to be carried out anywhere, with scientists and governments across the globe sure to be interested in the data it produces, given it could portend second wave 'flare-ups' in other countries, should the results show more than expected are still being infected in Wuhan.
The six new cases reported Sunday and Monday were the first since the city's strict lockdown was finally opened. The nightmare scenario is that Wuhan could again be impacted by 'resurgent' flare-up clusters.
Should it be the case that new large clusters are found as a result of the mass test push, it will no doubt spark a deeply pessimistic outlook for Europe, Russia and the United States.
The Wuhan data, which could possibly start to produce results in as little as weeks or a month, could spark a firestorm of controversy surrounding the already sensitive debate on reopening in the West.
In short newly uncovered clusters in Wuhan would give leverage to those politicians and state governors in the US pushing to extend lockdown orders, at a key moment the White House is hoping for a national loosening up of business closures and public restrictions. This also at a time states are increasingly clashing with federal policies for opening back up.
Some recently published controversial scientific models and forecasts designate that many states shouldn't even start opening until mid to late July. For each side, the Wuhan data will likely tip the scales of the debate, either in the optimistic or pessimistic direction. [more]

"This virus may never go away,'' WHO chief of health emergencies Dr Michael Ryan said in a press briefing on Thursday (NZT).
Without a vaccine, he said it could take years for the global population to build up sufficient levels of immunity. [more]

US Senate backs warrantless spying on Americans' browser history, votes down anti-surveillance amendment
https://www.sott.net/article/434405-US-Senate-backs-warrantless-spying-on-Americans-browser-history-votes-down-anti-surveillance-amendment
The US Senate has voted down an amendment that would limit surveillance of Americans' internet records. Apparently, the true divide in Washington is not between Democrat and Republican, but those for or against the police state.
The US Senate met on Wednesday to debate the reauthorization of some provisions of the USA Freedom Act, an expansive domestic surveillance bill that expired in March. As Majority Leader Mitch McConnell brought the Act to the floor, a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced an amendment that would explicitly bar law enforcement from snooping on Americans' internet browsing and search histories without a warrant.
Prior to the vote, McConnell had urged his colleagues to reject the amendment. When votes were cast on Wednesday, ten Democratic senators heeded McConnell's words, bringing the final vote to 59 Yeas and 37 Nays. One more positive vote would have given the amendment the three-fifths majority it needed to pass.
Former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) railed against the reauthorization of the USA Freedom Act in February, yet didn't cast a vote on Wednesday. Online, commenters raged at the progressive kingpin for his absence.

https://www.sott.net/article/434397-Lockdowns-looks-like-an-op-smells-like-an-op-walks-six-feet-apart-like-an-op
We don't need Rahm Emanuel to tell us a crisis shouldn't go to waste. It's a strategy that probably got off the ground a hundred thousand years ago. The other half of it is, create the crisis to begin with. Then don't waste it.
The Bill Gates plan involves a mother of all vaccines for COVID, mandated across the globe, before the lockdowns end. That's his psychopathic wet dream. Then, coming in behind that, his lackey, the World Health Organization, along with the professional liars at the CDC, will add — "we must mandate EVERY vaccine..."
To pull off a mandated global vaccine for eight billion people takes a manufactured crisis.
Fake virus plus real lockdown is the crisis.
You don't think that one up overnight. You plan. You drill, and you organize. You put all your ducks in a row. You prepare, in order to become Stalin and Mao.
Then somebody has to break the ice.
In this case, it was the Chinese regime — locking down 50 million people overnight in three cities. Moving quickly to a hundred million. [more]
