Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2020-06-29

Event Update For 2020-06-29

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.

Hey Jonny, everyone - good to be home again, but of course now i'm busy mowing overgrown lawn, picking up fallen branches from the big wind that blew through while i was gone, etc., not that i want to waste my time "neatening up for the apocalypse."

Jeez, 3000 new cars (that hardly anyone is buying) go up in flames at once! Well, at least they may get an insurance claim.

i don't see any recovery on the horizon. i think things will continue to deteriorate until the whole system goes down. Some plunges will be deeper than others, but the analogy is a landslide or a sinkhole - where you don't see all the small movement, then all of a sudden it's a mountainside or a big hole.

Is The Nationwide Coin Shortage Being Used To Push Us Toward A Cashless Society?
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/is-the-nationwide-coin-shortage-being-used-to-push-us-toward-a-cashless-society

The coin shortage in the United States is becoming quite severe, and a lot of people are deeply concerned about where this might be leading us. But if you don’t run a business or deal with coins on a regular basis, you may not even know that it is happening. On Monday, my wife told me that a lot of people on Facebook were talking about this nationwide coin shortage, and then on Tuesday Ricky Scaparo posted a couple of news stories about it, so I decided that I better start looking into this. Because if this coin shortage is going to be used to push us toward a cashless society, that makes it a really big deal.

Businesses of all types rely on their banks to supply them with the change they need for their customers, and now many of those businesses are being forced to make major changes because of this coin shortage. [more; it's just like everything else affected by lack of demand (restaurants and bars closed, most people using debit/credit cards for purchases) - but i also think the Fed is siphoning them off, possibly to harvest the metals, or to push a no-coin agenda.]

Joe Biden is hiding in his basement, but maybe that's because the rabid-left looters, rioters, and protesters are carrying out his presidential campaign just fine for him.
What else can be concluded but that, given that President Obama has cynically admitted that the civil unrest covering the U.S. is "tailor-made" for electing Joe Biden? [more]

83 Tons Of Fake Gold Bars: Gold Market Rocked By Massive China Counterfeiting Scandal
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/83-tons-fake-gold-bars-gold-market-rocked-massive-china-counterfeiting-scandal

one market which seemed stubbornly immune to any counterfeiting was that of physical gold in China, which was odd considering that over the past decade China had emerged as the world's biggest counterfeiter of various, mostly industrial metals used to secure bank loans, better known as "ghost collateral", and which adding insult to injury, would frequently be rehypothecated meaning often several banks would have claims to the same (fake) asset.

All that is about to change with the discovery of what may be one of the biggest gold counterfeiting scandal in recent history. And yes, not only does it involve China, but it emerges from a city that has become synonymous for all that is scandalous about China: Wuhan itself. [more]

https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/30-americans-didnt-make-their-housing-payment-june

A stunning 30% of Americans didn't make their housing payment for June - a figure that is likely going to ripple through the housing industry in coming months. According to a new survey by Apartment List, the rate is similar to May and shows that even though other industries are rebounding, the situation has not yet improved meaningfully in housing.

These figures stood at 24% in April and 31% in May, before falling slightly to 30% in June. One third of the 30% in June made a partial payment, while two thirds made no payment at all. [more]

The COVID-19 pandemic may well turn out to be the most tragic and disruptive event that many of us will ever live through. As I write this – in the middle of June – over 400 thousand people globally have lost their lives to the infection. Millions more might have done so without the widespread lockdown of economies across the world, which came at huge economic and social cost. [Download Statistical Review of World Energy pdf] [more]

Around 269 million people used drugs worldwide in 2018, which is 30 per cent more than in 2009, while over 35 million people suffer from drug use disorders, according to the latest World Drug Report, released today by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The Report also analyses the impact of COVID-19 on the drug markets, and while its effects are not yet fully known, border and other restrictions linked to the pandemic have already caused shortages of drugs on the street, leading to increased prices and reduced purity.

Annual U.S. honey bee survey shows Summer 2019 marked highest colony losses ever recorded
https://desdemonadespair.net/2020/06/annual-u-s-honey-bee-survey-shows-summer-2019-marked-highest-colony-losses-ever-recorded.html

The western honey bee, the species used across the country to support food production, to provide a natural sweetener, and to quite simply contribute to our leisure and free time, is among the most important of pollinators.

To mark Pollinator Week, the Bee Informed Partnership (BIP) recently released the results of its 2019-2020 National Honey Bee Colony Loss Survey.

Results revealed some interesting insights into the experiences of our honey bee colonies, and their keepers, across the country this past year.

From April 1st, 2019 to April 1st, 2020, nearly 44 percent of colonies were lost. Losses during Summer 2019 marked the highest ever recorded by BIP during that season, whereas losses during Winter 2019/2020 were the second lowest on record.

To see the most up-to-date information of colony loss in the United States, please visit BIP’s Loss & Management Survey page. [more]

This Researcher Predicted 2020 Would Be Mayhem. Here’s What He Says May Come Next
https://time.com/5852397/turchin-2020-prediction/

Not everyone took Peter Turchin seriously a decade ago when he said widespread civil unrest would sweep through the U.S. in 2020.

“They had no reason to believe I wasn’t crazy,” says Turchin, a 63-year-old researcher who teaches cultural evolution at the University of Connecticut.

In 2010, after analyzing historical cycles of instability, Turchin made a prediction that was published at the time in the journal Nature: America will suffer a period of major social upheaval beginning around 2020. [more]
