"If we pursue our present fatal path, you will drive the ignorant to support coups d'état at one moment, and swell the forces of street rioters at the next, and we shall be left exposed to the pitiless fury of irresponsible mobs trying to avenge themselves by looting among the ruins." -- Léon Gambetta

Event Update For 2020-07-20
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.

Lightning strikes 4 as violent storms hammer St. Louis
https://www.sott.net/article/438465-Lightning-strikes-4-as-violent-storms-hammer-St-Louis
As violent thunderstorms rattled south St. Louis, Missouri, on Sunday night, four people in the city were struck by lightning.
At 9:35 p.m. on Sunday, the St. Louis Fire Department released information regarding the lightning strikes on social media. The department reported that the four victims -- all of whom were men -- were transported by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and one was in critical condition.
Eight people have been fatally struck by lightning so far in 2020 in the United States, according to National Weather Service data. [more]

The Real Unemployment Rate is 21%--and Heading Higher
http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-real-unemployment-rate-is-21-and.html
As businesses, agencies and organizations recalibrate to the reality that the V-shaped recovery was nothing but a brief fantasy, 6 million additional jobs lost may be a best-case scenario rather than the worst-case scenario.
It is somewhat less than reassuring that the "official" unemployment rate of around 12% is roughly half of the "real-world" unemployment rate.
But even the 21% real-world unemployment rate doesn't reflect the full unemployment picture: previously full-time workers who have had their hours cut to part-time aren't counted in unemployment statistics, even though their employment status has changed for the worse.

The filmer told Newsflare: "Approximately 10 minutes after the tsunami sirens went off, many people evacuated to the 'Welcome to Homer' sign and were not allowed to re-enter the city until around 1 a.m. Police advised us to drive up Diamond Ridge Road to higher ground." The US NWS Pacific Tsunami Warning Center later cancelled the tsunami warning. [more; loop of short videos]

Newly Released FAA Documents Give Unprecedented Look Into Colorado Drone Swarm Mystery
ReplyDeletehttps://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/34662/faa-documents-offer-unprecedented-look-into-colorado-drone-mystery
As covered in previous reports by The War Zone, law enforcement agencies in numerous rural counties in eastern Colorado and adjacent areas of Nebraska and Kansas received an influx of reports of large drones flying in formations at night for a period of several weeks during December 2019 and early January 2020. Many law enforcement personnel were among the reporting witnesses. In short order, the “mystery drone” wave also elicited serious expressions of concern from at least two U.S. senators and attention from Colorado’s governor and state public safety agency. The activity soon drew the attention of regional and later national news media, as well.
Now, The War Zone can offer an unprecedented inside look at what was going on behind the scenes within the FAA, which was leading a task force to solve the drone mystery. Not only is the confusion within the agency made clear, but we now have multiple highly credible official reports from trained observers from the timeframe when the objects were present in the region. Many of them match to a remarkable degree and they allude to a unique arrangement in which a large drone seems to have been accompanied by a fleet of smaller ones. We also have the latest conclusions, or lack thereof, of what the FAA thinks actually was happening over those peculiar weeks last winter. [more; whole buncha paper leading to no conclusion]

Thames worst major river in Europe for microplastics as 94,000 particles flow down it every second
https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/0bc82b03-b092-3da2-9255-ffaeef017749/thames-worst-major-river-in.html
The Thames is the worst major river in Europe for microplastics, scientists have said after they found 94,000 pieces of plastic flowed down it every second. While the river has been cleaned of many pollutants including trace metals in recent decades, with many lost species of fish returning, the research found that plastic pollution is a growing problem. Researchers at the Royal Holloway, University of London, found that the Thames had a higher density of microplastics than other major European rivers, including the Rhine in Germany and the Danube in Romania.

A week after the first reports of small worms or larvae being discovered in tap water in the South Korean city of Incheon, the problem has spread to towns and cities across the country and the prime minister has ordered an urgent investigation. Residents of nearly 600 households in Incheon, a coastal city to the west of Seoul, have complained of finding worms in their drinking water. City officials believe that insects may have laid eggs in water treatment facilities, with the larvae then making their way through the city’s pipes to emerge from taps. [more]

Thunderstorms Could Flood Parts Of U.S. This Week (With Forecast Video)
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/thunderstorms-could-flood-parts-u-160049250.html
A series of fronts, plus plenty of summer heat and humidity, will provide ample energy for thunderstorm development each day in places across the eastern two-thirds of the country.
With lack of a strong jet stream to steer these systems at a steady cadence, the fronts may stall at times, prolonging the lives of some storms. This is why certain areas could get drenched with intense rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, leading to flash flooding, in addition to total rainfall amounts for the week potentially exceeding 5 or 6 inches.
The areas most at risk, based on the latest outlook from the National Weather Service (NWS), are from northern Minnesota into northern Wisconsin, eastern Kansas into western and central Missouri, as well as the southern Appalchians. This includes, but is not limited to places such as Duluth, Minnesota; Kansas City, Missouri; and western North Carolina, including Asheville. [more]
Scientists report that airborne coronavirus is probably infectious
https://www.yahoo.com/news/scientists-report-airborne-coronavirus-probably-infectious-090340015.html
Scientists have known for several months the new coronavirus can become suspended in microdroplets expelled by patients when they speak and breathe, but until now there was no proof that these tiny particles are infectious.
A new study by scientists at the University of Nebraska that was uploaded to a medical preprint site this week has shown for the first time that SARS-CoV-2 taken from microdroplets, defined as under five microns, can replicate in lab conditions.
This boosts the hypothesis that normal speaking and breathing, not just coughing and sneezing, are responsible for spreading COVID-19 -- and that infectious doses of the virus can travel distances far greater than the six feet (two meters) urged by social distancing guidelines. [more]

A demolition in the Palestinian village of Jisr al-Zarqa highlights the discrimination Palestinian citizens of Israel face on a daily basis
Early in the morning on July 20th the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, escorted by heavily armed police equipped with assault rifles and bullet proof vests, demolished a fishing shack belonging to a local fisherman in the Palestinian village of Jisr al-Zarqa.
After completely destroying the building, the demolition team and police forces abandoned the wreckage, forcing the local fishermen and the building's owner, Ali Jurban (whom they did not notify of the imminent demolition), to clean it up. Adding insult to injury, the costs of the demolition will fall upon Jurban. [more]

Another hotspot - Greece vs. Turkey
From Hal Turner
COVERT INTEL: GREECE v. TURKEY
Greece has officially informed the United States that they will fire upon and sink any Turkish military vessel found in Greek territorial waters.
Turkey has decided they will begin oil exploration off Islands that are Greek territory, but near the Turk coastline.
Greece has repeatedly told Turkey they do not have permission to do this, and to keep their oil exploration vessels out of Greek waters.
Turkey openly scoffed and said they don't need anyone's permission. [more; jus'-like da JEWZ!]

Firefighter suicide in Illinois — could it happen in your organization?

Rest in peace, Nicole Hladik
All suicides are tragic, but when it happens to a young firefighter who had been on the job for less than a year it is especially so. Nicole Hladik was not a wildland firefighter, but could it happen in any fire organization?
From FirefighterCloseCalls.com:
FIREFIGHTER TAKES HER OWN LIFE.
A family is searching for answers after a 27-year-old Hinsdale Firefighter (Illinois) who died by suicide. Firefighter Nicole Hladik was the only female firefighter at the Hinsdale Fire Department and the third in the town’s history. “Nicki was a bright rising star in the fire service, she was beloved by all of us of course and very happy early on,” Brian Kulaga, Hladik’s uncle, said.
But Kulaga said something changed recently.
“Then she traded shifts and suddenly just a lot of negativity and then leading up to today, which was obviously a complete surprise to all of us,” he said. Hladik died by suicide Tuesday and her brother Joseph Hladik said it was a complete shock. “Super active, super fit, a family person, a great friend, she’s my sister but my best friend,” he said. Hladik’s family said it doesn’t make sense. “Our goal is, we just want someone to look into this, it’s not an accusation. It’s just the facts are, how could someone who was so happy and loved what she was doing go from one spectrum to the other end? It just doesn’t make any sense,” Joseph Hladik said. [more]
