Event Update For 2020-09-17
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.

Quote: "The Beachie Creek Fire has burned 191,238 acres so far and is 20% contained, fire officials say."
2020-09-17 - Numerous other areas experiencing devastating fires around the planet besides the US West Coast:

Note: Well, of course. Eventually everything on the surface of the planet that CAN burn WILL burn. We're already seeing firestorms like none seen before. Just imagine the fires we're seeing now, but 10 times worse, and everywhere. That's where we're headed. On the plus side, Earth's running a 100% off sale on cremation services!
2020-09-17 - Work truck bursts into flame, ignites 1200-acre wildfire, on Snow Creek Road near Palm Springs (California):
http://www.kesq.com/news/2020/09/17/evacuation-orders-issued-for-1200-acre-fire-at-snow-creek-in-palm-springs/
http://patch.com/california/palmdesert/vehicle-fire-sparks-fast-moving-brush-fire-near-palm-springs
Quote: "According to the California Highway Patrol and CalFire, a vehicle caught on fire on Snow Creek Road at around 2:36 p.m. It's unclear what started the car fire, but the flames were spread quickly due to the wind and dry conditions."
Note: I've documented quite a number of wildfires that have begun from vehicles bursting into flame. I don't know exactly how many, but dozens at least. And a lot of the fires that have unknown causes may be igniting that way too. You see pictures of charred wasteland with burned-out vehicles scattered across the landscape and you have to at least wonder...

2020-09-17 - Trump's climate change rollbacks to dramatically increase US greenhouse gas emissions:
http://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/17/trump-climate-rollbacks-increase-emissions-417311
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/17/climate/emissions-trump-rollbacks-deregulation.html
Quote: "President Donald Trump's rollback of Obama-era climate regulations will cause the United States to pump an extra 1.8 billion tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere between now and 2035, at a time when scientists say the world needs to slash its carbon pollution dramatically to avoid catastrophe, researchers said Thursday."
Note: That will help kill off humanity at least somewhat faster. If you've got a hankerin' to take a nice relaxing dirt nap sooner rather than later, possibly after burning to death, then Trump's the candidate for you!

i think you're on to something, Jonny! Each year has seen increasing temperatures and acreage burned, more people dropping dead, more drownings and water-related deaths, more residences and other buildings bursting into flames as well as vehicle fires. When's it gonna stop? When it's all burned out!

Van Morrison set to release anti-lockdown songs
https://www.sott.net/article/441593-Van-Morrison-set-to-release-anti-lockdown-songs
First up is "Born to Be Free," out Sept. 25, followed by "As I Walked Out" on Oct. 9, and "No More Lockdown" on Oct. 23.
Morrison's lyrics are straightforward. In "Born to Be Free," he sings: "The new normal, is not normal/It's no kind of normal at all/Everyone seems to have amnesia/Don't need the government cramping my style/Give them an inch, they take a mile."
"As I Walked Out" features the lines: "Well, on the government website from the 21st March 2020/It said COVID-19 was no longer high risk/Then two days later/They put us under lockdown."
And, "No More Lockdown" has the lyrics: "No more lockdown/No more government overreach," the musician sings in the chorus. "No more fascist bullies/Disturbing our peace."
"No more taking of our freedom/And our God given rights/Pretending it's for our safety/When it's really to enslave."
"I'm not telling people what to do or think, the government is doing a great job of that already," Morrison said in a statement announcing the songs. "It's about freedom of choice, I believe people should have the right to think for themselves."
"This is not a sign of compliance or acceptance of the current state of affairs, this is to get my band up and running and out of the doldrums. This is also not the answer going forward. We need to be playing to full capacity audiences going forward."
"I call on my fellow singers, musicians, writers, producers, promoters and others in the industry to fight with me on this," the statement continued. "Come forward, stand up, fight the pseudo-science and speak up. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and myself appear to be the only people in the music business trying to get it back up and running again. Come forward. It's not economically viable to do socially distanced gigs." [more]
