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.

2020-09-22 - Unknown rotten egg odor hits Catskill (New York), near the Hudson River:
http://www.hudsonvalley360.com/news/greenecounty/source-of-gas-odor-in-catskill-remains-unknown/article_f7260689-a0a7-53ce-aab5-c5dd9aeea492.html
http://www.newsbreak.com/new-york/catskill/news/2068349703127/source-of-gas-odor-in-catskill-remains-unknown
Quote: "A reported gas odor at Catskill Commons on Tuesday afternoon turned out to be coming from an unknown source, said John Maserjian, media relations director for Central Hudson Gas & Electric. Central Hudson checked the area, above and below ground, and did not find any evidence of leaking gas, Maserjian said."
Quote: "Businesses in the area were not evacuated, but firefighters used a gas detection meter to determine if there were gas levels present, Holt said. The meter detects the presence of natural gas and carbon monoxide, Maserjian said."
Quote: "It was determined that the odor was not gas. The odor was coming from unknown source, Maserjian said."
2020-09-22 - Birds dying in Colorado too:

http://www.sott.net/article/441805-Hundreds-of-dead-birds-found-in-Eagle-County-Colorado-and-also-in-New-Mexico-well-before-snowstorm-struck-on-September-9
Quote: "Vail resident David Pleshaw, who photographed a yellow-rumped warbler that had died outside of his home, said the bird felt like it was of a weak composition. 'Seems like it’s just features and bones, not much muscle at all,' Pleshaw said. And in a separate observation, 'Last year at this time, I had those big mosquito bugs at my house by the river,' Pleshaw said. 'I haven’t seen any this year.'"
Note: The fish and berries are disappearing in Canada and grizzly bears are starving to death. Seabirds have been washing up dead and starved from Washington State to Alaska. Now here's more birds starved, and the insects are disappearing. More signs of widespread biosphere collapse...

2020-09-22 - Kidney damage from COVID-19 linked to higher risk of in-hospital death:
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-09/ason-kdf091720.php
http://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-09-kidney-covid-linked-higher-in-hospital.html
http://www.newswise.com/coronavirus/kidney-damage-from-covid-19-linked-to-higher-risk-of-in-hospital-death
Quote: "The team found that, in patients with COVID-19, AKI is uncommon but is linked with a high risk of in-hospital mortality. Seven percent of patients developed AKI during hospitalization, many within 7 days after admission. The in-hospital mortality rate was 10% in patients without AKI vs.72% in patients with AKI. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, AKI was associated with a 5-times higher odds of dying while in the hospital. Also, the risk of death was higher with greater severity of AKI."
2020-09-22 - COVID-19 death toll passes 200,000 in the US:
http://globalnews.ca/news/7338281/united-states-covid-19-death-toll/

http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2020-09-23/200-000-dead-as-trump-vilifies-science-prioritizes-politics
Note: You can clearly see the effects of politicizing science. Of the eight states with 2% or fewer infections in the community, all eight are blue states, e.g. states that have respected science and ignored the president. Of the nine states with 10% or greater infections in the community, eight of them are red states (Wisconsin being the exception). These are the states that reopened earlier than the task force's recommendations, didn't mandate masks and in general did what the president wanted, science be damned. Now they have skyrocketing infection rates. No coincidence there...
2020-09-22 - Number of COVID-19 hospitalizations on the rise in Missouri:
http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/coronavirus/covid-19-hospitalizations-hit-record-numbers-in-missouri-experts-worry-about-rural-hospitals/article_e8fa590a-86a2-5e70-88d0-455b8c71e285.html
Quote: "Before Aug. 25, Missouri had never reported more than 1,000 patients at a time. It has now happened on seven of the past 10 reported days."
Note: These aren't merely infections, these are people sick enough to go to the hospital, which nobody does because they want to. According to that kidney damage math, around 70 people per day in Missouri will have kidney damage in the first week of hospitalization out of each 1,000 people hospitalized, and around 50 of them will die. Of the other 930 out of each 1,000 people, 93 will die. These infections are mainly hitting rural areas. Which is to say, conservative areas with lots of Trump supporters, many of whom are both fat and old. It's like there's now some kind of voluntary nationwide virus-enhanced conservative self-depopulation program going on. Our governor spends a lot of time in those areas, so I wouldn't be surprised if he comes down with COVID-19 himself...

2020-09-22 - Trump campaign reportedly discussing contingency plans to bypass election results:
http://news.yahoo.com/trump-campaign-reportedly-discussing-contingency-153100735.html
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/11/what-if-trump-refuses-concede/616424/
Quote: "Citing Republican Party sources, The Atlantic says that Trump's campaign is 'discussing contingency plans to bypass election results and appoint loyal electors in battleground states where Republicans hold the legislative majority.'"
Note: In other words, if, say, Florida votes for Biden, and therefore Trump loses Florida, the Republican Florida legislators could say, 'Well, we don't believe that's the case, so we're going to give the electors to Trump anyway.' So then Trump would 'win' even if he loses the popular vote AND the electoral college vote, by forcibly stacking the electoral college vote against the will of the voters in states with Republican legislators. It's actually much more complicated than that, with many possibilities: dueling sets of electors, Pence unilaterally deciding that he and Trump get a second term, Pennsylvania's electors being tossed into the garbage, Nancy Pelosi blocking some of the Republican shenanigans and delaying things until she therefore becomes president, all kinds of stuff.
The Atlantic article is an excellent information-loaded article that explains what an immoral incumbent willing to savage democracy might do in order to retain power, some of which is already underway (voter suppression, sabotaging the mail delivery system, etc), and some tactics, like bypassing election results by using loyal legislators to subvert the will of the people, are already being discussed. These are stepping stones on the path to tyranny...

This isn't difficult to understand as these vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants and heavy metals (aluminum, mercury, etc.), plus formaldehyde and other chemicals and preservatives which usually have unknown health risk. In addition, there are also no real study figuring what could be the long-term effects of importing contaminants of DNA from fetal cells (aborted) to your body, and of various animal DNA and so-called retroviruses. Yet the WHO and other government agencies recommend "50 doses of 14 vaccines by age six, 69 doses of 16 pharmaceutical vaccines containing powerfully immune-altering ingredients by age 18". [more]

"Underground fires-zombie fires," a "climate bomb". Underground peat fires have been burning for more than 5 years as unprecedented temperatures and around nine million hectares of forests, an area the size of Portugal-have been impacted by fires this year in Siberia
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2020/09/underground-nderground-fires-zombie.html
The bitterly cold Arctic winter typically snuffs out the seasonal wildfires that erupt in this region. But every once in a while, a wildfire comes along that refuses to die. These blazes, known as “zombie fires” or “holdover fires,” can burrow into the rich organic material beneath the surface, such as the vast peatlands that ring the Arctic, and smoulder under the snowpack throughout the frigid winter.

At any rate, it's going to be pure hell from there on out. Will make what we've been through so far this year seem like the glory days by comparison.
Good mornin'! I think the Republic has been dead for awhile...just not officially. Imho once the Gov has to pay interest or even borrow money from the central bank the bank is in charge, not the elected Government. I remember seeing something about info leaked from a Japanese University a couple years ago that mentioned that North America would separate from South America and that the separation would occur in Mexico. I'll post the link later on if I can find it.
ReplyDeletei agree with your last statement, Mike. Good point Terry!
ReplyDeletei would add that the government has been trampling all over the Constitution, especially when it comes to "our rights" which they treat as privileges. As we see with Assange, you can't even tell the truth!
To Mike's last point then, the country is about to fundamentally change, and it doesn't look good. Hoping that cooler heads will prevail is a little like not evacuating with a CAT 4 hurricane bearing down on you.
i wish there was an opt out clause, 'cause neither "side" of our tw0-party dominated system give us the same results when it comes to the environment or climate change policy, war, medical domination, surveillance, foreign policy, and much more that none of us ever voted for. It's corporations before citizens and profits above health and well-being.
It's going to crash and burn. The election may cause a stock market collapse, rioting, civil war, and the continuation of Covid-19 (whether it was planned or not, it's here and doing at least some damage - in that the economy has been hamstrung by the policies we've been forced to comply with). It sure looks like we're being set up for Martial Law in the near future, with the FEMA camp scenario waiting in the wings.

Americans are being warned to "stay home and stay off the roads" tonight after a Grand Jury in Louisville, KY failed to Indict three of four police officers for the death of Breonna Taylor.
Rioters are already smashing stores and businesses in Louisville and law enforcement has Intel claiming rioters all over the USA are being mobilized for destruction tonight.
There is significant money behind these rioters and some of that money has now been traced. In louisville, immediately after the GRand Jury decision was made public, "activists" made a bee-line for a U-Haul rental truck and . . . lo and behold . . . it was full of signs, posters, sticks and more! Here's video: [see tweet]
Thanks to Intelligence Sources, we can report that U-Haul truck was rented by Holly Zoller of the Louisville Bail Initiative.

[highlights the USA, Israel, UK, Australia, and Sweden]
Sweden's lockdown-free coronavirus response is at risk as officials mull 'chain-breaking' localised restrictions amid a spike of cases in Stockholm.
State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, the herd-immunity architect, expanded on the proposals for the capital after first signalling the shift on Tuesday.
'We are thinking of fairly short restrictions, to break the spread of infection requires perhaps two to three weeks at most,' Tegnell told the Dagens Nyheter newspaper on Wednesday. 'We are still developing the concept, so to say, but something like that.'
Tegnell added: 'The restrictions could be extremely local. It could be about a single workplace or city district: wherever you see a spread and think that there are restrictions that might stop it. [more; that's how it starts]

Low tide reveals WWII-era bomb on beach near resort town in UK

Bomb disposal experts successfully detonated a live World War II era mortar found on the beach near a United Kingdom resort town after low tide revealed the decades-old explosive.
The device was found on a beach north of Weston-Super-Mare, a popular seaside vacation town in the Bristol Channel, the Royal Navy said Wednesday.
"After excavating around the device we established that the device was intact and possible live," Royal Navy Petty Officer Diver Rob Bishop said in a statement Wednesday.
The team determined that the explosive was an anti-submarine mortar bomb and believe it was used in the area when a nearby weapons research facility was operating. [more]

Crocodile attacks snorkeller off Australian island
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/crocodile-attacks-snorkeller-off-australian-085337594.html
A crocodile bit a man on the head and neck as he was snorkelling off an island on Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
The 33-year-old was flown to hospital after Wednesday's attack by what is believed to be a two-metre (six-foot) saltwater crocodile near the Lizard Island resort, a Queensland state official said in a statement.
Wildlife officers will travel to Lizard Island to attempt to locate and remove the crocodile, the official said. [more; yeah right, like they KNOW which croc it was - what a crock]
The cost of atmospheric rivers are on the rise as they get bigger
https://www.yahoo.com/news/cost-atmospheric-rivers-rise-bigger-234900363.html
Past studies have shown that climate change is expected to intensify atmospheric rivers across many areas of the Earth in several decades, although the number of events could be slightly reduced. Computer model simulations indicate that a continuation of our current greenhouse gas emission trend would cause a 10 per cent reduction in the number of atmospheric rivers by 2100. However, these rivers will be on average 25 per cent wider and longer and heavy rain and wind conditions related to them around the globe will increase by about 50 per cent.

Mauritius takes stock of oil spill two months later
https://www.yahoo.com/news/mauritius-takes-stock-oil-spill-034841317.html
On July 25, a cargo ship loaded with thousands of tonnes of fuel ran aground off Mauritius, leading to the worst environmental disaster ever witnessed in the tiny Indian Ocean archipelago.
Two months later, Mauritius is still taking stock of the damage, after its rich fishing grounds and sensitive marine habitats were befouled with oil.
"The amount of oil is relatively small but in Mauritius it's a very key area for biodiversity," Ware said.
The accident occurred near two ecologically-critical sites: Blue Bay, known for its coral gardens and Pointe D'Esny, which hosts a fragile mangrove forest critical in the fight against global warming.
Also a short distance away is Ile Aux Aigrettes, a nature reserve home to endemic bird and reptile species.
About 50 melon-headed whales washed up dead off Mauritius at the end of August, infuriating the public, but a link with the spill has not been established.
Conservationists are particularly concerned about the long-term ecological damage to the island's marine ecosystems.[more]
