Event Update For 2020-10-23
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.

Mornin' Jonny, everyone. Getting a LOT cooler lately; i'll probably have to move my plants indoor for the winter this week. Though i could have used it for half of the day on Wed. through Fri. this week, i think the A/C is done for the year too.
ReplyDeletei have a friend who, like Mitch McConnell, gives little or no information regarding his personal life. Someone new, having been introduced to him might ask, "so where do you work?," only to hear the reply, "in a building." If you ask about his health, he's always "fine."

Kunstler: the Democrat Party is the enemy of the people
Bleeding Out
https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/10/kunstler-democrat-party-is-enemy-of.html
The Democrats have a whole lot of bad behavior to defend, ranging far beyond the Bidens to the decades-long activities of the Clintons in their charity frauds, the related Uranium One matter — in which $150-million in Russian money found its way into the Clinton Foundation — and the deal that set up transfers of US secret computer tech to Russia’s Skolkovo project, which eventuated in Russia’s development of hypersonic weapons. Not to mention the RussiaGate coup operation to overthrow the president using false allegations supplied by Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and scores of high officials in a range of executive agencies.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the vaccine
Do not take the vaccine!!!
https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/10/robert-f-kennedy-jr-on-vaccine.html
This intervention can be compared to genetically manipulated food, which is also highly controversial. Even if the media and politicians currently trivialize the problem and even stupidly call for a new type of vaccine to return to normality, this vaccination is problematic in terms of health, morality and ethics, and also in terms of genetic damage that, unlike the damage caused by previous vaccines, will be irreversible and irreparable. [like global warming!]
9. ARE THE COUNT OF INFECTED AND DEAD BY THE VIRUS CERTAIN? No. In the USA it was discovered that any data, would be in fact 10% of that number, because the causes of deaths were other diseases, and the tests are not reliable, they give false positives.
11. WAS THE VIRUS CREATED? Yes, in a laboratory.
13. FOR WHAT PURPOSE? To be the excuse to restrict freedoms, to change the current economic system to a more oppressive / enslaving, scary, blind flock obedience. [more]

Health officials in South Sudan on Thursday confirmed a new outbreak of polio, just months after declaring the wild version of the deadly virus eradicated in Africa's youngest country.
The health ministry said 15 cases of vaccine-derived polio - a form of the illness which occurs in rare incidents when the weakened virus in the vaccine mutates - had been identified in the country's northwest. [more; no vaccine is perfectly safe for everyone]

[from Robin Westenra] Many will know that Hal Turner had a heart attack and a quadruple heart bypass last year. He has had another heart attack and it does not look so good for him.

Indigenous People Confront 350 and Sierra Club
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2020/10/20/indigenous-people-confront-350-and-sierra-club/
On October 12th, 2020, Indigenous People’s Day, a group of indigenous people and allies gathered in Illahee (Portland, Oregon) to confront the Sierra Club and 350.org for their corporate ties and advocacy of false solutions as outlined in the film Planet of the Humans.
These groups were informed that they had breached trust with the grassroots environmental movement and local indigenous people, and had betrayed their own stated goals.
Both of these groups have and continue to advocate for false solutions, including “green” technology, “green” investments, and other greenwashing schemes. Both groups failed to sign the Universal Declaration on the Rights of Mother Earth created at the 2010 Cochabamba World People’s Conference on Climate Change, despite the opportunity to do so.
On October 12th, 2020, both groups were informed that they are no longer welcome, and were asked to cease operations in Oregon and across Turtle Island in favor of true grassroots resistance. [more]
4 months of tear gas in Portland raises concerns for environment
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2020/10/23/4-months-of-tear-gas-in-portland-raises-concerns-for-environment/
Portland has entered a fifth straight month of street protests, often met with a barrage of police-deployed crowd-control munitions, making Portland the most tear-gassed city in America.
This has environmental groups, public health and human rights advocates questioning the short- and long-term effects of tear gas — not just on those demonstrating for racial justice, but also on the environment.
There is no shortage of information and research about what tear gas exposure does to the human body. The Oregon Health Authority and the Department of Environmental Quality share information on their website from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), where the agency lists health effects from riot control agents or tear gas.
But the answers become much murkier when it comes to what those chemical agents do to the environment. [more]

Republicans want to open pristine Alaska wilderness to logging. It's a tragedy
https://www.yahoo.com/news/republicans-want-open-pristine-alaska-101705076.html
Forests are the lungs of the Earth.
Around the world, every minute of every day, trees perform magic. They inhale vast amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and exhale oxygen, the stuff of life. They keep things in balance. And no single forest does this better – contains more living plant life per area, or stores more carbon – than the 17m-acre Tongass national forest in coastal Alaska. [more]
The Biden-Harris Antipathy toward Guns Portends Trouble for Law Enforcement
https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-harris-antipathy-toward-guns-103058724.html
It comes as no surprise former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris are campaigning on promises “to end our gun-violence epidemic.” The leftward drift of the Democratic Party on most policy questions, including lawful firearm ownership, has been made explicit in its 2020 party platform. The presidential nominee’s campaign “issues page” takes it several steps further, promising to pass or incentivize all manner of gun restrictions.
In addition to the lack of evidence supporting these initiatives and their dubious constitutionality they all share one principal problem: The federal government — the helm of which Joe Biden seeks to occupy — has very little authority in this domain. In order to accomplish these policy aims, state and local law-enforcement agencies would need to be pressed into service. [more]

At Least 2 Dead, 7 Hurt as Fire Rips Through Camden Apartments
ReplyDeletehttps://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/at-least-2-dead-7-hurt-as-fire-rips-through-camden-apartments/2573255/
At least two people died and seven were hospitalized Sunday morning when a fire ripped through an apartment building in Camden, New Jersey, forcing some people to jump out of windows above the first floor to escape the flames.
Camden Fire Department Chief Michael Harper said “It’s very significant. We haven’t had anything like this in years.”
The blaze got so big that the CFD had to declare it a three-alarm incident, calling in crews from about six other departments, Harper said, adding that another large fire erupted at the same time elsewhere. [more; "suspicious"]

Trump comment on 'blowing up' Nile Dam angers Ethiopia and lifts the lid on a 2,600-year old, Old Testament prophecy from the pages of Isaiah which until recently had remained a mystery for centuries.
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2020/10/trump-comment-on-blowing-up-nile-dam.html
If you thought 2020 couldn't get any stranger, well, think again. In a remarkable speech, yesterday during a ceremony marking "a peace deal between Israel and Sudan," remarkable in itself, President Trump lifted a 2,600-year old, Old Testament prophecy right from the pages of Isaiah and dropping it into the laps of the world press.
I am not sure of President Trump's understanding of the Old Testament but when he claimed Egypt will “blow up” a disputed dam that Ethiopia is building on the Blue Nile he brought to life a prophecy which until recently had remained a mystery for centuries. [more]

South Korean authorities stick to flu vaccine plan after deaths rise to 48
https://news.yahoo.com/south-korean-authorities-stick-flu-102724495.html
The number of South Koreans who have died after getting flu shots has risen to 48, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said on Saturday, adding that the vaccines would continue to reduce the chance of having simultaneous epidemics.
The health authorities said they found no direct link between the deaths and the shots. They plan to carry on with the state-run vaccination programme to try to avoid having to fight both the flu and the coronavirus over the coming winter.
"After reviewing death cases so far, it is not the time to suspend a flu vaccination programme since vaccination is very crucial this year, considering ... the COVID-19 outbreaks," KDCA Director Jeong Eun-kyung told a briefing. [more; is that the "official number?"]

WTI Crude Oil
The West Texas Crude Oil market has initially tried to rally during the trading session on Friday, only to pullback and reach towards the $40 level. The 50 day EMA is relatively flat, but it is also an area where people will pay close attention to, due to the fact that it is a popular daily trend indicator. Furthermore, the $40 level also has a certain amount of psychological importance to it as well, so I think at this point we should be looking at this as a market that is right around “fair value.” The $43.50 level above is significant resistance, just as the $36.25 level underneath has offered support. Looking at this market, this looks like a whole lot of choppy back-and-forth noise just waiting to happen.

Hero Police Dog Locates 2-Year-Old Iowa Boy Who Wandered From Home, Finds Him With Family Dog

Thanks to Kilo the police dog, one Iowa family can rest easy knowing that their 2-year-old son is safe after wandering from home.
The Mason City family contacted authorities on Tuesday when their little boy went missing from his family's rural home. The family also reported that their dog had gone missing around the same time, according to the Globe Gazette.
The Cerro Gordo County Sheriff's deputies and the Mason City and Worth County K-9 units responded to the incident and began to use a drone to help find the toddler.
However, it was Mason City police officer Duane Kemna and his police dog Kilo that were eventually successful in locating the boy. [more]

Snow was expected overnight, transforming the atmosphere from red-flag fire weather to winter in a matter of hours, forecasters said.

Forget a 1.3% COLA! Two lawmakers want to more than double next year's pay raise for Social Security beneficiaries.
A 1.3% COLA simply isn't enough to true up retired workers' benefits with the inflation they're actually facing.
Understanding the plight that seniors are facing in the wake of the COVID-19 recession, two lawmakers -- Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., and Rep. John Larson, D-Conn. -- introduced the Emergency Social Security COLA for 2021 Act last week.
The goal of the bill is simple: to raise Social Security's COLA to 3% in 2021. [more]

I don't care which candidate wins because it won't make any ultimate difference, as you know. We watch what these guys do, see their grand agendas playing out to its inconvenient end for
all of us. I try not to concern myself with the charade of the moment - this bogus election (and the on-going COVID drama), but I scan some of the daily propaganda and try to see which way the wind is blowing.
The whole thing is probably a psy-op to cause civil unrest so they can usher in
the downfall of our country, complete with FEMA concentration camps, COVID extortion, and the implementation of Martial Law. All this as the environment continues to degrade as Jonny and others have seen.
