Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2021-03-15

Event Update For 2021-03-15

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.

P1 Is Being Called “A Different Pandemic From The One We Saw Last Year”, And It Is Ripping Through Brazil With A Vengeance
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/p1-is-being-called-a-different-pandemic-from-the-one-we-saw-last-year-and-it-is-ripping-through-brazil-with-a-vengeance/

What would you do if a coronavirus that is much more contagious than regular COVID and that makes people much sicker than regular COVID started to spread all over the globe? Well, we are being told that is precisely what is now happening. Technically, P1 is a “variant” of the COVID virus that has paralyzed the entire planet over the past year, but it is proving to be far more dangerous. Over the past week, the spread of P1 in Brazil has caused people to drop dead at a staggering pace…

Vast numbers of healthy young adults are being hospitalized, and that fact has prompted the health secretary of Sao Paulo to refer to P1 as “a different pandemic from the one we saw last year”…

But won’t Brazil be okay once everyone gets vaccinated like the corporate media is suggesting?

No.

First of all, there are all sorts of very serious problems with the vaccines. If you have not heard about them by now, I would strongly recommend doing some research.

Secondly, P1 appears to evade immunity conferred by previous COVID infection. Just check out the results of one new study… [more]

Emergency VACCINE ALERT edition: Situation Update, March 16, 2021
https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-health-ranger-with-emergent-vaccine.html

(Natural News) The mass vaccination of the human population is turning vaccinated people into “super strain” factories who are churning out mutant, deadly strains of coronavirus that may devastate humanity. A top vaccine scientist (Dr. Bossche) is warning that mass vaccinations may create an “unstoppable monster” and that mass vaccinations during the pandemic could transform the relatively harmless coronavirus we first saw (SARS-cov-2) into a deadly “biological weapon.” [oh, like in Brazil (above)?]

The net result is the very real possibility of a global mass death event that could potentially kill hundreds of millions of people and shatter world economies, governments and entire nations.

Yet the obstinate, arrogant, criminal vaccine industry and its media propaganda pushers are aggressively demanding vaccines for everyone, utterly oblivious to the mass death they are likely unleashing for themselves and others. [more; ~ 73.25 min. podcast included]

Landslide at Knappensee, Germany causes 1.5-meter-high tsunami wave (video)

The landslide generated a displacement wave – reported to be about 1.5 meters high. Whilst this would be small in a marine environment, in a non-tidal lake this is significant event. This tsunami damaged properties on the other side of the lake… [more]

Energy companies have left Colorado with billions of dollars in oil and gas cleanup
https://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2021/03/11/energy-companies-have-left-colorado-with-billions-of-dollars-in-oil-and-gas-cleanup/

When an oil or gas well reaches the end of its lifespan, it must be plugged. If it isn’t, the well might leak toxic chemicals into groundwater and spew methane, carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere for years on end.

But plugging a well is no simple task: Cement must be pumped down into it to block the opening, and the tubes connecting it to tanks or pipelines must be removed, along with all the other onsite equipment. Then the top of the well has to be chopped off near the surface and plugged again, and the area around the rig must be cleaned up.

There are nearly 60,000 unplugged wells in Colorado in need of this treatment — each costing $140,000 on average, according to the Carbon Tracker, a climate think tank, in a new report that analyzes oil and gas permitting data. Plugging this many wells will cost a lot — more than $8 billion, the report found.

Vaccinations don't cause deadlier mutations. If they did then we'd all be dead from smallpox variants. Smallpox killed 2 million people in one year as recently as 1967. It's estimated that it killed between 300 and 500 million people total in the 20th century. A worldwide vaccination program that nearly eradicated it reduced that number to just 33 deaths in 2018, a tiny fraction of 1% of the number of people it used to kill annually.

What causes deadlier mutations is opportunity + time. Because so few people have smallpox now, there are far fewer opportunities for it to mutate, and most mutations aren't beneficial to the virus (or anything else).

So that doctor - who is a veterinary doctor, which they conveniently don't mention - is exactly wrong. What would reduce the chance for deadlier Covid variants is for EVERYBODY to be vaccinated, depriving the virus of hosts to use while randomly producing mutations, a small percentage of which will be viable and deadlier. The more hosts, the more chances for mutations.

It's really too late now. We didn't develop and distribute vaccines quickly enough, so the virus is everywhere now and is using an enormous number of people as hosts, thereby providing it a correspondingly enormous number of chances to produce mutations, some of which will be deadlier. It will be very helpful to the virus if many people refuse to be vaccinated, thus guaranteeing it a large number of hosts to use as natural laboratories to develop new strains.
