"In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue, but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing." -- Mark Twain

Event Update For 2021-04-01
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.

Sad sack Saturday Jonny, all.
ReplyDeleteYesterday we found that tractor trailer fires have jumped significantly since last year. Today 43 more buses have burned this year than by the 7th of 2020 (i missed the misprinted 2019 that day), the closest day in April that year having a bus stat. So 2 of our categories have seen an uptick in numbers this year over last.

Shadow Government Statistics
http://www.shadowstats.com/
DAILY UPDATE (April 2nd to 5th – Updated POSTING SCHEDULE) –--- February Inflation spiked on top of plunging Economic Activity, which reflected more than bad weather in Texas, and March is not off to booming economic start. See the LATEST NUMBERS section and related Commentaries for expanded detail on these headlines: -- Headline March 2021 Unemployment and Payroll Employment showed some improvement against the early Pandemic impact of one year ago, but still give no indication of imminent economic recovery. -- February 2021 Nominal Construction Spending declined in the month, on top of a respective upside and downside revisions to Private and Public Construction. -- Final Estimate of Fourth-Quarter 2020 GDP revised higher by 0.2%. –- Net of volatile Commercial Aircraft orders, February Real New Orders for Durable Goods declined 3.2 (-3.2%) in the month, by 0.6% (-0.6%) year-to-year. -- Cass Freight Index® declined 3.2% (-3.2%) in the month and slowed year-to-year, with the two-year stacked change down by 3.7% (-3.7%). –- New-Home Sales plunged 18.2% (-18.2%) in the month, while Existing-Home Sales dropped by 6.6% (-6.6%). -- Building Permits and Housing Starts both saw statistically meaningful monthly crashes in excess of 10.0% (-10.0%). –- Industrial Production plunge was blamed on severe weather, yet it still declined, unexpectedly, net of those effects. -- Retail Sales tumbled more than expected, amidst nonsensical reporting volatility and revisions. -- PPI Goods Inflation of the last three months surged to an all-time high. -- CPI-U Annual Inflation hit a 12-month high of 1.7%, as gasoline prices regained pre-Oil Price War levels.
L A T E S T .. N U M B E R S .. Despite some monthly improvement, March 2021 Labor Details still indicate no GDP recovery at hand (April 2nd, Bureau of Labor Statistics - BLS). Seasonally-adjusted March 2021 Payroll Employment declined year-to-year by 4.5% (-4.5%) versus a revised 6.1% (-6.1%) [previously 6.2% (-6.2%)] in February 2021. That narrowed annual decline was helped by initial year-ago Pandemic impact on labor conditions. February 2020 activity was the pre-Pandemic series peak, and March 2020 data were net of minimal initial Pandemic hit, in advance of the massive collapse seen in the April 2020 numbers. Against the Pre-Pandemic peak, March 2021 was down by 5.5% (-5.5%), versus the headline virus-narrowed 4.5% (-4.5%). Discussed and graphed in pending No. 1459, and consistent with recent annual growth comparisons to pre-Pandemic levels, a 5.5% (-5.5%) drop has not been seen since the 1946 post-World War II war-production shutdown of the U.S. economy. That circumstances still indicates no imminent recovery in the U.S. GDP, irrespective of reporting games that are played with the headline GDP series.
After thirteen months, the BLS still cannot count the Unemployed.

Hungary sees world record in daily deaths, has highest Covid-19 vaccination rates in Europe
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/450931-Hungary-sees-world-record-in-daily-deaths-has-highest-Covid-19-vaccination-rates-in-Europe
Hungary is suffering a devastating surge in COVID-19 deaths, despite the fact it has the highest vaccination rate in the European Union.
It set a new daily death record on Wednesday with 302 fatalities and currently has the highest weekly death rate per one million inhabitants in the world.
The country is in its fourth week of a new round of lockdown measures as the government tried to get hospitalisations and deaths under control.
The deaths come in spite of its ambitious vaccination programme that is leading the way in the EU, with the country boosting its supplies with China's Sinopharm and Russia's Sputnik V vaccines. [more]
[SOTT]Comment: It has come to light elsewhere in Europe that the vast majority of hospitals are struggling not because of the coronavirus, but because of lockdown restrictions, underfunding and mismanagement: NHS had 15% LESS patients this December compared to 2019 - Any crisis is due to budget cuts, staff shortages and excessive measures

You refuse to get vaccinated, but are you ready to be an outcast?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/450921-You-refuse-to-get-vaccinated-but-are-you-ready-to-be-an-outcast
Let's assume for a minute, that the vaccination campaign is led by people who genuinely want to end the current crisis and restore the country to "normal". Let's also assume, that they believe that mass vaccination is the best way to achieve that objective by preventing the spread of the virus and, thus, reducing the death toll. Is that sufficient justification for silencing vaccine critics and conducting a nation-wide brainwashing operation aimed at controlling public opinion?
No, it's not. People need to hear both sides of the story, in fact, that's the only way they can make an informed decision about how they wish to proceed. The media has no right to commandeer the airwaves and control whatever people hear and see. And they have no right to deliberately exclude the medical professionals and other experts whose views conflict with the official narrative. The only way that people can offer their informed consent for vaccination, is if they're able to weigh the risks and benefits for themselves. But that's only possible if they have access to many diverse sources of information which, at present, they don't. Increasingly, the only message that most people hear is the one that is provided by the government in collaboration with industry honchos and other elites. Traditionally, this type of state media is called "propaganda" which is a term that certainly applies here.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out how this has affected the debate on vaccines, namely, there isn't one. The skeptics have been dismissed as antivaxx loonies while an entirely new regime of experimental vaccines is being praised as a "miracle drug". At the same time, the government - which has aligned itself with the industry it's supposed to regulate- is doing everything in its power to pressure people into getting vaccinated. What we're seeing is the most extravagant Madison Avenue "product launch" in America's 245-year history, and it's coming at us full-throttle from all sides. It's virtually impossible to turn on the TV or radio without being deluged by one emotive vignette after the other all of which are aimed at promoting vaccination. How does this respect the right of the individual to make his own informed decision free from government coercion?
It doesn't. This is flagrant indoctrination and yet no one talks about it. It's shocking. Have you noticed how the critics of the mRNA vaccines have been prevented from expressing their views in the media? Have you noticed how the doctors, scientists, virologists, epidemiologists and public health experts have all been blocked from appearing on the cable news channels or excluded from the nation's leading newspapers? Have you noticed how these critics been attacked on social media, censored on FaceBook and removed from Twitter? Have you noticed the lengths to which the media has gone to eliminate any challenge to the "official narrative" and to denounce, ridicule or blacklist anyone who dares to offer a conflicting opinion?
despite the nonstop propaganda blitz, a significant portion of the population remains unconvinced, unimpressed and steadfast. . .Soon, persuasion will turn into coercion, and from coercion to outright force. It's already clear that air-travel will require vaccine passports, and that public transit, concerts, libraries, restaurants and, perhaps, even grocery stores could follow soon after. Vaccination looks to be the defining issue of the next few years at least. And those who resist the edicts of the state will increasingly find themselves on the outside; outcasts in their own country. [more; then we'll see some fireworks and revolt]

Severe frosts damage fruit in Lleida and Huesca, Spain

The damage caused by these frosts is severe, according to producers and agricultural organizations, not only because of the flowers that have been lost, but also because of the impact they could have on the quality of the fruit. Although there is still a long way to go before the harvest and more unforeseen weather events could be recorded, the volumes expected after this event could come close to last year's -when they were down by about 30%-, or fall even more.
