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.

ReplyDeletei use an old Dell computer with an old (unsupported)version of Windows and the mouse disappears or goes other than where i place it. Yesterday i hit something on the site that "embedded" my comment and Blogger wouldn't let it publish "for my safety." My phone also gives me trouble with a "Whoops, that's an error" message. Have i mentioned lately how much i detest computers, phones and technology?
i don't know how to fix any of it, so i just give up, frustrated.

Climate is the new Covid [though it was an emergency way before]
https://www.sott.net/article/451848-Climate-is-the-new-Covid
Yesterday was Earth Day. The traditional day environmental hashtags temporarily trend across all social media sites. This year was no different, with the exception of the stronger than usual whiff of agenda.
The narrative of the "deadly viral pandemic" is slowly losing momentum. Whether this is through the public having "post viral fatigue"(as it were), or a deliberate shift in media talking points is unclear. But there's certainly less energy in the story than at this time last year.
That said, it's also perfectly clear that governments around the world are in no mood to give up their newly acquired "emergency powers", and that alleged "anti-covid measures" are not going away anytime soon.
Especially lockdowns, which are being freshly marketed as "good for the planet".
Has the lockdown been good for the environment?
The answer to that is either "probably no" or "certainly not", depending on your priorities.
For starters there are plastic-fibre disposable masks - which, we remind you, do absolutely nothing to prevent the spread of viruses - hundreds of thousands of which are now busily washing up on beaches, entangling wildlife and clogging sewers all over the world.
The "lockdowns" have been sold in the press like a total halt to all human activity but, in reality, it's mostly small businesses being closed down, and a lot of important-sounding but largely unproductive people having zoom meetings.
The militaries of the world still travel, the navies are still at sea. Public transport is still running, even if it is lessened in some places. Emergency vehicles keep chugging along. Rubbish and recycling are still collected. Container ships, cargo planes, long-haul trucks and freight trains are still taking goods to every part of the world.
The big retailers - WalMart, Tesco, CostCo, Amazon etc. - they are all still open, and their supply lines flow all over the world.
The idea that all human activity just stopped dead is a convenient lie
Mines, mills, and plants still exist. Power stations, dams and sewage processors are still ticking over. Even the service economy is still running, just with different people moving in the opposite direction. Deliveroo, Uber and JustEat drive cars, and any decrease in people going to restaurants will be counterbalanced by increased take-away deliveries.
Factories in China are still making all the things that are being shipped around the world and then delivered to our doors, rather than shipped around the world and having us going to get them. Is that really much of a change in emissions?
In short, no, there is no publicly available evidence that "lockdown" was good for the environment at all. [but they'll keep doing it until we stand the fuck up and just STOP OBEYING]
They've shown us their hand. They've told us - upfront and out loud - what they want to achieve.
Total economic control, marked depreciation of living standards, removal of national sovereignty and radical erosion of individual liberties.
That's the endgame here. They said so.
Viruses or vaccines. Poverty or prosperity. Discrimination or diversity. War or world peace. The agenda doesn't change.
Whoever is talking. Whatever they are talking about. Whatever they claim to want. The agenda doesn't change.
Republican or Democrat. Conservative or Labour. Red or Blue. The agenda doesn't change.
The colour doesn't matter. Not even when it's green.
Happy Earth Day. [more]

Cattle in rural Oregon again found dead, mutilated amid strange circumstances
https://www.sott.net/article/451824-Cattle-in-rural-Oregon-again-found-dead-mutilated-amid-strange-circumstances
Cattle in Oregon are again showing up dead under strange circumstances.
Over the past three months, seven animals have been found mutilated on ranch land in central Oregon's Crook County, the Northwest News Network reported Tuesday. In most cases, the dead animal's sex organs, tongue or eyes are cut away cleanly and there is no blood.
The cases call to mind similar discoveries of five mutilated bulls in 2019 in Harney County, where five bulls were found dead in a 2-mile radius with their sex organs and tongues removed.
There have also been cases in recent years in Wasco, Umatilla, Wheeler and Lake counties in recent years. There have also been cases reported in Arizona. [more; no clue how or why]

Oklahoma governor signs bill that offers protections to drivers who hit protesters
https://www.yahoo.com/news/oklahoma-governor-signs-bill-protects-191442733.html
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) has signed into law a measure that provides protections to drivers who unintentionally injure or kill protesters while "fleeing a riot."
"A motor vehicle operator who unintentionally [how are you going to prove that?] causes injury or death to an individual shall not be criminally or civilly liable for the injury or death, if ... the injury or death of the individual occurred while the motor vehicle operator was fleeing from a riot," the bill says.
The bill also makes blocking a public roadway during a protest a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to a year in prison and a $5,000 fine.
The bill becomes effective on Nov. 1.
Between the lines: The legislation does not define the circumstances that make it "necessary" to "flee" the scene of a protest. [more]

ReplyDeleteBy all accounts the Postal Service has become the biggest scam in the world - pay whatever you want, it doesn't make a difference in time of delivery (if it gets there at all).
A large chunk of the so-called stimulus bill is going to fund the mountain of unfunded liabilities such as the pensions of various government positions (like the post office).
Lightning strike kills farm worker in Costa Blanca, Spain
https://www.sott.net/article/451864-Lightning-strike-kills-farm-worker-in-Costa-Blanca-Spain
Spring has definitely not sprung in Spain's Costa Blanca with unsettled weather bringing rain, strong winds and freezing temperatures for weeks now. On top of horror stories of flooding, electricity and internet blackouts and fallen trees, Murcia has suffered a terrible tragedy after a farm worker died during a storm this week.
Sadly, the raging storm claimed the life of a 45-year-old in the municipality of Fuente Alamo, who was reportedly picking spinach in the rural area of Balsapintada when he was struck dead by a bolt of lightning.
Unfortunately, most of the country is in for a few more days of bad weather. Belts of low pressure will bring prolonged rain to most of Spain until next Monday, with many regions having already suffered unseasonable hail storms and snow. [more]
Covid19: Prior infection vs vaccination
https://www.sott.net/article/451873-Covid19-Prior-infection-vs-vaccination [Sebastian Rushworth M.D.]
Ever since the beginning of the covid pandemic, one of the big topics of discussion has been whether infection results in lasting immunity. Since the advent of the vaccines, that has expanded in to a discussion about whether prior infection or vaccination provides a higher degree of immunity.
Back in December, I wrote about a study that showed that 90% of people who get covid still have antibodies six months out from infection. This was encouraging news. However, all it really did was show that most people keep their antibodies for a decent period of time after infection. It didn't actually tell us anything about the probability of being re-infected. [or, more importantly, if you're going to fucking DIE if you DO get re-infected]
it seems completely unnecessary for people who have had covid to get the vaccine. In fact, if the goal of governments is to get their populations to herd immunity as quickly as possible, it would make more sense to tell people who have had confirmed covid-19 that they don't need to get vaccinated. Vaccinating people who have already had covid-19 means delaying vaccination of people who haven't had it, which means delaying the onset of herd immunity.
[bottom line of the article]
even with unknown confounders pushing the results up or down, it is clear that prior infection provides a high degree of immunity.[more]

Japan Says Dumping Fukushima Radioactive Water in Pacific Ocean Is Now “Unavoidable”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/japan-says-dumping-fukushima-radioactive-water-pacific-ocean-unavoidable/5742316
With nuclear waste and fuel rods still contaminating the area, over one million tons of radioactive waste water continue to seep from the facility, according to The Japan Times, forcing authorities into what Suga describes as the “unavoidable” position of having to dump the water.
Officials claim that the water would be purified to the maximum extent possible, but environmentalist groups like Greenpeace warn that the water contains hazardous material that could damage human DNA and the health of marine life.

Medical Tyranny on US College Campuses

Schools mandating covid jabs are in breach of federal law and the Nuremberg Code.
The former requires that individuals may “accept or refuse administration of” experimental, unapproved drugs.
According to the Nuremberg Code, voluntary consent is required on all things related to health.
By ignoring the above, US schools that require students to be involuntarily jabbed for covid are in flagrant breach of these standards and contemptuous of the health and rights of their student body. [more; like what happened to the Constitution - it's ignored]

Afghanistan’s military “will certainly collapse” if the U.S. does not continue to support it following a withdrawal from the country, the top U.S. general in the Middle East told Congress on Thursday.
“My concern is the Afghans’ ability to hold ground” without U.S. aid, General Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, said during testimony on plans to withdraw the U.S. military. McKenzie added that “it is a matter of great concern to me whether or not the future government of Afghanistan will be able to” protect the U.S. embassy in Kabul “once we leave.”[more; nope; yet another war we didn't win - and now you wanna take on Russia and China?]

Russian troops start pulling back from Ukrainian border
https://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-troops-start-pulling-back-102709843.html
Russian troops began pulling back to their permanent bases Friday after a massive buildup that has caused Ukrainian and Western concerns.
On Thursday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu declared the sweeping maneuvers in Crimea and wide swaths of western Russia over, and ordered the military to bring the troops that took part in them back to their permanent bases by May 1.
Asked if the Kremlin thinks that the Russian troop pullback could help ease tensions with the United States, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the issues were not connected. [more]

The reason USPS has unfunded retirement accounts is because a few years ago, in an attempt to kill the post office, conservatives passed a law making it mandatory for USPS to fully fund pensions for 75 years into the future - unlike any business or organization or even the government itself. So USPS is in the unenviable position of being forced to use the profits of today to fund pensions of people who haven't even been born yet. I don't see how they ever climb out of that hole. I think that was the intent of that law.
