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.

Fabulous Friday Jonny, everyone.
ReplyDeletePA keeping up with JJFH incidents as per today's report.
Now that June has ended (already?), here are the stats for JJFH events in Hull, UK and garbage truck fires:
There were (record) 33 garbage trucks destroyed in 7 days (!) while, like last year, there were less JJFH events in Hull, UK in June - 5 events in as many days. So, after 6 months, we have a total of 87 garbage trucks destroyed by fire in 47 days and 48 JJFH episodes in Hull, UK over 42 days. i won't bother with the averages (since 2017 when i started keeping track) until year's end (if i live that long).

An entire village in British Columbia, Canada was devoured by fire, which ignited shortly after the country’s all-time high temperature record was smashed amid a heatwave in the western part of the country.
The fire reduced the small historic village of Lytton, located about 260km (162 miles) northeast of Vancouver, to little more than smoldering debris, officials said on Thursday, a day after around 1,000 people were told to evacuate.
Two hydro stations, railroads, and highways were hit hard, he added.
There have been reports of injuries and missing people. Police said on Thursday that it was still unsafe to enter the area, noting that the police precinct was destroyed by the fire as well. No deaths from the fire have been reported so far.
Dramatic footage from the village shows flames ripping through the homes and other buildings, as people rushed to flee the city, braving the flames and near-impenetrable smoke. [more]

Taliban has won the war in Afghanistan, says Lord Dannatt as UK and US troops pull out

[have we won ANY "war" (skirmish, police action, etc.) since Grenada? seems like all we do is waste men and materiel]
The Taliban has “prevailed” in its battle with the West in Afghanistan, the former head of the British Army has said, as it emerged all UK and US troops will be withdrawn on Sunday.
Writing in The Telegraph, General Lord Dannatt said the mission had been intended to give the Afghan people the choice of a more “moderate and peaceful” life.
“Ultimately, Taliban force of arms has prevailed, and the people of that country have been denied the chance to choose a better way of life,” Lord Dannatt said. “Tragically, a descent into the chaos of civil war seems highly likely.” [more; "hey, ya fucked up, you trusted us!" (from Animal House)]

The War on Reality
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/454954-The-War-on-Reality
In the UK, Germany, and many other countries, and in numerous states throughout the US, a "state of emergency" remains in effect. An apocalyptic virus is on the loose. Mutant variants are spreading like wildfire. Most of society is still shut down or subject to emergency health restrictions. People are still walking around in public with plastic face shields and medical-looking masks. The police are showing up at people's homes to arrest them for "illegally gathering outdoors." Any deviation from official reality is being censored by the Internet corporations. Constitutional rights are still suspended. Entire populations are being coerced into being injected with experimental "vaccines." Pseudo-medical segregation systems are being brought online. And so on ... you're familiar with the details.
when GloboCap rolled out the "New Normal" reality, they weren't exactly starting from scratch. Millions of people — not just Americans, because the War on Populism was a global campaign — were already living in a new reality in which facts no longer mattered at all, where things that never happened officially happened, and other things that obviously happened never happened, not officially, or were "far-right extremist conspiracy theories," "fake news," or "disinformation," or whatever, despite the fact that people knew that they weren't.
If you repeated that process long enough, eventually, nothing would mean anything anymore, because everything could potentially mean anything ... at which point, you could basically tell people anything you wanted and they would go along with it, because what the hell difference would it make? A narcissistic billionaire ass-clown could be a Russian agent and literally Hitler. A half-assed riot could be an "insurrection." Children could be born "systemically racist." Men could menstruate.
But wait ... it's gets better.
You could stage an apocalyptic global pandemic that only happened in certain countries, or in certain parts of certain countries, and that more or less mirrored natural mortality, and that didn't drastically increase historical death rates, but was nonetheless totally apocalyptic.
Perfectly healthy people could become "medical cases." You could count anyone who died of anything as having died of your apocalyptic virus. You could tell people in no uncertain terms that medical-looking masks will not protect them from viruses, and then turn around and tell them that they will, and then, later, publicly admit you were lying in order to manipulate them, and then deny you ever said that, and tell them to wear masks.
You could experimentally "vaccinate" millions of people whose risk of becoming seriously ill or dying from your apocalyptic virus was minuscule or non-existent, and kill tens or hundreds of thousands in the process, and the people whose brains you had methodically broken would thank you for murdering their friends and neighbors, and then rush out to their local discount drugstore to experimentally "vaccinate" their own kids and post pictures of it on the Internet.
At that point, you wouldn't really have to worry about "populist uprisings," or "terrorism," or any other type of insurgent activity, because the vast majority of the global population would be scramble-headed automatons who were totally incapable of independent thought, and who had no idea what was real and what wasn't, so just repeated whatever new script you fed them like customer-service representatives on Haldol.
It doesn't get much better than that for globally hegemonic ideological systems! [more]
