Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: 2013

Event Update For 2013-12-31

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.

Note: So in just two days, that was two transformer fires, an odor investigation, 10 illness calls, 6 calls about difficulty breathing, 5 people having seizures, 3 people having heart attacks, and 4 people losing consciousness. And look at the timing on some of the sequences, like two people having seizures within one minute, two heart attacks within 19 minutes, two people losing consciousness within 3 minutes, etc. Columbus isn't a gigantic city either; it's a town with just 44,000 people. This town probably isn't even exceptional. I bet if I looked, I would find cities all over experiencing these same things, especially near coasts and lakes and in valleys and the like. As the atmospheric contamination intensifies, this can only get worse...

Quote: "After a partial, precautionary evacuation of about 300 residents, shifting winds early in the evening prompted the Cass County Sheriff's Office to recommend that the entire town of 2,400 people leave, along with anyone within a 5-mile radius, the Fargo-based Inforum newspaper reported."

Quote: "Smoke could be seen 15 miles away. Residents reported hearing at least six explosions. 'I looked out the window and all of a sudden the train car tipped over and the whole thing was engulfed in flames and it just exploded,' said 13-year-old Hannah Linnard, who was at her friend's house about half a mile from the derailment."

http://www.breaking911.com/breaking-large-explosion-heard-in-bronx-pelham-bay-park-westchester-county-bergen-county-nj/

Quote: "People also heard the explosion or whatever it was in Yonkers, Bergen County in New Jersey, and as far away as Glen Cove on Long Island."

Quote: "Maria Castro, a Bronx resident, said that the explosion shook her brick house. 'Those were definitely not fireworks!' she said. 'Every single house in Country Club shook.' Castro described the impact as 'terrifying' and 'a huge explosion.' 'It felt like a car crashed into my house!' Added Kelly MCormick: 'This whole "large box of fireworks was detonated" excuse seems thin. You don’t feel an explosion in Westchester from fireworks in the Bronx.'"

Note: Heh, doesn't sound like people buy the fireworks story. Can't blame them. To cause that much shaking, across that broad of an area, you'd need a Timothy McVeigh-sized truck full of explosives, maybe more. A cloud of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide could cause an explosion like this though, and this area is right along the coast, and right off the coast there are 2.5 gigatons of dissociating methane hydrates. That's enough explosive force just in that one deposit to wipe out about 2500 good-sized cities if efficiently distributed (which, fortunately, won't happen)...

Note: And a huge inferno just burned hundreds of cars at an auto salvage yard in Oak Ridge (New Jersey), near the Oak Ridge Reservoir, as mentioned in the 2013-12-28 update. That fire may STILL be burning. From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

Quote: "Anne Arundel County firefighters responded to two apparently unrelated vehicle fires Monday morning on Route 50 near Davidsonville. Firefighters responded to westbound Route 50 about a mile before Route 424 around 7:20 a.m., where they found the first vehicle on fire. As they were preparing to leave the scene after bringing the blaze under control, firefighters discovered a second vehicle fire farther up the road around 7:45 a.m..."

Note: Appearances can be deceiving. These two fires were definitely related by two things: geographic area and the atmosphere. As the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane plumes increase in number, size and concentration, this is one of the things we should expect to see: multiple vehicles igniting in the same general area during a compressed timeframe. This isn't the first time this has happened...

Quote: "It happened around 7 p.m. near West Florida Avenue and South Platte River Drive in southwest Denver."

Note: He almost ended up in the corpses section. Lots of people are burning to death in vehicles now...

2013-12-30 - Goat born with human face in Likoni Mombasa (Kenya):

Quote: "The goat is also turning the usually quiet small town upside down as locals fear that the goat was born as a result of a man having sex with the goat."

Note: Hah, doesn't work that way. But as the planet's protective ozone layer dissolves, the Sun is looking whiter, and the planet is being bombarded with increasing amounts of UV radiation, which damages DNA and RNA. To replace missing data, it appears Mother Nature is able to splice in genetic data, probably via passing viruses (which is the same method used in gene therapy), and that data may not be from the same species. I call these hybrid creatures genetic chimeras.

That mermaid found a while back? Possibly a human-fish chimera. Bigfoot? Possibly human-bear chimera. Legends of satyrs, minotaurs, dragons, etc, may all derive from rare and isolated appearances of genetic chimeras. This problem is probably, at least in part, why they chemtrail over highly-populated areas - to prevent widespread DNA/RNA damage, because obviously once lots of people start giving birth to pig-people and goat-people and lizard-people and the like, people are gonna wake up, at least to that small part of the threat we face.

A doctor recently hypothesized that homo sapiens are the result of a blending between primate and pig, which would explain many things, like our protruding noses, hairlessness, and fatty skin layer. (The latter is what allowed us to spread across the world. Primates lack that fatty layer and so they're stuck in warmer climates.) That very well could be the case, not via sex, but through this damage-induced gene-splicing mechanism, which is likely just Mother Nature's way of preserving complexity and evolutionary advances, especially in hard times, like, say, during planetary extinction events.

It could also be that it is the male that suffers DNA damage then his DNA gets spliced, so his sperm would then be a carrier of another species' genetic information. So a male primate who has suffered genetic damage comes down with swine flu (virus with pig and human DNA), his own DNA gets spliced and he then creates sperm with pig-infused DNA, has sex with a female primate, and pig-primate chimeras are born. Primates might very well take care of 'hairless apes' - being not terribly unlike them, after all - and give them a chance at life. That would mean that the original 'Adam and Eve' may have been pig-DNA-contaminated primates born to a female primate after she had sex with a male whose sperm was contaminated with pig DNA. Some people have mocked that scientist, calling the hypothesis the 'Pig-F##ked-A-Monkey Hypothesis', but SEX across species isn't required, nor would it work. That was really the only serious flaw with his hypothesis: he proposed no mechanism for the mixing of the two types of DNA. Well, here it is: Mother Nature has her own natural 'gene therapy' process, also using viruses, and the probability that this process occurs on a per-reproductive-event basis increases as the amount of damage incurred by DNA/RNA increases, for whatever reason. That would also explain our inability to find our evolutionary ancestors, the fabled 'missing link'. If this is how we came to be then no one will EVER find the missing link because there IS no missing link: we went from primate to pig-primate in one step.

This problem could prove to be calamitous for human life. We could see human DNA infiltrating a lizard species that reproduces via parthenogenesis, which means they'd only need one individual to start laying clutches of eggs. And if they were smart enough - from our DNA - and if they also had hands with opposable thumbs? Very dangerous. And if they were small, even MORE dangerous. That could easily resemble an 'alien invasion', except these 'aliens' would only have whatever technology they could figure out from watching us or from stealing our stuff.

Quite a lot of interesting 'strange creature' stuff out there in internet-land the last few years. Humanoid something seen on a deer cam. A 'wolf' that stood up on two legs and charged a hunter. A snake with a human head. A snake with wings, like a little dragon. A tiny humanoid found in Mexico, which lived for a number of years. Etc, etc. I don't dwell on it, but I do keep my eyes open, because I believe we're seeing Mother Nature implementing her 'gene therapy' process on creatures all over now, as UV levels rise and DNA/RNA sustains more damage. Fukushima might also accelerate this process; I would not doubt that. So you just never know what weird new creature is gonna wash ashore or be seen these days...
