Event Update For 2014-04-30





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.

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=LS-20140501-43577-USA

Note: More subsidence problems in coastal areas. Not a good sign when taken in context with the methane clathrates dissolving off the East Coast. As the clathrates dissolve, the East Coast is likely to experience subsidence problems like sinkholes and landslides. Over time, as the process accelerates, the entire East Coast may be rendered uninhabitable by subsidence, fires, explosions and poisoning...

Quote: "It's pretty much complete destruction inside this facility. It was a huge explosion..."

Quote: "It's unclear what caused the explosion, but people in the area reported a strong smell of natural gas before the blast."

Note: Natural gas doesn't actually HAVE a smell, so they add stinky mercaptan to it, which has a 'rotten egg' odor. Hydrogen sulfide also has a 'rotten egg' odor at low concentrations, so people are confusing the two smells. Hydrogen sulfide is also corrosive to steel and concrete, so it will not only cause explosions and fires itself, but it will also corrode natural gas pipelines and then serve as the igniter for natural gas via its reactivity with rusty iron/steel and electrified copper. It'll also corrode sewer and water pipes and cause more sinkholes too, in addition to causing more natural gas leaks. Florida is downwind of the Gulf of Mexico, North America's sewer...

http://www.thexradio.com/news/78-local-news/11028-trucker-found-dead-in-rig-in-effingham

Note: Quite a few truckers dropping dead in their trucks these days. Actually, quite a few people being found dead in vehicles of any kind. Hydrogen sulfide can knock you dead with one breath, it's coming from outdoors, and being in a vehicle is very close to the same as being outdoors, especially if windows are rolled down or AC or heat are being used...

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/11185689.Tributes_after_homeless_man_found_dead_at_flats/

Note: Homeless, so he spent a lot of time outdoors, which is where you're most likely to breathe in some deadly hydrogen sulfide. Sometimes hydrogen sulfide kills you with a delayed reaction of hours or even days, so you can be poisoned - with as little as one breath - in one spot, but then drop dead in another spot...

2014-04-30 - Man, 24, drops dead standing up in hotel room in Elko (Nevada):

Quote: "David Powell, 24, was found dead in a room at Stockmen’s Hotel & Casino on Friday. When his girlfriend returned to the room, Powell was in a standing position at the foot of the bed, bent forward at the waist and facing down on the bed. When she touched him, he fell to the floor, Elko police said."

Note: Pretty freaky. Probably got poisoned outdoors somewhere then collapsed dead when he went back to his room, and it was just some bizarre fluke that he died in this position...

Note: Most likely lost consciousness while driving, then the car plunged into river. That's almost always going to be fatal, since breathing is an involuntary reflex and if you're unconscious in water then you breathe water until dead...

  1. Jonny: how long are the authorities going to ignore this? Hey, maybe they know and since they can't do anything about it - they ignore it and "hope." Great strategy.

    Infrastructure getting fried, land sinking and taking homes and vehicles with it, people dropping dead all over the place, explosions and fires in buildings and vehicles, and airline/flying troubles - and now we add the on-going uptick in earthquake and volcano activity, steady economic erosion and emergent diseases to erratic weather and climate change and the future looks to be problematic going forward.

    There's more and more craziness every day. No place to run, nowhere to hide.

  2. oh, I almost forgot, just to add to the corroboration of JJF Theory:

    http://a4rglobalmethanetracking.blogspot.com/2014/04/global-mean-methane-hits-1810-ppb-12.html?utm_content=buffer33931&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

    Global Mean Methane Hits 1810 ppb - 12 ppb above 2013

    During the last few weeks, global mean methane levels have been creeping higher than 2013. On April 27, 2014, 0-12 hrs, the global mean methane concentration hit 1810 ppb at 469 mb, which is 12 ppb higher than last year for the same date and time.

    The same level in 2013 was not reached until July 31st. To demonstrate the change, here is the April 27, 2013 highest global mean reading which was at 586 mb. The 2014 readings follow.

    The primary contributors to the 2014 increase seem to be the early snow melt in Scandinavia and Siberia, and the anomalously high temperatures in China, which may be boosting methane production in thawed soils. The April 27, 2014 image is below. [read the rest]
