Event Update For 2014-12-17





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.

2014-12-17 - Unknown illness hits village in Kazakhstan, people sleep for days, hallucinations, memory loss, dizziness, nausea:

http://www.sott.net/article/290232-Villagers-in-Kazakhstan-are-falling-asleep-en-masse-for-no-apparent-reason

Quote: "A mysterious sleeping illness has fallen on the residents of a remote Kazakhstan village which caused sufferers to sleep for days at a time. For the past four years, residents in the village of Kalachi have been afflicted by the disorder, which also causes dizziness, nausea, hallucinations and memory loss. So far more than 100 of the town's 600 residents have experienced the illness, the Russian Times reports. 'I'm weak, my legs feel heavy, as if I'm wearing a hundred pairs of boots, and my head is spinning,' one sufferer said. Other patients claim they behave 'like they're drunk' and that it's difficult to call for help as 'your tongue gets twisted'."

Quote: "Classified as an encephalopathy of unclear origin - the highfalutin term for a weird brain disorder we can't figure out - villagers who do not simply keel over while moving or working report feeling weakness, dizziness, and memory and motor control loss. At least two children have reported hallucinations as well: Misha Plyukhin saw flying horses and light bulbs, his mother with eight eyes and a trunk, and snakes and worms in his bed, trying to eat his arms; Rudolf Boyarinos cannot remember his visions, but four people had to calm and subdue him as he screamed 'monsters!' The sleep is so deep that some locals fear an old man they assumed was dead could have been buried alive."

Note: That sounds very much like hydrogen sulfide poisoning. The memory loss and the difficulty speaking (speech center of the brain) and probably the hallucinations too - that's brain damage, indicative of a neurotoxin.

It was an event in Kazakhstan in 2010 that got me started waking up to the threat - 12,000 endangered saiga antelope dropped dead on May 27 in 2010 in Kazakhstan. They all died in the same area. Since they're grazers, that doesn't happen due to disease - they'd have been scattered over a wide area as the weakest died and then the next weakest and so on, as they moved. So whatever killed them did so very quickly and was 100% fatal. There aren't a lot of things can insta-kill a huge herd of 12,000 antelope, but a cloud of hydrogen sulfide is one thing that can. Can't really think of anything else that could do that. The thousands of people who were recently hit by a cloud of 'toxic gas of unknown origin' and fled their homes puking in the wee hours in coastal Rayong (Indonesia) almost had the same thing happen to them, mentioned in the 2014-06-08 update...
