Event Update For 2017-03-29

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.

Quote: "As President Donald Trump pushes for the Pentagon to buy more of Boeing's St. Louis-made F-18 aircraft, the U.S. Navy is grappling with an escalating problem: Pilots suffering potentially dangerous oxygen deprivation or a loss of cabin pressure in the fighter jets. All F-18 models, including the Super Hornet that Trump has championed, have shown steady annual increases in what the Navy calls "physiological episodes," according to service testimony obtained by Bloomberg News. What's more, the data show that incidents of oxygen deprivation and cabin decompression have escalated in the last year, while service officials work to determine the root cause of the in-flight problems."

Now LOOK - ya cain't jes' have us lookin' in wonder at the first story of a fahr in a gol-ang REINSTORM, an' en have us SPEWIN' COFFEE at the name a that thar' Thai town! T'Ain't fair! [it was laugh-out loud funny, though, Jonny - good 'un]

The freakin' PACIFIC OCEAN is dying - and that same radiation is being transferred around the globe via the normal circulation routes, killing off life everywhere. That was really hard to take, though I knew i'd see this someday (when Fukushima happened). The day has arrived.

I saw that article about the interstate collapsing due to fire, but you already have it so I won't post it.

Man, so many people dying around water, while driving and flying too! Geez. 2017 is a noticeable uptick in destruction and death (and not just people) so far.

Another comet brightens and now visible in the Northern hemisphere
https://www.sott.net/article/346801-Another-comet-brightens-and-now-visible-in-the-Northern-hemisphere

Terry Lovejoy's latest discovery, C/2017 E4 Lovejoy.

Discovered on March 10th at magnitude +12, early observations suggested a peak magnitude of +9 in mid-April, assuming it didn't crumble apart en route to an April 23rd perihelion.

Forget that. This fuzzball's already at magnitude +7 - 7.5 and a snap to see in 50-mm binoculars. [more]

A Halo of Storms and Heatwaves — New Study Confirms that Global Warming is Wrecking the Northern Hemisphere Jet Stream
https://robertscribbler.com/2017/03/30/a-halo-of-storms-and-heatwaves-new-study-confirms-that-global-warming-is-wrecking-the-northern-hemisphere-jet-stream/

The Earth is warming, the weather is growing more extreme, and from the observational perspective, it appears that the Northern Hemisphere Jet Stream has undergone some seriously disturbing changes. Over the past five years, this subject has been one that’s spurred heated debate among scientists, meteorologists, and global climate and weather watchers. Now, a new model study finds that it’s likely that the Jet Stream is being significantly altered by human-forced climate change and that this alteration is helping to drive extreme weather events like the 2003 European heat wave, the 2010 Pakistan flood and Russian heat wave, the 2011 Texas heat wave and recent floods in Europe.

The Ticking Time Bomb That Will Wipe Out Virtually Every Pension Fund In America
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-ticking-time-bomb-that-will-wipe-out-virtually-every-pension-fund-in-America

[I mentioned this a few years ago to a friend who has a real well-paying city finance job in Philly, that when he's ready to retire, his pension that he worked toward for over 20 years won't be there. He didn't believe me.]

Are millions of Americans about to see the big, juicy pensions that they were counting on to fund their golden years go up in flames in the biggest financial disaster in U.S. history? When Bloomberg published an editorial entitled “Pension Crisis Too Big for Markets to Ignore“, it simply confirmed what a lot of people already knew to be true. Pension funds all over America are woefully underfunded, and they have been pouring mind boggling amounts of money into very risky investments such as Internet stocks and commercial mortgages. Just like with subprime mortgages in 2008, this is a crisis that everyone can see coming well in advance, and yet nothing is being done about it. [more]

India under intense heat wave: Temperatures soaring to abnormal levels well ahead of the summer season: Maharashtra records record 46.5C (114F)
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2017/03/india-under-intense-heat-wave.html

In fact, the whole of India is reeling under intense heat wave with temperatures soaring to abnormal levels well ahead of the summer season.

Last year thousands died from the heat in India where cars and roads began to melt from the heat [more; how will it effect crops and wildlife?]

Exploitation Bias
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-richest-men-in-babylon.html

The reason why most people don't see this coming:
Survivor Bias: "the logical error of concentrating on the people that "survived" some process and inadvertently intentionally overlooking those that did not because of their lack of visibility wealth"

Karl Marx predicted that capitalism would self-destruct. It was up to Jeff Bezos & Company to prove him right. And they succeeded, with overwhelming support from a reserve currency. Which dumbed everyone down to the level of a stoned doorknob. The consumption oriented lifestyle has been arbitraged away by corporations, for fun and profit. [more]

Unexplained explosion coming from a galaxy 10.7 billion light-years away
https://www.sott.net/article/346851-Unexplained-explosion-coming-from-a-galaxy-10-7-billion-light-years-away

Scientists have taken the deepest X-ray image of our Universe to date - and within it, they've found evidence of a huge, unexplained explosion coming from a galaxy around 10.7 billion light-years away.

The galaxy itself appears to be fairly faint and unremarkable, but in October 2014, it suddenly became at least 1,000 times brighter over a few hours, before fading into oblivion again. No astronomical phenomenon that scientists currently know of can explain the behaviour.

The mysterious explosion was so powerful that, for a few minutes, the X-ray source produced 1,000 times more energy than all the stars in that galaxy.

No event similar has ever been detected anywhere else in the Universe. [more]
