Event Update For 2017-07-17

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.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2017/jul/18/wildfires-across-southern-europe-in-pictures

Quote: "Croatian firefighters battled for a full day to control a forest fire along the Adriatic coast that has damaged and destroyed buildings in villages around the city of Split, reaching the Split suburbs late on Monday. Local media reported that the blaze, which started shortly after midnight, has spread across 20 km and first threatened the villages of Srinjine, Sitno Gornje and Sitno Donje. One death has been reported, although it was not clear whether the cause was a heart attack or smoke inhalation. By the evening hours the blaze had reached eastern suburbs of Split. Some parts of the city were without water or electricity."

Quote: "Croatian TV reported that the blaze near the key port and tourist center of Split has reached houses in some parts of the city, with residents joining firefighters in efforts to contain the flames."

Quote: "Scenes in Srinjinje, Gornje Sitno, and Donje Sitno and Žrnovnica have been described as 'apocalyptic', with a number of houses burnt down already in Žrnovnica. There has also already been one fatality from the blazes."

http://www.sott.net/article/356657-Wildfires-rage-along-the-Adriatic-coast-in-Croatia-and-Montenegro

Quote: "Montenegro has asked for international help to fight wildfires raging along its Adriatic coastline, forcing the evacuation of dozens of tourists and campers, authorities said July 17. 'The situation at Lustica is critical. The interior ministry of Montenegro asked for the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism' to be activated to help extinguish the fire, the government said in a statement. Mayors of the threatened coastal towns of Kotor, Tivat, and Herceg Novi urged the government to ask neighboring nations -- Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia-- to send fire-extinguishing aircraft."

Note: I doubt Croatia's gonna be able to send help, seeing as their coastline is also on fire...

June of 2017 Was Third Hottest on Record for Globe
https://robertscribbler.com/2017/07/18/june-of-2017-was-third-hottest-on-record-for-globe/

According to NOAA, June of 2017 was the third hottest such month in the global climate record since temperature tracking began in 1880. For NASA, June was also the third hottest on record with June of 2016 settling in at 1st hottest, and 2015 and 1998 tied as second hottest. Overall, global temperatures were about 0.91 degrees Celsius warmer than late 19th Century averages in the NASA record and about 1.02 degrees Celsius warmer than the same time period in the NOAA record.

Hundreds of islanders reported feeling an earthquake-like movement about 10pm, with some in Jersey and even in Nomandy, France, saying that they felt it.

British Geological Survey seismologist Davie Galloway confirmed the vibrations were too slow to have been an earthquake.

Instead the vibrations were measured to be at the speed of sound, which led to the conclusion that it was likely to have been a sonic event, such as a plane going supersonic. [more]

What strikes one again and again whilst reading 'Hidden History' is the ring of truth that resonates from every page, from every revelation. That such a tiny, elite group of individuals, completely beyond democratic control, could determine the fate - and deaths - of millions should shock us. It should, but it doesn't really. It doesn't because we see the same phenomenon occurring now, repeatedly, before our very eyes. Indeed, the current state of 'permanent war' is, more or less, the unconscious condition of modernity itself. [more]

https://www.sott.net/article/356786-Paranormal-journalist-claims-to-have-scientific-evidence-that-aliens-lived-alongside-humans-on-Earth

At a press conference last week, Mexican paranormal journalist Jamie Maussan claimed the five mummified bodies discovered over the last two months appear "closer to reptiles than humans."

Now, Maussan, who has devoted much of his life to investigating extraterrestrial phenomenons, says x-ray, DNA and carbon 14 analysis of the remains further points to the presence of intelligent life.

"We confirmed with scientific evidence the existence of beings from another world," said Maussan to RT en Español. "Before it was a possibility, now it is a reality," he added when speaking about the existence of aliens on Earth.

The mummified burial of the bodies also suggests the 'aliens' once coexisted with our ancestors, according to Maussan.

"[These] mummies were buried in human tombs, in sacred places," said Maussan. "This means that they had coexisted with our ancestors, were not enemies and had, to a certain extent, a degree of respect between both races or cultures." [more!]

http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2017/07/risk-crash.html

In a nutshell, what S&P 500 implied volatility at 9.5 is telling us is that if the casino falls (or rises) less than 9.5% in the coming year, then on average hedges lose money. If however, the casino falls more than 9.5% at any point, then someone is going to shit a brick, because options are not priced for that scenario.

Satellite snafu masked true sea-level rise for decades
Revised tallies confirm that the rate of sea-level rise is accelerating as the Earth warms and ice sheets thaw.
http://www.nature.com/news/satellite-snafu-masked-true-sea-level-rise-for-decades-1.22312

The numbers didn’t add up. Even as Earth grew warmer and glaciers and ice sheets thawed, decades of satellite data seemed to show that the rate of sea-level rise was holding steady — or even declining.
Now, after puzzling over this discrepancy for years, scientists have identified its source: a problem with the calibration of a sensor on the first of several satellites launched to measure the height of the sea surface using radar. Adjusting the data to remove that error suggests that sea levels are indeed rising at faster rates each year. [more]
