Event Update For 2017-08-01

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://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20170802-59284-USA

Quote: "One pond in Barnstable has been closed to swimming, and three more have been placed on advisory status due to high levels of cyanobacteria, a toxic algae that can be harmful to humans and pets. Schoolhouse Pond in Hyannisport has been closed, due to toxic algae that has collected and formed a thick film - like soup or paint - on the surface. This condition presents moderate to severe risks for people, and a higher risk for pets according to the town of Barnstable's website. Lovells Pond in Marstons Mills, Long Pond in Centerville and No Bottom Pond in Cotuit have been identified as having toxic algae present that has not yet collected on the surface, presenting a low to minimal health risk to people, and a higher risk for pets."

Note: No need to worry about that. The kids won't be around either...
