Event Update For 2017-09-11

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.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4872378/Gas-attack-Frankfurt-Airport-causes-breathing-problems.html

Quote: "Six people were mysteriously struck down with breathing problems at Frankfurt Airport on Monday morning. Firefighters were called to Terminal 1 after several people reported breathing problems at the check-in counters around 11am. The people were treated at the scene and after no trace of gas was detected the counters were reopened, according to The Local. The incident was initially reported by Bild as a gas attack, with the paper saying an unknown assailant had sprayed passengers with a mystery substance. However, it now appears that information was incorrect. Airport authorities say the exact cause of the incident is still unclear, but investigations are ongoing."

Quote: "Local media reported incident as a gas attack, though this was later debunked"

http://ottumwaradio.com/car-fires-lets-try-this-again/

Quote: "Ottumwa firefighters faced two vehicle fires in less than an hour Monday afternoon. Fire completely destroyed a pickup truck on Ingersol Street, on Ottumwa's southside. Firefighters responded just after 2 p.m. after a neighbor reported hearing an explosion and seeing the truck engulfed in flames. An Ottumwa Fire Department spokesman says that the truck had been driven just minutes before it caught fire. No one was injured. Firefighters responded to that fire as they were finishing up a car fire on Business 63 near Domino's. In that case, the car caught fire as it was being driven."

Quote: "A string of suspicious car fires in Ottumwa had authorities on alert when two car fires were reported within 30 minutes of each-other in Ottumwa. However, Deputy Fire Chief Cory Benge confirmed that neither of the car fires reported Monday are being treated as suspicious."

http://www.thebigwobble.org/2017/09/more-evidence-of-dying-north-pacific-as.html

Quote: "Hundreds of dead seabirds have been found washed ashore on sites from islands in the Bering Sea to villages north of the Bering Strait, signs of another large die-off in the warmed-up waters of the North Pacific Ocean. The dead birds are mostly northern fulmars and short-tailed shearwaters, species that migrate long distances to spend summers in waters off Alaska and other northern regions, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reported. Also in the mix are some kittiwakes, murres and auklets, the federal agency said."

Quote: "The Bering event is the latest in an 'unprecedented series of marine bird die-offs' over the last four years in waters from California to the Arctic, said Julia Parrish, executive director of the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team, or COASST, managed by the University of Washington. It indicates that the pattern is moving north, said Parrish, a professor at the UW's School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences."

There's an awful lot of bus accidents lately, killing a lot of people. Of course buses are just a subset of all the vehicles having problems, whether it's driver related or just erupting into flames. Substituting small planes is appropriate too, not to mention boats. So pretty much ANY means of travel or moving stuff (including people) around is increasingly dangerous. What do they all have in common? The atmosphere, which, as Jonny points out, is becoming saturated with toxic, flammable gases.

Here's some more ways to die:

Chris Hedges on the floods as the final stage of civilisation

The Great Flood
"We are entering this final phase of civilization, one in which we are slashing the budgets of the very agencies that are vital to prepare for the devastation ahead."
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/09/chris-hedges-on-floods-as-final-stage.html

Civilizations over the past 6,000 years have unfailingly squandered their futures through acts of colossal stupidity and hubris. We are probably not an exception.

Droughts, floods, famines and disease will eventually see the collapse of social cohesion in large parts of the globe, including U.S. coastal areas. The insecurity, hunger and desperation among the dispossessed of the earth will give rise to ad hoc militias, crime and increased acts of terrorism. The Pentagon report “An Abrupt Climate Change Scenario and Its Implications for United States Security” is blunt. “Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,” it grimly concludes.

The damage suffered by Houston, Tampa and Miami is not an anomaly. It is the beginning of the end. Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee. [more]

Atlantic storm update - 09/12/2017

This year hurricane strength and course have become more difficult to forecast and hurricanes are acting in strange ways.

Weird: Remnants of Irma Now in Mississippi, Entering Louisiana

The remnants of Hurricane Irma are not doing what forecasters thought. Weather experts believed the remnants would move northwest into Tennessee. Instead, they are moving west/southwest and now cover Mississippi, are entering Louisiana and heading back toward the Gulf!

One wonders if the storm could re-form upon entering Gulf Waters?

Well, technically, you CAN eat gold. It's completely non-reactive and it won't be digested, and you'll spend more of your body's energy trying to digest it, but it won't hurt you. But you'd probably get a tiny bit of nourishment from eating cellulose-based fiat currency in paper form. A one-dollar bill would be worth as much nutritional value as a hundred-dollar bill too, so you could really stretch your household food budget out that way, once there's no ACTUAL food.

Hey Jonny, I'm from Adelaide (Kaurna country), where the bus caught on fire. West Terrace, on the edge of the CBD, is about 9kms from the actual beach... but I guess that doesn't make much difference in the end, huh?
It was just a bit weird reading "coastal Adelaide", since the main metro area now sprawls 80+km along the coast; we wouldn't consider the CBD to be coastal, is all!
Semantics, right... yet hydrogen sulphide doesn't care about that!
Best,
