Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2017-09-27

Event Update For 2017-09-27

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.loopnewsbarbados.com/content/man-fire-dies-scene-st-joseph
http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/100884/burnt-body-st-joseph-village

Quote: "Last night in St. Elizabeth Village, St. Joseph it was like a scene from a movie with a tragic and unfortunate ending. Sometime around 10:42 pm, on Wednesday, September 27, 2017, police received a report of a person being on fire at St. Elizabeth Village, St. Joseph. On responding to the area, the charred body of a man believed to be in his sixties (60’s) was discovered lying on his back."

Note: Sounds similar to the man that recently burst into flame and burned to death near a bridge in coastal London (Britain), mentioned in the 2017-09-21 update...

http://www.kentonline.co.uk/thanet/news/thousands-left-without-electricity-132819/

Quote: "A power cut in Ramsgate last night through to this morning (September 27-28) was caused by an explosion in a substation. Some 2039 properties, mostly in the town and seafront, were affected by the outage at 11.43pm. Many people reported hearing a loud bang before the electricity went off. Some properties are still without power this morning. Kent Police were called to a town substation last night and have confirmed there was an explosion."

http://ksn.com/2017/09/27/wichita-elementary-school-evacuated-due-to-smell-of-gas/

Quote: "Update: People have been let back into a Wichita elementary school after the smell of gas. Clark Elementary School was evacuated this afternoon because of the odor. A Wichita Public Schools spokesperson said the gas was from a sewer trap and there was never a gas leak."

Note: No gas leak, just some poison gas infiltrating the school via the sewer trap. If it smelled like rotten eggs and it came through the sewer trap, that was hydrogen sulfide. A woman was gassed to death in her home by hydrogen sulfide that had infiltrated her home via the sewer because of a non-functioning sewer trap in Kansas City (Missouri), mentioned in the 2013-07-04 update...

First off, hat's off to my HERO FRAN as she saved a dog from drowning!! Attaway Fran! Always good to hear from you.

Rolling along to the end of September (and we're still here)!

All kinda buildings burning up and a coupla trains can't stay on the tracks on this day, along with the usual people parking under water (where they're guaranteed not to get a ticket).

Saw Flux Capacitor at Sprout last night - amazing trio (keyboards, drums and guitar). Their songs can go on for 45 min. at a time - like the ol' Dead concerts. They probably have stuff on soundcloud.

Tropical forests have flipped from sponges to sources of carbon dioxide
https://www.sciencenews.org/article/tropical-forests-have-flipped-sponges-sources-carbon-dioxide

A new study based on analyses of satellite imagery of tropical Asia, Africa and the Americas suggests that tropical forests contribute more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than they remove. [more; hat tip to Kassy @ Scribbler's comments]

Letting It Ride On A Black Swan Event
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2017/09/betting-it-all-on-black-swan-event.html

Normally, gamblers seek to AVOID Black Swan events, today's gamblers are betting it ALL on a (continuing) Black Swan event

"September is set to be the 11th straight month in which the S&P 500 has either risen, or has fallen by less than 0.1 percent"

Unfortunately, as we see below, despite being the least volatile year for the S&P 500 in decades, this has been the MOST volatile period for the VIX: There have been more large one day VIX spikes this year than in any year since 2008 (bottom pane). I am guessing that has a direct correlation with the RECORD short futures bet on volatility.

In other words, regression to the mean involving a commonplace two percent downside move in the S&P 500 will blow this entire shit show sky high. And it stands to reason that record misallocation of capital, Fed balance sheet rolloff, the real Forrest Trump, L'il Kim, all of the above, could cause that to happen.

But as long as they're having fun, why spoil the party? [more]
