Event Update For 2017-10-19





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.

2017-10-19 - Unknown human-cat creature found in Malaysia:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/police-forced-deny-rumours-bizarre-11362290
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/police-deny-rumours-cat-like-creature-human-face-real-pictures-go-viral-145232307.html
http://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4714321/cat-creature-human-face-rumours-police-deny/

Note: The authorities say it's a toy. Look at the video and watch it move, arch its neck, try to bite the hand of the person holding it. The latter indicates awareness of its surroundings. That's no toy. And if it were a toy then they'd have had no problem pointing to a web page where you could purchase one. Did they do that? Nope. I looked for it online myself and couldn't find anything remotely like that for sale anywhere, and if someone was selling these, they'd have ads up all over the place and they'd be making gobs of money and a name for themselves. So the authorities made up the toy story to hide the fact that this thing is real. I'm from the Show Me State - if they want to say it's a toy, fine, then show me a page where I can order one. It appears to be not a toy, but a genetic chimera, human-cat perhaps, or human-something anyway, something with claws and fangs, which was probably abandoned by its mother...

2017-10-19 - Unknown foul odor hits Cedar Rapids (Iowa):
http://www.kcrg.com/content/news/Residents-upset-over-unpleasant-odor-in-Cedar-Rapids-451710863.html

Quote: "'Strange smell,' said Cedar Rapids Resident Bo Johnson. 'It's smelly. It's stinky.' 'It was nauseating,' said Tara Farris. 'It was really bad.' 'It just smelled awful. I thought somebody had passed gas,' said Trenton Richard. 'I don't know what it was but it was the most disgusting thing ever.' It's the sniff without a source that has people in Cedar Rapids on edge."

2017-10-19 - Unknown 'smell of gas' hits train in coastal Glasgow (Scotland):
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/man-says-smell-gas-cambuslang-11375700
http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=257322200973795&story_fbid=1560398590666143

Quote: "The rail company closed Dalmarnock Train Station at around 3.30pm on Thursday and cancelled low level services leaving from Glasgow Central Station while emergency services investigated a reported smell of gas. No gas was found and services resumed at 6.20pm."

Quote: "When we were passing through the tunnel between Bridgeton and Dalmarnock the smell of gas was intoxicating and I felt sick. Some folk were joking about not striking a match but I didn’t feel very comfortable passing through it. It was really strong and filled the whole train."

Quote: "A spokeswoman for ScotRail Alliance said investigations showed the smell was not the result of a gas leak."

Note: Excellent, not natural gas. So probably just some poison gas then...

2017-10-19 - Boat bursts into flame at 5:22 AM while parked at home, fire spreads to home, in Wenatchee (Washington):
http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2017/oct/19/police-to-investigate-house-fire/

Quote: "A fire that began Thursday morning in a boat and then spread to a house has been turned over to Wenatchee police for investigation. 'With no obvious ignition sources, the fire is suspicious in nature,' said Fire District 1 Chief Mike Burnett."

Note: Seeing as the AIR can spontaneously ignite now, not all ignitions are going to have obvious sources. This guy might want to figure out what's going on if he wants to stay alive. Odds are that he won't do either. These are the 916th and 917th boats/ships to burn/explode in 2017...

  1. Last night we saw a group that, you'd swear, was right out of "band camp." Clean-cut, multi-instrumentalists - lead singer played mediocre guitar but had a good voice and did percussion back-up, phenom lead guitarist was a Matt Damon-ish lookin' guy, bass player and drummer were excellent and they had a super TRUMPET player. We've seen so many talented bands, lately playing instruments you don't see every day. (one band a week ago - their horn player also had an e-wi - short for electronic wind instrument, which can sound like a ton of different horns and also makes that distinctive and haunting ocarina reggae sound). The dj's that come through here are amazing also. My favorite lately is a young, nerdy lookin' "kid" who wears a backpack (in which he carries some of his gear), so the name kinda stuck to him - he goes by "back pack." Kid can weave magic with all that electronic stuff, get everyone up dancing, while taking you on a trance-like sonic journey, complete with floor-shaking bass, and tons of "samples" mixed in (like the Kung Fu opening theme, fleeting vaguely recognizable advert or cartoon sounds, and spacey, other-worldly creations).

    People gettin' wackier every day. Pretty long list of homes being destroyed by fire on this day, geez.

    Las Vegas Terror Attack: Clear Evidence of Multiple Shooters at Multiple Hotels
    https://www.sott.net/article/364990-Las-Vegas-Terror-Attack-Clear-Evidence-of-Multiple-Shooters-at-Multiple-Hotels

    Three weeks on and there's still no proper account of what happened on the Las Vegas Strip on the night of October 1st 2017. The official investigation and mainstream media coverage has focused on the massacre at the Route 91 Harvest Festival venue, apparently conducted exclusively by 64-year-old gambler Stephen Paddock from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino resort, providing the public with a nonsensical timeline and a highly suspicious explanation of events as detailed by Joe Quinn in this article.

    Since then, survivors from among the 22,000 people in attendance at the venue, along with other guests, residents and employees present on the Strip that night, have begun speaking out about what they saw and heard and to say their statements diverge from the official narrative would be a massive understatement.
    a picture emerges of terror and chaos deliberately spread over a much larger area than just the venue, a picture that casts further doubt on the official story of a lone gunman. [more]

    1. Well that's just lovely about Texas storm victims not being able to get funding unless they swear not to boycott Israel. What's next? Will we have to swear fealty to Schlomo, Moses and Mordecai before we buy a car? Or a house? Or take a leak?

  3. Super Typhoon Lan headed for Japan

    The strongest storm on Earth right now is heading for Japan
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/10/super-typhoon-lan-headed-for-japan.html

    Super Typhoon Lan has been undergoing rapid intensification on Thursday night and Friday, and may reach Category 5 intensity by Saturday morning. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 150 miles per hour as of Friday afternoon, eastern time, and was still slowly intensifying.

    Super Typhoon Lan is in a favorable environment for strengthening, and is likely on a collision course with highly populated areas of Japan while in a weaker, but still formidable state.

    One characteristic of this storm that's clear from satellite imagery is that it has developed a massive eye about 50 miles in diameter. To put that into perspective, if you put the center of the storm on top of Manhattan, it would encompass parts of New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley of New York, southwestern Connecticut, and western Long Island.

    Rampaging wild boars attack people in Heide, Germany
    https://www.sott.net/article/365000-Rampaging-wild-boars-attack-people-in-Heide-Germany

    Four people were injured after squealing boars descended on the small city of Heide in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein on Friday morning.

    Two fully-grown, "aggressive" wild boars - a male and a female - stormed into the city center shortly after 9 a.m. according to local police statements.

    The male then entered the building of a local bank and began attacking people inside before a local hunter was able to shoot and kill the animal. The second boar managed to escape amid the commotion.

    Before the shot was fired, emergency services had used ladders to evacuate people from the building's upper-story windows.

    Earlier in the day, the male boar had injured a woman after entering an optician's. [more]

    Why It's So Hard To Turn The Lights Back On In Puerto Rico
    http://www.npr.org/2017/10/20/558743790/why-its-so-hard-to-turn-the-lights-back-on-in-puerto

    Nearly a month after Hurricane Maria swept through Puerto Rico, almost 80 percent of the territory is still without power. While nobody expected a quick restoration of Puerto Rico's badly outdated power grid, officials have estimated that it could take at least six months.
    Puerto Rico's slow restoration is in stark contrast to Florida after Hurricane Irma hit. [see graph]

    An outdated, aboveground power grid coupled with a comparative shortage of utility workers have hobbled efforts to restore power.
