Event Update For 2018-02-03





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.

2018-02-03 - Unknown odor sickens people at library, library closed, in Marquette (Michigan):
http://www.miningjournal.net/news/front-page-news/2018/02/library-closed-after-odor-detected/

Quote: "The Peter White Public Library was closed early Saturday afternoon after a suspicious odor was detected. Capt. Jeff Green of the Marquette Fire Department said firefighters were called to the library at 12:41 p.m. after receiving a report of the odor, which resulted in some individuals suffering from nausea and headaches. He said the odor was concentrated on the east side of the building’s first floor. Green said the odor did not smell electrical in nature, and the air-handling and heating systems as well as the gas fireplace were not malfunctioning."

  1. What do you know, we lived to document another week of death and destruction!

    It was only a matter of time before multiple people started having "medical episodes" during fires. We've seen it before, but it will be increasing this year.

    More and more reports of "mysterious" house-rattling explosions (loud BOOMs) being reported, and more buildings suffering from "unknown" odors/"gas" smells too.

    Let's see what's happ'nin'

    Chris’ cause of death wasn’t immediately made public, but he had been missing since Jan. 30, according to the actress. [more]

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/heres-what-to-watch-for-after-the-dows-big-drop/ar-BBIGXcX

    Stocks got slammed last week, with the broad market plunging 3.9%. The sudden free fall snapped the S&P 500 stock index’s longest stretch ever without suffering a 3% dip from a high.
    The sudden rockiness on Wall Street was set in motion by fears that the record low-interest rates that have powered stocks and the economy for nearly nine years may be ending as the economy and job market gain strength. [with all those stores closing?]

All of which can be attributed to the nominal wage increases Fortune 100 companies gave their employees to lend the tax cut its micro-thin patina of concern for the middle class.
