Event Update For 2018-06-11





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.sott.net/article/387938-Africas-oldest-and-largest-baobab-trees-are-suddenly-dying-after-thousands-of-years

Quote: "Baobab trees — an icon of the African continent and the heart of many traditional African remedies and folklore — are dying across the continent, and scientists are trying to understand why. A study published Monday found eight of the 13 oldest trees in Africa have died over the past decade, and the authors suggest climate change may affect the ability of the baobab to survive. 'The deaths of the majority of the oldest and largest African baobabs over the past 12 years is an event of an unprecedented magnitude,' the study authors said. 'These deaths were not caused by an epidemic, and there has also been a rapid increase in the apparently natural deaths of many other mature baobabs.'"

Quote: "But Tom Mills, a spokesperson for NAS Whidbey Island, said it wasn't a missile launch from the facility. There are no missile launch capabilities on the Navy base at Whidbey Island. In fact, Navy workers are wondering what it was, too. 'There's a lot of speculation around here,' Mills said, suggesting it could be lens flare. 'But it's definitely not a missile launch.'"

Note: That's definitely not a lens flare, and another proposed explanation was a helicopter, and it's definitely not that either, and apparently it definitely wasn't a missile either. So who knows!

    Claims that Trump made Kim an offer he couldn’t refuse
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/06/did-world-come-close-to-nuclear-conlfict.html

    On his website today Hal Turner has made claims, based on his purported security sources that Trump, already on his way to his meeting with Kim Jong-un in Singapore when he got a message from Kim that he had cancelled the summit and there would be no denuclearisation. Allegedly he hung up on Trump.

    Trump and Mattis, according to this version of events decided to make Kim Jong-un "an offer he can't refuse" - We've launched a missile at your capital city to prove we mean business. Either you agree right now to be at the Summit in Singapore on the 12th, or your country will be wiped out - today. " [more - see pic of mystery object, purported to be a non-nuclear missile from a U.S. submarine]

    “On Sunday, June 10, 2018, at approximately 03:56:05 AM Pacific Time, a Trident missile refitted with a non-nuclear, conventional explosive, was launched from that submarine from the waters off Kitsap Naval Base in Washington state [more]

    Dangerous wildfire season in the US

    Worrisome U.S. Wildfire Risks Leading into Summer of 2018
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/06/dangerous-wildfire-season-in-us.html

    According to forecasters from the National Interagency Fire Center:
    …warmer and drier-than-normal conditions have put large portions of the Western United States at above-average risk for significant wildfires between now and September.

    This year’s wildfire season could rival last year’s, which was one of the most devastating on record, said Vicki Christiansen, interim chief of the U.S. Forest Service. [more]

    Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration indicate that the past 36-, 48-, and 60-month periods rank warmest on record for the Lower 48, in records that date to 1895.

  4. The Real Economic Numbers: 21.5 Percent Unemployment, 10 Percent Inflation And Negative Economic Growth
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-real-economic-numbers-21-5-percent-unemployment-10-percent-inflation-and-negative-economic-growth

    Every time the mainstream media touts some “wonderful new economic numbers” I just want to cringe. Yes, it is true that the economic numbers have gotten slightly better since Donald Trump entered the White House, but the rosy economic picture that the mainstream media is constantly painting for all of us is completely absurd. As you are about to see, if honest numbers were being used all of our major economic numbers would be absolutely terrible. . . Economist John Williams of shadowstats.com has been tracking what our key economic numbers would look like if honest numbers were being used for many years, and he has gained a sterling reputation for being accurate. And according to him, it looks like the U.S. economy has been in a recession and/or depression for a very long time.[more]

    1. I just don't know anymore what to think of the doom and gloom economic prognosticators. For one thing for at least 8 years now most of them have been wrong. As in very wrong in predicting economic calamity. It's always going to happen "this year". Apparently Guy McPherson listens to them because he has just yet AGAIN said that this coming September holds a good chance of "this being it". In other words the industrial civilization will collapse.

      I guess his strategy is to keep predicting this every year until he ends up being right. Probably listens to David Stockman who is a moron extraodinaire. Always wrong. Year after year after year.

      As to us being in depression right now.....I'm sorry is that a punchline? Am I supposed to laugh now because it is effing funny. And it is horseshit.

      Or is Texas the only place on earth that is booming. And I assure you it is BOOMING! I see it with my own eyes. I don't need some moron prognosticator to tell me it is booming.

      It's all going to crash when it crashes. I don't know when. No one does. I have a feeling that the crash will be caused by runaway climate catastrophes. Guy McP seems to think the economic collapse will cause the runaway climate catastrophes due to the loss of "global dimming".

      Okie dokie Guy. Whatever. H2S will probably be what kills him...and me....and you....

    Hurricane "Bud" reached Category 4 strength on June 12, 2018, thus becoming the second Category 4 hurricane in the Eastern Pacific within 4 days. This is only the third time on record the first two named Eastern Pacific storms of the season became major hurricanes. Bud is expected to be near southern Baja California Sur on Thursday, June 14 before it makes landfall as a tropical storm. Parts of Mexico have already seen severe flash flooding and some of its moisture will reach drought-stricken southwestern US where flash flooding will be possible. [more]

  8. You know I did notice that Kim at times looked dazed and like he'd "seen a ghost" at the summit. My gut tells me that the Hal Turner story of Trump threatening Kim with annihilation is true. Trump can't stand being dissed in front of the world. If he had let Kim's last minute cancellation stand, notifying Trump while en route, would've been a huge diss.

  9. Yes Mike, I see the bustle of commerce humming right along here too and haven't the time to worry about when this inevitable collapse will happen for certain. I'm more worried about that loss of habitat scenario than anything else.

    I only read and post this stuff so the reader sees the other side of the rainbows and unicorns, rosy, sky's the limit approach that we're told. It's a trajectory of opinions and stories to update the spirit of the times we're living.

    Despite what happens in the news of the world, I'm fully in to living where I am and doing what I can.

    And despite what anyone says, we observe the reality that we live (locally). We can see what's happening in our environment, but must rely on others for their perspective.

    Compounding the problem of getting to the truth is that, as you point out, the are people, agencies and companies that are corrupting reality with false information. Deciding who or what to believe is a personal choice now, it's not always clear and events are muddied by multiple interpretation.

    This is even (maybe especially) true about the weather.

    Political events like we just witnessed are no exception. CNN was blatantly casting shade on the whole affair, while Trump supporters count it as (another) win.

    1. I didn't meant to infer that I'm against you posting the stories regarding the economy. I had just recently watched Guy's short video suggesting that it "may be all over" starting in September this year, and I've just grown tired of hearing how terrible the economy is by some prognosticators and just felt a desire to do some ripping. I do that now and then. Okay....I do it often. Just not here as much. Yet. Lol...

    In The Western World Truth Is An Endangered Species: Come To Its Support (Paul Craig Roberts)
    Nowhere in the Western world is truth respected. Even universities are imposing censorship and speech control. Governments are shutting down, and will eventually criminalize, all explanations that differ from official ones. The Western world no longer has a print and TV media. In its place there is a propaganda ministry for the ruling elite.

    Global civilisation to descend into 'hell on earth' unless we choose a new paradigm
    [Dr. Jeremy Leggett] told a gripped audience that the world had approached a major convergence point in which our choices would rapidly close off either one of these possible futures. One scenario heralds the promise of a successful transition to a new, more evolved kind of civilisation. Another scenario warns of a future plunged increasingly into scarcity, despotic chaos and conflict.
    I absolutely guarantee, with 100% probability, that world leaders will make choices leading to the second scenario. The "great transition" will be from industrial civilization back to agrarian subsistence. -- RF

  13. Yeah, we're not gonna be transitioning from an industrial civilization to an agrarian civilization. Well, I guess we'll be 'agrarian' in the sense that we'll all be pushing daisies.
