Event Update For 2018-06-19





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.

  1. Man, Texas is getting hit with a LOT of rain (in parts) - like 15" in some spots, geez!

    Meanwhile, the weather people around here have been promising rain for almost a week and we've gotten NA-ting! Today looks promising for some though. We'll see.

    Not much going on so far this morning. Here's a couple of stories to start us off.

    Will Nicaragua be the next Venezuela?
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/will-nicaragua-be-the-next-venezuela/ar-AAyVtfO

    Protests in Nicaragua have left as many dead in just two months as the Venezuelan crisis did over the course of several years. And with the country stuck in a political stalemate, experts say anything can happen.

    Two months after an uprising took hold of Nicaragua, there appears to be no end in sight. It began on April 18, with citizens protesting President Daniel Ortega's controversial pension system reform. Ortega withdrew the proposal four days later, hoping the protests would end. Instead, demonstrators continued to rally, but this time against the repressive methods of the state and the deaths it produced, throwing the country into unexpected political chaos. [more]

It is full of lakes! This water lake phenomenon has not been seen in the desert in almost two decades. [more]

    The Unexamined Life. Is A Bad Choice.
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-unexamined-life.html

    The unexamined life attends the consumption-oriented lifestyle. Meaning that external gratification dopamine addiction leaves little room for introspection. The consumption-addled mind can’t sit still for long enough to orient itself around anything that can’t be consumed or acquired - be that real or virtual. The competitive way of life rewards socialization over deep education. Superficial familiarity above profound insight. This all attends a broad-based sociopathy directed towards understanding people in order to ingratiate oneself into higher levels of society, at the expense of understanding the natural world and its processes. Disposability favoured over craftsmanship. Knowledge is deemed “useless” if it can’t be put to direct use accumulating additional wealth materiel and corresponding status. [more]

  3. EPA research grants cancelled at direction of Trump political appointee – Climate science research targeted
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/06/epa-research-grants-cancelled-at.html

    E&E News reported that a political appointee at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had ordered the cancellation of several research grants. According to the report, “several grants that included climate change in their description or [were] linked to environmental organizations” were cancelled at the request of EPA’s Deputy Administration for Public Affairs John Konkus, a political appointee.

    Deputy Administrator Konkus was responsible for reviewing grants between August 2017 and May 2018. He reportedly told EPA staff that, as part of his review, he would be looking for “the double C-word” (i.e., climate change). He ordered the cancellation of at least four grants for research on climate change and related topics. [more]

    Conflict and climate change challenge sustainable development effort: UN report – For the first time in more than a decade, the number who are not getting enough to eat is trending upward
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/06/conflict-and-climate-change-challenge.html

    Although more people are leading better lives than a decade ago, persistent poverty and hunger, as well as rapid urbanization, are challenging global efforts to create a more just and equitable world, according to a United Nations report launched on Wednesday.

    The study provides a snapshot of progress towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by world leaders nearly three years ago.

    “With just 12 years left to the 2030 deadline, we must inject a sense of urgency,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a forward to the report.

    The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2018 reveals that conflict and climate change were major contributing factors to increased hunger and forced displacement, among other challenges.

  4. Farm legislation that would impose new work restrictions to qualify for food stamps narrowly passed the U.S. House after an earlier attempt failed last month because of conservatives’ demands that an immigration vote be held first.

    The five year, $867 billion bill, passed 213-211 on Thursday, would extend subsidies for farmers and government-backed crop insurers, and impose new requirements on the government’s biggest food-assistance program.

    The Senate is considering a different version of farm legislation that wouldn’t impose broad new work requirements for those who receive subsidies under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. If that version ultimately wins Senate approval, lawmakers would need to reconcile the two bills. Current farm programs begin to expire Sept. 30.

    “If history is any indication, we will not be done by Sept. 30 with the farm bill,” said Senator Jerry Moran, a Republican from Kansas and a member of that chamber’s Agriculture Committee, at a Bloomberg Government event earlier in the day. [more]

    A 6-year-old boy was discovered in the Arizona desert after being abandoned by a smuggler Tuesday night, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

    The boy, hailing originally from Costa Rica, was found by Border Patrol west of Lukeville, Arizona, a tiny border crossing that sits just north of Mexico. The temperature outside at the time was 100 degrees, according to the agency.

    In a press release, Border Patrol said that the boy was left without food or water, but was discovered in good condition and taken to be processed in Tucson, Arizona. He was attempting to see his mother. [more]

    A woman was found drowned in a creek and cars washed away down streets on Wednesday after a violent storm dumped nearly four inches of rain on parts of western Pennsylvania.

    The body of 64-year-old Wendy Abbott was discovered in McLaughlin Run, Bridgeville, after she was swept away during flash floods. Abbott, who lived locally, was reported missing by family after going for a drive.

    Floods also ravaged nearby Bethel Park where diners at the Trolley Shop Inn stood on tables as they waited to be rescued while cars floated in surging floodwaters outside. [more; video]

    There is currently a swarm of quakes on Vancouver Island, Canada. And the island sits just next to the Cascadia fault zone. Is this series of hundreds of quakes another sign of the next megaquake along the dangerous fault? What people are already calling the “big one” is an impending earthquake that is set to destroy most of the northwest region of North America. Northwest FEMA Director Kenneth Murphy said that this natural disaster is set to kill around 13,000 people and injure another 2,500. So what are we expected to see from an impending doom straight from Mother Nature? [more]

    Sometimes market risk is so high and obviously bearish, that anyone who can fog a mirror is short, so the casino stair-steps lower due to continual short-covering. Which is the case right now. The Dow is dripping lower but it can't get oversold due to continual BTFD...

    Which is how crashes happen.

    Amazon and other online retailers took a hit today due to the Supreme Court ruling on retail sales taxes. It's a great idea, it just comes twenty years too late to level the playing field between internet retailers and mainstreet brick-and-mortar retail

    Just as the trade war with China isn't going to save U.S. manufacturing from decades of decimation, this ruling comes way too late to save brick and mortar.

    That said, it can certainly put a nail in the coffin of the internet tech rally [more]
