Event Update For 2018-07-03





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.

    Whole lotta PA goin' on in this day's report! More and more blackouts and electrical interruptions happening. Water deaths and wildfires are both increasing. Startin' July off with a JJFH event in Hull on the same day as a garbage truck fire elsewhere.

    Crop failure in Delaware, USA

    Officials Plead for Help as Crops Fail
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/07/crop-failure-in-delaware-usa.html

    An abnormally wet spring has led Delaware officials to ask the USDA for an emergency declaration to help farmers affected by the soggy weather.

    Intense hailstorm hits Valencia, Spain affecting 11,000 ha (27,200 acres) of crops, damage up to €47 million (US$58 million)

    "It was a brief storm but it was very strong and has been a real disaster for thousands of Valencian growers. Even the wood on the trees has been affected," said AVA-ASAJA president Cristóbal Aguado. He has requested state support for fungicides to protect the trees from rotting.

    Persimmons are the most affected crop, with around 3,500 hectares seriously affected. The organization estimated this would translate into a 15% drop in production on the next crop, which, added to the 10% reduction the industry was already expecting due to frosts in February and March, will lead to Valencia's persimmon production dropping by a quarter.

    In citrus, around 7,000 hectares of mandarins and oranges were affected. The level of damage varies more widely than persimmons, with levels of around 20% widely reported but increasing to 100% in extreme cases. [more]

    For the second consecutive year, vineyards in Limoux, Aude, have been hit hard by hail.

    Showers of hail devastated the whole vineyard in a few minutes, and the loss is huge.

    "Last year, we lost 80% of the harvest because of a frost, and this year, again, we lose 100% from the hail," said Pierre Tichadou, winegrower. [more; slow learner]

    https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/3/17530232/self-driving-ai-winter-full-autonomy-waymo-tesla-uber

    There’s growing concern among AI experts that it may be years, if not decades, before self-driving systems can reliably avoid accidents. As self-trained systems grapple with the chaos of the real world, experts like NYU’s Gary Marcus are bracing for a painful recalibration in expectations, a correction sometimes called “AI winter.” That delay could have disastrous consequences for companies banking on self-driving technology, putting full autonomy out of reach for an entire generation.

    THE BATTLE IN THE SOUTH OF SYRIA IS COMING TO AN END: ISRAEL BOWED TO RUSSIA’S WILL
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-battle-in-south-of-syria-is-coming.html

    After only two weeks since the beginning of the military operation, jihadists and militants in most of eastern rural Daraa in south Syria have either surrendered or were overwhelmed, the over 70 villages they occupied were liberated by the Syrian Army. Meanwhile, Israel has reduced its requests or conditions pronounced in the last two weeks: from launching threats against the approach of the Syrian Army towards the South, to menaces if Damascus pushes forces beyond the 1974 demarcation line and the disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel. This clearly means all players (the US, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia) have dropped the jihadists and militants they were training and are turning their back on them: they are now on their own.

    What follows will be a Brown Swan event: the undesirable consequence of having one's head up their own ass when the world implodes...

    What Trump is attempting to accomplish is to rearrange Globalization in mid-air. It won't work. The economic benefits are lagged by years, the capital impacts are overnight. The Fed is doing their part to assist...

    As I wrote in my treatise on economic failure, 50 years under a reserve currency has given rise to a dead-end economic orthodoxy predicated upon the unfounded belief in unlimited trade and fiscal deficits. Meanwhile, the real price that was paid was in jobs and industries. Modern economic theory is 100% shite. The U.S. Economics establishment will be eulogized for pioneering Disneyland economics.

    As I wrote, this era witnessed the ascendancy of capital at the expense of labour. A diametric zero sum trade-off via industrial arbitrage, brokered by debt. Rebalancing this fiasco in the other direction, is now fraught with "re-pricing" [more; see charts]

    'Losing Military Supremacy' book review: How the US lost its edge to Russia
    https://www.sott.net/article/390137-Losing-Military-Supremacy-book-review-How-the-US-lost-its-edge-to-Russia

    But of all the aspects of the "American dream", the single most resilient one has been the myth of the US military as "the finest fighting force in history". In this new book, Andrei Martianov not only comprehensively debunks this myth, he explains step by step how this myth was created and why it is collapsing now. This is no small feat, especially in a relatively short book (225 pages) which is very well written and accessible to everyone, not just military specialists.

    You can also get both versions of the book (paper & electronic) here. [more]

  6. Russian deputy prime minister announces plans for Armed Forces to introduce 6 unrivaled weapons
    https://www.sott.net/article/390143-Russian-deputy-prime-minister-announces-plans-for-Armed-Forces-to-introduce-6-unrivaled-weapons

    The Russian military is undergoing a large-scale rearmament, which will allow it to make use of some of the world's most advanced weapon systems, Yury Borisov, the Russian deputy prime minister, who oversees Russia's military-industrial complex and military-technical policy, said during his speech at the Military Academy of the General Staff.

    Some of the new weapons, which are set to enter service in Russia between 2018 and 2027, surpass the existing and even future weapons systems used by other nations, including the NATO member states, Borisov said as he listed what he called six Russian cutting-edge weapons.

    [this is the last one listed, but I think it was already tested on the U.S. Navy]
    Tirada-2s satellite jammer

    Last but not least is Russia's cutting-edge electronic warfare device codenamed Tirada-2s. While it may not sound impressive in comparison to "doomsday" missiles or fifth-generation stealth fighters, this new equipment might yet prove to be crucial in any modern conflict, as it can actually jam... satellites.

    Such technologies, which effectively render the satellites useless, make it difficult for any potential enemy to bypass the jamming and de facto leaves them without any modern communication tools. [more; read 'em weep]

    New Chinese-Indian 'oil cartel' threatens OPEC
    https://www.sott.net/article/390126-New-Chinese-Indian-oil-cartel-threatens-OPEC

    When reports emerged that India and China are in talks about forming an oil buyers' club, OPEC was probably too busy with its upcoming June 22 meeting to concern itself with that dangerous alliance. Now, it may be time for it to start worrying.

    "The timing is right. The boom in U.S. oil and gas production gives us greater leverage against OPEC," the Times of India quoted an Indian official as saying last month after the formal start of said talks. The two countries, after all, account for a combined 17 percent of global oil consumption and they are the ones that would be the hardest hit if prices rise as a result of OPEC's actions.

    What's more, they might not be alone in this attempt to curb OPEC's clout on the global oil market. According to Bloomberg's Carl Pope, Europe and Japan, previously reluctant to take part in any anti-OPEC projects, may now join in. The reason they are likely to join in is that unlike in previous oil price cycles, now there are alternatives to fossil fuels. Electrification is where OPEC may have to face off with a future oil buyers' cartel. [more]

    "Any hostile attempt by the US [to impede Iran's oil trade] will be followed by an exorbitant cost for them," Esmail Kowsari, a deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Sarollah base in Tehran told the Iranian Young Journalists Club, which is linked to the national broadcaster controlled by the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

    "If Iran's oil exports are [stopped], we will not give permission for oil to be exported to the world through the Strait of Hormuz," Kowsari said, as cited by Bloomberg. [more]
