Event Update For 2018-08-25





http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html




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.

2018-08-25 - Update on fit and healthy couple that suddenly died at seaside resort in coastal Hurghada (Egypt) - 'funny smell' mentioned:

http://news.sky.com/story/couple-who-died-in-egypt-hotel-killed-by-something-in-their-room-says-daughter-11482934
http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/first-look-inside-death-hotel-as-family-ask-did-%E2%80%98funny-smell%E2%80%99-in-their-room-kill-british-couple-who-died-there/ar-BBMtVdP

Quote: "The family of a British couple who died on a Thomas Cook holiday fear they may have been poisoned by a ‘funny smell’ in their hotel room. Under-pressure Egyptian officials have launched an urgent investigation, despite insisting John and Susan Cooper died of natural causes."

Quote: "My daughter said they could smell something that was a little bit funny, that wasn't right."

Note: Before this smell info, I was thinking they probably got poisoned in the water at the beach or the pool or the hotel shower, but that they died after there was a 'funny smell' indicates that they probably got gassed to death. The doctors there say 'natural causes' for both of them. That's an indicator that they were killed by hydrogen sulfide - it doesn't stick around in the body very long and there is no clinical test for hydrogen sulfide poisoning, so the deaths generally look like 'natural causes'. Also, hydrogen sulfide at medium-high or higher concentrations doesn't have that unpleasant 'rotten egg' odor. Different people describe it differently, because people's brains are different. Some say it's flowery, or sickly-sweet, or like licorice, or chemically. Not terribly unpleasant, just weird, unfamiliar...

    These remarkable findings were pieced together from the most unusual of sources – not thermometers or satellites, but rather from natural climate archives.

    1080 dumpsite uncovered in Stewart Island national park
    robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/08/a-toxic-1080-dumpsite-on-pristine.html

    As much as 75 kilograms of the poison was dumped by a contractor working for the Department of Conservation (DoC), which has now called in police and other authorities.

    The pristine New Zealand bush on the island is remote and unspoilt - but the dump had enough poison to kill potentially hundreds of animals.

    How global warming is making “red tide” algal blooms even worse
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/how-global-warming-is-making-red-tide.html

    Now the toxic algae — Karenia brevis — is working up the coast from Sanibel Island to Tampa Bay. Respiratory irritation in humans has been reported as far north as Manatee County, just south of Tampa Bay, where high concentrations of the algae were measured last week. The water off Pinellas County — Clearwater, Largo, St. Petersburg — had elevated concentrations of red tide beyond a normal “background” state for the first time this month. [more]

    As air and ocean temperatures increase, the environment becomes more hospitable to toxic algal blooms in several ways, according to scientists and the Environmental Protection Agency. [more]

    Scientists blast EPA effort that would discredit health research in the name of “transparency”
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/scientists-blast-epa-effort-that-would.html

    When the Environmental Protection Agency unveiled a proposal this week to give states more latitude in regulating pollution from power plants within their borders, it came with a sobering forecast of its likely impact on Americans’ health.

    By 2030, adoption of the Affordable Clean Energy Rule could lead to 470 to 1,400 additional premature deaths each year because of an increase in tiny airborne particles. Children with asthma could wind up missing 21,000 extra days of school annually, and up to 48,000 more people could experience “exacerbated asthma” as air quality deteriorates.

    Nearly 70 medical societies and public health groups, including the American Medical Assn., the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Lung Assn. and the American Assn. for Cancer Research. In their view, it’s a backhanded attack on the key air pollution studies that forced companies to spend billions of dollars on cleaner factories and better equipment.

    “I can’t come up with any explanation other than that they want to make this data available to vested interests by making it available to everyone,” said George Thurston, an environmental medicine researcher at New York University’s Langone School of Medicine who opposes the EPA initiative. “The problem is that people with an agenda can statistically manipulate the data and come up with really inappropriate conclusions. And if they have a profit motive, that’s likely to happen.” [more]

    The long-awaited break to new all time S&P and Nasdaq highs last week has the futures bid this morning. We should see a good manic blow-off top over the next day or two, led by the junkiest stocks in the market. Late summer liquidity is non-existent, short-covering is epic. Gamblers are all lubed up for final implosion...
