Event Update For 2018-08-29





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.

Quote: "Update: Fire was or still is much more serious than we’ve been told – cargo decks were still emitting smoke in the afternoon, firefighting of a major scale still going on. All passengers of course, left ferry, no injures reported. Because of water poured into the ship, she developed portside list. Look at photos – smoke is seen both fore and aft, meaning that fire spread throughout car deck or decks."

Note: This is the third ferry ship to burn in four days. Ferry ship 'Wight Sky' was just damaged by fire on The Solent near the Isle of Wight (Britain), and ferry ship 'Alcántara Dos' just burst into flame near coastal Almeria (Spain), both events mentioned in the 2018-08-26 update. This is the 806th boat/ship to burn/explode in 2018...

    A Tesla vehicle went airborne and crashed into a tree after driving at high speed over a railroad track (TSLA)
    https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/tesla-vehicle-went-airborne-crashed-144308938.html

    A Tesla vehicle went airborne on Tuesday after driving over a railroad track in Barrie, Canada, the local police reported.

    The vehicle was driving at high speed before reaching an incline just before the railroad track.

    After it landed, it started skidding into the opposite lane and eventually crashed into a tree that left the vehicle "demolished."

    The driver and passenger were taken to the hospital and received treatment for minor injuries. [wow, they survived!]

    The driver was arrested and charged with dangerous driving. [more]

    Economic Doom Returns: Emerging Market Currencies Collapse To Record Lows As Global Financial Chaos Accelerates
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/economic-doom-returns-emerging-market-currencies-collapse-to-record-lows-as-global-financial-chaos-accelerates

    Currencies are collapsing in Argentina, Brazil, India, Turkey and other emerging markets, and central banks are springing into action. It is being hoped that the financial chaos can be confined to emerging markets so that it will not spread to the United States and Europe. But of course the global financial system is more interconnected today than ever before, and a massive wave of debt defaults in emerging markets would inevitably have extremely serious consequences all over the planet. It would be difficult to overstate the potential danger that this new crisis poses for all of us. Emerging market economies went on an unprecedented debt binge over the past decade, and a high percentage of those debts were denominated in U.S. dollars. As emerging market currencies collapse, it is going to become nearly impossible to service any debts denominated in U.S. dollars, and that could ultimately mean absolutely enormous losses for international lenders. Our system tends to do fairly well as long as everybody is paying their debts, but once the dominoes begin to tumble things can get messy really quickly. [more]

    Why Is Productivity Dead in the Water?
    It's an interesting analysis and he makes excellent points. However, one major factor is missing: the increasing cost of energy production. Specifically, oil is costing increasingly more to produce. Offshore, deepwater, shale... we are moving on to increasingly costly and difficult-to-produce oil, and that means the net energy delivered to society is on the decline. Shale oil (LTO) is so expensive to produce that it must steal energy to remain viable. It's no wonder that productivity growth is stalling. -- RF
