Event Update For 2018-10-27





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.

    Homes and businesses were threatened with flood waters all along the northeastern coast. The Coast Guard was searching for a man who fell off a ship in the rough seas. Beach sand mixed with rain to coat cars on the Massachusetts coast. Roads and bridges were close by flooding and fallen trees. All that and much more occurred in areas from New Jersey to Maine as the first fall’s nor’easter raked the coast on Saturday… [more]

    An Indonesian aircraft with 189 people on board crashed into the sea on Monday as it tried to circle back to the capital, Jakarta, from where it had taken off minutes earlier, and there were likely no survivors, officials said.

    Lion Air flight JT610, an almost new Boeing 737 MAX 8, was en route to Pangkal Pinang, capital of the Bangka-Belitung tin mining region. Rescue officials said they had recovered some human remains from the crash site, about 15 km (9 miles) off the coast. [more]

    A Perfect Storm Is Brewing
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/a-perfect-storm-is-brewing

    As the month began, people were generally feeling pretty good about things, and the U.S. stock market quickly set a new all-time high. But from that point on, the wheels fell off for Wall Street. We just witnessed the worst October for U.S. stocks since the financial crisis of 2008, and at this point more than 8 trillion dollars of global wealth has been completely wiped out. But it isn’t just the stock market that is being shaken. The horrific violence in Pittsburgh is just the latest in a string of events that have rattled the entire nation. Sometimes I feel like I am literally watching the fabric of our society come apart right in front of my eyes. It is almost as if there is a tangible presence of evil in the air, and it seems to be getting stronger over time. For quite a while I have been warning that levels of anger and frustration are rising to unprecedented levels, and all of that anger and frustration is leading people to do things that are absolutely unthinkable. And if people are this crazed now, how bad are things going to get once the economy really starts unraveling? [more; you don't wanna know]

  2. Stock Buybacks: Artificially Suppressing Reality
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-stock-buyback-delusion-volatility.html

    Stock buybacks have replaced Fed dopium in artificially suppressing volatility, which has given gamblers a false sense of complacency. And yet, despite a doubling in stock buybacks in 2018 versus 2017, volatility is far higher this year than last year. In other words, reality is no longer being "suppressed"

    As I've said many times, stock buybacks are the biggest indicator of a failing economy. The slowest growing companies use buybacks to return capital to shareholders by shrinking their share count, because they have no good place to invest it

    Zerohedge posits, will stock buybacks save this market?

    I suggest not. It turns out that the market has figured out that stock buybacks are a sign of weakening fundamentals in terms of growth and balance sheet solvency. [more]

    http://www.thebigwobble.org/2018/10/220000-homeless-2200-dead-thousands.html

    Indonesia's quake- and the tsunami-battered city of Palu is facing a public health crisis as torrential rains threaten to spread malaria and dengue fever to the devastated region a month after the disaster, aid agencies have warned.

    Thousands more are missing, presumed dead, after entire neighbourhoods were swallowed up by liquefaction - a process where a strong quake makes the ground behave like a liquid, turning it into a kind of quicksand.

    Desperate to stave off disease, authorities in midmonth dropped disinfectant from helicopters on the worst-hit parts of Palu, where some 5,000 rotting corpses are feared buried beneath the ruins. Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency said the move was crucial to preventing the proliferation of disease-laden flies, cockroaches, and rats. [more]

    A biologist and lawyer, Skipwith spent more than six years at Monsanto and has worked at the Agriculture Department and U.S. Agency for International Development.

    If confirmed by the Senate, Skipwith would be the first African-American to head the wildlife agency, which has 9,000 employees and a $2.8 billion annual budget. [more]

    Reykjavík plunged into a state of emergency as US troops drink up all their beer
    https://www.sott.net/article/399390-Reykjavik-plunged-into-a-state-of-emergency-as-US-troops-drink-up-all-their-beer

    It was only supposed to be a pit stop, but some 7,000 US troops taking part in mass NATO drills nonetheless managed to deplete some bars and restaurants, in Iceland's capital Reykjavik, of all their beer, according to local media.

    The troops stopped in Iceland over the weekend while on their way to Sweden and Finland for a 300,000-strong NATO exercise. In total, some 50,000 of the forces participating are US troops.

    But, apparently unconcerned about moderating their intake of booze just before Trident Juncture 18, thought to be NATO's biggest military exercise since the Cold War, the troops plunged several bars in downtown Reykjavik into a state of emergency as they went nuts on their beer. [more]

    Mountain birds on "escalator to extinction" as planet warms
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/mountain-birds-on-escalator-to-extinction-as-planet-warms/ar-BBP4YZ6

    A meticulous re-creation of a three decade-old study of birds on a mountainside in Peru has given scientists a rare chance to prove how the changing climate is pushing species out of the places they are best adapted to.

    Surveys of more than 400 species of birds in 1985 and then in 2017 have found that populations of almost all had declined, as many as eight had disappeared completely, and nearly all had moved to higher elevations in what scientists call "an escalator to extinction."

    "Once you move up as far as you can go, there's nowhere else left," said John W. Fitzpatrick, a study author and director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. "On this particular mountain, some ridgetop bird populations were literally wiped out." [more]
