Event Update For 2019-05-08





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.

2019-05-08 - Toxic blue-green algae hits the Intracoastal Waterway near coastal Sarasota (Florida)
http://www.heraldtribune.com/news/20190508/foul-smelling-algae-found-in-sarasota-county-waters
http://www.snntv.com/story/40445511/that-funky-smell-from-suncoast-waters-is-algae
http://www.winknews.com/2019/05/08/different-type-of-blue-green-algae-reeks-along-lemon-bay-shore/

Quote: "Lyngbya wollei is a large-celled, thread-like blue-green algae that occurs naturally in fresh or brackish waters in Florida. It is carried to the waterfront by currents and winds and decaying mats of the algae that are exposed to air release hydrogen sulfide that creates a rotten egg smell. To grow it needs water above 75 degrees and elevated levels of phosphorus, nitrogen, iron and dissolved organic matter."

Note: I've mention this problem before, when people were smelling 'rotten egg' odors during the devastating red tide event last year in Florida. Algae blooms of any kind suck up the oxygen in the water and then the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide eat the algae as it dies. So one problem, algae blooms, leads to another problem, poisonous hydrogen sulfide emissions. The same thing is happening with the gigantic and growing Sargassum seaweed infestations spreading across the Caribbean - as that stuff rots, the oxygen levels decline and those same anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide get free food to grow their colonies, releasing hydrogen sulfide as they eat the rotting seaweed. These problems are accelerating...

Quote: "A woman died after her car caught fire Tuesday evening at a rest stop along I-5. Two men reportedly heard a pop at 8:51 p.m. and saw smoke and flames coming from a car parked at the southbound rest area, Washington State Patrol spokesman Travis Shearer said. They ran over and got her out of the Chevrolet Spark, a small sedan. She had serious injuries from burns, Shearer said, and was flown by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. She died there early Wednesday morning."

Quote: "A daring German trucker is being hailed as a hero after leaping aboard a moving tractor-trailer whose driver died at the wheel and bringing it to a stop before anyone was injured. Cologne police say truckers spotted the 40-ton vehicle scraping along the center concrete barrier of the northbound A1 Autobahn on Wednesday night. Police said Thursday that while other trucks blocked traffic the 43-year-old got out of his own vehicle and ran alongside the slow-moving tractor-trailer. With the help of a police van that pulled alongside, he was able to vault from its fender onto the truck, smash a window with a hammer, open the cabin and take control of the vehicle, bringing it to a safe stop. Rescue crews couldn't resuscitate the vehicle's 54-year-old driver."

  1. Heh, Trump will say he was "giving back" the money to the economy, or some such nonsense.

    How's everyone doing today? Though it's supposed to be Spring, here in SE PA we have below avg. temps (mid to upper 50s to low 60s), a lot of moisture and another gloomy, rainy weekend to experience. The forecast for both today and Sunday changed overnight (shows how reliable they are, dun-it?). Sunday is only going to have a high of 52 and rain all day and we might make it to 75 today.

    The Deadline Passes And Trump Brings Down The Tariff Hammer – China Immediately Promises To Retaliate
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-deadline-passes-and-trump-brings-down-the-tariff-hammer-china-immediately-promises-to-retaliate

    At 12:01 AM eastern time on Friday, President Trump followed through on his threats and hit China with a massive tariff increase. As you will see below, China immediately pledged to retaliate. U.S. and Chinese officials will continue to negotiate throughout the day on Friday, but if U.S. officials were optimistic that a deal was imminent the trigger never would have been pulled on these tariffs. At this point the gap between the negotiating positions of the two sides is still enormous, and that does not seem likely to change. The Chinese have been taking advantage of the United States for decades, and they wish to continue doing so. Meanwhile, President Trump and his advisers are absolutely determined to level the playing field. Unless one of the parties backs down in a major way, there is not going to be a trade agreement and this trade war is about to get very real, and that is extremely bad news for the global economy.

Averaged across the contiguous U.S., the total of 36.20” made the period from May 2018 to April 2019 the first year-long span ever to top 36”.

    Whistleblower Chelsea Manning Released From Virginia Detention Center
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2019/05/chelsea-manning-released-from-detention.html

    Whistleblower Chelsea Manning has been released from the Virginia jail where she has been kept for the last two months for her refusal to testify before a grand jury regarding WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange. However, Manning must now appear before a new grand jury on May 16.

    After 62 days in jail and two petitions for release citing improper procedure by the judge as well as her adamant refusal to testify, Manning has been released.

    However, she has been served with another subpoena to appear before another grand jury in one week. "It is therefore conceivable that she will once again be held in contempt of court, and be returned to the custody of the Alexandria Detention Center, possibly as soon as next Thursday, May 16," Manning's lawyers said.

    Millions of acres of farmland are already under water meaning thousands of farmers will not be able to plant crops this summer, with thousands of more farmers who have been financially ruined by the floods and will never return to farming again.

    scientists at MIT, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and elsewhere have found evidence that phytoplankton’s productivity is declining steadily in the North Atlantic, one of the world’s most productive marine basins.

    In a paper appearing today in Nature, the researchers report that phytoplankton’s productivity in this important region has gone down around 10 percent since the mid-19th century and the start of the Industrial era. This decline coincides with steadily rising surface temperatures over the same period of time. [more; but, but Grand Solar Minimum/Mini-Ice Age!!]

    Dr. Helen Caldicott: Fukushima is an ongoing global 'radiological catastrophe'
    https://www.sott.net/article/412758-Dr-Helen-Caldicott-Fukushima-is-an-ongoing-global-radiological-catastrophe

    Helen Caldicott warns that the dangers associated with Fukushima have not gone away and remain a cause for concern.

    she is the editor of the 2014 book, Crisis Without End: The Medical and Ecological Consequences of the Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe.

    On the week marking the eighth anniversary of the Fukushima meltdowns, the Global Research News Hour radio program, hosted by Michael Welch, reached out to Dr. Caldicott to get her expert opinion on the health dangers posed by the most serious nuclear disaster since, at least, the 1986 Chernobyl event.

    [link provided and excerpts included, like this one below]

    GR: (Chuckle). Is there anything that people can do, you know, whether they live in Japan or, say, the west coast of North America to mitigate the effects that this disaster has had, and may still be having eight years later?

    HC: Yes. Do not eat any Japanese food because you don't know where it's sourced. Do not eat fish from Japan, miso, rice, you name it. Do not eat Japanese food. Period. Um, fish caught off the west coast of Canada and America, well, they're not testing the fish so I don't know what you'd do. Um, I mean, most of it's probably not radioactive but you don't know because you can't taste it.

    Um they've closed down the air-borne radioactive measuring instruments off the west coast of America, uh, but that's pretty bad, because there still could be another huge accident at those reactors.

    For instance, if there's another large earthquake, number one, all those tanks would be destroyed and the water would pour into the Pacific. Number two, there could be another meltdown, a release - huge release of radiation, um, from the damaged reactors. So, things are very tenuous, but they're not just tenuous now. They're going to be tenuous forever. [more]
