Event Update For 2019-05-23





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.

2019-05-23 - More than 300 sea birds wash ashore dead on the Mendocino Coast (California):
http://www.advocate-news.com/2019/05/24/major-die-off-of-common-murres-underway-along-the-mendocino-coast/

Quote: "Starting on Wednesday, May 22, hundreds of Common Murres, an ocean-going bird native to the Pacific Coast from the Channel Islands to the tip of the Aleutians in Alaska, have been reported washed up dead or dying on beaches along a 10-mile stretch of coastline in Mendocino County between Noyo Bay and Seaside Beach. Local wildlife observers say it’s too early to tell what is causing the die-off."

Quote: "'The carcasses that wash ashore are a small fraction of the dead birds,' said Prof. Julia Parrish, the executive director of COASST and associate dean of the College of the Environment at the University of Washington. 'It could be 10 percent to 20 percent, depending on wave action and scavenger activity.'"

Quote: "State environmental crews are investigating a disturbing fish kill in the Neuse River. They're trying to figure out why numerous schools of menhaden are breaking out in sores and dying in the river near New Bern. They say it is unusual because it is still early in the yearly river cycle. The images are grotesque. Fish in the Neuse River swimming around with their insides hanging out. A closer look shows menhaden saddled with open sores and lesions."

  1. Well, we made it through another week, Jonny, Fran, Mike D. and all other readers of JJFH today.

    Not that conditions are improving.

    So two recycling centers across the street from each other were involved in massive fires, two guys go out fishing and are both found dead, the two Hull events were 1 minute apart, but on different streets, and some poor woman lost her car and her vacation home in NJ. Total coincidences i'm sure . ..

    Sea birds dying in big numbers on the West Coast (along with whales) and fish are dying on the East Coast in NC (and FL, to name at least one more state having similar problems).

    On a local note, there's no doubt that the 2 very large oak trees, less than 50' from my house are dying - the leafing out process is over and both trees are decidedly THIN, compared to other years.

    Officials in the Yukon’s most northern community have declared a state of emergency, saying the traditional way of life in Old Crow is under threat. “It’s going to be the blink of an eye before my great grandchild is living in a completely different territory, and if that’s not an emergency, I don’t know what is,” said Dana Tizya-Tramm, chief of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, after a ceremony marking the state of emergency May 19.

    Climate of DESPAIR? U.S. births fell to a 32-year low in 2018 – Birthrate in record SLUMP

    The U.S. birthrate fell again in 2018, to 3,788,235 births — representing a 2% drop from 2017. It’s the lowest number of births in 32 years, according to a new federal report. The numbers also sank the U.S. fertility rate to a record low. The birthrate is a barometer of despair. People won’t make plans to have babies unless they’re optimistic about the future.[more]

    In 90 percent of the samples Wetherbee found a rainbow wheel of plastics, mostly fibers and mostly colored blue. Those could have been shed like crumbs from synthetic clothing. But he also found other shapes, like beads and shards. The plastics were tiny, needing magnification of 20 to 40 times to be visible and they were not dense enough to be weighed. More fibers were found in urban sites, but plastics were also spotted in samples from a site at elevation 10,300 feet in Rocky Mountain National Park. [more; so you can breathe them in!]

    Do tiny tremblors on the West Coast signal a major earthquake?

    The tremors are indications of a "slow-slip" event, says Ken Creager, a University of Washington professor, KOMO reported.

    In a slow-slip movement, which takes place every 14 months or so, a tectonic plate temporarily moves backward, causing a series of small quakes, KOIN reported.

    The slippage also increases pressure on "locked" faults, boosting chances for a major earthquake, KATU reported. [more]

    Polarization is the name of empire. If a society can be kept under the control of their belief in what their senses tell them, then the invisible structures governing their behavior will remain mystical and unknowable. More importantly than that, those intentions shaping such structures towards a pre-determined goal will also remain unknowable. If unknowable, then beyond the reach of judgement, and if beyond the reach of judgement, then unchangeable. This has been the great secret of empire since the days of the Babylonian priesthood and Babylon's whore Rome, since whose collapse, three more incarnations have manifested themselves in the forms of the Byzantine, Venice and Anglo-Dutch empires. This is the dynamic at the heart of what has today come to be known as "the Deep State". [more; their conclusion is typical SOTT b/s imho]

    The Russian Defense Ministry said that Washington's attempts to "impose another lie on this world" about the situation in Syria were "not even surprising anymore" as it denied that any such attack in Idlib took place.

    Even Western-backed groups, such as the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) and the White Helmets - the self-proclaimed civil defense group that operates exclusively in militant-controlled areas and has been accused of associating with extremists - did not support the claims of Washington this time, the ministry said. [more]

    The Russian military added that the Syrian Army unilaterally ceased fire a day before the supposed attack and did not respond to the militants' provocations after that, and hence "there could have been no 'attacks' in the Idlib de-escalation zone on May 19 at all." It argued that the story appears to serve as a "political cover for the terrorists' desperate attempts to destabilize the situation ... in Idlib and provoke a humanitarian catastrophe there." [more]

    According to Kiriakou, Assange should not count on the court's impartiality in his case: "They are going to try to make an example of Julian. He's been charged in the Eastern District of Virginia. His judge was also my judge and ex-Snowden's judge and [CIA whistleblower] Jeffry Sterling's judge who reserves every national security case for herself." [more]

    A Massachusetts father was shaken when he returned home from work and saw that a door he typically leaves open was closed shut. Inside his house, he smelled chemicals and knew someone had broken in.

    Except he learned the stranger who entered his house without permission didn't steal anything, but instead cleaned it.

    "Ready for the weird part? Not only did they not take anything (that I can find), but the purpose of the visit was to clean my bathrooms and bedrooms. They made the beds, vacuumed the rugs, scrubbed the toilets and left [toilet paper] roses," he wrote.

    Roman, 44, inspected the house and found that every room had been cleaned, except his kitchen. Even his five-year-old son's bedroom, which had been left messy, was now immaculate, complete with his stuffed animals being neatly arranged.

    The pièce de résistance, however, was the carefully folded toilet paper in the shape of a rose.

    "I'm pretty sure, based on the quality of the toilet paper flowers, that this was a professional that made a mistake," he told CBS News. "But there's no way to really know." [more]
