"In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue, but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing." -- Mark Twain

Event Update For 2019-07-23
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.

2019-07-23 - Unknown odor sickens people at mall in coastal Honolulu (Hawaii):
http://www.staradvertiser.com/2019/07/23/breaking-news/mysterious-odor-at-ala-moana-food-court-sickens-some-sends-1-to-hospital/
Quote: "Fire, police and Emergency Medical Services late Tuesday afternoon responded to a strong odor at the Ala Moana Center’s Makai Market Food Court. The fire department got the call at 4:35 p.m. Three units and a Hazardous Materials team with 11 personnel responded. But the food court had been evacuated before the fire personnel arrived. Many complained of irritation to their respiratory system, difficulty swallowing and coughing, fire Capt. Scot Seguirant said. Emergency Medical Services transported a 69-year-old man in serious condition to a hospital."
2019-07-23 - Tractor bursts into flame and kills man near Luchy (France):
http://www.newsy-today.com/a-farmer-dies-on-his-tractor-in-the-oise/
http://newsbeezer.com/franceeng/a-farmer-dies-on-his-tractor-in-the-oise/
Quote: "In the middle of the wheat fields, blackened for miles, the carbonized carcass of a tractor. 'There were so many flames at the beginning … I could not see if anyone was inside,' says William, in shock. His friend, a 65-year-old farmer who was harvesting his field between Blicourt and Luchy, in northwestern Oise, died in the flames on Tuesday afternoon. 'He was a cautious person,' said the retiree. 'He had to make a malaise, it is not possible otherwise.' An investigation was opened by the prosecutor's office of Beauvais which, like the gendarmerie, favors the accidental thesis. The sexagenarian would have lost consciousness, then the tractor would have advanced several meters before firing for reasons that remain unknown."

Can she get away with murder anytime she wants by having each head blame one of the other two, providing reasonable doubt for all of them? And so on and so on!

Very curious, today's post, Jonny. Statistically, it's only remotely possible for the exact same appliances to burst into flame ANYWHERE, let alone in the same town (< 3 mi. away, ~ 10 min. drive). Since when do washing machines burst into flame anyway? This one is a DEFINITE JJFH incident.

Op-Ed: Area 51 holds secrets, all right, but they don’t involve UFOs and aliens
ReplyDeletehttps://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2019-07-22/area-51-secrets-environment-toxics-ufos-aliens
In the late 1990s, I represented workers at Area 51 who were suffering from health issues and trying to find out what toxic substances they had been exposed to on the base. The case ultimately led to the government acknowledging the existence of the site, where highly classified research into next-generation aircraft systems was conducted.
Many of those working outside, like Frost and Kasza, developed classic symptoms of toxic exposure.
Testing of the tissues from workers showed chemicals that were unknown to doctors.
Then-President Clinton stepped in and issued a waiver exempting Area 51 from such disclosures.
What was even more painful for the families was that the same week that [rat-bastard] Clinton signed that despicable order, he also held a national press conference apologizing for the actions of his predecessors in exposing workers in the same general area to nuclear testing and then covering up the harm to workers and military personnel. Even as he enjoyed praise for his empathy, Clinton barred Area 51 workers from obtaining the same information. [more]

An “Earnings Recession” Is Here – Big Companies All Over America Are Reporting Disastrous Financial Results
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/an-earnings-recession-is-here-big-companies-all-over-america-are-reporting-disastrous-financial-results
If the U.S. economy really was “booming”, then corporate earnings would be rising. But that isn’t happening. In fact, we haven’t seen corporate earnings fall like this since the last recession. They fell during the first quarter of this year, and based on the results we have so far, it appears that corporate earnings will be down substantially once again in the second quarter. When corporate earnings drop for two quarters in a row, that is officially considered to be an “earnings recession”, and that normally occurs just before the overall economy plunges into recession territory. As things get tighter for our corporate giants, we should expect a lot more layoffs in the months ahead, and the unemployment rate should rise quite briskly. In other words, it looks like our economic problems are about to accelerate substantially. [more]

ReplyDelete'Blade Runner' fans connect Rutger Hauer's death to his character's: 'Roy Batty also passed away in 2019'
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/rutger-hauer-dead-same-year-blade-runner-roy-batty-2019-195334634.html
Rutger Hauer, the Dutch actor who went up against Harrison Ford in 1982’s Blade Runner, died on July 19 at his home in the Netherlands, after a brief illness. He was 75.
Pretty quickly a connection was made between Hauer’s death to that of his villainous character Roy Batty’s in the Ridley Scott-directed sci-fi flick. That’s because the futuristic film was set in dystopian future Los Angeles of 2019. Now many fans are pointing out that Hauer and Batty “died in the same year.”
"All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain."
Rest in Peace, Rutger Hauer [more]

Everybody loves a summer full of sunshine, but do you get the feeling the hot days are getting hotter each year.
It’s not your imagination - the current heatwave doesn’t just feel scorching, but is set to bring the highest July temperatures ever.
Climate scientists have also predicted that 2019 is likely to be the second warmest year ever recorded, after 2016, and according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, nine of the 10 hottest years on record have been since 2000.
It’s no fluke, and experts have warned that we should probably get used to more extreme temperatures. [more]

Across the U.S., drilling of deeper wells is ‘unsustainable,’ researchers say
https://www.yahoo.com/news/across-u-drilling-deeper-wells-183723006.html
Wells supply drinking water for about 120 million Americans. In areas where groundwater levels have fallen because of heavy pumping, people have often responded by drilling deeper wells.
But exactly how much that has been occurring on a nationwide scale wasn’t clear until water experts compiled nearly 12 million well-drilling records from state and local agencies across the country. In a newly published study, researchers found that Americans in many areas from coast to coast are drilling deeper for groundwater.
The researchers said the widespread approach of drilling deeper wells is an “unsustainable stopgap” measure, putting some communities on a path toward exhausting their water supplies and coping with dry wells. [more]

Cause of oilfield wastewater spills in North Dakota unknown

Polar Midstream LLC reported July 14 that 21,000 gallons (79,500 liters) of oilfield wastewater leaked from an underground pipeline and into an unnamed tributary of the Missouri River. Suess said investigators don't think the spill reached the river, based on samples that were collected. The produced water in the tributary was being pumped out and "flushed" with fresh water, he said.
The second spill leaked more than 12,000 gallons (45,425 liters) of oilfield wastewater, impacting an unknown amount of pastureland near Epping. [more; ga-head, keep fracking . ..]
