Event Update For 2019-08-04





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: "The city of Austin issued a warning Sunday advising pet owners to keep their animals out of Lady Bird Lake because of the presence of dangerous algae. The city said the warning was issued 'out of an abundance of caution' and that the algae is not a threat to humans."

Note: Cool, if it's not a threat to humans then it shouldn't be a threat to dogs either...

Quote: "Police say firefighters found the body face-down on Sunday morning in Lady Bird Lake, located in downtown Austin. The body was located near the Seaholm Power Plant. Authorities were planning to launch a boat into the lake to retrieve the body. Police say the incident is not being investigated as a suspicious death and that there was no danger to the public."

Note: Huh, maybe humans aren't safe after all. 'Out of an abundance of caution', I wouldn't be listening to those officials saying the water is safe!

Quote: "The Egypt Fire Department arrived on scene and confirmed there were no airborne contaminates [sic] at the site that could pose a threat to first responders or the community."

Note: Even a slight breeze would blow any airborne contaminants away. They could've gotten one breath of hydrogen sulfide, collapsed dead, and then the cloud blew onward. There's no clinical test for hydrogen sulfide poisoning, so we'll never know, as will be the case with mostly everybody that's killed by hydrogen sulfide...

    $1,400,000,000,000 Gone In Less Than A Week – Stock Market In Turmoil As The Trade War Dramatically Escalates
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/1400000000000-gone-in-less-than-a-week-stock-market-in-turmoil-as-the-trade-war-dramatically-escalates

    Our trade war with China has begun to spiral out of control, and as a result global financial markets have been thrown into a state of turmoil. On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 767 points, and that represented the sixth-largest single day stock market decline in all of U.S. history. To put that into perspective, the biggest single day decline during the financial crisis of 2008 was just 777 points. So what we witnessed on Monday was definitely very serious. And the Nasdaq just got absolutely monkey-hammered as well. On a percentage basis, it was down even more than the Dow was, and it has now fallen for six days in a row. We have not seen a losing streak that long for the Nasdaq since President Trump was elected, and some analysts are convinced that even more chaos is on the way.

    Overall, 1.4 trillion dollars in stock market wealth has been completely wiped out in less than a week… [more]

  4. I can't believe that I missed the two dogs and one man dying by H2S in Lady Bird Lake in Austin. This lake is just the Colorado River going through the center of the city which was dammed up east of town to make it wider and more "controllable". Before the dams it used to flood downtown a lot. Until a few years ago it was called Town Lake.

    Anyway, I'm sure the algae and the H2S is going to get much, much worse in the coming days because we're forecast to hit 104 every day for the next week. After a coolish spring and first part of summer we are now descending into hell.

According to GJFD, the gas was not a result of the work being done by Xcel Energy and the source of the gas is unknown. Access to G Road was closed during the incident and many homeowners were unable to leave their homes. GJFD and Xcel took several gas readings and found that the hydrogen sulfide had dissipated."

    California city devastated by wildfire reportedly fears 'exodus': Here's why
    https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/california-city-devastated-wildfire-reportedly-193044453.html

    In Malibu, one of the California cities devastated by last year’s Woolsey Fire, most of the destroyed homes have yet to be rebuilt.

    City officials have approved replacement plans for just 113 of the 650 homes that burned, according to the report. Construction permits for just 12 have been approved.

    City Councilman Mikke Pierson told the newspaper he thinks 30 percent could sell.

    “So many people are traumatized by the fire, a lot of people haven’t even started the rebuild,” he said.

    In the meantime, people whose homes were destroyed have been forced to live on “loss of use” allowances paid out by insurance companies, the Times reported. But those payouts have limits, and if residents can’t rebuild before they money runs out, they may be forced to move on. [more]
