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.

Top Pork Producer Shuts Key Plant and Warns of Meat Shortfall
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/top-pork-producer-shuts-key-173657598.html
The world’s biggest pork producer is shuttering a major U.S. plant indefinitely after a coronavirus outbreak among employees, with the company warning that closures across the country are taking American meat supplies “perilously close to the edge” of shortfalls.
Smithfield Foods Inc. will idle its Sioux Falls, South Dakota, pork-processing facility, which accounts for 4% to 5% of U.S. production, the company said in a statement Sunday. The move comes after state officials reported more than 200 cases of Covid-19 for plant employees, adding to a spike in infections that’s seen hundreds of American meat workers get sick. Plants have been forced to shutter or reduce output. [more]

Deep Economic Suffering Has Erupted All Over America, But Guess Who The Federal Reserve Is Helping?
ReplyDeletehttp://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/deep-economic-suffering-has-erupted-all-over-america-but-guess-who-the-federal-reserve-is-helping
As millions upon millions of Americans lose their jobs in the greatest wave of unemployment in U.S. history, the Federal Reserve has decided that now is the time to spend trillions of newly created dollars in a desperate attempt to protect financial asset values. In other words, as much of the country suddenly plunges into poverty, the Federal Reserve is working exceedingly hard to protect the wealth of the elite. Approximately fifty percent of all stock market wealth is owned by the wealthiest one percent of all Americans, and the amount of stock market wealth owned by the poorest 50 percent of all Americans is so small that it really doesn’t matter. And those running the Fed certainly understand that their reckless policies will create very painful inflation that will hit average American families extremely hard, but they don’t seem to care. At this point, they figure that asset values must be protected at all costs, and that is going to continue to expand the absolutely massive gap between the rich and the poor in this country.

Nearly half a billion people may end up in poverty due to coronavirus crisis: report
https://www.sott.net/article/432442-Nearly-half-a-billion-people-may-end-up-in-poverty-due-to-coronavirus-crisis-report
The fallout from the coronavirus spread that has killed more than 83,000 people and wreaked havoc on economies around the world could push around half a billion people into poverty, Oxfam said on Thursday.
To help mitigate the impact, Oxfam proposed a six point action plan that would deliver cash grants and bailouts to people and businesses in need, and also called for debt cancellation, more IMF support, and increased aid. Taxing wealth, extraordinary profits, and speculative financial products would help raise the funds needed, Oxfam added. [more]

Catherine Austin Fitts: We borrowed from the future and now it's over
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/432428-Catherine-Austin-Fitts-We-borrowed-from-the-future-and-now-its-over
Investment advisor and former Assistant Secretary of Housing Catherine Austin Fitts says,
"We've been printing massive amounts of dollars, and if you look at all the things we did to stop high speed debasement and unprecedented inflation, we've kind of run out of tricks. . . . Inflation is really sneaking up. My question: Is basically shutting down the small businesses and the small farm economy at high speed the way they have done, is that protecting us from going up a frightening inflation? Are we at Weimar Republic kind of inflation rates? I have been telling my subscribers to plant, plant and plant because the price of food is going to go through the roof. Another one of my questions: What's pressing for war? Is the debt spiral up and the inflation spiral up, is that more than they can handle?"
Fitts also says the covert war going on now is about the U.S. dollar and countries who want to stop using it for trade. If the dollar is used less, it will be worth less and maybe much less. [more; great article]

Chinese Doctor Shi Zhengli was part of a team that working on a coronavirus project jointly with US doctors in 2014 before it was shut down by the DHS for being too risky.
After the US research project was shut down, Dr. Shi continued her coronavirus research in Wuhan, China.
Doctor Shi Zhengli from China was part of a team, including Doctor Ralph S. Baric, that published an article in a 2015 edition of Nature Medicine.
From all of the published research papers that relate to this project going back to 2014, it's clear that COVID-19 was already in a lab.

Starving, angry and cannibalistic: America's rats are getting desperate amid coronavirus pandemic
https://www.yahoo.com/news/starving-angry-cannibalistic-americas-rats-083044613.html
[they'll be saying that about all the starving PEOPLE soon]
As millions of Americans shelter indoors to combat the deadly virus, which has claimed over 21,000 U.S. lives, many businesses — including restaurants and grocery stores — have closed or limited operations, cutting off many rodents' main sources for food. On deserted streets across the country, rats are in dire survival mode, experts say.
"They're mammals just like you and I, and so when you're really, really hungry, you're not going to act the same — you're going to act very bad, usually," he said. "So these rats are fighting with one another, now the adults are killing the young in the nest and cannibalizing the pups." [more]

A U.S. tribe’s uphill battle against climate change
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/u-tribe-uphill-battle-against-100736362.html
For several years, Fawn Sharp has seen her tribe on the coastline of Washington state lurch from crisis to crisis: rising sea levels have flooded the Quinault Indian Nation’s main village, and its staple sockeye salmon in nearby rivers have all but disappeared – a direct hit to the tribe’s finances and culture.
Now Sharp, the 49-year-old president of the Quinault, plans to move the tribe to higher ground, restore the fishery, and diversify its economy. The projects are foundering, she says, because of a lack of federal money to help Native Americans adapt to climate change.
The Quinault’s struggles reflect the broader challenges of Native Americans, who are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change because their tribes are tied to reservation land and rely on natural resources for subsistence and trade, according to the National Climate Assessment report written by federal agencies.

How a Premier U.S. Drug Company Became a Virus 'Super Spreader'
https://www.yahoo.com/news/premier-u-drug-company-became-121442563.html
The Biogen meeting was one of the earliest examples in the U.S. of what epidemiologists call “superspreading events” of COVID-19, where a small gathering of people leads to a huge number of infections. Unlike the most infamous clusters of cases stemming from a nursing home outside Seattle or a 40th birthday party in Connecticut, the Biogen cluster happened at a meeting of top health care professionals whose job it was to fight disease, not spread it.
“The smartest people in health care and drug development — and they were completely oblivious to the biggest thing that was about to shatter their world,” said John Carroll, editor of Endpoints News, which covers the biotech industry. [more]
Trump Reportedly Weighed Letting COVID-19 'Wash Over' U.S., But Was Warned Of Grim Toll
https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/trump-free-range-covid-19-death-toll-032245601.html
President Donald Trump asked his top health adviser last month why officials couldn’t simply let COVID-19 “wash over the country,” infecting people, The Washington Post reported Saturday.
In his haste to jumpstart the economy, Trump posed a frightening scenario to Dr. Anthony Fauci during a task force meeting in the Situation Room. No COVID-19 countermeasures would be taken so that people would quickly become infected, with some recovering to create a protective herd immunity, sources told the newspaper. [more]

Coronavirus May Also Cause Neurological Symptoms, Like Headaches
https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/coronavirus-neurological-symptoms-headaches-153756751.html
Fever, cough, shortness of breath are the key signs that come to mind with the novel coronavirus, but a new report from China suggests that a decent number of those who get sick with the disease may experience neurological symptoms as well.
As it is with most things related to COVID-19, we are still in the very early stages of collecting data that fully makes sense of what’s happening in the central nervous system. The new research, which was published Friday in the medical journal JAMA Neurology, was relatively small, and more research needs to be done to really confirm the findings.
The study does, however, provide some useful insight. Considering all of the anecdotes from infected people who said they lost their sense of taste and smell, and now with this paper shedding light on the relatively high incidence of other brain-related symptoms, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the virus can have a significant neurological effect on certain people.
The most common neurological symptoms include headaches and nerve pain.[more]
