Event Update For 2020-07-31





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.

2020-07-31 - Unknown stench increasingly hitting Novosibirsk along the Ob River in Siberia (Russia):
http://www.globaldomainsnews.com/map-stench-in-novosibirsk-looking-the-names-of-the-streets-suffocated-by-the-terrible-smell

Quote: "Complaints of a terrible stench in Novosibirsk come to the editor NGS more and more often. This week citizens have double-resented an unpleasant odor — but there is still two days. The mayor’s Elbow promised each wave will be recorded, and the search for the source of the smell — will be continued. But time goes, and the problem still does not solved."

Note: Animal and plant matter that has been frozen for thousands of years is thawing across millions of acres of land in Siberia as global heating accelerates. Hydrogen sulfide and methane are the result of anaerobic digestion of rotting biomatter. This entire area of thawing permafrost may become one gigantic landfill full of rotting biomatter which spews methane and hydrogen sulfide. This area will likely not be very inhabitable once things get bad enough. Both hydrogen sulfide and methane are also highly flammable and vast wildfires have been roaring through millions of acres in Siberia for months...

2020-07-31 - Poisonous hydrogen sulfide is detected at 15 times the permitted concentration in Omsk, Siberia (Russia):

2020-07-31 - Toxic algae blooms increase by 600% since 2010 across the US as global heating accelerates:
http://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/07/31/metro/temperatures-rise-nightmare-toxic-algae-plagues-hidden-gems-cape-cod/

Quote: "The warming temperatures, combined with increased development and more powerful storms that wash fertilizers, wastewater, and other damaging nutrients into the ponds, have created ideal breeding grounds for cyanobacteria, the toxic ingredients of algae blooms that can multiply in dangerous amounts in very short periods."

Quote: "Under the right conditions, cyanobacteria can double their population every 30 minutes, he said."

Quote: "Last year, more than 500 such algae blooms were reported in the nation’s lakes, ponds, and rivers — 18 percent more than the year before and more than seven times the number reported in 2010, according to the Environmental Working Group, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C., that tracks algae blooms."

El-Lissy said other packages contain vegetables like cabbage and herbs including mint, sage, rosemary, and lavender.

    "At this time, we don’t have any evidence indicating this is something other than a 'brushing scam' where people receive unsolicited items from a seller who then posts false customer reviews to boost sales," the statement said.

    [ah you FAH-KIN' KIDDIN'-ME-HE'?]

    The housing crisis is here
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/housing-crisis-095502252.html

    This summer's housing market is split into two alternate realities, said Heather Long at The Washington Post. Realtors' cellphones have been "ringing with eager buyers" looking to flee urban areas for the suburbs while mortgage interest rates are at record lows. One house on the market outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, "received 26 offers the initial weekend it was for sale." For renters, on the other hand, the outlook is grim. A federal eviction moratorium expired last week, meaning that many tenants could have only 30 days to pony up what they owe landlords or get kicked to the curb. This week, Congress signaled it would extend the moratorium to give renters more breathing room while debating whether to extend other aid, such as unemployment benefits and stimulus checks — some of "the few lifelines renters had during the pandemic."

    The eviction wave has already started, said Will Parker at The Wall Street Journal. The national moratorium only covered tenants in buildings with federally backed mortgages. States passed their own eviction limits, but some, such as Texas, have already let them expire. In a sign of things to come, attorneys in Houston are seeing "long lines at courthouses, sometimes people standing shoulder to shoulder" awaiting eviction hearings.

That will only get worse if the state extends its eviction ban without help for property owners. [more]
