Event Update For 2020-09-24




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 heavy smoke from wildfires that choked much of California in recent weeks was more than an inconvenience. It was deadly. And it almost certainly killed more people than the flames from the massive fires themselves, health experts say. Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 10, the historically bad concentrations of wildfire smoke were responsible for at least 1,200 and possibly up to 3,000 deaths in California that otherwise would not have occurred, according to an estimate by researchers at Stanford University."

    Ocean Heat Waves Are Directly Linked to Climate Change
    http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2020/09/24/ocean-heat-waves-are-directly-linked-to-climate-change/

    Six years ago, a huge part of the Pacific Ocean near North America quickly warmed, reaching temperatures more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. Nicknamed “the blob,” it persisted for two years, with devastating impacts on marine life, including sea lions and salmon.

    The blob was a marine heat wave, the oceanic equivalent of a deadly summer atmospheric one. It was far from a solitary event: Tens of thousands have occurred in the past four decades, although most are far smaller and last for days rather than years. The largest and longest ones have occurred with increasing frequency over time.

    On Thursday, scientists revealed the culprit. Climate change, they said, is making severe marine heat waves much more likely. [more]

    Why dangerous ‘forever chemicals’ are allowed in US drinking water
    http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2020/09/24/why-dangerous-forever-chemicals-are-allowed-in-us-drinking-water/

    Known as PFAS, for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, the chemicals in this class of approximately 5,000 substances have become notorious as much for their potential danger as for their perseverance. Because the chemical bonds that hold the compounds together don’t break down easily, they last a very long time – a reality that has led to a commonly used name for the group: “Forever chemicals.”

    PFAS compounds are also ubiquitous, used in a range of products, from food-delivery boxes to nonstick cookware to stain-resistant clothing. But one of the most troubling routes to PFAS exposure is drinking water that has been contaminated by discharges from factories and other facilities.

    The Environmental Protection Agency, which regulates US drinking water, has been investigating PFAS since the late 1990s. It set voluntary guidelines of 70 parts per trillion (ppt) for two of the compounds combined that are most studied and believed to be dangerous: PFOA, or perfluorooctanoic acid, and PFOS, or perfluorooctanesulfonic acid. (For context, 1 ppt is the equivalent of one grain of sand in an Olympic-sized swimming pool, according to some estimates.)

    But despite the agency’s 20-plus years of information gathering, it still has not issued an enforceable nationwide standard on PFAS. The agency has failed to act even as more about the risks of the chemical group has become known, and even as some scientists and environmental organizations have concluded that a far lower concentration of PFAS in water–1 ppt–is a more appropriate limit.

    For the next 20 years it’s going to get colder and colder, on average, says Corbyn who holds a B.Sc. in Physics and an M.Sc. in Astrophysics.

    According to weather experts, subtropical storm Alpha, which barrelled along the Portuguese coast and through some parts of Spain last weekend, was the first event of its kind to be registered since weather records began.

    Weather experts appear to be in agreement, Visão reports, that there seems to be a growing movement of weather phenomena more typical of the American coastline on Europe's doorstep. Last year, three other tropical phenomena landed in Portugal and Spain, whereas the norm would be the odd occurrence over extended periods. [more; video]

    How to rapidly make herbal medicine and natural antibiotics using an ULTRASONIC CLEANER
    https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/09/make-your-own-antibiotic-or-anti-viral.html

    This technique — which is based on a similar technique we use in the laboratory to prepare food samples for pesticide testing — allows you to quickly extract potent medicinal chemicals from almost any herb. This means you can make your own natural antibiotics and antiviral substances, and you don’t have to wait weeks or months for a typical alcohol extract to run its course.

    As we’ve long known from our food science activities in the lab, water is a much better solvent than alcohol for most foods and herbs, as water actually pulls out more phytochemicals than does common alcohol. (This seems counterintuitive, but it’s true.)

    You can use almost any ultrasonic cleaner to accomplish this, although we recommend cleaners that are made out of stainless steel. [more]

    What are the Ten Steps to Fascism? How did we Get Here?

    Step Ten of the Ten Steps of Fascism

    Obviously, we are in an endgame, a catastrophic slide to lasting authoritarianism, as I documented here.

    We have very little time before we reach a point of no return.

    As I’ve often pointed out, democracies don’t close arithmetically but geometrically – that is, there is a slow slide during which citizens can indeed turn events in another direction, using democracy itself; but then, in the playbook of fascism, there will be a sudden coordinated shock, after which no return is possible; history shows it’s extraordinarily difficult for a nation or people to retrieve a collapsed democratic civil society that recently had a rule of law. Even then, bloodshed, arrests, suppression and anguish are the future, often for years or generations.

    So in the interest of avoiding that at all costs, I am saying what the playbook holds so that we might avoid that desperate future still. I’ll also explain how the very real COVID crisis is being used to move things rapidly along. [more; Part one is here]

    WHO Fakes Coronavirus Pandemic

    Belgium Health Experts Demand Investigation Of WHO For Faking Coronavirus Pandemic
    https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/09/who-fakes-coronavirus-pandemic.html

    Medical Doctors and Health Professionals of Belgium have written an open letter to authorities demanding the investigation of WHO for creating coronavirus infodemic faking the pandemic. The following letter has made an impact on public health authorities not only in Belgium but around the world. The text could pertain to any case in which states locked down their citizens rather than allow people freedom and permit medical professionals to bear the primary job of disease mitigation.

    We, Belgian doctors and health professionals, wish to express our serious concern about the evolution of the situation in the recent months surrounding the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We call on politicians to be independently and critically informed in the decision-making process and in the compulsory implementation of corona-measures. We ask for an open debate, where all experts are represented without any form of censorship. After the initial panic surrounding covid-19, the objective facts now show a completely different picture – there is no medical justification for any emergency policy anymore. [more]

    1. Speaking of the Ten Steps to Fascism....A thought occurred to me yesterday. What if the real power in this country, you know the famed Powahs That Be who are largely out of sight, are going to let Trump essentially become 'Murica's first bonafide Tyrant In Chief? And what if, now hold on...don't run away yet...they "allowed" him to win in 2016 in the first place?

      The rigged economic game is over and has been over for quite some time. It was essentially over in 2008-09. They've done a masterful job at keeping it going with their fantastical monetary policy for 12 years now. You know, just keep on "printing". No amount of trillions is too much. Just print, print, print.... But, that "fix" is just about over too. It was technically over during the 4th quarter of last year when the Fed had to step in and "save" the Repo Market with the banks.

      Then...ta da!!! COVID 19 comes along! It's the pandemic's fault!! But, they also get to blame Trump too because, well, he's an idiot. And a buffoon. And a fool. Etc... Perfect scapegoat(s). Of course he "mishandled" the pandemic too. Perfect! As he was supposed to. He's played right into their hands. No, he's not in on the "plan". Too stupid. But he's so easily manipulated and they know which moves he'll make almost every time before he even thinks to make them. They know his psychological make up perfectly.

      Okay, so what do I think may be their plan? Let Trump refuse to concede and have the GOP's bestest and brightest Lawfare attorney's battle out the "election" in court. Let them rig and finagle the Electors in the battle ground states to get him over the top in the Electoral College count. Let the chaos begin and then let it ramp up. Let Trump start making moves to essentially seize control. The Dems, and they've already started to do this, will act like they can't stop it. They'll roll over and piss on themselves because that's what they do. And it's what they'll be told to do. The leadership, that is.

      So now the US as a Constitutional Republic suffers a mortal wound. The system as we knew it ends. Total chaos, as you can imagine. You think the riots have been bad so far? Whoa Nelly we ain't seen nuthin' yet. Economic collapse like you've never seen. Probably the COVID second wave to boot. Then....

      The Powahs That Be come up with a "solution" to the Trump tyrannical fiasco and problem. That solution is the one they've wanted to implement for a long time but couldn't because times were still just too good. The solution? My bet is a Chinese style system. Oh it'll bring stability and calm alright. Oh yes!

      Thanks for going down Mike D's rabbit hole. Now get the popcorn and beverage of your choice and prepare for the November Show! We'll see if I'm full of it or not.

    2. I failed to mention another reason why "they" haven't implemented the system they've wanted in the US so far, and that is they needed the smart technology to become even more advanced. Now it is. I think they're ready now to introduce the Big Brother system in a manner that even Orwell and Huxley would be knocked over with in amazement. And most people will welcome it after they've been through what we're about to go through. That's also the key....widespread acceptance. Get the rebels down to a workable low percentage.

    3. I think Trump's laid the groundwork to stage a coup of one sort another. He'll either discount enough mail-in ballots to ensure victory or, failing that, his legislators in battleground states will say the mail-in ballots can't be trusted and give him enough electoral votes for victory. If there's any legal issues, he's stacked the courts with 'his' judges, to provide a veneer of legitimacy.

      If the military goes along, then he can keep us in a perpetual state of emergency. If anyone agitates, the military can destroy them. As an example, they have mobile artillery that can hit targets 1,000 miles away. With 3 of those and some satellite help with targeting they could hit anywhere in the continental US, and many areas could be hit by two of them.

      And he can just start 'disappearing' people he perceives as enemies, until there are no such people left. 'National security threat', blah blah. And after that, for one reason or another, contrived if necessary, it will never again be safe to have an 'old-school' election, so 'with regret', he'll just have to continue until such time as it's 'safe to have new elections'.

      Delete
    4. Yes! Trump's groundwork is exactly what the Powahs That Be wanted him to lay. It is right on their plan, but he thinks it's all him and about him. He'll be discarded when they're done with him. The Pentagon is of course controlled too. Not every rank and file member of each branch. The upper brass is controlled and some of them know "the plan" and are down with it. Some of the most nefarious characters in our system are generals. Pentagon generals especially. Oh, don't mean to leave out admirals! They suck too!

      Delete
    5. Obviously I hope I'm wrong about all that. But that's basically the roadmap to turn a democracy into a dictatorship, and whenever you look to see if he's taken a step in that direction, he has. All the steps he has taken in that direction are either purposeful, with seizing power as the goal, or it's the biggest coincidence I've ever seen or heard of.

      And if you want to leave for an actual democracy, don't be so sure that that will be allowed.

  5. If we enter an ice age, there will be obvious signs. One of the first would be that at least one of the last 5 years would be cooler than the average over, say, the previous 20 years. And that would then be followed by additional years that are cooler than average. Currently the last 5 years are the warmest on record, and the upward trajectory in planetary temperatures shows no signs of slowing down, much less dramatically reversing. So there's not even a hint of an ice age in sight. Wake me up when we get even one year that's cooler than the 20-year average.

    Several military planes have crashed in Ukraine during training flights in recent years. A pilot was killed in December 2018 after his Su-27 fighter crashed during landing in the Zhytomyr region.

    Two months earlier, the same model of fighter crashed in a neighbouring region during the Clear Sky 2018 joint military exercises between Ukraine and NATO countries, killing the American and Ukrainian pilots on board. [more; crash training]

    Man dies from brain-eating amoeba linked to potted soil
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-dies-brain-eating-amoeba-132843969.html

    A man in Georgia died at 82 after being infected by an amoeba that is presumed to have grown in soil, according to a case study published by researchers at Emory University.

    According to the case study, an autopsy found "liquefactive necrosis" in the brain, which research published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information defines as "characterized by partial or complete dissolution of dead tissue and transformation into a liquid, viscous mass," which happens in just hours.

    The amoeba, which was identified of the acanthamoeba species, is similar to Naegleria fowleri, another type of amoeba which is usually transmitted through water in lakes and ponds. The acanthamoeba castellanii is most commonly transmitted through soil, dust and some bodies of water, according to Dr. Ishan Mehta, one of the study authors and an assistant professor at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.

    In this situation, it appears that the man contracted the amoeba while taking care of a potted plant. Mehta said that because the amoeba is so rare, there isn't a lot of data about what kind of soil or environment it tends to thrive in. [more]

    Investigators say they found thousands of child porn images in the home of a popular kids' YouTuber
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/investigators-found-thousands-child-porn-185043060.html

    A science educator whose YouTube channel "The Happy Scientist" taught children about science has been indicted on federal child pornography charges.

    Investigators allege that John Robert Krampf, 64, knowingly received and possessed pornographic content "involving a minor who had not attained 12 years of age," court documents show.

    Dixie State University Police Chief Blair Barfuss, involved in the case in his capacity as a special agent on the FBI's Child Exploitation Task Force, told Insider that Krampf admitted to "downloading multiple files of child abuse material."

    Krampf began posting educational science videos online in 2006, after decades of touring the US to educate children about science through live shows. [more]
