Event Update For 2020-12-14
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.

2020-12-14 - A 'frozen rainforest' of microscopic life is melting Greenland's ice sheet:
http://www.cnn.com/2020/12/14/world/microscopic-life-melting-greenland-ice-sheet-c2e-spc-intl/index.html
http://www.newsbreak.com/news/2126114715418/a-frozen-rainforest-of-microscopic-life-is-melting-greenlands-ice-sheet
http://madison.com/video/cnn/news/a-frozen-rainforest-of-microscopic-life-is-melting-greenlands-ice-sheet/video_824ac7fd-1c04-5c1b-a4e5-cfbdf025cf15.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUO12TiSXno
Quote: "Three times the size of Texas, the Greenland ice sheet covers around 656,000 square miles. A vast repository of fresh water, it is the largest single contributor to global sea level rise, and has the potential to increase ocean levels by up to seven meters (23 feet). A recent study suggests the ice melt -- accelerated by the climate crisis -- may have already reached a point of no return."
Quote: "Cook's research on a part of the Greenland ice sheet spanning 3,900 square miles revealed that algae is responsible for up to 13% of the ice melt. In some localized areas, the algae accelerated melting by up to 26%."
Quote: "The spreading algae boosts ice melt, releasing more water and nutrients held in the ice, which in turn promotes algae growth -- a process Cook describes as a 'vicious feedback cycle.'"
Note: When they found some algae causing discoloration of ice in Antarctica a while back, I said then that this looked like it was going to be an accelerating problem, another self-reinforcing feedback, that would affect large areas of ice all over the planet. And awaaaay we go! So whatever projections have been made about ice melt, sea level rise and planetary temperature increases, they're underestimates. Microscopic life like this reproduces rapidly, so the area affected increases rapidly. Algae are basically painting ice a darker color and changing the albedo of the Earth which makes the planet absorb more heat faster...

Is Joe Biden seriously ill?
https://endoftheamericandream.com/is-joe-biden-seriously-ill/
A Joe Biden coughing fit has caused a firestorm of speculation to erupt on social media. If you don’t know what I am talking about, you can watch Joe Biden repeatedly cough and clear his throat during his most recent press conference right here. It is being reported that Biden either coughed or cleared his throat 17 times during his 14 minute speech, and his voice was very hoarse the entire time. As you will see below, Biden is admitting that he has “a cold”, and perhaps that is all that it is. But there is a long tradition in Washington of politicians from both parties covering up major health problems, and many are wondering whether Biden is covering up something now. So could it be possible that Joe Biden is seriously ill? We may not get an immediate answer to that question, but without a doubt many of his supporters have become extremely alarmed. [more]

'You're a piece of sh*t and I hope everyone like you dies,' says Biden to Democratic voter in stirring call for party unity

As part of his effort to reinvigorate the coalition that once put Barack Obama in the White House, presidential candidate Joe Biden issued a moving plea for party unity when he told a Democratic voter "You're a piece of shit and I hope everyone like you dies," reports confirmed Thursday.
"Look here, pal, fuck you and fuck anybody who thinks like you," the former vice president said to a town hall participant in what political experts have hailed as a rousing call for Democrats, independents, and even moderate Republicans to join together in harmony and overcome the divisiveness and rancor that have characterized the Trump era.
"If that's what you believe, you're clearly an idiot, and I don't need your vote. Seriously, you and every single person in this fucking town deserves to die. Now back the hell up before I tear your throat out with my goddamn teeth."
After the event, a screaming, red-faced Biden reportedly continued to share his inspiring vision by informing a group of unwitting Iowans that he could beat their asses with one hand tied behind his back.

For the last two years, the Department of Defense's newly revamped "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force" (or UAPTF) has been busy briefing lawmakers, Intelligence Community stakeholders, and the highest levels of the U.S. military on encounters with what they say are mysterious airborne objects that defy conventional explanations.
Along with classified briefings, multiple senior U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the matter say two classified intelligence reports on UAP have been widely distributed to the U.S. Intelligence Community. Numerous sources from various government agencies told The Debrief that these reports include clear photographic evidence of UAP. The reports also explicitly state that the Task Force is considering the possibility that these unidentified objects could, as stated by one source from the U.S. Intelligence Community said, be operated by "intelligences of unknown origin."

States Where Climate Change Is Making an Impact on Public Health
https://www.yahoo.com/news/states-where-climate-change-making-222119645.html
In the West, tens of thousands of wildfires -- an annual occurrence dramatically exacerbated by exceptionally hot, dry weather -- burned upwards of 10 million acres. Dozens were killed directly from the blazes and thousands lost their homes; millions of other residents were forced to breathe what was temporarily some of the world's most polluted air, possibly leading to long-term health problems.
Thousands of miles away, the Atlantic Ocean produced a record-breaking 30 named hurricanes and tropical storms, including 12 that made landfall on the continental United States. Category 4 Hurricane Laura, among the strongest storms ever to hit the country, caused dozens of deaths in Louisiana and billions of dollars in damage. A continually warming Atlantic means such storms will likely only become more frequent.
Here are the 10 states that are most vulnerable to public health effects from climate change: [see list]
States farther north fared better. Alaska, with an overall vulnerability score of 3.4, ranked as the least vulnerable. But even the nation's coldest and most rugged state won't be spared: the report notes that warming waters off the Alaskan coast are poisoning shellfish, endangering the lives of Alaska Natives.

Man with chainsaw chases McDonald's employees, steals food and drink
https://www.yahoo.com/gma/man-chainsaw-chases-mcdonalds-employees-114815548.html
A man has been arrested after entering a McDonald’s establishment and stealing food before chasing employees with a chainsaw.
The incident occurred at approximately 3:30 p.m. a McDonald’s franchise in Portland, Maine, when the Westbrook Police Department received a report that a male suspect was chasing people with a chainsaw.
According to an investigation by the Westbrook Police Department, the suspect -- 26-year-old Alice Sweet of Portland, Maine -- entered the McDonald’s with a chainsaw and went behind the counter where employees were actively preparing food. Sweet then reportedly revved the chainsaw intermittently before stealing a drink and some food.
“When the manager confronted the suspect in the parking lot, the suspect began chasing the manager with the chainsaw,” authorities said in a statement on social media. “The suspect also used the chainsaw to damage two vehicles that were at the restaurant.” [more]

Children in Florida are faring worse than the national average, according to a new report that examined the pandemic’s impact on families in all 50 states.
Housing stability in particular appears grim for Florida families with children. Nearly a quarter of households — 23% — indicated slight or no confidence they would make the next rent or mortgage payment on time, compared to 18% nationally.
Florida families with children also fared worse in food security and healthcare, according to the KIDS COUNT report published by the Annie E. Casey Foundation Monday.

Mathematicians Explore Mirror Link Between Two Geometric Worlds
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/mathematicians-explore-mirror-link-between-two-geometric-worlds
Decades after physicists happened upon a stunning mathematical coincidence, researchers are getting close to understanding the link between two seemingly unrelated geometric universes.
“Algebraic geometry is a more rigid world, whereas symplectic geometry is more flexible,” said Nick Sheridan, a research fellow at Cambridge. “That’s one reason they’re such different worlds, and it’s so surprising they end up being equivalent in a deep sense.”
In the late 1980s, string theorists came up with two ways to describe the missing six dimensions: one derived from symplectic geometry, the other from complex geometry. They demonstrated that either type of space was consistent with the four-dimensional world they were trying to explain. Such a pairing is called a duality: Either one works, and there’s no test you could use to distinguish between them. [more; continue if interested]

The Hunter Biden criminal probe supports a Chinese scholar's claim about Beijing's influence with the Biden administration
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/445852-The-Hunter-Biden-criminal-probe-supports-a-Chinese-scholars-claim-about-Beijings-influence-with-the-Biden-administration
Documents relating to Hunter Biden's exploitation of his father's name to enrich himself and other relatives through deals with China were among the cache published in the week before the election by The New York Post — revelations censored by Twitter and Facebook and steadfastly ignored by most mainstream news outlets. That concerted repression effort by media outlets and Silicon Valley left it to right-wing outlet such as Fox News and The Daily Caller to report, which in turn meant that millions of Americans were kept in the dark before voting.
a Chinese scholar of political science and international finance, Di Donghseng, insisted that Beijing will have far more influence in Washington under a Biden administration than it did with the Trump administration.
The reason, Di said, is that China's ability to get its way in Washington has long depended upon its numerous powerful Wall Street allies. But those allies, he said, had difficulty controlling Trump, but will exert virtually unfettered power over Biden. That China cultivated extensive financial ties to Hunter Biden, Di explained, will be crucial for bolstering Beijing's influence even further.
[there you go, the Democratic Chinese Communist Party is born]
Referring to the Trump-era trade war between the two countries, Di posed this question: "Why did China and the U.S. use to be able to settle all kinds of issues between 1992 [when Clinton became President] and 2016 [when Obama's left office]?" He then provided this answer: It's just because we have people at the top. We have our old friends who are at the top of America's core inner circle of power and influence. [more]

Fraud analyst finds average of 2 to 3 percent shift for Biden in counties that used Dominion
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/445855-Fraud-analyst-finds-average-of-2-to-3-percent-shift-for-Biden-in-counties-that-used-Dominion
A man who's made a living developing fraud detection algorithms has discovered a curious phenomenon: Counties that started using Dominion Voting Systems machines have on average moved by 2 to 3 points to the Democrat presidential candidate from the Republican compared to counties that didn't adopt the machines.
The difference persisted even after he controlled for a number of factors, including county population and various demographic characteristics.
"I kind of was too afraid to go public because I knew that it won't help me in terms of, you know, half the population now thinks that I'm a tin-foil-hat person. And I'm aware of that," he said.
"But I just decided that if nobody can prove me wrong, it's not fair for me to withhold this information, and that it belongs in the hands of the public.
"If I've done something wrong with the analysis, then maybe somebody out there will prove it wrong, and that's fine with me. I'd rather get to the truth than be right. I felt like if I didn't publish this, I'm a coward."
He found that Dominion use was associated with a 1.55 percentage point decrease in the Republican vote and a 1.55 percentage point increase in the Democratic vote in the presidential race.
In his estimation, the results were significant enough to potentially flip elections in at least four states. [then, they counted on THREATENED ANTIFA VIOLENCE to sway all the courts]
If this was a suspected insurance fraud case, the results would warrant a probe, he said.
A recent forensic audit in one Michigan county concluded the system is "intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results." [more]

Judges aren't scared of Antifa. Antifa members are responsible for one murder. Right-wing extremist thugs are responsible for more than 300. Did you ever hear about any left-wing people plotting to kill Republicans after Trump won? Nope. But some Trump supporter thugs were plotting to kidnap and execute the governor of Michigan. It's the right-wing extremists, mostly Trump supporters, that are the serious threat. That's why they're at the top of the domestic terror threat lists.
ReplyDeleteBesides, judges aren't a bunch of cowards. They rule against drug lords, mob bosses, international sex traffickers, MS-13 gang members, you name it. I doubt ANY of the 60 judges that ruled against Trump are scared of a whole lot, much less ALL of them. There are simply rules of evidence. Conjecture, hearsay, hypotheses and conspiracy theories don't count as evidence. Since that's what Trump's lawyers brought, of course their suits got thrown out. If the judges had let that kind of stuff stand as evidence then the judges could be impeached for incompetence and lose their cushy jobs. Losing their cushy jobs - THAT they are probably scared of, even more than they are of having some Trump supporter thugs with guns plot to kidnap them and execute them for not accepting non-evidence as evidence.
