"In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue, but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing." -- Mark Twain

Event Update For 2021-01-15
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: "Tonight there was a hydrogen sulfide leak in a neighborhood in the town of Fontibón (Bogota), exactly on 17th street with Carrera 137 A. A team from the Specialized Group on Hazardous Materials and the Firefighters Bogotá attended the situation in that sector of the western part of the country’s capital. There are 15 people who are being tested for gas inhalation. 'They secured the area and gave priority to the attention of the people who were in the place and its surroundings, while the severity is determined and investigations are being carried out into how the emergency occurred,' the authorities detailed minutes after the emergency was known."
Quote: "This was not the only emergency that occurred in the town of Fontibón this Thursday. In the afternoon it was known that there was a fire on a lamp post that alerted the neighbors who live near the Parque del Libro.

2021-01-15 - 'Carbon-neutrality is a fairy tale', how the race for renewables is burning Europe’s forests:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/14/carbon-neutrality-is-a-fairy-tale-how-the-race-for-renewables-is-burning-europes-forests
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2021/01/14/carbon-neutrality-is-a-fairy-tale-how-the-race-for-renewables-is-burning-europes-forests/
Note: Theoretically burning up the forests is carbon neutral as long as new forests are replanted. The problem is that we're burning the forests NOW, which ramps up atmospheric CO2 immediately, and then the carbon isn't removed from the atmosphere for 50 years when new forests regrow. And the problem with that is that by burning up all the forests now, we are hitting tipping point after tipping point on the road to extinction and if those forests ever DO regrow in 50 years, there aren't going to be any human beings around to notice. So we're committing suicide, true, BUT we are doing so in a theoretically carbon-neutral way. Soooo...yay?! Also, it's not even theoretically carbon-neutral, because the logging machinery and trucks and the fuel they use aren't carbon-neutral and neither are the concrete and steel used for the roads to transport the wood and for the factories where the wood pellets are burned. This is just a feel-good scam that keeps us cutting down forests on the way to extinction...

Nearly 100 million Chinese people supplied drinking water with 'unsafe' levels of toxic chemicals
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/nearly-100-million-chinese-people-093000012.html
Drinking water provided to nearly 100 million people in China has levels of toxic chemicals that exceed safe limits, researchers have found.
A team from Tsinghua University monitored the levels of per and polyfluoroalkyls (PFAS) - man-made chemicals used in everything from fabrics to pesticides - using data from previous studies.
By analysing data from 526 drinking water samples across 66 cities with a total population of 450 million, the study found that the concentration of PFAS in more than 20 per cent of the studied cities - 16 in total - exceeded safe levels. [more]

Russian Leader Issues Grim Assessment As Washington Becomes Most Militarized City In World
https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2021/01/a-russian-perspective-of-events-in.html
A fascinating new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today discussing the lengthy grim assessment just published about the United States by Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev entitled “America 2.0—After The Election”, first notes his warning: “Russia-US relations are likely to remain extremely cold in coming years because it is highly likely the United States will consistently pursue an anti-Russian policy”, then says due to his being the former President of the Russian Federation and its Prime Minister, it bears critical notice his stating: “Many US leaders have at various times admitted, including to me personally, “It is true that our system is not perfect, but we are used to it and it is convenient for us”…The problem is that the rest of the world finds it increasingly “inconvenient” to work with such a country, as the US becomes an unpredictable partner”.

13 Israelis suffer FACIAL PARALYSIS after taking Pfizer Covid jab, amid influx of reports detailing adverse effects
https://www.sott.net/article/447343-13-Israelis-suffer-FACIAL-PARALYSIS-after-taking-Pfizer-Covid-jab-amid-influx-of-reports-detailing-adverse-effects
At least 13 people have reported mild facial paralysis after receiving the Pfizer/BioNTech jab, Israeli outlet Ynet reported, citing the Health Ministry, adding that officials believe the number of such cases could be higher.
Several reports have also linked the jab to unexplained deaths, but authorities have insisted that there is no evidence to suggest the vaccine is to blame in such cases. For example, a Portugese doctor who was reportedly in "perfect health"died shortly after being given the jab, but officials later concluded that there was no relationship between the death and the vaccine, adding that they could not disclose the exact cause of her death for legal reasons.

Fifty-five people in the United States have died after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, according to reports submitted to a federal system.
Deaths have occurred among people receiving both the Moderna and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, according to the reports.
The reporting system, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), is a federal database. The system is passive, meaning reports aren't automatically collected and must be filed. VAERS reports can be filed by anyone, including health care providers, patients, or family members.

An air force Oryx helicopter was also activated to hoist an elderly couple to dry land on Saturday morning, said Netcare 911. This was after emergency workers were unable to successfully move them after they had been stranded at their home.
Loch Vaal resident Jessica Moreira said debris in the water had made it difficult to assist flood victims in the area.
"It was hectic — beehive boxes and whole trees floating down," Moreira said, adding that water levels had since stabilised thanks to open sluice gates at the Vaal river Barrage reservoir. [more]

In the birthplace of Mexico’s vigilante “self-defense” movement, a new group has emerged entirely made up of women, who carry assault rifles and post roadblocks to fend off what they say is a bloody incursion into the state of Michoacán by the violent Jalisco cartel.
Some of the four dozen women warriors are pregnant; some carry their small children to the barricades with them. The rural area is traversed by dirt roads, through which they fear Jalisco gunmen could penetrate at a time when the homicide rate in Michoacán has spiked to levels not seen since 2013.

Outcry as Trump officials to transfer sacred Native American land to miners
https://www.yahoo.com/news/outcry-trump-officials-transfer-sacred-093028866.html
As one of its last acts, the Trump administration has set in motion the transfer of sacred Native American lands to a pair of Anglo-Australian mining conglomerates.
The 2,422-acre Arizona parcel called Oak Flat is of enormous significance to the Western Apache and is now on track for destruction by what is slated to be one of the largest copper mining operations in the United States.
Native Americans in the area have compared it to historical attacks on their tribes. “What was once gunpowder and disease is now replaced with bureaucratic negligence,” said Wendsler Nosie, founder of activist organization Apache Stronghold and a member of the Apache band descended from Geronimo. “Native people are treated as something invisible or gone. We are not. We don’t want to be pushed around any more.” [more]
Colombia's rapidly breeding 'cocaine hippos' must be stopped, scientists say

Scientists say Colombia must cull its so-called “cocaine hippos” that roam the Magdalena river basin as they are breeding voraciously and are an increasing menace.
Although nobody knows exactly how many there are, estimates put the total number between 80 and 100, making them the largest invasive species on the planet. [largest by mass, i assume]
Colombia is a hippo paradise. It rains regularly and there are no problems with food or predators. Researchers believe this optimal environment could have made the hippos more fertile.
Locals see the hippos as an unofficial mascot.
“Nobody likes the idea of shooting a hippo, but we have to accept that no other strategy is going to work,” ecologist Nataly Castelblanco-Martínez told The Telegraph. [more; leave them alone]

Almost a third of recovered Covid patients will end up back in hospital within five months and one in eight will die, alarming new figures have shown.
The current cut-off point for recording Covid deaths is 28 days after a positive test [there's the fudge factor], so it may mean thousands more people should be included in the coronavirus death statistics. [more like thousands LESS due to faulty/inflated #s]
Out of 47,780 people who were discharged from hospital in the first wave, 29.4 per cent were readmitted to hospital within 140 days, and 12.3 per cent of the total died.
“The message here is we really need to prepare for long Covid. It’s a mammoth task to follow up with these patients and the NHS is really pushed at the moment, but some sort of monitoring needs to be arranged.” [more; "i gotta keep my phony-baloney JOB!"]

Developers of Oxford-AstraZeneca Vaccine Tied to UK Eugenics Movement by Whitney Webb & Jeremy Loffredo
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2020/12/investigative-series/developers-of-oxford-astrazeneca-vaccine-tied-to-uk-eugenics-movement/
The developers of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine have previously undisclosed ties to the re-named British Eugenics Society as well as other Eugenics-linked institutions like the Wellcome Trust.
However, investigation into the vaccine’s developers and the realities of their “no-profit pledge” reveals a very different story than that which has been spun for most of the year by corporate press releases, experts, and academics tied to the vaccine and the mainstream press.
For instance, mainstream media has had little, if anything, to say about the role of the vaccine developers’ private company—Vaccitech—in the Oxford-AstraZeneca partnership, a company whose main investors include former top Deutsche Bank executives, Silicon Valley behemoth Google, and the UK government. All of them stand to profit from the vaccine alongside the vaccine’s two developers, Adrian Hill and Sarah Gilbert, who retain an estimated 10 percent stake in the company. Another overlooked point is the plan to dramatically alter the current sales model for the vaccine following the initial wave of its administration, which would see profits soar, especially if the now-obvious push to make COVID-19 vaccination an annual affair for the foreseeable future is made reality.
Arguably most troubling of all is the direct link of the vaccine’s lead developers to the Wellcome Trust and, in the case of Adrian Hill, the Galton Institute, two groups with longstanding ties to the UK eugenics movement. The latter organization, named for the “father of eugenics” Francis Galton, is the renamed UK Eugenics Society, a group notorious for over a century for its promotion of racist pseudoscience and efforts to “improve racial stock” by reducing the population of those deemed inferior.

The Johns Hopkins, CDC Plan to Mask Medical Experimentation on Minorities as “Racial Justice” [same two authors as above]
ReplyDeletehttps://unlimitedhangout.com/2020/11/investigative-series/the-johns-hopkins-cdc-plan-to-mask-medical-experimentation-on-minorities-as-racial-justice/ [this article and the previous one are from 2020]
This report is the first of a three-part series unmasking the racist components of the Pentagon-run project to both develop and distribute a COVID-19 vaccine. It explores the COVID-19 vaccine allocation strategy first outlined by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and subsequent government allocation strategies that were informed by Johns Hopkins.
The main focus of this allocation strategy is to deliver vaccines first to racial minorities but in such a way as to make those minorities feel “at ease” and not like “guinea pigs” when receiving an experimental vaccine that those documents admit is likely cause “certain adverse effects…more frequently in certain population subgroups.” Research has shown that those “subgroups” most at risk for adverse effects are these same minorities.
The documents also acknowledge that information warfare and economic coercion will likely be necessary to combat “vaccine hesitancy” among these minority groups. It even frames this clearly disproportionate focus on racial minorities as related to national concerns over “police brutality,” claiming that giving minorities the experimental vaccine first is necessary to combat “structural racism” and ensure “fairness and justice” in the healthcare system and society at large.
