"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 2021-06-01
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.

5 garbage trucks burn in one incident! Speaking of which:
Last month had 8 garbage trucks burn in as many days, while over in Hull, UK there were 7 JJFH incidents in 6 days. On the 21st both a garbage truck was destroyed by fire and a JJFH event happened. This May was an "improvement" on May of last year when only 7 garbage trucks burned in only 4 days while there were only 4 JJFH events in Hull over 3 days.

Greenhouse gas levels keep rising at accelerating rates
https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2021/06/greenhouse-gas-levels-keep-rising-at-accelerating-rates.html
[besides CO2, which leads off the list]
Methane
The 2020 global annual methane (CH₄) growth rate of 15.85 ppb was the highest on record. The global CH₄ level in January 2021 was 1893.4 ppb, 20 ppb higher than the January 2020 level.
Nitrous Oxide
The 2020 global annual nitrous oxide (N₂O) growth rate of 1.33 ppb was the highest on record. The global N₂O level in January 2021 was 333.9 ppb, 1.4 ppb higher than the January 2020 level.
[in addition] the accumulation of energy going into melting the sea ice is at record high for the time of year.
In conclusion, there could be a huge temperature rise by 2026.
At a 3°C rise, humans will likely go extinct, making it from some perspectives futile to speculate about what will happen beyond 2026. [more]

As Trust In The Government Erodes, Many Americans Are Discovering That It Is TOO LATE To Fully Implement Their Backup Plans
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/as-trust-in-the-government-erodes-many-americans-are-discovering-that-it-is-too-late-to-fully-implement-their-backup-plans/
Never put anything in an email that you do not want the entire world to see. Unfortunately, Dr. Tony Fauci is learning that lesson the hard way. Throughout the course of this pandemic, the mainstream media has been heralding Fauci as a voice of reason that we should trust without hesitation. He came to be regarded as the ultimate authority on all questions related to COVID, and social media companies banned countless users that dared to suggest that he might be wrong about certain things. Well, now everything is going to change. Thanks to thousands of Fauci emails that have been obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request, we have discovered that Fauci was lying to all of us over and over again. During his opening monologue on Wednesday night, Tucker Carlson actually used the phrase “utter fraudulence” to describe Fauci and his lies.
At the height of the pandemic, the mainstream media had dubbed Fauci America’s “most trusted voice”, and the big news networks treated him as the pinnacle of scientific knowledge and integrity.
But it turns out that he was flat out lying from the very start. His emails show that he knew exactly what was going on at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and that is because he was funding the research. [how about some JAIL time! Firing squad would be better]
This is the latest bombshell in a long string of incidents which have caused an increasing number of Americans to lose faith in our system.
Everywhere you turn these days, prominent voices are lying. Virtually everyone has an agenda to push, virtually everyone has ulterior motives, and virtually everyone will do whatever it takes to cover their rear ends at all costs.
Meanwhile, many people that had put off stocking up for the hard times that are approaching are discovering that there are widespread shortages of many of the products that they want to stock up on.
At this point, even the Federal Reserve is starting to panic about how widespread the shortages have become.
Those that were promising you that everything would turn out just fine if you followed their instructions (such as Dr. Fauci) were not being straight with you.
Everything is not going to be okay. The truth is that we are headed into the biggest meltdown in American history, and it is going to be exceedingly painful. [more]

Angry elephant rams truck off the road in Kruger National Park, South Africa
https://www.sott.net/article/453624-Angry-elephant-rams-truck-off-the-road-in-Kruger-National-Park-South-Africa
The driver of a bakkie in the Klaserie area of Kruger National Park was stunned into silence earlier this week, after clashing with a furious elephant on a dirt road. Needless to say, the vehicle came off MUCH worse.
During the drive, the bakkie appeared to inadvertently get too close to one of the elephant calves, putting the family on high alert. The clip shows the adult ellie approaching the car and apparently backing away - but this was only to get a good charge lined up. The grey marvel then bounds down the road, ready to deliver a clear message to the motorist.
The elephant gets its tusks under the bonnet, and crumples the metal covering without breaking a sweat. Bits of debris fly off the car during the attack, as the wild beast continues to push the bakkie away. After spinning the driver out, the Kruger native then heads back to its familial duties.

The 75-year-old was rushed to hospital after the beast clawed her face and tried to drag her away in the Asturias region in northern Spain.
The pensioner, identified only as Carmen, was enjoying an evening stroll with some pals after dinner when the animal appeared suddenly at around 9pm on Sunday.
The bear struck her in the face with one of its front claws after rearing up on its back legs.
According to local reports, the animal tried to drag the woman away before her friends, who were a few feet a head of her, got the bear to desist by shouting at it. [more]

"This is not your father's creationism," says skeptic and atheist Michael Shermer in a new podcast with Stephen Meyer about Return of the God Hypothesis. "This is far more serious." And Shermer shows it by going two hours with Meyer, placing every objection before him that he can think of. The case in Meyer's book is not creationism at all, of course, but I'll accept the compliment on Steve's behalf. Shermer has my admiration in return. This is not your father's village atheism, either. That a conversation like this is possible represents a hopeful sign for our culture. It's not a debate — it's a discussion between respectful, eminently thoughtful people, neither of whom is trying to "win." We could all trying practicing that more with people who disagree with us.
Every cosmology either has theistic implications, or ends up wrecking the basis for rational scientific investigation of nature. This may be the most interesting dialogue that Return of the God Hypothesis has sparked so far, and that is no small measure of praise. [more]
Dunning-Kruger Effect: New study shows overconfidence in news judgment
https://www.sott.net/article/453582-Dunning-Kruger-Effect-New-study-shows-overconfidence-in-news-judgment
A new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that individuals who falsely believe they are able to identify false news are more likely to fall victim to it. In the article published today, Ben Lyons, assistant professor of communication at the University of Utah, and his colleagues examine the concern about the public's susceptibility to false news due to their inability to recognize their own limitations in identifying such information.
"Though Americans believe confusion caused by false news is extensive, relatively few indicate having seen or shared it," said Lyons. "If people incorrectly see themselves as highly skilled at identifying false news, they may unwittingly be more likely to consume, believe and share it, especially if it conforms to their worldview." [oh, you mean like ME?!]
"Our results paint a worrying picture. Many people are simply unaware of their own vulnerability to misinformation."
The vast majority of respondents — about 90 percent — reported they are above average in their ability to discern false and legitimate news headlines. Three in four individuals overestimated their ability to distinguish between legitimate and false news headlines and respondents placed themselves 22 percentiles higher than their score warranted, on average. About 20 percent of respondents rated themselves 50 or more percentiles higher than their score warranted.

COVID “Vaccines”: A Faltering Framework
ReplyDeletehttps://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-vaccines-faltering-framework/5746805
This analysis supports conclusions made in my earlier analysis. That being: the Covid injections are NOT “95% efficacious”.
Beyond the analysts’ tepid language couched in scientific jargon, the graphic that appears is quite startling. As is often true, the devil lies in the details, in this case, the difference between relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction. (For elaboration on these metrics, please see my article linked above).
From the “absolute risk reduction” you can calculate the “Number Needed to Vaccinate” which signifies approximately how many people must be injected to hypothetically benefit just one person. It is a metric every person needs to understand before taking the Covid injection.
For Pfizer, this number is estimated at 119. This means 119 people must be injected for it to reduce a “Covid” case in one person. Therefore, 118 of those people incurred (potential) risk with no benefit whatsoever.
Some estimates are even higher, according to The Lancet, data from the Pfizer rollout in Israel suggests an NNV of 217!
This “vaccine” experiment is only a few months old, yet the passive VAERS reporting system in the USA has accounted for deaths following Covid injections as already being greater than the previous 21 years of deaths from all other vaccines combined, as well as over 227,000 other non-fatal adverse events. What’s more, it is reported that the VAERS system records only approximately 1% of actual adverse events.
Many alarmed researchers and doctors around the world have called to halt this experiment, citing a growing body of unusual side effects and associated deaths. For Covid injections, it must be clear that the complete safety profile is unknown.
Furthermore, the “reduction” is not a decrease in deaths and hospitalizations, rather a reduction of symptoms. The majority of these supposedly alleviated symptoms being of a generic cold and flu variety.
On top of that, these mild “cases” which are being “prevented” are determined by the unvalidated PCR assays.
As mentioned, the efficacy is based on reduction in symptoms, and even then possibly only for a limited period of time. Already it has been announced that boosters are necessary, perhaps annually or twice a year.
This paltry efficacy is not unusual for the vaccine regime that is justified on the basis of benefitting [sic] the overall population. However, in this case, the argument for benefitting [sic] the overall population cannot apply, as no definite evidence for a reduction in transmission has been p[r]ovided.
A product with very questionable, miniscule efficacy and many concerns regarding potential severe short and long-term side effects (including deaths), might be more accurately classified as a poison. [more; exactly]

Antarctica Is Running Out of Ice and You Should Be Terrified
https://www.yahoo.com/news/antarctica-running-ice-terrified-085719227.html
For millions of years, Antarctica’s glaciers have flowed into the sea, calving icebergs at a slow and sustainable rate. In the past few decades, that rate has rapidly increased as temperatures in the region have shot up to alarming levels. During a heat wave in February 2020, they reached a record 69 degrees on Seymour Island, at the tip of Graham Land. The less isolated Arctic is a harbinger of how climate change might soon affect the southernmost continent. In 2007, the Northwest Passage, which Amundsen took three years to muscle through aboard the tiny Gjøa, became navigable for the first time. It is expected that the North Pole will be clear of summer sea ice by 2050. [more; more like 2030]

A beer and poop cocktail sounds gross, but to farmers it can be a godsend.
The use of chemicals to rid agricultural land of damaging pests is known to harm the environment and those who maintain it.
But a new study found that whisking byproducts from beer production and oil extraction from seeds, together with some fresh cow poop, creates an odd but effective pesticide, according to researchers from the Neiker Basque Institute for Agricultural Research and Development in Spain.
The cocktail increased lettuce crop yields by about 15% over one year, all while treating parasites that attack plant roots, promoting sustainable food systems and reducing harmful agricultural waste. [more; nah, let's keep using poison that kills life . ..]

ReplyDeleteSign Posted at a St. Louis Popeyes Denies White People of The Good Chicken Service
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/sign-posted-st-louis-popeyes-164529738.html
A Popeyes in St. Louis, Mo., is being investigated by the police after a sign was posted outside of its drive-thru lane that refused service to white people.
“Effective 6-1-21, this restaurant is under new management and will reserve the right to refuse service to white people. We apologize for any inconvenience. Signed, general manager, Mason,” KMOV, a local affiliate reported.
However, surveillance video shows that the sign was not posted by a Popeyes employee; police and management think it was done by pranksters and the situation got accelerated.
“‘The manager did not post this sign and the business is not ‘under new management’ as alleged per our investigation,” said Chief Chris DiGiuseppi of the Lake St. Louis Police Department, according to USA Today.
The Popeyes has also been a target of vandalism, and the authorities will be looking to see if there is a connection with the sign.[more]

A 20-Foot Sea Wall? Miami Faces the Hard Choices of Climate Change.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/20-foot-sea-wall-miami-120248771.html
Build a wall, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed in its first draft of the study, now under review. Six miles of it, in fact, mostly inland, running parallel to the coast through neighborhoods — except for a 1-mile stretch right on Biscayne Bay, past the gleaming sky-rises of Brickell, the city’s financial district. [nobody likes this idea]
The trouble is that the magnitude of the interconnected obstacles the region faces can feel overwhelming, and none of the possible solutions is cheap, easy or pretty. [more; yup]

Keep your distance from squirrels or they go nuts
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/keep-distance-squirrels-nuts-200207117.html
People have been urged to stay at least 164 feet (50 metres) — roughly the size of Nelson’s Column — away from squirrels in order to avoid disturbing them, a study has found.
The ubiquitous urban rodents are known to be prominent in parks and gardens and are often seen racing between people and scavenging in bins.
But a new study suggests that, for the benefit of the fluffy-tailed animals, people should avoid getting too close to them. [more]

Wildfires Are Getting Worse, So Why Is the U.S. Still Building Homes With Wood? [because we're fucking STUPID, what else?]
https://www.yahoo.com/news/wildfires-getting-worse-why-u-183226591.html
Now there are growing economic reasons to find alternatives. The cost of wood has skyrocketed as more people across the country remodel or build new homes following a pandemic-year construction collapse, causing a lumber shortage that adds more than $35,000 to the cost of a new single-family home.
“Wood is ubiquitous, but it’s time to evolve,” says Matt Watson, the president of Gateway Builders, a Northern California contracting company that has been building homes since 1997. Watson started building with non-wood materials last year and now, as he works with clients who lost homes in the 2020 fires, 19 out of 21 rebuilds are using non-wood materials. His workers have traded in hammers and nails for pneumatic tools that fasten together steel panels. Still, it may take awhile, he says—old habits die hard. “It’s the same as getting people off fossil fuels.” [more; yeah, won't happen on either front in time to be of any benefit to the environment]

Science chief wants next pandemic vaccine ready in 100 days
https://www.yahoo.com/news/science-chief-wants-next-pandemic-212006838.html
[beside the fact that Covid was NOT a pandemic, but a PLANNED ATTACK on the world by the globalists including Gates, Fauci, WHO, CDC, and John's Hopkins University (among others like UNC), they're working on the NEXT one based on what THIS (Covid) experiment yields]
The new White House science adviser wants to have a vaccine ready to fight the next pandemic in just about 100 days after recognizing a potential viral outbreak.
In his first interview after being sworn in Wednesday, Eric Lander painted a rosy near future where a renewed American emphasis on science not only better prepares the world for the next pandemic with plug-and-play vaccines, but also changes how medicine fights disease and treats patients, curbs climate change and further explores space. He even threw in a “Star Trek” reference. [more; which is how you can tell it's BULLSHIT!]
