"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 2021-08-10
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.

2021-08-10 - Megafire grows to 487,764 acres, fire generates massive pyrocumulonimbus cloud and firenadoes, near Antelope Lake (California):

http://www.theblaze.com/news/hundreds-of-buildings-destroyed-amid-the-biggest-single-wildfire-ever-recorded-in-california
Quote: "Nearly a month after igniting, the monstrous Dixie fire burning in Northern California has destroyed nearly 900 structures and continues to exhibit extreme behavior, officials said. The fire, which has seared 487,764 acres across four counties north of Sacramento, is continuing to generate its own weather."
Quote: "Around midnight Monday, an explosive storm cloud rose roughly 40,000 feet above the eastern portion of the blaze. The pyrocumulonimbus cloud was so intense that it sparked lighting, as well as fiery spinning vortexes known as fire whirls, said Rich Thompson, a National Weather Service incident meteorologist for the Dixie fire. One large whirl captured by an infrared camera shows a thin tendril snaking high above the rest of the flames. Thompson estimates that it soared 300 to 400 feet above an area west of Antelope Lake, where evacuations were ordered this week."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/08/11/siberia-fires-russia-climate/
Quote: "Wildfire smoke from Russia has reached the North Pole for what appears to be the first time in recorded history, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. A NASA satellite captured the image of smoke from hundreds of forest fires covering most of Russia this past weekend, according to a statement from the agency."
Quote: "For Russia, there are two types of fires raging across Siberia: the kind the authorities are fighting and the others they are allowing to burn. That’s because Siberia is so vast that huge fires can burn without threatening any major settlements, transportation systems or infrastructure — but are still part of a swath of infernos that together are larger than all the other blazes around the world."

I Feel Like I Am Living In Crazytown
https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/i-feel-like-i-am-living-in-crazytown/
We haven’t had an extended bout of painful inflation like this since the days of the Carter administration, and our leaders in Washington have decided that the best way forward is to rapidly create even more inflation. They keep using words like “transitory” to describe the current inflation crisis, but then they turn right around and talk about the need to create, borrow and spend even more money. It is utter madness, but at this point there is nobody that is going to stop them. We are all passengers on a “highway to Weimar”, and those that have their hands on the wheel have gone completely nuts.
On Wednesday, we learned that on a year-over-year basis inflation continues to rise at the fastest pace that we have seen since the last financial crisis
But since the way that the rate of inflation is calculated has literally been changed dozens of times over the decades, the only way to get an apples for apples comparison is to calculate what the rate of inflation would be if it was still calculated the same way it was at some previous moment in our history.
John Williams of shadowstats.com has done just that. According to Williams, if inflation was still calculated the same way it was back in 1990, we would be at about 9 percent at this moment.
And if inflation was still calculated the same way it was back in 1980, we would be way into double digits right now.
Needless to say, this is having a substantial impact on our standard of living.
At this point, even a top Democrat is warning that there will be “grave consequences” [more]
Study Finds Most Highly Educated Americans Are Also the Most Vaccine Hesitant
https://summit.news/2021/08/11/study-finds-most-highly-educated-americans-are-also-the-most-vaccine-hesitant/

Cannabidiol Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Replication and Promotes the Host Innate Immune Response
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7987002/
[lightin' up as i post]
The rapid spread of COVID-19 underscores the need for new treatments. Here we report that cannabidiol (CBD), a compound produced by the cannabis plant, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection. CBD and its metabolite, 7-OH-CBD, but not congeneric cannabinoids, potently block SARS-CoV-2 replication in lung epithelial cells. CBD acts after cellular infection, inhibiting viral gene expression and reversing many effects of SARS-CoV-2 on host gene transcription. CBD induces interferon expression and up-regulates its antiviral signaling pathway. A cohort of human patients previously taking CBD had significantly lower SARSCoV-2 infection incidence of up to an order of magnitude relative to matched pairs or the general population. This study highlights CBD, and its active metabolite, 7-OH-CBD, as potential preventative agents and therapeutic treatments for SARS-CoV-2 at early stages of infection.
Summary sentence:
Cannabidiol from the cannabis plant has potential to prevent and inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection [more]

More Dangerous Side Effects Potentially Linked To mRNA Vaccines, EU Warns
ReplyDeletehttps://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/new-side-effects-potentially-linked-mrna-vaccines-eu-warns
As shares of MRNA-vaccine purveyors Moderna and BioNTech tumbled on Wednesday, Reuters reported that the EMA, the EU's medicines regulator, is looking into new potential side effects from the still-experimental MRNA jabs, including suspicious skin reactions and kidney ailments.
This isn't the first time regulators have raised issues with an MRNA vaccine. As we reported a few months ago, the FDA determined that one side effect of the jabs in a small number of male patients with certain complications included heart inflammation. Still, the [corrupt] FDA, [private corporation] CDC and [globalist run] WHO have insisted [LIED to benefit financially] that the risks posed by the jabs are far outweighed by their benefits to society.

An Australian family is mourning the loss of a five-month-old girl who died after her mother tried to protect her from a swooping magpie.

'Do come Again' says Taliban to withdrawing US troops
https://www.sott.net/article/456745-Do-come-Again-says-Taliban-to-withdrawing-US-troops
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan more commonly known as the Taliban has today thanked the US military for stopping by for the last 20 years, calling on them to return sometime in the future if they ever feel the need.
"Oh, tell Russia we were asking for them too," said a spokesban, referring to a similar withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989 following a 9-year war between the two states, "I hope you guys enjoyed your stay here and thanks for spending $822bn of your citizens money on trying to kill us, we really appreciate all the weapon presents you left behind and military vehicles".
The withdrawal comes after President Biden insisted on pulling out all US troops out of Afghanistan by 11 September this year to mark the country's biggest mistake and waste of time since Vietnam.
"Boy, you superpowers sure know how to funnel trillions of dollars of taxpayers money into military hardware for little or no reasonable return," the spokesban added, who seemed impressed by America's blatant imperialism, "and you call us out for treating our citizens wrong by mismanaging government funds while keeping them living in constant fear? You sick fucks are the masters at this and we thank you for teaching us everything you know. Please do come again, we've learned a lot".
Meanwhile, the family and friends of over 71,000 innocent Afghan civilians are said to be a little bit disappointed that the US are now leaving the region.
"We were due a wedding in October and hoping for a drone strike to wipe out our entire family as living with the Taliban is worse than death, so that's all fucked now and we have to push it forward now in the hopes of a stray airsrike. Thanks for nothing, America," one Afghanistan father concluded.
