"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 2021-08-18
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.

Fantastic Friday Jonny, all readers of JJFH.
ReplyDeleteHow about that? This is the first time in 3 years that garbage truck fires AND JJFH incidents in Hull, UK have happened coincidentally for 3 consecutive days (as far as we know; there was a long stretch with NO data coming out of Hull last year).

Rain fell at the normally snowy summit of Greenland for the first time on record
https://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2021/08/19/rain-fell-at-the-normally-snowy-summit-of-greenland-for-the-first-time-on-record/
For the first time on record, precipitation on Saturday at the summit of Greenland — roughly two miles above sea level — fell as rain and not snow.
Temperatures at the Greenland summit over the weekend rose above freezing for the third time in less than a decade. The warm air fueled an extreme rain event that dumped 7 billion tons of water on the ice sheet, enough to fill the Reflecting Pool at the National Mall in Washington, DC, nearly 250,000 times. [more]

Thousands evacuated as Northern California blaze triples in size in 24 hours, destroys dozens of homes
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/457117-Thousands-evacuated-as-Northern-California-blaze-triples-in-size-in-24-hours-destroys-dozens-of-homes
Thousands are evacuating from Northern California as the Caldor Fire has charred nearly 50,000 acres and destroyed dozens of homes, and officials are warning of conditions creating a "perfect combination" for it to spread further.
"The Caldor Fire continued to experience unprecedented fire behavior and growth due to extremely dry fuels pushed by the south west winds," the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said of the El Dorado County blaze.
[from tweet]
Overnight, the Caldor Fire burned thousands of acres in El Dorado County. The post office, several surrounding buildings, the fire department, and the elementary school are just some of the structures that are confirmed to have burned down. [more]

Horror as Kabul falls to a regime more liberal than Australia's
https://www.sott.net/article/457115-Horror-as-Kabul-falls-to-a-regime-more-liberal-than-Australia-s
Horror! Afghanistan has been overrun by a regime so barbarous and cruel that under its rule people are allowed to step outside without a passport, may even enter government offices, museums, and stores without said passport, and where — gasp (!) — men may walk outside without face coverings!
The Free West:
Weddings can't be held across NSW.
Funerals can be held. Attending a funeral is a reasonable excuse to leave home and to enter a lockdown area.
You can only leave your home to attend a funeral, memorial service or gathering afterwards if you're a spouse (including a de facto), parent, child or sibling of the deceased.
Up to 10 people can attend an indoor or outdoor funeral or memorial service or gathering afterwards — but they must wear a mask indoors. The people conducting the service are not included in this cap.
A place of worship can't open to members of the public except to hold a funeral service or memorial service that complies with the rules for funerals and memorial services — see above. [more]
Prince Andrew a 'person of interest' for prosecutors in Epstein investigation, report says
https://www.sott.net/article/457103-Prince-Andrew-a-person-of-interest-for-prosecutors-in-Epstein-investigation-report-says
Prince Andrew is a "person of interest" for prosecutors in the Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein investigation, a report says.
Officials in the United States want to interview the Queen's son about his friendship with the late sex offender as they investigate potential co-conspirators, according to Reuters.
While Andrew may be a person of interest for investigators, the office of the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York does not anticipate being able to interview him anytime soon.
"He doesn't seem to want to talk to us," the source told Reuters. [more]

Culture shock: how loss of animals’ shared knowledge threatens their survival
ReplyDeletehttps://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2021/08/13/culture-shock-how-loss-of-animals-shared-knowledge-threatens-their-survival/
in the late 1800s, North Atlantic right whales were slaughtered in their thousands. With each carcass hauled on to the deck, whalers were taking more than just bones and flesh out of the ocean. The slaughtered whales had unique memories of feeding grounds, hunting techniques and communication styles; knowledge acquired over centuries, passed down through the generations, and shared between peers. The critically endangered whale clings on, but much of the species’ cultural knowledge is now extinct.
Animal culture is not limited to the ocean. Birds, bees, naked mole-rats, fish and even fruit flies are among those that have been found to learn socially and create cultures. As the list grows, researchers are starting to understand animal culture as critical to many conservation efforts. [more]
What Is America Going To Look Like If This Continues?
https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/what-is-america-going-to-look-like-if-this-continues/
[hint: worse than we imagine]
If you spend any time in public at all, you know exactly what I am talking about. Most Americans dress like slobs, act like pigs and endlessly spew profanity wherever they go.
Sadly, it has gotten to a point where even our national leaders are not afraid to use profanity.
Earlier this week, it was being reported that Kamala Harris used profanity while engaged in a heated discussion about the crisis in Afghanistan [allegedly saying “you will not pin this shit on me” despite her massive role in Biden’s US troop withdrawal decision.]
Critics say that the Taliban does not allow freedom of speech, but when Taliban officials were asked about this they simply pointed out that Facebook is even worse when it comes to freedom of speech.
We have become a brutal, violent, blood-soaked country, and that is because we have a brutal, violent, blood-soaked culture.[more]
An Open Letter From A Good Friend In America! What do goats, tap water and PCR tests have in common? | Catholics, take note | Biden's China
https://www.thebigwobble.org/p/an-open-letter-from-good-friend-in.html
PCR tests are an absolute joke (what do goats, tap water and PCR tests have in common? Go to the 10:30 minute mark in first video link to find out). Do not submit to a PCR test, or force others under your supervision to do so. Due to the very high sensitivity of the PCR test it readily generates false positives, which become statistical "cases" and thus more food for fear is spun in the media.
Adding a second layer to the global bizarre-ness, why the widespread social media censorship, wiping away any opposing viewpoint and information of sound, proven protocol information about hydroxychloroquine and Ivermection, Vitamin D, Zinc etc. - another very telling sign not based in any imaginable way as being reasonable, but yet it is done routinely. It appears as an act of desperation on the part of globalists to demonize effective protocols, so as to sell the (never mentioned gene therapy injection) so-called vaccine. With eyes wide open and mind engaged to ponder the mystery, it would appear most likely an effort to achieve a silent, but absolutely massive agenda of stealth depopulation.
