"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 2021-08-19
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.

It was the heaviest rainfall on the ice sheet since record keeping began in 1950, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, and the amount of ice mass lost on Sunday was seven times higher than the daily average for this time of year."

Spectacular Saturday Jonny, everyone reading JJFH.
ReplyDeleteThis is completely unheard of! For 4 days in a row, garbage trucks have burned on the same day as a JJFH event occurred in Hull, UK.
We've had a lot of rain around here (nothing like the flooding elsewhere in the world), and we may get more as a new hurricane comes up the coast toward Long Island. It's rained every day here, at least sometime (mostly at night), for the past week.

French Fire prompts evacuations near Lake Isabella, California
https://wildfiretoday.com/2021/08/20/french-fire-prompts-evacuations-near-lake-isabella-california/
The French Fire in Kern County, California started Wednesday, August 18, around 4:30 p.m. on the west side of Lake Isabella. On Thursday firefighters were faced with shifting winds driving the fire in several directions, but in the afternoon wind from the southwest and later the south pushed the fire northwest and north.
Friday morning 5 to 10 mph east and northeast winds gusting at 12 to 18 drove the blaze to the west and northwest, but after 3 p.m. 8 to 12 mph winds gusting out of the south at 15 to 18 mph pushed the fire vigorously to the north.
Friday morning the fire was mapped at 4,272 acres, but the push to the north in the afternoon likely added significantly to that number. [more]

https://www.rt.com/news/532690-australia-lockdown-protest-clashes-arrests/
Heated protests erupted in Sydney and Melbourne as massive crowds took to the streets to decry ongoing lockdown measures, seeing clashes with Australian police, who responded with pepper spray, roadblocks and a string of arrests.
The demonstrations broke out on Saturday afternoon in the two major cities, with groups estimated in the hundreds protesting coronavirus lockdowns and curfew orders, chanting slogans and hoisting signs against the country’s Covid regime.

Intel failure or deliberate ‘bloody nose’ for Biden? Ex-CIA analyst tells RT what went wrong in Afghanistan
https://www.rt.com/news/532660-mcgovern-afghanistan-intel-failure-deliberate/
US military intelligence so severely underestimated the capabilities of Afghanistan’s Taliban that it’s hard to believe it was a mistake at all, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern told RT, likening the snafu to the Vietnam War.
The catastrophe was a “liminal event” for President Joe Biden, McGovern said, arguing it was as important as 9/11 and expressing concern that the commander-in-chief would get the blame for the 20 years of military failures in the country under the three previous presidents that truly created last weekend’s collapse.

Majority says Biden is out of it, aides are doing his job

Preelection concerns that President Joe Biden wasn’t physically or mentally up for his new job at age 78, the oldest-ever chief executive, are now settling in as the public sees him slow-walking, refusing to consider questions at press conferences, and seemingly befuddled with the crisis in Afghanistan.
Not only has his average approval rating fallen below 50%, the lowest of his presidency, but a new survey has found that in addition to likely voters believing that Biden is not all there, they believe that aides are doing his job. [more; Joe must go]
No country has ‘clear picture’ what flights its citizens are actually on, Dutch FM says, amid chaotic evacuation from Kabul
https://www.rt.com/news/532669-kabul-evacuation-chaos-netherlands/
The persisting “chaos” at Kabul airport has made it hard to tell which evacuation flights carry nationals of what country, the Netherlands’ foreign minister has said, adding that over 700 Dutch citizens are still in Afghanistan.
The Netherlands is closely cooperating with German and British authorities to streamline the rocky evacuation from Afghanistan, Foreign Minister Sigrid Kaag told reporters on Friday.
Despite the effort, many aspects of the evacuation remain very uncertain, including getting the would-be evacuees to the airport in the first place, Kaag said, chiefly due to the Taliban checkpoints surrounding the facility. The process of getting people onto cargo planes to leave the country is riddled with issues as well, she revealed. [more]

Astronomers discover new alien megastructure in the Milky Way and no one knows what it is!
ReplyDeletehttps://strangesounds.org/2021/08/astronomers-discover-alien-megastructure-in-milky-way-video.html
A team of astronomers has found a big surprise! By examining stars in a nearby spiral arm of the Milky Way, they’ve discovered a new giant structure that sticks out from it like an unruly cowlick, and amazingly one that contains some of the most celebrated and best-studied nebulae in the galaxy. It was hidden in plain sight all along, like finding a secret treasure-filled chamber in a house you’ve lived in all your life.
The newly discovered contingent of young stars and star-forming gas clouds is sticking out of one of the Milky Way’s spiral arms like a splinter poking out from a plank of wood. Stretching some 3,000 light-years, this is the first major structure identified with an orientation so dramatically different than the arm’s.

Human remains found in Casco home identified as homeowner's missing daughter
https://news.yahoo.com/human-remains-found-casco-home-000800113.html
The human remains found in a Casco home this spring after the homeowner died have been identified as his missing daughter.
Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety, confirmed Friday morning that the remains were those of 53-year-old Denise Ramsey.
Moss said Ramsey's cause of death remains unclear and that her death remains under investigation.
Ramsey's remains were discovered in a shed in May while a relative was cleaning out the Poland Springs Road home, where 82-year-old Douglas Scott Sr. was living before his death in March. Ramsey's daughter, Danielle McNaughton, told CBS affiliate WGME that her grandfather, who suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, died from complications related to COVID-19. [more]

ReplyDeleteBarmaid died after being strangled by pyjamas caught in oven door
https://news.yahoo.com/barmaid-died-strangled-pyjamas-oven-115321430.html
Jackie Michelle Cottrill was found dead on 24 January by her nephew Josh Brocklebank, who had been staying with her.
Brocklebank came downstairs to find his aunt had been strangled after her clothing was caught in the oven.
At an inquest at Preston Coroner’s Court, Dr James Adeley said he had “never come across such an unusual case” in his 20 years as a coroner.
A full post-mortem examination revealed no signs of disease or natural death, and the cause of death was the compression of Cottrill’s neck caused by her pyjama top becoming accidentally entangled in the oven door.
Following discussion with Cottrill’s family, the coroner recorded the cause of death as asphyxiation as he wanted to make it clear it was purely an accident.
“It is very unusual that someone who was fit and well managed to suspend themselves accidentally from the oven door,” Dr Adeley said.
“What appears to have happened is that for some reason she has fallen and caught her pyjama top on the lower handle of the oven door. [more; Nipsy? "R I I I G H T"]

More than 37.2 million people in the United States have tested positive for the coronavirus as of Friday morning [using WHAT TEST?], Aug. 20, according to [totally corrupt] Johns Hopkins University. That includes more than 625,000 people who have died nationwide. [yeah, with padded numbers, fake recalled tests, financial incentives for hospitals and doctors to say COVID on death certs, etc.]
More than 169.5 million Americans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of Aug. 18 — about 51% of the total population, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracker shows. About 62% of adults and 60% of people aged 12 and older are fully vaccinated in the U.S. [they keep using the word "vaccinated" when it's NOTHING OF THE KIND - it DOESN'T PREVENT or KEEP YOU FROM GETTING COVID AFTER THE JAB!]

https://news.yahoo.com/companies-adopting-covid-vaccine-mandates-103024528.html
Only two of the three makers of COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the U.S. require their own employees to get the shot or be tested weekly.
Moderna is the outlier. The Cambridge, Massachusetts, company, which supplies 41% of the nation's vaccine, has no vaccination mandate.
"We have safety and testing protocols in place, but no such requirement at this time," Moderna spokesperson Ray Jordan said in an email.
"The basic, underlying reason is fear," he said of companies that have told him they have concerns about imposing a mandate. "They're afraid of losing employees they can't replace at a time like this."

President Joe Biden said on Wednesday his administration will require employees at nursing homes to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of the facilities participating in the Medicare and Medicaid government healthcare programs.
Biden made the announcement hours after the release of a study showing that the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines for residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities, where residents are often elderly and frail, has dropped since the Delta variant became dominant in the United States.

No illnesses linked to the issue have been reported to date but the recall was issued out of an abundance of caution.
Affected products are limited to the Hostess Soft White Hamburger Buns and the Soft White Hot Dog Buns which were sold to distributors, convenience stores, and other retail stores throughout the United States.
