Event Update For 2017-10-18





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.

2017-10-18 - Giant methane craters appear for third consecutive year in Siberia (Russia):
http://www.pravdareport.com/news/science/earth/18-10-2017/138965-siberia_craters-0/
http://www.pravda.ru/news/interesting_news/17-10-2017/1351067-yamal-0/#

Quote: "According to Russian geologists, the giant sinkholes were formed as a result of emissions of methane from the melting permafrost."

Quote: "Giant sinkholes in the ground formed as a result of emission of gas in the Yamal-Nenetsk autonomous region have grown in size in three years."

Note: I said when these first appeared in 2014 that this is the kind of event where if you see it happen once, it's highly likely it's going to happen again and again, and it is. It had actually already started before 2014, on the sea floor in the Arctic, with hundreds or even thousands of kilometer-wide methane seeps, but it took a little while before the problem spread to land. Now the only question is where ELSE the ground will begin exploding on land. I'd bet on Canada and/or Alaska, since both are already experiencing rapidly escalating permafrost melt...

2017-10-18 - Permafrost continues thawing in the northern regions of North America, and it's going to get much worse:

2017-10-18 - Wildfires in Portugal have killed 41 people and injured 71 people:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_update&edis_id=WF-20171016-60222-PRT

Quote: "At least 41 people have died in Portugal, where firefighters are slowly gaining control over 15 major wildfires. The fires, which have ripped through the centre and north of the country, have been brought under control with the help of overnight rain and lighter winds. Portugal has begun three days of mourning for the victims as 71 people recover from injuries, 16 of them in a serious condition. There is one person still missing, officials have said. Jose Carlos Alexandrino, mayor of Oliveira do Hospital near Coimbra, told broadcaster RTP: 'Most of the victims were killed in their cars, but we also found them inside their houses. The whole city looked like a ball of fire, surrounded by flames on all sides.'"

    They claim it's a toy. Here on this page they show a pic of a Facebook page showing the same images from the video, saying that they're selling a toy:

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4714321/cat-creature-human-face-rumours-police-deny/

    But I searched for 'platinum silicon baby werewolf', just like is supposedly in the 'ad', and nothing even remotely like that shows up. It looks like they faked the ad, using the actual pictures of the creature, to cover up that this thing is the real deal. If it is, it's obviously a genetic chimera, human-cat or something like that.

    Just think if a colony of those gets established. Possibly human intelligence, but on a panther's body, with the sharp claws and speed, and fangs to tear flesh too.

  3. We've been above average in temperature for most of October here in PA. Next Wednesday it's supposed to drop and rain is expected. Until then, 70 degree weather this time of year is enjoyable.

    The Whiskeyhickon Boys (3 piece band: drummer, bass and mandolin/harmonica/kazoo) and Uncle Jake and the 18 Wheel Gang (6 piece band: 2 banjos, stand-up bass, rhythm guitar/percussion, ukulele/mandolin, and WASHBOARD) played at Sprout last night. It's near impossible to be depressed with this kind of music playing live - everybody drinking, dancing and laughing.

    Bad day to own a boat, or a small plane (or a car, SUV, pick-up truck, van or tractor trailer . .).

    Perhaps when EPA administrator Scott Pruitt is in Houston this week to speak at an oil and gas industry forum, he also will address the trail of disasters left behind by the inaction of his agency during and after Hurricane Harvey.
    Perhaps he will take a few deep breaths near the Arkema chemical plant in Crosby, where 20 emergency responders became ill breathing smoke-filled air after floodwaters cut power and wiped out the backup generators at the facility.

    Perhaps he will sit down for dinner with a family in Manchester and tell the children why EPA took so long to test the noxious odors that wafted from the Valero refinery after Harvey damaged the roof atop one of its storage tanks - a toxic plume that my organization independently found to contain benzene.

    Perhaps he will extend to other at-risk parts of Houston's ecosystem the promise he has made to fix one of Houston's most dangerous Superfund sites, the San Jacinto Waste Pits, and explain why EPA took the word of the company responsible for it that there was no danger from the storm. Weeks later his agency acknowledged finding the release of cancer-causing dioxins into the river there at levels 2,000 times EPA's safety limits. [more]

    1. I'm beginning to think that the economy will never tank. By all reasonable accounts it should've tanked a few years ago. Or I should say that the stock market may never crash again. Half the goddamn population could die tomorrow due to the Yellowstone caldera erupting and the effing market will probably surge past 25,000. It's the damndest thing. You can stab it with your steely knives but you cannot kill this beast.

      No one, and I mean no one has been able to accurately predict this market since 2009. That goes for the American dollar as well. I think it will just hum right along as the world's reserve currency until there is no world left. No one has been able to predict the dollar accurately either. No one.
