Event Update For 2018-05-15





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.

2018-05-15 - Volcano Kilauea in Hawaii continues erupting, more lava oozing out, threat level goes to red:

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/lava-from-hawaii-volcano-nears-an-evacuation-route-warning-issued-on-gas-exposure/ar-AAxhvBN

Quote: "Hawaii residents are facing the highest volcanic activity alert after officials warned Tuesday that the Big Island's Kilauea volcano is growing more explosive -- as a massive ash cloud grows in the sky. The U.S. Geological Survery upgraded its previous volcano warning from 'orange' to 'red,'" signifying that an 'eruption is forecasted to be imminent with significant emission of ash into the atmosphere likely,' or that an eruption is already underway. 'At any time, activity may become more explosive, increasing the intensity of ash production and producing ballistic projectiles near the vent,' local officials told Fox News amid the alert, which was issued just before 1:30 p.m. local time."

Quote: "Lava from one of the world’s most active volcanoes snaked closer to the Big Island’s Highway 137 — coming within a mile and a half Monday night to choking off one of the last remaining evacuation routes for residents in lower Puna, officials said. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey said that red-and-orange lava continues to flow from fissure 17, but has slowed to about two-tenths of a mile in the past six hours. The situation is considered extremely dangerous."

Quote: "Chesapeake Police and Fire Department units were called to the hotel in the 1500 block of Crossways Boulevard around 8 p.m. in reference to a naked man who had locked himself inside a room with the water running and the fire alarm activated. Fire crews entered the hotel room because of the fire alarm and found the man inside the bathroom waving a butcher knife and speaking incoherently. The fire crews then left the room and police officers began attempting to speak to the man. After several hours of unsuccessful attempts, a SWAT team was called in. The SWAT team used a camera to look inside the hotel room, where they were able to see that the man was incapacitated. Just before midnight, authorities made entry into the room and pronounced the man deceased."

    Putin: Russian Warships With Kalibr Rockets to Be on Guard in Mediterranean 24/7
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/05/russian-warships-with-kalibr-rockets-to.html

    According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the country's military vessels will be on permanent standby in the Mediterranean Sea due to a terrorist threat in Syria.
    "Due to the remaining threat of incursions by international terrorists in Syria, our ships carrying Kalibr cruise missiles will be constantly deployed in the Mediterranean Sea," Putin said at a military meeting.

    Speaking further, the Russian president said that the practice of distant sea campaigns and drills should continue.

    "Some 102 sea campaigns by Russia's ships and submarines are to take place," Putin added.

    In the first three months of 2018, the Russian Navy received a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine, three ships, two helicopters and 46 Kalibr cruise missiles. [more; and they WORK]

    “Our ships carrying Kalbr cruise missiles will be permanently deployed in the Mediterranean Sea,” he reported. They will take up position opposite the shores of Syria, Lebanon and Israel. DEBKAfile’s military sources take this step to mean that the Russian army command believes the military confrontation between Israel and Iran in Syria is not over and more clashes are still to come.

    It was also revealed by military sources in Moscow that the Assad regime’s 4th Armored Division had received from Russia heavy rocket launchers deliberately dubbed Golan-1000, of 500mm caliber, which can deliver three rockets loaded with 500kg of high-explosive fragmentation ammunition. They have a range of up to 6km and are powerful enough to knock over IDF fortifications on the Golan. [more]

    There's No Such Thing As Free Trade Or Free Money
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/05/you-can-count-on-imploder-in-chief.html

    For the record, Trump is right - free-traders are proven idiots. There are no other countries in the world that practice free trade. Many claim that the U.S. should have stayed on the gold standard which would have made colossal (trade/fiscal) deficits impossible. Perhaps so, ~50 years late. More importantly, what allowed the U.S. to adopt a gold-backed currency in the first place was its massive hoard of gold. Acquired how? Trade surpluses...

    Nevertheless, attempting to pick the raisins out of the Globalized oatmeal is not going to work:

  7. Hah, yeah, kinda. But on the other hand, most flights are still reaching their destination without burning, exploding, crashing, being hit with odors that sicken people or having naked guys run amok, so your odds are still good. They're just not AS good as they used to be. Still good though! (This is what I'd be telling myself if I was gonna fly, so I'm trying it out on you. Heh.)
