Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas

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.

2013-12-12 - Woman, 52, goes out on porch for a cig and burns to death at home in The Woodlands (Texas):

http://www.click2houston.com/news/woman-found-dead-on-burning-front-porch/-/1735978/23465892/-/107e7b5z/-/index.html

Quote:"A 52-year-old mother of two burned to death on the front porch of her home in The Woodlands while her children watched in horror."

Quote:"Montgomery County investigators said the fire erupted on the front porch, where the woman was sitting alone on a metal chair. She somehow could not escape the flames."

Note: Those kids are gonna have PTSD. This event is eerily similar to an event where a woman burned to death on her porch swing in West Frankfort (Illinois), as mentioned in the 2012-02-07 update. She may also have gone outside to smoke a cig. That event made me realize that people burning to death was going to be a very serious problem. A little hydrogen sulfide blows by, possibly mixed with methane, knocks people unconscious and ignites a fire. Another similar event was a man found with his head on fire, sitting in a chair and rocking, lit cigarette in his hand, in an apartment in Las Vegas (Nevada), as mentioned in the 2012-11-24 update. Here's a quote from that story:

Quote:"Drake opened the door to see his friend, Eric Olsen, 55, on fire, his hand clutching a burning cigarette. 'His hair was on fire,' Drake said about two hours after the blaze was extinguished. 'I couldn't get his fire extinguisher to work, so I had to get mine. I saw him on fire. His TV was on. He wasn't yelling. He wasn't doing nothing. He was rocking a little bit in his chair, holding a cigarette.'"

Note: He was apparently still alive as he sat there, rocking and burning to death, but he was probably unconscious or having a neurological seizure due to brain damage caused by hydrogen sulfide's neurotoxic properties. Many other people have burned to death in unusual circumstances besides the ones I have mentioned; these are just a few of the more notable examples that have stuck in my mind as I have observed this extinction event accelerating. Burning to death in vehicles is another escalating and very serious danger now as well...

2013-12-12 - Hundreds of birds drop dead from the sky along Aden Road in Nokesville (Virginia), near the coast:
http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/12/blackbirds-found-dead-along-nokesville-road-98054.html
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dozens-of-blackbirds-found-dead-along-va-road/2013/12/13/eda6951e-63f6-11e3-af0d-4bb80d704888_story.html

Quote:"Police, animal control and crews from the Virginia Department of Transportation were called to the area, where witnesses said they were shoveling dead birds off the road."

Note: They probably got a whiff of hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean then lost consciousness and fell to their deaths or died from the gas and then fell. The Inner Harbor recently suddenly turned milky green-white in coastal Baltimore (Maryland), fish suffocated and there was a sulfur smell reported, as mentioned in the 2013-07-18 update. That was the chemocline rising abruptly to the surface, smothering the fish and releasing hydrogen sulfide that had accumulated at the bottom of the harbor into the atmosphere. A 'rotten egg' smell plagued coastal Quincy (Massachusetts) not long ago too, as mentioned in the 2013-05-09 update. Carrier pigeons have been disappearing since 2012 over the ocean between Britain and Scotland too. They've called that the 'Birdmuda Triangle', as mentioned in the 2012-08-29 update. Birds are particularly susceptible to gases - thus the 'canary in the coal mine' thing - because of their small size and rapid respiration rate, but there are plenty of people being poisoned to death too...

Quote:"Many who were at the scene of the bizarre discovery screamed in shock and ran off..."

Note: We're gonna be seeing a whole lot of this as time goes on, to go along with many people burning to death or simply dropping dead. This is why the US government has procured millions of 'coffin liners'. Your corpse is gonna have to go somewhere, and those 'coffin liners' are airtight, so any residual gas in your lungs or clothing won't kill the people moving your corpse to a mass grave or wherever you end up...

Quote:"There was no obvious sign of trauma to the body, investigators said. About an hour after police responded, they discovered a man who was acting suspicious a few blocks away. 'Monterey Park (police) also received a call of a person acting suspiciously. They responded to that call and found a male Hispanic adult yelling at cars and acting irrationally,' said Lt. Dave Coleman of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. It was determined that the man lived in the apartment where the body was found, and he was the boyfriend or husband of the woman..."

Note: Sounds quite possible that hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean knocked her dead and damaged this man's brain, turned him into a neuro-zombie. Being a man, he's probably bigger than the woman, so the gas didn't kill him immediately, but he may have sustained serious damage and will probably die before long...

2013-12-14 - Huge blaze engulfs building under construction in the wee hours in Glendale (Colorado):

http://www.kktv.com/home/headlines/Flames-From-3-Alarm-Fire-Seen-For-Miles-235946771.html

http://twitter.com/ScottFordTVGuy/status/412114745706024961/photo/1

Quote:"Flames from Saturday's massive structure fire in Glendale were so powerful they skipped over a roadway, burned two separate apartment complexes and melted the front ends of nearly 20 parked vehicles. Investigators spent the early morning hours of Sunday trying to figure out what caused a massive building, still under construction, to burst in to flames."

Note: And the day prior, two apartment buildings under construction were destroyed by a mammoth fire at 2 AM in Williston (North Dakota), as mentioned in the 2013-12-13 update. And 3 days before that, a home under construction went up in flames at 3:20 AM on Lakeside Drive in coastal Surfside Beach (South Carolina), as mentioned in the 2013-12-10 update. Buildings under construction are inherently more vulnerable to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem than completed and well-insulated buildings, so it's a race against time now, to complete construction before buildings burn up.

The Federation Tower caught fire while it was under construction too, last year, in Moscow (Russia), as mentioned in the 2012-04-02 update. The new World Trade Center building in coastal New York City (New York) caught fire at the under construction area at the top, as mentioned in the 2012-06-02 update. A subbasement fire also hit the World Trade Center site during construction, as mentioned in the 2012-12-26 update. All of this has been going on for quite a while now, as have the other problems, like animals and people dropping dead, 'electrical' fires, parked vehicles spontaneously igniting, homes and businesses exploding and burning, etc. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground...

2013-12-15 - Car bursts into flame at Marquesa Plaza in coastal Naples (Florida), hydrogen sulfide detected in nearby building:

http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/dec/16/shopping-plaza-buildings-evacuated-after-report-ga/

Quote:"'It actually wasn’t a gas leak,' fire department spokesman Jerry Sanford said later. 'It was just an accumulation of some kind of smell. TECO came in and took reading and agree it was a sewer gas build up.' As one of the fire engines was leaving the scene Monday, firefighters stopped to help the driver of a car that had overheated in the same plaza. Smoke could be seen billowing from under the car’s hood as the firetruck’s lights flashed."

Note: Sewer gas is one of the more common names for hydrogen sulfide. Naples is on Florida's Gulf Coast, directly downwind of the Gulf of Mexico, and the first area that will get hit by hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the Gulf of Mexico. And exactly as I have mentioned, people ARE confusing the smell of mercaptan (added to natural gas so it has any smell at all) with the smell of hydrogen sulfide.

So, coastal area on the Gulf Coast, car starts burning, hydrogen sulfide detected nearby. This explains all the dead people being mysteriously found in canals and swimming pools and the like in Florida too, as well as the many dead animals: hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and it will settle into the same places that water does. It's also water-soluble, so once it's in the water, you might get poisoned that way too.

It's also no coincidence that this guy's car started burning while hydrogen sulfide was nearby, seeing as hydrogen sulfide is extremely flammable, and it is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper (like battery cables and other vehicle wiring), and it's reactive with rusty iron/steel too, common to all vehicles that haven't just rolled off the assembly line...

2013-12-16 - Electrical explosion fills home with smoke in Albert Lea (Minnesota):

http://www.albertleatribune.com/2013/12/firefighters-go-to-electrical-explosion/

Quote:"Albert Lea firefighters responded to a reported electrical explosion at 1009 St. John Ave. at 5:41 p.m. Monday. The house was reportedly filling up with smoke when authorities were called."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. That's the reason for many of the parked non-running vehicles spontaneously igniting, although hydrogen sulfide is also reactive with rusty iron/steel, so that's probably the cause of some of those fires too. Since our electrical infrastructure is entirely based on electrified copper, that means our electrical infrastructure is going to burn, and that's what is happening. That's why the gubment has been training for a mass-grid-failure scenario. Solar flares or EMPs aren't necessary to bring down the grid; an atmospheric problem will be plenty sufficient...

2013-12-16 - Inmate, 53, has seizure then dies at jail in coastal Charleston (South Carolina):
http://www.live5news.com/story/24240674/deputies-inmate-found-dead-hours-after-experiencing-seizure

Quote:"According to release, the inmate had a seizure while being processed in the booking area earlier in the day."

Note: This man probably got poisoned by hydrogen sulfide before he arrived at the jail. Hydrogen sulfide is neurotoxic and will damage peoples' brains, sometimes causing seizures. It also sometimes has a delayed-reaction effect of minutes, hours or even days, before respiratory paralysis kicks in, you lose the ability to breathe, and you die...

http://sandiego.cityandpress.com/node/7199169

Quote:"The driver told deputies that he lost brake control in the big rig and slammed into a tree."

Note: Looks like trees and buildings are now our 'backup brakes'. Tires and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, bad things can happen: brakes burn out or ignite, tires ignite or explode, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem affects massive vehicles the worst, like tractor trailers, tanker trucks, dump trucks, buses, big RVs, pickups and SUVs towing heavy stuff, etc, but no vehicle is immune...

2013-12-17 - Man found dead, foaming at the mouth, in building in coastal Spanish Town on the island of Jamaica:

Quote:"Residents say the dead man was known for collecting plastic bottles for recycling, and that the body was found with foam coming from the mouth when they entered the building this morning."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can cause chemical damage to lungs, resulting in foaming at the mouth. Two men died foaming at the mouth in their car a few days back, in Asaba (Nigeria), as mentioned in the 2013-12-12 update. A family of five was found dead foaming at the mouth in their home in Karachi (Pakistan), as mentioned in the 2013-12-09 update. Three students collapsed unconscious and foamed at the mouth outside Riverside High School in El Paso (Texas), as mentioned in the 2013-06-04 update, just downwind of the Rio Grande. Earlier this year, also in Jamaica, dozens of people sickened and collapsed unconscious on the streets as 'noxious fumes' hit them, as mentioned in the 2013-02-28 update...

2013-12-17 - Mystery illness kills 4 people in Montgomery County (Texas):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20131218-41981-USA

Quote:"Officials with the Montgomery County Health Department are on a mission to find out more about a mystery flu-like illness. So far, half of the people who have come down with it have died. According to the health department, all of the patients have had flu-like and/or pneumonia like symptoms. However, all of them have tested negative for the flu. There have been eight confirmed patients ranging in age from 41 to 68. Four of those patients have died."

Note: They've identified no pathogen, possibly because this was caused by hydrogen sulfide, which can cause 'flu-like' symptoms and respiratory problems. If that's the case then they will never find a pathogen, because there isn't one. Texas has seen other mysterious mass-sickening events. More than 20 students collapsed unconscious at an outdoor stadium, with a strange smell mentioned, in early November 2011. Three students collapsed foaming at the mouth outside Riverside High School in El Paso (Texas), as mentioned in the 2013-06-04 update.

2013-12-18 - Disturbing number of corpses being found in rivers in Mwea (Kenya):

http://allafrica.com/stories/201312190357.html

Quote:"The rate at which decomposed bodies are being recovered from rivers in Kirinyaga county is worrying, police have said. Mwea East police boss Apollo Onyonyi yesterday said that they have recovered more than 100 bodies from Rupingazi and Nyamindi rivers. He said the bodies are suspected to have originated from Gichugu constituency and float downstream to Mwea. Onyonyi said the bodies have no visible marks to suggest foul play and are difficult to identify."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and it will flow downhill, ending up in the same places that water does, like rivers. So these corpses are probably people who have gone to the river to fish or bathe or whatever, then they get a whiff, lose consciousness, fall into the water and breathe water until dead, then float downstream until found...

Note: Suspect arson, blah blah blah, but as usual, no witnesses, no motive, no surveillance footage, no nothin' that suggests a person started this fire. Nice pic of the lake right there...

http://www.wcnc.com/news/local/Rowan-Co-home-nearly-destroyed-in-fire-236432251.html

Quote:"Investigators believe the fire started in the garage. Two cars were also destroyed."

Note: Fire probably started when one of those parked cars spontaneously ignited. All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, so it's just foolish to park vehicles next to your residence, unless you wanna end up both vehicle-less and homeless, like this family (and many others before them). This street is right on the shore of High Rock Lake...

http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20131219/NEWS01/712199890

Quote:"The fire was started by an overheated heater vent where it vented to the outside of the building."

Note: Any hydrogen sulfide or methane that blows by might ignite in the presence of heated air. This occurred late at night, when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground. And obviously, as the Pacific Ocean plumes both gases, the West Coast is right in the path, since winds tend to blow west-to-east due to the Earth's rotation...

Note: Whew, quite the crash and fire! Some spectacular pics in the links. This is why I mentioned that you don't wanna be living near roads or train tracks where large amounts of flammable fuels or chemicals are transported, not with all the mammoth fiery accidents going on these days...

Quote:"Chicken is the most popular meat in America, but Consumer Reports' tests of more than 300 raw chicken breasts found potentially harmful bacteria in 97 percent of their samples."

2013-12-19 - Mysterious explosions and flashes of light reported in Montgomery County (Kentucky):

http://www.lex18.com/news/strange-explosion-noises-reported-in-montgomery-county/
http://www.sott.net/article/270579-Strange-explosion-noises-reported-in-Montgomery-County

Quote:"Strange noises and flashes of light are what hundreds of people say they saw and heard Wednesday night in Montgomery County. The Montgomery County dispatch says they got a few hundred calls from people reporting hearing several loud noises, and some people reported seeing flashes of lights. Local gas companies did not report any ruptured lines."

Note: These mysterious explosions, often accompanied by flashes of light, really started ramping up a couple of years ago, right around the time when methane began gushing into the atmosphere and HazMat events and events involving hydrogen sulfide or 'rotten egg' odors began escalating. That's no coincidence. These explosions are highly likely caused by atmospheric methane and/or hydrogen sulfide finding an ignition source and detonating. Eventually these explosions may rival the power of the fission explosion that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus any radiation, unless an explosion takes out a nuclear plant, many of which are located on coastlines and all of which are near bodies of water for cooling. In that case, we'd get radiation too...

Quote:"A nitric acid-fueled fire at a Tulsa County chemical plant was extinguished shortly after 10 p.m., according to Sapulpa police."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with nitric acid. A nitric acid explosion recently damaged a business too, in November, in Falls Township (Pennsylvania), injuring 2 people, as mentioned in the 2013-11-07 update...

http://news.ng.msn.com/national-news/fire-guts-nnpc-mega-station

Quote:"The incident occurred barely two weeks after the Conoil filling station on Herbert Macaulay Way, Central Business District was gutted by fire when a tanker was also discharging fuel."

Note: This sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match. Incidents just like this one are on the rise, with vehicles bursting into flame while loading or unloading fuel. The day prior, a car burst into flame at a gas station and incinerated a mother and her young son, in Mehu (India). I'm sure the odds that you'll burn to death the next time you gas up are still quite low, but those odds are rising...

Quote:"The fire is believed to have started in the trash and spread to the home, car and boat."

Note: But what ignited the trash? Probably hydrogen sulfide finding some electrified copper or rusty iron/steel on one of those vehicles, resulting in a spark landing on the trash, and then the fire took off from there...

Quote:"Shipp's is part of the Sportsman Marina complex on Canal Road in Orange Beach."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, so any vehicle, device, home or business containing electrified copper is vulnerable to this problem, which will worsen as the atmospheric contamination proceeds. It's not at all surprising that the US government is training for a grid-failure scenario...

http://www.kmov.com/news/local/-Downtown-warehouse-catches-fire-for-2nd-time-in-week-236533911.html

Note: A huge fire just hit this place 3 days prior, as mentioned in the 2013-12-16 update. When a structure is vulnerable to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem, putting out a fire doesn't address the vulnerability. This is happening regularly now, buildings burning multiple times. Eventually buildings burn so completely that there's nothing left that CAN burn, and then the problem is solved, if you want to call utter destruction a 'solution'...

http://www.seattlepi.com/news/science/article/12-bald-eagles-found-dead-in-Utah-5078897.php

Quote:"The recent rash of deaths has raised serious alarms in Utah. 'I don't ever recall having this many eagles die in such a short period of time,' Hadley said. 'It is very unusual.'"

Note: They mention head tremors. Hydrogen sulfide is neurotoxic and can cause brain damage, sometimes resulting in twitching and tremors, like the school girls who were playing basketball outdoors in Le Roy (New York) who suddenly came down with Tourette's-like head twitching, mentioned in the 2012-01-26 update. No cause was ever found for that, but since it affected a number of people, all outdoors, all in the same area, it was obviously something environmental, quite possibly a neurotoxic poison, like, say, hydrogen sulfide. Oatka Creek runs right through Le Roy, which is also near the coast. Birds are particularly vulnerable to gases because they're lightweight and have rapid respiration rates...

Note: From the full hypothesis: "As planes land, they will more frequently blow tires, or their landing gear will collapse, or they will run off runways."

Quote:"In a weird coincidence, two tour buses heading to or from casinos overturned on Interstate 15 tens of miles apart and within the same hour on Thursday afternoon, killing one person and injuring dozens. One bus crashed at about 2:30 p.m. on I-15 north of Fallbrook in northern San Diego County, killing one person and injuring 20 others..."

Quote:"A second tour bus overturned shortly after 2 p.m. on I-15 in Corona, injuring 30 people."

Note: Near the coast, same timeframe, same general area, same atmosphere. I wouldn't be so sure this is merely coincidence...

http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/408484-peru-bus-crash-in-mayorarca-ancash-kills-15-injures-58/

Note: The above two events do seem to be separate incidents, the first one 170 miles from Lima, the second one 134 miles from Lima, so about 36 miles from each other. This area is right on Peru's west coast. Like the tour buses overturning near the coast in California, I also doubt that these two bus crashes in Peru are a coincidence...

Quote:"An unidentified 60-year-old man from Danbury suffered extensive burns 'over most of his body' when an explosion occurred around 6:20 a.m. as he pumped gas into his vehicle..."

Quote:"Police told News 8 the man was at the gas pump when a fireball erupted."

Note: This sounds VERY MUCH like the work of the Ghostly Match. And two days prior, a mother and her young son were incinerated at a gas station in Mehu (India), as mentioned in the 2013-12-18 update. I mentioned refueling specifically because of events like these. Numerous boats have exploded and burned in the last year while refueling too; it's the same problem, and you'll never see it coming until it's too late. Might be worth paying extra for full service...

Aside from the homes that need to be demolished, dozens other homes on the street had damage to siding and windows."

Quote:"A photo from a Fox 8 viewer shows the home was completely leveled. Viewers from surrounding communities, as many as 10 miles away, had reported hearing the blast. Houses on both sides were also damaged. Residents up and down the street all say they had debris in their yard."

Quote:"The fire appeared to start between 3:30 a.m – 4:00 a.m this morning in the north-western corner of the landfill site where the baled metals are stored, and subsequently spread toward the area where the tires are stored."

Quote:"The fire began early Friday in the capital of George Town near the Seven Mile Beach area."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel, no other ignition source necessary. If you put flammable stuff - like tires - near any rusty iron/steel then you're apt to get a fire just like this. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground...

2013-12-21 - Explosion damages structure on Rutrough Road in Roanoke (Virginia), 1 injured:

http://www.wsls.com/story/24279948/police-investigating-cause-of-rutrough-road-explosion

Quote:"Police say upon arrival, they found someone burnt from the explosion. That person was taken to Carilion Roanoke Memorial, but was then been transferred to Wake Forest Medical Center with serious injuries. Police are not releasing that person's name at this time. Police did say the explosion was limited to one structure."

Note: It was probably a home. I used Google Street View (which is pretty handy sometimes) and looked around and there are a few rural homes and a pond along that road in the 2600 block, didn't see anything else except detached garages next to some of the homes...

Note: A train engine burst into flame at 3 AM the day prior, in the Island Lakes area (Canada), as mentioned in the 2013-12-20 update. Trains aren't that different from standard passenger vehicles. Since more passenger vehicles are going up in flames, you'd expect to see more trains catching fire too, and they are...

Note: Another parked vehicle spontaneously igniting and destroying a home. If it weren't for a Good Samaritan man who alerted them, they might have all died. All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, so you're seriously gambling if you park a vehicle near your residence...

2013-12-21 - Two sewer workers collapse and die inside sewer in Jinja (Uganda):

Note: Jinja is located on the shore of Lake Victoria. This was highly likely caused by hydrogen sulfide, commonly known as 'sewer gas'. And hydrogen sulfide events frequently end up like this, where one person succumbs then someone else tries to help and they succumb too...

Quote:"After putting out the blaze, firefighters discovered the body in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. Though they don’t suspect anything other than an accident, the case is still being investigated by the state fire marshal’s office."

Note: Sure are a lot of people accidentally burning to death in vehicles these days. From the full hypothesis: "Vehicles of all kinds will continue to burn, as they have been, and the number of vehicular fires will continue to escalate, inevitably resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of people being incinerated in their vehicles."

2013-12-21 - Passenger bus loses brakes, hits tree, in coastal Pintuyan (Philippine Islands), 54 injured:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VI-20131222-42016-PHL

Quote:"Initial investigation of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Pintuyan showed that the bus had trouble with its brake system, causing the driver to crash the vehicle into a tree in a saddle point in Barangay Son-ok at around 2:30 p.m."

Note: Tire rubber and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated, since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires explode or ignite, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem affects massive vehicles - like buses - the worst, but no vehicle is immune. Trees and buildings are becoming our 'brakes of last resort'...

http://thelcn.com/2013/12/23/transformer-fails-at-arkema/

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, thus all the underground electrical fires and explosions, the 'electrical fires' in vehicles (whether running or not), etc. An EMP or solar flare is not necessary to take out the electrical grid. Atmospheric contamination is already detrimentally affecting our electrical infrastructure and as the atmospheric contamination problem intensifies, this problem is going to get much worse...

2013-12-22 - Thirteenth bald eagle dies in Utah:
http://www.seattlepi.com/news/science/article/Officials-13th-eagle-found-dead-in-Utah-5088033.php

Quote:"Wildlife officials say a young female eagle died Saturday near Centerville and displayed the same head tremors that other birds displayed."

Quote:"The dying birds have all been discovered since the beginning of December and were found in five different counties: Davis, Weber, Box Elder, Tooele and Utah."

Note: Head tremors again, just like those school girls suddenly began experiencing after playing outdoors in Le Roy (New York), mentioned in the 2012-01-26 update. Hydrogen sulfide is neurotoxic and it can cause brain damage, and brain damage can result in muscle tics and tremors, not unlike those who suffer from Tourette's. Birds are highly vulnerable to gases because of their low body weight and rapid respiration. Carrier pigeons have been disappearing since 2012 over the ocean between Britain and Scotland too. They've called that the 'Birdmuda Triangle', as mentioned in the 2012-08-29 update. Birds have simply dropped dead from the sky in numerous places the last few years too...

'The main fire started in one of their tow trucks,' the chief said in an interview. 'Then it spread to another tow truck and then to a pick-up truck and then to three other cars.' At this juncture damage is estimated at more than $150,000, he said."

http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/news/local/car-destroyed-in-fire-at-aberdeen-sports-field-1.169002

Note: All of the above vehicles were parked, not running. Vehicles need not be running to spontaneously combust now. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables and other wiring in vehicles. It's also reactive with rusty iron/steel, which all vehicles have unless they've just rolled off the assembly line. As a consequence, vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time. Many people are losing their homes - and sometimes their lives - when their vehicle bursts into flame inside a garage or in a driveway. Park a vehicle near your residence (or near anything you don't want to see destroyed, like other vehicles) at your own risk...

The southbound side was also slow as people looked at what was happening. It happened around 12:30 PM. No reports of any injuries."

http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/2013/bucklebury-car-fire-being-treated-as-suspicious

Quote:"Someone rolled the car off a driveway and pushed it to the common land..."

Note: Maybe after it caught fire, it started itself and rolled away on its own. If so, it wouldn't be the first time that's happened. The most memorable such incident so far of a vehicle catching fire and taking off on its own was when a boat burst into flame, started itself, then tore across the harbor on fire smashing into other boats, in coastal Coffs Harbor (Australia), as mentioned in the 2013-05-03 update...

2013-12-23 - Lawn tractor bursts into flame inside garage, fire spreads to home, in Jefferson Hills (Pennsylvania), 2 injured:
http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2013/12/23/2-injured-in-jefferson-hills-fire/

Quote:"It happened before 10 p.m. in the 4000-block of Rustic Woods Drive. Officials say two people were injured in the blaze. Both were taken to UPMC Mercy. Firefighters say the fire started with a lawn tractor in the garage, which then caught fire."

Note: Since it was around 10 PM, I doubt they'd used that lawn tractor too recently, so this was another parked vehicle (of a sort) spontaneously igniting and burning up a home. Park a vehicle near your residence and you may very well end up dead. Many people have already died that way...

2013-12-23 - Nitrogen pipes catch fire at business in Colorado Springs (Colorado):
http://www.kktv.com/home/headlines/Nitrogen-Pipe-Fire-237015071.html

Quote:"Crews on scene told 11 News that bushings in the piping likely melted, and the combination of nitrogen and oxygen created small fires which burned themselves out."

Note: They're obviously missing something here. Nitrogen is an inert gas. Our atmosphere is primarily comprised of nitrogen and oxygen, so if that's all it took for fires to break out then this planet would've been a charred cinder eons ago. Here is a page that shows a flammability diagram involving nitrogen, oxygen and methane. Obviously there was nitrogen and oxygen involved in this fire, but there was something else too, and just as in the example with that document, it may have been methane. (Or hydrogen sulfide, or hydrogen sulfide mixed with methane.)

Quote:"Called lithopedian, or 'stone baby,' it's a rare syndrome in which a fetus dies during an ectopic pregnancy or when it is planted outside the uterus, geobeats says. If the fetus is too large to be absorbed by the body, the mother's immune system will cover it in layers of calcium, leaving the woman unaware what is going on as she would be protected from the dead fetus."

2013-12-24 - Mysterious explosion shakes homes in the Greater Toronto Area (Canada):

http://globalnews.ca/news/1049816/mysterious-christmas-eve-boom-heard-around-gta/
http://www.news.nom.co/mysterious-christmas-eve-boom-heard-and-7589500-news/

Quote:"Even more mysterious is that some people reported hearing booms at other times during the day as well, ranging from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Christmas morning. The United States Geological Service (USGS) didn’t record any seismic event in Ontario yesterday, and there were no reports to the American Meteor Society."

Note: Mysterious explosions and flashes of light were just reported in Montgomery County (Kentucky) too, as mentioned in the 2013-12-19 update. These mysterious explosions, sometimes accompanied by flashes of light, are likely caused by atmospheric methane and hydrogen sulfide finding an ignition source and detonating. These neighborhood-shaking or city-shaking explosions really started increasing in frequency a couple of years ago, around the time that methane began pluming into the atmosphere in large amounts in multiple areas around the planet. Also around that time is when hydrogen sulfide events began escalating, including unexplained 'odor' events, reports of 'rotten egg' odors, unexplained HazMat events, mass-sickening events, etc. That's not a coincidence. Eventually these atmospheric explosions may rival those caused by the detonation of small nuclear bombs, like the one that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation...

2013-12-24 - Underground explosions and fire blow manholes off, damage car, office evacuated, in Laindon (Britain), near the coast:
http://www.southendstandard.co.uk/news/echo/10896235.Building_evacuated_after_explosion/

Quote:"At first we thought it was a gas leak, but now we are 90 per cent sure it wasn’t. 'Somehow petrol entered the sewers, fumes went along the sewer drainage pipes and found their way to the boiler room in the office building.'"

Note: Dunno why they'd assume this had anything to do with petrol, but methane and hydrogen sulfide are both produced in sewers and both are flammable, especially hydrogen sulfide. In addition, hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas, so any that blows in off the ocean will tend to flow to low-lying areas, like sewers. There've been lots of fires like this, especially in the last year as the atmospheric contamination has intensified. In fact, Britain experienced a more than 200% increase in underground electrical explosions and fires, year-over-year, between 2011 and 2012, as mentioned in the 2013-06-16 update and the pace is obviously accelerating...

Quote:"The noise from the blast, which went off at about 3:30 p.m. CST, could be heard around the city. By 5 p.m., the flames at the Co-op Refinery were 95 per cent contained, fire officials said. People in the area who witnessed the incident said they saw fire and smoke coming out of the complex..."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Likewise, chemical plants of all types will burn and/or explode, including biofuels plants, fertilizer plants, specialty chemical plants, petroleum-related facilities and more."

2013-12-24 - Funeral home destroyed by explosion and huge inferno, in Memphis (Tennessee):

Quote:"According to neighbors, the fire started with a loud explosion. 'We were watching TV and we heard this loud explosion. And at first we didn't think anything of it, we thought it was a gunshot and as my son got up to look out the window he notices that the funeral home was on fire and at that moment we called 911,' said Kathy Pride. 'It was burning, it was completely burning. I was just hoping it didn't catch anything else on fire.'"

2013-12-24 - Restaurant explodes at 1:30 AM at mall in Petaling Jaya (Malaysia), 2 injured:

http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/2-pub-patrons-injured-in-gas-explosion-at-jaya-one-mall

Quote:"The latest explosion involving gas cylinders is one of many in the country over the last 12 months."

Note: A rising number of explosions and fires is to be expected as the atmosphere becomes increasingly contaminated by flammable hydrogen sulfide and methane. The same thing is happening elsewhere, with Vietnam's government meeting to discuss all the vehicular fires, people in India becoming alarmed about all the people being incinerated in bus fires, homes and vehicles and businesses exploding and burning in the United States and Canada, and so on...

Quote:"The fire hit the old Wah Mee building, site of the Wah Mee Massacre– the worst mass murder in Seattle history. Three men – Tony Ng, Willie Mak and Benjamin Ng – went into the basement of an illegal gambling club and hogtied, robbed and killed 13 people. Tony Ng, who claims he didn’t participate in the actual shootings, was paroled in October. Benjamin Ng and Mak are serving life sentences without parole."

http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/12/25/wild-elephant-found-dead-riau.html

Quote:"It is suspected that the elephant died of poisoning there was evidence that it had vomited blood from its mouth."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can cause bleeding from the mouth, nose, ears. Bleeding herring were found dead this summer near coastal Vancouver Island (Canada), as mentioned in the 2013-08-14 update. A number of people have died after mysteriously bleeding out similarly. A young man was found dead in car bleeding from nose and mouth in coastal Jacksonville (Florida), as mentioned in the 2013-10-06 update. A man in his 60s or 70s dropped dead on a street in coastal Cebu City in the Philippine Islands, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, as mentioned in the 2013-09-09 update. A Nigerian singer, 26, was found dead at a private beach on the island of Cyprus, blood oozing from his ears, nose and mouth, as mentioned in the 2013-08-10 update.

A college student, 22, was found dead sitting in a chair, blood oozing from nose, at Panjab University (India), as mentioned in the 2013-05-15 update. And so on. I could go on for a scarily long while here...

Quote:"It is unknown what caused the man to disappear under water."

Note: Unconsciousness perhaps. Hydrogen sulfide can knock a person unconscious (or dead) with one breath, and it's also a heavier-than-air gas which will accumulate in the same places that water does, so you end up seeing lots of corpses in or near bodies of water...

2013-12-25 - Beachgoers attacked by carnivorous palometa in Rosario (Argentina), 70 people injured:

http://news.yahoo.com/argentina-70-injured-carnivorous-fish-attack-173624035.html

Quote:"A swarm of biting fish injured more than 70 people who were bathing at a popular beach in Argentina on Christmas, a medical official said on Thursday. A seven-year-old girl had her finger partially amputated and dozens more suffered bite wounds on their extremities from the fish, a relative of the piranha called 'palometas,' said Federico Cornier, the director of emergency services in the city of Rosario."

Quote:"'This is not normal,' Cornier said on television. 'It's normal for there to be an isolated bite or injury, but the magnitude in this case was great ... this is an exceptional event.' The attack happened off the popular beaches of the Parana River near Rosario, 300 kilometers (186 miles) north of Buenos Aires, where many Argentines were seeking relief from a heat wave over the holiday."

Quote:"An attack by a school of carnivorous fish has injured 70 people bathing in an Argentine river, including seven children who lost parts of their fingers or toes."

Note: Sounds like a scene from the B-movie classic 'Piranha'. From the full hypothesis: "Predators will attempt to adapt to the changes in the biosphere and may turn to our pets or to us as an alternate source of nutrition."

2013-12-25 - Man, 35, threatens to eat female roommate, then stabs and kills her dog, in Santa Rosa (California):

Quote:"When they arrived, the victim said her roommate, 35-year-old Alan Evans, had grabbed her head, pulled her hair and slapped her before threatening to kill and 'eat her.' She then ran to a neighbor’s house where she called authorities. Deputies found the victim’s dog – stabbed to death – under Evans’s vehicle."

Note: Clearly not the best roommate one could imagine...

2013-12-26 - 'Strange odor' hits hamlet of Plainview in the Town of Oyster Bay, on Long Island (New York), blamed on landfill:

http://www.facebook.com/News12LI/posts/10151974361283551
http://longisland.news12.com/news/officials-110-sand-company-landfill-is-likely-source-of-strange-odor-near-old-bethpage-village-restoration-1.6674883

Quote:"Officials are reporting complaints of a methane gas smell."

Quote:"Prior to realizing there was a widespread odor in Plainview I thought one of my parents was making hard boiled eggs or something at 10:00 last night, because that's the time I started to smell the horrible stench."

Note: Derp. Methane is odorless, so nobody was smelling methane. That odor was very likely hydrogen sulfide and they may be right about the cause being the landfill, as landfills are traditional sources of hydrogen sulfide (and methane). But then again, this is a coastal area, so hydrogen sulfide may be blowing in off the ocean too. In June 2013, the City of Roxbury (New Jersey) began drawing up evacuation plans because of hydrogen sulfide from a nearby landfill, as mentioned in the 2013-06-14 update. A rotten egg odor was wafting in from the ocean in Quincy (Massachusetts), as mentioned in the 2013-05-09 update. The Inner Harbor suddenly changed color to milky-white-green in coastal Baltimore, with a sulfur odor smelled, and all the fish there were found dead, as mentioned in the 2013-07-18 update. Regardless of the source, residents should be quite concerned, because hydrogen sulfide is a gas-chamber-quality poison gas. If people there start coming down with 'flu-like' illnesses, start experiencing nosebleeds, weird skin rashes, headaches, dizziness, etc, then they're being poisoned...

http://www.timesheraldonline.com/news/ci_24797187/man-found-dead-couch-front-yard-hayward-home

Note: A home was recently destroyed by an explosion and fire in Hayward too, before 5 AM, as mentioned in the 2013-12-13 update. Because of the rotation of the Earth, winds tend to flow west-to-east, so California and all of the West Coast are getting hit by hydrogen sulfide and methane belching from the Pacific Ocean. That doesn't mean you'd be hugely safer farther inland though - the gases don't stop at the West Coast; they keep on blowing onward...

Quote:"Police said Sivanand may have consumed poison."

Note: More likely he BREATHED some poison. A growing number of people have been found dead like this, with blood oozing from nose, mouth and/or ears. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can cause bleeding from nose, mouth and/or ears, though more commonly you just stop being able to breathe and your heart then stops, which looks exactly like 'natural causes', like that guy who dropped dead while sitting on the couch in coastal Hayward (California), and the man who dropped dead in the cemetery in Richmond (Virginia)...

2013-12-29 - Mysterious explosion shakes homes and alarms residents in coastal Corpus Christi (Texas):

http://www.kristv.com/news/mysterious-loud-boom-rattles-rolls-most-of-city/
http://www.kiiitv.com/story/24324546/mystery-boom-sound-frightens-residents

Quote:"Reports of the boom stretch from the Rodd Field and Yorktown area to downtown and many places in between. But after an extensive search of the area, no evidence of an explosion or fire was ever found. No one knows for sure where the boom came from or what caused it."

Note: As the atmosphere has become increasingly contaminated by flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide, these mysterious explosions have been increasing in frequency. Sometimes they are accompanied by a 'flash of light'. Eventually these explosions may rival the force of the small nuclear explosion that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation. I imagine that once these explosions start wiping out large chunks of cities, the next story will be, obviously, 'terr'rists did it!' What else are they gonna say? The truth? Wouldn't count on that. Corpus Christi is right on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Another mysterious explosion shook homes in Toronto (Canada) the other day, as mentioned in the 2013-12-24 update. Toronto is located on the shore of Lake Ontario. An outdoor explosion just injured several people at a beachside resort in the Canary Islands, as mentioned in the 2013-12-28 update. There have been a great many of these mysterious explosions now...

I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that people are bursting into flame and sometimes burning to death at an accelerating pace, exactly as one would expect from an atmosphere increasingly contaminated by flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide...

http://en.starafrica.com/news/104-passengers-unhurt-as-nigeria-plane-crash-lands.html

Quote:"Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Nasir Elrufai, Sunday morning cheated death as he and other passengers on board an Aero Contractor plane, survived a crash landing in Lagos. El-lrufai, who was on his way to attend Last Sunday of the year Church service at Pastor Tunde Bakare’s Latter Rain Assembly, broke the news via his Twitter handle. Nasir El-Rufai (@elrufai): 'Upon landing in Lagos, our Aero aircraft lost a tyre. The pilot did a great job of breaking to a halt suitably. My phones flew under seats, he said'."

2013-12-29 - Small plane lands, landing gear collapses, plane skids on belly, in Fresno (California):
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news/local&id=9374462

Quote:"They say a pilot was practicing touch and go landings in a single engine Cessna when his landing gear had a mechanical failure. It collapsed when hitting the runway, and the plane skidded to a stop on its belly."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "As planes land, they will more frequently blow tires, or their landing gear will collapse, or they will run off runways."

2013-12-29 - Van's brakes fail, van hits car, plunges down embankment, bursts into flame, in Auburn (California), 1 killed, 6 injured:
http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/dec/29/1-killed-6-injured-in-northern-calif-van-crash/

Quote:"California Highway Patrol Officer Chris Nave said people were returning from a trip to Reno on Interstate 80 Sunday when the brakes in Chevy Astro apparently gave out."

Note: Note the brake failure on the tour bus near the coast in Thailand too. Tires and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated, because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: brakes burn out or ignite, tires explode or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem hits massive vehicles the worst, but no vehicle is immune. This particular vehicle was a Chevy Astro van hauling a number of people, so fairly massive. Don't count on your brakes working when you need them to work...

Quote:"A bailey bridge under construction over the Sunkoshi River on the border between Udaypur and Okhaldhunga districts collapsed on Saturday. There were, however, no casualties in the incident. The bridge is the only link connecting Khotang, Okhaldhunga and Solukhumbu. Following its collapse, hundreds of thousands of people in the three districts have been hit hard. Technicians involved in the bridge construction told the Post in the evening that the officials were not sure about the reason for the collapse as the broken parts of the bridge is under water."

The Coast Guard said Monday that they were searching for 27-year-old Patrick Holden and 26-year-old Joe Squibb, who had gone sailing on a 25-foot sailboat."

Note: Two boaters just went missing at Lake Tarpon in coastal Tarpon Springs (Florida) too, as mentioned in the 2013-12-28 update. Both sets of missing boaters: in or near the Gulf of Mexico. And, say, that mysterious explosion in Corpus Christi was also on the Gulf Coast. Last link is an update on the search for the missing Lake Tarpon boaters...

Note: LMAO! That's very smart. One of them discovered a euphoric drug, of a sort, and now they're teaching each other and sharing the drug amongst themselves, like passing a bong around. They're gettin' puffed up! Spicoli would approve...

Quote:"After a partial, precautionary evacuation of about 300 residents, shifting winds early in the evening prompted the Cass County Sheriff's Office to recommend that the entire town of 2,400 people leave, along with anyone within a 5-mile radius, the Fargo-based Inforum newspaper reported."

Quote:"Smoke could be seen 15 miles away. Residents reported hearing at least six explosions. 'I looked out the window and all of a sudden the train car tipped over and the whole thing was engulfed in flames and it just exploded,' said 13-year-old Hannah Linnard, who was at her friend's house about half a mile from the derailment."

2013-12-30 - Explosion rattles residents in and around coastal Pelham Bay, Bronx (New York), blamed on fireworks:
http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/424747-bronx-explosion-felt-on-monday-was-large-box-of-fireworks-fdny-says/
http://www.breaking911.com/breaking-large-explosion-heard-in-bronx-pelham-bay-park-westchester-county-bergen-county-nj/

Quote:"People also heard the explosion or whatever it was in Yonkers, Bergen County in New Jersey, and as far away as Glen Cove on Long Island."

Quote:"Maria Castro, a Bronx resident, said that the explosion shook her brick house. 'Those were definitely not fireworks!' she said. 'Every single house in Country Club shook.' Castro described the impact as 'terrifying' and 'a huge explosion.''It felt like a car crashed into my house!' Added Kelly MCormick: 'This whole "large box of fireworks was detonated" excuse seems thin. You don’t feel an explosion in Westchester from fireworks in the Bronx.'"

Note: Heh, doesn't sound like people buy the fireworks story. Can't blame them. To cause that much shaking, across that broad of an area, you'd need a Timothy McVeigh-sized truck full of explosives, maybe more. A cloud of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide could cause an explosion like this though, and this area is right along the coast, and right off the coast there are 2.5 gigatons of dissociating methane hydrates. That's enough explosive force just in that one deposit to wipe out about 2500 good-sized cities if efficiently distributed (which, fortunately, won't happen)...

2013-12-30 - Auto salvage yard hit by major fire, in Fort Worth (Texas):

Quote:"Representatives with Texas Industrial Scrap Iron say the fire originated in a pile of scrap metal and workers were unable to extinguish the flames before it spread."

Note: And a huge inferno just burned hundreds of cars at an auto salvage yard in Oak Ridge (New Jersey), near the Oak Ridge Reservoir, as mentioned in the 2013-12-28 update. That fire may STILL be burning. From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

Quote:"Anne Arundel County firefighters responded to two apparently unrelated vehicle fires Monday morning on Route 50 near Davidsonville. Firefighters responded to westbound Route 50 about a mile before Route 424 around 7:20 a.m., where they found the first vehicle on fire. As they were preparing to leave the scene after bringing the blaze under control, firefighters discovered a second vehicle fire farther up the road around 7:45 a.m..."

Note: Appearances can be deceiving. These two fires were definitely related by two things: geographic area and the atmosphere. As the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane plumes increase in number, size and concentration, this is one of the things we should expect to see: multiple vehicles igniting in the same general area during a compressed timeframe. This isn't the first time this has happened...

Quote:"The Munros believe Ferriera ran towards the barn around 10:30 p.m. when he initially saw the smoke and fire. However, by the time he got there, he struggled to open the door and collapsed near the barn as the birds and livestock perished inside. They say Ferriera remains in Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre after suffering an apparent heart attack on Sunday night."

2013-12-30 - Goat born with human face in Likoni Mombasa (Kenya):
http://healthydebates.com/farmer-shocked-goat-born-human-face/

Quote:"The goat is also turning the usually quiet small town upside down as locals fear that the goat was born as a result of a man having sex with the goat."

Note: Hah, doesn't work that way. But as the planet's protective ozone layer dissolves, the Sun is looking whiter, and the planet is being bombarded with increasing amounts of UV radiation, which damages DNA and RNA. To replace missing data, it appears Mother Nature is able to splice in genetic data, probably via passing viruses (which is the same method used in gene therapy), and that data may not be from the same species. I call these hybrid creatures genetic chimeras.

That mermaid found a while back? Possibly a human-fish chimera. Bigfoot? Possibly human-bear chimera. Legends of satyrs, minotaurs, dragons, etc, may all derive from rare and isolated appearances of genetic chimeras. This problem is probably, at least in part, why they chemtrail over highly-populated areas - to prevent widespread DNA/RNA damage, because obviously once lots of people start giving birth to pig-people and goat-people and lizard-people and the like, people are gonna wake up, at least to that small part of the threat we face.

A doctor recently hypothesized that homo sapiens are the result of a blending between primate and pig, which would explain many things, like our protruding noses, hairlessness, and fatty skin layer. (The latter is what allowed us to spread across the world. Primates lack that fatty layer and so they're stuck in warmer climates.) That very well could be the case, not via sex, but through this damage-induced gene-splicing mechanism, which is likely just Mother Nature's way of preserving complexity and evolutionary advances, especially in hard times, like, say, during planetary extinction events.

It could also be that it is the male that suffers DNA damage then his DNA gets spliced, so his sperm would then be a carrier of another species' genetic information. So a male primate who has suffered genetic damage comes down with swine flu (virus with pig and human DNA), his own DNA gets spliced and he then creates sperm with pig-infused DNA, has sex with a female primate, and pig-primate chimeras are born. Primates might very well take care of 'hairless apes' - being not terribly unlike them, after all - and give them a chance at life. That would mean that the original 'Adam and Eve' may have been pig-DNA-contaminated primates born to a female primate after she had sex with a male whose sperm was contaminated with pig DNA. Some people have mocked that scientist, calling the hypothesis the 'Pig-F##ked-A-Monkey Hypothesis', but SEX across species isn't required, nor would it work. That was really the only serious flaw with his hypothesis: he proposed no mechanism for the mixing of the two types of DNA. Well, here it is: Mother Nature has her own natural 'gene therapy' process, also using viruses, and the probability that this process occurs on a per-reproductive-event basis increases as the amount of damage incurred by DNA/RNA increases, for whatever reason. That would also explain our inability to find our evolutionary ancestors, the fabled 'missing link'. If this is how we came to be then no one will EVER find the missing link because there IS no missing link: we went from primate to pig-primate in one step.

This problem could prove to be calamitous for human life. We could see human DNA infiltrating a lizard species that reproduces via parthenogenesis, which means they'd only need one individual to start laying clutches of eggs. And if they were smart enough - from our DNA - and if they also had hands with opposable thumbs? Very dangerous. And if they were small, even MORE dangerous. That could easily resemble an 'alien invasion', except these 'aliens' would only have whatever technology they could figure out from watching us or from stealing our stuff.

Quite a lot of interesting 'strange creature' stuff out there in internet-land the last few years. Humanoid something seen on a deer cam. A 'wolf' that stood up on two legs and charged a hunter. A snake with a human head. A snake with wings, like a little dragon. A tiny humanoid found in Mexico, which lived for a number of years. Etc, etc. I don't dwell on it, but I do keep my eyes open, because I believe we're seeing Mother Nature implementing her 'gene therapy' process on creatures all over now, as UV levels rise and DNA/RNA sustains more damage. Fukushima might also accelerate this process; I would not doubt that. So you just never know what weird new creature is gonna wash ashore or be seen these days...

Note: So in just two days, that was two transformer fires, an odor investigation, 10 illness calls, 6 calls about difficulty breathing, 5 people having seizures, 3 people having heart attacks, and 4 people losing consciousness. And look at the timing on some of the sequences, like two people having seizures within one minute, two heart attacks within 19 minutes, two people losing consciousness within 3 minutes, etc. Columbus isn't a gigantic city either; it's a town with just 44,000 people. This town probably isn't even exceptional. I bet if I looked, I would find cities all over experiencing these same things, especially near coasts and lakes and in valleys and the like. As the atmospheric contamination intensifies, this can only get worse...
