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.

2013-11-26 - Mysterious explosion alarms residents of Saint-Lazare (Canada):

http://www.montrealgazette.com/What%20that%20boom/9216575/story.html
http://offislandgazette.com/news/story/2013/11/26/what-was-that-boom-off-islanders-hear-something/
http://westislandgazette.com/news/story/2013/11/26/loud-explosion-like-noise-heard-across-off-island-west-island/

Quote:"What was that boom? What was that flash of light? And where were they coming from? Hudson, St-Lazare and towns farther afield were rocked briefly by the sound of an explosion and a flash of blue-green light in the night sky at around 8 p.m. Tuesday. But the source of the big boom remains a mystery."

Note: Lots of bodies of water around this area. These mysterious explosions - sometimes accompanied by a flash of light - are likely atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes finding an ignition source and detonating. Methane burns blue and hydrogen sulfide burns green. The flash of light was blue-green. These mysterious explosions really started getting going a couple of years back, right around the time that methane releases around the world began accelerating and 'rotten egg' odors started being mentioned with some frequency. That's not a coincidence. Eventually these explosions may rival those generated by small nuclear bombs, like the fission explosion that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation. Poison gas, fires and explosions are the reasons governments around the world have been industriously constructing underground facilities; living on the surface of the Earth will be impossible. Don't tell me they've forgotten to mention that to you!?

http://www.wbaltv.com/news/maryland/eastern-shore/2-critically-injured-in-oc-church-fire/-/15158402/23166660/-/ik4f2fz/-/index.html

Quote:"According to the Episcopal Diocese of Easton, a man on fire walked in off the street, screaming for help. Rev. Heather Cook tells WBAL his clothes were on fire as he came into the basement of the church office building."

Quote:"The fire broke out around 9:25 a.m. in the rectory of St. Paul's By The Sea Episcopal Church at 302 N. Baltimore Ave."

Note: The man on fire was a homeless man. His clothes may have absorbed flammable hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and ignited via static electricity, or maybe he was a smoker and went to light a cig and caught fire. Kinda like the man who burst into flame outside a 7-11 in Provo (Utah), as mentioned in the 2013-02-11 update. There have been other events involving homeless people burning to death too, like the two homeless people who burned to death in Bidwell Park late last year, in Chico (California), as mentioned in the 2012-10-24 update. Might wanna be careful about where you store your clothes. Like, next to a window or on the floor or in a basement, probably not a great idea, unless you too wanna end up burning to death after running around on fire screaming for help...

Quote:"Best said a car that was parked just outside a ground-level garage somehow caught fire. The blaze then spread to the building..."

Note: Lexington has been busy with fires. A car, garage and home burned the day before, as mentioned in the 2013-11-25 update. And the night before that, two parked cars went up in flames outside a business, as mentioned in the 2013-11-24 update. What's a common factor in all the fires? One or more vehicles burning. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel, which all vehicles have, unless they've just rolled off the assembly line. Hydrogen sulfide is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like vehicle wiring. What this means is that vehicles of all types are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time. If you park a vehicle near your residence then you shouldn't be too surprised if you lose both your vehicle AND your residence, and possibly your life too, as many people already have...

http://www.9news.com/rss/story.aspx?storyid=366487

Quote:"The sheriff's office confirmed the plane had pieces falling off of it when it went down Wednesday afternoon. Witnesses said they heard a large explosion just before the plane began to break apart."

Note: Well, I've been expecting planes to start exploding in mid-air, and here's one. People aren't likely to pay much attention when it's a small plane like this one, but once commercial airliners start exploding regularly - which seems inevitable and could start any time - then I suspect that might open peoples' eyes a bit...

Quote:"The firefighters said that one of the men told her he woke up with his leg on fire."

Note: I bet his clothes or bedding had absorbed some hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, and static electricity ignited the clothes or bedding. There've been numerous incidents involving people bursting into flame. It's actually not the people igniting but rather their clothes. Hah, maybe the people going crazy and getting naked are the smart ones!

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

2013-11-27 - Tanker truck bursts into flame on the island of Tsing Yi (Hong Kong), man ignites too, 2 injured:
http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?we_cat=4&art_id=140038&sid=41005266&con_type=1&d_str=20131128&fc=4

Quote:"One of the drivers, named Poon, 63, had connected a fuel pipe into the top of the tanker around 7am as usual. During the refilling, a slight blast was heard before the front of the truck went up in flames. Poon's trousers caught fire, and he dropped to the floor from the oil platform, suffering burns to his hands, legs, and back. Another driver, named Cheung, 55, rushed to help, but fell hard to the ground, injuring his waist, back and legs."

Note: This sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match once again, much like the man and vehicle that burst into flame while gassing up at a gas station in Chattanooga (Tennessee), as mentioned in the 2013-11-25 update, though this tanker fire was obviously more serious...

2013-11-27 - Tractor trailer bursts into flame while parked at business in Calverton (New York), near the coast:
http://www.riverheadlocal.com/breaking-news/firefighters-douse-tractor-trailer-fire-in-calverton

Quote:"The owner of the truck, which was parked in the southwest corner of the FedEx parking lot, told police he hadn't started its engine since Monday, Brooks said."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel and electrified copper, and even non-running vehicles have those, unless the battery is removed or disconnected, in which case the vehicle will still have some rust on it. This is why 'cold' parked vehicles are spontaneously igniting all over the place. This one tiny aspect of the overall atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane contamination problem is all by itself a civilization-level threat...

Note: If not for that cop, that pickup driver would've been listed in the corpses section. Nice video, worth watching, first link. More and more people are getting burned to death in their vehicles and it's not hard to understand why: hydrogen sulfide will knock you unconscious or dead AND ignite your vehicle. That's surely why a newly engaged young couple burned to death in their vehicle after New Years, as mentioned in the 2013-01-01 update, and there have been a whole lot of people who've been found burned to death in burning or burned-out vehicles since then...

2013-11-28 - Transformer bursts into flame in coastal Brooklyn (New York), trains disrupted:

Quote:"A raging fire on a Brooklyn subway track left hordes of hungry holiday straphangers stuck without Brooklyn-bound train service for hours Thursday..."

Note: And two days prior, a fire broke out in the subway in coastal London (Britain), disrupting mass transit there, as mentioned in the 2013-11-26 update. Both New York City and London conducted tests this year to see where a heavier-than-air gas would go once in their respective subway systems. Coincidence? Hah, not a chance. Both the US and UK governments are aware of the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane contamination problem and so they know that hydrogen sulfide - a heavier-than-air gas - will be getting into the subways and causing problems, so they ran the tests to try to identify weaknesses and presumably (one would hope) work to address them. Looks like whatever mitigation measures they've tried aren't working too well though...

2013-11-29 - Mysterious explosions - four - alarm residents in and near coastal Stonington Connecticut:

http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Mysterious-Booms-Heard-in-Southeastern-Connecticut-233837611.html
http://www.courant.com/community/stonington/hc-stonington-booms-1130-20131129,0,3595199.story

Quote:"Stonington police said they received more than 100 calls from people across the town who reported hearing at least four loud 'booms'. They got their first call at 9:11 a.m., police said."

Quote:"Police have stopped actively investigating explosive sounds that shook homes in Old Mystic Friday after being unable to find the source of the booms."

Note: These mysterious explosions are very likely caused by atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane finding an ignition source and detonating. Eventually these explosions may rival those caused by small fission bombs, like the one that destroyed Hiroshima, but without the radiatation. Off the East Coast there are 2.5 gigatons of methane clathrates dissociating. If efficiently distributed (which thankfully won't happen), that's enough explosive force to wipe out the 1000 largest cities on the planet, just in that ONE deposit. New evacuation signs went up along the East Coast in 2012, very possibly as preparation for when the coast really starts burning and exploding hard-core...

2013-11-29 - RV bursts into flame at 4 AM while parked on Lower Rawson Street in Farnworth (Britain):
http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/10840476.UPDATED__Motor_home_destroyed_in_suspected_arson_attack/

Note: Interesting one here. They suspect arson because it was parked and someone also said they heard someone trying to start the engine. Actually, what they may have heard was the engine trying to start ITSELF, as has happened with a number of vehicular fires. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, so these 'electrical fires' may end up causing shorts and the vehicle starting itself. The most memorable such incident so far 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. The home where this RV fire occurred is located about 1000 feet from a lake and 2000 feet from the River Croal. 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...

Quote:"The Feng Yu Covered Bridge, in Chongqing, China, is known throughout the Far East for its traditional beauty topped by a pagoda-style roof that stretched 303 metres across the region's Apeng River. But last night the five-metre-wide crossing, first built in 1591, collapsed into the waters as the blaze turned it to ashes."

2013-11-30 - Woman's hair bursts into flame while she sleeps at home in Houston (Texas):
http://www.khou.com/news/local/HFD-Womans-hair-catches-fire-while-sleeping-in-north-Houston-home-233933781.html

Note: Her pillows/bedding may have absorbed hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and contaminated her hair, then ignited via static electricity as she rolled around as she slept. Could be it was simply her hair that got contaminated too, probably while outside. Lots of animals have been found burning in recent months, usually blamed on malevolent people, but without any witnesses or evidence of people being involved. Like clothes, animal fur may absorb either or both gases then ignite via static electricity, so I'm not at all convinced that the burning animals involve people, at least not all of them...

Quote:"The fire ignited as the bus was passing the city centre in Omsk, and the alert driver opened the doors and ordered all passengers out. He fled too - but the bus, engulfed in flames - kept moving along a busy street in the west Siberian city. At the top of an incline, the driverless vehicle gained speed as it careened downhill towards a lake, according to reports. By luck it missed several pedestrians before crashing into a fence where the runaway fireball bus crashed to a halt. 'It was like a scene out of a movie,' said a bystander."

Note: Football, so they were outside. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can cause 'flu-like' symptoms. This is not the first mysterious mass-sickening event in Las Vegas. In December 2011, more than 500 marathon runners also sickened during the Las Vegas Marathon and no cause was ever identified, but food and water were ruled out. What does that leave? The atmosphere. No viral cause makes sense because of the suddenness of large numbers of people sickening; if it were viral then you'd see some sicken first, then others, etc, over a period of time. These people may suffer long-term health problems, like kidney problems, neurological problems (brain damage), heart problems, respiratory problems and more...

This transformer weighs 340,000 pounds (170 tons), and it's journeyed 5500 miles from where it was manufactured, in Korea. You can't go to Home Depot and buy these things; they are hard to replace...

2013-12-02 - Noxious odor hits Fond du Lac (Wisconsin), some residents sicken:

http://www.fdlreporter.com/article/20131129/FON0101/311290191/What-s-smell-Mysterious-odor-fills-Fond-du-Lac-Friday
http://www.sott.net/article/269396-Outgassing-Mysterious-odor-fills-Fond-du-Lac-Wisconsin-on-Friday

Quote:"A bad odor that has settled in a large area of the city is making some people sick to their stomachs."

Quote:"...the odor seems to be all over the city. The odor has been described as 'rotten-egg sulfur.' The wind was out of the south-southwest, so the odor couldn’t be blamed on Kaukauna paper mills."

Note: They think maybe the smell is coming from an old landfill. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. This is hydrogen sulfide here, can't be anything else, and residents should be alarmed at the fact that they've got poison gas floating through their city, regardless of the source. On the plus side, the fact that they can smell it means it is lowish in concentration, so it just sickened people. When it's higher in concentration, you may not smell it at all, and then it might just kill everyone around. Fortunately, that didn't happen here...this time.

A man woke up to his leg on fire at home, also in Houston (Texas), as mentioned in the 2013-11-27 update. Those are just a couple of recent incidents involving people - or rather their clothes or bedding - bursting into flame. Clearly more people are going to burn to death in their homes as time goes on and the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane contamination problem intensifies...

http://fox2now.com/2013/12/03/st-louis-native-dies-in-plane-crash-in-puerto-rico/

Quote:"On Monday night, Steven and a co-pilot were flying a cargo plane from the Dominican Republic along Puerto Rico`s north coast when somehow the plane made a rapid decent and crashed, there were no survivors."

Note: There've been quite a few plane crashes where the plane nosedives into the ground. I suspect that in at least some of those cases, the pilot is falling unconscious or being struck dead, then he or she slumps over the wheel, which sends the plane into a steep dive...

2013-11-01 - Underground electrical explosion and fire hits Kingston (New York), near the Hudson River and the East Coast:

http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20131101/NEWS/131039934/-1/NEWS

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will seek out low-lying areas like underground electrical vaults, sewers, basements, underground car parks, ditches, ravines, valleys, canyons, ponds, streams, creeks, lakes, seas, quays, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. As a consequence, there have been a rising number of incidents just like this one, including some explosions/fires that have ignited vehicles parked on the street. Might wanna walk around manholes and grates and not park your vehicle(s) near them...

Note: Underground electrical fires and explosions have been steadily increasing in frequency as the atmospheric contamination proceeds. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, ditches, ravines, canyons, valleys, creeks, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, seas, etc. It is also a highly flammable gas and it is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities as well as wiring in vehicles and buildings...

2013-11-03 - Recyclers told to check fire precautions by Safety Management UK (Britain):

http://www.prw.com/subscriber/newscat2.html?cat=1&channel=320&id=3789

Quote:"The Environment Agency has already reissued guidance urging waste site operators to step up fire prevention measures following the series of fires at recycling and waste storage depots in recent months."

Quote:"The recent spate of large-scale incidents at recycling plants and sites across the UK has emphasized the need for all operations involved in this kind of work to urgently reassess their fire safety procedures and take a more proactive approach."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

2013-11-06 - Electrical explosion and fire takes one unit offline at nuclear plant in Shippingport (Pennsylvania):

http://www.post-gazette.com/local/2013/11/06/Minor-fire-closes-one-unit-at-Shippingport-nuclear-plant/stories/201311060153
http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20131106/NEWS90/131109752/-1/rss01

Quote:"A Beaver County nuclear power plant remains offline today as workers with FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co. check damage from an explosion and electrical wiring fire that broke out Tuesday evening."

Note: Much like all the 'electrical fires' hitting vehicles, but on a bigger scale, with greater effects. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. It's also a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas when the wind isn't blowing it on. All nuclear plants require water for cooling, meaning they are all near a low-lying area; that's why the water is there - water is also obviously heavier than air. This nuclear plant is right next to the Ohio River. The huge new multi-billion-dollar NSA complex in Utah can't function now because electrical units outside the facility keep mysteriously exploding and burning, as mentioned in the 2013-10-08 update. An underground electrical fire just hit coastal Manhattan (New York), as mentioned in the 2013-11-04 update.

It's not hard to extrapolate out with this problem. If we could stop the atmospheric contamination problem, we would have done it before it had gathered such momentum. Since we didn't stop the problem when it was weaker, we certainly can't stop it NOW. So it will get worse and worse and worse, like an invisible tidal wave of doom rising around us. Complete electrical grid collapse? The US government is training for just that, this month, GridEx II, as mentioned in the 2013-10-18 update. Sounds like some prudent training to me.

Quote:"Officials at Charlotte Secondary School have closed the school for the day due to an undetermined odor inside the school. Firefighters were called to the school Friday morning on the 8600 block of McAlpine Park Drive to investigate an odor, according to the Charlotte Fire Department. Investigators have not been able to determine what the cause of the odor is."

Note: Lots of 'strange odor' incidents and HazMat events the last couple of years. It may not be long now before entire schools full of kids start dropping dead. For now the deaths are mainly single individuals, people dropping dead in their homes, on streets, in cars, that sort of thing, but that won't last forever. Still, just the fact that you can now be gassed to death in your home or car should be of some concern to anyone who wants to, you know, REMAIN LIVING...

2013-11-14 - Hydrogen sulfide belching from landfill in Bridgeton (Missouri), residents alarmed:

http://www.kmov.com/news/just-posted/More-landfill-health-risks-concern-Bridgeton-residents-231992231.html

Quote:"The stinky smell is not the problem anymore in Bridgeton. Now, there’s concern the landfill is putting something else into the air that could pose a real danger to workers and residents nearby. It’s a chemical compound called hydrogen sulfide and according to the health department report, half the days in the last four weeks, air monitors have showed levels that exceeded 'health-based guidelines.' In high concentrations, it can kill a person."

Note: This is the landfill that has an underground fire burning toward an adjacent landfill that houses illegally-dumped nuclear waste from the Manhattan Project. This hydrogen sulfide problem here is a microcosm of the planetary extinction event that is now underway. The oceans are becoming more 'landfill-like' as waters around the world heat up. (All the sh#t and trash we've dumped into the oceans probably hasn't helped matters any either, though this problem would likely have occurred regardless, as it has numerous times in the past.) The heat is also releasing methane stored in methane clathrate deposits, and the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that emit hydrogen sulfide are eating that methane and turning it into hydrogen sulfide.

In June, 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 is wafting in from the ocean in Quincy (Massachusetts), as mentioned in the 2013-05-09 update. The Inner Harbor recently 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. Hydrogen sulfide has been detected in a number of areas along the coast in California, it was detected coming up from the ground near a school in Canada, it was detected in the ground in southern Florida, a woman was killed by hydrogen sulfide in her home in Kansas, and so on. This is the ancient planetary extinction event that has once again reared its ugly head and is now upon us...

Note: And the day prior, a 4-year-old girl burned to death when an RV burst into flame in the South Valley in Bernalillo County (New Mexico), plus two other people were found burned to death in or near burned-out vehicles, as mentioned in the 2013-11-15 update. 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."

Quote:"Crews were called to two underground transformer fires late Sunday..."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, ditches, ravines, canyons, valleys, creeks, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, seas, etc. It is also a highly flammable gas and it is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities as well as wiring in vehicles and buildings. Wonder why the gubment is training for grid failure? I don't...

http://news.silobreaker.com/dump-fire-smoke-affecting-mon-repos-residents-5_2267254691932930090

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. All four of the above incidents occurred on or near the coast in California. Because of the rotation of the Earth, winds tend to blow west-to-east, so California will tend to get hit by both methane and hydrogen sulfide emissions originating in the Pacific Ocean...

Quote:"There were initial reports that an electrical transformer fire had spread to the surrounding grass..."

Quote:"Oakland firefighters also responded to a two-alarm fire at 54th Avenue and International Boulevard Thursday night. The fire broke out at a vacant building that used to house a supermarket."

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. A big EMP or solar flare is not necessary to take out the electrical grid. A change in the atmosphere will do the job just fine...

Note: Obviously, once we run out of tractor trailers, food and gas will get pretty scarce at grocery stores and gas stations. I have no idea how many semi tractors are cranked out each day, but once they start getting destroyed faster than they're built (if that's not already the case), then running out of them becomes just a matter of time...

http://www.johnsoncitypress.com/article/112820/man-suffers-burns-when-pants-vehicle-catch-fire-at-east-tennessee-gas-station

Quote:"Battalion Chief Charles Patton said a 32-year-old man was pumping gas into his vehicle when a fire erupted, catching his pants on fire, as well as part of the vehicle. Eyewitnesses said the man initially panicked and ran. A couple of people grabbed portable fire extinguishers and extinguished the fire on the man and his vehicle."

Quote:"'I don't smoke, nor use my cell phones when pumping gas,' says Nikki May."

Note: This sounds VERY much like the work of the Ghostly Match. I specifically mentioned refueling: "Would you siphon gas or refuel your vehicle if there was a lit match right there? Of course not, but you won't SEE the match until it's struck." In other words, anytime you go to gas up, don't count on not catching fire, because you just might. Just ask Nikki May...

2013-12-03 - Massive mysterious explosion shakes homes and alarms residents in Carlsbad (New Mexico):

http://www.currentargus.com/carlsbad-news/ci_24648235/boom-carlsbad-still-mystery

Quote:"Robin Cathey, who was out of town during the incident, said that she has been hearing about the boom from friends and neighbors and feels the lack of information about what might have caused the booming sound and tremors is frightening. 'We just want to know what caused it,' Cathey said."

Note: These mysterious and powerful explosions - sometimes accompanied by a 'flash of light' - are almost certainly caused by large clouds of flammable methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere finding an ignition source and detonating. These explosions really began accelerating this year but started 2 or 3 years ago, right as methane emissions from the oceans began increasing and reports of 'rotten egg' smells and other HazMat incidents started to become more common. Eventually these explosions may rival those caused by small nuclear bombs, like the fission bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation. (Unless one of these explosions takes out a nuclear plant, many of which are on coasts and all of which are near low-lying bodies of water for cooling, in which case then we will get radiation too.)

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11167517

Note: They suspect the fire may have been caused by a candle, and sure, a candle could serve as an ignition source. What happens if a cloud of flammable methane and/or hydrogen sulfide blows over a tent containing a lit candle? You get a fire and probably an unconscious person who then just lays there and burns to death. Kinda like the young couple who burned to death in their vehicle near McFarland (Wisconsin) early this year, mentioned in the 2013-01-01 update, except that fire was probably ignited by hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with electrified copper (their vehicle wiring) instead of a candle...

http://enenews.com/alaska-28-of-polar-bears-with-skin-lesions-and-hair-loss-similar-to-seals-and-walrus-tested-for-thyroid-abnormalities-surprisingly-high-mortality-of-musk-ox-with-weak-immune-function-gees

Note: The hair loss could be from high UV levels as the ozone layer dissolves and the upper atmosphere fills with methane, making the Sun whiter, brighter and more intense. Whales and dolphins were showing lesions from UV poisoning in 2010, so that rules out Fukushima. Most people have by now noticed the changes in the appearance of the Sun. It's not a change in the Sun, but a change in the atmosphere through which we view the Sun. You may notice physiological changes in your own body because of this, such as a weakened immune system, sleep problems, memory problems; too much of that white Sun (too little of the old yellow Sun) interferes with the body's ability to produce melatonin, which affects the immune system and sleep and memory, among other things...

Quote:"Somewhere around 20 emergency units reported to the scene of a three-alarm fire that began at about 3:30 a.m. Friday.

Note: More underground fires breaking out. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and it is finding its way to low-lying areas. It's also highly flammable (much more flammable than natural gas or methane) and it is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and rusty iron/steel. We probably shouldn't be too attached to electricity or driving. (Says the guy using an electricity-powered computer. Heh.)

2013-12-09 - College student dies from hydrogen sulfide poisoning in tent at Port Meadow, 6 injured, in Oxford (Britain):
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2520318/Chemical-experts-called-following-unexplained-death-man-inside-tent.html
http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/yourtown/oxford/10863321.Latest__Man_found_dead_at_Port_Meadow_in_Oxford/

Quote:"Sara Lomax, who studied physics with Mr Kirkman at A-level, said she was almost certain he would not have committed suicide."

Quote:"Police are advising people to stay away from the popular beauty spot after the discovery by a member of the public at 12.25pm because of a strong odour of chemicals."

Quote:"Early indications are that the chemical involved in the death of the man is hydrogen sulphide..."

Note: The 'official' story is he brewed up some hydrogen sulfide himself. That's highly unlikely. It'd be easier and less risky and cheaper to use carbon monoxide if one's goal is suicide-by-gas. The death is 'unexplained'. This is a low-lying area where a heavier-than-air gas would tend to accumulate after it blows in off the ocean. I'm not surprised at the official story though; what else are they gonna say? The truth? Wouldn't count on that. If you die from hydrogen sulfide poisoning and there's no way to disguise what killed you, they'll say you did it yourself too, of that you can be sure. There have been many mysterious deaths in Britain (and Florida and California and Thailand and Australia and other coastal areas)...

Quote:"An Entergy spokesperson has confirmed reports of a Monday morning fire at Arkansas Nuclear One. Donna Gregory said Unit 2 is offline due to an early morning fire in a transformer."

Quote:"Bowling said the incident occurred at about 7:50 a.m. local time and there may have been an explosion in the transformer area as there were reports of people hearing something in the area at that time."

Quote:"Arkansas Nuclear One, located along the Arkansas River about 90 miles northwest of Little Rock, supplies 1,823 megawatts of power, which is the equivalent to about 30 percent of the total energy demand of Arkansas."

Note: There are two reactors here, so the one reactor that was taken offline normally supplies about 15% of the electrical power needs of the entire state of Arkansas...

2013-12-09 - Another supervolcano discovered, in Utah:
http://www.ksl.com/?sid=27969121&nid=148

Quote:"'As far as we know, the Wah Wah Springs eruption is the largest known explosive volcanic eruption,' said BYU professor of geology Eric Christiansen. The eruption and collapse of the super volcano released almost 6,000 square kilometers of magma. 'It moved over a flat landscape covering 12,000 square miles in western Utah and eastern Nevada. It would have been unimaginable devastation.' said Emeritus BYU geology professor Myron Best."

Quote:"Compared to Mt. St Helens — which is a different kind of volcano — Utah's super volcano was 5,000 times larger. Deposits left behind in southern Utah from the single eruption are 13,000 feet thick."

Note: Move over, Yellowstone, you're small fries in comparison...

2013-12-09 - Record year for volcanic eruptions in 2013:
http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/2013-marks-record-year-for-the-number-of-volcanoes-erupting-across-the-planet/

Note: Exactly as predicted back in 2010 with MISA Theory. It's the subsurface volcanoes that are the real danger, since they heat up the oceans and cause increasing amounts of hydrogen sulfide and methane to contaminate the atmosphere, which will poison, burn and explode the surface of the Earth. Volcanic winter might all by itself be pretty horrific as well though. ONE (really large) volcanic eruption 77,000 years ago killed off 99.9% of the human race via volcanic winter and starvation, and that was without a poisoned atmosphere, fires and explosions to contend with...

Note: And the day prior, a major blaze hit a recycling center in coastal San Francisco (California), as mentioned in the 2013-12-09 update. From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-12-10/delhi/45033439_1_roadside-parked-santro-woman

Quote:"Another investigator said that if the woman was burnt alive, she would have screamed for help; but since nobody heard any screams, it's probable she was first killed and then burnt."

Note: Not if hydrogen sulfide ignited her car and she started dying from poisoning, choking and unable to do more than gasp as she staggered out of the burning car, fell to the ground unconscious and burned to death. I'm guessing they haven't considered that possibility or, if they have, they sure don't want YOU to consider that possibility. Also, if someone had done this to her, they'd have left her body IN the vehicle, where it would burn better...
