Looking at the fires in California and Oregon

 

What is behind the fires on 

the US West Coast?

First for a recent mainstream look at the catastrophe

Most of you who frequent this blog will know that I am not a climate change denier. In fact, I think that the situation is a lot more serious and fast moving than anyone is willing to admit (and that includes many in the NTHE movement.

However, much of my battle these days is against reductionism and mechanistic thinking where it manifests from the covid-19 Pandemic, to manufactured race riots and to climate change.

There is no single, simple explanation for anything these days; in fact there never has been but never have we seen a time when this approach did more harm.

I would rather look at ALL the information and try to make sense of it (even when it appears not to) and remain uncertain rather than jump to hasty conclusions that usually involve rejecting one side of an argument, often with very spurious and ill though-out "explanations"in the style of social media.

So it is here.

Those parts of the media that are not just blaming this on a weather pattern (this time, la-Nina) are jumping to say this is all down to climate change.

For example, the New York Times.

Officials have worried about cascading disasters. They just did not think they would start so soon.

“We used to worry about one natural hazard at a time,” said Alice Hill, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who oversaw resilience planning on the National Security Council during the Obama administration. “The acceleration of climate impacts has happened faster than even we anticipated.”

The LA Times says we just have to get used to fires. They are the "new normal" - at least until the writers of this editorial lose their own homes or the lives of loved ones.

Starting yesterday, there were reports of arson attacks, of Antifa setting light to fires, often close to the roads.

By this morning the first official denials came in.

This is a good illustration of the sort of comments from the Left, which is very like their reaction to 100 days of arson and looting by Antifa and BLM.

The amusing thing now, is that after screaming "defund the police!" they are now quoting police and FBI as sources to be believed.

Let's have a look at the various possible factors (other than anthropogenic climate change, which I accept as a given) and the evidence,

Geoengineering

The big (herd of) elephants in the room is geoengineering and the desiccation of the environment through the spraying of toxic nanoparticulates such as aluminium, barium and strontium as well as manufactured droughts that keeps the moisture away from those areas that need it.

Dane Wigington of Geoengineering Watch provides here a very good illustration of what is happening to the forests where he lives, near Redding, California (just 90 miles away from Oroville, where the have been major fires.

Put simply the forests are desiccated and dying, and Dane explains why.

Into The Wild, With Dane Wigington, September 10, 2020

This is the first question.

Why are the fires respecting the US-Canada border?

This is what climate change denier, Hal Turner says:

For weeks, Americans have watched the news of so-called "Wildfires" in western states. Politicians like California GOvernor Gavin Newsome, have told citizens these fires are "proof of climate change." That nonsense is laid to rest by a remarkable coincidence: All the "wildfires" cease at the Canada border!

HMMMMMM. The fires all seem to end at the Canada Border. Gee, how can THAT be? Is Canada fireproof? Are their fire fighters somehow better than ours?

Or are we in the USA seeing the willful acts of people/entities waging actual arson war upon us?

The answer seems clear: We are under attack

Right-winger (and whatever descriptors you like to use) he may be, but the question remains - why would massive fires respect a border unless it has huge firebreaks along its length.

Directed energy weapons

Every one has their pet theories and one is of course, Directed Energy Weapons (DEW).

This video is from a few weeks ago.

Here's another

Have Antifa been lighting fires?

“Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.”

Officials rushed in quickly to deny arson and especially arson by Antifa anarchists and the Left liberals are quick to join the chorus.

But, is it "right-wing" to suggest this might be true - or is a willingness to look at the evidence?

First see this from Scarsdale Antifa.

Now, I can't check because their account has been suspended by Twitter.

Here are various videos and articles pointing in the direction of arson by someone, if not by Antifa.

This is testimony from a dentist from Portland.

This looks at some of the evidence from a trooper on the ground.

This is what Ritchie from Boston has to say on the matter.

And this is a compilation from the Outer Light.

And media on the arsonist, Jeffrey Acord

Tacoma WA Wildfire Arsonist Live Streams His Arrest Jeffrey Alan Accord

Facebook User Jeff Demologik Acord appears to start a live stream after "coming upon" a fire. He was arrested for starting the fire. He has BLM and ANTIFA support protest live streams on his facebook.

 

On Wednesday evening a Washington man named Jeffrey Acord called 911 to report a fire on the side of SR-167 near Pallyup, Washington.

After calling the police, Mr. Acord then set to live streaming himself to his Facebook Page. The video was later posted to YouTube. During the video you can see the police question Acord and after a period of time, the video ends as they arrest him for Reckless Burning 2nd Degree.

Jeff Acord was seen with a lighter in his hand walking on the highway earlier in the day in Sumner. According to Q13FOX — The Sumner Grade Fire in Sumner and Bonney Lake has burned more than 800 acres and was 20 percent contained as of Thursday morning.

He was later arrested for setting the fire.
He was live-streaming on Facebook when he was arrested!

FOUR people have now been arrested on the West Coast for deliberately starting blazes as wildfires rage.

Cops detained two men in Washington, man in Oregon and woman in California as the desperate battle to contain the fires continues.

Here are some other testimonies. Because of the disruption to people's lives by 100 days of mayhem and now this I would not be surprised if some of these people were not Trump supporters.

Who would vote for anarchy?

This was sent to me by a friend and is from Reddit.

To those unaware Oregon is on fire. 10% of the population evacuated. FBI and police say arson is JUST rumors. How about these10 cases of arson? Why is the arson being ignored? 10 cases in a week is insane.... links below..

I am not one to rush to immediate judgement or to accept just one single argument. I am willing to accept there might be elements of all these things and in the context of what seems to be a kind of civil war in America, nothing surprises me any more.

This may be as much part of a developing civil war between two sides that hate each other as it is an act of Nature.

Make up your own mind.
