America is On Fire: Is ANTIFA to Blame?
2020-09-13
[USSANews] There is much speculation about what’s causing the wildfires in the American West. According to CA Governor Gavin Newsom and his cronies in the Democrat Party, climate change is to blame. As Tucker Carlson points out in yet another epic monologue, the push to blame climate change, of course, is really a push to blame middle class white people. It’s your fault there are fires in the West, because you didn’t buy into the climate change narrative.

Others point out that the systemic management of forests and ending of preventive measures is a huge contributor to the carnage in the West. Wildfire experts — actual wildfire experts, not the Leftist "leave the forests alone" kind — have been trying to sound the alarm about how the wildlands are being torn apart by disease, insects, and overgrowth, leaving them vulnerable to the kind of super-hot, super destructive fires that are being seen this year.

Add in the dry conditions, hot temperatures, and a once-in-a-lifetime wind storm, and you have the perfect conditions for nearly literal hell on earth.

#6  Antifa has taken credit. I'm of the firm belief that any group that takes credit for vile acts should be treated as if they committed those vile acts.

#5  My wife the psychotherapist is treating a CalFire logistician for PTSD
The person said that most of the fires are arson with several springing up almost simultaneously in areas without power lines or thunderstorms with ground strikes
That coupled with the forestry geeks refusal to spray for the bark bettle and you have millions of acres of dead trees and thick under growth

Was just pondering this over morning' coffee. This many fires do not set themselves was my thought. In the word's of Gibbs, "yah think"?

But no worries, I'm sure FBI Wray will bury it somehow.

#2  Come-on. Antifa types love public limelight - if they did it, they would proudly advertise.

#1  This isn't "Mother Nature" or "climate change." Official sources in California say 87% of the fires were caused by humans.

Newsom's lying, as usual
