Sal discusses using sea water on the SoCal fires, which I previously mentioned…

If frogs go zone 404 they will have leapt from the Chadian pan into the Ruskie fire. Not that I’d rule out such a pathway into the maw of the giant Red trash compactor. Ruski make welcome as for the little fella Napoleon whatsis… 😉

Ray mentions the documents on mind-control & dope use by cia since 1950… Hey? Did you feel that 😉 

Dope R US? Yewbetcha! Germs too! What’s that smell?

We may remember that George Washington was a surveyor as well as a destroyer of (Indian) towns…which is to say a speculator in realestate , and slaves. Very typical, destroy the owners and steal or invent title, survey, subdivide, shill up the “value” and sell. Then move on… And that the buffalo were exterminated to force the Indians to vacate, and the railroads were “granted” vast (stolen) lands, which were then exploited in land speculation. And recall that the industrial growth, the steel and machines, were based on exploitation of both the looted lands and the immigrant peoples…it’s been largely a racket from the Mayflower on…which then may be seen to dovetail to the land grabs the Orange fella, himself a realestate “speculator”, proposes. Now then, I object to the term “ponzi racket”, as Ponzi copied it from another. see> (the ostensibly fictional) The Financier : Theodore Dreiser : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive   https://archive.org/details/financier_1109_librivox

Dreiser used to be in the canon…alas, gone like the breeze. His Financier may be artfully fictional, but I assure you it’s accurate so far as I know.

On the river I knew an arson investigator fella who used to say that about half of the fires were arson. He may have been right. In this case I note factors of evident lack of preparation, scale is overwhelming, and dry winds…quite possibly also arson in more than one place (I have witnessed an arson being set by teenaged kids, once), and the generally less prosperous population with increased density. The fires we see in SoCal seem to me normal seasonal periodic fires…in those hills, where I have hiked trails, the brush is such that it’s easier to crawl under than walk, and they’re bone dry, and very steep & rugged. I lived in Coral Canyon in 1970, I saved one of 12 puppies, and my motorcycle (in a fresh-ploughed field) – and then joined an old fella saving his already ablaze house. The County fire department truck and its crew loaned us, unwillingly, a 1 1/4″ hose and we had hydrant pressure. They simply watched us. We were a little upset about that. Once a fire-storm get’s going the fire leapfrogs miles ahead, you can get in a real jam with fire in front and in back. At school we had a student volunteer fire brigade, tanker built on a Studebaker buss frame with a packard V8, and an auxiliary pumper-trailer. I was an engineer assigned to the auxiliary pumper. We had fire drills with real fires and also smoke flares. At night! Anyway, I had a little experience, and that helped at Malibu. imho the County was unprepared, they could have done far better. Remarking that lack of hydrant water is an indication of unprepared condition. Further, near the sea there could be seawater pumps, as in ‘Frisco, that can feed the hydrants. These do not exist. SoCal is essentially a nest of rackets, and has been since the Europeans came. The big fellas are already calculating their realestate swindles…bet on it.

SoCal fires… Her mayorship is silent…Sky News on X: “‘Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent whilst their homes were burning?

an irregular volunteer, I fought the Malibu fire in 1970…even the ice plants at the beach burned…one may cope, save a structure here and there…but that’s about it. Generally the old structure are old because previous fires have skipped over them, and these tend to be skipped again. This one’s worse.

Remarking that the Orange fella is doing what retreat of empire does… admit failure and try to re-group. I doubt he’ll have complete success, his “base support” seems shaky to me…they wanted the Constitution back, especially the Bill of Rights…instead they get dilution and ukase. He may get the turf, and lose his base.
