Obama Not Fighting Forest Fires.. No $.. Because Of Causing Fires Elsewhere

Summon Rain | 22.08.2013 14:59 | Animal Liberation | Climate Chaos | Ecology | London | World

Bush 1, Bush 2, and Obama have let the Western US burn with insufficient firefighting.







Obama is not fighting forest fires raging in the West because there is no
money and his administration does not think it important to borrow money to put out fires.
The US tax money has gone to start fires elsewhere in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, etc.
with drones and bombs and missiles owned by privateer profiteers. Individual state firefighting planes have been requisitioned for Afghanistan. Where firefighting occurs
poisonous flame retardant chemicals are often dropped rather than water. Larger capactiy arger water carrier planes have not purchased because they are manufactured elsewhere.
Both the Dept. of Interior and the US Dept of Agriculture have actually started fires with
'controlled' burns which the wind multiplied. 1.2 billion has been spent, a paltry sum in relation to the problem.

Why is the West burning?

1. It is dominated by cattle, sheep, and bison rancher money and their power with the Senate, House, executive, judicial branches of government and
federal agencies. These innocent mammals eat or crush sapling trees as they graze, trees
essential through evaporation of an average 42 gallons of moisture daily, for the rain cycle of
the planet.

2. It is possible that those whose countries have been set afire by Bush 1, Bush 2 and Obama create revenge arson in which innocents suffer.

And so hundreds or thousands of firefighters and in the last few years billions of deer, bears, moose, wolves, coyotes, birds of many species, frogs, snakes, fishes, various kinds of butterflies and bees, are burning to death or are horribly burned. The streams in which the fish swim suffocate them from mudslides and ash.

"Nothing new. Will always be forest fires"

Why dont the Amerikans have city fires where trillions of dollars of damage gets done?

That would be much better.

Not only would it be good for TV News ratings but the economoy would do well because of all the building work that would need to be done afterward. There would be a sudden explosion in the charcoal market and think of all the book sales and movie rights. Bands all over Christendoom would record songs about it, some would be soft, slow and a bit piano'e and others would be all electric guitar and bangy drums.

If you were really serious about Capitalism Barack Obarmy and the Pentagon Generals, you would order that America be burned down today.

But no, instead your all like protective, save the day and must continue on forever, even though you all hate each others guts.

Amerikans are crap at Capitalism.
