As hundreds of firefighters began to get the upper hand on a huge blaze near Colorado Springs, Colorado, investigators stepped up their probe into the cause of the most destructive wildfire in the state's history.

The 16,000-acre Black Forest Fire, which was 65% contained Sunday, is now considered a crime scene, according to El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa...

No explanation was given for the crime scene designation.

I hope they find the real cause. They must have reason to believe it was arson that they called in the Feds.

And just found this in the Washington Examiner!!!

Expert warns terrorists may be setting wildfires across American West

http://washingtonexaminer.com/expert-warns-terrorists-may-be-setting-wildfires/article/2531949

Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld of the New York-based American Center for Democracy’s Economic Warfare Institute warns that last July “al-Qaeda’s English-language online magazine, Inspire, published an article called ‘It Is of Your Freedom to Ignite a Firebomb,’ which featured instructions on how to build an incendiary bomb to light forests on fire.

“A few months later, Russia’s security (FSB) chief, Aleksandr Bortnikov warned, ‘al-Qaeda was complicit in recent forest fires in Europe’ as part of the terrorists’ ‘strategy of a thousand cuts.’ Bortnikov spoke of ‘extremist sites [that] contained detailed instructions of waging the forest jihad and stressed that such a method had proved itself effective as it inflicted both physical and moral damage, needed little training or investment and it was extremely hard for police to find and apprehend the arsonists.’

“Since then, more fatwas advocating that ‘Fire is cheap, easy and effective tool for economic warfare’ have been issued. They’ve included detailed instructions for constructing remote-controlled ‘ember bombs, and how to set fires without leaving a trace.’”

I thought the FEDS were only called in when they wanted to cover up for ‘who’ did it.

Chaos, Fear, and Financial Ruin.

Or was that the IRS ?

Was Janet Reno seen in the area before the fire?

We seem to be having an inordinate number of plant explosions across the land. Perhaps we are deeper into this Islamic War now.I fear we will be in this war a long time without officially recognizing it. That does not bode well for victory. The Moslem American Establishment and their hangers-on in Washington are happy with the situation as it is progressing. I think the kenyan dreams of a Grand Caliphate with himself as Caliph in probably New York.

Last year there were 18 arson fires in Colorado Springs before the big fire last year. The fire this year is more than suspicious. Authorities were asking if anyone had seen anything suspicious about a fire west of Loveland Colorado. Those pesky space Aliens are at it again!

That is usually the case. Consider the plant explosions that seem to be a regular part of page 8c news now. There is a news item that an explosion has occurred in a small or large factory warehouse here or there and the Feds are investigating, then nothing more is heard of it. This is, at least partly jihad as conducted by our own government. Moslems blow something up or burn it and the FBI et al cover it up.

Of course there wasn't because hussein has told us he took care of al qaeda.
