Is Antifa Setting the West Coast Fires?

Some. Yes

Some are lightning strikes igniting uncleared dead underbrush

I’m seeing a report on FB of protesters blocking fire fighting efforts.

If true, those people need to be Rachel Corrie’d by the Fire Trucks.

The wind blowing out of Montana and over the Bitterroot Mountains into North Idaho on Monday was fierce. It took down two big pine trees on our neighbor's property and then fell toward our house. Trees are down all over the place. A huge pine came down on the Pro Shop at our country club. The waves on Hayden Lake were up to five feet high and smashed a LOT of docks and broke many loose.

It is amazing that the winds snap trees off 10 to 50 feet above the ground. The winds were so bad we got in the car and drove to places without trees, staying away for a few hours. Our power was out for about 12 hours and there were a couple hundred outages in our area.

When winds are that high, power lines "gallop" and touch, causing sparks which set fires. There are a LOT of fires all over Washington and Idaho states from the wind storm. There's a big one in Blanchard about 22 miles from us right now.

Wasn't the whole eastern Oregon wildlife refuge takeover fiasco where fed’s deliberately killed a man because of a controlled burn that accidentally got out of hand and the feds charging domestic terrorism because of it?

[RedStateRocker]

Idiotic and paranoid on the face of it. Hot, dry, and *plenty* of causes both natural and accidental.

Let’s not forget that the Japanese used balloons to attempt setting wildfires on the west coast during WWII.

And a few weeks ago we read about messycan cartels using drones loaded with explosives to attack rival gangs.

Molalla, Oregon, a small town about 30 miles outside Portland, is in stage 3 evacuation too. It honestly seems extremely suspect to me at this point... This is all a little too much, all simultaneously. Many east-west routes are closed. Something seems “off”

Would not surprise me in the least.

If you google "antifa fires," it brings up left-wing articles saying that the rumors are false about Antifa starting the fires and that Antifa is innocent. How would they know?!

The search results all have this same spin. There are no results supporting the "false rumors." This looks like a media cover-up.
