The Maui Fires (Saturbray)

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8 (King James Version)

The Maui fires proves once again what happens when you have a Communist dictatorship in charge of your forests. This happened just like in Oregon from the mismanagement of the forests by a bunch of no cut radicals who are actually killing the forests in the name of saving it. This island used to be managed properly by the pineapple growers and other farmers who were regulated off the island for so called environmental concerns which then the habitat became overgrown making a fire hazard waiting for a spark to create an inferno.

The terror and devastation of being on a small island must have been horrific as you had tiny roads with nowhere to escape as the flames cut off any path to safety. Unless you had an escape to the ocean there would be nowhere to hide, and the near hundred-mile winds would feed the fires while speeding them as well as sending sparks in front of you making any escape a hard plan to move forward while fires overcame them and over a hundred were burned to death thanks to the complete mismanagement of their land.

Oregon is the perfect example of the earth’s worship destroying the environment. Oregon is the outback of America. There are over 200,000 square miles in the state with only four million people and about 100,000 square miles of forests. The forests would cover a state of Ohio completely with very few roads for the people on the East side of the country. This is the massiveness of one of the largest forests on the planet and certainly one of the most valuable ones for housing.

Until 1965 the Oregon forests provided jobs for over a million people while timber receipts paid the entire bill for education for both K-12 and colleges. The workers never had to pay the massive expenses for those two institutions while the state stood at the top of nation in education back when they did educate the children rather than indoctrinate them into their Marxist Centralized Utopia.

The Marxist prior to the sixties found they could use fake science to promote their agenda of destroying Capitalism by using the endangered species act to eliminate certain industries the same as they are today. They first used it by instituting Darwinism in the classroom and eliminating God as the Creator. They used the term science to bludgeon God as the Creator of the eart and nature opening the door to massive abuse of the scientific theory which investigates God’s Creation rather than an effort to prove there is no God. Since then, very little has progressed in understanding life or nature’s miracles.

Once science took over for God and became an all-powerful being it then became populated by radical political activists whose primary goal was to stop America and capitalism from existing. The first industry they went after was tobacco making claims of massive cancer causing and declaring secondhand smoke a killer when their numbers were miniscule at best and closed down a worldwide industry without any real proof whether it did or did not. Many smokers lived long and industrious lives and others like my father died early of emphysema which likely came from the cigarettes, but with science’s track record it was most likely exaggerated to promote their agenda.

After that victory they repeated it over and over again destroying industries they considered strategic to the advancement of America such as the car, nuclear energy, forestry, fishing, cattle, and on and on. In 1965 they went after the lumber industry and declared the Spotted Owl an endangered species. The activist scientist manipulated the population numbers and locations to declare a minor species endangered by the lumber industry when in reality was being killed by Horned Owls who are very aggressive and territorial as they migrated from the upper Midwest.

The scientist knew this yet reported the lumber industry was killing the cute little owl and the hug the trees campaign began. The mediots and radical activist groups like Greenpeace pushed and agenda to shut down the evil loggers and shut down a multi-billion-dollar industry and making the once thriving rural areas of Oregon, California, and Washington into ghost towns as the jobs moved to the Southeast.

This has been repeated time and again over industry after industry and now their shining kill shot with Global Warming. They cannot say Global Warming since there is very little proof of it, so the High Priests of their religion changed the name to Climate Change which sounds a lot like Weather, but everyone has been brainwashed to know it means GW.

They use this as a catchall to force businesses to close since they cannot possibly stand up to all the regulations and taxation attached to Global Warming. The Spotted Owl was their first bludgeon to destroy the lumber industry driving up housing prices radically especially in the West and destroying the forests.

Without the thinning and harvesting of older weaker trees as well as thinning and spacing of young trees the forests choke themselves out and die. Now there are huge swaths of dead timber and dying aggressive trees such as lodgepole pine making for wood piles waiting to burn and burn they do.

Just like Maui massive fires over 500 sq miles strong roar through the forests killing everything in its path. They burn like blast furnaces sterilizing the ground, so nothing grows in it for decades as the fragile forest ground is scorched of its nutrients. Massive tons of pollutants of all kinds are poured into the air as people are forced to breathe carcinogens for weeks if not months at a time. All in the name of saving Mother Earth and making Starbuck moms get a Virtue Tingle.

This is what was done to Maui and why over a hundred people are dead this morning. Rather than address the lack of forest management the Communists will cry Global Warming and make the bad environment worse rather than solving it with aggressive forest stewardship and put an end to these deadly blazes.

Pray for Revival.

per the research you suggested on the internet first thing I pulled up about the fire.

In Hawaii over the past three decades, many sugar plantations, pineapple farms and ranches shuttered. Flammable grasses grew densely in the untended land”

The fire was grasses not forest, pineapples and sugarcane are not trees. You were just making all of this up. LOL

Uh, no. There’s quite a bit of research on post-fire ecology regarding vegetation recovery. Decades? Come on, man.

“Why don’t you do your own research?”

Okay Bray, here you go. It was a grass fire not a forest fire. Your entire article is BS

Left unchecked, Maui’s nonnative grasses turned into wildfire fuel. Wildfire experts in Hawaii warned for years that overgrown grasses put communities like Lahaina at extreme risk for wildfire destruction.

You say there are no forests on Maui. Not interested in your foolish food fight. Do some research on forest fires.

You lie Bray. Just like the article you write. I never said there were no forest in Maui.

I said they were not the cause of the fire, there are a couple of National Forest there. You are really not too bright and your capacity for not telling the truth is strong.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; 1 Peter 2:9 KJV

Once again they have turned out the lights in California thanks to thirty years of Communist rules. Right after they passed the largest Tax scam based on Global Warming, they have more wildfires lit by the homeless and turn off the homes. This manmade disaster is looking more and more like North Korea every night.

Their complete mismanagement of the forest and energy industries have led to deadly fires and blackouts which are going to become more frequent and massive throughout the West until this crisis is taken seriously. Blaming Global Warming is smoke and mirrors hiding the real cause. What do you do when they turn off your power for a few days or a few weeks? What do you do for food when your heat and refrigeration is turned off as well as your lights and heat? You have a disaster which should have been avoided but the anti-business Marxists wanted to worship the trees rather than manage the resources.

Calenzeuela has had the Santa Ana winds blow ever year which brings lots of dry energy to feed any potential fires and spread those fires as the cinders fly in the air traveling as high as seventy miles per hour jumping fire lines. They are especially dangerous after a wet spring as this was the wettest and coldest year in decades despite models claiming there would be no snow after 2016 by the GW scientists.

When you have a wet year and record snows it grows the grass in the deserts which then dry out and the slightest spark causes massive grass fires leading right to the homes. Many of these fires were arson or homeless camps and now PP&E has turned off the power, so they don’t get sued again like they did in the Paradise fire which they were scapegoats for an out of control Democrat Party mismanaging the forests.

Forty Five percent of the state is controlled by the Federal Government which has not let the forest industry properly manage those trees for forty years. This has led to overpopulation of the trees which are all fighting for precious water and nourishment choking each other out and dying. These dead trees fall over or are dead standing waiting for a spark to cause raging fires. When you mix the cold wet weather, they had last year with record snowfalls they enjoyed over the last two years you have lots of grass and other igniters to make it a deadly fire waiting to happen.

For Gov Newsome to blame this on Global Warming is nothing more than a deflection from his Party’s massive incompetence. While they were virtue signaling in the legislature making the forests off limits to the forestry industry the forests were dying at an alarming rate. They have passed law after law making it impossible to take out the dead and dying trees for fear a chainsaw may kill one of them. There are around a trillion and a half trees in CA and they get all giddy if the politicians plant one or two. They get their worship high as if they are saving the planet while thousands are dying due to their worship. There are over a hundred million dead trees in the forests of CA which is by far the most in its histoir.

Califonicus has been a desert climate for only about since the dawn of time and now they are surprised it is dry most of the time? The other piece of the storm has been their complete mismanagement of the water supply due to their earth worship. The snail darter has taken out vast areas of farmlands when these lands held the water and nourished the land. They tore down dams which stored water in the name of environmentalism and now they have huge fires spewing CO2 by the tens of thousands of tons. An average fire puts out more pollutant than all the cars in CA does in a year, outlaw that Newsomesameastheoldsome.

The final piece of the storm is the complete destruction of their energy supply. They have not updated or allowed PP&G to maintain their power grid in forty years. They have of course torn down all their dams and no new nuclear or gas power while ignoring the power lines in favor of windmills. Don Quixote has nothing on Jerry Brown and company when it comes to windmills. They planted thousands on the hills next to San Fran and are now a windmill ghost town. Standing there as a symbol of “Smart” Energy versus practical.

These same really Smart people are now sitting in the dark telling their voters to just sit and wait while they vilify the power companies when they made the impossible rules power companies had to live by. The final rule was not allowing PP&G to cut trees under their power lines. They have had to divert so much money to so called renewable energy like solar which is over ten times more expensive and complex than practical sources that even if they could clear the trees, they do not have the resources to do the work. Thanks to smart energy we have old decaying transmission lines that leak energy and start fires.

This entire crisis is caused by the Sierra Club and their allies in the media and DNC. Some of the secular RNC has fallen for the worshipping of the creation, but a lion’s share has been the Communist Party. They have used this worship and religion as a tool to make people vote for them in the hopes of saving the globe when they have been destroying it. This is the biggest manmade crisis in America as we are seeing entire cities shut down from something that is easily solved if the cult was minimized.

The way to solve this is to become stewards of our resources rather than worshipers of them. Stop worshipping the creation and go back to worshipping the God who created it. To worship him you maintain his creation and manage it properly. To do that you need a perfect storm to counter this storm.

Sell the forest lands to the people and then maintain them properly like every state in the East. Take out the trees which need to be removed and grow the ones that are left to be grown and cut in a sustainable pattern. The average tree only grows healthy for twenty to forty years before it begins slowing down and moving towards death, so you cut it and plant a dozen in its place and in twenty years you have another young healthy forest with vibrant wildlife. Add thousands of square miles of unused land you can plant new forests and have the strongest healthiest forests in the world as well as resorts and Shang-ra-las the world has never seen. Rather we have fires and power outages from corrupt politicians milking the Global Warming scam to gullible worshipers.

How appropriate the leading edge of the Global Warming religion are all sitting in the dark wondering where their next meal is coming from or how they going to prepare it. They have no restaurants or stores to buy it from or go to and if they have a really smart electric car, no way to get there but walk. Their jobs are shut down as are the schools and childcare and every other convenience imaginable whenever the wind is blowing more than 30 mph. This is what their religion has brought them and if they stay on this path it will get worse.

While they are sitting in the dark with no way to charge their phones or watch TV, perhaps they can look at a new faith and a new religion that has been around since Adam and Eve. One way which wisely says to not worship the tree but be stewards of it. One which says those forests need man’s covering and care to make them healthy and vibrant. Trees can be thinned and harvested to make the forests healthier with fewer trees in a wider area for good health. With todays biology these forests will last forever if they were sold to people willing to work them and be good managers. The same people who have a problem cutting trees are watching millions killed in fires.

The people of Paradise CA lost their homes and now they have lost their right to uninterrupted power due to the mismanagement of the Federal forests. This crisis could have been avoided but the Sierra Club and politicians in San Fran and DC decided they wanted to turn these trees into idols and now we are all sacrificing either a little or those in the dark, a lot. It is time to choose.

Pray for wisdom

You have overstepped the truth and no longer a viable source for information or thought.
Good luck with your quest and agenda. God bless you.

Keep your head in the sand. Just because you are ignorant does not make you right.
