The stories of both the Japanes high altitude balloon attempts and their large, aircraft-carrying submarines that made some inconsequential attacks, both make very interesting reading.

I believe that there is a strong possiblility that the fires we are seeing in Southern California...with so many of them cropping up all at once, despite the Sanata Annas and heat wave (which I have personally experienced down there) are very suspicious.

I would not put it past the enemies of this nation to have been the cause...and I am speaking of both the domestic, hard left, useful idiot enemies, as well as the Islamic terrorist enemies. In my mind, during this time of war, they are very much one and the same. They spout the same reason and purpose behind their action and in their public pronouncements support one another.

“so many [fires] cropping up all at once, despite the Santa Anas and heat wave... are very suspicious.”

Actually, aside from the predictible percentage of arson, the primary causes are: a very rainy season last year which caused major growth of underbrush, a severe drought this year, lots more people pushing out into the brush country since the last big one, and unusually long and severe Santa Ana winds of 70 to 100 miles per hour lasting for several days rather than only one day.
