  1. Choppers tipping a bucket of water at a time.
    If we have large planes dumping chemtrails, surely we can use large aircraft to release water.
    If ‘poorer’ nations do it, why can’t we?

    • Pardon me, we do have large aircraft spraying purple/red ‘retardant’.
      Why not use sea water/water instead.
      Easy for me to say, sitting in a chair, when we have responsible knowledgeable people, also sitting on chairs, making decisions for those on the ground experiencing this scorched earth devastation. To all the BRAVE firefighters and people confronting these fires, infinite thankyous are not enough for your courage. To think most have done this without a wage.
      Since late August, these fires have been raging without rain.

      • I think Australia needs a nation on its knees to humble ourselves under Almighty God.
        Not being disrespectful to our brave fire-fighters who risk lives for others, as those who fight wars, not being presumptous, but I know that God answers our prayer.

        Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

        Be doers of the word and not hearers only; it starts with me.

        May God bless Australia. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to SAVE them. Luke 9:56 (KJV) God is on our side.

        • Disasters can bring out the best in a lot of people and open new horizons for others but the idea that God is some sort of magician is just a pernicious lie

        • Isus Krist, the way the truth and the life.
          Let’s remember how the three Persian kings were the first to acknowledge His Kingdom.

          • Ask schoolchildren these days, who came bearing gifts to the newborn King? Most will say Santa.
            Ask who is St.Nicholas? Many won’t know.
            Fifty years ago, goodness was passed on to children, and they knew.
            Today they have abominations at their fingertips and they know not.
            The further we drift, from His teachings, the darker it gets.

      • What is that red fire retardant. Said to be of low toxicity. Bromide, chemical ammonium nitrate, other proprietary ingredients. If history is any guide, it will enter the food chain and ground water causeing endocrine damage and cancer.
        The courts are very busy suppressing, names and details of the arsonists operations.MSM the trusty wingman. Except for the odd mishap, the home defenders do well, forced evacuation, not so much.

        • My thoughts exactly. Been asking this very same question for ages, just get a blank look from officials I ask. Apparently we’re not supposed to ask such dumb questions. Regards using sea water, that’s a definate No, No, Sea water dropped onto arable land sterilises it for ages and nothing will gorw there until the salt is eventually washed out. Given we are told rainfall is reducing, that would mean it’s take for ever to leach out. So NO, sea water, not a good idea.

          • As a last resort?
            Being a one-off application, well, the rains will come and wash the salinity away.
            The rain comes from oceans.
            Ideally, no seawater should be used, if we have water available it must be used always in preference.
            Canada has great planes for this purpose and they have the Great Lakes, lucky.

          • James Packer has donated 5 million. Another six, like him, will buy a plane that holds 6,000 litres. If it’s possible, why not?

          • actually .. they do use sea water… i guess it needs to be pretty calm in order to scoop it up.. but theres plent of pics online with the big tanker planes & helicopters filling up…
            as far as salinity goes.. .the only reason the sea is salty, is because it – the salt – washes into the sea from the land… into the sea.. then.. . well… it has nowhere else to go. ie; salt water.

            ive commented before.. that the 2011? inland tsunami in Qld..
            saved the murray river at the time .. because downstream of the vict border.. the bottom 2/3rds of the mighty murray.. was salt water..

  2. All I can say is that, if an emergency does happen to crop up in your area, the 1st thing you need to remember is not to rely on any sort of government “service”, as spelled out in the following letter:

    The Hon. Joe M. Francis MLA Minister for Emergency Services 6/1/16

    Dear Sir,
    During the morning of 2 Jan’16 we became aware of a bushfire that, according to the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, had started around 10 pm the previous night in a location situated 19 kilometres from where we live. Due to the strength, direction, and predicted duration of the prevailing wind we spent the rest of the day preparing to leave our property.

    This is an extract from a 2 Jan’16 Defes message issued at 5.57 pm:

    “The fire has broken containment lines on the north-western corner…………It is moving fast in an east-north-easterly direction…………. It is out of control and unpredictable. Flames are up to 10 metres high”

    According to the same site a follow-up should have been posted at 7pm:

    “For a bushfire the national warning system is: An Advice is issued at 11 am and 4 pm unless the situation changes. A Watch and Act is issued every two hours unless the situation changes. An Emergency Warning is issued every hour unless the situation changes. An All Clear is issued once when the threat has passed.”

    But there was no news until 10.50 pm and as there had been no rain and no significant change to the strength and direction of the wind said advice was, to say the least, odd:

    “The alert level for this fire has been downgraded due to favourable weather conditions overnight”.

    Said claim was coupled with a somewhat contradictory message:

    “A bushfire WATCH AND ACT remains for people in the eastern part of Two Peoples Bay……You need to leave or get ready to actively defend………The bushfire is moving slowly in a westerly direction within containment lines. It is contained but not under control.”

    Eleven hours went by before anything further was posted; According to telephone inquiries the delay was based on the quasi “downgrade” but the same contradictory message was re-posted:

    “The bushfire is moving slowly in a westerly direction within containment lines. It is contained but not under control”(3 Jan’16 9:45 am)

    Later In the same day it appeared yet again:
    “The bushfire is moving slowly in a westerly direction within containment lines.It is contained but not under control”.(3 Jan’16 2:38 pm)

    To date there has been no disclosure as to when the event was first reported or when an emergency crew was actually mobilised, however the misinformation remains more of a concern; The location was, and continues to be, reported as:

    “an area bounded by South Coast Highway to Hunton Road to Nanarup Road to Dempster Road”.

    Anyone who so much as glanced at a map would know that amounts to geographical nonsense

    Every “Alert” has also claimed that:

    “A number of roads are closed including Nanarup Road”.

    At the peak of the emergency a binocular-aided look from the eastern face of Mt. Mason proved that an area in the vicinity of Moyle Rd, Manypeaks was alight,but that it was a good 10 kilometres from the nearest point of Nanarup Rd.The references to “Hunton Rd” prove that none of the Alerts have, in fact, been based on anything more than Chinese whispers and that our telephone advice has been categorically ignored.

    • As it wouldn’t cost more than 10 grand to replace my abode I’d be more upset if I lost the fruit trees & vineyard. If you’re going to spend any more than that on a house the priority should be a proper emergency sprinkler system:

      • berry, absolutely spot on mate. I have seen arial shots of homes burnt to the ground and right next to them, is a dirty great spanking pool still chock full of water. DUH ??????
        It really beats me, why people choose to live in forested areas and despite having a pool, do not install a sprinkler system over their home. Crikey, even a rain water tank, (hopefully STEEL) can be utilised in such a situation, recycling the water back into the tank. Of course a stand alone diesel powered pump is a neccessity.

  3. Where are these jet/ airliners that are spraying chemicals into the air on virtually a year round basis? Don’t tell me it doesn’t happen, I have many photographs proving it does happen.

    If these planes need to be refurnished for this task, so be it, never to be used for chemtrails ever again.

    These aircraft should be used to dump water on the fire fronts. Brackish water and fresh water must be used, but not sea water. Trees and crops need to re-establish after the fire damage.

    Alternatively, the Federal Government should have at least one of these aircraft on the east coast and one on the west coast. In need they could be flown to each side of the continent. We have airliners set aside to fly politicians around so why not for an important task such as this.

  4. The article below is important ( an under 2 minute read so make the effort ) because it is a perspective that you’ll never hear in the controlled MSM – because it doesn’t fit in with the Global Warming alarmist narrative .

    I’m not saying I agree 100 % with what this bloke is saying , but a hell of a lot of it makes sense.

    Enjoy ….

    Put Foresters Back in the Forests
    By Viv Forbes

    There was a time when Australian foresters kept Australian forests safe and productive. They maintained access tracks bridges and fire breaks, undertook prescribed burning, cleared flammable litter from the forest floor, cut suckers, manned fire lookouts and maintained their own fire-fighting crews in decentralised districts.

    University-trained professional foresters were supported by tough experienced rangers who learned their job in the bush.

    Almost every advance in bushfire management in Australia, from the science of fire behaviour to aerial burning was thanks to our foresters. Into the 1980s they were regarded as international leaders.

    To pay for good forest management, sections of the forest were logged, allowing ground space and sunlight for the swift re-growth of new trees.

    And those fading die-hards still beating alarm drums about man-made global warming should be reassured — the use of hardwood and softwood timber in power poles, telephone poles, bridges, wharves, posts, sleepers, haysheds and houses provided long-term sequestration of the dreaded carbon.

    Moreover, growing trees extract CO2 more quickly than mature trees. Win, win, win.

    Then we entered the Green Era. Foresters and timber-getters were demonised by urban greens, their tame bureaucrats and academics, and their ABC mates. State forests were converted to National Parks and Wilderness Areas and John Howard created the hated Kyoto Protocol Forests on private land. Timber imports rose.

    Every locked-up, un-managed, un-burnt forest inevitably breeds disastrous wildfires. The combination of heavy fuel load, poor access for firefighters, drought, hot winds, arsonists and dry lightning has only one assured outcome — a bushfire tragedy for the forest and the neighbours. (Why are no greens chaining themselves to trees now?)

    This must change. No enquiries are needed. Anyone without green blinkers can see the evidence daily. So, cut the locks, open the tracks and remove the trash. Then call tenders from local people to use recreation, tourism, timber getting or hunting feral animals to fund proper care and maintenance of our forests. A well-managed forest can pay for its own management and also keep the community safe and happy.

    Control must be local. Local foresters and local fire wardens must call the shots on when/how to reduce flammable litter, weeds and suckers. Everyone should have the right (maybe the obligation), to fire proof their own properties and boundaries. There should be no more national parks — just local parks. And arson should be treated as terrorism.

    The state governments can provide weather forecasts, bushfire warnings, radar information, aerial support and TV performances.

    The Feds should return some of their tax receipts to help us to restore the forests we have lost, but otherwise they should keep out of the way.

    The urban greens have had their moment in the sun. They seized management of Australian forests from Australian foresters, and have had every opportunity over the last 25 years to apply their evergreen theories on bushfire management. The result is there for everyone to observe — total and tragic failure.

    Far too many bushfires start in National Parks. Few stay in the Parks.

    It’s time to get sensible forest policies and professional forest managers back on the job.

    Get rid of the Red Bull and the Green Fairies — bring back the White Knights.

    Regards,

    Viv Forbes,
    Executive Director, The Saltbush Club

  5. Meanwhile I have been learning more about ’international law’.

    US denies Iran’s FM Zarif visa to address Security Council in violation of UN treaty – reports

    https://www.rt.com/newsline/477610-zarif-denied-visa-un/

    From the UN website.

    “The UN has 4 main purposes
    • To keep peace throughout the world;
    • To develop friendly relations among nations;
    • To help nations work together to improve the lives of poor people, to conquer hunger, disease and illiteracy, and to encourage respect for each other’s rights and freedoms;
    • To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations to achieve these goals”.

    We have been fooled by this veil of words for so long!

    Meanwhile, I do like Caitlin Johnstone’s way with words (she has been covering Trump’s proxy declaration of war against us all very well over the last few days).

    “I love my job. Really, I do. But writing about US military agendas for a living often brings one into contact with such staggering stupidity that all you can do is pause and wonder how our species survived past the invention of the pointy stick.”

  6. James Packer just donated 5 million.
    If another six like him, contribute the same, they have a plane that holds 6,000 litres water.

    • really.. if the system was working as well as we are being told it is working.. there wouldnt/shouldnt be any need at all for any call for any donations..

      are our taxes only for effed up war planes and submarines? – theres no accountability…

      im not sure what sort of tv adverts others in other areas are subjected to.. but where i live, i am bombarded with adverts calling for donations for a dozen different topics every day.. including.. sponsoring an australian schoolchild that cant afford shoes….

      australia must be a 4th world country if we cant even educate our kids ,,,

          • If it was dinky-di wouldn’t it be focused on saving kids from the the school system itself? or the Family Court?
            If I had to choose between dealing with the latter and a raging inferno on my doorstep I certainly wouldn’t have to think twice

  7. A mate of mine got hired to do some water drops using a Bell 412 helicopter. I asked him a few questions and here is his edited answer.

    The belly tank/snorkel arrangement which I will be using works with either freshwater or saltwater – if there are no freshwater sources available. But given that the length of the snorkel means the hover fill height is only 10 feet AGL – you can imagine that the rotor wash would blow/suck salt-laden mist into every little nook and cranny in the entire helicopter when filling up with seawater – causing corrosion problems if it’s not washed out with freshwater soon after. So you only use saltwater on a fire if no other sources are available.

    One of the main advantages of the belly tank/snorkel over a fire bucket is that the speed in transit between fill and dump is a lot higher. You can only travel at max 80 knots with a bucket – but 120 knots with the belly tank.

    As you probably know, foam additive simply alters the surface tension of the water so that it covers the ground more thoroughly – cutting off the oxygen to the drop swath better than just water. Chemical retardant actually alters the chemistry of the fuel on the ground so that it is less flammable.

  8. What is there to say about blaming the Source of all life for the way in which human power & influence has been used or not used?

    The vast majority of offences self-evidently go to the latter, the fate of the respective evil-doers being spelled out in the parable of the talents( “And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” MATHEW 25:30)

  9. Max Igun with a new 26 minute video – ‘An Australian Holocaust’. He says it is time for Australians to rise up. Crikey, it was ‘time’ a LONG time ago!

    • Once more it’s very clear that the magnitude of the water-theft scandal cannot be overstated but it’s relevance to firestorms in a completely different region?

      And the evidence that nothing on the scale of the latter ever took place prior to the Brit invasion ?

      But I do love that “go tell the prime-minster to get f****d” bit (around 14:56)

      • I’d agree that the water-theft scandal is a separate issue to the drought East of the continental divide. Max seems to think that because the streams going dry in his area (near the ocean) are some how related to the Murray-Darling catchment (Bourke is a long way from the coast).

        There needs to be a genuine inquiry as to what precipitated this fire storm. I expect that much of it is related to forestry management issues. – Oh, and also ‘arson’.

        Apparently there have been some 187 arrests for arson already. When you take a look at the maps of the different fires, it does look like that the multiple fires in very different locations indicates that such a pattern would not be a natural event.

        I do find it suspicious that such a large amount of diverse fires coincides with the big push of ‘climate change’ hysteria.

          • Many of the arrests we are told are for culpable stupidity rather than actual calculated arson, but that said, the arsonists are many and out there and events like this draw them out. We do live in a time of universal deceit so provocateurs starting fires to further a political agenda is not as crazy an idea as it once might have been. There is an all-or-nothing approach built into the cult of Climate.

          • Paul, my thoughts exactly. I hope as these trials or pleas before the Courts go forward, that the reasons for the arsonists lighting the fires is revealed.

            As a former Barrister seeking instructions from my client for a plea of guilty, I would ask “why did you do it?” If their answer was to promote the urgency of doing something about ‘climate change’, then I would use that to try and mitigate the sentence. I would get a psychological report and tender it. I would reveal that reason to the Court (and hopefully the press would be there to record it).

            Sure it is crazy, but it does help explain their state of mind, that they were manipulated into hysteria about ‘climate change’. – An irrational agenda that is encouraging irrational responses (like the crazies of Extinction Rebellion).

          • The use of the situation as a “climate-change” promo is of itself, sufficiently damnable (just as using random massacres as a means of prohibiting self-defence for all but a select few is damnable): No need for proof of a false flag in either case

    • Free trade has destroyed everything.
      Corporations growing cotton here, shipping it to Bangla Desh to manufacture for global distribution. To realise that our skills have been replaced by people working for $2 a day or less.
      Now they bring them here to deliver pizzas on push bikes, teenagers living 10 per room in Oz suburbia.
      You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried. No one would believe it.
      But here we are ruled by satanists.

  10. Trump – ‘Take Iraqi oil’ compilation – in his own words:

    I wonder what else he discussed with morrison this morning.

    The contempt he shows for the sovereignty of the Iraqi people is beyond chutzpah.

  11. Here’s sharing Mike King’s commentary of the NY Times report, headed: Iran Strikes U.S. Forces at 2 Bases in Iraq, Saying ‘Fierce Revenge’ Has Begun.

    Mike writes and expands on the report stating:
    We are absolutely certain that the storming of the U.S. embassy in Iraq was a Deep State operation.

  12. Ukrainian passenger plane, 180 on board crashes no survivors. One hour after leaving Tehran.
    Mostly Iranian nationals. Two hours ago.

  13. I am having trouble watching this after the first five minutes.

    Syria – “civil war” (NOT!) …

    “Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins (Isiah 17: 1)”

    Oh well – so much for those 17+ million people – but there is hope – ((they)) could not get past Aleppo.

    All I can say is
    “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities (sic – or injustices)” – Voltaire

      • I did a fast forward through the video to see where it was going. At about 24 minutes comes the sales pitch. How to survive in America after the EMP. Buy his book and get another survival book FREE!

        Doom porn sells lots of things.

        • The concerning thing is that this stuff gets produced and if someone or some group believe in Isiah 17: 1 (“Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins”) then they will damn well try and make that happen.

    • IMO Trump is not a second King Cyrus. Confusion is the work of the enemy. Messianic Judaism under the Rabbis and Zionism is part of confusing the message why Jesus Christ came. The end of the OT concluded with prophesies of the coming of John the Baptist, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord (in judgment); Cyrus was OT history. Christians pls keep your eyes on Jesus and not Israel…this is a deception amongst christians. Texe Marrs Power of Prophecy is a good source.

    • 5 Minutes? You’re doing well(or not), I didn’t get further than 4: total waste of time
      (quite apart from which glitzy presentations s e r I o u s l y get up my nose )

      If you want to learn more about how the Bible applies to current affairs via U Tube I’d recommend Michael Pearl, Derek Prince and Art Katz.
      And there’s a host of other teachers who are just as good. None of them are perfect but they don’t present speculation as fact and they do have a lot to say that’s attention-worthy

        • Texe Marrs also seems to be caught up in finger-pointing/meditating on darkness
          A condition that is every bit as soul-destroying as naivete/wishful thinking

          • Texe Marrs ran a bible home church. He exposed the darkness and encouraged others to not be overtaken by it. He authored books that are even banned by Amazon because they contained facts; facts spoken/written and verified by the entities themselves under examination. Texe Marrs IMO was not afraid to tell it as it is. This is not IMO soul-destroying nor wishful thinking. Rather I appreciate all those who seek truth. IMHO Truth simplifies. Lies complicate.

          • I don’t see how anyone can call themselves “Christian” and adhere to any end-times/Israel doctrine other than what’s spelled out by the B.C. prophets,the Gospels, and the book of Revelation, all of which compliment each other. The above link doesn’t make a single reference thereto, which given the content is hardly surprising:

            “ For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
            And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” REVELATION 22: 18 – 19

  14. Skoolafish , it’s great that you mention Brendon O’Connell.

    Martin Bryant aside, few Australian citizens have been dealt with so harshly by the cabal in recent years than this man ( who now lives in Malaysia – where he broadcasts on his You Tube channel ).

    He is unable to return to Oz – lest he be locked up again on some trumped up bogus charge.

    Captured on this 10 minute video, is his verbal interchange with 2 Jewish activists at a supermarket ( Brendon was advocating for the BDS movement ) :

    Start from the 0:50 sec point.

    As you’ll see, there was no physical interaction , no death threats , no incitement to violence etc.

    Yet, somehow Brendon was found guilty of breaching Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act & was sentenced to 3 years in a W.A prison.

    While in prison, he was set upon by thugs ( on behalf of the cabal ) & beaten unconscious & had his arm broken.

    This beating occurred 11 years to the day after 9/11 ( no coincidence – seeing as Brendon had advocated publicly on behalf of 9/11 Truth ).

    As further intimidation to stop Brendon from publicising Israel’s crimes , Brendon’s sister was killed ( he alleges that the cabal did it ).

    Anyway, Brendon continues to fight the good fight from Malaysia ( in between multiple instances of having his You Tube channel taken down & other cyber interference ).

    Brendon was previously granted asylum in Iran , where he stayed before coming to Malaysia.

    Here is a video of him that features a snippet of his stay in Iran ( refer to the 15 second section from 9:55 – 10:10 ) :

    Yes GumShoe readers , you read right. That is Rachel Corrie St in the background ( an acknowledgement by the Iranian government of the Human Rights campaigner who the Israeli’s bulldozed & killed while she was protesting ).

    Apparently, Rachel Corrie St is the ONLY street on Earth that actually exists that you cannot locate ( I am told ) on Google Earth.

    Hmmm …. it seems the cabal wants to suppress the martyrdom of Rachel Corrie.

    • 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, yes Ozzies that is another piece of legislation put in place by the ‘usual suspects’. “I’m offended, and truth is not a defence”. It’s Australia’s ‘You can’t deny the Holocaust’ law. – I’m offended that such a BS law is on the books in Oz and even more offended that the judges bow to it.

    • What (Brendon O’Connell and his sympathisers don’t seem to have countered in is the upshot of the anti-Israeli fruit argument
      Namely that the same boycott would have to be applied to all farms established/food grown on Australian turf by the descendants of the Euro invaders .
      Which would mean total reliance on imports from Countries that don’t share our standards of quality, hygiene or ethics( the Chinese plastic-in-the-baby-milk scandal being a prime example )

      I really am seriously sick to death of seeing half-baked solutions being applied to highly complex issues

  15. Berry , let’s talk about the here & now.

    We can’t undo what was done in the past to our indigenous people’s & certainly outcomes for them in the present leave a lot to be desired.

    BUT, are you seriously claiming that atrocities & human rights violations being committed by the Apartheid Israeli state ( which are orders of magnitude worse than anything perpetrated in apartheid Sth Africa – Dee McLachlan , you can enlighten us all there ) , are crimes that we should just ignore for now ( or the next 20 or 30 years ) until such time as an ‘ Environmental Impact Study ‘ has been completed & spell checked ?

    Are you saying that supporting the BDS movement and / or enlightening the masses to Israeli’s genocidal policies are ‘ half – baked ‘ solutions ?

    Well, I have news for you. Just as surely as Boycott , Divestments & Sanctions brought down the apartheid Sth African regime , so too will a concerted BDS effort by the major economies of the world bring down the criminal Israeli state.

    Note: ‘ Criminal Israeli state ‘ does not refer to the vast bulk of the Jewish citizenry of that country who are going about their lives like the rest of us & are not guilty of anything .

    It refers to the rabid Likudnic Netanyahu aligned ruling elite.

    Once they’re brought down &, ideally prosecuted at the ICC for war crimes, Occupied Palestine can revert to being just Palestine ( ie: a ONE state solution ) where Arabs & Jews can live harmoniously as they did pre-Balfour Declaration.

    There is nothing half-baked about protesting against the crimes of the Israeli state - unless of course, one is an apologist for Israel & the IDF ( like yourself Mr Berry ) .

    • With respect, obsolescence was built into South Africa’s apartheid system, quite apart from which the current state of said Country is living proof that the internal problems were a good deal more convoluted than the MSM portrayal of the day.

      Trade embargoes have never been known to bring down any regime, in fact Russia’s current independence/strength is a direct consequence of restrictions imposed on the former USSR (the demise of which was also preordained.)

      But the most important point is that the only difference between the current Israeli regime and every other set-up on the planet is the level of efficiency (which prize was formerly held by Nazi Germany.)

  16. Again, I digress from the thread of conversation, but I wanted to share this report.
    “Wild Fires were Preventable.”
    A 50-year firefighting veteran speaks.

    Tuesday 31st December, 2019
    Copied from the 3.14 mark

    It’s all preventable.

    This fire has been building for the last 20 years.

    WEVE BEEN BURNING IN NSW LESS THAN 1% OF OUR Bushfire CROWN LAND FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS, that means every year the furl loads just continue to build.
    And they continue to build until we get a disaster like this.
    It doesn’t matter how many aeroplanes we have, how much man-power, how many trucks, we can’t put these fires out; they’re just beyond human capability to put out.

    Once upon a time a lot of our areas that are now national parks used to be forested country and the saw millers had a sustainable industry and they used to manage the bush.
    They used to do all the hazard reduction burning people tracks open, because they valued timber was important.
    Now we’ve closed the forest industry down virtually we’ve locked up the parks, we don’t let people into them, we’ve closed all the trails off, and our timber just gets burnt and wasted and meanwhile overseas they’re cutting down rainforest to supply Australia with timber. How crazy is that?

    To all the people who are buying in climate change if we could cool the world tomorrow, press a button, cool the world by 2degrees it would make virtually no difference to the outcome of these fires.
    What is making the difference is the fuel loads and just to give you an example of that if you compare the intensity of a fire in 15 year old fuel say compared to 4 year old fuels the intensity of the fire given the same conditions in the 15 year old fuels will be approx. 17 times hotter than what the fire would be in the 4 year old fuels.
    So that’s why we can’t control them.
    The rate we’re doing hazard reduction burning will take us more than 100 years to treat the bushland crown lands in this state once.

    I’m going to send these comments to my local State and my federal MP.

  17. Your comments are valid Berry. That said, one cannot make a comparison of the effect of trade embargoes between Israel & Russia.

    Russian territory is the world’s largest land mass. It’s agricultural & untapped resource potential is colossal. Coupled with a populace that excels in the S.T.E.M disciplines , this country wants for nothing.

    Compare that to the starved-for-water Israel – a large portion of which is the Negev desert.

    To the extent that oranges & other agricultural output is provided by this country , it’s done so by diverting from & depriving Palestinians of water – who are forced to make do with sub-human allocations .

    At the end of the day, my opinion & yours Berry are subjective & don't amount to a hill of beans.

    Our thoughts may or may not reflect the realities of the situation in relation to embargoes / BDS .

    However, one entity that has studied the matter in depth, is the Israeli government.

    And, do you think they’re worried by BDS ?

    NO, Israel is not worried about BDS in my opinion.

    ( To say they were ‘ worried ‘ would be understating their anxiety by a factor of a 100 or more ) .

    Israel is PANIC STRICKEN at the likelihood that BDS will spread & gather momentum.

    How do I know that ?

    They’ve pressured the Israel lobby in the U.S ( who are in maximum damage control mode ) to ban BDS in 26 states – with the intent to get all 50 states on board.

    As if that’s not enough, Rothschild puppet Boris Johnson is introducing a bill in the UK to criminalise BDS there.

    How long before all OECD countries including Australia submit to their Zio-masters & introduce anti-BDS legislation like the grovelling vassal states that they assuredly are ?

    Berry, the evidence is overwhelming.

    BDS , were it to expand to a critical threshold will ( as surely as night follows day ) , bring down the genocidal Likudnic Netanyahu aligned ruling elite of Israel – the rabid Zionists know it.

    Come on GumShoe readers , be on the right side of history & do your bit to support BDS :

    To paraphrase Victor Hugo ( & the great Ron Paul in recent times ) :

    ‘ No Government , indeed no Army , can stop an idea whose time has come ‘ .
