A Word On That 'Burning Ring Of Fire' Beloved Of DEW Conspiracy Theorists
Was it a freak of nature or the unmistakable signature of a beam of energy being directed from earth orbit? Neither I suggest. Wild grass fires form all sorts of geometrical shapes and patterns and it is entirely possible that grass could burn in a near perfect geometric oval or circle, especially if a burning ember falls on an area of dry grass and the fire burns outwards, quickly, in all directions from that central point. There’s nothing mysterious about this. What’s mysterious is how people will leap to extremely implausible and outlandish explanations for essentially mundane observations. Here’s a photo of a ring of fire taken randomly from stock photos of grassfires online.
Amazing! This ‘directed energy weapon’ left the tree in the centre totally untouched.
Here’s another pretty picture which shows how dry grass burns along a narrow front.
Which is exactly what is happening in this widely shared film of the Lahaina grass fires, except that we also have the ‘amazing spectacle’ of a near perfect ring.
This is pretty typical commentary on that burning ring:
This is a screenshot from what is purported to be, and does indeed seem to be, a video of the incineration of Lahaina on Maui. Notice anything strange about it? That perfect ring of fire?
You can watch the video and other "Things That Make you Go Hmm About the Maui Fires," including boats in flames as they float in the water, here.
Could we possibly be looking at a freak of nature? Doesn't seem too likely. To be sure, we are continually hammered with the manmade "global warming" narrative to explain all, from the drought on Maui to the winds that whipped the fire. But ask yourself: Could "global warming" make a fire burn in a perfect geometric shape? What other factors might be involved here and in many other weather cataclysms underway all over the world?
It’s also pretty dumb. I’m not going to apologise for that. People need to sharpen their wits and stop scoring own-goals because our opponents (those promoting man-made ‘global warming’ as the cause of wildfires worldwide) are much smarter than this.
The post above ends with this from Dane Wiggington:
Anyone that actually still believes the off-the-charts wildfires, droughts and deluges all over the world are just random acts of nature needs to radically re-check their reality. There is no legitimate discussion of climate-anything from any perspective without first and foremost addressing the climate engineering operations.
In the geologic blink of an eye industrialized militarized so-called civilization has laid waste to our formerly thriving miracle-planet and at the top of all the layers of deeply destructive human activity is climate engineering operations, a.k.a., weather warfare.
According to Dane and others, Lahaina was ‘weather warfare’ being waged by the globalist elites, not global warming, not natural weather.
Weather engineering comes from the same narcissistic strand as climate change - it's all our fault. Nah
For the past week I've watched people clamoring for the wildest of explanations, and realized the the danger and utility, the increasingly sharp double edged sword of instantaneously available information through the internet.
I kept reading about "perfect circles", "near perfect eclipses", and all the finger pointing from dark corners of a million imaginations, none if whom have any practical fire behavior experience.
Not having the time to track down the images and video they referred to, I couldn't say what I was suspecting. But thanks to your images, my suspicions were correct.
First of all, I believe the night time drone video is of one of the upcountry fires between Kahului and Kihei, or up towards Kula, not Lahaina. Secondly all the images show very normal fire spread patterns. How do I know they look normal? A thirty plus year career fighting these fires, with one of my specialties in the last ten working as a fire behavior analyst, (someone who makes observations and short and long range predictions to assist with strategy and tactics).
I have gleaned that the fire started east of Lahaina on a grass covered slope, near the High School and Middle School. The fire was initially contained (spread was stopped, but hot spots still remained within the interior). As the dry, warm winds picked up in the hours later, the fire spotted (and ember was blown across the containment line, and started a new ignition down wind). Most likely the local fire department had moved on to other incidents and the fire was able to accelerate and spread due to the strong downslope winds. Once the fire impacted a few structures, the firefighters were fighting a losing battle. The Tunnel fire in the Berkley Hills area in CA in 1991 was very similar. I was there the next morning, helping to put out what was left. Thousands of homes were destroyed. 25 people died. This tragedy in Lahaina is very similar. The fire behavior accounts I have read seen and heard are all typical. The wild assumptions though are frustrating to say the least. There will hopefully be many hard lessons learned. But blaming everyone from crazy rich Oprah to the crazy rich military helps no one, especially the people who's lives, futures and families have been forever changed by this tragedy.
Thank you Jamie for trying to reel folks back towards reality.
