Hi Onawah, I was going to answer the post #31 but you nailed it. that's exactly what I believe it is and not only in California but in Australia, Brazil and elsewhere with criminal, intentional "wildfires".Posted by onawah (here)
I think it's at least partly about ruining choice real estate (which will return to normal eventually though the trees take longer, of course) driving people away so it can be bought up by the elite for their own use later, once they get enough people locked into "smart cities". Ala Agendas 21 and 30.
For instance, in Brazil were rumors that people working for Bolsonario (president) was responsible for some of these "wildfires" in Amazon state, but like everything in Brazil goes away pretty fast and no one comment about it anymore. The Brazilian mainstream media (mainly Globo) stinks the most! Argh!!!
