    Arson in Griffith Park?

    This is the 3rd fire in gp near the zoo, in a month. And now arson is suspected, writes Channel2. There is nothing in the LAFD blog yet about it. Firefighters say they have detected as many as five separate ignition points as they battle a series of brush fires in Griffith Park Saturday, the third likely arson incident near the Los Angeles Zoo in three weeks. Note that the alert Kristin Sabo, who is caretaker of Amir’s Garden in the park, suspected arson on July 29, in my comments. This was the day of the first fire, and she said as much to Officer Humphreys of the LAFD: I…

    Silver Lake goes for the gold!

    The LAFD is at it again, and Silver Lake is there to help. No, I don’t have the LAFD blog bookmarked, but I live on the crest of the hill, so the water helicopters fly right over on their way to the lake, uncomfortably close, and so that’s a heads up to me. (Fortunately they’re good fliers, and don’t clip our building.) Helicopter lowers stinger into Silver Lake to pick up water. This is the third day this month that the LAFD has used Silver Lake as a source of water for several wildfires, all near the zoo. I’ve lost count at the number of helicopter water pick ups today,…

    This is what a million dollars looks like.

    This black mass in Silver Lake is millions of bird balls, made with big oil, from Exxon or Mobil. Hundreds of thousands of LA residents will drink this water. Black bird balls fill Ivanhoe Reservoir; only one corner of clear open water remains, until they get more bags. These are untested HDPE plastic balls, cooking in the sun. They are unrecycled plastic, and 95% of this plastic is never recycled after use, either. LA dwp filled Ivanhoe Reservoir in Silver Lake with plastic balls which have NOT been tested properly. The LADWP has lied about this. These bird balls will leach in the water for at least 4 years. These…

  • Forest Fire,  From beyond the grave

    Hellfire in LA, the Devil in Manitoba.

    lao found a fascinating article in the Ventura County Star today. Firefighters are monitoring a patch of land north of Fillmore where the ground climbed to 812 degrees on Friday for unknown reasons. Possible theories include that natural hydrocarbons such as oil or gas are burning deep in the earth. But nobody knows for sure what might have ignited the materials. Let’s see, it’s 812 degrees underground, and could be as deep as 100 feet. There are wisps of smoke coming from cracks in the ground. Hmm, what could this possibly be? It doesn’t take a cartoonist to figure out it’s obviously a portal to hell. /raises hand excitedly, proud…
