Although CA is known for forest fires and has had them for millions of years, there are now 17 of these "wild fires" burning in all different parts of the state.
It might not be a stretch that some of these fires are terrorist related and the government is staying silent to prevent copy cats or other reasons.
It certainly would be a way for terrorists to create chaos, death and destruction...just a thought
I wouldn't even limit it to terrorists.
Think about the rebuilding money that can be made from a fire.
Think about the diversion of attention a fire creates.
You have an over-population condition that is making real estate valuable.
You burn out a few areas and then come in and clear cut and build sub-divisions and high end housing communities.
Sounds like a strategy to me.
