Great stuff here! Your personal experience with fires helps me see a bigger picture. This was our first close encounter so my response to it may indeed be a little hasty, though i am confused how a fire moves fast or creates spot fires in the absence of wind? And we still cannot get away from the fact that France had their largest wildfires during a Fire Horse year (the fastest & most powerful land based animal in the Chinese zodiac), beginning on the 250th July 4th independence day. Two coincidences i struggle to see as natural. With that said my feeling of corruption has been mostly generated by our off-grid friends who lost everything and again it just feels like a mega coincidence that rich folk didn't lose a single house, while off-gridders were blitzed. Perfectly in line with the desires of the local authorities who speak in one voice about preventing people from from living on their agricultural land.
One of our off grid friends noticed helicopters on some kind of mapping mission with cameras on July 3rd and realising the significance of this after the fire was finished, he tried to post videos and photos of the helicopters but none of the usual social media sites would let him. The images simply failed to upload time and time again on multiple sites. Shame he didn't know about hive! But again, the coincidences are mounting up here. Mapping missions fit the DEW picture.
Sadly for DEWs there is nothing to be presented as evidence. From the ground one might only see a few sparks or a very faint laser beam for a second, making it extremely hard to photograph. The weapon itself is not visible at all because it shoots from low earth orbit. But certainly it exists and has been used in the past to create fires. Hawaii was a similar story with the locals reporting all kinds of oddities at the time.
We are still getting a few fires here and there but nothing like it was during that week thankfully. And otherwise it has been an awesome Summer! Made beer for the first time yesterday and can hear it bubbling away this morning. If it works, which i am quietly confident it will, we will never buy beer from a shop again :)
All the best to you and many thanks for your detailed comment!
