It’s apparent the recent monumentally disastrous fire storm that devastated Southern California obviously smacks of planned terrorism of a very professional nature in view of the simultaneous ignition of 13 separate fires during wind conditions most favorable for spreading fires.

Such planning seems very thorough and we can probably expect the theological hot place to freeze over before our governmental agencies stop aiding the terrorists in the U.N. etc.(see:www.getusout.org) through planned bureaucratic inertia, disarming the airline pilots, and declaring war on goat herders and American taxpayers instead of sealing our borders and contracting hits on terrorist leaders by private contractors who know what they’re doing.

I have an interim suggestion that should be a final solution to wild fires in general. I noticed in the news recently that Russia is marketing a giant water tanker aircraft (the IL-76) that can drop 11,000 gallons of water in 10 seconds and squelch a fire the size of over 10 football fields in one drop during tests.

However fire officials actually criticize this saying the aircraft is too big to fly into canyons safely!

Advocates of this system say (obviously) that when you’re dropping 11,000 gallons of water you don’t need to go in that low.

The aircraft system is comprised of two large tubes holding the water in a simple gravity feed system as compared to the much smaller WW II-vintage aircraft used in the recent fire storm using complex pressure-drop systems.

Let’s contact our county supervisors and congressmen and urge the above investments in terrorist and wildfire solutions (perhaps modifying comparable American aircraft).

Our counties and state (or private company) could also lease such super water tankers to other counties and states for profit.
