Description |
please take a moment toread the following article. it has verifiable links attached. the new face of firefighting isn't what you think and if you live in california, you should think about it, imo. it's actually not new, either. the article, which discusses the rebirth of private firefighting collectives is from down in san diego back in december of 2007. if private firefighting becomes an industry, so will arson. [edit 03/01/2012 several of these links have been killed. i'm not sure if that's standard business on news stories. each link specifically identified firemen and/or volunteer firemen as arsonists, many were also convicted of conspiracy to set fires as well. these were just a few who were caught.] www.wvmetronews.com/index.cfm?func=displayfullstory&s... www.worldwidelearn.com/science/environmental-science/fire... www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2009/03/21/2009-03-21_v... www.wusa9.com/news/columnist/blogs/2009/05/man-at-center-... www.nvfc.org/news/hn_firefighter_arson.html " While little is known about the extent of firefighter arson, enough is known to indicate that it is a problem. Additionally, research has shown that many states do little in terms of awareness and prevention.

Jon Coupal, president of Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, argued that rather than targeting public safety, the governor should find "waste, fraud and abuse" in the state. The governor's spokesman, Aaron McLear, said the administration is merely preparing for a possible worst-case scenario. In two weeks, voters will decide the six ballot measures that were part of the February budget deal reached between Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders to close a nearly $42 billion shortfall through June 2010." ...in the meantime, this fire, which has all appearances of being groomed and pimped through the nights (hey, it's day four and they are only now calling in the DC 10s???!!). okay, if you read at least half of the links, i think your mind is at least working in new ways about how this booming industry is using politics and circumstance and arson to benefit. anyway, food for thought. there are literally thousands of links and and avenues you can research this issue on your own. if you live in this state, i hope you take some time. |
