Background:
We all should now be aware of the wildfires occurring out West. No doubt many of the fires are due to natural causes, or old utility infrastructure. But there is growing concern, as well as evidence, that arson is a cause of many of these fires. The question then becomes, is it random, or organized and planned. And, if that is true, then the public needs to know the t***h. And that my friends, is what makes the following so disconcerting!
"A top Facebook official tweeted Saturday it would delete posts alleging l*****t organizations started wildfires in Oregon and other Western states after the FBI said arson reports are "conspiracy theories," reported RT News.
"We are removing false claims that certain groups started the wildfires in Oregon. This is based on confirmation from law enforcement that these rumors are forcing local fire and police agencies to divert resources from fighting the fires and protecting the public," Andy Stone, policy communications manager at Facebook, tweeted on Saturday evening.
Stone continued, "This is consistent with our past efforts to remove content that could lead to imminent harm given the possible risk to human life as the fires rage on."
According to That Oregon Life, here are four other arson incidents across Oregon, Washington, and California:
1 Police arrested a man for arson over Sweet Creek Fires. Lane County Police announcement. Oregonian notes "A 44-year-old man was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of arson in a wildfire that has burned nearly 400 acres and prompted evacuations west of Eugene, deputies say."
2 Arson arrest in Spokane, WA: KHQ-TV 6 News is reporting that police have arrested a woman for multiple arson incidences; "According to Spokane Police, Officer Mohondro arrived on scene he saw some grass and a pallet on fire outside of a commercial business… The same officer spotted another fire a few blocks away. SPD said the fire was next to an old oil drum under a tree which gave the fire the potential to explode into something much larger was very high."
3 Arson arrest in California fire: San Fransisco Chronicle reports, "Ivan Geronimo Gomez, 31, of Fresno was arrested and booked into Monterey County Jail on Aug. 19 after state park rangers detained him near the fire's origin point, the Sheriff's Office said. Sheriff's detectives arrested him on suspicion of five charges, including arson of forestland, setting his bail at $2 million. Jail records list illegal marijuana cultivation as another charge, along with throwing objects at a vehicle with intent to cause great bodily harm, battery and exhibiting a deadly weapon that wasn't a gun."
4 Police arrest a man in Lane County: The Hill reports, "Authorities in southern Oregon charged a 44-year-old man, Jason Maas, with first-degree arson after he allegedly started a fire in the woods near the frisbee golf course at Dexter State Recreation Area on Wednesday."
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/facebook-and-fbi-wage-infowar-arson-conspiracy-theoriesSince there is concrete evidence of at least 4 instances of man made arson, it is incumbent on the FBI to investigate these cases, and determine IF there is any organized effort by any group to cause this chaos and destruction. It should then release it's findings to the public. To make a declarative statement denying any such ties, without releasing any evidence, makes it appear that the FBI has become a tool of Facebook and the left. They have become an enabler of Facebook's manipulation of facts and controlling the public narrative to suit the interests of Facebook and the Silicon Valley crowd. This is just another example of the loss of credibility in the rule of law in this country.
