Salty Cracker and Wall Street Apes are now insinuating it. The op was a success, they've created a narrative binary where either space lasers did it or climate change (MSM narrative) did it. Meanwhile the much more likely story (strategic arson ahead of high winds + collusion with crooked state and local officials to mishandle the response on purpose) has effectively been shoved under the rug. Now instead of having the entire internet digging into that to possibly find some arsonists or conspiracies to mishandle response, they are instead "laser focused" on space lasers.
Of course, if the DEW theory is correct, this is fine. I just don't think it is.

Thats not why the argument is being made though. The fact that blue beach umbrellas site unscathed between burned up buildings is odd. Blue cars untouched in a field of burnt cars. Celebs and politicians painting their homes the same very strange shade of blue. No one paints tile roofing in general, specially not an ugly blue like that.
Then the actions of local first responders and local politicians tells you that they all knew it was coming.
Too much cherry-picking. What about other beach umbrellas of different colors? What about the blue ones that burned to ash? Or would it be the material and not the color? How many blue cars were burnt up, but could no longer be identified as blue? I've already looked at Oprah Winfrey's house. Depending on the photo, her roof looks off-white, light grey, or light blue---completely consistent with a mostly reflective roof that reflects the shade of the prevailing sky. It makes a lot of sense to have a reflective roof in the tropics, if you can afford it. Besides, 99% of the island was unaffected by the fire, so the celebs and politicians weren't even in jeopardy.
I would say the actions of the responsible parties were consistent with a pre-determined plan, but contingency plans come by the dozens. They didn't have to know when anything was coming. All they had to do was know what to do if something came. Think more, knee-jerk less.
Theres no knee jerk reaction here. Im simply discussing possibilities. Playing devils advocate. But when mods make a thread mocking its own members because of something like a dew i think it harms the entire community. We need to keep an open mind and discuss all possible outcomes. Discuss every point in both directions.
Im not saying this was caused by a dew but it could have been. Thats not really something we can know at this point. But im open to that possibility. More so after seeing the strike in michigan some 3 years ago that they tried to call a meteor.
But i think those quickly to dismiss such possibilities without giving it any time, are the problem. Close/small minded and naive in general.
Possibilities must first be possible. I have pointed out repeatedly that there are no known DEW systems that would be suitable to such a purpose. And that the nature of DEW systems being optical would make it a difficult match for the problem. In addition to which there is no evidence for DEWs having been used, nor are people even considering what conceivable evidence could be found---but people are not even talking about evidence. They are content to talk up fairy tales. This does not seem like open-mindedness at all; it seems like a total fixation on a delusion. To the point of fixing on entirely unrelated issues as "evidence" of a fantasy (e.g., "blue roofs").
The premise that "possibilities" are being discussed is hollow. Is anyone discussing airplanes dropping napalm? No. Is anyone discussing the use of arbalests to launch fire arrows? No. Is anyone discussing the coordination of arsonists? Not so much; it is being pushed aside because it is not sexy enough. Is anyone discussing the falling of sparking power lines? No, because "it is the narrative" and must be ignored (even though it is the most credible answer).
There has been no quick dismissal, at least on my part. I am the only one here who has knowledge of the field and have been trying to educate the ignorant about the facts of the matter. You certainly can't accuse me of being naive.
I will repeat again, having an open mind does not mean having an empty mind.
My comments werent directed toward you but you seemed to have taken offense to them.
And no known systems? You couldnt possibly know that. Stop pretending like you are in the know.
And secondly you are wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1toVupe_R8
They've been openly testing these weapons for at least a decade. So talk a step back and calm your wilful ignorance. You arent educating anyone here.
Heres another official example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMx1-yaRLyQ
I mean the irony of your patronizing posts here is comical at this point. I didnt have a problem with you or your posts directly until you stepped the arrogance levels to 10 and proved that you have no idea what youre talking about. Theyve been openly testing multiple systems for a decade that the public knows of and you still post drivel like that. Come on man.
