Okay, this thing about the Amazon Rain Forest fires is getting totally confusing.  Is it real, or not...? 

The failing news-outlets find fires fascinating when they can be used for political sh*t-throwing.
With Climate Change being a great vehicle on which to blame certain countries -even if the countries where the fires are
aren't vogue enough to call racist nationalistic global-warming anarchists!

The fires in the Amazon rain forests are deliberate acts that could be debated as part of the residents cultures.
Yes, natural fires break out, but usually it's someone cleaning land for agricultural reasons or a lumber company burning an
area unsuitable for taking timber via machinery.

The MSM know that most of the first-world countries perceive that Amazon jungles as peaceful, serene ranges of paradise,
where man lives with nature and the days are warm and long. Parrots chatter overhead and food is bountiful.
They know this because they've taught their readers and viewers to see it this way.

But it's bullsh*t. The same media never name the lumber companies -that usually stem from outside of Brazil and they never
-ever would dare to accuse the indigenous people of wasteful destruction because of their skin-colour and economic status.
So the stereotypical white man is to blame. The cigar-smoking businessman in his expensive suit and a gang of square-jawed
lackeys in hard-hats, they're the baddies in this imaginary 'Avatar'-like scenario.

As I've said many times, the reality that you and I live is far-different from the one painted by the media.
And to show this -without hijacking your post Mystic, is to show you the outcome from a mention I did in a post about the the
Notre-Dame fire.

I added a small piece about a West Yorkshire moor fire in England, where all the major news-outlets were ranting about this
terrible inferno that might scorch the land and lay waste the area. The Guardian newspaper called it 'apocalyptic’ and yet, a day
later, the fire was out and the media forgot about it.

Leaving aside the fact that the station manager at West Yorkshire fire and rescue service was called 'Greenwood' -that for a
different thread, the reason for the larger news companies deserting the story was this:

Arsonist who started moorland fire in West Yorkshire is jailed.

Mohammed Zulkifl, who used a cigarette lighter to set alight the Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire, has been
detained for 27 months.

'A 20-year-old man has been sent to a young offender's institution for starting a fire on a Yorkshire moorland.
Mohammed Zulkifl, who used a cigarette lighter to set alight the Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire, has been
detained for 27 months.



The blaze ripped through the land during the hot weather in April earlier this year -at a similar time to the five
fires that broke out in the hills across Greater Manchester.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said that Zulkifl was spotted at around 8pm on April 20 setting fire
to some grass on the moorland, before stamping it out and then starting a second fire.
On Thursday, Zulkifl, of Rufford Street, Bradford, admitted arson at Bradford Crown Court.

Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC said that without quick intervention, the actions of the defendant could have
been "catastrophic", said the rescue service. They added that Zulkifl attempted to run away after lighting the fire,
but eventually crossed paths with police officers on the moor and was then arrested.

At the time of the arson, fire crews were already battling two separate, larger fires, on Ilkley Moor.
After the sentencing, Amanda Anderson, director of the Moorland Association, said: "Wildfires caused by arson
are deliberate acts of environmental vandalism. 

"They release thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gases poisoning our planet, incinerate local wildlife and vegetation,
and risks human health and even life. "This case highlights the devastating consequences of uncontrollable wildfires
on our moors. Zulkifl deserves his custodial sentence." 

The fires on Ilkley Moor, including the one set by Zulkifl, required the attention of 14 fire engines, and caused significant
damage to the popular walking spot, said the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service. 
The service's chief fire officer, Dave Walton, said: "We very much welcome the sentence given to Zulkifl -and hope it acts
as a deterrent to others."

Chief Inspector Mark Long, of Bradford District Police, said: "We hope this outcome sends out a message that anyone
who endangers the lives of others by starting a fire deliberately is likely to go to prison.".

The sentencing comes after five fires broke out in the Greater Manchester region, which happened within 24 hours of
each other, at a similar time to the incident carried out by Zulkifl.
Blazes broke out in the land between Diggle, Denshaw and Delph, near Saddleworth, Marsden Moor in West Yorkshire,
Tintwistle in Derbyshire, Uppermill in Oldham and in Shaw Moor, Stalybridge...'

Manchester Evening News:

The guy had been lighting fires all over the place and I wonder if you've noticed recently how many fires have occurred in the
UK? Lots of them. London is besieged with blazes and some are done for insurance purposes before the owners of the failed
stores leave for other shores. But there's another pattern that I'm still looking into.

The Saddleworth Moor fire-story was dropped because of who the culprit was and what he might represent to the public.
The Amazon fires-narrative is okay because it doesn't blame those who are actually doing it, it's just good ammunition for the
Global-warming con-artists.

'...The record number of fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest has coincided with a sharp drop in fines for
environmental violations, BBC analysis has found. Official data from Brazil's environment agency shows
fines from January to 23 August dropped almost a third compared with the same period last year.

At the same time, the number of fires burning in Brazil has increased by 84%...'

BBC:

As you know, financial penalties -when poured onto flames, don't put the fires out! The actual narrative is
not about damaging the global ecology or destroying the magical rain-forests, it's about the usual need.
Money.
