Did you guys know the Police Chief for Maui is the same guy who ran the police response to the Las Vegas shooting. What are the odds on that? One in a billion? Trillion? Do you think those odds are better or worse than him being deliberately set up to be in this position by psychopaths making a land grab worth billions and billions of dollars?

Wait - you think odds of a high ranking police official (a captain) in one US tourist city getting a higher ranking job in policing in another (probably slower crime) US tourist area is "one in a billion or trillion"?

LOL. Who do you think applies for these jobs - everyone in the world?

Yeah, if I went through something like the Vegas shooting I'd be looking for a new chill assignment, and Maui would have been a perfect choice.

Not everything is a ####ing conspiracy, you ####ing moron.

Statistically speaking, I am not sure “one in a trillion” is even possible. It is literally one in however many adult Americans exist on Earth.

My memory could be incorrect here, and if that is the case, I apologize, but aren't you also a big pusher that COVID was a conspiracy and created by "Chyna" to mess the world up (but somehow forgot that the virus would also impact their own country's people)?

Surprised you don't think it was Chyna that unleashed the direct energy weapon to start the fires in Maui, because that theory is also out there on Twitter.

Full disclosure. I think Theo Fleury is a moron. And I think space lazer talk is equally moronic. Yes, humanity landed on the moon and the Earth is in fact round. .....However.

Immediately dismissing the fact that environmentalists might be setting some of these fires to advance their climate change agenda... I'm sorry, I wouldn't put it past the realm of possibility.

Someone just set the island of Tenerife on fire. There was a couple charged setting fires in Northern BC or Quebec a couple years back. These green warriors have blocked traffic in europe that have lead to people dying in emergency medical situations and their movements leader had a stunning lack of remorse when questioned on live TV about it.

To suggest all of these fires are arson, yes, that is moronic. But it is completely plausible that there is a man made, political activism component to some of them. It would be astonishingly easy to set a forest fire undetected in 95% of Canada. In 95% of the world for that matter.

I didn't even know this was a 'conspiracy theory' until a couple months ago. I've wondered for the last four or five years if the spike in forest fires might partially have a deliberate/political component to them.

The difference being I haven't been donning a tin foil suit and shouting it from the rooftops. Just musing to myself internally when I'm walking my dog or riding my bike in the smoke.

At the end of the day, I don't think it hurts to ask the question. Sometimes the lunatic asking the crazy questions might actually be on to something.

Yes, the people who are most likely to deliberately destroy the forest are...environmentalists, a group very well-known for hating trees. Come on now.

I actually wish it was people intentionally starting the fires because that would be the easiest problem to fix in this day and age.

I also wish people would stop thinking that something being plausible means it’s more likely to be occurring than something we can prove is actually occurring.

That being said, it’s plausible that aliens are out there and that they’re the ones causing the fires.

No, statistically speaking, the chances are far higher than that.

On another note, Theo has stepped up his bs today on Twitter. I don’t want to post too many and will just do so for the crap that’s 10/10 on the bs scale.

You are far more likely to find fires started by ####face smokers, UHV's, camp fires, and industrial activity than, uhm, environmentalist arsonists. It's jut such an outlier of a thing to cling to. Might it be happening? Probably, people are crazy and irrational. But given all the other far more likely sources, I can't imagine why anyone would focus in on that one.

Human beings are capable of all sorts of heinous acts to get what they want. They'll murder their own children to get back at an ex. False flag operations aren't just the ramblings of conspiracy theorists, they have been used as legitimate and effective tactics in things as big as war/international incidents and as small as the Jussie Smollet hoax.

You don't think environmentalists selfish enough to glue themselves to roads potentially costing innocent people jobs, and risking the lives of anyone needing or currently riding in an ambulance wouldn't burn down a few forests as collateral damage to advance their cause?

I don't disagree that it is less than likely. But I also think it is obtuse to outright dismiss the possibility.

I reckon firefighters start far more fires than environmentalists.

Fires set by firefighters a long-standing problem, experts say
