Bushfires in Australia – photo taken earlier this year
Ed: The very recent events (Iran, Megxit) have only relegated the tragedy of the Australian bushfires, they have not vanished from the papers. Below is a letter from one of our readers in Oz. We’re publishing it because it throws a light on aspects which the “Climate Emergency’ shouters prefer not to mention – just as here in the UK the devastating floods, in somerset a few years ago and recently in Yorkshire, are blamed on ‘Climate Emergency/Climate Change’ while the real causes, i.e. interference by the green crap brigade, is conveniently forgotten.
I also recommend you watch Paul Joseph Watson’s devastating video on those bushfires before you read Jamila’s letter:
Here is Jamila’s letter:
Sir,
in answer to your question on why this is happening, I think it is the result of building wooden houses in forests. I am perhaps more conscious of fire risk than others but I wouldn’t buy an old house in bushland (which is the Australian term for forest).
For at least the last 15 years building regulations have required new buildings in fire prone areas to be built to quite high standards. Around here people building in bushland have to put in very large water tanks, which they must keep full of water, with a 4 inch hose connection so that if a fire comes through the fire brigade, or the house owner, can use a pump (diesel, not electric) and a fire hose. We can cut down trees within 10 metres from our homes. Newer roofs are constructed in a way to prevent embers from being blown into the attics from gutters. Older houses often get destroyed that way.
The way I see it is this. Decades ago, in the 50s, people bought cheap blocks of land by the beach, put up a tent, then a shed, then a shack, then a cheap house. No one cared about how these settlements spread through bushland because the land and the houses were cheap and people could shelter at the beach if a fire came through. No one supported stringent building regulations because the resale price was so low people didn’t want to build expensive houses when they only planned to use them for a few weeks every year.
As Australia’s population and wealth grew the price of these houses increased, many now cost over a million dollars. People renovate and extend but don’t often totally rebuild to today’s standards. They are still surrounded by highly flammable trees.
It is certainly true that there is ongoing conflict between environmentalists who want to protect the bushland and people who want to do controlled burns to reduce fire hazard but that is only part of the story. If you buy a flammable house in a flammable forest you know there is a risk it will burn down. If you buy a house in a flood zone you know there is a risk it will flood – the houses in Brisbane that are in the river’s flood zone are hundreds of thousands of dollars cheaper than the houses in neighbouring suburbs on higher land. People here mostly understand the risks so you don’t hear people complaining that this is somebody’s fault, somebody else should pay, this should never be allowed to happen again.
Respectfully, Jamila Maxwell

Have the actions and non-actions of the Murray-Darling Basin Authority been significantly responsible for the devastating fires sweeping Australia? Are they wise to be talking to the Mekong River Commission when theirs might be envious eyes cast on a continent with views of the Southern Cross from a very large population seeking lebenstraum?
All this is not happening because the Australians have been naughtily burning too much indigenous coal, but their climate is changing, nevertheless, because the Great Artesian Basin, which feeds the aquifers of the entire continent, is being drained of its annual monsoonal waters. As the continent becomes more dry, the temperature rises and entire river / forest ecosystems which depend upon the Great Artesian are dying out.
Of course Anthropogenic Global Warming based on Carbon Dioxide is a hoax to destroy Western Civilisation as is the Diversity Makes Us Stronger hoax; however man can alter his climate by interfering in major water systems such as the Amazon basin because water can and does control the climate.
Whilst I agree with PJW that climate change has nothing to do with the bushfires in Australia I do not agree with his mainly arsonists comments. The main causes have been that the government have stopped property owners doing burn backs to protect their properties and lightning. There have been some arson but not on the scale he suggests as the main cause. Read the article below.

The scammers have got away with it for far too long but let us consider that the real science is irrelevant to governments; it is all about control.
This whole thing worries me. I remember being told by an Aussie the Following. The Aussie bush has a high percentage of Eucalyptus trees. ( Koala bears eat eucalyptus leaves ) Which in hot summers give off inflammable fumes every year. catch fire for different reasons. Aussies never used to bother much, as the trees do not die but come back to life again in the spring. And anyway ,due to the natural small bushfires that provide natural firebreakseach year, you just move your stock out of danger and carry on,
It is of course possible an Aussie was winding me up, or he was ignorant of reality. But my experience tells me this is sloppy ignorant government at work.
As soon as the fake news is challenged, the challenge (i.e. the facts) is labelled fake news.
The Telegraph ran a piece last Thursday: Social media trolls spread bushfire fake news.
I was about to post that video onto a Facebook group that I’m a member of, but as I was about to his the ‘Post’ button, the URL had been detected and the following message popped up:
“Independent fact-checkers at Science Feedback say that this post has false information. To help stop the spread of false news, a notice will be added to your post if you decide to share this.
“Pages and websites that repeatedly publish or share false news will see their overall distribution reduced and be restricted in other ways.”
Google/YouTube is clearly attempting to suppress any information that contradicts the official narrative with regard to the man-made climate change scam, and will, in all likelihood, soon apply the same clampdown on other issues before silencing dissent altogether.
Hello Cranky. So far I have just been driven up the wall by all the sign in notices, do this do that, agree to this or that, read these conditions, etcetera every time I use Google or do anything else on the internet.
Now, after reading your comment I am not just irritated I am seriously ALARMED that someone somewhere is as you say seeking to SILENCE DISSENT.
Funny that. We knew the USSR did it. We think Communist China does it. Probably Islamist nations do it. But somehow we thought the Free Capitalist Democratic WESTERN Nations were above that sort of thing.
As for poor old Australia, our long time Commonwealth Friends and Partners, (you know all the nice things it is politically correct to say about the EU nowadays). As for Australia, I suggest we re – direct most of our foreign aid, to them, making sure it goes to the folk who fell and burn sensible fire breaks and other sensible actions now forbidden by the Green wa*kers ooh . . I mean Lobby.
Article of interest showing how, like flooding in the U.K. bad political “knee jerk” decisions about “saving the environment” cause more problems than they solve. https://volunteerfirefighters.org.au/it-is-high-time-bureaucrats-and-politicians-stopped-blaming-climate-change-for-a-bushfire-crisis-that-is-very-much-of-their-own-making-and-is-putting-lives-at-risk?fbclid=IwAR0dMIpxkkrLnAPJ6SO0LReIwKli55NoSG4uNqpz00Zcd4_JDYm7EsMaTLY
There have been arson attacks reported and my cousin in Melbourne says the weather is pretty much normal for the time of year.
PJW isn’t the only one. Hear from a genuine Aussie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvSFpEiR9lY&t=61s) who doesn’t pull his punches.
Thank you for the link. This could be seen as Mad Scientist Syndrome but worth some serious consideration. The Aussie government seems far worse that our own in signing up to the Climate Change Scam and Agenda 21. Maybe it is to be expected that they will do whatever it takes to prove themselves right…
in previous years / decades / centuries this would have been dealt with by controlled fires. But since this has been stopped there are many populated areas of Australia who are living on tinder boxes.
This video is from 1971 shows how it was controlled then before all this green crap came along.
Google “flight line one” vimeo csiro Australia or try this link –
Good to have someone speak out about this. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those fires have been started deliberately to support the Climate Change Scam.
A good presentation as we have come to expect from PJW.
Mr Thomas – I was thinking the same about arson, though I hate to believe anyone would be so cruel when they know the wide devastation it will cause. Still, there are some barking mad folk around who believe so implicitly in anthropogenic climate change that they may well do anything, mad or bad, to bolster their ’cause’.
The reds have always lived by the creed that the(ir) end justifies the means – any means. And the watermelons are the reds. So no, it’s not hard to believe. It’s almost certainly the correct explanation. Just like that other socialist created a false flag attack on his own country to start WWII.
Good point Tomaz. Nazis were socialist/reds. It is a full circle – far enough one way you get back to other side.
What’s more we now have Islam following same creed. World domination by any means.
