Apocalyptic scenes are playing out across Australia as bushfires have burned millions of acres and ravaged more than 1,000 homes in New South Wales alone. Paul HockenosThe bright orange haze may look like something out of a dystopic science fiction film -- or even Dante's Inferno -- but this is Australia's current reality. A total of 20 people have died, and the photographs of human suffering are foreboding: native Australians have poured out of smoke-shrouded towns as the flames creep nearer, while people along the coast have taken refuge on beaches.

Opinion The fires were caused be Pacific electric wires and the failure by California to maintain clearance of dead brush and trees, some fires also caused by arson. Australian fires, they haven't said yet. If you want to advance the climate change claim, at least be honest about it.

Opinion And yet the mainstream media enables Wall Street and these Globalist Neocons do nothing.

Opinion Free countries, like the US, have many generals, ministers, and capable people - spare parts -, totalitarian countries, dictatorships, have only one, only one leader, and a bunch of non-spare bag-pullers. Hence Iran had only Soleimani and no one else.
