Economic Warfare: Jihad by forest fire
The Washington Times ^ | September 23, 2013 | Bob Taylor

Not long after Al Qaeda published a story in its online magazine, Inspire, about how to make pressure cooker bombs, the Boston Marathon became a victim of those devices.

Since that time America’s hopscotch media with its 24/7-be-the-first-to-report-a-story mentality has covered riots in Egypt, red lines in Syria, Paula Dean’s racism, Oprah Winfrey’s Switzerland trip, defunding Obamacare, shutting down the government for the 100th time and endless hours debating the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman incident.

Meanwhile, ever-vigilant global jihadists have been creating new and better ways of economic terrorism which may be less visible than flying planes into buildings or attacking malls in Kenya, but are far more cost-efficient and difficult to detect.

Inspire published another article in the spring of last year titled “It is of Your Freedom to Ignite a Firebomb,” describing techniques for building bombs that will set forests on fire.

In June of this year, a fire in the Black Forest of Colorado left more than 15,000 acres of timberland in charred ruins while 38,000 people were evacuated and nearly 400 homes were damaged or destroyed. Arson is the suspected culprit, though it is yet to be proven....

Let’s not forget that during WWII the Japanese tried to launch balloon bombs from subs to set the forests on fire.

They failed, although one bomb did kill a civilian.

Enviral Economic Terrorists have been using fire for economic terrorism for decades.

The Jihadists could easily adopt their techniques.

Our home grown enviral economic terrorists via their green buddies have basically banned most brush control and harvesting even dead trees. That makes any forest fire a potential big one.

The PLO used fires to destroy many Israeli forests. Nothing new. American terrorists are using that tactic too. Nothing new. However, we don’t shoot environmental terrorists. Instead they become friends of the President.

What is wrong with this picture?

I highly recommend Secret Weapon by Kevin Freeman. He's been studying economic warfare and this book is a summary if his research. Very interesting stuff.

In the 1980’s IRA planted small incendiary bombs on buses/subways and in department stores

Caused number of small fires, but disruption and chaos
were tremendous

Recently our fire chief gave handout from Homeland security
outlining how to spot incendiary devices
