Wildfire Trouble in California a Sign of Other Troubles That Must Immediately Be Stopped

November 10, 2018
Written in the late night hours of November 9, 2018 EST

One could start off with a flaming rant, of 'look', Bismillah, recite the whole verse of the first verse of the Opening Chapter of Quran, speak in tongues so sharp it makes eyes boil and melt when seeing the words before they sink in, Jesus~Isa knows fact before fallacy, the right from the left, when you think of all the curses and spells that he rid.  Muhammad, in his sayings according to what is recorded today, discusses in some places 88,000 Prophets, whereat he was the Seal of the Prophets. -What that means is, there are about 87,000 or so, at least, that many here in America know almost nothing about, nevermind, what was said by them if they spoke, or what was revealed to them.-  Many of us here on earth today, know very, very little in comparison to the amount of knowledge, wisdom, and guidance that has been sent down upon mankind.
Knowledge, wisdom, and guidance, can save us from pains.

Right now, the kind of pain individuals, citizens, residents, and even those outside of California, is unspeakably severe.
To compound the College Night shooting of several days ago in Thousand Oaks, the US Marines as a branch of the military having to go through what they are going through after hundreds of years of service to this Country, families of victims have to deal with an emotional wound that will not disappear in moment's notice-- to compound the recent shooting, there are two sets of wildfires that are going on, one a wildfire, dubbed 'Camp Fire', in the area almost 100 miles north of Sacramento in the northern area of the state, the area known as Chico, and another set of wildfires, perhaps comprised by the Woolsey wildfire and Hill wildfire, also affecting over 70,000 homes in the Los Angeles areas, these events between yesterday and today.
It was clear as day, the wildfire in and around Chico was extremely powerful.  How can an entire football field be consumed by a fire in under 1 minute? A natural phenomenon that obviously attests to the greatness of the Creator that created creation.  The wildfire going on was assessed by a renown scholar that it was consuming the equivalent of about 6 football fields a minute.
Nevertheless, almost nothing was done about it, some things were done, and those that went to help, assist in evacuation, and so forth, thank you.
However, we, as in the wide expanse of resources that are supposed to be pulling together as a team, especially in emergencies, fell way, way short, of the mark we needed to be in dealing and mitigating this wildfire.
Going back to, 'look', and shouting about power of Latin speaking abilities of Sicilians from 2500 years ago, to Yaqub~Jacob was the father of a set of sons most agree was at least a dozen to include Yusuf~Joseph, that had knowledge of his sons and what they were doing with each other, he had some discernment.  Contrast his discernment, to whatever discernment that resulted in lack of direction provided to the people that led to 5 persons are dead the very next day, after news, photos, and videos of the wildfire was provided by online news media all over the Country.  Contrast the abilities to communicate effectively.

Pictures of these wildfires and their devastation look like Satan is in his idea of having a surreal good time, which translates into harrowing nightmare on a practical level for the people in the area.

Note: From the start of writing this article, until this sentence, the figure of the number of fatalities written in other news stories, rose from 5, to 9.
What is it going to take, to get the message across that action needs to be taken?

If in the month of June, there is 15 feet of snow on the ground, and no one can get to work, the roads need to be plowed.  We cannot just sit in awe, and say, it is summer, and for snow to be on the ground is unusual, and do nothing about getting the snow out the way.  
This thinking applies to wildfires.  It might be the next to last month in the solar year, the fact is, wildfires are burning and traveling with an intensity, it is a threat past just a state of emergency.

Where is the attention in media going?
What the next hubbub is about some politicians orientation about what he or she is attracted to in their lust for another human being.  That narrow band of frivolty is soaking up a disproportional amount of attention.  Able body young men and capable women need to know there are wildfires going on, and be instilled with the motivation to go and assist with that matter.  Not, 1 photo of 10s of thousands of houses burning, and 2 photos of fools mocking the anointed, manipulating the voting system, for a chance to claim they have some political power.

In another area close by, we cannot have terrorists and child abusers come rushing in to America's borders through the channels of illegal immigration.  Too many heinous crimes have been conducted through those channels and their side-effects.
Again, there is the however statement, spending all day and night discussing matters that seem to build up revenue in a few pockets through media structure manipulation, misses the point, thereunto what the group of matters are that should be a focus to keep the Country in good running condition.
Rhetorical exchanges, after more rhetorical, when very little get accomplished with it, is not where we need to be headed.  There needs to be sufficient motivation, that natural disasters, such as wildfires that we are dealing with now, hurricanes and severe flooding when they occur, need to be dealt with, by those enabled to deal with them.  Enabling more to do more ia a part of the solution.  Dealing with the problem with respect to time is another part.

Lastly for now, for those that have the capacity to loom big in social media, please stop using the woes of those suffering to accumulate wealth; the countless pictures of destruction, what happens after the wildfire, after the mass shooting, after the hurricane, floods, and tornados, can be replaced with warnings of what is imminent, and guidance of what to do to prevent, mitigate, and stop a situation that could lead to burdensome pains.


Several wildfires in November destroying as though it is wildfire season, mass shootings, these could be a sign or signs, that there is something else in stages of development that should not be present either.  It presents to check on, levels of child abuse, child trafficking, narcotics abuse, unauthorized medical pills sold and traded in unauthorized manner causing deaths to those in statistics and those not always accounted for in statistics, senseless killings in the streets over an ounce or two of drugs in impoverished neighborhoods, and generally, a lost grip of the difference between good and bad behavior among men and women.


 

Thousand Oaks California the Site in the Latest in a Wave of Mass Shootings

November 8, 2018
It was 'College Night', in Thousand Oaks, California, an area northwest of Los Angeles.  According to numerous news reports, a 28 year old male entered the location of what is known as the Borderline Bar and Grill.  In the moments after, he fired the gun he was in possession with.  These events occurring last night, Wednesday, November 7, 2018.  The gun evidently was a Glock, higher caliber, and an extended magazine, referring to a weapons add-on that holds more bullets to be fed through the firearm, than what may come as standard equipment.

There are a number of points that should be brought up at this time.

Considering that a large number of newspapers have been covering the Thousand Oaks incident, HCN will try to provide some information that maybe not everyone will, at least not at this second.

Starting from about the middle of October last month there seems to be a resurgence of violent mass shootings, taking place in various settings where persons gather.

These include a shooting at a synagogue in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, last Saturday in October.

It has also been made known, that there was an attempted beginning of what might have been a mass shooting that did not materialize, a few days before, Wednesday the 24th, different location.  Jefferson, Kentucky, was the locale where an armed man was reportedly seen grabbing aggressively at the door of a religious institution, then within a short time span later, shot 2 persons in a Kroger supermarket.  There are reports that a racial slur was said at some point during or near the during the melee.

Thus far there are two standout elements, references to raciality, and an event in, at, around, or near to a religious institution.

For those that have been around long enough to reflect on the following incident, let us go back to 1973, when there was what is now described as a 'mass killing' or even 'mass shooting', that involved shooting, along with other acts, in Washington DC, close to the Gold Coast area of Silver Spring, Maryland.  Seven fatalities, and other injuries resulted.  the site that the events took place, was being used as a place of learning and prayer, in addition to a residence.  Part of what made that incident so protuberant, was the shattered peace, and a large consensus, that nothing like that has happened before, the framework, here in the USA in a wealthy part of DC and Maryland.

What is happening today, is mass shootings are occurring at a frequency that a protuberant incident which would otherwise be etched into the history of the Country, is becoming a regularity.  A 'new culture', a new atmosphere, is trying to emerge, however, such culture and an atmosphere that has no place in America.

A contrast exists, between the early 1970s and now, with respect to mass shootings on US soil; contemplation on what the reasons are a deeper and deeper, and broader levels, allowing us to ascertain what the reasons are for the contrast, might help in mitigating the now problematic frequency of mass shootings.

In the past several years, there have been so many mass shootings, that websites, webpages, and blogs are devoted to them.  To name them all here is a project in itself, whereat, a few might be mentioned at a later point, as this article gets updated.

Some of the suspects in the shootings, were not even alive yet in the 1970s, nor are involved in terms of knowing a lot about major events of the sort that took place in the 70s era.

PTSD was an issue just after the Vietnam War, when soldiers returned home, but still, there was not this many mass shootings altogether like what has been seen in the past 5 years.

Next point, no matter what the genre of music, whether country, rock, the genre of music does not constitute in itself, a green light to go mass murdering those that gathered.  Similar rule for the name of the location of the gathering place.
Uses of names like, bar, club, tavern, lounge, and nightclub, are sometimes used loosely and intermittently, to attract customers.  In other places of the world, the meanings of those words do not have the same, as in other places, as for instance, a sleazy place that encourages nudity, clothing stripping for money, and purely alcohol drinking.  At times, an owner of a restaurant might change names and outside facade of the location, experimenting with what strategy brings the most customers, while on the inside, the events inside remain with moderation and accepted limits for anyone's religion.  The name of the location is not an excuse to allow our younger generation to be victimized to gun violence, nor subjects of mass shootings.

It seems that a wave of mass shootings since the event in Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh, are moving, perhaps, or perceived as what might be going on, an aspect thereunto, almost in a flow from East Coast to West Coast.

Veterans of the military that may be suffering from PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder, is a major concern.  It is understood, that a part of the warfare our soldiers are undergoing, generally time frame, in the past 20 years, is to condition them to have PTSD, and carry out acts of violence once they exit the military and return home.  Elements of suicide are included in this discussion.

Our US soldiers need to be taken care of when they return, and of course while they are in the military as well.  They should not be faced with constant emotional oppression from their neighbors and families.  It might seem like a frivolous matter, to allow a soldier to continue to go a few more days without the emotional support, psychological help he or she needs, for a few more days, especially if there are no major physical signs, such as a limb broken and they need to be admitted to a hospital, the reality is, those few more days, are the days where emotional build-up continues, and could be enough to topple over the breaking point of the soldier, and they do something dramatic, such as carry out a mass shooting.

Events that readily present themselves, are shooting that occurred in Texas a few years ago, involving a former soldier.
  • November 2017, first week, Sutherland Springs shooting
  • July 2016, within first eight days, shooting of police officers in Dallas
  • November 2009, major, and psychiatrist, performs shootig at Fort Hood

The shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, around this time of year, 2017, last year, at the music festival, was not too far from southern California, compared to for instance the East Coast.
 

U.S. Treaty of Amity with Iran 'Officially' Cancelled. Background Analysis.

October 3, 2018
News sources have sounded today that the treaty in 1955 of amity with Iran has been officially cancelled.

What all the implications are might take a few days for media sources to provide, considering there is likely a multitude of them, and what the future may hold not yet known.

Background about the whole matter might help in seeing where this is all heading.

Historically, Iran sits geopolitically next to Iraq, a region that coincides with the border between what is Arab and what is Ajami, the latter in context, not Arab, however, that is not to say that some who are Ajami have no Arab ancestry.

Arab and Ajami as a term to distinguish, has been around a long time, and is known for being found in literature, and plausibly used, to refer to shayuwkh, plural for shaykh, that attained renown heights.

Moving to centuries later, in the early 1940s, the Soviets or Russia interfaced with Iran, in what is commonly known as the Anglo-Soviet Invasion.

In the early 1950s, the Pahlavi was asserted as being in rulership.
The Shah of Iran as it was known, went on, meaning a continuation that there was a Shah of Iran, and is considered the last of these thus far.

In the late 1970s, Iran saw a change in power structure, moving from what was perceived by a large part of the world outside Iran, from a 'softer' rule in terms of strict Islam being enforced, to a 'harder' rule, whereat what was understood to be Shia accompanying the change and from that point onward.  Essentially, Ayatollah Khomeini was in power.

Shia-Sunni dichotomy became a strain on many in the Muslim World; tensions became amplified at times when the unrest was going on.

About 1980, the Office of the President was set up, established, in Iran.

About a year later, war with Iraq got underway, that went on for about eight years, winding down late summer of 1988.

The Iran Iraq war was also a strain on many of the Muslim World, because it involved two that are considered 'Muslim countries', whereat, Muslim tradition is when two Muslim parties fight, one of them is not Muslim.  Of course the war left the question which party was not the Muslim?

Near a year later, after the war wind-down, Ayatollah Khomeini, no longer, and en segue, Khameinei the recognized ruler.

Especially the last ten years, nuclear capabilities an issue with respect to Iran, as held by media, notably in the U.S.

The last couple of years, rhetorical heat has existed between the U.S. and Iran, in the framework of government representation.

Articles out today, that a treaty of Amity cancelled.

Technicalities of how the Iran to U.S. treaty all happens or happened, there is plenty of history studying to do.  Concurrent international relations science might complicate understanding what has occurred, and or, is occurring, but, probably does not make understanding impossible.

Concerns rise, when a trend of positions taken against the Middle East have occurred the past few years, where, thus far there have been two aerial strikes using weapons of mass destruction dropped in the Middle East, referring to Syria and Afghanistan.  Using weapons of mass destruction is differentiated from mass destruction being carried out; on the tranquil lense, huge masses were not lost.  

With a treaty cancelled, it removes that much more red-tape to make it easier for non-amity relations.

Amity defined is 'a friendly relationship or relations', usually in the framework of nations.

Pinpointing 1955, the year of the treaty, Pahlavi was in the leadership seat in Iran, and as far as drawing a contrast of positions held on U.S. support of Iran, in terms of what U.S. citizens saw on television and read in newspapers, the U.S. would be markedly in less support of Shia Iran that came about in the late 1970s, over the Shah of the 1950s.  The picture of Iran on television went from a pleasure location near Europe, laid-back, where folks could walk the streets in 'Western' clothes and casually walk into movie theaters, enjoy nice dinners at restaurants, to a place where women had to cover from head to toe, and some taken to be radical, were seen burning U.S. flags.  Reality might not have it that simple, yet that gives a brief sketch of what we are facing today.

The treaty of the '50s era, is now being cut in late 2018, almost 63 years later, while Shia is the popularly recognized rule system in Iran, and around 29 years after Ayatollah Khomeinei has departed.

Some say Muhammad the Last, and 'Blessed', Prophet of about 1400 years ago, died at age 63.  Where does 63 fit in here, as to maybe a good or bad number, and other questions in that 63 realm, when in that mode of conversation?

A few historical notes and details might be added to this HCN article and a later point


Headline Crest News comments:

We will refrain, partially out of respect for the long traditions of leadership of both the U.S. and Iran, from making statements that are disproportionately down-to-earth.
Rambling omitted, readers know what the blanks are to fill in.

The Iran of today, 2018, is not the same as the intense fervor Ayatollah Khomeini and those that were 'well intended to curb excessive decadence' brought to Iran back in 1979.  There is a distinguishment of curbing excess decadence, from terror, excess oppression, and radicalism.

There are developments in Iran, referring to post year 2000, that if brought before the Ayatollah back in 1979, he might have become so infuriated, his body temperature, respectfully stated, would have rose so high, it would be almost unheard of.

What this commentary is about in a nutshell, is the over-simplicity of setting a stage for something that has a suspicious smell to it, and using oversimplified black-and-white notions that have been glamorized and used as modern-day propaganda, that are so far past the days of antiquity it is laughable, extremely.

At the end of the discussion, just remember, there are Iranian Americans, or Americans of Iranian descent, from far back and recent, that have fought, and died, for this Country, the USA.


Boy under age 10 sits by his father in a laboratory class for PhD study, and listens in on lessons about how to balance matter, boy then comes to the house and puts a gigantic couch on top of the television to impress and prove to the guests how well the furniture has been balanced.  The guests open the door and see the madness.  The boy got some of it, referring to gaining knowledge while sitting in on his father's class, but not all of it.


1979 might have been a day in history regarding Iran leadership, almost 40 years later, things have changed there everyday; no silly math of putting together an equation that reads as follows, Shia plus terror in the 70s, plus nuclear discussion, plus Shia plus nuclear discussion post 2010, is going to fly among those with the most basic education as an excuse to start paving a way, a way that is only a notion of mind anyhow, for enmity between two nations with celebrated historic value.

Wildfires from Greece to California in July 2018

July 27, 2018
Some weather phenomena have been attested to occur, whether there is a moral story involved or not.  The Great Flood.  The Scream, or Sihr, reference to Arabic language traditions.  Floods occur today.  Severe wildfires that move at deathly speeds can occur.

What happened in Greece, it was about to be written on these webpages that those events, in the wildfires there over the past few days, might be warnings and an allowing for preparation for other wildfires of that magnitude to materialize in the future.  Perhaps the future is now.

Thus far two firefighters, or fire fighting related individuals have been deceased.  This is a serious sign because ordinarily firefighters are very well trained and high tech equipment; for one firefighter to be a casualty is an anomaly.

Accounts of firenadoes in the plural is also a sign that a phenomenon is occurring at a level that is beyond just wildfire season.

Viable help is needed now.

Locations of wildfires in Greece:
  • Kineta
  • Penteli
  • Rafina
  • Mati village

Locations of wildfires in California:
  • Carr Fire in Shasta County, California
  • Fires nearing Redding
