Canadian Inferno: Why has Fort McMurray, Alberta, been Surrounded By an Apocalyptic Conflagration?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


TMR Editor’s Note:
Post-modern society is notorious for not connecting the dots.  Rarely does anyone in government or the corporate sector life ever correlate the environmental catastrophes or public health disasters with societal behavior.  As a matter of fact, both entities can almost always be counted on not to accurately determine the root causes of the latest calamity.

Be aware that the out-of-control wildfire at Fort McMurray is a truly apocalyptic event.  The photos posted in the article below well capture just what ‘Firegeddon’ looks like.  Nevertheless, no one will ever stop to ask the $64000 question: Why did this unparalleled cataclysm happen there … and happen now?
Good questions, aren’t they?

First, it’s important to understand that Fort McMurray is the largest city located in the Athabasca oil sands as seen above.  As follows:

The Athabasca oil sands (also called the Athabasca tar sands or Alberta tar sands) are large deposits of bitumen or extremely heavy crude oil, located in northeastern Alberta, Canada – roughly centred on the boomtown of Fort McMurray. These oil sands, hosted primarily in the McMurray Formation, consist of a mixture of crude bitumen (a semi-solid rock-like form of crude oil), silica sand, clay minerals, and water. The Athabasca deposit is the largest known reservoir of crude bitumen in the world and the largest of three major oil sands deposits in Alberta  (Source: Athabasca oil sands)

For those who are uninitiated in this realm of the Oil & Gas Industry, the commercial development of the Athabasca oil sands in Alberta represents the greatest ongoing environmental devastation in Canadian history. Truly, the Canadian people have been terribly misled by those oil sands development companies which have carried out the wholesale destruction of that unique region of western Alberta.  The topography there has been forever altered just as the wildlife habitats have been irreparably destroyed.  More importantly, there seems to be no stopping the whole misguided project … until now!

The only remaining question is whether the ‘arsonists’ are working for the Global Warmers or Mother Nature herself or both?  The preceding map shows precisely where this fire has burned throughout the entire outskirts of Fort McMurray.  Why has this inferno hugged the greater Fort McMurray area so tenaciously?
Much more importantly, why has this area of Alberta had so many problems with arson over the years, especially arson fires started by volunteer firefighters?  Are the firefighter arsonists moonlighting — unwittingly, of course — for environmental groups?  Or, are they carrying out orders from agents of the NWO cabal promoting Global Warming?  Perhaps they’re just not happy with the massive tar sands development projects tearing up the land?

Regardless of who is really responsible for this fire and why they did it, there are many strange circumstances which surround this citywide catastrophe.  As usual, there is virtually no possibility of ever hearing the truth from law enforcement or government about what really happened at Fort McMurray.  It seems that the perps are never caught, and for very good reason, if the usual suspects are behind this conflagration.

The entire population of the Canadian oil sands city of Fort McMurray, Alberta, has been ordered to evacuate as a wildfire whipped by winds engulfed homes and sent ash raining down on residents.
More than 80,000 residents have been ordered to flee after an earlier order that had applied to almost 30,000 people, mostly on the city’s south side, was extended to tens of thousands more as flames continued to make their way into the city Tuesday.
Residents were panicked. Highway 63 is the only road out of the city and flames jumped the road.
The wildfire, whipped by unpredictable winds on a day of high temperatures, worsened dramatically in a short time and many residents had little notice to flee.

‘It was absolutely horrifying when we were sitting there in traffic. You look up and then you watch all the trees candle-topping … up the hills where you live and you’re thinking, ‘Oh my God. We got out just in time.”
The main road into Fort McMurray, was closed at the southern entrance to the city after flames jumped the road. Pictures posted on Twitter showed long lines of traffic and skies darkened by thick smoke as flames licked the edges of roads.
Fort McMurray is the capital of Alberta’s oil sands region. The Alberta oil sands are the third largest reserves of oil in the world behind Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted that he spoke with Notley and said the federal government stands ready to help. He urged residents to follow evacuation orders.

Officials were also evacuating non-essential staff at Suncor’s base plant. It is 18 miles away and one of the closest facilities to the city. Spokesman Paul Newmarch said evacuees were moving into the plant’s work camps.
Will Gibson, a spokesman for Syncrude, which also has a plant north of the town, was himself one of the evacuees heading north away from the flames.
Gibson said he had to flee his neighborhood via a grass embankment because the fire had already cut off the road at both ends.
‘I left my neighborhood and there were houses on fire,’ he said. ‘I don’t know if and when I’ll be going back.’
The large work camps can normally accommodate thousands of workers.
Crews had seemed to be making progress controlling the blaze, burning since the weekend, but the situation worsened quickly on Tuesday. By mid-afternoon people from three neighborhoods were told to leave immediately

      This must be propaganda, trying to blame environmentalists for the fire. If environmentalists wanted to destroy the oil industry they would have set the oil wells and equipment on fire, not the nearby town of Fort McMurray.

      This article was written to distract people from learning that there is a GIANT Islamic center in Fort McMurray to accommodate the thousands of muslims that are living there. YES! Wrap your heads around that little detail! Why didn’t this article mention it?

      Looks like Saudi Arabia is controlling BIN as well as Fort McMurray.

      The Green Blob pushes for “let forests be natural” but doesn’t seem to get it that the natural state of forests is burning…indeed many trees need fire to reproduce.

      If you put the fires out, you must do logging and thinning or fuel builds to very UN-natural levels. Ban logging, and put out fires, eventually the fuel load is so great it becomes an unstoppable monster, as we are seeing in Alberta.

      The first thing that happens as the forestry budget is cut is that forest maintenance, particularly fuel reduction burns are done far less frequently. This reduces cost but results in a major intensity increase in the energy a fire generates. Once a fire generates its own weather (wind) it is exponentially harder to stop. This is what devastated Canberra a few years ago. Do the back-burns and forest fires can’t get to that sort of energy level, don’t do then an eventually a firestorm is going to happen. Of course such high energy fires kill forests while low intensity fires renew them.

      Also if you live in the “Bush” you need at least 200m of relatively clear space, not to eliminate the ember rain, but rather to allow you space and time to mount a defence, by damping down everything. Some green dominated councils in Australia took that down to 6m – No time or space to mount ANY sort of defence, lots of people died as a result.

      More ‘Green’ madness -
      a farmer was jailed for storing rain water on his property for the purpose of fighting fire. In the classic Catch 22, he was told he was responsible for all fires on or around his property, but then could not store water (rain water, remember), because said water was ‘property of the state’.
      He chose to keep water on his property, apparently believing that his life and property was worth protecting from fire, and he was convicted and sent to jail.

      a more pertinent question is, NOTICE first they take out Venezuela and NOW they try to take or control the Canadian oil, WAKE up people the NWO wants to control the world and there are TWO ways to control the people, HE WHO controls the OIL OR the food will control the people!!

      Or could this possibly be a natural forest fire with no conspiracies? It has been extremely dry in this area with little snow pack and unusually warm and early spring weather. Forest fires are a natural occurring event and are actually a natural part of forests. Not every thing is some nefarious conspiracy theory.
