1. Gotta wonder if the Harris Fire was more voter intimidation

Pols who wanted to allow Blackwater in facing recall. Ballots and voting by mail due to the rural nature of the area. People have to go to the post office to get mail. (For you city kids, there are some of us who do not get mail at our doors. Our doors are far apart and we have to pick up our mail ;) ) The Post Office gets burned out.

Mighty curious to my cynical old eyes.

Whent the winds of Oct come, there is always fire in Calif. Sadly, those fires are often started by people. There are often serial fires started. What an interesting cover for any attempted intimidation of a local population that may be annoyed at the prospect of such horrible neighbors as Blackwater.

Gotta consider the possibilities. And winning through intimidation is how these guys have played all along. Blackwater has been given permission to shoot to kill Americans in the past. One might consider they think laws and people are of no consequence.

I rule nothing out and do send the people of the Potrero area my very best wishes and prayers.

3. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Blackwater had set that fire themselves.

4. If they had done that, they may have started others as cover

And we all know they have done some really bad crap. Not like it would be out of character, despite what the 'you're a paranoid nut case' crowd wants us to think.

5. This article says that the post office in Potrero was not touched by the fire

6. That's good. And not what eyewitnesses reported the other day

But, eyewitnesses are not always as accurate as media.
