Guaranteed.
When you hear these firefighter's say these fires are exploding, they are not kidding. The folage has been saturated from chem trails for decades, Barium and Aluminum. They are fighting a metal fire not wood. BTW, Barium and Aluminum, periodic table spell, BaAl. Coincidence? …-

Also, the Lord told him to write a book.

I foolishly went on his twitter feed and got a headache from the stupid.
Marcus Ranum says
Barium and aluminum plus wood doesn’t make the wood burn better. Maybe some kind of oxidizer like a chlorate would but – shocking news: his pyrotechnic chemistry is wrong.
euclide says
It’s an old theory, which explains other things : https://xkcd.com/966/
Note that the number of the xkcd issue matches the twitter handle of this lunatic
coincidence ?
more seriously, this guy is next level nuts
rayceeya says
Wow, that’s some serious dumb for me to process at 6am on a Monday.
mcfrank0 says
Marcus Ranum at #2 — he’s not claiming that Barium and Aluminum are oxidizers, he’s claiming that the metals themselves are burning, an even more ridiculous statement! (“They are fighting a metal fire…”)

Does he know that lady with the lawn sprinkler?

mcfrank0: “he’s not claiming that Barium and Aluminum are oxidizers, he’s claiming that the metals themselves are burning, an even more ridiculous statement! ”
What are the odds that he, simultaneously, believes that “JET FUEL CAN’T MELT STEEL!!1!”?
numerobis says
Amusingly, it turns out that BC does spray its forests with the effect that they get more flammable:

Not that the spray itself is particularly relevant in terms of burning, but that they spray aspen, which don’t burn nearly as well as pine and fir. The reason: because pine and fir are more valuable as lumber.
Charly says
@numerobis, spraying forests with glyphosate so that aspens do not grow in there is a whole new level of inane on top of the old idea of growing only conifers. It seems that capitalism that values only profits and nothing else is really, really good only in one thing – destroiyng everything.
Aluminium is metal that does in fact burn in its pure form, if the surface are is big enough – i.e. foil or dust. Dust can even explode under the correct conditions. Hypothetically it could be dusted from airplanes over a bigger area, but given its density, it would be awfully expensive.
Barium is alkaline earth metal. It is very reactive and you would not be able to spread it in dust form, it would immediately oxidize upon release.
Akira MacKenzie says
The guys on “God Awful Movies” reviewed Taylor’s…ahem, biopic, “The Trump Prophecy,” a couple of weeks back. I assure you al, chemtrails is only the start of the crazy with this guy.
Akira MacKenzie says
Edit: I assure you all…

I knew it, the Goa’uld are at fault!
willj says
Not quite sure what you mean. An Mg fire working with stupid machinists? Keep sandbags around. I’ve heard of a titanium fire too. Pretty scary.
Porivil Sorrens says
What a silly conspiracy. As we all know, forest fires can’t melt steel beams.
monad says
Aluminum and Barium spell AlBa, so what did Jessica do?
Crip Dyke, Right Reverend Feminist FuckToy of Death & Her Handmaiden says
@Monad:
Alba means “white” and is the root word for “Albion”, meaning that the center of these fires is the fabled perfect homeland for white supremacists. Do you doubt me? The Elbe river is “the white river” and was one of the goals for the Soviet Army, and is now for the Russian Army. Would a preserver of white civilization like Putin accept the Elbe as any kind of goal – final, intermediate, or otherwise – if it wasn’t the “white” river?
Clearly all white supremacists should head to the center of the nearest out-of-control wildfire right now! or else risk the tears of Baby Jesus and the dominance of ${latest racial bogeyman} for ever and ever and ever.
nomadiq says
You can’t spell God or Jesus with the chemical element abbreviations, proving all chemistry is evil. Further proof: you can spell Allah with Aluminum, Lanthanum and Hydrogen.
I expect a huge twitter following to manifest in minutes.
Bruce says
This guy probably looks at a salt shaker and fears a sodium metal fire. Amusing.
