-----Original Message----- From: NewsHawk Inc. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, 12 May 2000 03:42 Subject: Los Alamos Burns To Ashes In Fire Set By Gov't 5.11.00 Los Alamos Burns To Ashes In Fire Set By Gov't Los Alamos, New Mexico, and nearby White Rock are literally burning to the ground. The towns, comprised of over of 18,000 people, are primarily populated by those who work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, are going up in flames as of his writing. The laboratory itself has also been scorched and is likely to suffer severe, extensive damage from the fire. Now here's the "interesting" part. This fire was actually set by the government: according to news reports from the area, it was ignited as a "controlled" burn by the National Forest Service last week. Now just a minute. Tinderbox drought conditions in this region of the country had ALREADY been responsible for a number of severe blazes in New Mexico and neighboring Arizona in the past couple of weeks. And these Einsteins go out and set a supposedly "CONTROLLED" fire, only miles from a national laboratory with nuclear and other massively toxic materials all over the place! Does something seem just a LITTLE bit wrong with this picture? It sure as hell does to me. Here in the coastal mountains of northern California, for example, a good deal less flammable than the semi-desert area around Los Alamos by ANY measure, a controlled burn would NEVER be torched off in such prevailing drought conditions. Was the forest service perhaps manipulated into setting off this blaze by some unseen agency, for the very purpose of incinerating this entire area to ruble and ashes, INCLUDING the laboratory? And, there's another related angle to consider. In August of 1995, wildfires of unprecedented ferocity consumed thousands of acres of pine woods and brush on Long Island--in close proximity to Brookhaven National Laboratories. Although rumors held that the fire was started by either a careless hiker or by an arsonist, information brought out by independent investigators on Long Island revealed a VERY different story. Information brought out by these investigators and made public in our report: "Montauk Air Force Station: Active or Not?" showed that the PRIMARY blaze in this area, known as the Westhampton Pine Barrens, was set off by malfunctioning top-secret particle accelerator/particle beam systems equipment, located near Brookhaven National Laboratories UNDERGROUND in the surrounding pine woods. Although various theories to complicated to go into here do exist as to WHY the ultra-classified equipment went haywire, there is little doubt that this IS in fact what happened. Secondary blazes WERE in fact set by covert operatives to provide a "smokescreen" as to the real causes of the original fire. It seems at LEAST a possibility that something similar has occurred at Los Alamos, especially when one factors in the extremely peculiar--or is that stupid?--action taken by the Forest Service in igniting a "controlled" burn during the exceptionally dry conditions which have been prevalent in this near-desert region. I would say there is a strong likelihood the National Forest Service was prompted to set this blaze near los Alamos National Labs to cover up SOMETHING perhaps, as at Brook haven National Labs in 1995, to cover up a fire started by malfunctioning particle accelerator/particle beam equipment. NewsHawk® Inc. +++++++++++++++ + + + + + + + + WIRE:05/11/2000 06:23:00 ET Los Alamos burns, thousands flee LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) _ A firestorm swept through the abandoned streets of Los Alamos today, burning at least 100 homes while frustrated firefighters ran short of water and were forced to retreat. At least 18,000 people were evacuated from Los Alamos, including 7,000 in suburban White Rock this morning, where many evacuees had once sought safety. "We weren't ready down here. We were the refugee center for our friends," Kirk Christensen said as he and his wife loaded their camper and headed into a sea of cars crawling down the highway. They were headed for a friend's house in Santa Fe, to camp in the yard. No injuries have been reported, but President Clinton declared New Mexico a major disaster area. At the storied Los Alamos National Laboratory, for the first time shut down by fire, flames singed a research building but it did not ignite. Explosives and radioactive material were protected in fireproof facilities, lab officials said. "We can assure the country and New Mexico that our nuclear materials are safe," said Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, a former New Mexico congressman. The fire was set by the National Park Service a week ago to clear brush, but it quickly flared out of control, racing through stands of ponderosa pine as it grew to more than 4,500 acres. Winds gusted to 50 mph Wednesday and forecasters said they could increase today to 60 mph. Los Alamos, 70 miles north of Albuquerque, is essentially a company town for the federal lab. It sprang up in the 1940s as the base of operations for the Manhattan Project, which built the atomic bomb. There are still military barracks and military-style housing in Los Alamos, along with relatively upscale, newer developments. Neighborhood by neighborhood, the town burned Wednesday. House after house filled with fire, glowed like jack-o-lanterns, then exploded in pulsing orange flames. Just after sundown, flames marched to a tree-covered ridge overlooking downtown, lighting the night sky. Residents of the community built on nuclear research starting fleeing as winds rose in the afternoon, hurling flames into tinder-dry, tree-filled residential areas. Police, sheriff's and fire department officials went door to door among Los Alamos' 6,000 households, telling people to get out. "This is the first time I felt fear," said Jaret McDonald, a 28-year-old resident who has been evacuated from his home because of fires three times before. "When you're against Mother Nature, you can't contain it. You'll lose every time." As evacuees fled to shelters, hotels and motels outside Los Alamos, firefighter Sam Schroeder stood outside one flaming home on Sycamore Street. "This is bizarre _ this house won't be touched," she said, pointing to the house next door. "This one will go all the way to the ground." The fire was too dangerous to battle head-on, firefighters said. They pulled back as flames advanced. Firefighters even had to move their command post. "This fire's got a mind of its own," county spokesman Bill Lehman said. Firefighters were reluctant to back off, Lehman said, but "there was just nothing we could do, because of the wind." "We are in a retreat situation," he said late Wednesday. Water-dropping helicopters and airplanes dropping pink fire retardant bombarded the blaze, hoping to narrow its westward and northward thrust. About one-third of the 10,000 residents in western Espanola, in a valley 10 miles below Los Alamos, were advised to evacuate voluntarily, Espanola Mayor Richard Lucero said. The Los Alamos laboratory declared a general emergency at 11 p.m. Wednesday, saying there were grass and brush fires at three of its research facilities. Its weapons-engineering tritium facility at Technical Area 16 was swept by fire, but the masonry building was left intact, lab officials said. Public Service Company of New Mexico has shut off natural gas service to the lab, which was closed for the fourth straight day today, along with public schools and county offices. James Lee Witt, Federal Emergency Management Agency director, planned to tour Los Alamos today, along with Richardson and New Mexico's U.S. senators, Jeff Bingaman and Pete Domenici. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
