Of Gaslighting and Blame Shifting :: By Bill Wilson
The extreme left never misses a chance to use a crisis for political purposes. The tragic Los Angeles fires are just one example. Liberals are screaming global warming as the cause, even though suspects have been arrested for arson. News sources report the LA Police Department has launched an arson investigation and arrested an illegal alien homeless suspect near the Kenneth fire. Another suspect, 60-year-old Gloria Lynn Mandich, was taken into custody on suspicion of starting a fire and booked on a felony charge of arson. She is held on $20,000 bail, but People.com says she is not suspected of starting one of the major fires engulfing LA. Two suspects for arson, no admission of guilt.
The NY Post reports that the homeless man was riding around on a bicycle with a propane blowtorch, setting fire to old Christmas trees and garbage cans at about the same time the Kenneth fire started. Police, however, could not confirm the suspect was involved in arson but held him on another felony charge.
Meanwhile, the NY Times is guiding people toward global warming as the cause of the fire. The LA Times reported on January 10 that the fires “erupted following a stark shift from wet weather to extremely dry weather — a phenomenon scientists describe as “hydroclimate whiplash.” New research shows these abrupt wet-to-dry and dry-to-wet swings, which can worsen wildfires, flooding, and other hazards, are growing more frequent and intense because of human-caused climate change.”
The Columbia Climate School weighed in with a January 9 article: “In general, wildfires are something where we do see a clearer signal for the impacts of climate change. It’s pretty well established that we’re seeing increases in the frequency of wildfires, and that’s driven by an increase in droughts and a lot of other factors. There have been numerous studies in Europe, in the US, and elsewhere that show there’s that influence [from climate change], and we would expect that influence to grow.”
Of course, they do not mention how scientists at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU), the official source of global warming/climate change data, fabricated the data according to 1,079 emails and 72 documents from the CRU obtained in 2008 by the UK Telegraph. In the same year, 650 scientists refuted the concept of global warming.
This is no different than when there is a shooting, liberals cry out to ban guns—ignoring the choice and character of the one pulling the trigger. No different than limiting abortion will result in the deaths of many innocent women—ignoring that with abortion there is always the death of an innocent child. No different than demanding Palestinian rights when a terrorist kills people—ignoring the true motivation of Islam to exterminate all Jews and Christians. The gaslighting and blame-shifting is shameless.
Just as is written in 2 Timothy 3:13, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
They are and they do. Use God-given; Holy Spirit-revealed common sense to discern the words and deeds of these people.
