AUSTRALIA:  If you look at my past Pacific Ring of Fire postings you’ll realize that the U.S. and Aussie militaries conduct disaster training operations through out the year.  The question I have is why does the deployment of the Aussie military, during these unprecedented fires, seem so ineffective?

Here’s an economic reality check to Australia’s disaster preparedness: 70-thousand Aussie firefighters are not paid, not even for food or fuel!!!

Apparently humans should be blamed for the unprecedented fires because they were operating under the same bogus ‘save the forest’ mentality as the U.S.; don’t touch anything and let everything grow unchecked (the natives in the U.S. didn’t do that, that’s why the landscape seemed so pristine to the invading Europeans): There’s only one way to make bushfires less powerful: take out the stuff that burns

U.S. taxpayers send Aussie Prime Minister a model boat!

Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison is now the modern day ‘Nero that fiddled while Rome burned’, regarding his slow response to the unprecedented wildfires (even being on vacation!) during the Gregorian month of December, 2019.

Three months prior, in September 2019, the U.S. Secretary of Defense ordered the Office of the Curator of Ship Models at Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division to build PM Morrison a model of the USS Canberra, as a gift!

Apparently the USS (United States Ship) Canberra-LCS-30 (not to be confused with USS Canberra-CA-70) is named after the HMAS (His/Her Majesty’s Australian Ship) Canberra, which was sunk by the Japanese during World War Two.

The Office of the Curator of Ship Models at Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division was given short notice of the taxpayer funded build, only a few days, so they had to modify an existing model of the USS Independence-LCS-2.

Hope the Aussie PM is enjoying his U.S. taxpayer funded model boat.

Australia is part of the British empire, commonly known as The Commonwealth of Nations, or more simply The Commonwealth.  This includes many countries that have falsely been reported as ‘gaining independence’.  The current Queen of England is the boss.

Merapi erupts

More proof that you must not rely on the government and/or private sector organizations; a year after a September 2018 tsunami “…the government reported that 4,140 people died in the disaster, of which 1,016 were not identified; and a further 705 people remain missing. More than 4,400 were seriously injured and more than 110,000 houses destroyed….. more than 172,000 people were displaced…. …170 organizations were or are carrying out recovery activities across 63 location….   … is encouraging the community to actively take ownership and be more involved in repair, recovery and reconstruction efforts.”
