Dear Readers,

I originally sent this article as a ‘static email’ to subscribers that did not link to the Substack platform which caused some confusion. My apologies. Here it is in article format.

Please check back - if there are updates they will be here.

If you are in Western Australia, please use emergency service contacts and your own discernment, remembering that the same state government that brutalised you with mindwar and injected you with the ‘safe and effective’ is now running the emergency response. As always, calmly evaluate all information with situational awareness.

Everywhere is local, and as we know, life happens locally. For my readers in 75 countries I cannot really keep you ‘up-to-date’ as I do not have the resources to do this, but if ‘something’ happens I will let you know.

God Bless you readers.

Perth, Western Australia

Dear Readers,

The smell of bushfire is a common summer Australian scent – even when the media hypes it up, we are used to it. The backburning, the smoke. Usually well-contained, fires come and go. Sometimes a disaster, especially in mountain areas where there is one road in and out. Arson is almost a given on hot, windy days. We have grown to expect it, unfortunately.

I have been wanting to write a story about Lahaina – the fact that thousands of people can just burn to death, and it disappears from the media troubles me greatly (to put it mildly).

While I was busy writing your Thanksgiving message today a story was developing in Perth.

A Proclamation of Thanksgiving from President Washington to all the nations

I had been smelling the smoke all day and saw the billowing smoke yesterday in the distance. Again, a common sight, and I went about my normal business. I usually take little notice of media and government hysteria. Being in a digital prison contributes to this somewhat.

I had received a text earlier from the power company telling me to turn off my power but I was like “go to hell climate hysterics.” It’s 40C here today (104F) and I’m not going to sit in the heat so the Governor’s mansion can be cool.

However, I was speaking to a friend and she said: “they’re opening up the covid camps.”

Readers, that got my attention.

This is what it looks like right now in some Perth suburbs:

And this is what really caught my eye:

The Bullsbrook COVID quarantine facility opened for evacuees on Thursday evening

For those who are new readers of ExcessDeathsAU, please see this article about the Bullsbrook covid quarantine facility:

Australian genocide in progress?

And my back catalogue so you can get caught up on what the government did to us, the same government that runs the camp:

The battlefield, a body of work and the future of Substack.

Wonderful American reader

commented just today: “As I’ve always said, as goes Australia, goes us all. Those not paying attention to world politics do not understand the value of forewarning!”

So, here I am telling you that Perth is burning, and they are also opening up the covid camps. Do what you will with that information, although we could use your help keeping an eye on things here in terms of social media.

I do not know if the politicians are genuinely excited about using the facility to help people just for a few days, or if this is going to turn into something…longer term. However, I can tell you for certain, I will not be going to a camp.

God Bless you readers. Do not comply.

Yours Faithfully,

Update November 25, 2023

As you can imagine, I am well-prepared for things. However, yesterday I went and bought more fire extinguishers and heavy gloves just in case I saw spot fires bourne by embers or arsonists. I thought ‘this will probably be like covid and the toilet paper - better stock up on fire extinguishers!’

Because I am in a digital prison, I have been keeping up-to-date using this website which, let’s face it, is not as good as just looking outside and seeing the glow, checking wind direction or ringing your mates around the city.

When I checked the website I saw this huge red scary band over the eastern part of the city which I have never seen before and it says ‘STORM: TAKE ACTION NOW’:

So the next thing I did was check with the Bureau of Meterology app to see if there was any cloud cover indicating rain, and it is completely clear - no rain or cloud cover:

I let the satellite play out for -90min and +90min and there was no indication of rain or cloud. If you toggle around in the red band on the emergency services website, there are icons indicating bushfires, structure fires, back burning, park and trail closures, etc. which one would expect given the season.

In the ‘storm details’ (again from the Emergency Services website above) there is a prediction of high-speed localised ‘wind’ in the area:

a surface trough extends off the coast to the north of Perth combined with a large high-pressure system to the south will see a vigorous and gusty easterly airstream develop over southwestern parts of the state. Strong easterly winds averaging 50 to 60 kilometres per hour with damaging wind gusts of around 90 kilometres per hour are likely to develop over parts of the Lower West and South West districts late on Saturday evening, particularly over the escarpment and foothills. Winds are expected to ease below warning thresholds by mid-morning on Sunday.

This is not completely unusual given that Perth is located at the bottom of an escarpment and the flight in is always uncomfortable due to turbulence. It’s also hot here right now (as I told you above).

What worries me (and please do not panic) is thinking about the conditions before Lahaina. It was very dry, windy, powerlines went down, and there was a catastrophic emergency services..issue. Thousands of Americans - children died. Then, they put miles of black tarps up around the burn site and never talked about it again. That much we know for sure.

Please see this compilation article of 75 articles and videos about Lahaina from

The Power Versus People Paradigm

Of course I cannot verify the accuracy of the information, please use your discernment.

Lahaina: A Collection of Over 75 Articles & Videos

This article about Lahaina I found compelling, and it was from the mainstream media:

Those who disobeyed the barricaded road closures during the Maui fires survived the disaster, while many of those who heeded orders to turn around perished in their cars and homes with no way out

Those who disobeyed survived.

Again, use your discernment in these times. Pray.

God Bless you readers.

That’s all for now.

Update November 26, 2023

Hellstorm cancelled: Not today, Satan!

One of the things that has been very difficult to find in the media is an updated tally of the number of homes that have been lost to fire. Unlike ‘covid deaths’ there is no rolling update of ‘homes lost.’ I finally found this article after some digging, but it is from November 24, and I cannot find anything after this date. It is possible that there are articles out there, but I cannot easily find them, which is the tell.

WA Premier Roger Cook has confirmed 18 homes and 31 other buildings have been destroyed by the bushfire still burning in Perth’s north, and five more homes have been significantly damaged.

Along these lines Australian reader

Mark Hills

restacked my article and noticed the following:

this is a dire warning for Australia…Perth is on fire and there is bugger-all-next-to- nothing about it in the ‘news’.. ordinarily this would be getting run on repeat by the MSM channels, we all know how they love reporting on one disaster after the next;

when ya can hear nothing, not even crickets, ya know something is NQR.

Let’s check the Five Eyes national intelligence citizen notification system (Australian ABC) and see where they want your attention, and if there is anything about Perth:

Apart from a WA bushfire warning ‘banner’ at the top, there are no articles about what is happening in Perth.

The most important ‘news’ is about Gaza/Israel, so it looks like the spooks want your attention on that, and of course, fighting each other at home so we do not notice that they are looting the treasury.

There was one story on ‘mental preparation and disasters’ with a subset called ‘overcoming denial’ with tips on ‘facing up to reality’ - very rich given the ABC was the biggest pusher of the ‘safe and effective.’ (Into the trash it goes).

One of the things I need to impress upon overseas readers is that Perth is extremely isolated. To Europeans and Americans (Hawaii being the exception), our remoteness is almost unfathomable. To Perthians, the rest of the world feels…well…crowded. Even the East coast of Australia feels crowded. This article actually does a good job laying it out:

Then there is Perth, with a metropolitan area of more than two million people, way on the other side of the outback from Sydney, 2,045 miles away. Geographically it’s actually closer to East Timor (1,731 miles) and Jakarta, Indonesia (1,865 miles). There’s no city of comparable size anywhere in the world that’s so remote.

The nearest city of at least 100,000 people is Adelaide, a distance of more than 1,300 miles.

“Perth is so isolated that it is quicker, easier and cheaper to fly to Bali then to fly to the east coast. To drive to the east coast, you would cross the Nullarbor Plain, the world’s largest single exposure of limestone bedrock. It is a long, straight and desolate drive.”

So I guess what I’m trying to say is: if something happened and they wanted to cover it up no one would see it because we are so isolated. Then, we would be forgotten.

Also readers, I want to post some comments from the local rag PerthNow about the fires from this article. Remember that people can post anything and I have no way to verify the truth of these comments. I have decided to post them because there is so much censorship that we have no other way of getting out anyone’s voice to the world anymore. This is what happens when people cannot speak.

Please click on the X link to see a house in Perth burning down and here is the Perth now article:

Here are some of the comments I noticed (again, please use your discretion and discernment, I cannot verify accuracy):

Do not expect the government to save you, your survival is in your hands alone.

God Bless you readers. That’s all from me for now.

Update November 27, 2023

The West Australian newspaper has some fanstastic aerial photographs of the burn site from this article:

Readers, what is the first thing that you notice?

The lakes.

Perth is a city blessed with lakes.

A reconstructed map of the Perth Wetlands circa 1830, based on John Septimus Roe's map of 1834

From the West Australian Government Department of Fire and Emergency Services website:

DFES operates a sophisticated aerial fleet to respond to fire and other emergency incidents, supporting firefighters and incident managers on the ground to protect lives, property, and the environment throughout Western Australia’s bushfire season.

Readers, this aviation kit is amazing.

If we go to the Emergency WA website to check the burn area, we can see the lakes in the area even at a coarse level. There are large bodies of fresh water in all compass directions (circled in red) around the burn site:

I even found an amazing Facebook video from ABC Brisbane (overseas readers this is in the state of Queensland on the other side of Australia) of a helicopter using domestic swimming pool water with a bucket to put out fires.

Still from Facebook - ABC Brisbane.

Western Australia has a State Emergency Management Committee (SEMC) tasked with “arrangements, plans, training, education and sharing of information to prepare communities for a major emergency. It also includes the actions taken by individuals to ensure their own safety before, during and after an emergency.” 

What are we spending our money on? What happened to all the gear? Why didn’t they use the gear? How did the fire start? What happened at the command centre? What is the State Emergency Management Committee doing?

How did nearly 50 buildings burn down in a Perth suburb and no one is asking questions about the response and management?

The narrative from the media is that “firies are doing a fantastic job, everyone is doing a great job.” There is also the whiff of ‘it hurts and offends people especially our heroic first responders if you ask questions.’

Government management using the ‘feelings of first responders’ as a shield for their own accountability sounds…familiar. Therefore, we must ask questions.

Oh, well. It’s ‘Pride weekend’ in Perth and DFES is at the ‘Pride Parade.’ Stunning and Brave.

Update November 28, 2023

Dear Readers,

I do not know how many people are keeping up to date on what is happening in Perth, but I am faithfully documenting the situation just the same.

I want to provide some analysis for you. Remember when I said above that ‘Perth is a city blessed by lakes’?

The government messaging now telling us the fire is ‘under control’ but also will ‘be burning underground for months’:

From the article:

“We’ve had a little bit of light rain overnight but it’s certainly nothing that’s going to impact or suppress the fires that are going on, particularly around those wetlands and those peat soils in which the fire continues to burn,” he (DFES incident controller Clint Kuchel - Ed.) said.

Firefighters are working on fencing off the peat fires in and around Da Vinci Park and setting up sprinklers to prevent the spread of the fire underground.

Readers, there is a peat fire and it looks like all they are doing is ‘setting up sprinklers.’ Is DFES aware that peat fires emit potentially fatal gasses that need to be monitored?

From Environmental Protection Agency (Victoria): Publication 1831 February 2020

From the EPA Victoria fact sheet (above):

Peat smoke differs from normal wood smoke because of what is in the peat and how it burns. Peat smoke contains fine particles, water vapour and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a common pollutant and is a clear, odourless gas. Smoke and exhaust fumes often contain carbon monoxide. In Victoria, carbon monoxide levels are normally low in the outside air. Although carbon monoxide can affect your health, you’re very unlikely to experience high carbon monoxide levels in the outside air, even during a fire. High levels are much more likely inside, for example if you have a faulty gas heater. Carbon monoxide is measured as parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere. Health is affected when levels are above 70 ppm for an hour or more.

Why we measure carbon monoxide around a peat fire

Peat smoke can release larger volumes of carbon monoxide than wood smoke. When peat burns it produces gases that have a distinct acrid smell and can be irritating to your airways. More information about the effects of carbon monoxide can be found on EPA’s website. There are guidelines for outdoor work in areas impacted by bushfire smoke available on WorkSafe’s website.

I followed the link above “More information about the effects of carbon monoxide can be found on EPA’s website.”

You can experience serious symptoms from breathing in high levels of carbon monoxide. Unborn babies and people with heart conditions are at greatest risk.

High levels of carbon monoxide can cause ‘flu-like’ symptoms, including: headaches, tiredness, dizziness, nausea.

High carbon monoxide levels can sometimes cause unconsciousness or even death.

Here is a comment from a PerthNow reader from the original article (again, please use your discernment, I cannot confirm):

This is why monitoring gasses from peat fires is important, and there is an established body of research in this area:

From the above research article:

We find that PM_2.5 air pollution from peatland fires, causes, on average, around 33,100 adults and 2900 infants to die prematurely each year from air pollution. In addition, peatland fires cause on average around 4390 additional hospitalizations related to respiratory diseases, 635,000 severe cases of asthma in children, and 8.9 million lost workdays.

This is just one example, and of course subject to demographics, density, methods, and many other factors. The point is: peat fires near populations are dangerous, this is well-known.

Is DFES monitoring the gasses being emitted from the peat fire? Or are they just ‘setting sprinklers’ (as per communications from DFES incident controller Clint Kuchel) and calling it a day?

Again, we are not allowed to question the emergency response. The following will seem harsh but please understand this has no bearing on any of the firefighters risking their lives on the ground who are also suffering physically and mentally. Tying the government and media messaging to the ‘heroic first responders’ narrative is using the actual first responders as an accountability shield to shut down debate - Australians are falling into this psychological trap.

Do we implicitly trust doctors, nurses and ‘experts’ any more? Or do we now verify health information in the context of the situation? With the fire, I am suggesting we do the same.

These guys are risking their lives out there. What is going on?

Relatedly:

From the article:

The prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder in the WA police force is contributing to record numbers of officers quitting, the WA Police Union said on day one of its annual conference on Monday.

…record numbers of officers resigned from WA Police in 2022-23.

“This resulted in the worst attrition rate for sworn officers since 1969-70,” he said.

“The rate of sworn officers to population in 2022-23 was also the lowest in 10 years.

But do not worry, dear readers, they will soon be filling the ranks with foreign officers:

“There are 1480 UK, Irish and New Zealand officers who’ve applied, and we’re currently building up to about 440 at the Academy by January, and 1000 will be going through the academy over the next 12 months, growing the police force by 15 per cent above attrition.

God Bless you readers. Stay frosty.
