Have the Maui Wildfire Coincidences Migrated to Los Angeles?

After the first set of terrorist attacks started off the year, we are now faced with the next incident, this time in Southern California (this year is going to be intense). So far, the three main wildfires of Palisades (Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles), Hurst (Sylmar neighborhood of Los Angeles), and Eaton (Altadena region outside of the city limits), as well as a few other fires in the area, have destroyed 12,300 buildings, killed twenty-four people, and displaced 105,000 people (the numbers will most certainly increase as the fire spreads). California is an area where wildfires are expected, but just like with the Maui wildfires in Hawaii, there are some things that just simply do not add up.

For starters, similarly to the Maui fires, utility companies did not cut the power lines, as is customary before strong winds and during fires; and this almost certainly contributed to the inability to contain the wildfires quickly, thus leading to worse conditions than would otherwise be the case. And, gee surprise, the investor-owned (private) utility companies have a system in place that preemptively cuts off power during these situations, but the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (city- and government-run) does not have such a mechanism. It is argued that it is not needed in the city because there are fewer power lines and the needs of the government and other services trump the small risk of a large-scale fire starting, but yet, clearly the incompetence of government was on full display for us all to see. Southern California Edison (private company operating in the areas of the Eaton and Hurst fires) claims that it shut off power to certain areas, but insurance investigators are prepared to show evidence that that did not happen. Regardless, the Palisades fire seems to be the worst of the three, and the question remains as to why Los Angeles officials (and possibly state-granted monopolies) put the citizens’ lives at risk for their own selfish purposes.

It was not just the lack of procedures in place regarding the power lines that were the problem. No, in fact, the water reservoirs and fire hydrants were also not working properly (again, just like in the Maui fires). Back in February 2024, the California government had the brilliant idea of releasing billions of gallons of water from local reservoirs in order to ensure that water levels did not break the dams and flood local communities, and why would you expect such flooding in warm areas prone to periods of drought? What this ultimately meant is that the dams were not at a reasonable capacity to battle wildfires, even though the state knew that wildfires would be likely.

There was also the issue that water capacity needed to be maintained at certain levels in order to protect wildlife, such as the Delta smelt and salmon, and this may have also caused the shortage of water seen, though it is unknown if this would have actually changed the dynamic in the wildfire incident. Regardless, we should rest easy because Governor Gavin Newsome said that water levels are “well-equipped” to aid in battling the fires, even though, at this point, the fires are hardly even close to contained. But hey, Donald Trump and conservatives should stop playing politics and spreading “disinformation” about California’s incompetence in fire management, even though the Democratic leadership has clearly not been able to effectively halt the spread of the fires (do not believe what your eyes see, but rather, believe the lies of government officials).

Moreover, we saw the fire hydrants run out of water and not have enough power to function properly, and the high demand on the system caused low pressure, which meant that firefighters had even more problems getting the water to come out. Additionally, a large water reservoir that would normally provide water for the Pacific Palisades neighborhood happened to be out of service for repairs at the time that the fires started (how convenient), and then, the electricity needed to be turned off in order to not cause additional fires, so the fire hydrants had no power to work or water to draw from (the power lines were not cut in the beginning, of course, but then after the fires were already spreading, it was decided that power needed to be shut off so that the hydrants could not work).

Then, Oregon sent firetrucks into California to assist, but they became subject to testing and repairs before they were allowed to continue to engage the fires. It only took about twenty minutes to pass the tests, according to Oregon firefighters and officials, and then, the engines were on their way (rumors of being required to pass emissions tests were seemingly false), so this online rumor of delays did not seem to have a whole lot of merit.

And, where was Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass while the fires started blazing across her city? Oh right, she was in Ghana (West Africa). She is being criticized for budget cuts to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), and although those cuts in funding were supplemented with increases for firefighter salaries and new trucks and equipment, Fire Chief Kristin Crowley stated that cutting the budget and overtime for employees put the city at a disadvantage when it came to preparing for the current crisis.

This comes as California has neglected its forests for years and has “prioritized fire suppression over prevention,” which has clearly not worked. California can be dry and stricken with drought and high winds (especially the Santa Ana winds), and as a result, fires are inevitable. Brush under the forests needs to be cleared regularly to prevent the risk of igniting, but the California government has argued that because of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Clean Air Act (the CAA prevents a certain level of particulates, including those from smoke, from entering the atmosphere and reducing air quality), the state is not permitted to engage in controlled (prescribed) burns without gaining approvals through the review board (this can take up to seven years). Therefore, environmental regulations, in part, have contributed toward the devastation that the people of the Los Angeles area are facing. However, these regulations do not stop the Department of Environmental Conservation and other agencies in New York from lighting up the forests and burning the undergrowth to prevent widespread fires, so it is suspect that California is using this as an excuse to not do anything with its forests.

Then, of course, you had State Farm Insurance cancel the homeowner’s insurance policies months prior to these fires because it was financially costly to cover people in high-risk areas where fires were too likely to occur and because state regulations were too burdensome. This caused many people in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, which was one of the areas that insurance companies left, to have to seek new insurance options or join the California FAIR Plan, which was a state program created to cover people from fire damage in areas that insurance companies abandoned due to wildfire risk and costly regulations (the state failed to maintain forests and put in regulations that drove out businesses, and now, it has to find other options to keep people insured). Did State Farm know about the upcoming wildfires, or was it a coincidence that it withdrew its policies right before one of the largest wildfires in California’s history?

So, just like with Maui, there was a perfect storm of coincidences that a reasonable person should start asking whether this was really an accident. If all of these disaster happenings were really just coincidences, you would expect, based on probability, that something would go right once in a while, but all you hear about is one issue after another that leads to death and disaster. At the same time, it seems that the wealthy elites and corporations always end up profiting and using the tragedy for opportunity, so you start to wonder if certain people want these tragedies to occur for their own benefit.

One of the political goals of Democratic officials is to ensure that employees of government are diverse and reflect the racial makeup of the country, rather than focus on competency and who can actually do the job properly. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies were reflected in the LAFD by Deputy Chief Kristine Larson and her Equity and Human Resources Bureau. Liberal and progressive commentators either misunderstand or mislead their audiences by saying that conservatives criticize these policies because they do not want black or gay or lesbian people working as firefighters (or at other jobs), but that is not at all the case or the point. Larson specifically said, “You want to see someone that responds to your house, to your emergency - whether it's a medical call or a fire call - that looks like you” (someone who is of the same race or sexual orientation). In other words, to the LAFD, the most important thing is not rescuing people or saving structures. No, it is whether there are enough racial minorities and homosexuals on the force so that people can feel emotionally and socially safe when their homes are burning down. She reiterated this point when asked about how a woman was to pull a man out of a fire by saying, “He got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.” So, let the men stuck in fires die because we need to make sure that there are more women firefighters, even if they are not strong enough to actually do the job competently. Liberal officials would rather score political points with the voters and minorities by making the firefighters diverse than actually accomplishing the goal of saving people, and they want to let the men figure out how to get out of the fires themselves (even though men are contributing to the taxes that the government uses to fight fires).

DEI policies were not the only political motivations behind the Los Angeles wildfires and failure of government. In addition to California building a new high-speed rail project (from Sacramento to San Diego) and needing certain buildings cleared by either eminent domain or “natural” fires; Governor Newsome has raised some controversy with his comments about “organizing a Marshall Plan” to create “LA 2.0” in the wake of the wildfire disaster. With homes and businesses in the path of the fire destroyed, California politicians are free to rebuild certain areas in their preferred image ahead of the 2026 International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) World Cup, the 2027 Super Bowl, and the 2028 Summer Olympics. The pesky peasants’ homes will no longer stand in the way of erecting new stadiums and hotels to accommodate these sporting events.

In addition to major events upcoming to Los Angeles, just like with Maui, the city is set to become a new smart city, which has the goal of integrating new artificial intelligence (AI) into the city systems (including response and emergency services) and monitoring and tracking everything in order to find the best solutions to problems that arise. Although such services seem promising and beneficial on the surface, do not forget that with these modern conveniences comes the loss of freedom and the ability of the government to surveil every aspect of citizens’ lives. When privacy disappears, government control increases, and in order to implement a smart city, new infrastructure needs to be built in place of the outdated buildings. Could it be that the wildfires were started intentionally in order to clear the land in preparation for Governor Newsome’s “LA 2.0?”

To the average naïve person, it may seem incomprehensible that the government officials that we “elect” to serve us and the bureaucrats who work day-to-day operations to implement services would have sinister intentions, and in some ways that may be correct. In most cases, the psychopaths who truly run the show must rely on flawed systems and grunts who have no idea that what they are doing is leading to destructive and detrimental results in order to carry out their goals. For example, firefighters on the ground are simply battling the blazes and do not realize the politics behind what they are doing. California bureaucrats are working at their desks trying to implement environmental policies or regulations on businesses that they genuinely believe are helpful, when in reality, they are being used as pawns in the larger game. Compartmentalization ensures that people know just enough to do their jobs and not enough to understand the sinister intentions behind these things (need-to-know basis). Therefore, it is possible for the Los Angeles wildfires to be intentionally set to bring about certain agendas without the majority of those participating realizing the full picture.

Of course, the corporate media and government officials tried to lay blame for the wildfires on their old faithful issue: climate change. However, given the fact that California has neglected its forests for years, released water from reservoirs and did not have working fire hydrants, did not cut the power lines when it should have, and chased out insurance companies due to regulations; even the average person is not being fooled by that excuse. You cannot shift blame from California Democrats and their failures onto climate change, especially being that California has been known for wildfires even before the fossil fuel “crisis” began. If the government cannot be prepared for something that occurs naturally and often, the problem is with the government itself, not any external factor. At best, this showed absolute incompetence of government, and at worst, it showed sinister intentions by powers beyond the government.

As detailed above, there are motives for the intentional blazing of Los Angeles, but in the last several days there have been strings of arrests where police physically caught people trying to start fires. Although arresting a few people for arson is not enough to conclusively claim that the fires were started intentionally, it is something that should be under consideration. Were these arsonists hired by an organization or government to conduct covert operations to get the flames going?

There is another possibility, though. As I have stated in the past, the Department of Agriculture put out a report in 1970 called “Forest Fire as a Military Weapon,” where the government documented ways to intentionally dry out forests in order to make them susceptible to fires under the right weather conditions (like drought and Santa Ana winds?) or to start fires through covert operations. Doing this would allow for a cheap way to weaken the enemy and cause destruction in the target area. Was the enemy in this case the citizens of California?

There are new and sophisticated ways to do this now, as Lockheed Martin has partnered with the Department of Defense (DoD) and Office of Naval Research (ONR) to create laser-weapon technology. Additionally, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have teamed up with the DoD to invent new directed-energy weapon (DEW) research programs. These weapons would have the capability to start wildfires from the air by directing energy toward a spot on the ground. At this time, we cannot prove that this is what happened in California, however, there were reports of mysterious objects flying in the sky (and captured on video, and even cameras on live television). People claimed to have seen white “orbs” and “drones” around the affected area where the wildfires began. This brings us full circle to where we were at the end of 2024: plagued with mysterious drones lighting up our skies. Were the objects part of an experimental weapons program that can be used to initiate “natural” disasters? Was the technology tested out in New Jersey, then New York, and then other areas, before making its way to California to wreak havoc on the population? If that is the case, nobody is safe, as the government could destroy anyone’s home from the air, and there would be nothing that we could do to stop it (shooting at the drones and defending yourself would land you in jail).

2025 has been a crazy year already, and we have not even gotten through the first month. What is happening in California is just the beginning of what we will see in the upcoming months, as the elites struggle to maintain power in a world that seems to be shifting in the direction of freedom and the will of the people (just look at the resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the cancellation of the election results in Romania because anti-globalist and right-wing leader Calin Georgescu emerged victorious, the victory of libertarian Javier Milei in Argentina, and the right-leaning swing occurring in elections around the world, in addition to the reelection of Donald Trump). It could get ugly at times, as a dying beast will not go out without a fight, and there are no guarantees that the people will overcome the system in the end (plus, who knows if Trump is ultimately a wolf in sheep’s clothing). With that being said, we need to cling to the principles of freedom and never stray from them, even if politicians that we like veer from the path. Los Angeles may be a victim of the deep state, but there are many other areas that we can still save, if we stand up to tyranny and say enough is enough.
