What Did We Learn From Lahaina?

So now that Lahaina has been sealed off from the rest of humanity, let us take the time to consider exactly what occurred. Everything from DEWs to arson to blue lasers and more have been suggested; but what really matters is what happened, not how it happened, and why.

The first and most important takeaway from this ordeal is that “our” government just showed us they are perfectly capable of building a wall and securing it, given the proper motivation (which in this case is some of the most prime real estate on Earth). That is foremost. They can keep anybody out they want, in no time at all. (And notice this did not happen in, say, Gary, Indiana, or Chicago, by the way.)

THEY PUT THESE UP IN HOURS. THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE.

The second issue of importance is, what happened to the school children who were sent home? Did they walk, or were they transported in a bus, as school kids often are? Let us have a look at that:

There was a total of 47 schools in Lahaina; 16 preschools, 6 Elementary Schools, 4 Middle Schools, 3 High Schools, 4 public district schools and 14 private schools. Lahainalua High School, as well as most others, are located on a stretch of Lahinalua Road, which is well away from where the town itself was devastated. Curiously, or perhaps not, is this headline from Fox Weather (https://www.foxweather.com/lifestyle/hawaii-wildfires-maui-schools) on August 15:

Most Maui schools to reopen, while Lahaina elementary school ‘damaged beyond repair’

Again, since the Elementary and most other schools in Lahaina, who were far enough away from the fire, escaped major damage, why is the Elementary School the one irreparable? A crucial piece of evidence, suspiciously missing. And that is not even considering the other pertinent question: what about the buses, did they transport kids or not, and if so, where did they take them (as they obviously could not go into Lahaina)?

WHERE ARE THE KIDS?

(Could it be that Elementary School-aged children are the most vulnerable to child predation and satanic cults? Surely not — that’s just crazy talk. The Who, which includes the convicted child paedophile Pete Townshend, assured us long ago “The Kids Are Alright.” Nothing to see here, move along.)

The third consideration of import: the “perfect storm” of incompetence which seems to be a commonality of all these happenings. Any one of us who performed our jobs in such a deplorable fashion would be terminated with prejudice; yet the Governor, the Mayor and even the police chief still have chairs to warm. This was so ham-handed they apparently had to call in the same guy who was responsible for the fiasco in Las Vegas a few years ago, just to ensure they had the right guy in there.

At no time does any city undergo the loss of its power, water and mobility, unless the agencies who handle such things are commanded to stand down — what this says about the implicit people who follow these directives is another matter entirely, though one which ought not be forgot — and let it all burn. As we have heard so many times in the past, “I was just doing my job” is the unifying phrase when events like Lahaina and Nuremburg occur.

(If I was “just doing my job,” our streets would be safe, my children would grow to be men and women, and our elected officials would be answerable to the people they supposedly represent; but I’m an Entitled White Christian Male. I’m not allowed to protect my community.)

Has it ever occurred to anyone that the people in Lahaina who had children may have been ransomed by the government in order to procure the respective families’ silence and/or compliance?

Again with that crazy talk!

Lastly, the glaring white elephant in the room: a few elites, like Oprah and The Rock and some other notable million/billionaires who own huge tracts of Maui land, and whose land escaped unscathed from the obliteration, are now acting like they care about the indigenous Hawaiians who lived on Maui for generations, asking for donations to help them.

Please read that absurd paragraph again; let it percolate.

Multi-milllion/billionaires, who could take in those families they profess to care for and give them a place to live while their homes were being rebuilt — it’s not like they don’t have the land for it — and actually assist the natives, are instead using their celebrity media status to ask us non-glitterati to send money. I just can’t.

How about, instead of taking my sucker money, I volunteer to join a group of people who might go to Lahaina and be of service to those in need? Oops — I forgot! Nobody’s allowed in there but government types. And I would be shot if I tried to argue about it too long.

https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-1240w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2023-08/230810-maui-fires-before-after-mn-0940-15c48d.gif

SO WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE US?

It leaves us right here: we do not have a government, we have a collection of self-appointed elites who have complete control of our taxpayer-funded defense contractors, military and economy, who may at any time use the superior weapons at their disposal to enact environmental, societal and/or financial chaos as they see fit. Lahaina (and Canada) has shown to us all that when these people want something, they will kill anyone or thing in their way by hook or by crook, and then go have a massage with a happy ending. It is a painful reality that if we ever do try and unseat these satanic creatures they will hurt us in ways we never thought of; but they need us, at least those of us not in places like Lahaina, because without us they are nothing.

Honestly, WOPR in “Wargames” told us precisely what we need to do: The only way to win is not to play the game.

Resist them; tell them no; and the worst thing of all you can do, ignore them, and live your life and take care of your family as best you can.  As we were meant to live according to God.

They can burn us out here, temporarily — but where they are going it is them who will be burning eternally.

The black fencing; just how did a local govt so quickly, determine it was “needed”. Then, contracted for the purchase of the black material, metal poles, retention clips, misc. Then, they needed the equipment and personnel knowledgeable enough to install it and do the actual installation. All this was contracted for, delivered and installed in mere days to an island half way across the Pacific ocean?

Not sure whether or not you comment is sarcasm, but the government is like any other (successful) organization when it comes to being competent. It is very competent when it is pursuing its own interests. But it does not do a good job of pursuing the interests of the public at large. This is usually attributed by the public to incompetence, but it is not incompetence – it is indifference. The government just doesn’t care about you in most cases.

This is related to an erroneous belief known as Hanlon’s razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”. This is used by many people to dismiss “conspiracy theories” because they claim the government is incompetent rather than evil. But in actuality the government is usually evil and/or indifferent rather than incompetent.

The important phrase (and the part always ignored by the sheep) is “adequately explained”. The sheep seem to think it should read “ALWAYS explained”. Sure, the Maui fire disaster could be explained by stupidity if it were ONLY the water turned off. Or ONLY the sirens not working. Or ONLY the road closed, etc. But when there is a long chain of actions all pointing toward the same end, that is not stupidity; that is purpose.

Yet another fire based ritual sacrifice.

Like the Haitian earthquakes, we will never know how many of these children perished in the fire or whether they were kidnapped with this chaos as a useful smokescreen. Hard to believe all these parents would stay quite if their kids were MIA; which makes me think either the numbers are totally faked, or the true death toll is orders of magnitude more severe than they’ve admitted.

Indeed CO, the answers to these questions go from bad to worse. Incompetence does not explain this, as they are more than competent when it comes to keeping people out or shutting down honest reporting.

The Route 91 connection is just the cherry on top. You know that police chief is read in.

The blackout fence is the same tactic they used in Vegas after the Harvest festival shooting.

But regardless of whether the fire was started by DEWs, plain old arson, downed electrical lines, or something else, the subsequent actions and cover-up by the authorities (blocking roads out of Lahaina, not sounding the warning signals, shutting off the water, putting up fences to hide their activities, etc) provide enough evidence to suggest the fire was deliberate, and there certainly needs to be an objective investigation into what happened. But there won’t be. They will cover up everything, and they will attack everyone questioning the official narrative by using trolls like you.

Ask any fireman (or pyromaniac – not mutually exclusive); fire, like lightning (and electricity in general) often acts in confounding ways.
Even modelling combustion in controlled environments like an ICE piston is inherently difficult. If you want some mind-bending studies, take a dive into combustion dynamics.
Once a flamefront develops, managing it and directing the burn is no easy task especially without direct fuel delivery control.
Many a professional pyromaniac and even more professional firemen fall victim to underestimating an inferno’s behavior…

what about the buses, did they transport kids or not, and if so, where did they take them (as they obviously could not go into Lahaina)?

I was under the impression that the schools were closed before classes started, which would have left the children home alone (if both parents worked outside the home) with no one to guide them to safety. Regardless, they either burned to death alone (or with their parents). Someone who lived there testified that a family of 4 was found all together burned to death. This probably happened a lot more than we know, either in their cars or houses or on the run.

It’s absurdly dry where I live in Missouri and hotter than normal for this time of year. Windy today. But we have wells and springs everywhere. I do believe they intend to eventually burn or flood or maybe have a train carrying toxic chemicals spill causing evacuations to remove as many rurals as they can.

That when someone’s pet “truth” is shown to be completely false, they will simply ignore that and carry on spouting more BS, ignoring that they were totally wrong about the previous BS.

From the article

As the scale of the human loss emerged last month, activists came forward to tell the story of the water rights of Native Hawaiian, which they were in the process of reclaiming.

The deadline for submitting water rights was Aug 7; the review of permits was set to begin the next day. Fire broke out on Aug 8. And on Aug 9 Hawaii governor Josh Green issued an emergency proclamation suspending the water code, and the requirement for commercial users to leave at least some water in the streams for community use.
Coincidence, perhaps. The people had just won a court case against a major land owner who was diverting water to hotels, golf courses and the multi-million dollar mansions, namely Alexander & Baldwin, whose chief shareholder is BlackRock.
