War is the intentional, directed, organized controlled killing of an opponent to bend him to your will that inevitably gets out of control because the opponent declines to bend to your will and decides killing you back is a better option than the options you have given him.

An interesting article.

Notice how it was the cities under far left adminstrations who suffered the most during the BLM riots and destruction.

It doesn’t have to all be coordinated to have the same results.

Those who wish the USA to be destroyed as an entity have the same playbook. They just follow the nihilistic playbook.

She’s gone out there into conspiracy land over these fires. I cannot say with 100% confidence that she’s wrong though based on the craziness of the past several years.

It is interesting that both Maui and LA made smart city plans within the last few years and both burned. Also interesting that Newsom recently mentioned EOs being written for recovery and “land use” on a podcast a couple of days ago. Also interesting that many in the Palisades lost their home owners coverage a few months ago and that there was brush build up and that the hydrants were dry. That’s a lot of irony.

OK, I went and read most of the article. Dr Naomi Wolf is one of the reasons I dropped out of college. She was required reading in the 90’s. I failed Womens studies. Im glad she has switched sides but I am still pissed at her. It was an interesting rant of hers. Maybe post more of the article... for the Freepers that wont click on it.... but I dont know if you can per FR rules.
Thanks For posting it.

In the 1964 movie of H.G. Wells First Men in the Moon the Moon being asks the scientist from earth “What is war?”.

Oh my goodness... Well... it usually starts with a whacking great explosion.

Joseph Cavor : Yet to fight in a war is considered an honor. Well, it’s difficult to explain, but men who are killed in battle are heroes. That’s odd, isn’t it?

The Grand Lunar : Men enjoy to make war?

Joseph Cavor : No. No, they detest it!

The Grand Lunar : Then if they make war, they are defective.

Joseph Cavor : Well... well, we’re not perfect. Well, mankind is still developing. We’re not, we’re not perfect. There are men of peace.

The Grand Lunar : My concern is with the men of violence, the men who kill. Soon others will be coming from Earth. Our galleries will be strewn with dead.

Leftists can’t be out of our misery so easily. Still around sniffling.

Would it be interesting that Mayor Karen Bass spent a considerable part of her life with an organization that teaches, recruits and promotes terrorism and guerrilla warfare?

1Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?

2You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war....

Learned that already and it reminded me of a clip of ValJar saying about self proclaimed communist, Van Jones; “We’ve had our eyes on him for years”. Where did ValJar go anyway? Last we heard, she was moving in with the Obamas in their DC place back in 2017. Probably still there, part of the Biden shadow gov, a continuation of the obama admin.

Yes, indeed!

All of what they do falls under the rubric of the Cloward and Piven Strategy.

Mayor Bass’ background lends heavily to the speculations that intention was involved in this disaster.

I don’t know if this is war or not, it was Emerson’s view of war:

“War educates the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the physical constitution, brings men into such swift and close collision in critical moments that man measures man.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
