Since the wildfires (which, in my California childhood and girlhood, used to be called “forest fires”) broke out last week in Los Angeles, I have been living in a kind of anguish. It is not, of course, thankfully, the material agony faced by the millions of people now in a hellscape that used to be a paradise, or the unimaginable agony faced by the tens of thousands who have lost their homes and belongings.
Mine is an intellectual misery, rather, as I watch something unfold that is clearly, to me at least, the latest Pearl Harbor in our history.
It is so clear to me that events in Los Angeles constitute an attack that is part of a war. Pearl Harbor was the second attack on our homeland since the War of 1812; 9/11 was the third; and the Battle of Los Angeles is the fourth.
In order to make that statement, I have to explain again what a war is. Since April of 2020, when Brian O’Shea first explained to me “unrestricted warfare’, that Chinese Communist concept and goal, and that the CCP makes war in ways with which Westerners were unfamiliar, I have been persuaded by his argument that we are under attack unconventionally from multiple directions.
To recap: “unrestricted warfare” is a method of degrading the resources and morale of the enemy so thoroughly, bit by bit, that a shot need not be fired.
Brian gave me a dramatic image familiar to China hawks, in explaining this concept: we in the West expect to see war as an invasion or a bombing attack or to see enemy boots on the ground. We expect armies in uniforms on a battlefield, facing off.
But the goal of “unrestricted warfare” is to surround the enemy...

Thanks for posting. HOORAY Naomi Wolf! BTTT

Naomi is always kinda verbose, but she is smart and her heart is in the right place.
I think she is dead on. The entire situation is crazy. Makes no sense. I just read another article written by an air firefighter who said they are not accustomed to being called to duty in the US in January. Chile, Australia, yes, not in the US.
There is no way that there are only 24 deaths.
Very important article. Bookmarked and shared with close friends.
It’s a multi-front invasion and our ‘leaders’ have been on board with it for quite some time.
The Enemy Within...God help us!
She forgot fentanyl. It kills 100,000 Americans per year and is made from precursors exported from China. I have read that those exports qualify for subsidies from the Chinese government. That is an act of war.
To recap: “unrestricted warfare” is a method of degrading the resources and morale of the enemy so thoroughly, bit by bit, that a shot need not be fired.
Read it slowly and let your lips move. Read it again. Post it on your wall.
It still amazes me how effective the media is, even here on FR, in accomplishing their goal.
Fires are normal for us. There was not much that could have been done with 80 mph winds. Santa Ana winds are normal for this time of year but they don’t usually get to 80 mph. I live in an extreme fire hazard area of Los Angeles on purpose. It is illegal to put low income housing in an extreme fire hazard area. There are fires from the homeless everyday without exaggeration within a 1 mile radius. Fire helicopters patrol the area constantly.
Unlike a hurricane or war that Naomi mentioned, with an earthquake or fire you can easily drive out of the disaster area.
This is just mismanagement. Environmentalism gone wrong. Both Bass and Newsom claim global warming, that should give you a hint they are ignorant.
Brush should have been cleared on the government property adjacent to these homes.
If they couldn’t get a guarantee that brush would be cleared on government property, building permits shouldn’t have been issued or the housing lots should have been big enough to provide the 200 foot dry vegetation clearance.
Fire breaks wouldn’t have worked in winds that high but sheep, goats and cattle grazing on government land could have kept the vegetation low.
Water rationing prevents us from growing lawns, the homeowners planted flammable trees and shrubbery.
Electric cars and energy storage was a big mistake.
Plastic water pipes in a fire zone is a big mistake.
Allowing second and third houses on a single family lot is a big mistake.
Where I live we have anti-mansionization laws. We can’t build a house that takes up most of our lot.
California taxes CO2, manufacturing moved out. Manufacturing gave jobs to people of every skill level. Now we have the homeless.
We've all watched Cali fires on TV our whole lives but those were forest fires that might take out a few rural homes. This is different. This is suburbia burning. 10,000+ structures. With homeless constantly starting fires, how hard would it be for a nefarious character to start fires strategically and purposefully to burn the suburbs? Then it simply gets blamed on the homeless.
This is just mismanagement.
Caused by those in charge in Cali, many of whom, like mayor Bass, a trained marxist, could quite possibly be mismanaging purposefully. That is war. This whole Critical Theory that has radicalized so many university students, is war.
And spell check wants me to capitalize marxist. That is war. As Alex Jones says, there's a war on for your mind.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Huhhh!!!

but the metal power poles that were fire and wind safe would have...
..and the econazies stopped them from replacing the 100 year old dry as a match wooden poles
cuz of an “ endangered “ plant.
( sorry to nit pick , your post was really good over all )
I found this online. I don't know how accurate it is, but it looks like the winds do happen in January. It's just that the fires usually happened earlier. Since they didn't happen then, they're happening now.
jan is the dead of winter.
ive also seed evidence of the hurricane that tore up n.Carolina was also geo engineered in its path and intensity
its also addressed in the vid i posted. .
i stand corrected
thank you
i live way up north so the only time i heard about the santa anna winds have been the fall time fires.
Wildfires Serve Geoengineering Agenda
