There are no lanyards high enough nor any millstones heavy enough.

Yeah, but everything now isn’t about what caused what. Everything now is all about ‘climate change’, which is phony.

> The truth is that they are indeed caused by human beings, but due to malice (arson), incompetence (of power companies and government officials), and mismanagement (failure to manage land properly). <

Yes. But unfortunately, a sizable percentage of Americans (50%+) will hear none of that. Instead they will be told that Climate Change is to blame. And so we must pour even more money into fighting a threat that doesn’t even exist.

Such is the power of propaganda.

Good Lord. It is an island. It is surrounded by water. They should’ve already figured out a large desal plant or something

“The Maui fire is proving to be the worst wildfire in American history,...”


Hardly. Not even close. It might be the worst in the 21st century. Do these writers believe that nothing happened before they were born?

The Maui disaster was 100% caused by human failure

I'd say "they" SUCCEEDED.

There is video of a powerline going down and starting the fire. The fire dept shows up and puts out the fire then all leave. The fire reignites and I do not know where the fire dept was at that time. Maybe other fires as other power lines are going down. The winds were fierce so probably no way to put out the fire at that point.
I have seen brush fires here in California when the winds will send sparks miles away to start new fires.

Water was not released due to the sacredness of it.... until too late.
No sirens went off as those in charge thought people would run into the hills. No they would as they would have seen the fire.
Only 58 out of 70 sirens when tested months ago worked.

Only 2 ways to get out by road.
No warning at all to residents.

The billionaires wanted Maui.

The serfs wouldn’t sell

So, the billionaires went Ghenghis Khan

And, police blocked a road leading north and directed the evacuees toward the waterfront where the fire killed them.

One guy jumped the barricade with his vehicle, went north, and survived.
