More than 1,000 people are reported missing in Maui three weeks after catastrophic wildfires destroyed the town of Lahaina.

Maui Police Chief John Pelletier said that law enforcement plans to release a verified list of people who are unaccounted for in the coming days.

Law enforcement has located 1,400 people so far out of an initial number of 2,500 people reported missing.

The police chief said he cannot guarantee the remains of everyone who perished will be recovered.

Would that surprise anybody?

I don’t know if that was the reason the fires started, but it could be a case of, “never let a crisis go to waste”.

As long as you’re vaccinated and masking up, you’re safe. :)

Let’s see. Oprah has a huge property in Maui. It’s been said that Oprah was a “madam” for Epstein. There’s something sick, sleazy, and probably criminal going on there, I’m afraid. Maybe she needed to replenish inventory.

The philosophy that guides the democrat party has led to the murder of hundreds of millions of people. A few thousand dead kids won’t stop their perpetual revolution.

The town was ignited by a “fast moving brush fire” but the town was burned down in a fire storm. It’s like saying an incendiary bomb only burns for 15 minutes so there’s no way it could cause a 12 hr. firestorm.

Matches can’t burn down a building. Jet fuel doesn’t melt steel. etc.

Who know, maybe all the people ran out into the fields and actually did die in a “fast-moving brush fire”?

So those burning homes were not hot enough? You see those homes burned to ash? It was like a crematorium in some areas. They might find charred bones.

Maybe those cadaver dogs will get some hits.

The mayor refuses to answer questions about the death toll.

It’s completely insane that the government is only giving Hawaii residents whose lives just went up in flames $700 but is paying $1,000 PER NIGHT for FEMA officials to stay in 5 star resorts.

Are you stating that Maui was set on fire for the purpose of stealing children for a global pedophile ring?

Absolutely NOT! That is not what I'm saying, nor is what I intended to imply.

Do you think traffickers and pedophiles are above not letting a disaster go to waste?

See also: Haiti and Hillary.

How hard would it be for someone skilled in the art to tell a traumatized and disoriented child wandering the ashes, 'I'll take you to your mommy, just get in the van'?

That's what I can't help but wonder happened.

I also fear it's more likely that the school administrator didn't have permission to release these 650 children from class, and there they still are.

So sue me for thinking the worst of some people.

We must emphasize the children that are missing. Won’t happen. The rats are the ones who have convinced us the adults don’t matter.

They're working on trying to convince us that children don't either.

Talk to a mortician.

A mortician will tell you that after a cremation the bones remain recognizable and must be ground before being placed in an urn.

I'm not a mortician, but I have with my own eyes, in person, seen very recognizable bones in the cremains after removal from the cremation chamber.

They are using that exact wording about the Wildfires in central Canada as well. Almost like it’s being co-ordinated.
