Is 'Climate Fear' to Blame for Maui Wildfires?

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/24/2023 10:32:14 PM

Climate experts hosted a media call Wednesday to discuss the tragedy of the devastating Maui fire—and how government’s negligence and obsession with the “climate change” hoax created a situation ripe for disaster. The call featured Gregory Wrightstone of the CO2 Coalition, H. Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute’s Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy , and Trump transition team member Steve Milloy of JunkScience. They discussed dishonest media, government negligence, climate change obsessions, and the Lahaina fire. Despite 50 years of failed predictions, climate alarmists are more blinded than ever. The experts agreed that government accountability, starting with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, is necessary.

No. This fire was set. The intent was to burn down the town and kill as many as possible. Climate had nothing to do with it.

No. Klaus's arsonists are to blame. Why? To further strengthen Klaus's and the left's climate change narrative. They are playing for keeps. Or so they wrongly think.

I like this article because it summarizes my own viewpoint rather nicely, that incompetence, strongly abetted by the fantasies of leftist ideology, were the main forces driving the disaster. I'd also give a hearty nod to poster #2; I also think there's a strong chance the fires were deliberately set by eco-warriors. Now, this is not to rule out some of the more extraordinary explanations that are currently circulating around the internet, but only to say that the PJMedia article seems to me to describe the most probable chain of events. My motto is "Never be too quick to ascribe to conspiracy what can be explained by mere stupidity. I'd have to say, though, that some of the actions taken, such as blocking the exit roads, seem to demonstrate a degree of stupidity that can only be described as "monumental"; but then, this is Hawaii.

There are hardly any fires in the western US at this time. There has been adequate rain over a huge area mitigating the risk. Even the reservoirs are filling up again. Oddly, the media has focused only on the small island of Maui to prop-up the climate agenda.

I don't believe the conspiracy theories on this one...sadly, it was sheer incompetence driven by political appointees who works at the altar of climate change. The reason we aren't hearing more about in the media is that there is not one Republican official to be found in Hawai'i and sadly, no Republican in the White House to blame. Remember Katrina people, remember Katrina. What did the media do? They blamed Bush immediately, even though the state of LA and city of New Orleans were run by Democrats. Just like the incompetent official who decided not to sound the sirens (or any emergency system), Mayor Nagin left the buses sitting idle and ignored his own emergency management plan. The conspiracy is not "who set the fire" but who created the conditions for the disaster.

The delusional 'Climate Change' is really just the latest---and most successful ever!---of H.L. Mencken's 'hobgoblins' used by ruthless, scheming politicians. The aim being to terrify the populace, and herd them to the benevolent tyranny of those same treacherous SOBs.

STORY: "It is the Fed’s job to bring inflation down to our 2% goal, and we will do so," Jerome Powell on Friday delivered an assessment that many may not have wanted to hear: The Federal Reserve may not be finished hiking interest rates. Speaking at the annual Jackson Hole Economy Policy Symposium in picturesque Wyoming, the Fed chairman said that as long as interest rates remained above the central bank's target 2 percent, the fight wasn't over. However, he promised to proceed "carefully." "Although inflation has moved down from its peak -- a welcome development -- it remains too high.

There has been a lot of speculation about the cause of the Maui fire, which has been called the worst wildfire in a century, with at least 115 dead and more than 1,000 still missing, including many children. Democratic Gov. Josh Green immediately blamed global warming and then subsequently said climate change played a role. However, there were witness accounts and videos that show the likely cause was fallen electrical lines and poles that ignited dry grass. Multiple lawsuits have already been filed against Hawaiian Electric. The company allegedly knew that there was a risk from fires for years but then didn't remediate the issues while they were undertaking a "state-mandated

Feds Hit SpaceX for Hiring Americans Over Migrants 21 replies

The Department of Justice is suing Elon Musk’s SpaceX for not hiring migrants before Americans — but is also ignoring many hiring managers who discriminate against Americans. President Joe Biden’s deputies are “bullying employers who are trying to do the right thing — avoid hiring illegal workers — and are ignoring employers who are flagrantly discriminating against Americans,” said Jessica Vaughan, the policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies. “They’re working harder to give illegal aliens access to jobs than they are to give to protect Americans’ access to jobs,” she said, adding,”This is entirely consistent with the approach of the Biden administration to tip the playing field

Former President Trump on Thursday posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, for the first time since January 2021 to share an image of his mugshot following his surrender in Fulton County, Ga., on Thursday evening. It was the first time Trump posted on the social media platform since his account was suspended shortly after the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol. Trump was known during his 2016 campaign and his first term in the White House for using Twitter prolifically to share everything from jabs at his political opponents and to announcing major decisions out of the White House.

As Donald Trump was being booked and processed for a fourth time on a fourth indictment, this time in Georgia, old social media posts of DA Fani Willis emerged. What they contained provided a view into the rabid partisan nature and hypocrisy of the prosecutor now trying to put the former president behind bars. Specifically, multiple posts show Willis spreading conspiracy theories about Georgia's elections. She even went so far as to claim there were "water leaks" during the 2020 election counting in Fulton County, suggesting that ballots were being thrown out.

During CNN’s live coverage of Trump’s motorcade to the Fulton County, Georgia jail for the former President’s arraignment on Erin Burnett OutFront, fill-in anchor Kaitlan Collins and correspondent Sara Murray fretted that Trump would use his new mugshot “to his political advantage” and fundraise off the photo to help his presidential campaign. “Trump himself has been not downplaying this. I mean, he is certainly seeing how he uses these exact moments to his political advantage,” Collins kvetched. Murray then jumped in to agree that Trump “uses these for fundraising, he uses these to rally his base.” Due to this, she openly regretted the plan to release Trump’s mugshot.

Former President Donald Trump was booked in the Fulton County jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday on felony charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. This is Trump's fourth indictment this year, but it's the first time he's had his mugshot taken. Fulton County authorities are taking mugshots of all 19 people charged in the case, including Trump's lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, and his former chief of staff Mark Meadows. The Fulton County Sheriff’s office released Trump's mugshot not long after he left the jail. The former president was released on a $200,000 bond.

A district judge appointed by Joe Biden has ruled that parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, have no right to opt their children out of the school’s woke LGBTQ curriculum. United States District Judge Deborah L. Boardman ruled against the Muslim-led group of parents who did not want their children exposed to far-left propaganda about sex and gender. The parents sought an injunction before the first day of school on August 28 after the district changed its policies in March to no longer allow parents to opt their children out of being assigned books that advocate pride parades, gender transitioning, and pronoun preferences for kids as young as pre-kindergarten.

But there is one problem with that argument. According to reports, the entrepreneur was already a multi-millionaire when he took it.

Despite years of Biden family and media disinformation, we are finally learning that President Joe Biden really did fire Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin for looking into state corruption involving the oil company Burisma and Hunter Biden -- and ultimately Joe Biden himself. As vice president, Biden, in his own words, bragged that he had threatened to cancel the deliverance of American foreign aid to Ukraine unless Shokin was dismissed. So what is Congress to do now -- un-impeach and exonerate an innocent impeached Donald Trump, and instead impeach a guilty Biden for essentially the same allegations?

Leftist politicians rarely tell the truth. Their policies and ideals are so bad that they can't, and they know it, thus the nonstop hyperbole, grandstanding, and projection. It's infuriating that so many Americans either are unable to see this, thanks in part to a complicit MSM, or so blinded by their ideology that they choose to ignore the fact that they get endlessly played by those they keep electing. As with any good totalitarian leftist regime, gun confiscation is at the top of the leftist wish list. It's much easier to institute control and compliance over an unarmed citizenry than it is an armed one.

Shokin, who was ousted as Ukraine's top prosecutor in 2016, made the accusations during excerpts of an upcoming explosive interview airing on Fox News. At the time of his firing, he was investigating oil company Burisma Holdings for corruption - when Hunter was serving on the firm’s board.
