The LA Fires: Karma, Retribution or Agenda 2030?

Original Article

Posted By: vrb8m, 1/12/2025 9:44:17 AM

Like everyone I am horrified by the devastation in Los Angeles. The scale is beyond imagining, and the incompetence of city and state government so blatant, they will all need close security for the rest of their lives. Of course people are pointing to the Olympics in ‘28, and the inclusion of Los Angeles in the Smart Cities transition which basically means monitoring your very outbreath. Easier to do with fewer residents. Just build thirty-thousand high-rises, and house the cattle to be monitored and monetized.

Fascinating and terrifying at once. I believe every word of it.

Don't talk to me about incompetence, this is totally intentional and part of a larger plan.

“That makes you vulnerable to divine retribution. Read Revelations 18, the correlation is eerie.” If a person puts an “s” on the end of the name of the last book of the New Testament, it tells me that while they might like to quote from the Bible, they personally don’t spend much time reading it.

She lays out the whole sordid truth in typically well-researched fashion. Mark my words, Blackrock will swoop in when the fires are over. There are no "conspiracy theories" any more.

This is the kind of stuff that makes the right wing look crazy. Stop. Just stop it. We have seen plenty of times in the past when some crazy homeless person or incompetence at PG&E (the power company for most of the state) started a fire. That fire grew huge because this blue run state has not allowed cleaning up dead brush for decades and stomps out every tiny natural fire that would normally clear it out without a huge fire. Simple blue woke idiocy easily explains everything. Stop with the crazy conspiracies. Enough. Do not spread this garbage. The blue woke leaders in California have only themselves to blame. Do not give them an out by believing silly nonsense about Blackrock conspiracies. Just stop.

Decades of terrible forestry standards and horrible water management caused this. Whether a power line or some crazy homeless person with a blowtorch starting this, I do not believe these wild ideas of this being a "plan".

I am not an Elizabeth Nickson fan. I find her too clever by half and annoyingly indirect and coy. That said, where interests collide there is no need for a conspiracy. Hegel’s observation that history repeats itself first as tragedy and second as farce may well be applicable in this case. Californians, from the governor right on down to common laborers, know that wildfires are a statewide plague but absolutely predictable and devastating. As cynical as leadership in the California is today, is it too much to believe that some cooperation between greedy businesses and corrupt officials could be working hand-in-hand? The idea of herding people into overly populated clusters very close to city centers is not new. When developers drive the PCH and see miles of single family residential coastal homes on prime land, which could be turned into high density cash cows, is it beyond imagination that they would lobby for ways to destroy what already exists to clear the way for themselves? This has happened before and the precedent was upheld in “Kelo vs New London.”

The Santa Ana's have be problematic forever. I'd like to know why Newsom and Bass thought it was okay to slash fire fighting budget and left reservoirs empty. If we get that question answered, we'll know a lot more about the intent. Regardless the radical left screwed up.

7, it is -easily- explained. There are almost always multiple fires. It's called copy cats. It happens almost every time there are big fires. Stop it. There is no conspiracy here. Blackrock is not sweeping in to steal land from all these mega wealthy people. Stop sounding crazy. This has to be a leftist troll meme to make conservatives look dumb.

Nutjob arsonists and/or eco-terrorists, sure. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Blackrock and greedy real estate developers eager to ruin property and thousands of lives to make a buck? Please. The 2003 San Diego Cedar Fire that wiped out my old neighborhood and many others (2,000+ homes) was started by an idiot rookie hunter who got lost and lit a "small fire" in Santa Ana wind conditions to direct rescue teams. No Blackrock connection noted.

The sheer volume of negligence, callous disregard for human life, non-management, and shifting monies needed for basic fire safety away from their intended purpose to DEI programs deserves a full scale massive investigation. Should some nefarious personages and their equally evil intentions get unmasked, mores the better.

Looks like #5 need #10 may need some smelling salts. Someone calling out "conspiracy theory" when things are so obvious just serve to be more proof that the "theory" is actual truth. I read Elizabeth Nickson's articles and they are well researched. This one , as others say, was long but VERY informative and actually did a great job of tying together a lot of happenings that I and many others on here have been noticing. "Conspiracy theory" is the conspiracy.

We can all benefit from embracing the power of "and" when it comes to the question of causation of these, and other disasters, like the fires in Maui. There is no doubt that Southern California is, in fact a desert, with rainfall averaging under fifteen inches annually. The Santa Anna winds are also something that have been in existence since well before the area became populated. Historically, fires burned millions of acres annually, but since few people lived there and the ones who did could move by simply pulling up their tent stakes, it was not a problem. Then people noticed how nice the climate was, and started moving in, until millions of them were packed like sardines (the non-endangered kind) on land that was never designed to accommodate that many residents. All was relatively well when the government acted in the best interest of the citizens by building water projects and clearing tinder on a regular basis, then the woke eco warriors decided none of that was socially virtuous. Things then deteriorated rapidly and it was inevitable that massive fires would occur on a regular basis. Instead of looking at the real reasons for the problem, from the over-population and absence of rational water conservation and fire prevention/control programs, the left wing morons and the politicians they empowered have decided to deflect blame by pointing at the shiny squirrel, "global climate change." The fact that they have continually changed the name of this non-existent phenomenon is telling to anyone who looks at the situation objectively. But that's asking a lot of people whose brains have been rotted out by drugs and woke school curricula. So there is plenty of blame to go around and the causes of the disaster are multi-factorial, but include predatory land grabbers, both public and private and politicians whose only interest is retaining their death grip on power.

I suspect there were some discrete smiles at the coastal commission. If I (and mel gibson) are right, there will never be any more houses on the west side of the PCH.

13, this is the first article of hers I've read. I have no idea who she is and don't care. The article is a long list of anecdotes about places around the country where water is being mismanaged. That's it. There isn't a single word in there that provides even a hint that this is some Satanic/Luciferian (her words, not mine) plot to make Blackrock rich. I didn't even see a BR reference or anything about anyone getting rich. The article is about how greenies are in control of natural resources such as water, because greenies hate people. That's it. There is not a hint of conspiracy in her article. If I'm wrong, please provide a quote from that link where she goes into detail of this conspiracy. I'll wait. In the meantime, the fires were so terrible and are caused by all the things us Californians have been aware of for decades: terrible forest management policies and incompetent blue/woke government. That's it. No Satanist plot is required to explain all of it quite reasonably. Please stop pushing dumb conspiracy stuff. It makes conservatives look insane and puts off potential converts off. If I was a leftist this is exactly the kind of crazy stuff I'd put out there to make conservatives look crazy.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who will now be forever known as the weirdo who ran with Kamala Harris in 2024 and failed, is now endorsing gun control activist David Hogg in his bid to be vice chair of the Democratic National Committee.

It’s not clear how having David Hogg in a leadership position would do anything to help fix this problem for them. None of that seems to matter to Walz, who believes Hogg will provide the ‘courageous leadership our party needs right now.’

I was surprised, if not shocked, when two A-list celebrities, country singers Garth Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood, took the microphones at the State Funeral for Jimmy Carter yesterday and began performing “Imagine,” written by former Beatle John Lennon in 1971. The song is widely described as an “atheistic anthem” and incredibly is said to be one of the late 39th president’s favorite songs. "Imagine there’s no heaven It’s easy if you try. No hell below us Above us, only sky. . . Imagine all the people Livin’ for today Ah Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too" To me, it sounds like a globalist woke anthem

Four young Congresswomen – not even Senators – accomplished something that eluded years of Democratic Presidents and their woes. Jimmy Carter in his malaise, Bill with Monica and his cigar, Lyndon Johnson and his Vietnam War – none of that was able to accomplish what these four young Congresswomen accomplished. They destroyed the Democratic Party. It was a perfect storm that began around the year 2020. China leaked a bioengineered virus from its biowarfare lab – probably accidentally – to produce worldwide mass hysteria and lockdowns of billions of people. It gathered steam when a thug died in the hands of a white cop. Protests and riots ensued, weirdly exempted from the lockdowns.
