Agreed. The malevolent first responders “Your Tax Dollars at Work” Cover-up Derby is in full swing. Who ordered the 372 LEOs to stand-down in Uvalde?

The officers in Uvalde were just blowhard cowards too chickenshit to do the job they were hired to do. They could have removed those heavy fire rated classroom doors and used them for shields.

Must be the same who ordered the police to prevent the people from Maui to escape the flames by leaving.

Listen to the old man who was there, who witnessed this. Don't worry, though. Hillary has already booked him a flight to her place up in Upstate NY so they can have a one to one, obviously to either change his mind, or have him go paddle boarding with her.

No matter the root cause and the failure of the Maui officials, the fact that a 1000 or more are still unaccounted for says they are going to do everything in their power to minimize the horror that was bestowed on innocent Maui citizens and their visitors to the island. Biden's comments next Monday will be interesting.

Excellent analysis which also points to mitigation paths forward. Namely employment of existing predictive (wind) technology tied to public policy (such as Public Safety Power Shutoffs) and risk mitigation (e.g. brush/tree clearing around power lines, underground power lines, escape route planning/improvement, more water dropping helicopters, etc). Reports from 2014 specifically called for such steps in Maui (government and power company) but not effectively funded ($250k versus $10s of millions for renewable transition).

Occam’s razor as to root cause. Natural, predictable strong local wind conditions and sparks from downed power lines. Red flag event that was foreseeable but not prepared for.

One thing I have not seen is the use of volcanic heat to generate power. Look at what Iceland does. I say that not as a Green freak but someone that came out of the power industry. Heat water, generate steam, turn a turbine that turns a generator - poof- power. I may be off here but if they plan to use wind turbines, those will go down in high winds.

"... And it wasn't Hurricane Dora, a relatively small tropical storm that passed 700 miles to the south of Hawaii..."

Total BS. He does not live there obviously (I do) and did not research in the slightest the wind conditions those days. Another armchair expert. Plenty of on-the-ground video evidence of Tropical Storm level winds propelling the conflagration.

So you link to a twitter comment, about a hurricane 700 miles away. 70 to 80 MPH downs slope winds were ther, as the artcle shows, but not from the hurricane. Read the article.

Expand full comment

Oh great guru, many thanks for your all-knowing insight.

fyi, there was (and typically is) a high pressure system just north of there creating a pressure gradient line and the tail winds of Dora moving through the area, that moved through the islands over a couple days This happens throughout the year depending on circumstances.

I live and work here and know the environmental characteristics quite well from daily life.

But go believe whatever story makes ya feel good. A human tragedy has happened thanks to human ineptitude, arrogance and greed, and you knuckleheads want to pick nits from thousand of miles away.

Expand full comment

If you even read the article you would not have asserted it denied winds that it talked in detail about. And yes, those downslope winds can and do happen. read the actual article, as clearly you did not.

"None explained the 60-90 mph gusts that hit a very localized area. Winds strong enough to shear off wooden power poles, tear roofs apart, and down lines of power lines."

Last Tuesday, strong winds approached the crest of the West Maui Mountains, not because of Hurricane Dora, but because of an unusually strong high-pressure area to the north.

"We know this for several reasons. A map of sea level pressure (black lines), surface winds (wind barbs), and the standardized sea level pressure anomaly (difference) from normal (colors) at 9 AM Hawaii time on Tuesday are shown below.

High pressure is centered north of Hawaii and this high pressure was far more intense than normal just north and over Maui (indicated by the orange, red, and brown colors). The pressure anomalies due to the Hurricane Dora were very small in scale and limited to far south of Hawaii.

Hurricane Dora had little impact on Hawaii during this event, something confirmed by an expert at the National Hurricane Center." With additional links.

Expand full comment

Agreed. Here's a quote from Wikipedia "2023 Hawaii Wildfires" article:

"The proliferation of the wildfires was attributed to dry, gusty conditions created by a strong high-pressure area north of Hawaii and Hurricane Dora to the south."

As usual, citations are given for those who wish to investigate in depth.

Create winds with HAARP. Create fires with DEW. Move in afterwards and buy up destroyed real estate. Rebuild. Acquire monopoly on tourist trade. Disenfranchise local population (kill local population, too, for that matter). Send homeless somewhere else (camps, 15 minute cities?). Convert private homeownership to collectivist units: 15 minute city, smart city. Live happily ever after.

I saw a video on TS posted by someone that got it from Greg Reese reporting for InfoWars.

It showed miles of burnt carnage with nothing but devastation except for the miles of oceanfront mansion-type homes just on the other side of the road. None of them were touched. It was not just a standing church, or home, but dozens of them still with their green lawns and trees.

John Pelletier Chief of Police who led the response to the Las Vegas massacre is Maui's Chief of Police. When they do a good job for the FBI the first time they are moved around to help out for the next USG crime scene.

Considering the timeline and it took 24 hours for the fires to really start expanding because of the winds that were acting as a blow torch says that it was malfeasance on the part of the Maui government. If They took the proper action in a timely manner there would’ve been no lives lost! Having been to Lahaina and walking down the street among the wooden houses, it is easy to understand why it became an inferno. When you consider that the Canadian fires were caused by lack of fire control, and the depletion of funds to create fire control, and it is reported a similar situation developed on Maui makes me believe that it may be the climate change gurus are trying to keep the fear level up that we’re all going to be incinerated on earth because of the questionable climate scenario

Woke Hawaiian Official Stalled Release Of 'Revered Water' Until It Was Too Late To Save Maui

You’d think the coast guard would have those boats with the water cannons that can suck water from the ocean and shoot water to douse fires onshore. Do they not have planes in Hawaii that can drop water on a fire also? I’m puzzled with so much water available since Maui is an island, why only rely on fire trucks? Make it make sense. I dunno, maybe I’m misinformed.

Trains, Planes & Automobiles comedy and tragedy. There is ample ineptitude and inefficiency in Hawai'i govt. relating to a variety of issues and challenges.

I'm unaware of any CG presence in the Islands other than Honolulu. No planes that I've ever seen, since large-scale fires are unheard of –– just occasional brush fire in a dry zone. But helicopters with buckets, yes.

One particularly remote fire in a high elevation forest above my home in Keokea was accessible only by one graded service road, and took two+ weeks to douse with non-stop copters (dipping fresh-water from open reservoirs during daylight hours).

Hawaiian Electric, who is owned by Vanguard and BlackRock.

Keep in mind Hawaii is run 100% by Democrats. The people were abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Government did nothing for them- before, during and after the fire.

Body count is currently 111, but there are over 1,000 still missing. The only bodies they are allowed to count have to be intact! That means NO insurance payouts for lands and homes or lives. The survivors will be forced to leave.

"A good friend told me she saw a firefighter at Costco a couple of days after the fire. She mentioned that the death toll was just raised to 50-something. He told her that the firefighters had already used up 400 body bags, all that they had available. He said the death toll was way under-counted."

"I was working with a young guy loading trucks and during a break he told me he was a police officer stationed up in Haleakala and brought down to assist with finding bodies in the rubble of Lahaina. He told me that everywhere one stepped there were the charred remains of bodies, and in his opinion the death count was way low."

"My source in Hawaii described scenes lifted from Dante’s Inferno. Entire families clustered in their home’s bathroom using the bathtub filled with water seeking refuge. All burned beyond recognition. Firefighters are vomiting when they uncover these horrific remains. The rescue workers involved in this grisly recovery task will likely be Post Traumatic Stress casualties themselves."

The Police are not only lying in Maui about everything, but the Maui Police are now arresting all witnesses to the fires. They are all DEEP STATE, and should be shot dead on sight.

"Police put up roadblocks that confused fleeing residents. Police herded them all onto one narrow street in Lahaina. It was a deathtrap. A long line of traffic backed up as a wall of fire approached. Those people, children and dogs burned to death in their cars.

Here is what I experienced each time there was a wildfire in Malibu. The Fire Department parked trucks on every block in the path of the fire to defend homes. Police and firemen went door to door to warn us to leave immediately.

Police helicopters flew overhead with loudspeakers warning us to “leave now, or you will die.” Jumbo jets dropped fire retardant on the fire (and on homes). Helicopters scooped water from the ocean and dropped it on the fire. Police directed traffic and made sure everyone got away from the fire. Lastly, there were police boats to save citizens who jumped into the ocean."

"Since the worst wildfire in modern US history, the Biden administration has done virtually nothing for the people of Maui. Witnesses say no help has arrived. Where’s FEMA? Witnesses say at donation sites for victims there are no federal, state or county personnel. Just citizen volunteers.

Some of the lucky ones abandoned their cars and jumped into the ocean. They treaded water for hours until help arrived. Why? Where was the US Navy? Where were the police boats to rescue them?"

John, thank you for this account. It coupled with Dr. Malone and his colleagues reporting provides a much clearer picture. Very sad.
