I heard those shut downs of aid were going on from someone who lives in Hawaii.

There are plenty of indications that more than the simple incompetence so often welcomed by the powers that be, was at play here.

Like that clown in charge of the water...

The evil coming from the left is palpable.

Jesus, PLEASE come back soon and deal with Satan and his minions once and for all.

The elites want the prime beach real estate for themselves. Florida too. Insurance costs will be unaffordable for everyone else.

Re: 28 - that FReeper believes that there are extraterrestrial “med-beds” that have not been disclosed to the public, advocates for the overthrow of the US Government by the military and has been wrong on almost every claim / prediction “she” has made.

Knowing that, it’s no problem at all claiming DEWs were the cause of the fires.

Just read the zaniness and laugh.

The Garlic from Gilroy and Hollister sure was tasty. Now the bulbs are this nasty stuff from golly knows where.

Somebody on the locked thread was asking about the presidential motorcade.

In my experience, and I say this without regard to party or politics, the president showing up anywhere is more trouble than it is worth. Huge pain in the ass for anybody and everybody involved. They have 2 of everything - AF1, and 2 helicopters, 2 “beast” cars, and then a gazillion advanced security teams, support personnel, backup equipment, and they come in and lockdown everything and closing everything down. And then, there are all the military backups, and a whole secondary and teritary gaggle of press, camp followers, and other assorted strap hangers. One huge CF.

I’m pretty sure even hard core democrats are not in a welcoming mood, they just don’t need photo ops and shopping sprees right now.

“I sometimes laugh my *** off at these silly conspiracy theories.”

Especially when there were videos posted by Lahaina residents of the power lines/poles being blown down and starting the brush fires.

There is also a video of an explosion. Which kooks attribute to malicious activity when it is really just a transformer blowing up. Which happens all the time in power outages caused by wind storms. These fires were caused by a combination of common factors. High winds, poorly maintained infrastructure, fields full of dry grass and brush, human incompetence/error of water rationing, old wooden houses built very close together, lack of fire fighters.

I read somewhere that Hawaii once had a thriving pineapple and sugar industry; but, not so much anymore.

“I guess that is what nearly seventy years of democrat rule will get you.”

And yet, Hawaii voted for Nixon in 1972 and Reagan in 1984.

You can read it here. This paper has far more information than you ever want to know, but the Abstract is short and informative. The short version is economics started driving the pineapple industry out of Hawaii in the 1950s.

Hawaii Pineapple: The Rise and Fall of an Industry
By Duane P. Bartholomew, Richard A. Hawkins, and Johnny A. Lopez
October 2012
Horticultural Science

By 1930 Hawaii led the world in the production of canned pineapple and had the world’s largest canneries. Production of canned pineapple peaked in 1957, but the stage was set for the decline of the Hawaii industry when Del Monte, one of Hawaii’s largest canners, established the Philippine Packing Corporation (PPC) in the Philippines in the 1930s.

Exactly.

“evidence piles up and points to one thing: A massive government ‘land grab’”

And, conspiracy theorist that I am, maybe fires were immediately preceded by a carefully organized “child grab”. So many missing. Are they ALL burned, or are they being hidden for now?
