“I’ve seen horrendous wildfires growing up in California, But “I’ve never seen one eat an entire town in four hours.”
In May, Hawaiian officials reported suspected widespread arson on the island of Maui. “Fire and police suspect someone is intentionally setting them,” said Maui Mayor Michael Victorino.
The U.S. Constitution gives Congress, only, the ability to impose the force of law on citizens. However, today there are over 400 three-letter agencies in existence from intelligence agencies to a labyrinth of bureaucracies. Most citizens do not realize that over the decades Congress has abdicated its legislative authority giving many of these agencies and bureaucracies the power to legislate. As a result, for over 50 years unknown, unelected, and often activist bureaucrats have been operating unchecked outside the Constitution as a form of shadow government. This de facto power, while attempting to remove the freedoms of the American people and undermine the Constitutional process, has gained top-down control of every industry, every consumer, and every small business.
Since at least 1992, their radical agenda has been “climate change.” Under the guise of “saving the planet” from global warming, rising seas, inequality, and poverty, they are actually succeeding in destroying the environment, farmers, plant life, and food supply. One of their main goals is the “smart” control grid which is truly nothing more than an unaffordable and inadequate energy supply system and policies meant to force people out of their homes and self-reliance and corral the population into urban development centers, and into poverty.
According to their own rhetoric and documentation, achieving these so-called Sustainable Development Goals requires mass depopulation and reorganization of society. Their methods include the kind of destruction recently witnessed in the Lahaina, Maui wildfires.
Because the threat of climate change is so immediate and dire, free market economies and democracy must end. Jorgen Randers, one of the authors of the Club of Rome’s 1972 Limits To Growth Report, writes in his 2012 book 2052 - A Global Forecast for the Next Forty Years (the 40-year follow-up to Limits To Growth):
“In order for the world to move briskly, there is the need to break with traditional approaches and form new partnerships that are able to agree within reasonable time limits.”
“Society is stuck in the ideal that individual rights have priority over the common good, a view that will be increasingly unhelpful in an ever more crowded world.”
“So the way I see it, the fundamental question in this domain is whether democracy will agree on a stronger state (and faster decision-making) before it is too late…”
In other words, democracy moves much too slowly and the world is ending tomorrow, therefore we must cede control to unknown, unelected experts immediately so that they can re-order the world into a model of egalitarian climate Utopia.
MAUI THE HARD WAY: The True Cost of Sustainable Development
The official death toll in Maui has eclipsed 100 making it the deadliest natural disaster in the US in more than 100 years. Researcher Ed Dowd believes the actual death toll could be as high as 500-1000 people. So, the question many are asking in the wake of this tragedy, is: Was this really a “natural” disaster, or was Maui singled out for fast-tracking to become a model of smart grid island Utopia?
Maui Police Chief John Pelletier said that identifying the dead is extremely challenging because “we pick up the remains and they fall apart…the remains that we’re finding is through a fire that melted metal…”
In interview after interview, eyewitnesses, including Governor Josh Green, repeated the same eerie phrase,
“It’s like a bomb went off”
At least 2,200 buildings were damaged or destroyed in West Maui, Governor Green said, 86% were residential and that damage across the island is estimated at close to $6 billion.
The Maui wildfires are the state’s deadliest natural disaster since a 1960 tsunami killed 61 people and will likely approach the tragic toll of a 1946 tsunami in which more than 150 were killed on the Big Island.
After those disasters, local officials developed a territory-wide emergency alert system including sirens that are tested every month. However, Hawaii emergency management records do not indicate that these warning sirens were sounded when the fires grew out of control and began to engulf the residential and business areas.
Nearly every building in the town of Lahaina was destroyed in a matter of hours on Tuesday, August 8th. Reports indicate that the danger on Maui was well known. Maui County’s hazard mitigation plan updated in 2020 identified Lahaina and other West Maui communities as being at high risk for wildfire with several buildings at risk. Additionally, the National Weather Service had been issuing warnings about the danger for weeks.
One resident said he doubts county officials could have done more, “It’s not that people didn’t try to do anything, the fire went from zero to 100.” He said, “I’ve seen horrendous wildfires growing up in California, but “I’ve never seen one eat an entire town in four hours.”
At the 2:15 mark in this video of one of Governor Green’s first press conferences, “It’s like a bomb and fire went off.”
While the fires still burned, a Bloomberg report was released with the headline:
Maui’s Fires Risk Pushing Up Housing Costs in Strained Market
During the tragedy, Democracy Now! founder and principal reporter Amy Goodman interviewed Kaniela Ing, the national director of the Green New Deal Network. Goodman and Ing took the opportunity to make wide proclamations about the cause of the fire being ultimately, the climate crisis.

At the 1:00 mark in the video, Ing goes on a political propaganda tirade saying,
“Anyone in power who denies climate change, to me, are the arsonists here. We’re living the climate emergency.”
Ing claims that these kinds of “apocalyptic” tragedies will “become more so in the future.” Ing and Goodman were eager to blame these disasters on Colonialism as the primary cause of climate change. Repeating a common talking point from the green movement which depends largely on government intervention and spending, Ing said that at least, “1 trillion dollars must be invested” to correct climate change and that all new fossil fuel contracts must be denied.
Maui - Plans for A High-Tech Prison Island?
Researcher Sasha Latypova, writing on her Due Diligence and Art blog on Substack on Aug 13, 2023 said,
“I have gone through several years of severe ‘wildfires’ in CA/NV which affected the neighborhoods I care about, destroyed several houses of my neighbors, displaced many people, destroyed acreage of forest, and severe damage to the water department (where I volunteer as a treasurer)...
Locally, nobody was confused about the true causes of these fires - over 90% of them were caused by Pacific Gas and Electric company’s equipment blowing up (delayed maintenance is up to 60 years, but PGE is mandated to buy “green” extremely expensive energy), as well as many cases of arson.
[The] Paradise, CA fire was most likely a result of some sort of weaponry being tested and deployed.
Climate change is a hoax but climate terrorism is not.
Readers of her blog forwarded this information about recent relevant events on Maui:
“The government of Hawaii states the goal for rebuilding is to make the entire island of Maui the first Smart ISLAND. They want the entire island governed by AI as outlined in the Hawaii Digital government summit of 2023 that they have planned to host next month Monday, September 25, 2023, on Maui.”
“No warning systems were triggered during this event. Direct energy weapons would not trigger any warning system. Still waiting for the “explanation” why the system did not alert people.”
There happens to be a mountain of evidence in support of the claim that Hawaii, and specifically Maui, Molokai, and Lanai have been singled out for fast-tracking as a “smart-grid” model island.

The Japan-U.S. Island Grid Project on Hawaii's Maui Island: Striving to find solutions to the energy problem
https://social-innovation.hitachi/en-us/case_studies/smartgrid_hawaii/
Issue
In Hawaii, where 90% of all energy consumption has been relying on fossil fuels, there was an urgent need to convert to renewable energy. To achieve this, Hawaii has set for itself the goal of supplying 100% of the state's energy needs through renewable sources by 2045.
Project
To address such matter, the Japan-U.S. Smart Grid Demonstration Project was launched. Hitachi has been participating in the Japan-U.S. Island Grid Project carried out by NEDO, also known as "JUMPSmartMaui."
Results
Also, after linking this system to wind power generation systems on Maui and to the grid, Hitachi carried out a demonstration project covering user demand response, EV charging and discharging control, and other technologies, and took on the work of building a smart-grid environment that utilized EVs.

The JUMPSmartMaui renewable energy demonstration project that helped set up electric vehicle charging station infrastructure and smart-grid EV technology on the island came to a “successful” conclusion in February after a nearly six-year run, the project announced this month.
Japan’s largest public research and development management organization, New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), through a U.S.-Japan government agreement, funded the more than $30 million project that launched in June 2011. Partners included Hitachi, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Nissan, Maui Electric Co, Maui Economic Development Board, the University of Hawaii Maui College, the state, the county and others.
Maui was selected for the demonstration project because of the many renewable energy projects already in place that were impacting grid operations, said MEDB President and CEO Jeanne Unemori Skog in an email Wednesday. Solutions were needed to allow the integration of more renewable energy. In addition, EVs were gaining acceptance on Maui, she said.
Sharon Suzuki, president of MECO, said that JUMPSmartMaui helped the utility “better understand how smart grid technology, renewable energy and EVs can work together.”
“Ultimately, these efforts will contribute to solving Maui’s energy challenges,” she said.
“The investment in this project by Japan has truly been a gift to Maui and a major contribution to understanding how to achieve our 100 percent renewable energy goals,” said Skog.
She said that data collected from JUMPSmartMaui will continue to be used to plan and implement sustainable business models of EVs and grid operations.
“Also, we see Maui as a technology showcase of newly developed advanced energy solutions,” Skog said.
Hawaii’s Governor, Josh Green, is completely bought into the deadly global scam of sustainability. Whether or not Green has been specifically placed in his position by the billionaires who are locking down the Hawaiian islands, it is plain to see that he serves the agenda above the good of the Hawaiian people.

In our recent video about the Maui fires and the devastation of Sustainable Development, we have come across evidence in support of the claim donations from the mainland are not making it to the people in immediate need, and that it is quite possible that the billionaires who own much of the Hawaiian islands, like former Oracle CTO, Larry Ellison, and those who have publicly donated massive sums to the rebuilding of Maui, like Jeff Bezos, are not operating in the best interest of the Hawaiian people.

‘This Was Not a Natural Disaster’: ‘Whistleblowers’ Raise Disturbing Questions About Deadly Maui Wildfire
Four months ago, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison acquired nearly 98% of the 141 square-mile Hawaiian island of Lanai, buying it from billionaire David Murdock for an undisclosed sum, rumored to be around $500 million.
Ellison’s holdings on the island include two resorts, golf courses, numerous commercial and residential properties, and extensive undeveloped land once used for pineapple cultivation. Lanai is about 40 miles west of Lahaina in western Maui, where the fires took place.
The island’s 3,000 inhabitants have been uncertain about Ellison’s intentions for Lanai. However, in a recent interview on CNBC’s “Closing Bell with Maria Bartiromo,” Ellison disclosed his vision of transforming the island into an eco-friendly haven, emphasizing electric vehicles, organic agriculture, and solar energy.
“What we are going to do is turn Lanai into a model for sustainable enterprise,” said Ellison, one of the world’s richest men, to Maria Bartiromo. “I own the water utility, I own the electric utility.”
However, Ellison’s vision goes beyond merely powering the island with solar energy,
“We will have electric cars. So it’s going to be a little, if you will, laboratory for sustainability…”
But local residents complain Ellison did not engage with the island’s community, failing to communicate his intentions, address potential concerns, or gather feedback. Ellison has also been accused of seeking to turn the 90,000-acre island into a “playground for the super-rich.”
Pulama Lanai, the management company he set up to oversee the island’s transformation, was also lambasted by residents for creating a “housing shortage.”
The Real Deal reported, “Ellison owns the island’s main grocery store, the only gas station, the community newspaper and the only non-Four Seasons hotel. His development plans tend to be secret. Many locals have heard that he plans to make the island ‘sustainable,’ though not how.”
“Residents say that no other entity can balance Ellison’s control, meaning his decisions carry the weight of the law, with minimal discussions of new projects and almost no due process,” the report added.
There are also serious questions about the government’s response to the wildfire and the possibility of arson.
In May, Hawaiian officials reported suspected widespread arson on the island of Maui.
“Fire and police suspect someone is intentionally setting them,” said Maui Mayor Michael Victorino.

Last October, false prophetess Cindy Jacobs brought her particular brand of darkness to the Maui town of Lahaina and the King’s Cathedral Church. Jacobs “prophecies are especially eerie now as she proclaimed favor in the name of the Lord and demanded new “spiritual houses” for the people. Less than ten months later, Lahaina was leveled and so was King’s cathedral Church.

Ezekiel 13:3-4 False Prophets Condemned
3 Thus says the Lord GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 Your prophets have been like jackals/foxes among ruins, O Israel.
In Ezekiel’s time, there were many false prophets, both in Israel and in the Babylonian exile. These false prophets of Israel mostly had an optimistic, positive message of deliverance and favor… always blabbing on and on with their pretended words from God.
One theologian explained it his way: “Like foxes who burrow in the ground and ruin foundations of buildings; they were crafty, mischievous and destructive” (Charles Lee Feinberg)
Cowardly, crafty, cruel, greedy.… Heretics and false prophets are exactly like this. (Trapp)
Mat 7:15 KJV - 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Act 20:29 KJV - 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
6 They have seen false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘Declares the LORD,’ when the LORD has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfill their word.
9 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations… 10a Precisely because they have misled my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace…
Their message was filled with hope and inspiration, packed with optimism and confidence — don’t despair, God will deliver us and we will win against the Babylonians!
Misled and seduced the people of God — to ignore their sin and to pay no attention to imminent danger, as if there were no need for repentance…
“Peace!” when there is no peace — “They never spoke of repentance, but guaranteed that the blessings of God were just around the corner.” (Wright)
That is the essence of false prophecy. Posing as if they have a Divine message and telling the people what they want to hear…
Jeremiah 5:30-31
30 “A horrible and appalling thing Has happened in the land:
31 The prophets prophesy with lying… And My people love it so!
But what will you do in the end?
False prophecy is truly horrible in the eyes of God. False prophets are the worst enemies of God’s people. In the Old Testament, whenever false prophets became well-known and very popular, it was the final evidence of national decay. (Morgan)
Another horrible thing was that God’s people were perfectly happy to have false prophets and corrupt leadership. The great lesson from God here is that popularity and great followings are not evidence that one speaks for the LORD or leads in a godly manner.
The people “Are perfectly satisfied with this state of things, because they are permitted to continue in their sins without reproof or restraint.
Ezekiel 13 10-15
because, when the people build a wall, these prophets smear it with whitewash, 11 say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! There will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. 12 And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the coating with which you smeared it?’ 13 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, and there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. 14 And I will break down the wall that you have smeared with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you shall perish in the midst of it, and you shall know that I am the LORD. 15 Thus will I spend my wrath upon the wall and upon those who have smeared it with whitewash, and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who smeared it…
False prophets were compared to liars and cheats who build an unsafe wall and cover up its defects with “whitewash,” or untempered mortar — something meant to appear as if it is stable, it looks right but is ultimately useless because it is an illusion and only hides the weakness and rot underneath. It is a wall that cannot be trusted to stand and protect…
God promised that a stormy wind would come against this weakly built wall, and destroy it.
When the storm came, and the wall fell, everyone knew the message was false. The key was to do a proper inspection of the “wall” BEFORE the storm came.

For over a decade, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein has predicted that any negative impacts of fossil fuel use on our climate will be outweighed by the unique benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing--including their unrivaled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people.
For example, in responding to the common claim that global warming is killing more people than ever, the truth is:
As the world has warmed ~1°C in the last century, climate disaster deaths have fallen 98% thanks in large part to fossil fuels.
