Is There a Fire Fueling the Wildfires in LA?

The worst part is that we are seeing fires appear out of nowhere in six separate places (seven if you include Calabasas). Although I'm not a conspiracy believer, let's discuss some intriguing "coincidences" that will make you raise your eyebrows.

Here's where it gets very rich: we're not some resource-poor country, but the fifth-largest economy in the world. However, in order to combat these infernos, we are somehow depending on prisoners earning $5.80 to $10.24 every day. After all, what better way to describe a "world-class city" than that?

Let's dissect the information:

FACT 1: Alert from an Insurance Company

Major insurers in California that refuse to take on new clients or renew existing policies are subject to a new rule that was adopted by the Department of Insurance last month. For example, State Farm stated that it will no longer renew 30,000 homeowner insurance, including more than 1,000 in Pacific Palisades, citing "catastrophe exposure" as a result of the increasing number of wildfires. Isn't that a coincidence? I don't really think that's true.

FACT 2: Reduced Spending

After removing $17.6 million from the fire department's budget to address homelessness, Mayor Karen Bass came under fire. It's important to remember that she first suggested cutting $24 million, or roughly $70,000 for each homeless individual, even if shelters are still underutilized.

FACT 3: Severe Water Scarcity

During the wildfire, a significant water reservoir in Pacific Palisades that is essential to the water supply of Los Angeles was not operational. As a result, firefighters experienced insufficient water pressure, which made fighting the fire even more difficult.

FACT 4: Difficult Situations for Emergency Personnel

Firefighters in Los Angeles are faced with the unavoidable decision of either attempting to contain the fires with limited resources or letting the flames expand. Despite their controversial nature, inmate firemen frequently determine whether there are enough people on deck. However, these more firemen are now necessary because of climate change, which is making fire seasons longer and more intense.

FACT 5: Verified Arson Inquiry

Arson is being investigated in the Kenneth Fire, and one suspect has been apprehended with the assistance of civilians. Although nothing has been verified yet, suspicion is also being raised by other fires in the region.

FACT 6: Organizations Giving Ukraine Supplies

Concerns regarding California agencies sending firefighting supplies to Ukraine during the California wildfires have been voiced by some.

Theories of Conspiracy You May Want to Examine

This is when things start to get interesting (and a little ironic): Conspiracy theories are beginning to surface as the flames continue to burn. According to a widely held belief, the fires were started on purpose to clear the way for the SmartLA 2028 project, which intends to turn Los Angeles into an Olympic-ready "smart city" powered by technology. Doesn't that sound like a plot twist? That is, if you believe it.

Finally, here is the most popular idea on the internet: GETTY TUNNELS AND CHILD TRAFFICKING. Indeed, it seems that there are tunnels beneath the Getty Museum that supposedly connect to the whole of Los Angeles and beyond. Conspiracy theories abound, including child trafficking and clandestine underground rites.

Naturally, all of this cannot divert attention from the far more urgent problem of wildfires. But really, everyone has the right to their own beliefs, don't they?

The Total Damage

Oh, only a casual economic loss of $50 to $150 billion. We evidently needed another one of those, so JPMorgan is placing a wager of $20 billion in insurance claims alone, setting a new record. We have enough ruined homes to make a real estate salesperson weep, 415,000 people without power, and 180,000 people displaced.

As some Republican reporters tend to do, you can choose to believe any of these hypotheses, keep your thoughts to yourself, and keep pointing fingers at the firefighters or condemning the mayor. However, the outcome remains unchanged. Many things don't match up, and it's just inconceivable that a state that is home to the world's fifth-largest economy, the entertainment capital, a tech hub, a financial powerhouse, and a political juggernaut would be so unable to protect its inhabitants and put out the fires. Nobody can convince me otherwise!

Biden's rushing in with federal assistance is admirable, but let's face it: how did we get into this predicament in the first place? We're referring to Los Angeles, a financial powerhouse, tech hub, entertainment capital, military base, political heavyweight, and leader in green technology. But why can't we put out a few fires without making the entire town look like a scene from "Mad Max"?

It's sad yet true. and you are welcome to cite me on it.
