#Lahaina #Maui #Wildfires

Since the war began, the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support…
That could have been $500,000 for each person of Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. Instead they were "given" $700.00. That's just a small example.
BUT NO RELIEF OF THIS MAGNITUDE FOR OURS. Please, resign now Biden.
Death to mainstream media
Death to black rock
Sounds like Hawaii government is in full coverup mode. Time to prosecute those who failed to protect the Lahaina residents.
Terrible. Never forget what trash democrats are.
That's because of the cop blocking the road of the exit truth will come out
Accountability:
1. The people of Lahaina were told by the "officials" (earlier that day) that the fires were 100% contained; Therefore the Lahaina residents acted as if the fires were 100% contained.
2. It's a lame excuse from "officials" that turning on the sirens would have caused confusion (an obvious confession that it was deliberate). Many children were home alone (due to closed schools); And many (including elders) were asleep; Sirens would have woke them up and alerted them to take action.
3. The "officials" should have known better; Especially since the "Maui Sirens' website makes it clear that sirens are used for multiple types of disasters (including wildfires).
4. Hold the "officials" accountable for their actions, non-action and incompetence; While it is hurricane and wildfire season; The evacuation "officials" (who are in charge of proper evacuation procedures); Both of them were off the island; Several survivors say Police officers blocked evacuation routes out of the fire area and re-routed evacuees into the Lahaina fire zone.
5. Not clear (at all) how "climate change" is related to this incident (as some have been suggesting).
[The "climate" is always "changing"; These "officials" appear to be equivocating on the term "climate change" in order to deliberately deflect from accountability and confuse the issues.]
6. Exposing the criminal impact concerning the 130 year U.S. (armed citizen "State") illegal occupation (not colonization) of the Hawaiian Kingdom; Since 1893.
7. What exactly are the rules (in accordance with Hawaiian Kingdom Law and International Law) pertaining to the responsibilities of an occupying power during a belligerent occupation?]
Please stand with Lahaina and the missing children
There are some really SCARY developments happening out of Lahaina, that are being totally IGNORED. οΏΌοΏΌοΏΌ Itβs obvious there is an intentional MEDIA BLACKOUT taking place around the whole region. Even more than this, there are βspecial policeβ in the form of foreign vehicles that wouldnβt normally be used as police cars along with NG, stopping people. On top of that, there is a blacked out fence that is being erected around the whole parameter. There is a MAJOR COVER UP taking place there.
Thank you for sharing this β€ aloha from big island ποΈ
Oh Holly, I am so sorry for you and your brother. My sincere condolences π’π
Unimaginable. Praying for you. Stay strong. Ask God for help, and band together.
God will provide, He will make a way. In spite of corrupt and evil govt people
God bless you with peace in your heart lady!
Your government m*rdered thousands of innocent people for an agenda.
The world is run by evil.
Maui will be in recovery for a generation.
