  1. $700 for the people of Maui, 24 billion for Ukraine. The Uniparty needs to make their slogan MUGA, Make Ukraine Great Again! America Last!!!

  2. They tried to blame it on climate change at first. Governor wants to buy their land for the work force. Is he serious?

  3. The hawaiians are living on the streets and beach because of the united states of america the American deserved this

  4. 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵

  5. It wasn't global warming or a wildfire. It was a direct energy weapon. They're preparing for a ufo attack and this is how they'll do it.

  6. The Hawaiians are very very pissed off at the government and rich companies and real estates

  7. But that's good cause these people are not the true natives of this land..our people were black people

  8. I got a $1000 bet they using this to Starr a smart city…..how convenient? Who is dumb enough to bet me?

  9. Yall some dirty mofos..using laser beams on our country…..

  10. The left: "Climate Change caused this"
    Reality: The electric company caused this.
    The left: "But the TV narrative says i should believe them"

  11. This is impossible. The government purposely killed these people by shooting their high powered lasers from the air, just like they do in California, starting wildfires every year. They want to move certain people out of areas to fulfill their evil Agendas. Agenda 21 for California. God sees all

  12. They were all heathens, the witches and warlocks summoned their lake of fire.

  13. The one guy is right. The Officials have blood on their hands. Follow the money. Who owns the most land on this island? I'll give you a hint. Blackrock… Unreal.

    Journalists nowadays like this channel are pathetic. Shame on you for not digging a bit more. Shame Shame Shame

  14. Hawaii is the most expensive US State to to rent or own a home. $700 per person – give me a break..

  15. Illuminati zionist WORK sorry to say it THE true..?Hope god will help the Pepole humans❤🤲🏻.. PEACE✌🏻

  16. I'm a local resident from Maui.. and we the local people still want to see Herman Andaya be held accountable for all the deaths in this tragedy!.. more lives would have been saved, but he did not use the sirens.. He thinks us people are stupid and would really run to the Fire! if we heard the sirens.. If the sirens were used, then people would have seen deadly fire that can be seen in space and put it together that it's a fire situation.. and head to safety. The big picture of it all is… people would have been alarmed and given a chance to save themselves

  17. Something isn't right, how are those trees between homes still have any green on them?!?

  18. There is no defending them. It wasn't a natural disaster. At best, it was negligent homicide. Are they going to pretend we don't know it was a land grab and that they murdered hundreds of native Hawaiians to steal their property? Hopefully independent forensics are testing residue and burn patterns.

  19. "A comprehensive review of fire alert systems" government BS. How about when there's a massive fire moving toward the town, turn on evacuation sirens that indicate an emergency

  20. So the alarm could have potentially save dozen if not hundreds of lives….oh yeah heads are gonna roll.

  21. You're a freaking ISLAND and you don't have a water pumping system? That's insane!

  22. Info from 8/15 videos indicate the Lahaina Wildfire began as a Brush Fire on the SE edge of the Lahainaluna neighborhood N of Lahaina. This fire started near the road that passes S of Lahainaluna. There does not appear to be power lines in this area. Fire Crews reported they had contained the brush fire at 9:00 AM. Unfortunately, a hot spot flared up in this area, causing the Lahaina Wildfire.

    High winds starting overnight had blown down power lines in Lahaina, caused road closures, but did not start any fires. Most roads with downed power lines were reopened by late morning. I suspect electrical power had to be shut down that morning to complete repairs to the power lines. This resulted in Cell Service and Water Pumps to shut down.

    Unfortunately, this shutdown occurred during the new flare-up of the Lahainaluna Brush Fire. The high winds pushed the fire into nearby homes and quickly down towards Lahaina. Fire Crews reported no water pressure at the fire hydrants to fight the fire. There was little time for the Fire Dept. and Police to warn the Residents by going street to street. Residents had no Cell Service to receive the Mobile Phone Warnings to evacuate,resulting in disaster.

  23. Direct Energy Weapon was used on Maui it melted car engines and glass but most trees are still intact. My guess is the warning systems were melted instantly as well before the fire even spreads.

  24. Smart city condos coming soon once the developers get their way

  25. Direct Energy Weapons, the same government who didn't warn the people is the same government who set the fires. And Oprah and Jeff Bezos who have been trying to buy out the natives the last couple of years, will now attempt to exploit the tragedy and look to buy the scorched land. This is how the 1% operate.

  26. There needs to be charges. How does a fire wipe out a town like that with little to no warning in 2023????

  27. DEWdrops keep falling on my head….

  28. 100% incompetent government

  29. because of the hurricane winds, utility poles and power lines had come down, a likely cause to the ignition but also potentially disabling means of communication or equipment designed to alert the residents of an emergency. it all happened to fast, leaving so many victims with just moments to act. people have the right to be upset about how it was handled by authorities, BUT you cannot blame anyone on the immense force of nature.

  30. It's a good day to go through your lightly used clothing that don't fit you anymore and go grocery shopping. Even buying one package of diapers or a box of Top Ramen or SPAM and donating a few shirts or shorts can go a long way if a lot of us do this. We just need to reach out to whatever organization will accept and send it over. Heck… maybe just go to the post office and ship it to grocery stores and organizations in Hawai'i that are accepting those donations. Check with them first, though.

  31. Thank you we didn't know about the other fires 🔥 on the islands

  32. You can take a portion of the route from the banyan tree 🌴

  33. All part of kleus WEF plan. Buildback better. Gotta destroy what exists all intentional sad sad world we live in. Onky getting worse

  34. 1) Maui was experiencing a severe drought, even higher than the other Hawaiian Islands.

    2) People reported winds gusting 60-80 mph at the time of the fire, with the air filled with burning embers.

    3) Lahaina was a historic town, filled with old, wooden buildings and above ground electrical lines. Some brick buildings had even been remodeled with wood facing. While enhancing their historical appeal, it made them more susceptible to fire. That said, ANY modern town today would likely face complete destruction from fire under these wind conditions.

    4) The strong winds could’ve blown down trees which downed power lines, starting the fire right in the town, rather than it starting hours away. Power would’ve been lost immediately, hampering alarms and communication. People awoke by the fire reported there was already no phone service.

    5) Under those conditions, it is not unusual for a fire to advance at 20 mph, possibly even faster. Embers blown in the air start new fires ahead. The fire would’ve traversed the entire town, right down to the seawall, in about 10 minutes. There was little time for a useful fire alarm, and little to no chance of a useful fire department response.

    UPDATE: Info from 8/15 videos indicate the Lahaina Wildfire began as a Brush Fire on the SE edge of the Lahainaluna neighborhood N of Lahaina.
