Excerpt:

...

You regular readers are well informed about DEW’s, but because it’s still a little known topic, allow me to quickly reiterate the primary types of Directed Energy Weapons capable of doing the hard-to-believe things we’ll be looking at in the following videos. Currently we know of three primary types of Directed Energy Weapons; High Energy Lasers known as HEL’s, High Powered Microwaves (HPM’s) and Particle Beams. (There are numerous others - search - directed energy weapons).

Keep in mind that even the hottest “wildfire” comes nowhere near hot enough to do the things you will be seeing in these videos.

While it’s certainly possible that Nd:YAG lasers operating at 285.91 THz or 1963.3 nm (invisible to the eye) are capable of starting these fires, they are not capable of doing the mind bending damage I’ll be pointing out in the videos.

And no, none of this means that I think arsonists played no role. However, whether it was a random person starting fires with torches or some nefarious dark technician fulfilling orders from some self aggrandized predatory elite to manipulate DEW’s, all are arsonists of the worst kind. Whatever the case, the motto of the predatory elite is to not let any emergency go to waste. If a fire was started by a random arsonist, it may very well have been taken advantage of by those in control of DEW’s.

One more thing. As with the suppression of the knowledge of any secret weapon technologies, it’s important to remember that what we are allowed to know about and what is currently operational is a difference of about 10 years or more. In other words, the weapons we’ve recently learned about were likely being used 10 or more years ago (possibly many more years ago). Additionally, there may be DEW’s being used today that will not be made known - to those willing to do the research to find out about them - for 10 or more years. In earlier posts I’ve speculated that plasma beam weapons may be one of the DEW systems currently being used that we are currently being told are not yet operational. If you want more details about the history of these weapons, who is developing them, how they function and their capabilities, use the search tool and look for - dew’s .

To understand how important this evidence is we need to keep in mind that we are being told this is a “wildfire”. Wildfires feed off of naturally occurring organic fuel sources like lignin rich trees, brush and grass. Wood ignites at 572 degrees and burns at temperatures ranging from 1472 up to 1742 degrees Fahrenheit. For metals to melt, bend and twist, as is shown in these videos, the fire needs to be above 2,300 degrees. Glass melts at 2552 to 2912 degrees. Of course it has to be much hotter for the glass to be vaporized, as was the case with many of the cars, mobile homes and luxury homes shown in these videos.

This means we could be talking about fires burning at temperatures well over 3,000 degrees! Folks, that just ain’t possible in a natural “wildfire”.

It gets more absurd. The problem from the viewpoint of the perpetrators using these HPM’s is that there is no “wildfire” fuel load in the first video featuring the Tahitian Terrace mobile home park. It’s a completely man made environment of pavement and mobile homes made mostly of metal, with little to no vegetation fuel load of any kind. Yet, all but one of the mobile homes was turned to dust.

How can this be? All of this defies conventional knowledge about fires.

I should also mention that most of the homes and businesses that burned would have had digital electrical meters. As I’ve explained in earlier posts, these meters are not only capable of tracking your household activities, they also throw off dangerous amounts of radiation. Most importantly, they are notorious for starting house fires. I have some friends in Colorado who lost their home to a digital meter that overheated and burned their home to the ground. I’ve not been able to verify this, but stories have been told that the blue tooth systems in digital meters can be sent a message that can cause the meter to overheat and cause a fire. Can HPM’s cause this to happen? I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn it’s possible.

You won’t hear anything about any of this from the corporate media.

Enter HPM’s

By now I hope most of you long time readers have gotten rid of your microwave oven, or at least you never use the one you have. The radiation it emits is harmful to all life. Most of us are familiar with what happens when we put aluminum or other metallic objects in a microwave oven. In the case of aluminum, it can actually burn. Other metals can become so hot that they can cause damage to the oven or even cause a greater fire in the kitchen. A microwave oven is the equivalent of a tiny High Powered Microwave (HPM) weapon.

The reason HPM’s are so effective as a weapon system is due to their ability cover a much wider area than an HEL (lasers require a narrow focus) weapon, as well as their innate ability to be drawn to metal and follow it a great distance (like electricity). As the microwave travels through the metal, it excites the dense molecular structure of the metal, which causes it to become very hot, very quickly. Of course, once the metal becomes red hot it’s going to ignite anything combustible that’s nearby - fabric, wood, paper etc. From the perspective of the predatory elite, mobile homes and the parks where they congregate are metal rich targets, especially when they’re located on coveted real estate. The use of HPM’s is how a 100 acre mobile home park with zero “fuel load” can be turned to dust by a “wildfire”.

We can tell when HPM’s have been used because things that should burn like trees and plastic, don’t, and things that shouldn’t burn, like metal, do.

Just how does this technology work? Here is how Defense Systems Information Analysis Center describes a type of HPM designed to target electronic systems in enemy weaponry. If you read the entire article you will learn that the frequencies can be attenuated to account for weather conditions and to cause other effects.

HPM DEWs are similar in nature to a high-power radar transmitter with the exception that they can produce extremely high peak powers over tens of megawatts. An HPM DEW generates electromagnetic (EM) energy in the RF/microwave frequency range of roughly 1 to 35 GHz and uses an antenna to direct the energy to the target of interest. Because the HPM beam is typically much wider than a high-energy laser (HEL) or KEW, pointing and tracking is not as critical. Once the HPM energy hits a target, it can penetrate to the target’s electronics via both intentional ports of entry (POEs) (i.e., front doors), such as an antenna, or through unintentional POEs (i.e., backdoors), such as cracks, seams, and cables. When the EM energy enters a target system, it reradiates inside and induces currents/voltages in the pins of the electronics that are sufficient to produce either a long-term electronic upset or permanent damage. Additionally, because HPM DEWs can electronically attack a system with or without antennas and produce effects that last long after the energy is gone, DEWs represent a new form of electronic warfare (EW) known as an unconventional electronic attack (UEA).


As I’ve pointed out in earlier posts, the Navy has advanced HPM systems mounted on ships that can go anywhere in the world to attack offshore or onshore targets.

Keep in mind that after I point out what can be seen in these videos, YouTube may take them down. Please repost these videos to Rumble, Odysee and Bitchute where they have a better chance of survival.

The first video was taken by Fabian Lewkowicz from Santa Monica who posts on a YouTube channel called Santa Monica Close Up. He has an electric bike he uses to ride around the LAFD logistical control centers as well as into the burned areas.



In this video he spends a lot of time in the Tahitian Terrace mobile home park in Pacific Palisades. Mobile home parks are targeted by the powers that shouldn’t be because they are often located in areas where real estate values have soared well beyond the value of the mobile home park. The Tahitian Terrace is located on a bluff overlooking the beaches of Pacific Palisades and Malibu - some of the most valuable real estate in the world. Although all of the videos I’m presenting here have great forensic evidence showing the use of HPM’s, right now, of all the videos I’ve watched, Fabians video has the most instances of solid forensic evidence for the use of HPM’s.

Here is what to look for in this video: Every time he walks by a burned car, look on the pavement for the melted and slagged metal from the engine block and the wheels. Often times you will see it in solidified puddles that when hot were running downhill from the car(s). In many cases the windows are not just melted, they are gone. This car information will apply to all of the videos here.

In this video and many others, water can be seen running down the street. This is due to broken water lines that occurred after the fire destroyed buildings. What little water is left is now just running down the street.

Also look at the large metal beams that were once the foundations for the mobile homes. Most of them are twisted and severely bent. Also note that there are no porcelain sinks, toilets or other nonflammable fixtures left in any of the homes. Most everything has been turned to dust. As I pointed out in an earlier post, this was also the case with the World Trade Centers on 9/11 - there is no charring from the fires and little to no unburnable rubble, as is the case with normal fires.

Also watch for untouched plastic items like lattice fencing. Because of its low molecular structure, plastic items can be left untouched by HPM’s, unless it’s in close proximity to metal.

At 50 minutes into the video a metal building is scorched and smoldering, but the wooden shed next to it is untouched. This is not a wildfire. This is HPM activity.

...

The incompetence of LAFD was highlighted by the blockage of Palisades Drive and Sunset Blvd. Here’s what happened. As the fire became ever more threatening to Palisades, residents there were told to evacuate the area. They did so in such high numbers that the street became gridlocked. Then LAFD told the people trapped in their cars to abandon them and flee to the ocean. They did so. That left the street blocked so LAFD and LAPD could no longer get into the neighborhoods threatened by the Palisades fire. So what did they do? The called in a fire-break bull dozer to push the cars out of the way so emergency vehicles could get through. It was pointless. There was no water because the reservoir was dry.

...

So LAFD abandoned Palisades. As the smoke became overwhelming HPM’s must have been used. Here is another video from Fabian of what the abandoned cars look like now. Note all the slag that ran from the melted engine blocks and wheels, and the unburned trees. It got hot enough to melt metal in cars sitting in the middle of the street, away from the “wildfire”, but not hot enough to burn the trees in the middle of the wildfire!?



This was no wildfire. This was HPM’s being used to steal real estate and enrich car dealers.

In this next video we see more burned cars with slag on the pavement next to them, their windows are melted or are completely disintegrated, large plastic roll-out garbage cans are intact, and a plastic child's picnic table sits unscathed, all in a neighborhood that’s been destroyed. Also note the unburned trees.

Its global warming dawg.

Last January there was a 2 month heat wave in Antarctica that saw the average temperature rise by 28 degrees.

This happened in winter when Antarctica is not exposed to the sun.

In the next ten years, NorCal - where you live - will be exposed to the same thing. If it happens in summer then the power grid will break down and fuck tons of people will die from heat exposure. Good luck.

Karen Bass served on the board of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) during her time as a U.S. Representative, before becoming Los Angeles' 43rd Mayor1
. She held the position of Vice Chair on NED's Board of Directors2
, but stepped down from this role upon her election as mayor of Los Angeles3
.
NED Background and Bass's Involvement
The National Endowment for Democracy is an independent, nonprofit grant-making foundation that receives annual funding from Congress. It provides approximately 2,000 grants annually across 100 countries to support democratic institutions worldwide2
. During Bass's tenure, NED managed an annual budget of about $250 million in federal funding1
.
Controversial Aspects
While Bass served as vice-chair, NED provided funding to the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), an organization that rates news websites for trustworthiness and creates "dynamic exclusion lists" for advertisers1
. After an investigation by the Washington Examiner, NED announced it would cease funding organizations directly involved in influencing American media1
.
Current Status
Bass departed from the NED board following her election as Mayor of Los Angeles, and the board subsequently approved Eileen Donahoe as the new Vice Chair3
. As of January 2025, Bass is facing political challenges in her role as LA Mayor, dealing with various municipal issues9
.


Some, myself included suspect, National Endowment for Democracy (NED) = CIA.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has been involved in numerous controversial funding activities across multiple regions:
Political Interventions
Ukraine and Eastern Europe

Provided $65 million to Ukrainian opposition during the 2004 Orange Revolution5
Allocated over $30 million between 2007-2015 to support Ukrainian NGOs4
Funded media campaigns during the 2013-2014 Euromaidan protests4
Spent $2.35 million on projects in Belarus in 2020, including election-related activities5

Middle East and North Africa

Played a significant role in the Arab Spring movements across Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, Algeria, Syria, and Libya8
Funded organizations that participated in the 2011 Egyptian demonstrations leading to President Mubarak's resignation8
Supported various Libyan opposition groups during the 2011 civil war8

Asia

Funded projects worth $310,000 in Hong Kong in 20204
Supported Thai Lawyers for Human Rights and other organizations during 2020 protests in Thailand5
Funded multiple anti-government organizations in China, including groups in Xinjiang and Tibet3

Controversial Grant Recipients
Palestinian Territories

Funded MIFTAH ($178,740 between 2007-2012), an organization accused of promoting anti-Israel campaigns1
Provided grants to Al-Dameer ($133,200 between 2009-2012) and Gaza Community Mental Health Programme ($21,700 in 2011)1

Latin America

Provided $4.4 million to Nicaraguan opposition groups between 2016-20198
Supported Venezuelan opposition parties and funded anti-government unions8

Recent Developments
International Restrictions

Became the first NGO banned in Russia in 2015 as an "undesirable organization"3
Faced sanctions from China following the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act10
Deleted records of Ukrainian funding projects between 2014-2022, raising transparency concerns3



https://www.influencewatch.org/non-prof ... democracy/

Deleting Ukrainian Grants

In March 2022, the left-wing Monthly Review Online reported that the NED deleted all public records of grants given to Ukrainian programs between 2014 and 2022. An archived webpage showed 334 grants worth $22,394,281 that are now absent from the site. MR Online claimed that the results were removed at the behest of the U.S. government to conceal the NED’s involvement in Ukrainian nationalist groups. 15

As of February 2023, the NED’s Ukrainian grants still do not show up in search results.

It's not "global warming", at least certainly not as framed/presented by well-funded entities/govts.

Once again: we may well be in the midst of a cyclical/historical fluctuation in weather patterns, but the reasons for such fluctuations are not due to CO2 or whatever other canards are being sold to the public in an effort to obtain approval with various austerity measures, "net zero"/"carbon credit"/"15 minute cities" (etc) scams, all part of increasingly overt efforts to implement greater controls over resources, livelihoods and populations (while also increasing population reductions; these ongoing gaslighting/propaganda campaigns have been so successful a subset of the rubes subscribing to these BS narratives not-so-secretly believe population reductions are necessary).

In addition to the factors raised in the first 2 posts above -- and also added content by Grizzly -- there have been increased geo-engineering efforts over the last ~20+ years that do indeed impact weather patterns in localized areas. When you include criminal acts by local govts to prevent critical aid and support during crisis scenarios (see recent examples in North Carolina and now, LA) that could help minimize extent of the damage, these tragic outcomes are now becoming the norm rather than the exception.

Also, a fire can rage regardless of 'Global Warming' when the following bolded factors are at play:
@Donna_Rachel_

I’m compiling a list of all the policy decisions taken by the democrats in California that led to the fires raging through LA. So far I have:

- brush not cleared
- overgrown forestry
- reservoirs emptied
- fire hydrants with no water in them

- a fire service more concerned with hiring for DEI characteristics than for ability
- donations of fire service equipment, including trucks, to Ukraine.
- homeless encampments with fires lit regularly then left untended

What have I missed?
..
https://x.com/Donna_Rachel_/status/1877656887488815532

It will be interesting to observe proposed re-build scenarios after this fire in LA, and the extent which it [conveniently and certainly only by happenstance!] aligns with '2030 reset' objectives.

With respect to "temperature increases", (I've commented on this a number of times in the "Climate Alarm" threads, and provided links, etc. -- additional comments on this should ideally be re-directed to those other threads to keep the focus here on the LA Fires) it's no mere coincidence that over the years temp sensors have been increasingly and almost exclusively placed near or within airport tarmacs and/or urban centers, which naturally will provide higher average temp readings, which in turn are then blared in the media in sensationalized headlines and/or bright red weather maps, etc.

Statistics/metrics are only as useful/reliable as the quality of the source data. If the source data is flawed, compromised or manipulated, the resultant stats and models will be likewise flawed, but quite effective as propaganda.

A few sample images/content that add more context:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/h ... unkScience
Key Points:

Ghost Stations:
The article reveals that a significant number of climate stations, referred to as "ghost" or "zombie" stations, are no longer operational but continue to report data. These stations have been physically removed or are no longer maintained, yet NOAA fabricates temperature data for these locations by interpolating data from nearby stations. This practice affects more than 30% of the 1,218 USHCN stations that have ceased to exist since their peak in 1957.
Data Integrity:
Experts like retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. John Shewchuk and meteorologist Anthony Watts criticize this method, arguing that it leads to inaccurate climate records. Watts points out that if such data manipulation were in a legal context, it would likely be dismissed as unreliable.
Historical Context:
USHCN has been recording temperature data since before the Industrial Revolution, making it a crucial dataset for studying climate change. However, the integrity of this data is questioned due to the inclusion of data from these non-existent stations.
Implications for Policy:
The article suggests that the reliance on potentially flawed data could mislead climate policy decisions. High-profile statements from figures like U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and U.S. President Joe Biden about the severity of climate change are partially based on this data, which is now under scrutiny.
Previous Acknowledgment of Issues:
It's noted that NOAA has been aware of these issues since at least 2014 when similar concerns were raised, indicating that this is not a new problem but one that persists despite earlier promises of fixes.
Critical Views:
The narrative critiques the manipulation of climate data, suggesting it serves to inflate the perception of a climate emergency. Critics argue that this could lead to misallocated resources and misguided policy based on exaggerated or fabricated temperature trends.


Re: Antarctica --
Antarctica Is Currently Colder Than It Was 5000 Years Ago

April 22, 2024

More evidence emerges that Antarctica has undergone rapid glacier and sea ice expansion in recent centuries, in line with the long-term and recent Antarctic cooling trend

West Antarctica’s mean annual surface temperatures cooled by more than -1.8°C (-0.93°C per decade) from 1999-2018 (Zhang et al., 2023).

Not just West Antarctica, but most of the continent also has cooled by more than 1°C in the 21st century. See, for example, the ~1°C per decade cooling trend for East Antarctica (2000 to 2018) shown in Fig. ES1 (right).
Image

According to a new study, about 6,000 years ago Antarctica’s Collins Glacier’s frontline was a full 1 km southwest of its current extent. The frontline advanced to today’s extent ~5,000 years ago.

“Previous studies proposed that 6,000 yr BP [Before The Present Era], the frontline position of the Collins Glacier was located 1 km further southwest than the present and that the current frontline was first attained at approximately 5,000 yr BP.”


The glacier then continuously retreated south of the modern extent for another 4,000 years, with peak ice loss 1,000 years ago (as shown in the 1,000-year “Proglacial lake environment” image).

In the last 1,000 years, this glacier has rapidly re-advanced back to the glaciated extent from 5,000 years ago, which is in line with the sustained cooling trend ongoing since the Medieval Warm Period.

The weird thing to me is how angry and dismissive most people get when anyone questions the motives of those who may (or may not) have ignited these fires. Even mild questioning of the competence of the response of authorities to these fires cause a large percentage of people to fly into a rage.

Like blue vs. red politics. It seems that everybody knows for a fact what caused the enormous extent of these disasters (global warming, directed energy weapons, bad Democrats, bad Republicans, the Mossad, DARPA, Lockheed Martin, the Mossad, the WEF) except me.

Personally, I don't know whether the extent of these fires is best explained by MIHOP. LIHOP, purposeful incompetence, or well-meaning but sadly lacking in a crisis competence.

But I don't understand why so many are so damn certain of their own pet pre-explanations (no matter how much or little evidence they have examined). I would love to see a friendly debate between informed individuals who are both willing to examine the evidence together and willing to consider that they might not already know the answer for sure.

Sadly, those individuals do not seem to exist.

Wall Street Journal

In the still-smoldering neighborhoods of Altadena, where fires destroyed more than 2,700 structures, about 80 people have defied orders to evacuate, staying behind to protect what is left of their properties from looters and more fires after losing faith in authorities.

Residents, many of them armed, patrol streets and interrogate strangers, living in a Hobbesian world without electricity or clean drinking water. They are hemmed in by yellow caution tape at neighborhood entrances flanked by National Guard troops, Los Angeles County Sheriff deputies and California Highway Patrol officers.

“We do feel like we’re in the Wild West,” said Aaron Lubeley, a 53-year-old lawyer who is one of the holdouts and serves as an unofficial emissary with police and fire representatives.

If Lubeley and the others try to leave, they risk being unable to return. On Monday, one of Lubeley’s friends, Janely Sandoval, delivered essentials. The real-estate broker drove her white Mercedes SUV up to the neighborhood checkpoint and stacked supplies for Lubeley and others at the makeshift border: water, bagels, bananas, grain-free tortilla chips and other staples.

“Can you guys hurry up?” one officer told Sandoval as she finished. “We just got an order not to allow any supplies through.”

Before Sandoval departed, Lubeley asked, “Can I hug my friend?”

The officer nodded, and Lubeley and Sandoval embraced across the yellow caution tape.

EveAnna Manley, one of the Altadena holdouts, had prepared for this moment. Her house has a natural-gas generator supplying 22 kilowatts of power, enough for several refrigerators, making her one of the few neighbors with electricity. She has 60 gallons of drinking water in the basement, as well as a reverse-osmosis water filter and hot-water tanks for showering.

“My old neighbor was a real prepper, I learned it from him,” said Manley, who runs an audio-equipment business. “I also replaced my wood shingles on my roof with concrete ones. I don’t know if that’s why my house survived.”

Farther west, residents of the Pacific Palisades, much of it in ruins, engage in their own standoff with public-safety officials.

Police and fire officials say they are keeping residents from returning to burned neighborhoods because of such hazards as downed power lines and precarious fire-weakened trees. “Do not go back in there. Do not sneak in there,” said Brian Rice, president of the California Professional Firefighters union. “It’s not worth losing your life over.”

The message isn’t getting across to everyone.

Pacific Palisades resident Ross Gerber, president of a wealth-management firm, is among those who have been sneaking past police to check on his house, official edicts be damned. “I have no patience for any of them,” he said. “After you survive this, you don’t care what they say.”

On Tuesday morning, Gerber, 53, was thwarted. “I’m trying to sneak in right now and it’s super hard,” he said by phone, his voice winded as walked briskly looking for an opening. Police had entry points “tight as hell,” he said. “They are everywhere now.”

Using a map, Gerber said he tried stairs and alleyways to slip past authorities until finally deciding to retreat. “There are literally so many police,” he said. “North Korea is easier.”

Gerber’s house sits in a neighborhood shaded by towering eucalyptus trees. It is set back from some of the hardest-hit areas of the Palisades, where opulent homes perched high above the Pacific Ocean now make up a landscape of smoking, gutted properties.

Houses still standing, including Gerber’s, have no electricity or safe drinking water. He has decamped with his family to the Ritz Carlton in the oceanfront Marina del Rey neighborhood.

Gerber joined with neighbors to hire a private water truck and driver to sit by their empty homes in case of another fire outbreak. The water truck was initially blocked from entering the neighborhood by law-enforcement officers.

“So we called somebody who was very important who called Gavin Newsom and told him to let our water truck into our neighborhood,” Gerber said.

Gov. Newsom’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Unsafe

The Los Angeles-area fires have killed 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, sparing neither America’s priciest real estate nor the homes of middle- and working-class Californians.

“Nobody has ever seen anything like this,” said Rice, president of the union that represents 35,000 firefighters in the state. “It’s like the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the fire that followed. It’s that bad.”

Last week, city and county law enforcement and National Guard stepped up patrols around the perimeter of neighborhoods struck by fires after dozens of people were arrested for looting.

On Saturday, a half-dozen residents pleaded with police officers to let them return to houses not far from the Mandeville Canyon fire in Brentwood. “We’re not letting people up there,” one of the officers said. “There have been looters. I don’t know who you are.”

Marica Zellers and a friend zigzagged around the outskirts of Altadena last Thursday, looking for an opening that would allow her to evade barricades and check on her house. “The police were guarding every single street,” she said.

Then Zellers got a tip from a friend: The parking structure of the Super King Market offered an entry point that bypassed the roadblocks.

When Zellers arrived, she saw that her house on West Mariposa Street was rubble. She hunted for her safe, which was intact. After she and her friend managed to pry it open, she said, they had to jump back. “The safe was burning inside because it was holding all the heat,” she said.

Her house was gone, she said, and so was everything in her safe: birth records, property records, sports memorabilia, family history documents and $40,000 worth of Treasury bonds.

...

Lubeley returned to his neighborhood the following morning. Some homes were untouched. His was a charred shell. Small fires still burned in his neighbor’s yard, and Lubeley reached for a fallen shovel. Its fiberglass handle unraveled like silk threads in his hands as he picked it up.

...

Little but a brick fireplace remained of his house. “I built that fireplace by hand,” Lubeley said, his voice choking as he walked through the property Monday. Lemons, looking like lumps of coal, still hung from branches of a backyard tree.

When hot embers had rained down last week, igniting lawns and trees, the neighbors who refused to evacuate stomped out spot fires all night to preserve as many homes as possible. “If I had stayed and saved my house, I could have saved three of my neighbors’” houses, he said.

Lubeley’s regret turned to resolve. He has stayed over the past eight days to defend what is left in the neighborhood against fires springing from buried embers. His wife has pleaded for him to abandon his vigil. “I could be having a Manhattan and a steak, but I couldn’t live with myself if I did that and my neighbor’s house goes up,” Lubeley said.

Standing guard, Lubeley said, “gives me a sense of value and purpose.”

He wears the same clothes—sweatshirt, fleece pants and L.A. Dodgers cap—that he bought at Costco after the fire. He sleeps in his SUV and wakes up to the sound of parrots in the Sycamore trees, he said, much as he did before the fire. He carries a 9mm handgun.

During the day, he checks in on residents and passes out supplies. His moods swing from grief to a moment of gallows humor about his home’s new “open floor plan.”

On Monday afternoon, he discovered more holdouts in the neighborhood, a family of four adults. They were covered in soot and hadn’t eaten for a couple of days. They eyed him with suspicion, and he broke the ice by offering them bananas.

In the first few days after the fire, Altadena neighbors said, sympathetic law-enforcement officers looked the other way as Lubeley and other holdouts slipped through checkpoints to buy supplies at Costco and Home Depot. After restrictions were tightened, Lubeley turned to family, friends and acquaintances.

Monday was the third time that volunteers came to checkpoints, like smugglers, to deliver supplies. It might be the last trip. Officers told Lubeley the supply drop-off would no longer be allowed.

That night, Lubeley and others gathered before the mandatory 6 p.m. curfew to figure out ways around the new rules. Some law-enforcement personnel brought them sandwiches, he said.


Rebel force

Gerber, the Pacific Palisades resident, managed to check his house on Thursday and Friday last week without interference by authorities. He carried a firearm, he said, and walked around local streets with neighbors, questioning anyone the group didn’t recognize. “The whole neighborhood banded together,” he said.

Many residents waited hours for police escorts to their property. Officers led small groups of cars to their properties, warning residents they had only a few minutes to gather valuables and essential belongings. Gerber said he was able to navigate his way past authorities alone.

On Sunday, officials ended those home checks. “People are saying: ‘I just want to go to my house and see what’s left,’” Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Monday at a news conference. “We know that, but we have people literally looking for the remains of your neighbors.”

“I get that they’ll say this is ‘the rule,’ but it’s our land and our neighborhood and as much as I respect the authorities, we’re much more competent than them,” Gerber said. “Let us in to defend our neighborhood.”

Gerber and his neighbors have turned to their community WhatsApp, which had been used largely to air minor gripes about traffic and such. Now, it is an organizing tool, he said, “better than any government.”

He had long been skeptical of the system, he said, but the fires further showed him that communities need to be prepared to fend for themselves.

After this disaster is over, Gerber said, he hopes the neighborhood will build “our own fire-like militia.”

Was the LA fires "Santa Ana" wind geoengineered?

As a former resident of Southern California, I knew the reporting by the corporate media that the LA fires were being driven by Santa Ana winds was off by several months, so the first thing I did a few hours after the fire began was go to the National Weather Service (NWS) website to see what was happening. Although the wind was blowing down off the foothills towards the Pacific like a typical Santa Ana, the weather pattern creating that wind was not a Santa Ana pattern. Far from it.

Historically, Santa Ana winds are generated in the fall when high pressure sets up over the great basin of the inter-mountain West - roughly over Nevada. Because High pressure systems rotate clockwise, they can generate a wind around their perimeter that gets thrown off like water from of a spinning wheel. For Southern California, that means a dry wind coming off the desert that becomes even drier due to friction as it tumbles over the foothills and down into the greater SoCal coastal region.

Here’s a graphic of what that weather pattern looks like.

Image

Below is the mid level satellite loop of the Southwestern US from Tuesday evening when the Palisades fire was reported to have jumped from 200 acres to 720 acres. The date and time stamp at the bottom of the loop is Eastern time. I’m three hours behind that.

Image

As you can see, the high pressure that should be roughly over Nevada is not there. Instead there’s a very large high pressure dome over the Eastern Pacific causing a southern flow over Southern California. There is also a poorly organized low pressure system over Southern Arizona that’s moving to the West. At this latitude, lows typically move from the West to the East.

What we need to focus on is a disturbance centered over southern Nevada. If you look closely you can make out a series of concentric ‘cloud’ circles emanating from a central location. Further out from the center are a series of nearly stationary ‘clouds’. The thing seems to have slight counterclockwise spin, possibly caused by the low to its Southeast and the high to the Northwest. Notice how those ‘waves’ slowly migrate out over the Channel Islands.

Folks, that ain’t weather. Those are cymatic wave forms capable of being generated by HAARP and Ionospheric Current Drive (ICD) sytems - both are ionospheric heating systems. They do exactly that, heat up the ionosphere, which causes high pressure to develop beneath the heated region of the ionosphere. It could also be the primary cause of global warming. Of course the UN says nothing about that in its “Climate Report”, nor is anything said about that in the “Paris Climate Accords”.

That artificial cloud pattern, what I’ve been calling cymatic or standing waves, are also known as Mackeral clouds. To cover up what’s really happening, the NWS, which as I’ve reported earlier is run by Raytheon, has come up with an official term for these artificial clouds - “gravity waves”. Right. ...

If you want to know more about how these cymatic waves are created, go here and here.

...

This next loop is the Pacific Coast mid level loop from the morning of the 8th. By now the fire was reported to have burned 1,200 acres. The high over the Eastern Pacific has moved a little further East. The low over Arizona has degraded. The center of the HAARP or ICD induced cymatic ‘storm’ is now conveniently covered up by high cirrus clouds, but we can clearly see cymatic waves being generated over SoCal and out to sea.

Image

The next loop is from the 9th. The high has become less defined, but we can still see it’s effects. That, combined with the ongoing production of cymatics is still generating a southern flow over SoCal. We can also see that the center of cymatic wave generation now looks to be over Northwestern Nevada, which is helping maintain a southern flow over SoCal.

How does HAARP do this. Specifically?

What's the mechanism?

This guy hasn't explained it properly.

Re: Antarctica --
Antarctica Is Currently Colder Than It Was 5000 Years Ago

April 22, 2024

Image

More evidence emerges that Antarctica has undergone rapid glacier and sea ice expansion in recent centuries, in line with the long-term and recent Antarctic cooling trend

West Antarctica’s mean annual surface temperatures cooled by more than -1.8°C (-0.93°C per decade) from 1999-2018 (Zhang et al., 2023).

Not just West Antarctica, but most of the continent also has cooled by more than 1°C in the 21st century. See, for example, the ~1°C per decade cooling trend for East Antarctica (2000 to 2018) shown in Fig. ES1 (right).
Image

According to a new study, about 6,000 years ago Antarctica’s Collins Glacier’s frontline was a full 1 km southwest of its current extent. The frontline advanced to today’s extent ~5,000 years ago.

“Previous studies proposed that 6,000 yr BP [Before The Present Era], the frontline position of the Collins Glacier was located 1 km further southwest than the present and that the current frontline was first attained at approximately 5,000 yr BP.”


The glacier then continuously retreated south of the modern extent for another 4,000 years, with peak ice loss 1,000 years ago (as shown in the 1,000-year “Proglacial lake environment” image).

In the last 1,000 years, this glacier has rapidly re-advanced back to the glaciated extent from 5,000 years ago, which is in line with the sustained cooling trend ongoing since the Medieval Warm Period.
https://principia-scientific.com/antarctica-is-currently-colder-than-it-was-5000-years-ago/


This is just lazy posting. Two months after that "excessive cooling" this happened:

Temperatures right now in Antarctica are nearly 50 degrees (28 Celsius) above average. The heatwave is expected to last another 10 days and is a look into what’s to come in a continually warming world.
No matter the season

The heatwave in Antarctica right now is a near-record event for this region, according to Edward Blanchard, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington. This heatwave is spanning a large section of East Antarctica, and making up most of the continent. Though it is the middle of winter in the Antarctic, temperatures at -4 degrees (-20 Celsius) are above average.

Temperatures are expected to stay 36 to 50 degrees above average for the next10 days in East Antarctica. The continent also has some of the largest temperature anomalies on the planet. July was substantially above average, but as we head into August, those temperatures are even more above average. Last week, temperatures were 20 degrees (12 Celsius) above average.
Record-breaking events

The South Pole Station has seen its warmest July since 2002, according to Antarctic temperature analyst Stefano Di Battista. July 2024 was 11 degrees (6.3 Celsius) above average. Between July 20th and July 30th, the average temperature was -54 degrees (-47.6 Celsius).

These are typical temperatures for the end of February, which is the end of summer in Antarctica. Vostok, located in the centre of the ice sheet, will see its warmest July since 2009, at 12 degrees (6.4 Celsius) above average. This heatwave is extraordinary for a number of reasons, but especially for its duration rather than its intensity.

— Met4Cast. (@Met4CastUK) July 29, 2024

For the northern part of the continent, a cold snap took place earlier in July. On July 17, Dome Fuji weather stations recorded temperatures of -115.8 degrees (-82.1 Celsius), making it the second coldest July on record. Winter temperatures in Antarctica fluctuate because of the lack of sun.
Where did this heatwave come from?

It is still too early to tell the exact causes of this heatwave. This heatwave is unique because of its larger-than-normal anomaly. This can be linked to stratospheric processes more than 20 miles up into the atmosphere. The stratosphere has the polar vortex, which is a strong band of cold air that spins around the poles.

The polar vortex is stable during winter in the Southern Hemisphere. This year, the polar vortex has been bumped around by atmospheric waves, which weakens the vortex and causes high-altitude temperatures to increase drastically, says Amy Butler, an atmospheric scientist at NOAA. This is what’s known as a sudden stratospheric warming event. “The main reason it is notable is because it is usually a relatively quiet time of year for the Southern Hemisphere polar vortex,” Butler said.

A sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event also affects the lower atmosphere where weather occurs. A weakened jet stream allows polar air to drift north towards New Zealand, southern Africa and southern South America.The cold air leaving eastern Antarctica allowed warmer air to take its place.
Multiple factors are involved

Ice cover is also at the second-lowest on record. Sea ice reflects sunlight back into space, which keeps polar regions cool. The entire planet has seen more than 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming in the last 12 months. The poles also warm at a faster rate, twice as fast in Antarctica, than the rest of the world.

Global temperatures increasing also increases the ‘baseline’ for average temperatures. Strong warming events like this one can occur more frequently and have a larger impact. The largest heatwave in Antarctica, and the entire world occurred in March of 2022. The eastern coast of Antarctica saw temperatures 70 degrees (39 Celsius) above average.


This fits with what global warming is sposed to create - extremes of temperatures in both directions as systems that regulated them in the past break down.

BTW Principia Scientifica is sketchy as fuck and regularly has to remoive names of people it claims are associated with it because they aren't actually associated with it and want nothing to do with it.

The city cut funding to LAFD and gave the money to the LAPD!!! What were they gonna do? Shoot the fires?

There are 100 LAFD vehicles in their maintenance depot and some of them have been there for so long there are weeds growing under them and around them. There's an eleventy billion litre reservoir sitting empty less than 2km from the holding tanks above Pacific Pallisades because the cover has a little tear in it and tenders have been out to fix it for over a year. If the US taxed the billionaire robber barons trying to run the country right now the way it did 70 years ago youse would have the money to maintain the fire trucks, the reservoir and build a proper set of infrastructure to use that reservoir in an effective manner against the fires that happen in california every year these days.

The whole country is incompetent!!!

Like blue vs. red politics. It seems that everybody knows for a fact what caused the enormous extent of these disasters (global warming, directed energy weapons, bad Democrats, bad Republicans, the Mossad, DARPA, Lockheed Martin, the Mossad, the WEF) except me.

Personally, I don't know whether the extent of these fires is best explained by MIHOP. LIHOP, purposeful incompetence, or well-meaning but sadly lacking in a crisis competence.

But I don't understand why so many are so damn certain of their own pet pre-explanations (no matter how much or little evidence they have examined). I would love to see a friendly debate between informed individuals who are both willing to examine the evidence together and willing to consider that they might not already know the answer for sure.


The reason the fires went mental is obvious. It was extremely dry and extremely windy. When its extremely dry and extremely windy you can't stop fires. In 2019 they burned the entire east coast of Australia because it was dry and windy, that is the equivalent of from LA to half way thru Oregon.



I'm not watching that. I'm literate not a video drone. Besides I watched these two morons once before and I'm getting too old to waste what little life I have left listening to morons talking shit. Pardon my rudeness.

Okay now I've got that out of the way...

... in the interests of a fair debate I'll give it a go.

Right I've read five minutes of the transcript and this guy reckons he's never seen a cavity in a blue gum. So as of now I think he's full of shit.

he acts surprised that the roof is on fire and trees around aren't but that's how ember storms or ember attacks happen. The embers get blown up under eaves and if they lodge nect to fl;ammible material then the roof will most likely catch fire and burn the house. Then the heat from the house burning provides exposure to other houses nearby. In most suburbs houses are closer to each other than they are to trees.

i've put out plenty of cars right next to trees and while the cars get hot its extremely rare they will cause a tree more than 5m away to burn with them. And all of that vegetation is actually heat damaged. A so called tree expert should be able to see that.

"These flames don't recognise organic composition" JFC!!!! A flame is a chemical reaction, it doesn't pick and choose whether something is organic or not.

From 16 - 18 minutes there a series of pictures with burnt out houses and in a few rare cases unburnt trees but plenty more trees that are burnt or at least heat damaged. I've got video on my phone from driving down thru the aftermath of a raging bushfire with 50m high eucalyptus burny out and even then there are trees that don't burn, others that are just damaged and some that are completely wiped out, just like the photo at 18.41. The tree on the right closest to the burned out structures with only chimneys left is clearly damaged by heat.

At 19.11 there are images that show burnt stuff and burned begetation and in the background unburnt vegetation and unburnt structures and the guy even says the FD got there and put the fires out!!! he then says its unheard oof that aluminium and glass melt in car fires. I've seen them melt multiple times myself so one of us is wrong and it ain't me!!!

This is all basic stuff and the fact a so called "fire expert" won't acknowledge it seems sus to me as well.

I'm not watching or reading any more. This is an insult to my intelligence.

I can understand people without real fire experience might be baffled by this, might not know what to look for or how to read those images. I have decades of that experience and it just seems like this guy is talking shit.
