Having lived in Hawaii for a number of years, it pains me to think that Hawaii may have lost its spirit of Aloha. Too many strange and improbable things were in play that faithful day, when Lahaina came under the assault of perhaps dark forces, all, apparently, aimed at death and destruction of not only the homes and businesses, but also the lives of the innocents. Some of the responsible agencies are manned by Hawaiians, who are void of Aloha, judging by their actions or lack of actions. They ignored the fact that following an illegal or dangerous order that forces victims back to an oncoming fireball, from which they were fleeing, in itself, is not only gruel but more importantly illegal.
During the Nuremberg trials, after 'World-War II', it was clearly established that following orders does not exonerate an actor or action resulting in pain or dead of others.
Reports have it that, for example, the Police blocked both the South and the North routes, preventing people from saving their lives. Drivers, apparently, were sent back to the hazardous fire zones, they were trying to escape from. Critical services like electricity and cell phones were unavailable, and so was the supply of water (Fire Hydrants had no water). The probability that all of these failures happened by chance, at the same time, is approaching zero.
Maui, like other Islands mostly operate under the Leasehold laws, whereby one rents the land to build on. Homeowners, in the main, only own the structure on the land but not the land itself. A number of old Hawaiian families occupied their land for many generations, long before Deeds came into fashion, therefore, some of these lands were never recorded. It would be real easy, for a corrupt Government to take possession of them.
When we bought land, in Hawaii, we made sure the fee was included, meaning we owned the land. This makes such deals much more expensive, however, one owns the land. There are sections of Hawaii where the fee cannot be purchased, the land owners wish to earn income by leasing the land only. However, people with little funds can afford to build a home because they pay only a small annual rent, for the use of the land.
Now, the case of Lahaina is such that what the people owned, their homes and businesses, have burned to the ground, as a result of it, they may own nothing now because the land was leased only, most likely.
Refraining from making comments on what happened in Lahaina, I let the experienced and affected people speak, as recorded, and published already elsewhere (see links below).

Biden knows what it is like to lose a home, he said to Lahaina survivors, when he recounted again his kitchen fire of some years ago, where he also almost lost his Corvette.

Sadly very few people from the USA were interested in this story, that took place in their own country. This apathy is what authorities rely on, in their planning, no doubt.
Thank you all in Singapore, you are amazing, in fact, you are responsible for well over 5,000 reads; you certainly know how to pass on an important story. You certainly appreciate that here is a lesson to be learned.
ReplyDeleteThis video is as strange as the story they are trying to hide.
