DEVELOPING: ATF Arson Investigators Descend on Hiking Trail at The Summit of Pacific Palisades

ATF arson investigators descended along a hiking trail at The Summit of the Pacific Palisades on Monday nearly one week after the fires erupted.

“Two prongs, one team will analyze the scene, including damage & burn patterns, while another will gather surveillance video, digital evidence, etc,” Fox News reporter Bill Melugin said.

The Pacific Palisades fire erupted last Tuesday morning.

LAX video journalist “Airline Videos” captured the moment the Pacific Palisades fire broke out on Tuesday morning.

On Tuesday morning around 10:30, LAX airport streamer Kevin noticed a plume of smoke shortly before a United Airlines flight landed.

“Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Not something we wanna see here in Southern California. A fire has now broke out. That is looking like Encino. Uh oh. Not what we wanna see here in Southern California. A fire has now broke out there in the hills. I believe that’s looking toward possibly Bel Air, Encino,” Livestreamer Kevin said Tuesday morning.

“This was the concern for many with these high winds and as dry as they are. Weather watch in full effect,” Kevin said referring to the gusty Santa Ana winds that reached over 80 miles per hour on Tuesday.

“With these high winds that fire can spread really quickly,” Kevin said as he panned over to the plume of smoke in the distance. “There are a lot of expensive homes up there in the hills.”

Oops: L.A. Sheriff Slips, Says ‘Depopulation Conversation Keeps Coming Up’

The sheriff of Los Angeles County turned heads with an apparent blunder over the weekend, saying that “depopulation” keeps cropping up in conversations regarding how soon displaced residents will be able to return to their most likely destroyed homes.

The eyebrow-raising remark came during a press conference over the weekend, where Sheriff Robert G. Luna was discussing how residents have continuously been asking whether they can enter the disaster zone to see what remains of their belongings.

“I know…a lot of our residents are trying to get back and they’re frustrated. I stopped by several checkpoints both in Altadena and Malibu yesterday. I personally listened to residents, ‘Please, please, let me back in.’ So I’m just going to say this. In driving around some of these areas they literally look like war zones. There are downed power poles, electric wires there are still some smoldering fires. It is not safe,” the sheriff said.

“The minute it is safe, we understand the inconvenience, and every conversation we’re having about evacuations – that depopulation conversation is continuously coming up. We do care. We want to get you back into your homes but we can’t allow that until it is safe for you to do so.”

It’s unclear what the sheriff intended to say and the department did not issue a statement clarifying the remarks; however, the comment is being highlighted online as a Freudian slip.

California Wildfires Spark Shocking Conspiracy Claiming That Fires Were Intentionally Set to Pave the Way for AI-Controlled ‘SmartLA 2028’ Just in Time for 2028 Olympics

As devastating wildfires once again consume California’s landscapes, a growing number of skeptics are pointing to an eerie coincidence: the fires are burning in regions earmarked for major redevelopment under the controversial “SmartLA 2028” initiative.

Critics allege that these fires might not be mere acts of nature but intentional acts to fast-track a dystopian agenda where artificial intelligence governs daily life.

California is currently facing a catastrophic wildfire crisis, with Los Angeles County experiencing some of the most severe blazes in its history. The fires have consumed over 38,000 acres, destroyed thousands of structures, and resulted in at least 16 fatalities, with an additional 16 individuals reported missing.

The Palisades Fire stands as the largest, having burned 23,713 acres and over 5,000 structures, with containment efforts achieving only 11% success.

The crisis has ignited a political firestorm, with President-elect Donald Trump attributing the disaster to mismanagement by California’s leadership.

Trump criticized Governor Gavin Newsom for failures in water resource management and forest maintenance, suggesting that state regulations have exacerbated the fires.

It has also been reported that the Santa Ynez Reservoir, a critical water source in Pacific Palisades, was empty and offline when a devastating wildfire ripped through the area.

The Los Angeles Times reported that despite the reservoir’s critical role in the city’s water infrastructure, it had been offline for nearly a year.

Now, claims have surfaced on social media alleging that the devastating California wildfires were intentionally started as part of a criminal land grab scheme to construct smart cities under the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda.

Newsom’s ‘Answer’ to Hard L.A. Fire Questions Is to Censor People Asking Them

California Governor Gavin Newsom doesn’t want to answer the hard questions about the L.A. fires, so he wants the question askers to be censored. That’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact. And you can watch him do it right here.  

That fact alone should be disqualifying for anyone in or seeking public office, as the current California governor surely hopes to in 2028 when he’ll likely run for president.

Newsom is seen on video twice complaining about how these hard questions make him look bad. The questions come from his voters, reporters, and social media.

The governor was so upset by these questions that he asked the president of the United States to censor the people asking them. 

Newsom asked Biden, who was in the Oval Office sitting behind the Resolute Desk with Jill Biden and Kamala Harris in the room, to clamp down on the hard questions.

I ask you – we’ve got to deal with this misinformation. There are hurricane force winds of mis and dis information; lies. People want to divide this country, and we’re gonna have to address that as well. 

There are several things you can divine from this conversation between these powerful Democrats. First, Newsom felt perfectly comfortable asking the president to do something about the information he doesn’t like and wants removed from the public because it is obviously detrimental to his reputation. Also, it’s de rigueur for these people to control the information flow. Third, he’s fully read-in on how “dividing this country” is a reason to invoke censorship.

BACKFIRE: Gavin Newsom’s Meet the Press Interview Turns into a Major Disaster – Wild Gestures, Word Salads, and More

Gavin Newsom decided to take his PR campaign to national television on Sunday, and the results were a major disaster with notable word salads, wild gestures, and more.

As The Daily Mail reported, NBC News Correspondent Jacob Soboroff traveled to Altadena, a census-designated place in the San Gabriel Valley in California which has been tormented by the Eaton Fire, to meet with the disgraced governor.

Throughout the interview, The Mail noted Newsom appeared defensive as he often clapped and made several other glaring gestures that caught the attention of viewers as he attempted to spin his way out of his disastrous leadership. He looked more like an agitated Bernie Sanders than the calm, measured leader California needs.

During one sequence, he showed he had no clue why the reservoirs in the Pacific Palisades were left completely empty. One of them, The Santa Ynez Reservoir, has a capacity of 117 million gallons and could have played a critical role in stopping the fires as The Gateway Pundit reported.

“Was it pipes? Was it electricity? It was a combination of pipes, electricities, and pumps,” Newsom asked as he rocked and threw up his hands.

“Was that drawdown impossible because you lost seven-plus thousand structures right here anyway and every single structure we lost had a pipe that was leaking, and we would’ve lost that water pressure anyway?”

Seeing Newsom’s mannerisms caused many Americans to wonder what was wrong with him.

Meet the Man Who Waited OVER SIX HOURS to Issue a Local State Of Emergency While Entire Neighborhoods Burned in the LA Wildfires – Life-Saving Federal Aid Also Denied Thanks to Him

Just when one thinks the debacle regarding California local leadership cannot possibly get worse, a new bombshell drops.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a massive 3,000-acre wildfire raged out of control and engulfed homes in Pacific Palisades, California, on Tuesday afternoon. Shocking and heartbreaking footage has emerged showing people abandoning their cars and running for their lives.

Residents have lost their homes, entire livelihoods, and even their lives over the past several days as fires have spread all across Southern California with no signs of abating. Meanwhile, firefighters are having issues with water pressure, thanks to politicians.

The fires would not have been so severe had California politicians led by Governor Gavin Newsom utilized common-sense solutions such as clearing out the dead brush in the woods and filling the state’s depleted reservoirs with water.

Now, actress Justine Bateman has shared a damning new revelation from her friend Eric Spiegelman, who served as a commissioner under former LA Mayor Eric Garcetti and briefly now-Mayor Karen Bass. It turns out that while Bass was in Ghana when the wildfires fire started, LA City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson took over as acting mayor and had a golden opportunity to assert his leadership.

Because Bass was away, she could not make key decisions regarding the fires, such as issuing a state of emergency.

Harris-Dawson, though, completely blew his opportunity in the most damaging way imaginable. When the Pacific Palisades wildfire started just before noon local time, Harris-Dawson decided to instead wait six and half hours for some unknown reason.

Gavin Newsom Gives an Appalling Answer When Asked About Public’s Anger Regarding the State Wildfires – Team Trump Delivers Explosive Reply to Newsom

California Governor Gavin Newsom has finally spoken out in-depth regarding his and other state officials’ handling of the wildfires which are destroying the southern part of the state and it should disgust everyone.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a massive 3,000-acre wildfire raged out of control and engulfed homes in Pacific Palisades, California, on Tuesday afternoon. Shocking and heartbreaking footage has emerged showing people abandoning their cars and running for their lives.

Residents have lost their homes, entire livelihoods, and even their lives over the past several days as fires have spread all across Southern California and show no signs of abating. Meanwhile, firefighters are having issues with water pressure, thanks to politicians.

The fires would not have been so severe had California politicians led by Newsom utilized common-sense solutions such as clearing out the dead brush in the woods and filling the state’s depleted reservoirs with water.

As Fox News reported, Newsom appeared on the liberal podcast “Pod Save America” yesterday to respond to the rightful criticisms regarding his and other Democrat leaders’ failed leadership.

Right off the bat, Newsom sought to make himself look like a ‘hero.’

“So, I’m the governor of California and wanna know the answer. I’ve got that question, I can’t tell you, by how many people, ‘What happened?’ – on my own team, ‘What happened?’,” Newsom claimed to “Pod Save America” co-host Jon Favreau. “I’ll be candid with you, I wasn’t getting straight answers.”

According to Fox News, Favreau surprisingly pushed back against Newsom. He revealed that a friend of his lost his home in The Palisades and suggested that Newsom was trying to pass the buck.

Undeterred, Newsom continued his narcissistic screed.

“We had my team start talking to local leaders, saying, ‘What’s going on?’” Newsom fired back. “I was getting different answers.”

“And so, for me, when you start getting different answers, then I’m not getting the actual story,” he added.

The New York Post reported that Newsom next boasted about his government’s response to the crisis. He bragged about how many helicopters, prepositioned engines, personnel, and dozers they obtained over the weekend.

Newsom then smeared Trump, who has been extremely critical of the disgraced governor’s ‘leadership’ during the crisis, by once again falsely accusing him of politicizing the tragedy and spreading ‘misinformation.’

“It’s words. It’s a salad. It’s the form and substance of fog. It’s made up,” Newsom whined. “It’s delusional and it’s a consistent mantra from Trump going back years and years and years, and it’s reinforced over and over and over within the right wing.”

Burn Back Better: The Mayor Of LA Was A Leading Member Of A Radical Organization With Ties To Another Terrorist Group That Blew Up US Capitol In 1983, And Went On To Launder Money For BLM

For a few days I was mute, searching for a way to cover the arson attacks in LA that would in some way go beyond mere shock and demoralization. The footage is impossible to believe, even while seeing it.

Clip here.

It seemed to me the fires were distributed from above, evenly, horizontally. All houses seemed to become engulfed by fire at once, but one could not witness the spread of the fire between houses, nor any time between when the fires began and all houses in the affected areas were engulfed. This is characteristic of NWO attacks: Sudden, unprecedented, unnatural, catastrophic and not mitigate-able.

To wit:

“Have you ever seen fire rain from the sky?”

I reached a good friend in LA, Josh M. whose home was not affected, but who gave me a crash course on the collapse of LA, in recent years. He said the writer’s strike was even more devastating to LA’s entire economy than Covid. He briefed me on the installation of Karen Bass, as it was experienced by residents of Los Angeles. “Nobody voted for her,” he said. “Everybody” voted for real estate developer Rick Caruso. Yet she “won.” I looked her up.

Things Nobody Talked About

A clip on X that revealed LA Mayor Karen Bass’ Marxist revolutionary roots in the “Venceremos Brigade—” an international organization founded in 1969 that ferried American youth to Cuba to radicalize them as communists. Bass was going to Cuba every six months, apparently. You’d think most American would be apprised of this?

You can watch the clip about Karen Bass’ history here.

One “little detail” this clip reminds us of is the fact that the all women revolutionary terrorist group M19 [May 19 Communist Organization] bombed the US Capitol Building in 1983. Members included Susan Rosenberg, who was pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day in office, and who went on to become communications director for the “American Jewish World Service,” and then a “fundraiser” [money-launderer] for Black Lives Matter, [Thousand Currents.]

Stunner: Why Was Pacific Palisades Reservoir EMPTY? It Gets Worse.

An empty reservoir and dry fire hydrants are now the symbols of California and local officials’ response to the horrific Pacific Palisades wildfire—one of six Santa Ana windblown firestorms still burning in Los Angeles. Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered an investigation to demonstrate that he’s doing something, but the damage is being done right now. 

The 117 million-gallon Santa Ynez Reservoir was empty and down for maintenance when the devastating fire was sparked, perhaps in the brush, between the homes and the Pacific Coast Highway. You can see a map of the area in my story Good Intentions Might Be the Cause of Devastating Palisades Fire. 

Friday, officials confirmed that the reservoir had been down for nearly a year —closing in February 2024—for maintenance to the cover of the reservoir. 

The New York Times reports that a contractor was hired in November to fix a crack in the cover. It is unclear why the reservoir had to be shut down for that extended period of time. 

The ripple effect was beyond devastating.

Richmond and Los Angeles Have Been Mugged By Reality

Windsor Farms is a beautiful residential neighborhood in Richmond. My great uncle developed it 100 years ago. The streets are laid out in the style of an English village and there are many stately Georgian homes with beautiful gardens.

During the George Floyd “Summer of Love” antifa and Black Lives Matter marched through Windsor Farms, no doubt to protest against “nice stuff,” preferring everyone to live in graffiti ridden squalor as a measurement of social justice fairness.  I wrote at the time that if any of these Georgian mansions were given to any of these neo-Marxist protestors, within 6 months all the windows in the house would be busted out, there would be broken glass and 3-foot-high grass in the front yard, and the mechanical systems would all be trashed.  The same is true with a city. Give these types of people the keys to any city and in short order, the city, just like the free house, will be destroyed. They are incapable of taking care of anything.

Here in Richmond, we just went through nearly 3 days with no municipal water. Now, we have to go through 2-3 days of not being allowed to drink the water coming from our taps.  Several hundred thousand people in a major metropolitan area with hospitals, manufacturing plants, universities, nursing homes, and millions of square feet of office space had no water. It’s third world. Our race hustling, low IQ Marxist mayor hired a DEI candidate to run the Department of Utilities, the first time ever a non-engineer held that post. Her major initiative was hiring other DEI candidates to work for Public Utilities. Incompetent boobs, hire other incompetent boobs and before you know it, there are more boobs than the runway at the Bada-Bing.

Los Angeles is burning down. The government incompetence there is extraordinary. LA has its own DEI problems. Its fire chief was hired because she is an outspoken lesbian. Her initiative has been to hire more women and LGBTQ firefighters. Yep, I want a 99 lb mentally ill woman who thinks she’s man pulling me out of a burning fire! Who wouldn’t?

I’ve been known to be unabashedly blunt, but of course always right. DEI is the process of hiring simple minded knaves at the expense of competent and qualified artisans. Worse, it instills a sense of unearned entitlement in those who “Didn’t Earn It.” It is a cancer metastasizing through the ranks of work forces given grave responsibilities, and it spreads to the point where no one in an organization has the work ethic or skill to change a light bulb.
