There has been too much news about wildfires lately for it all to be coincidence.

Did you hear about people in Hawaii having to jump into the ocean to flee the fastest, most ferocious wildfire ever unleashed on the island? I’m sure you did. It was tragic.

I lived in Hawaii for five years, and one of my favorite towns to visit was the historic Lahaina town, which was the one that just got scorched to the ground. I’ve walked those streets and enjoyed browsing those shops, before grabbing a drink and soaking up the unforgettable Lahaina sunsets. But that was then and this is now.

Yesterday I spent some time looking into the news that was coming out of Hawaii. Unsurprisingly, there was a great deal of hype and shock and awe headlines like this:

It’s apocalyptic! Hawaiians flee into the ocean to survive! Thousands of people race to escape! Patients overwhelm hospitals as wildfire destroys a historic tourist town!

I cannot imagine anything more alarming!!!

Now, to be fair, I don’t intend to make light of the plight of those who have suffered throughout this devastating ordeal. As of this morning, there have been at least 36 people killed in the fire, and hundreds of homes and businesses have been lost. Those losses are real, and they are unfortunate—but so is the way that this is being spun.

From the Seattle Times this morning:

“The fires were fanned by strong winds from Hurricane Dora passing far to the south. It’s the latest in a series of disasters caused by extreme weather around the globe this summer. Experts say climate change is increasing the likelihood of such events.”

You see, The Experts say that this “extreme weather” is being driven by “climate change,” along with the latest “series of disasters” ripping around the globe this summer. No doubt you’ve seen headlines about how this is the hottest summer ever recorded on Earth—and that’s according to The Science:

NOW THEN, one need not be a rocket scientist to poke holes in that remarkably absurd assertion, so I’m going to refrain from being snarky in order to make a bigger point. The bigger point is that most people simply believe what they’re told, especially if it’s repeated ad nauseam through every conceivable channel of modern communication. This is precisely why propaganda works as well as it does.

But, being the curious peasant that I am, I’m not willing to take this story at face value. There are some things that just don’t add up. First of all, all of this hype about wildfires has been so relentless, it causes me to pause and question the intent. Second of all, more specific to Maui, this has all the trappings of a shock and awe distraction.

Who cares about the Biden’s illegally wheeling and dealing with the CCP when people are fleeing into the ocean, right?

Think about who is drawn to this “climate crisis” narrative.

It would be the heavily conditioned minions of the Climate Cult, who typically lurk on the Left, and of course all of those poor impressionable youth who are suffering through their final years of assimilation at state indoctrination centers all across the country, would it not? Of course, this is the very same group of people who will vote for Joe Biden in 2024—those whom I affectionately refer to as the useful idiots.

I do not believe that it’s just a coincidence the useful idiots are being inundated with climate crisis headlines at the exact same time Biden has been caught red-handed laundering millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party through various foreign nationals and a complex web of shell companies. I don’t think it would change their votes mind you, it’s just not a coincidence that they are not getting this news.

But let me back up here for a second, back to the wildfires on Maui.

Like I said, some things just don’t add up to me.

Take this passage from the Associated Press for example:

“Fueled by a dry summer and strong winds from a passing hurricane, the fire started Tuesday and took the island by surprise, racing through parched growth and neighborhoods in the historic town of Lahaina, a tourist destination that dates to the 1700s and is the biggest community on the island’s west side.”

This whole squawk about being fueled by a strong hurricane is bullshit. According to the Honolulu Star Adviser, perhaps the most reputable local newspaper, as of Tuesday morning Hurricane Dora was about 700 miles south-southwest of the islands, moving westward at approximately 23 mph. In other words, the storm had already passed “well south” of the islands before the wildfires broke out:
