Both the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, and the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, are blaming the horrific fires in Southern California human-induced climate change. This is a bogus mantra designed to cover for the gross dereliction of duty employed by a myriad of elected officials at all levels of government in the Golden State.
As mentioned in my last post, the incredibly high winds experienced in Southern California were accurately forecast by the National Weather Service several days before they began. These winds are seasonal, blowing east to west, down the slopes of the nearby mountain ranges and towards the Pacific. As the winds rush down the mountainside, they manifest warm and extremely dry air. This is NOT a feature of so-called climate change. It’s a weather condition that has been around forever.
At this point in time, the only suspected and known cause for these fires is arson.
Now, let me diverge for a moment and speak to a subject I wrote about in my 2012 bestseller, Eco-Tyranny (WND Books).
In 2005, the FBI stated that America’s number one domestic terror threat was eco-terrorism. At that time the concern was focused on two radical environmental organizations, Earth Liberation Front and EarthFirst. Why should we think that such terror concerns would have evaporated since 2005?
In large measure, the leadership of these eco-radical orgs has been able to curry favor with liberal elected leaders and bureaucrats to see their goals accomplished within the construct of government. This is all easily accomplished through the doctrine of Sustainable Development.
Created by the United Nations in the 1983, Sustainable Development requires, as Al Gore has stated, “a wrenching transformation of society.” It seeks the near elimination of fossil fuels, the shuttering of all nuclear power plants, the tearing down of dams (they are declared “unnatural”), and—perhaps more germane to the situation in Los Angeles—moving the population from single family residential housing to stack-and-pack complexes in “Fifteen Minute Cities.”
Driving this Sustainable mentality is something also created by the UN: Social Equity.
Social Equity is not DEI. It declares that all species are equal. In other words, humans are no more important than termites. This is one of the reasons why farmers in the California’s Central Valley (one of the richest agricultural valleys in the world) can no longer get the water they need from the Sacramento-San Joaquin delta. The environmentalists claim that using the water for crops endangers a 3-inch-long fish known as the Delta Smelt. Thousands of acres of farms have gone to weeds as a result of the delta water pouring out to sea.
Social equity also accused the homes on the Malibu coast of endangering the nests of the California Least Tern.
Also, I discovered this from a friend who is a municipal water consultant in California regarding that empty reservoir in Pacific Palisades that was supposed to be under repair: normally such maintenance takes thirty or fewer days. Instead, this critical reservoir had been bone-dry for the past TEN months. Perhaps Sustainable Development is why the elected officials and desk-jockeys in LA County decided it wasn’t a critical piece of infrastructure?
California is the wealthiest state in the nation. It possesses the highest overall tax base. It has the most restrictive environmental rules and regulations. It’s also a one-party state dominated by elected officials who have more in common with Marx than Madison.
You can blame this entire disaster on authoritarian office holders and monolithic public officials, all of whom are overpaid and promised a hefty pension to boot.
And, perhaps the arsonists are radical environmentalists.
