My heart is breaking…
 
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...houston-basketball-player-reggie-chaney-dead/The Associated Press reported Wednesday that people in Maui who drove around a road barricade blocking the lone paved road from Lahaina as fires raged earlier this month survived, while those who obeyed perished in their cars or fled to the nearby ocean. The road had been reportedly closed due to downed powerlines.

The opening paragraphs of the deeply reported AP article followed by one woman’s tale of disobeying the government to survive:

As flames tore through a West Maui neighborhood, car after car of fleeing residents headed for the only paved road out of town in a desperate race for safety.
And car after car was turned back toward the rapidly spreading wildfire by a barricade blocking access to Highway 30.
One family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later, another drove their 4-wheel-drive car down a dirt road to escape. One man took an dirt road uphill, climbing above the fire and watching as Lahaina burned. He later picked his way through the flames, smoke and rubble to pull survivors to safety.
But dozens of others found themselves caught in a hellscape, their cars jammed together on a narrow road, surrounded by flames on three sides and the rocky ocean waves on the fourth. Some died in their cars, while others tried to run for safety.
,,,Kim Cuevas-Reyes narrowly escapes with her 12- and 15-year-old by ignoring instructions to turn right on Front Street toward Lahaina’s Civic Center, which earlier in the day had been turned into a shelter for refugees. Instead, she takes a left, driving in the wrong lane to pass a stack of cars heading in the other direction.
“The gridlock would have left us there when the firestorm came,” said Cuevas-Reyes, 38. “I would have had to tell my children to jump into the ocean as well and be boiled alive by the flames or we would have just died from smoke inhalation and roasted in the car.”
The AP article has a very informative interactive timeline of the fire along with other survivor’s tales of not following orders to survive.

The Los Angeles Times also published an interactive timeline on the fire.

The AP article concludes with a survivor’s grief about not the government not issuing a warning that might have given him time to save his neighbors’ children:

Baird’s neighborhood near Lahainaluna Road was filled with kids who were home alone when the flames hit, he said.
“We needed like 10 more minutes, and we could have saved a lot of kids,” he said, choking back tears. “If we’d just had like a 10- or 15-minute warning.”
The family ventured out to a Kahului mall recently, looking for a moment of normalcy in the aftermath of the tragedy. They ran into a playmate of their son.
“The kids just don’t have a filter. So their son ran up and was just telling our son, you know, ‘This kid is dead. This kid is dead.’ And it’s like, all my son’s friends that they come to our house every day,” he said. “And their parents were at work, and they were home alone. And nobody had a warning. Nobody, nobody, nobody knew.”
The government refuses to say how many children were killed in the fire. The only reports are over one hundred people killed and about 1000 missing. Over 2000 homes, apartment buildings and other structures were destroyed.
 
This is one reason why we homeschool.

In school, we give up our bodily autonomy to ask permission to relieve ourselves, eat, and talk. Any time we question authority, it is met with being shut down.

To survive what's coming, kids are going to need to need to be able to spot when facts are twisted. In a life or death situation, these folks had seconds to question why they were being redirected back to the fire.

I can't imagine the terror they felt. It's heartbreaking.
 
This is an example of what can happen when we turn our lives, and personal sovereignty, over to the government to "care" and make decisions for us. We are just human resources and money sources for the government, nothing more.
This part of Maui is more like a desert. It's dry. A fire can easily get out of control there with the high winds. It's plain to see that the government failed the people. But then the people should never have put their faith in government either.
 
ANOTHER THOUGHT FOR FOOD----
After the great flooding and landslides in Pakistan, the U.S. NAVY showed up with an entire aircraft carrier fleet...
The world was empored--WTF is a WARSHIP doing there???
Well, I'll tell you why--because they had HELICOPTERS/FOOD/WATER/MEDICAL/CLOTHING/SHELTER/MANPOWER to help those who NEEDED THE HELP...
After the terrible earthquake in Turkey not long ago---the world MOVED THOUSANDS of helpers/dog search teams/doctors/firemen/tents/food/clothing, etc.etc. and helped those WHO NEEDED HELP...
When the terrible forest fires raged in Greece and Portugal...the WORLD SENT HELP.
When the tsunami hit Japan...the WORLD SENT HELP.
When the earthquake hit HAITI...the WORLD SENT HELP.
When the UKRAINE decides to start killing its own citizens and gets invaded by Russia...the WORLD SENDS HELP....
America has BILLIONS FOR THE UKRAINE---and $700 for MAUI??????????
WHERE ARE THE WORLDS NATIONS NOW??? WHO IS HELPING IN MAUI????WHERE IS THE US NAVY????
WHERE ARE THE DOG SEARCH TEAMS???WHERE ARE THE TENTS AND FOOD/WATER/CLOTHING/MEDICAL TEAMS???????
SCREW THE REST OF THE WORLD, bring our soldiers, sailors, airmen/women, ships, planes, DOLLARS and help for the REST OF THE WORLD back home to America where it is needed (and wanted) and SCREW THE REST OF THE WORLD FOR A WHILE...
They want to destroy the DOLLAR which has made them prosperous in the last 80 years?? Prosperous enough to CREATE A NEW MONEY scheme to destroy that very DOLLAR????
THEY want to get away from the AMERICA which has delivered not only crap from the ALPHABET companies but also delivered MILLIONS OF SOLDIERS to fight their wars and give them the freedom to destroy themselves again with another version of socialism/marxism/communism/faschism ???????
GOOD, let them get away, let them hate America, let them try to destroy the dollar....
BUT LET THEM DO IT ON THEIR OWN AND WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM AMERICA ANYMORE...and
DO NOT COME CRYING TO THE US WHEN IT FALLS APART AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT..............
LIVE FREE, Gary
 
Hawaii is the perfect place for the elite to set up their utopia when the world ends. Too far for the drones. I LOVE this guy's videos. If you don't know "The Why Files", you need to check it out. We are hell bent on AI progressing, despite ALL of the red flags; including it saying it wants to kill us. Eventually it will. By eventually, I mean less than a decade. Behold...

The takeaway from the video:

"Practice living off the grid, learn to shoot, learn to hunt and fish, learn to grow vegetables, but most of all, learn to hide."
 
Don’t try to take the blame from the Dems on this. It won’t work. Of course we all know there are republicans who are evil as the Dems, but the Dems are the ones in control! Fauci, Gates, Soros et al are the ones who CAUSED THIS! The idiot biden did O’*******’s bidding!

One of the more relevant "mistakes" that almost put us into a Nuclear War was Able Archer. DURING 10 DAYS in November 1983, the United States and the Soviet Union nearly started a nuclear war. Newly declassified documents from the CIA, NSA, KGB, and senior officials in both countries reveal just how close we came to mutually assured destruction -- over a military exercise.

According to a diplomatic memo obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by National Security Archives researcher Nate Jones, Soviet General Secretary Yuri Adroprov warned U.S. ambassador Averell Harriman six months before the crisis that both countries "may be moving toward a red line" in which a miscalculation could spark a nuclear war. Harriman later wrote that he believed Andropov was concerned "over the state of U.S.-Soviet relations and his desire to see them at least 'normalized,' if not improved."


There were fears the deployment of Pershing II ballistic missiles to Europe (also in November 1983) could tip the balance. If a conventional war erupted, Soviet planners worried their troops would come close to capturing the nuclear-tipped missiles, prompting the United States to fire them.

Soviet fears of a preemptive American nuclear attack "while exaggerated, were scarcely insane." This stemmed from the Soviet experience during World War II, when the Third Reich launched Operation Barbarossa, the largest invasion in human history. Soviet officials worried history might be repeated by NATO.

So where are we sitting today? Russia has drawn a line. Thre appears to be antidotal evidence that once again, nukes will be placed in Brittan. AND, on 09/11/23 NATO launched the largest joint military exercise since the Cold War.
