Palisades Fire

January 9, 2025 Hunter Wallace California, Environment, Politics, Populists, Progressives 51

Just the other day, Kyle Kulinski lamented the fact that California never built its high speed rail system. Unfortunately, it appears they have bigger problems like the fire hydrants in Malibu.

  1. When I think of LA women?

    I think Alice Webb!

    To all the folks affected by this tragic loss,

    Rebuild and never trust your politicians!

    God Bless!

  2. Love the pic of Guv. Greathair taking a selfie before the flames. The true irony is that regardless of what outrages and crimes he commits, the Calitards would vote for him again while blaming the whole mess on Trump. Literally beyond all hope of redemption.

    Of course Elon and Don would probably say we need to replace the fire departments with private rackets run by the usual suspects and H1Bs. Bad as they would be, they could not to that much worse than the government union clown-show presently under way.

    • Voting for your group, no matter what, is pretty much the norm in most third world countries that have elections. Not going to any different in America now.

      • Except for whites, who are split into at least two groups. Groids, Pajeets, Beaners, Asians, Jews and others all vote for the group interest.

  3. As FDR said, nothing in politics happens by accident. So a city that is designated as a Smart City in the making burns, because people at the top prevented forest management and cut off the water to the fire hydrants and ruined the fire department with applied Judaism (DEI). And where did those 100 mph wind gusts come from, just at the right time? It is the DOD that controls the weather in this country.

    And just before the regime changes on the 20th meaning the op was now or never.

    Not an accident. This is the planned result.

    • If we’re going down the conspiracy theory route, then I’ve got one, in line with what Whitney Webb reported in the past (HT: November)

      BlackRock and the Vanguard Group have bought up millions of dollars, and probably billions of dollars, in housing and private property over the last 35 years. Cheap land and housing, like we had during the Homestead Act, is gone. Median housing prices have skyrocketed since the 1990s from something like $210K to north of $400K. The infinity Brown Deluge causes that on the demand side, but the mass buying of private property by giant Jewish conglomerates causes it on the supply side.

      Whitney Webb’s theory is that BlackRock and Vanguard, along with the Davos crowd, will soon try to make entire continents into their own private property. All land will belong to them by legal right. Cross reference this with what we know about Jewish dominance and Talmudic prophecy (“the world is belongs to us!”), and you get a recipe for Larry Fink and his tribe having private property rights over the whole world. As they explicitly told us in November 2016: “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”

      Insofar as these fires in southern California were allowed to happen, its obvious what comes next. All those homes on valuable beachfront property in Pacific Palisides and Malibu belong mostly to upper middle class residents whose insurance companies likely won’t cover their losses because the whole insurance model breaks down under such conditions. Just like in Russia in the early 1990s, I’m sure (((businessess))) will swoop in, buy up that beachfront property for pennies on the dollar, rebuild all the houses within 5 years, and boom, no more nice ocean front property for goyim scum.

      Whitney Webb also postulated that the privatization of the world will happen through conservative politicians and conservative support. “Its their property, they get to do with it whatever they want!” has been normalized since at least the Reagan Administration. It won’t be libtards that administrate Jewish tyranny over the world. It will be conservatives.

      Sad.

        (((Private equity firms))) Are buying most mobile home parks and pricing the working poor out of the last resort for affordable housing.

        ” try to make entire continents into their own private property. “. It’s happening with Ukraine.

      • @DP84,

        Whitney doesn’t engage in so-called “conspiracy theories.” She unravels conspiracies between (((organized crime))), (((financial interests))), and governments. All of her conclusions are backed by reams of paper trails, and when she does use conjecture, which she does not really like to do, it is the definition of an educated guess.

        Yes, Miss Webb would be a perfect ‘Girl Friday’ for me. It is not too often that I find a woman’s mind an aphrodisiac, but her’s fits the bill. Not only that, but she’s incredibly brave in publishing and speaking out where her research had led. Unlike Ryan Dawson, she doesn’t compare what the jews are doing in Gaza to NS Germany.

        I hope that other OD readers follow Whitney on Unlimited Hangout, Rumble, and X/Twitter.

          To me these L.A. wildfires are a good as an example as you could get of how messed up both political factions are. If the liberals had worried as much about filling reservoirs and making sure hydrants worked as they did worrying about protecting criminal aliens and sex changes for 7 year olds, they could have done better fighting it. As for the conservatives, there’s no climate change drill, drill, drill. All their b.s. sounds like oil company hacks wrote it.

    • Really, the wealthiest democrat donors purposely burnt down their own neighborhoods filled with stuff like Picassos just to play some sort of 4D chess? They built a city in a major wildfire zone out of ordinary building materials like timber that might be fine for Indianapolis? But in LA county you need a whole new approach, not only seismic resistant, but now brushfire proof construction. Now the dams that Newsome removed for Salmon are up on the Oregon border and had no impact on these fires, it does show a general mismanagement of water resources by a government of eggheads who have an anti human Sheldon Cooper type ideation of nature over people and don’t give a rats ass about the civilizational destruction that will result by their hobbyhorse attempts to basically overthrow the industrial revolution so they can live out their noble savage delusions and discover that life in nature is really brutal, short, and nasty.

  4. This is what discivilization looks like. When you invert Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and prioritize DEI hires, gender-diversity & the welfare of fish over *firefighting*, don’t be surprised when your society is without ‘luxuries’ like water & shelter.

  6. Southern California is overrun with the Third World. Orange County is full of various Asians while LA County and the City are majority Hispanic. There are various groups of people from all the world though: Tibetans, Nepalese, Caribbean types, Indians (mostly dot, a few feather), real Africans, Central Asians, West Hollywood is fag central and The Usual Suspects are a big presence too. Whites are a minority and the common enemy.

    Unfortunately for the Third World types and the Whites who choose or must live amongst them, the non-Whites’ level of competence is low, especially in an emergency. Notice the mayor, Karen Bass, with her thousand yard stare into nothingness as she returns from Ghana to see LA on fire. She just shutdown. She has no idea what to do and neither do the other diverse types either. It’s actually too late to fix things now anyway, so much has been destroyed after decades of bad decisions.

    Import the Third World, become the Third World. It’s impossible for the average, public schooled, TV addicted, Hollywood propaganda immersed White person to shake off the lies they, their grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, teachers, friends, almost everyone they know have been marinating in all of their lives. Even when the reality of Third World failure bites them their first reaction is denial of reality: that all men are not created equal.

    Don’t you know, you horrible racist, All Men(?) are created Equal, race is just a social construct, the next Government program will fix the coloreds’ social pathologies, they are victims of slavery, discrimination, oppression? It says so in the Bible or my college textbook, or the Constitution or somewhere, I just know it. Even after literally being burned out of their homes most Whites won’t dig down into the fundamental truth: race is real, it’s not a social construct, it’s genetic and therefore unchangeable, that non-Whites both despise us and want to be like us at the same time, that racial differences are irreconcilable and Third World means failure.

    The most difficult truth for White “liberals” and their “Conservative” allies to swallow is that the re-founding of America in the 1960s as a multi-cult, anti-White, post racial utopia is a failed experiment leading to a failed nation. The Tangerine Turd and his followers point out the manifest failures of the Left-Wing Establishment, which is great but they are unaware that the rot is down to the foundation of the country and the current ruling class needs to be removed, root and branch to start, start, fixing things.

    Good luck with that. More failure is ahead, it’s a buffet of failure that’s going to be served, good and hard, too. Personally prepare for what’s coming, that’s all you can do. The country is unfixable through politics or the current corrupt, self-serving establishment.

      “race is real, it’s not a social construct, it’s genetic and therefore unchangeable”
      But with our knowledge of genetics and inferential statistics we do have the potential to breed better humans and remove defective attributes.
      The great crime is that we are moving in the opposite direction, being bred down.

      Guess what, the right to anonymity is an unenumerated right retained by the people. That includes the right to buy stuff with cash. Banning cash/cash transactions is unconstitutional and your congressman should be reminded of this fact if necessary. I try and boycott any stores/businesses that ban cash transactions.

  9. Essentially we need new Federal Laws, Programs, Orders, and Regulations. They will be called the Redemption Acts. The people who implement the law will be charged with rebuilding destroyed and damaged places like California, New York, New Orleans, Birmingham, etc. They will be called Redeemers. The Redemption Act will, like the Reconstruction Act, eliminate all Civil Governments in our rebelious, treasonous and occupied non-White States, Counties, and Communities.
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redeemers

    Just like the Reconstruction Act, the Redemption Act shall place these areas under military government. Just like under Reconstruction, all of these Democrat and non-White leaders in these areas, whether politicians, dog catchers, estate owners, upper class oligarchs, etc shall be removed from office. We will send various White Southrons to these areas, who will quickly grab up the properties from the carpets to the big mansions, and who shall be placed by the military governments in civil authorities. We will then deport the entire foreign origin population whose family wasnt here prior to 1945. Then watch places like California and Jackson Mississippi and Birmingham Alabama and New York City and Chicago, blossom like a rose again. Make America Great Again!

      Basically agree, except for your highly inaccurate description of the Reconstruction. The Yankee lunatics installed non-whites (kneegrows) in office in the areas occupied by the army (which remained until 1877). While the plantation owners and even small white farmers had their lands confiscated via hiked-up taxes imposed by the military occupation regime (allowing land to be acquired by looters for pennies on the dollar), carpetbaggers (the looters) flooded in to establish a new oligarchy which was several orders worse than the previous one. Read Mitchell’s book Gone with the Wind sometime. The 1939 movie was just a Pedowood parody. Mitchell did a massive amount of research and interviews of folks who lived through the era. The feds (quelle surprise) were criminals and the army was made up of urban thugs from places like NYC. Other Southern historians of the era back up Mitchell’s overall picture in the novel.

  11. Wildfires in the Santa Monica mtns ….. well duh

    Then mudslides and cliff collapses in the spring rains ….. well duh.

    Yeh, this is really new, not! The Belair fires of 60 years ago…. same , same, but only bigger. Lessons never learned .

    Pack 10’s of millions of immigrants into an area and wonder why there is a water shortage, failure of infrastructure etc. overcrowding ….

    Before the WHITE man, LA was a desert in summer and a swamp in winter. It took people like Mulholland and other WHITES to bring water to La and dump the winter excess via channeling the LA and San Gabriel rivers. All WHITE built infrastructure.

    Living on the wealth our ancestors created and squandering it at breakneck speed.

    As America loses its WHITENESS we will see ever increasing failures across all institutions. Things such as this mismanagement are only the tip of the tip of things to come.

    • Once in office, he needs to do a lot more than call for that criminal’s resignation. He should declare a state of emergency in Kalifornistan and send in the military to arrest the entire state government from Guv. Greathair all the way down on charges of treason. Install a military administration. Obviously this is a pipe-dream.

      Best to let Greathair and the mafias controlling that God-forsaken shithole to secede. Let Mexico bail their miserable leftard asses out, or Greathair’s pals in China (we could take bets on how long it would take the Chinese to arrange for his disappearance). The gaslight media (as always) is lying about this event.

      Here’s a small sample of what lügenpresse et al are omitting

      *Greathair and his rubber-stamp ‘legislature’ cut the state fire budget by 100 million last year
      *Greathair is working with (((developers))) to re-zone Pacific Palisades from R1 (single-family homes) to R3 (apartments)
      *Pacific Palisades reservoir was empty for cleaning and maintenance the past month
      *The three major fires started at the same time

      That’s just a very small sample. Several arrests made for folks starting fires, the usual BS with the DEI circus and clowns like Bass, etc., etc., etc. These fires stink of Blackrock, et al.

  14. Below was posted on Zero Hedge. He does bring up a point regarding rebuilding. In CA, hard to get permits, lots of red tape. Even more so for ocean front property. Although, I’m not too sure these virtue signalling Blues will now start voting Red. Too much of a mental disconnect for them. Should be interesting to see how much help the LA area gets compared to the people still living in tent after that hurricane. But our coastal elites can’t be bothered with all the smelly people who live between the coasts.

    • Correction: hard to get a permit, true but there is more “understanding” from the Costal Commission for the good and great people who have the money to throw around.

      After the dust settles from this catastrophe look for private equity types to have all permitting streamlined for them.

  16. It wasn’t that long ago as far as human history goes that people had to live in pandemic fear of fires leveling entire cities, and they weren’t paranoid in being that way.

    Chicago 1871, everyone knows. The cow kicking over a bucket genesis story is probably a legend.

    My native St. Louis, 1849. HW, if you’ve wondered why the older parts of St. Louis City is mostly or all brick, it’s because, after 1849 in the rebuild, city ordinances came in that they had to be brick or non-flammable. They were only repealed after fire defense got that good and space between residences got far enough.

    London, 1666, probably the most apropos number of a year. The current St. Paul’s Cathedral is a later that century rebuild of the one that burned in 1666. And the one that existed before was itself a rebuild after one that burned in an 11th century fire that leveled London.

    Of course, Rome in 64 AD. Best theory is that it started in the grill room of the stadium where chariot races were held. To show that Nero didn’t have the fire started or wasn’t fiddling, he turned himself into a volunteer firefighter.

    • @countenance to add to your list, a little known event. The Peshtigo (Wisconsin) fire started on the same day as the Chicago fire (Oct. 8 1871) and is, thus, less well known. Killed way more than the Chicago Fire. Burned around 1.2 million acres and also the deadliest wild fire – 2200 or more killed. Exact number unkown.

    Last night I took a walk after dark
    A swingin’ place called Palisades Park
    To have some fun and see what I could see
    That’s where the Fires are

    I took a ride on a fire engine slug
    That Mayor I sat beside was awful smug
    After we stopped she was holdin’ press confabs
    My heart was thumpin’

    Up like a rocket ship
    Down like a roller coaster
    Back like a loop-the-loop
    And around like a merry-go-round

    she bullshitted the press again and again
    she danced around the truth and then
    And when I could I said that lady Mayor was awfully smug
    In the tunnel of lies

    You’ll never know how great a kissoff can feel
    When you deal with a lying heel
    When I fell into despair
    Down at Palisades Park

  25. The quota-hire Mayor of LA obviously has her fingerprints all over this catastrophe. Imagine cutting much-needed $ from your Fire Dept. in order to maintain funding for the city’s DEI programs. Brilliance of the first degree. Really brethren, is this individual the best the Democratic Party could hand-pick to install as mayor???
    “Governor Brylcreem” hasn’t exactly bathed himself in glory (or IQ points) either. Letting a crucially important reservoir become incapacitated in order to preserve an obscure & probably non-existent minnow species, coupled with brain dead forest mgmt., takes nit-wittery to a whole new level.
