‘Natural’ disaster? I don’t think so...

Jackie Daisa's avatar

Then you have never been to Lahaina or Maui. One of the most beautiful spots in the world. I fell in love with that place in 1972 at age 12. It’s too bad that our gov. Will take care of other people but not its own citizens or country. I have watched the demise of the Hawaiian islands for the past 50 years due to corporate greed

Deb's avatar

Because Hawaii votes democrat every single time..its like California, the rich don't want anyone climbing their ladder...notice none of the wealthy lost their land or home around Lahaina...just the regular folk.

Richard Rayburn's avatar

The So Called Climate Plan is in place to increase the wealth of the wealthy with the help of the government .

J Butler's avatar

The controversies you care about? They created them. The leaders you follow? They selected them. The truth you discovered? They planted it. Your emotions are being manipulated. Your tribal loyalty is being exploited. Your desire to be informed is being weaponized against you. And we are not going to be able to do anything about it. We were so complicit.

Richard Rayburn's avatar

I am sorry sir but I don’t vote for the Democratic Party ( Ever)

Sherry's avatar

That scorched land will allow the wealthy, greedy left to purchase it at a much lower cost and develop it commercially.

Jax's avatar

That was the plan all along. So many people died in the fire and the left, leaches, (no, not leaches, leaches are sometimes useful), MAGGOTS that they are have been slow walking relief through channels just to further discourage residents.

Norma's avatar

I wonder if that’ll change now that they saw how little concern the Democratic Party actually has for them. It’s so sad to see one sided loyalty.

J Butler's avatar

Unfortunately there is no going back. The 2030 the plan is in place so there are more shocks to come as the biggest transfer of wealth is happening at a pace that is scary. Globalist taking advantage of weak infrastructure, real time climate and easy to hide motivations will continue until people get wise. Political leaders are hiding in plain site. You must investigate before you go to vote.

Be careful who you trust with your final vote tally as manipulation is used all over the world and guessing CA is ripe.

How do you prove anything? Voting for inept leaders that hire DEI and cut budgets and citizens not paying attn to what is happening right under their nose

Is asking for economic disaster and families with lives crushed. Time to change is now!

Nancy Fox's avatar

So… I’m debating as to whether or not to redo my kitchen… before or money will do is any good …?

Your thoughts???

J Butler's avatar

Nancy. You may be a not. No matter. Yes do your kitchen. You will never regret it. Just make sure you have lots of storage think it through Especially if you enjoy cooking or baking because Because that is where it gets fun to be in the kitchen. I made and we enjoyed the most delicious molasses cookies last night.

Jax's avatar

There were a lot of people voting Republican for the first time in 2024, I'm sure there'll be even more in 2026 and 2028. A lot of citizen that live in Lahaina are opening their eyes to see what's really happening in America and to Americans, they're angry and have a right to be. They listened while their government lied to their faces then started shorting relief funds in order to force Maui residents to sell their properties at, excuse the expression, fire-sale prices. I hope the remaining residents band together and hold onto their property.

Nakad1's avatar

It’ll never change. This dumbed down citizenship sees the corruption, but yet votes in by name recognition the same corruption that exists. The state is bluer than the Pacific Ocean that surrounds it. It’s a DumbocRat state where corruption is the rule, not the exception.

Nancy Fox's avatar

Funny… I once wanted to make hats with that same label… DUMB-O-cRATS!

Even Democrats don’t deserve this much punishment for their poor voting choices! What’s happened here is beyond sad and tragic!

I was in LaHaina in 2016 and it was beautiful But I went back there in 2024 to help out some old friends and was appauld at just how destroyed the whole place was, it looked like a war zone. Now my friend are telling me they have been harassed into selling their business that they just rebuilt part of due to it being partially burnt down and they are saying many people have been pushed out and not able to pay the required fees to rebuild and people are forcing them to take pennies on the dollar for their properties.

Americans used to fight back with lethal force . Read history how despots used to be handled in the early years of america , mayor , sheriff , farmer, judges … all would meet a tree in the middle of the night

Take em out, like they took John dutton out in Yellowstone

Robert Harvey's avatar

Sorry Jackie, your point is?

Jax's avatar

First off all, my name is spelled Jacqui, you may use Jax instead so it's easier to type.

My point is the left was allowing the residents is Lahina, (sp), to have to come out of their own pockets to survive while FEMA is being a roadblock to rebuilding when it's supposed to help victims of disasters.

This is benefitting developers because they're offering pennies on the dollar to purchase the land the victims lived on and, some of those who have been wading through mounds of red tape with FEMA, are selling out so the residents are being victimized a second time.

Norma's avatar

Yes, I wondered who Jackie was even talking to whenever reading the first sentence.

Jax's avatar

I believe Jackie's post was a reply to another post that isn't referenced or tagged.

JEANNE BRANNIGAN's avatar

I pray you get the relief you deserve, Jax! But it doesn’t appear to be coming! At the very least, the US government needs to clear that land and read it of all that toxic material immediately!

Kat's avatar

“Corporate greed” helped make it beautiful and hospitable to tourism. Arsonists burned it.

So that the psychopath billionaires can gain their land

Betty Jo Starke's avatar

Take it back from the lefties

Jaya Jeff Sims's avatar

You are right. Why would anyone call it a natural disaster? Why do they say it was a wildfire?

Allow me to speculate. The narrative needs to be framed in a way that’s best for the globalists. They aren’t ready for the truth to come out. They use words carefully. All the lawyers play their role. They’re members of the BAR, eh?

Loquacious1's avatar

Kennedy isn’t lying, he’s a man who has convictions and only wants to help heal. To say he isn’t a good man is unfair and wrong.

I don’t think anyone can control LAVA coming out of a mountain.

Chonelle Evans's avatar

Yes, a lot of these tragic, manipulated & constructed so called natural disasters are being contrived for land grabbing for the rich and wealthy who seek more riches without morality or integrity for the people!!

I remember a song that Michael Jackson sung,

“they don’t really care us”

Pamela Stetor's avatar

Has anyone spoke that it was the smart electric meters??

KW NORTON's avatar

Although by no means is it a natural disaster - it is only fair that we as Americans stop paying taxes to our criminal government - for starters.

As a survivor of many California fires I know the Maui fire was not in any way natural. The names of all the dead Americans who died in this fire need to be listed - and the property restored or otherwise credited with Maui land that is not destroyed with toxins.

Penny North's avatar

I wish I knew how to not pay taxes and avoid trouble.

Bonafide Trinity's avatar

Paying taxes is voluntary.. Follow The Aquarius Report .. I know that guy isn’t paying taxes https://odysee.com/@pmartin008:9/The-Aquarius-Report,-Summer-2024:5

Loquacious1's avatar

No, you must pay them. Try not paying and see for yourself!

Liz Burton's avatar

Don't waste your time. Federal taxes don't pay for federal expenditures, because the federal government "owns" the currency and can, as none less than Alan Greenspan noted, spend as much as it wants. All taxes do is draw back what's spent to keep the books balanced.

People love to haul out Weimar Germany to terrify people that the federal government's putting more money into circulation will cause the horrible inflation that led to the rise of fascism. Since we're already living under inverted totalitarianism, that ship has sailed, but it needs to be understood what the real reason for that German inflation was.

When the NSDAP started coming into power, one of the first things it did was refuse to continue paying the ridiculous reparations the country had been saddled with after WW I. In response, all the banks that had been lending them money with glee called in their loans. Essential resources, many if not most of which had been imported, were no longer available, so prices started rising because of scarcity. The government responded by simply deflating its sovereign currency, launching an endless circle. In other words, the inflation in German started the same way as the one we're still fighting here—price-gouging. The difference is here it was purely voluntary on the part of the corporations and not for lack of resources, no matter what they said then.

Mr. Kennedy is a bit obsessed with the federal budget and the so-called "deficit", but for nothing based on how federal financing actually works. In fact, the last time that "budget" was balanced, under Clinton, it triggered one of the worst recessions in modern history. The federal government levies taxes, for which federal dollars are required in payment. It then issues those dollars on the basis they will find their way back via the economy. The problem is that those who have the most dollars aren't paying their taxes. They get to hoard money and use it to gamble on Wall Street or buy politicians. That's why we need to tax them more, not because we need their money to pay for stuff.

Jeannie Mangino's avatar

I watched the Clinton's raise taxes and take away medicines that are essential for the human body. Then I watch their wealth grow. They pushed the green agenda on us. Then today police are finding kidnapped and missing children in those green shipping boats. Why isn't anyone noticing this? Why aren't they not jailed for crimes against humanity. It's aways swept under the rug.

Loquacious1's avatar

Nothing could be less true. People with the most money pay the most in taxes. Somehow this lie keeps spreading and you choose to help it.

Liz Burton's avatar

Of course they pay more, genius, because they HAVE more. The issue isn’t about amount and never was. It’s about what percentage of income is paid, and they pay less of that than you do by 90%.

Loquacious1's avatar

Okay genius, then you are a proud freeloader? Let’s see your tax return and do a comparison. No never mind, you have to be right even when you aren’t. Live in your ignorance and follow behind those who tell you things without an ounce of proof, those who never look these things up online because they are simply too lazy. There are exceptions always, sometimes there are losses in business that exempt paying them but there are far fewer than those who are paying the highest percentage of taxes and they are certainly NOT poor and you should be glad they aren’t because they are picking up the slack for you.

Norma's avatar

You actually claim the recession after Clinton was more devastating than the Great Depression of 1939? Makes me wonder about your other claims as well.🙄🤭

Liz Burton's avatar

Actually, I made no such claim, but that's the problem with ideological zealots—they have a very poor level of reading comprehension.

Norma's avatar

Ok Karen. You do you. The world is coming to an end.😂

Not sure it would even need to be organized - just a bunch of hopping mad citizens - unwilling to pay protection money to the mobsters who run things.

Although they try hard to do so - it is difficult to kill all eight billion earthlings

Easy EVERY ONE STOP PAYING IT

Sandi Adamson's avatar

Apparently according to a guy who worked for the IRS and was going after non tax paying citizens until he read the law, citizens within America don't actually have to pay taxes. So he took it up with the IRS who didn't like his questions and fired him. He doesn't pay taxes and they can't touch him. If I could remember his name or what podcast I saw him on I'd tell you but I'm in Australia so I didn't follow it further. Interesting though!

David Caray's avatar

I don’t know about that, all I know for sure is if you don’t report your income and pay taxes on it you get a tax lien and jail time.

Loquacious1's avatar

Yes, it would be far more interesting if you had citations on this. For now that’s just another fairy tale on the Internet then.

David Caray's avatar

Loquacious1's avatar

Great advice. Try that and see what happens. I have survived the Avalon CA fire and let me tell you it wasn’t a criminal government that caused it. That fire was started by a man who didn’t use simple common safety practices for welding. Fires are a part of life and we must do everything in our power to prevent them but sometimes people do stupid things or equipment fails like the power lines that sparked the LA fire. NO politician can do a thing to keep this from happening if we have no money to pay for it or companies don’t do more to prevent their equipment from failing in fire risk areas.

A neighbor of mine on Catalina has a big beautiful home in Palisades up against the hillside and it survived that fire. How? He made sure it was as fireproof as possible by design and the fire danced around it only burning out his vineyard in back. It’s as much up to us to make sure that brush around our homes is cleared to help prevent disasters but people forget to have this done or to do it themselves and fire spreads quickly with all the fuel it needs to burn everything down. Look at what is left of Malibu, burned twice now. Maybe that’s not the best location to build again… and like Laurel Canyon, if you live in a canyon, expect to be next. Stop blaming everyone else and politicians as if they can stop stupidity, they cannot. The government is US, and we cannot expect anyone to babysit or protect us from everything as if they are our parents. We have to be diligent ourselves.

Lynton Grayson's avatar

So I disagree a lot of these fires have been done by the government even in Southern Carolina the fires are in grid formation to implement the smart cities prison

Loquacious1's avatar

Those fires must be South Carolina specific, but in California we have arsonists (or mentally ill) people setting fires yet not all happen this way. Some are out of ignorance like fireworks or improperly stored shop rags, others incidental like those set by sparks from a dragging chain behind a work truck, and I’ve seen this happening in our area first hand as one unknowingly set a line of small fires along our nearest highway. Sure, the government does a lot of warped things, but not this, and not here.

I don’t understand why the President has Not Given Any Attention to This Matter. They stopped with their plans for this and went to California.

KW NORTON's avatar

I wish I knew as well. My guess is that this issue will be dealt with as the Trump 2.0 team begins dealing with the Trillions of dollars of fraud yet to be uncovered in California. There is a great deal of fraud and other criminality to uncover.

Calling Lahaina a "natural" disaster is gaslighting what REALLY happened.

Dee's avatar

"It was among the worst natural disasters Hawaii’s ever seen. " NATURAL?? WTH? Natural occurring like covid. Government treated like the way they treated unvaxed covid patients in hospitals.

Nothing changes until we talk the truth and go after the bad guy.

mejbcart's avatar

THANK YOU Mr. RFK for bringing up the Lahaina issue, the now forgotten topic, but extremely important for many reasons. It was/is unbelievable tragedy, that's why I've spend quite a lot of time for trying to analyze every report on it possible. While being affected by Bay Area fires, years back, it was obvious to me, a not fire specialist, that something does not add up. Some of the links to these events, committed crimes, pictures, interviews, etc. are at:

Joel W. Hay, PhD's avatar

It seems like you may be rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The US has directed energy weapons and a DEW base on Maui. They can vaporize any city in the world in seconds...faster, cleaner and cheaper than using nukes. What's a little pollution when you can death ray anyone on the planet?

Howie's avatar

Your statement about US (or any other country for that matter) being able to vaporize cities is total fiction. Obviously your PhD isn't in science. And if it is . . . yikes!

Self-diffraction makes it almost impossible for DEWs to direct energy such that the energy density would be great enough to do what you suggest, even slightly.

If it were possible to use DEWs to "vaporize" even missiles or planes, then no one would be using patriot missiles, "iron domes" of missiles & rockets, etc. And fighter planes wouldn't need anything more than "star wars" or "star trek" type DEWs or lasers instead of machine guns or under-wing missiles. Reagan's "star wars" defense system... nope.

Ralph Lewis's avatar

So, Howie, what is your specialty ?

Denial ? ! Unimaginable Fictions, PhD ?

Why did so many BLUE items NOT incinerate at Lahaina ? Why was the Sheriff at Lahaina also the Coroner ? ( that’s illegal … unless hiding bodies is ‘necessary’ ) Why was he ‘coincidentally’ transferred to “oversee” Lahaina after he was also Sheriff at the Las Vegas shooting massacre ! ?

Do you know anything about PLASMA physics ? aka: the 4th state of matter. It was used during 9/11 too AND COVERED UP by the U.S’s PentaGONE and their allie$ who tried to sink and murder everyone on The “U.S.S. Liberty” after the genociders in the Deep State $taged the U.S. to be evermore warmongers based on WAR-decreed & STOLEN REAL ESTATE after WW II !

I wish you had visited Palestine and Gaza and posted about the horrors there which somehow you are ignoring!

IsThisOsbornCox's avatar

Maybe you could report on it…

Nuance&context's avatar

Maybe not everything is about Palestine. Especially when there is no country called Palestine. Nor has there ever been. The greatest horrors there are what Hamas did when they invaded israel from Gaza with 3000 Palestinianmen and committed actual horrors. And what Hamas has done to its people and continues to do stealing g a8d israel let's in and shooting anyone who tries to leave areas where Israel warns they'll attack based on where Hamas is hiding.

What about the horrors of the Israeli and other hostages chained and tortured and starved underground for 2 years

You have a VERY selective idea of what horror is.

Bonnie Jean Blackmore's avatar

Thank you so much for coming to Lahaina and seeing first hand what is going on. Eddy Garcia of Living Earth Systems is a great friend and is now the head of the We the People party in Maui County. He is doing what need to be done for the health and safety of our island and its people. Having you in our corner will help us restore and thrive and to become a model for other disaster relief recoveries around the world. I love you Bobby!!!!

Tom Tunes's avatar

This wasn't a natural disaster, and this is not incompetence. This was a deliberate, planned and executed mass murder and burnout of homes in order to steal the owners' land. This was done with the help of local, county, state, and federal officials, just like the ones that "faked pandemics", to use RFK Jr.'s own words.

Truthseeker's avatar

The progressives hypocrisy is on full display.

In the age of diversity, equity and inclusion… Josh Green caught on tape saying how he’s looking for ways to acquire the land.

Narcissists occasionally tell the truth- if you’re listening carefully.

If the last native Hawaiians are moved off this land in Lahaina - in the year 2024…. It will be an absolute travesty!!

What I have heard is-

1. Landowners are being denied access to their property

Everything is being controlled by the government …at a snail’s pace. Clean up is delaying any rebuilding because of ‘safety’ and cleanup will cost a small fortune for a private homeowner

2. people are being foreclosed on by banks … because insurance companies are being denied entry to file claims… therefore homeowners can’t get insurance settlements and make payments on burned down land and property …and also afford rent

So… foreclosures are easy to seize by huge corporations

Everything about this is wrong.
