The town of Lahaina on the island of Maui is currently being totally evacuated and locked down. No photographs are allowed to be taken and drones are not allowed to be flown. The following video is open source and available for download. It was taken 2-days after the firestorm that swept through Lahaina with many adults, children and elderly still missing or un accounted for.
Many people believe that the fire was not natural and/or at a minimum, it was cause by human or corporate negligence. The charred remains that are visible in this video leaves me with more questions than answers.
On an un-related side note. I had the opportunity to work at a local crematorium this past week and spoke with the shop foreman that runs the incinerators. I asked how business was and he informed me that there had been an increase of almost triple the demand for their services in the past year and a half. Just Sayin,,,
The 2020 Presidential election was all discombobulated to say the least. One thing for certain was that Biden definitely didn't get 80-million legit votes. Was the election stolen, was it fraud, was it an engineered takeover by the Deep State. Who knows. Tina Peters, the County Clerk in Mesa Colorado, made a backup of her counties Dominion Voting System server, only to stumble across evidence of manipulation in a recent local city council election…. and also the 2020 general election. Worth watching,,,
