Some of these photos are extraordinary, looks utterly terrifying.

I drove through some of these places on a road trip, beautiful part of the world (some of it not so much of course)

They'll probably make a film about it

Where does everyone go? BBC reporting 144,000 people are under evacuation orders but there's currently only 700 people using state supplied shelters.

Pope offers prayers to those affected by wildfires.

Wow, they’re saved.

Fucking hell. Lad I know who went big on '5g masts give you Covid' has gone full conspiracy on these fires

LA fires.. 1,000% orchastrated purposefully

2028 smart city project

No water

3 extremely large fires in a perfect triangle

A large area spotted in each area at different times, which looked like the sun was re directed to those areas (you can pay to have the sun re directed whenever you want)

Lots of trees in worst hit areas still untouched (some form of direct weapon)

Loads of personal and buisness insurances pulled as of late

The list goes on

Even a little sus that theres no drones been flown in new jersey now. Was it a distraction whilst they (government) put everything in place?

Might ask him for the number of the bloke that can redirect the sun so I can make sure my next holiday has nice weather

There's also conspiracies going around about the recent fog in the UK and US as well - 'Fogvid 24'

If it means we can finally win in a penalty shootout, I'm all for it

Love that people would think we can manage the weather and not question hurricanes, tornados, other damaging wind, famine etc etc

Its all part of the plan Pete, wake up! Stop listening to the BBC and get the real news from TruthSeeker486 on twitter.

The world should go back to dialup internet, at least nutters would have that extra bit of time to really think about whether they want to post about how muslamic vaccine scientists can be paid to point the 5g sun at gay 15 minute cities

chiefdave · Jan 14, 2025

Getting a bit annoyed hearing about celebs houses tbh. I know its still an awful thing to happen but I don't think the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Paris Hilton are currently living in community centres sleeping on camp beds.

There's a lot of people in a far worse situation than those who no doubt have houses elsewhere.

Hot weather, high winds, tinder dry plants, and houses made of wood.

What could possibly go wrong?

Apparently religion started in Egypt because the Nile was so unpredictable that priests could promise to control/predict it and got followers.

It’s nice to see we’ve come full circle.

Houchens Head · Jan 14, 2025

My cousin (from Rugby) has lived in L.A. for 20 years. He owns his own corporate lawyer firm. I messaged him to ask if he was okay and he replied that although his house was in the path of the Eaton fire, he hadn't been told to evacuate yet, but he sent his two daughters to his mother-in-laws for safety. That was on Saturday. Haven't heard any more since.

fatso · Jan 15, 2025

Not a conspiracy as such, but the following link, will show how fucked up things in L.A. are, and how political corruption has left the whole area unable to cope with the disaster.

It's well worth being patient and watching it in its entirety.

Literally one minute in and it's a Geordie bloke promising to talk about conspiracy theories and drawing circles around grainy video to claim they were started deliberately - I knew you wouldn't let me down.

That final sentence just feels so wrong, especially leaving things to the market.

I absolutely knew that some dumb ass fuck would ignore the message because they didn't like the messenger.
I was tempted to put it would be you when I posted it (as I 100% knew it would be you) but I thought, no, just wait and see.

Glad you didn't let me down!!!!

Now ignoring the geordie accent, what have you got to sat about the empty reservoirs, or the money stripped from the fire departments leaving them unable to cope?

Any opinion on that?????

Didn't think so, why am I not suprised?

I'm sorry, I've done some more research on "True Geordie", and it's now clear that his qualifications on urban ecosystems are absolutely top notch - will be sure to give the rest of the video a watch, you cannot ignore an intellect of this magnitude

Actually before I start, is this kind of viewer interaction reserved for YouTube subscribers @fatso or should I expect a DM if I watch all the way through?

Again you absolute fucking clown, you have zero opinion on the info contained in the video. They were news articles he was debating you dick head.

If it had been the Pope fronting the video, would that have made a difference ???

You have no opinion on anything, your just a weapons grade troll who offers nothing of interest.

The thing is you’ve shared a video which also claims it was planned to create a “smart city” which is “lizards control the earth” levels of conspiracy theory so it kinda damages his other points.

I don’t think you’ll find many arguing for lower public service spending, but even then not sure a 3% cut will have had a huge impact here. Ditto the reservoirs which are obviously not build for wildfires but normal domestic usage.

You seem to be arguing for higher taxes to fund better public services and more contingency for climate change. I’d agree, but the citizens of California clearly didn’t.

I feel confident in saying the Pope likely has a tighter grip on reality

The "articles" he's "debating" are a mish-mash of stale conspiracies doing the rounds on social media, many of which have been debunked by people who actually have expertise in the matter and/or live in California

You have an opinion on seemingly everything, which is why you routinely and explosively soil yourself in public with an endless stream of deranged nonsense on everything from wildfires to the moon landings that wouldn't make it out of a GB News Slack channel.

I'm not sure the people of LA wanted their fire department stripped to the bone financially, especially as many have not been able to get fire insurance for some time.
That would suggest that fire damage on some level was a very likely posability, in view of that the lack of any reasonable preparation is unforgivable.

It's also being reported that many fire hydrants were not functioning correctly which has obviously hindered firelighters.
If that's down to financial cuts and has resulted in lives being lost, then there's going to be massive legal trouble ahead.

I'm not advocating for higher taxes, what I am advocating is for more responsible use of the existing taxes. Stripping funds from fire departments in a known fire hazard area isn't responsible governing imo.

You've still got absolutely nothing of value to add to the debate (as usual) your still just trolling.
How fucking sad you are.

Why don't you read the link I posted and get back to us?

Posting a conspiracy video from a dildo merchant whose day job is acting as a sidekick to a bunch of football YouTubers isn't really my idea of high-level debate, but maybe we move in different circles

Because unlike you I have no interest in what any one does in their private life.
I leave that nonsense to the trolls.

Is a 2.7% cut “stripped to the bone”?

And you are asking for that, because you aren’t identifying where else the money should come from.

Fire hydrants are built for domestic fires not this. If you want a system that can handle these events you have to oversupply. And then you’d be on here moaning about waste instead.

But again I’d agree we should be spending far more on both climate change mitigation and the ability to respond to fresh weather. Hard sell under Trump though.
