This Comment Started Me Thinking

Sugar cane

I live on Maui
You want to know the main reason Lahaina burned,
NAFTA
Pure and simple,
That area was a sugar plantation, since NAFTA the plantations in Hawaii died because they couldnt compete with foreign sugar primarily from South America.
Real easy, plantations died, cane went away, replaced by fast growing grasses that burn easy.
Add to that typical storm related winds and you have the recipe for this disaster.
Old old old wood framed structures mixed in with other stuff, lots of old shake roofs, and 80 mph winds, WTF else would you expect

So I did some more research and found this article from 2014:

20 Years In, NAFTA Finally Sours the US Sugar Program

Although the 2002 FSRI Act reinstated domestic sugar production restrictions, recent trade negotiations have complicated the USDA’s ability to control total US sugar supplies. NAFTA slowly relaxed restrictions on Mexico’s access to the US market. In 2008, Mexico’s domestic sugar industry was granted unrestricted access. Although the TRQs negotiated in the 1994 WTO agreement set soft but essentially binding limits on the amount of sugar imported from many countries, they have not applied to Mexico since 2008.

Woke Hawaiian Official Stalled Release Of ‘Revered Water’ Until It Was Too Late To Save Maui

How detrimental is it to allow far-left ideologues into bureaucratic public works positions?  The state of Hawaii just found out this week with a blaze that engulfed the Island of Maui and killed at least 110 people.  A series of management blunders are being blamed for the deadly wildfire, but one incident in particular has frightening implications.  

With wildfires ripping across West Maui on Aug. 8, a state water official delayed the release of water that landowners requested to help protect their property from damage and stop the spread. The water standoff played out over much of the day and the water didn’t come until too late.  The dispute involved the Department of Land and Natural Resources’ water resource management division and West Maui Land Co., which manages agricultural and residential subdivisions in West Maui.

Exclusive: Is The Government of Hawaii Lying About The Missing and Dead on Maui?

I received information tonight from a highly reliable source who is on Maui and is involved with the emergency response. The source is a person of high integrity and shared this information with a mutual friend, who passed it on to me. The source says the situation on Maui is far worse than what is being reported.

Our mutual friend checked on the source last week and the source said the Maui government is covering up the deaths.

The source had just returned from a big meeting on Oahu convened to coordinate the response to the disaster. The source said that there are 2000 people missing and that FEMA estimates at least 1-2000 dead on Maui, especially Lahaina. It was essentially burned to the ground and the residents were told to shelter in place. Many are probably dead.

Another crisis manufactured by the government coupled with another coverup. Let’s see how long they can contain the truth.
