LA tragedy may have been planned

Truly the 2025 LA fires are tragedies of nature and negligence beyond comprehension. However, one should never ignore or underestimate the possibility, power and prevalence of evil and its causes. The 2025 LA fires may illustrate this. Already there is California Gov. Newsome’s admission of a prior plan to rebuild/restructure LA. Already FEMA funds are to pay 75% of additional LA firefighters. Already there’s talk of a rapid rebuild bypassing rules and regulations.
In preparation for the upcoming Olympics, a past 2020 “Smart LA 2028” activist agenda assumes razing and replacing conventional living. The 2025 LA fires and winds conveniently dovetail with these 2020 plans. The C40 Cities Initiative has been a multi-urban movement to achieve U.N. globalist restructuring of cities. Contributors include FedEx, Google, Wellcome, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the UK and UE, the World Bank and progressive funders like the Soros “Open Society Foundations.” The 2020 agenda provided for suspending rules to rebuild and anticipates federal FEMA funds.
A combination of bad politics, budget cutbacks, neglect of fire preparedness with dry reservoirs and hydrants, plus high winds all contributed to this agenda. Additionally, neglect of fire-fuel underbrush clearance, layoffs and firings of firefighters refusing the COVID “vaccinem,” plus outrageous CA regulations prompting insurance cancellations all resulted in what could be a trillion dollar disaster blamed on “climate change.”
Are these 2025 LA fires part of planned obsolescence, a massive digital modernization rebuild, and federal/global control? Under the ashes we may never know. But certainly, for which we will all pay.
