Introduction

A Perfect Storm? Or A Perfect Crime?

"This is the largest ‘natural’ disaster in U.S. history and the Red Cross is already on their way out. FEMA isn’t answering questions and the Red Cross isn’t showing up for victims left without supplies, including life-saving medications. Thousands of people displaced and may never find a home anywhere near Lahaina as long as they live. The Maui alarm system, which is reported to be the best in the world, didn’t go off and the island has certainly lost hundreds, but more likely thousands of people. On the mainland, people seem to be completely unaware of the death and devastation.

Where is the coverage?

Where are the reporters?

Lahaina burn zone January 2024 by Stephanie Pierucci

On August 8th, 2023, the historic Hawaiian town of Lahaina, on the island of Maui, was destroyed by an alleged natural wildfire. At least two thousand structures were damaged or destroyed in this once-capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii, with a population of thirteen thousand souls, according to the 2020 U.S. Census. Locals living nearby suspect that number was much higher due to the many thousands of undocumented migrant workers living in Lahaina and working primarily in tourism on Maui.

The blaze scorched the famous Front Street as well as the town center, the roots of which date back to the 18th century. Theories instantly circulated online about how suddenly the fire burned and how the winds that day were like nothing residents had seen in thirty, forty, and even seventy years of living on Maui.

Almost as instantly, an unofficial citizen-led whodunnit investigation ensued. As of the writing of this book, investigative reporters and journalists are still unable to inspect the burn area. It is rumored that at least ninety percent of the bodies of those who perished have either not been recovered among the missing or at least not reported. Although there has officially only been one child reported as deceased, some families claim to have lost up to five children in the fires¹. 

There are three primary camps of people processing the August 8th Lahaina fires today.

Camp #1: This was an intentional fire set by a criminal.

(That criminal could be any one or all of the following: Geo-engineering, Direct Energy Weapons, MASERs or microwave lasers, the Chinese, the Russians, Luciferians, Oprah, the Cabal, the Deep State, Biden, HAARP, the World Economic Forum, our own military, and so many more. Of course, our favorite theories definitely involve Oprah.)

Camp #2: Don’t be crazy. Smart people never let a crisis go to waste. Of course people will try to buy up that valuable land. That town was a tinder box and it was an accident waiting to happen.

Camp #3: Lahaina? Is that in Maui? Oh yes, that wildfire was so tragic! I heard that up to a hundred people died!

Although many men and women from Lahaina are still in a fight or flight state, they are slowly but surely joining the ranks of skeptics in Camp #1 who suspect there has been at least gross incompetence, if not an actual premeditated crime committed in Lahaina. This book will explore the myriad of incompetent acts committed by officials in Hawaii and our own federal government while either applauding or debunking other theories I’ve seen emerge.

I will address the hundreds of questions my followers and friends have asked with as much sobriety and skepticism as I can. Although it’s too early for the author to ascribe to one particular conspiracy theory at this time, I will not pretend that I don’t see how the fires in Lahaina will invariably fast-track the theft of sacred Hawaiian lands—that is, unless we act swiftly to stand up for the Hawaiians.

Hawaiian land is among the most valuable in the world, and one express purpose of this book is that while greedy celebrities and governing bodies are eager to not let a good crisis go to waste, this book will bring awareness to the right people so that when Lahaina is eventually rebuilt, that land will return to its rightful owners.

The second express purpose of this book is to alert all Americans that what happened in Lahaina can happen to any other community, as well. Whether a tornado, hurricane, or flood, our state and federal governments cannot and will not be flawless in either preventing or preserving our communities after a tragedy. In fact, governments consistently fail to prevent disasters and meet the needs of citizens caught in those disasters. They did a staggeringly poor job in Maui. The gross incompetence in Maui is a lesson to us all. Governments cannot be trusted in disaster management, and politicians who write and pass legislation around these disasters often abuse their power, focusing more on their muddied corporate interests or donors rather than what is good for the people.

Due to several pieces of legislation that I will discuss in this book, I fear that Hawaiian land will be permanently stolen from the residents in order to erect a clean energy, AI-powered Smart City. The Governor of Hawaii has made no secret that this is a priority of his, and I will provide ample evidence throughout this book. Three weeks before the Lahaina disaster, Governor Josh Green signed an Emergency Proclamation that gave him unprecedented authority to assume unprecedented control over the citizens in Hawaii and indefinite control of their land.

The final purpose of this book is the continued investigation of whether or not this fire was planned. Spoiler alert: we don’t know. It is only by our collective effort to thoroughly investigate all evidence that we, the people, will discover the truth about Lahaina.

Whether the fire was started through arson, fueled by incompetence, a complete coincidence, or a crime, the purpose of this book is to alert and awaken readers as to how their own communities are at risk of such tragedy, particularly if you live in a community earmarked for future AI-powered carbon-neutral Smart Cities.

Was this a perfect storm, or a perfect crime? Do nefarious people want Lahaina enough that they would intentionally barricade residents in the burn zone, causing hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths?

It is my conviction that greedy, nefarious, and downright evil actors will stop at nothing to achieve their mission. Perhaps the mission in West Maui was to steal from Hawaiians and exploit their land. Across the globe, such nefarious elites want to abolish laws, infringe on basic human rights, and have full control over the planet, plain and simple. If you don’t believe us, check out the World Economic Forum website or continue reading because I will detail their agenda later on in the book. This isn’t a conspiracy—it’s public knowledge.

Can we, through awareness and the investigation in this book, stop that evil plan and restore Lahaina to its rightful owners?

Can we, through awareness and the investigation in this book, protect your community from suffering the fate of what the people of Lahaina have and will continue to experience for decades to come?

When we, through this book, understand the playbook that the corrupt governing bodies and global elites are playing from, will we have the chance to beat them at their own game?

As with any good investigation, I will present evidence for both sides: the perfect storm as well as the perfect crime.

The evidence pertaining to a perfect storm includes:

The National Weather Service issued High Wind and Fire Warnings alerts days before the fires². This is evidence that weather patterns outside of human control contributed to the fires. That is, unless you believe humans control the weather. We’ll get to that later in the book.

Due to dry grasses, abandoned sugar mills, water diversions, and an outdated and unreliable power grid system, the question wasn’t how the town would be devastated by fire, but when. The fire in Lahaina wasn’t just possible; it was downright probable.

Is stupidity a crime? I think so. In this book, I will provide evidence in support of gross negligence, including:

The Department of Land and Natural Resources, or DLNR, prevented water from being released to the West Maui Land Company, which owns much of the land above Lahaina.

The Maui Fire Prevention Bureau neglected to prevent fire and life-safety hazards before they can cause injury and property damage, as is the stated mission on their website³.

Maui Emergency Management Agency failed to sound alarms, meaning many people in Lahaina stayed at their places of work or even in their homes until it was too late to escape the flames. Maui Emergency Management System touts on its website⁴ that its alarm system is the largest single integrated public safety outdoor siren warning system in the world.

4. The US Department of Defense and Hawaii failed to supply helicopters with water to the scene.

5. The Army National Guard failed to assist Maui on the morning of Tuesday, August 8th, to help Hawaiian Electric clear downed power lines and trees that obstructed roads in Lahaina.

6. The Maui Police Department used downed power lines that had ostensibly been de-energized as an excuse to block exits out of Lahaina.

7. The U.S. Coast Guard failed to show up and save at least one hundred people, including children, who floated in the harbor, inhaling smoke and being pummeled by debris, for up to eight hours after people jumped into the water to save themselves.

Among the many questions we will explore in this book, the most prominent include:

Why do numbers indicate that it would cost $5 billion to rebuild Lahaina and restore it to its rightful owners, but we only gave those survivors $700 each? How can that same government send over $113 billion to the Ukraine for non-American citizens⁵, including $6.2 billion that was accidentally sent, according to the Pentagon. On Maui, seven hundred dollars doesn’t go far, and for many families, this will amount to a week or two of groceries.

Why were sirens not sounded by Maui Emergency Management so that people could potentially escape Lahaina and save themselves, their children, their sacred family heirlooms, and even their pets?

Where are the children? Why are so many still not accounted for? Was school called off? Or did it get let out? And where have those children gone?

What link is there between the Maui Police Chief and the 2017 Las Vegas massacre?

If the police claim that they were following orders, whose orders were they following if Mayor Richard Bissen claims he was unaware of the fires until 12 hours later? 

Why were communications shut down, leaving residents to resort to what we call coconut wireless, with their cell phones rendered useless?

Why was the water shut off, making it impossible for residents and firefighters to save homes, businesses, or even lives?

What larger plan might be in place for wealthy individuals to buy up this sacred Hawaiian land?

What significance is the Smart City planning in relation to this tragedy? Might this and other wildfires be paving the way for the destruction of a city in order to build 15-Minute Cities?

How powerful is HAARP (the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program), and what role might weather manipulation play in this event and other fires around the world, including Greece, Syria, and others?

Why has assistance supposedly been turned away, and those trying to help threatened that they will be shot on site if trying to bring food, water, or generators to survivors?

Why don’t we have an accurate death toll or information about the victims, as in so many other tragedies?

How are bodies being recovered? Why are we being told there were only one hundred deaths when residents have reported that there must be well over two thousand?

If somebody is going to be held accountable for incompetence, arson, or both… who will that be?

Why didn’t our military on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Department of Defense, or the Coast Guard rush over and put the fire
