Here’s a reality check: The systemic failures aren't maintained through incompetence or force - they persist through a sophisticated psychology of collective acquiescence.
Most critics stop at blaming leadership, failing to recognize a deeper truth: the fragmented mindset permeates both those who rule and those who are ruled. The masses, no less than their leaders, have retreated into theoretical bubbles of comfort, mistaking their elaborate rationalizations for wisdom, their passive compliance for prudence.
In the bubble of curated comfort, real community problem-solving has become almost unthinkable, not because we lack resources, but because we've lost the muscle memory of communal action. We've become so adept at individual consumption that we've forgotten how to engage in communal creation and maintenance.
Communities with enough collective resources to solve real problems, such as Pacific Palisades, lost the ability to even imagine collective action. Instead of harnessing unprecedented prosperity for meaningful change, society has become consumed by the theater of affluent anxiety.
Mental energy is spent on an endless parade of privileged concerns: debating whether to install heated floors in the guest bathroom, curating what wardrobe fits for maximum social impact, agonizing over which luxury electric vehicle best signals environmental virtue, performing carefully calculated acts of inclusion for social media feeds.
These aren't just trivial concerns - they're active distractions that masquerade as meaningful engagement. We mistake aesthetic choices for ethical ones, conflate consumption with action, and transform genuine social issues into lifestyle accessories.
The most insidious aspect of modern oppression is our collective participation in it. We've developed an unconscious choreography of avoidance - each person waiting for another to take the first step, each institution deferring to another's authority, creating an infinite loop of delegated responsibility that ultimately returns to no one.
This dance of avoidance has created a peculiar form of societal paralysis: billions of people waiting for permission from a handful of bureaucrats to exercise rights that were inherently theirs to begin with.
It takes catastrophe to pierce our collective slumber. Only when flames devour neighborhoods do people finally look up from their screens and ask the obvious questions that comfort had lulled them into ignoring: Where did decades of tax dollars go? What happened to basic infrastructure maintenance? How did we become so vulnerable?
Yet instead of this simple act of verification, we compound our imprisonment by seeking solutions within the very framework that created our problems. We look for freedom through the approved channels of bondage, never questioning whether true liberation might require stepping outside these familiar but constraining patterns altogether.
The pattern becomes even more striking in our relationship with sacrifice and responsibility. While loudly praising historical sacrifices, modern citizens skillfully avoid any personal inconvenience.
We outsource responsibility while simultaneously demanding accountability from others, creating a peculiar dynamic where everyone seeks leaders to blame while refusing to lead themselves. This convenient arrangement allows for the satisfaction of righteous indignation without the burden of personal action.
This is what I call the "interior decorating" approach to revolution: suggesting ways to make the cage more comfortable rather than questioning the necessity of the cage itself.
Litigation, strict liability, and prosecution for civil action when the law owns all overt action.
Those are the reasons people check out of involvement and forego pressing against social defects.
When the voters take valid options and toss them in favor of the likes of Newsom, what's to do? Vote, and keep your head down.
In the event that voting has been rigged, people have no legal options. For those who credibly believe that voting has been corrupted, how can one blame them?
I share your concern, but until the election management is replaced, I don't think LA will see another conservative Republican with common sense be elected in LA county. Yes, I believe that there is enough evidence that the election machinery is in place to overcome the conservative votes in LA. So until that problem is fixed by people that can infiltrate and expose what has been done to rig the elections, the same type of foolish, arrogant, godless and controlled people will continue to hold elected office in LA.
ok...you don't like "California"....all those homes that were burnt up belonged to INDIVIDUALS and not "California" ....I am certain many of them belonged to older retired people who could never afford to buy a house in today's market. Maybe you are NOT old and/or disabled....maybe you never wanted to own your own home....
But this is a huge tragedy for many many people. My heart goes out to them--it is a tragic and disturbing use of Directed Energy Weapons. They are being used on helpless civilians many with nowhere to go and no one to help them.
I get what you are saying and I’m 67 and working still. We are all in some way victims of the economic policies of government. I look at the fires as a ploy to take their homes.
What is needed for a be best, do best, is that every single sheriff from ALL counties collectively meet. Then march on the capital of California to address the corruption in the leadership. Arrest those criminal by our US Constitution and jail them for life including any cops that don’t want to cooperate to help clean out this major criminal ring shadowing and infiltrating this country of ours for decades.
what about the thousands of homes washed away in NC by Helene....What about Lahaina--and that school bus full of children...not a trace to be found. What did the monsters do with them? Doesn't anyone care?
This is a great plan. It could be replicated all over the country. If Trump sells out to the corporations and the government bloodsuckers, and we will know this early, this should be the next step. It will important for people to be in Red areas with constitution-adhering sheriffs.
Alarming satellite captures reveal frequency transmission impacts on aerosol cloud canopies over the LA firestorm zone. "APOCALYPSE: Fire chief warns LA wildfire is worst case scenario" (Fox News). "Weather Whiplash Fueling LA's Wildfire Could Make It Costliest in History" (Science Alert). For over a decade and a half Geoengineering Watch has warned of the coming firestorms, worse is yet to come. Climate disruption operations must be fully exposed and halted, that effort will take all of us.
I heard a woman say that her house didn't burn down and it was the only one in the neighborhood that didn't have a smart meter. Why are so many trees right next to these 2-3 story homes still there with leaves on them? The houses incinerated, not a beam left in house after house? I also saw videos of something that looked like gun fires blasting through the smoke at night. And I also saw a video of a house burning from the inside out. No other houses around it were on fire. How did the fire get inside the house?
Good luck with that Mel. Look what they tried to do to you. Hollywood is a joke the California government is an evil enterprise and you all are being lied to by them.
Believe me I know. I live in NY. It’s run by devils in suits and witches in dresses.
It’s just hell in a nutshell. The subway has become a place for people to be set on fire or thrown into the path of trains. Our governor made a video in our subways proclaiming they were safe two days before a women was set ablaze as she was sleeping on the subway. The murderer sat on a bench and watched her die and a transit cop walked right by the burning woman and did nothing.
If the people are able to fire the bureaucrats, that would be good. But the only way to solve California's problems is to annihilate all vote fraud. The punishments for committing felony vote fraud must be a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison or the corrupt Soros prosecutors will simply slap their hands. The other thing that must be done is to indict and imprison the Republican party leaders responsible for defrauding voters in the primaries, which has been allowing only RINOs to win in the primaries. This done and the voters will take out the garbage government that is perpetrating mortal war on American citizens. California, like many other states, was a red state 50 years ago. A large percentage of the people have become morally degenerate in that time period; but not enough to vote in the people who have gotten in. The only cause for the governments becoming blue is vote fraud which has become so massive that it is almost impossible for candidates who are willing to honor their oath to the Constitution to get through the primaries. It is critical that leaders of the Republican party who are committing felony vote fraud in the primaries to be removed to prison.
The local neighborhoods (precincts) have to take over (again) the voting system. Every block has to have someone involved. No more mail in ballots. Only same day voting. Hand counts only, at least 3x in 48 hours. Even if we need a national Holiday for elections. It’s such a fundamental part of our republic, yet it’s treated with such neglect. Term limits should also be required in all elected offices and appointments to bureaucratic positions: no more than four years.
"We hope the fires will awaken the people of California and Los Angeles to the necessity of firing all of the inept, irresponsible, and corrupt people who have infested their state and municipal governments for the last several years"
This is dreaming. We live among the people we have, not the people we wish we had. Every major city in the US votes solid blue, over, and over, and over. As the cities steadily decline. There is no reason, whatsoever, to think LA and California voters will change. I just hope they stay in California and don't flip more states blue.
You believe they count the vote accurately? They genocide and rape children, but they count the vote accurately, hey? Even if they did, the problem is not addressed. The problem is the system. Representative government is just irrelevant, there is no need for it today. It will go away so long as people don't keep putting their energy into it and start putting their energy into a system that gives everyone's voice the same weight.
No, they cheat like crazy. But do you really think sane voters outnumber "progressive" drones in California? Or Chicago, Detroit, NYC, or any other US metropolis? They don't. Those places have exactly the government they deserve.
Nobody deserves government. The entire idea is puerile and infantile. Adults do not govern other adults, unless of course they are disabled. Only children need to be "governed". The concept is preposterous but that is the spell most people are in.
I really don’t think that there will be much reclamation in the near future. There are adults in DC and that’s where Newscum was
expecting to get his windfall. There will have to be changes in the malevolent administration in California. Stupid is as stupid does. This is the most maladroit administration in the history of the USA. The Governor, Lt Governor, Mayor, etc. need to be prosecuted and removed. Remove the illegal immigrants and then move forward.
Thank you both for your coverage. We left California but I still miss my Golden State. Perhaps these latest fires will finally be a turning point amongst voters. In the meantime, thanks for the latest fear porn alert (Quademic, etc.). Not jabbed, not going to be, and NEVER FORGET.

I think the time has come and gone for California as it exists today.

It won't matter if the entire government were replaced. The system is the problem, not the bums that sit in positions.
Has to be justice for this crime.

Cloud patterns directly over the LA fire zone on January 7th and 8th, the days the fires started and accelerated. Your thoughts?

Smart cities going in all of these disaster areas you watch.
15 minute cities. Just in time for the 2028 Olympics! Great timing.
🤬
So, just lay down and take it?
I agree that was the purpose and their hopeful outcome.
I heard a woman say that her house didn't burn down and it was the only one in the neighborhood that didn't have a smart meter. Why are so many trees right next to these 2-3 story homes still there with leaves on them? The houses incinerated, not a beam left in house after house? I also saw videos of something that looked like gun fires blasting through the smoke at night. And I also saw a video of a house burning from the inside out. No other houses around it were on fire. How did the fire get inside the house?
This was NOT a natural fire....Microwave DEW weapons heat the target from the inside out...so there is the explanation for a fire inside the house.
Good luck with that Mel. Look what they tried to do to you. Hollywood is a joke the California government is an evil enterprise and you all are being lied to by them.
Believe me I know. I live in NY. It’s run by devils in suits and witches in dresses.

STOP IT.
Read or listen to: “Houses gone but trees still standing?!”, by forensic arborist Robert Brame. What you will see and hear is indescribably stunning!
Terminate DEI BS. Its the first step at getting back to employed because of merit.
If you thought the west coast fires can halt a prospering major city landscape,
What about those earthquake predictions?
It tears large sections of earth apart. Then starts the raging out of control fires.
Like a bull in a China shop, What it doesn't break, shake and smash, it shits on.
Tell me how you prepare for it? You cannot! How about don't build your home there?
