What Happened In Lahaina?
John Leake interviewed for BlazeTV documentary on the Aug. 8 disaster.
Blaze Media recently produced a documentary about the incineration of Lahaina, Maui on August 8, 2023. The producer contacted me in September to hear my take on it, and our conversation turned into an interview for the documentary. It’s behind a paywall; perhaps it will entice you to consider Blaze Media as a producer of content that you won’t find in the legacy media.
Maybe you should have done this interview IN FRONT of a paywall if you want people to watch it.
Keep moving, nothing to see here... "helicopter" reporting by self-promoting people with no real interest or connection to Lahaina except for the money they can make from staged outrage.
John's initial reporting and interviews did a really good job covering this tragedy.
Land grabs are are not the reason this happened. It's a result of what happened, just like anywhere that becomes "economically depressed" and therefore a good opportunity to "buy low".
The causes are most likely due to age-old reasons, such as bureaucracy, "it can't happend to us" mentality, political incompetence/intransigence, reaction instead of proaction, and general human failings. No wild reasoning is needed to explain things.
Truly sad, and not unique or all that extraordinary. Far worse happens all around the world quite often, outside of our normal view.
