In an age where EVERYBODY is SPECIAL and NO ONE is at FAULT ... (art. link at end of text)

THIS JUST IN … NEWS FLASH … Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea … Many, many strongly worded letters are about to be sent in the Los Angeles / Sacramento areas. Postal Service is alerting these areas that mail delivery may be slowed for weeks. … The California Bar Association has also announced that their forecast for Bar Members income for 2025 should prove to be a banner year. They also have announced that they now have formal agreements with three prestigious associations, two American and one British. The American Society for The Generation of Large Incomes By Stacking Money on Top of Other Money with Little or No Actual Results, and its sister Association The American Society for The Generation of Kickbacks (whose Honorary President is Joe Biden - this “selection” being like his current one in that it is a title without the requirement of function [ing]) along with The Royal Society of Putting Things on Top of Other Things. (see video below of an actual meeting)

Only last year The American Society for The Generation of Kickbacks added an exciting group of new members. The new members included management of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

One has to find humor in the midst of such egregious stupidity. Haven’t we been seeing articles as of late about the significant rise in water levels at a number of California lakes and reservoirs?

if Herb Morrision were alive his broadcast might have sounded something like this … "This is the worst of the worst catastrophes in the world! Oh, they’re burning and crashing down . . . oh, the flames, shooting four or five hundred feet into the sky, and they are terrific home and business crashes, ladies and gentlemen. There’s smoke, and there’s flames, now, and the frames of the homes and businesses are crashing to the ground, fire hoses not quite having enough water pressure to do any good … Oh, the humanity!

We can rely on you, Sarcmoge, to come up with a facetious eye catcher of a title…

I do think that everyone is special in his or her own way (which is why I cannot relate to modern tenets of socialism that lump everyone together into one smoking grey pot, completely obliterating any context of anything that actually makes anyone uniquely special or individual). When it comes to vocations, then I want my tax money to install people with proper qualifications required for the work at hand (which are brought about only by years of hard and dedicated study and practice on the part of an individual).

Because, besides the issue of the reservoir (suspiciously) having been offline…

John Leake made an interesting remark in his opinion piece DEI Death by Fire, when he raised questions about qualifications of the fire chief. “Who is the Los Angeles Fire Chief? I wasn’t surprised to learn that she is frequently touted as ‘the first woman and first openly LGBTQ+ person to hold her post’… Are being a woman and an openly LGBTQ+ person qualifications for being the Los Angeles fire chief?”

Beyond that fine point, though, it also makes one wonder: could there be any possibility that the global LGBTQ+ Team are, themselves, perhaps some kind of military agents, working for some globalist military force? The ones who show up to public protests that have been protesting the gender-confusing crap being pushed in schools (as well-organized counter protesters) do seem to have a military and very violent and confident combative air about them, almost as if they’ve been professionally trained for what they do – namely to take down our institutions worldwide, aggressively and confidently. How have they become so numerous, so well-organized, and so violent and so effective?

… my reply to Mogh’s Fire Rants …

… State to probe why Pacific Palisades reservoir was offline, empty when firestorm exploded

FIRE + EMPTY RESERVOIR =

I think everyone can do the math.

… a few highlights from the article

“You still would have ended up with serious drops in pressure,” Adams said in an interview Thursday. “Would Santa Ynez [Reservoir] have helped? Yes, to some extent. Would it have saved the day? I don’t think so.”

… So you tax people HEAVILY (I am assuming, this is after all California) for, and claim that you will provide a service that you appear to know up front that the system in place CAN NOT provide.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that by most definitions and understandings that claim would come under the heading of fraud.
_________________________________________________________________

“A DWP official acknowledged that the reservoir’s absence likely contributed to some diminished pressure and dry hydrants in upper regions of the Palisades.”

… sounds like an Engineering problem. Where are those ancient Mayan and Khmer Engineers when you need them?
_________________________________________________________________
“However, a spokesperson for the utility said in a statement that DWP was still evaluating the effect of the reservoir being placed offline (see photos above), and that staffers were conducting a root-cause analysis.” (see above equation)

_________________________________________________________________

“DWP sought bids for the repair in April, at a cost of up to $89,000. In November, the utility signed off on a contract with a Lakeside firm for about $130,000, records show.”

“This work should have been done in-house, and they shouldn’t have depended on a contractor to do it,” …

… Hmmmmm. Problem in February didn’t even begin the “get it fixed” process until April, no deal in place until November … sounds like an unnecessarily lengthly bureaucratic delay … Should’ve been done in-house … cost should be 89 but the contract was let and awarded for 130 … carry the 1, subtract the 2, add the 7 … sounds like the contract had a 41,000
cost overrun before the ink was even d… er … ah … before the mix of finely ground plastic, silica, iron, chromium and zinc was fused to the paper. Oh, I know what happened … The Big Guy gets a cut of domestic expenditures as well.

“Gus Corona, business manager of IBEW Local 18 …” Why is it that when we see the name of someone connected with a “Union” the name still sounds like a Mafia associate? :slight_smile:

I think modern “Unions” are perversions of socialist ideals…

It seems the socialist ideal is a ruse for lack of accountability.
After all, in an individualist ideal, you have individual accountability for what an individual does.
In a socialist structure, you get everyone who has been thrown into the smoking grey pot confused (and no longer caring) as to accountability.

… “I did not have sexual relations with that woman (long awkward pause) Ms. Lewinsky.”

… Boom! … right off the bat “… an extremely racist, bigoted lie.” When someone begins in a very Clintonian manner … just sayin’

Oh, and Welcome to Politics in America Mr. Musk. “qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent” - “He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas” - John Webster, 1612 first English ref. but probably actually Anon.

Just for starters, the Pacific Palisades was a hotbed of human trafficking and satanic ritual so it is ENTIRELY possible that the residential area was already vacant when the fires started. The lack of proper fire control over the last (white man’s) century suggests that burning off the area could well be the only way to make it a healthy forest. (Indigenous people traditionally burned this area cyclically). Add that to the need to get rid of the “water rights” issue (where one family owns over 50% control) and you might be seeing a correction, not necessarily a disaster.

Just thinking with my fingers on a keyboard…

… that’s pretty much all that most of us can do. :slight_smile: But, as C.S. Peirce remarked that when one observes as a “scientific intelligence” those initial guesses about things turn out,more often than not, to be correct. :slight_smile: Like knowledge, some guesses are better than others.

Intriguing too that normally aboriginal peoples are esteemed by Wokery, except, of course, when the uppity Chumash tribe does controlled burns of forests in California long before the Greta Thunbergs show up to scream about climate change… but who am I to notice?

Going back into History setting fire to prairie grasses in late summer or fall was a historic right by the indigenous people who inhabited the Great Plains of America, or in plain terms it was a ‘controlled burn’. Of course anyone with an ounce of understanding would know that was their custom and lifestyle. Most on planet earth have embraced service to self, hence many problems. Then after America was invaded by Europeans everything changed - for the worst.

I have travelled through many western American states and setting fires in order to control the growth of undesirable plants is a also a practice of other races around the Earth. The aboriginal people of Australia, and those in South Africa are among the people who learned how to keep ‘weeds’ out.

Once Upon a Time – Prior to the invasion of the Americas by the dastardly, and religiously misguided Europeans life was mostly harmonious. The ‘natives’ had established 'rules of getting along together". All of that came crashing down by an invasion of thousands of misguided Europeans armed with rifles and pistols.

Now fast-forward a few hundred years" all of that ‘history’ has led to having the Monsanto ‘corporation’ spray all your food with ‘fill-in-the-blank-here’ poisonous residue, aka ‘weed-control’.

Service to self and or service to others? Most on planet earth have embraced service to self, hence many problems. I have about had it that “caucasians” brought service to self into all cultures and are thus resonsible for the state in the world. Greed has been helped along by all elites of all creed and races and sadly infected many of all creed.and races!

OK, but once a Person begins to understand that ‘in the beginning’ a human being was created that was homogenous, meaning they were both male and female.

Here is the perfect time to think… ‘why’ was Adam divided into 2 beings, one being was a male and the other was a female?

Research into the life forms that thrive on the planet Earth will lead folks into knowing that there are examples of other lifeforms that are heterogenous. So, start thinking about the Genesis account of the division…

All excuses to not in being responsible for “service to self”. I don’t believe our material world is a bad thing and so material beings are. I don’t uphold that gnostic supposition.

Forget the probing and resigning going on, Newsom and a few others need to be arrested for manslaughter. If there are no arrests, how much more are Americans going to take? Honestly I am surprised the man is still walking the streets ( like Fauci & Trudeau). I hate to see mob rule but let’s face it, there is no rule of law operating in this country.— I am waiting for the UK to blow up over the rape gangs in the news. Nothing is going to change until people go after the real problem, the people in power. The REAL power.
