Maui Fire Has Many Troubling Unanswered Questions, Including "Where are the Children?

The Maui fire is getting more and more suspicious as we learn of authorities trapping residents of Lahaina being prevented from being evacuated, sirens not being activated to warn the residents, and perhaps most troubling, where are the missing children from King Kamehameha Elementary School?

A journalist from American Thinker, Susan Daniels, decided to contact residents of the island to figure out fact from fiction. What she learned only heightened concerns that hundreds of children were killed as a result of either gross negligence on the DNC-CCP-run island, or something far worse.

From the American Thinker:

Residents of the scarred island told me that everything on the news is a lie. The mayor of Maui, Richard Bissen, said that 850 people are still missing. The same day the governor said 1,100 are missing. If they actually know how many are missing, then they must know who is not. Where are the children of Lahaina?

The truth is they have no idea how many people are missing because there is no way to gauge how many tourists were in Lahaina when the fire swept through. And in 2022, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Hawaii had the fourth highest homeless rate in the nation and most of them, I am told, were in Lahaina.

The Democrat Mayor of Lahaina, Richard Bissen, appears to know more than he lets on in a now viral clip on X that shows him being confronted by reporters, asking, “how many children are missing?” He has the eyes of a liar when he meekly replies, “I don’t know,” as if a competent government t wouldn’t be fully aware of how many children were missing given the nature of their parents and relatives to assure the government KNEW they were missing.

As one commenter on the Twitter thread stated, perhaps the number of children missing is unknown because the parents are also dead, but children have relatives, and those relatives would surely have let the government know the parents AND the kids were missing by now.

So far, now 1,100 people are now missing, up from the initially reported number of 805, but given the nature of the region, being a tourist hotspot, it will be uncertain for some time how many tourists are missing and thus presumed dead.

Many residents and tourists, including children, probably died in the line of traffic that formed where authorities prevented them from escaping. Eyewitness accounts attest to the claim that authorities blocked the one paved road out of Lahaina. One resident, Kekoa Lansford, said “I could see from the bypass that people were stuck on the balconies, so I went down and checked it out. And I could see that people were on fire, that the fire was just being stoked by the wind, and being pushed toward the homes.”

One resident, Kim Cuevas-Reyes, made the wise decision to ignore authorities that attempted to direct her family, who had managed to escape in their car, towards the fire. She said the authorities were attempting to direct her family to turn right onto Front Street towards the Lahaina Civic Center, but she decided in turn to turn left, driving in the wrong lane past a pile of cars that were following authorities’ directions. She said, “The gridlock would have left us there when the firestorm came. I would have had to tell my children to jump in the ocean as well and be boiled alive by the flames or we would have just died from smoke inhalation and roasted in the car.”

How many of those officials knew they were sending people to their deaths? Was it incompetence or something worse?

The siren that could have saved hundreds of lives were not activated because the manager of the sirens, Herman Andaya, claimed he thought then residents would be confused and would run to higher ground, where the fire was coming from, because the sirens are only used for tsunami alerts, which is a lie, as the sirens are used for any emergency, and are tested every day. He has “retired,” citing health reasons, but it is probably so he can flee the island where surely his life would be in danger if residents ever got their hands on the either incompetent man or the man complicit with something far worse.

Water was not going to reach Lahaina to help them fight these fires as a woke anti-Americanist was managing the distribution of water, and they refused to do so until they consulted with farmers to assure their feelings wouldn’t be hurt by the decision. That criminal and now mass murderer M. Kaleo Manuel.

From Honolulu Civil Beat:

According to the sources, Manuel wanted West Maui Land to get permission from a taro, or kalo, farm located downstream from the company’s property. Manuel eventually released water but not until after the fire had spread. It was not clear on Monday how much damage the fire did in the interim or whether homes were damaged.

Manuel declined to be interviewed for this story. DLNR’s communications office said in an email that it was supporting the state’s emergency communications response and “unable to facilitate your inquiry at this time.”

Finally, there is this, the Maui Police Chief, John Pelletier, who received his high-paying job immediately after covering up or botching the mass shooting in Las Vegas, claimed his officers went door-to-door to alert residents, but could provide no corroborating evidence that backs up his claims, nor have any residents come forward to validate his claim.

At this point, it is too early to fully separate fact from fiction. Conspiracy theories abound, and some may turn out to be true (as sometimes conspiracy theories turn out to be). For now, this writer will wait longer to get more information to determine whether this fire was a demonstration of the gross negligence of the DNC by its very human-denying nature or whether this was intentional, be it to advance the terror narrative that global warming is killing us so we need to hand over our sovereignty to the “experts” to protect us or to clear out the land to let the rich elites buy it up.

Given the past three years’ experience with the plandemic, this writer is ready to believe the worst about a government that has already proven it is willing to murder its own people to advance its elite-serving agenda.
