Live updates: Brush fire burns in Pacific Palisades as Santa Ana winds blast Southern California - Live video at link

The absolute silence and dismissal of the large fires just makes me think people were starting to notice some stuff, and so they're trying to stop the noticing even though everyone with working senses and brains can tell that there's still smoke so therefore the fires are still happening. Even if it's to stop arsonists and looters from getting more out of control, what about the normal people who're in every plausible pathway of the fires? They have (sadly) been conditioned to do whatever some alert tells them to do, in which the alert system was glitching the fuck out days ago so it potentially made people more dismissive, and if they're too stupid to keep a watchful eye out for flames, they're just going to get cooked alive.

Unless that's what Newsom and gang wants to happen? 'Cause didn't something eerily similar happen in Maui when it went up in smoke? How people were being turned away from evacuation if not out-right not being told to GTFO?

iirc what also happened during the hawaii fires is that children in school were told to leave the school and go their homes, which were in the path of the fire

More specifically yeah they sent everyone home from school but did NOT tell the parents or emergency contacts or make a public announcement of it, and then told everyone to stay put at home. The emergency sirens were disabled, the fire systems had no water (note: exemptions for Oprah and other billionaires on the island notwithstanding), and they blockaded the roads to prevent free movement. The only people that survived were the ones that specifically ignored the government telling them NOT to go into the ocean water to get out of the range of the fire. An entire school district was wiped out almost to the student.

Afterwards they blocked anyone from going into the fire area, including families, layers, etc. Complete blockade. Illegally arrested journalists who were caught taking photos, too, IIRC. That was about when I stopped paying attention as I started entertaining darker thoughts than I'd like, but I hear they played some shit games forcing all the poor people out so the region can be resettled by Elites or made into some sort of faggy 15 minute Net-Zero Smart City. Which, by the way, California supposedly has plans on making in 2028 on the outskirts of LA, "if land becomes available."

Immediately raced to the cams. There is smoke on Bailey Peak 1 and Little Mtn 1. I don't exactly trust the maps to tell me where exactly the cameras are facing though.

Supposedly they intersect somewhere around here.

The wind is also awful and shaking some of the cameras so badly, it's hard to see any smoke.
Edit: Reviewed 6hrs of Bailey Peak, lots of smoke. It looks like it's actually calmed down a bit since then.

The sad thing is, I bet a rebuilt Los Angeles that's uh...more ingratiated with cartels, would probably be run vastly better than current day Los Angeles. In Narco-states, when politicians/civil servants monumentally fuck up, the drug lords who actually hold the power swiftly replace said useless bureaucrats.


Someone in the mayor's office probably number crunched, and decided they didn't want to (or didn't have it in their budget?) to pay all the firefighters for overtime (i.e. if they had all been sent out when the fire first started). LA County firefighters apparently make very good money (like, more than FDNY firefighters, who at top pay can make well into the six figures).

Yeah that was the kind of of pure fucking evil that made me think conspiracy for California. There's so many points of failure in this fire though that it's hard to pinpoint blame. It may legitimately have gone off on accident in a way they were unprepared for, but the conditions were all there for someone to exploit.

I've also heard that timber companies do a better job managing their land these days than BLM (not the one that burns loots murders to buy large mansions, the other one) and state governments do. It's because the timber company is much more easily sued if they have a wildfire on their land while the government has bullshit ways to weasel their way out of liability for mismanaging forests. The government has too much red tape to properly manage their forests.

Weird how right after the second scandal involving Hollywood fucking kids in the ass a bunch of old suburbs burn down and the news is doing wall to wall coverage of Hollywood's kindness and generosity while ignoring the questions everyone is asking and now the homeless kids with no records are in the hands of aid organizations.

First camera's facing south, second camera is facing west. Map seems legit.

I think you might be reading it wrong though. If you could see the horizon in the first picture, you might be able to see a mountain in the center of the photo. On that mountain is the camera that's taking the second picture. That camera is facing 90% to the west of the first camera.
