Burning Questions: Are Los Angeles Wildfires Linked to Smart City Development?

Show Notes
Transcript

The California wildfires in Los Angeles have sparked claims of deliberate land clearing for a project known as "SmartLA 2028," allegedly linked to infrastructure development for the 2028 Olympics. Proponents of these theories argue that advanced technologies, including AI-controlled systems or direct energy weapons (DEWs), were employed to initiate or manipulate the fires. They point to a peculiar pattern of destruction, with some noting that homes equipped with smart meters disproportionately burned while adjacent structures remained untouched. This has fueled speculation about targeted destruction under the guise of natural disaster, raising questions about the intersection of technology, urban planning, and ethical governance.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.599
Welcome back to Broadcasting Seeds, the podcast where we dig

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.240
into the strange, the shadowy, and the downright unsettling, planting

3
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.560
seeds of curiosity in the minds of anyone brave enough

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.559
to tune in. I'm your host, Bennett Tanton, and today

5
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.760
we're diving into a topic that's hotter than the wildfires

6
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:20.960
we're about to talk about.

7
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:21.879
Literally.

8
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.920
You've seen the headlines, the dramatic drone footage of scorched neighborhoods,

9
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:31.440
and maybe you've heard the whispers. Were the devastating California

10
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:36.359
wildfires just a tragic natural disaster or with something more

11
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.159
calculated at play? Some folks are pointing fingers at a

12
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.600
project called smart LA twenty twenty eight, a supposed urban

13
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.600
planning initiative tied to the upcoming twenty twenty eight Olympics

14
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:53.479
in Los Angeles, the claim that these fires weren't random,

15
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:58.439
but rather deliberate, engineered to clear land for high tech infrastructure,

16
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.079
and if that wasn't spice enough, These theories rope in

17
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:08.840
some heavy hitters, AI controlled systems, direct energy weapons, yes lasers,

18
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.680
and even suspicions about why homes with smart meters seemed

19
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.599
to ignite while others stood untouched. Look, I know this

20
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.640
sounds like the plot of a Netflix thriller, but when

21
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.200
you peel back the layers of this story, it starts

22
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:28.879
to feel uncomfortably plausible. So today we're going to explore

23
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.840
this rabbit hole. Whether you're here to debunk, believe, or

24
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.079
just scratch that itch of curiosity, this episode promises to

25
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.680
leave you with more questions than answers, and maybe just

26
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.079
enough breadcrumbs to start piecing the puzzle together yourself. Will

27
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.159
break it all down in three parts. First, we'll set

28
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.840
the stage with the official wildfire narrative and introduce the

29
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.599
claims surrounding smart LA twenty twenty eight. Then we'll get

30
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.280
into the strange destruction patterns, WHI are some homes left

31
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.840
standing while others burn? And what's this talk about smart meters? Finally,

32
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.199
we'll look at the bigger picture, the potential misuse of

33
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:16.479
technology and the ethical dilemmas lurking behind the shiny facade

34
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.120
of progress. So buckle up, my friends. If you thought

35
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.680
the fires were hot, wait until we turn up the

36
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.599
heat on these theories. Let's get into.

37
00:02:25.360 --> 00:03:00.400
It all right.

38
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.759
Let's start with what we know, or at least what

39
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:09.319
we're told California wildfires are no stranger to headlines. Every year,

40
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.520
it seems like parts of the state go up in flames.

41
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.319
The official narrative pins the blame on a combination of factors,

42
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:22.400
dry conditions, poorly managed forests, and the ever present specter

43
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:27.199
of climate change. Lightning strikes, downed power lines, and even

44
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.520
careless campers with an illegal barbecue are often named as

45
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.800
the culprits. Sounds logical, right, It checks out on the surface,

46
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:42.080
But then there's this fire. Los Angeles, a sprawling urban jungle,

47
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:47.159
didn't just see the outskirts burn. Entire residential neighborhoods were

48
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:52.639
reduced to ash, while some buildings remained mysteriously untouched. Enter

49
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:57.960
the theory sert smart LA twenty twenty eight. Proponents claim

50
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.919
that these fires weren't just bad luck, but part of

51
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.680
a calculated plan to clear land for a high tech

52
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.639
infrastructure overhaul ahead of the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Here's

53
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.360
the pitch. Los Angeles is on the verge of transforming

54
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.160
into a smart city, a gleaming utopia where AI controls

55
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:22.399
everything from traffic lights to public safety think sensors in

56
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:30.000
every building, autonomous public transport and environmental monitoring systems. Sounds futuristic,

57
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.839
but here's the kicker. There's only so much land in

58
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:37.360
a city already bursting at the seams to make room

59
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:41.079
for this grand vision. Some theorists argue, you need to

60
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.680
clear the slate, and what better way to do that

61
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.040
than with fire. It gets stranger. Theories allege that the

62
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.759
fires were strategically lit, not by your typical match stick

63
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.920
and gasoline set up, but by direct energy weapons or dw's.

64
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.680
These are essentially high powered lasers capable of igniting targets

65
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:07.519
with pinpoint accuracy. Skeptics would laugh this off as sci

66
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.439
fi nonsense, but hold on, dues are real. The military

67
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.800
has been developing and testing them for years. Sure, they're

68
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:20.040
usually aimed at drones and missiles, not suburban homes, but

69
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.879
the technology exists. And then there's the role of AI.

70
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.120
Some believe that advanced algorithms could have been used to

71
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:34.040
monitor weather conditions, identify vulnerable areas, and in theory, direct

72
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.360
these weapons or other ignition methods with chilling precision. These

73
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:43.560
are systems designed for efficiency, no human error, no hesitation,

74
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.600
just cold calculated execution. Now let me pause here and

75
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.879
say this there's no concrete proof that any of this

76
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:57.600
actually happened. But where there's smoke pun fully intended, there's

77
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.199
often fire. And when you look at the aftermath of

78
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.680
these fires, things don't add up. Why did some homes

79
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.079
burn to the ground while others, sometimes right next door,

80
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:13.920
stayed completely intact. Why do satellite images show what appear

81
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:18.959
to be straight, almost unnatural lines of fire in some areas?

82
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.759
These questions are what light the spark? Again pun intended?

83
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.800
For deeper investigation, then we have the suspicious timing. The

84
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.639
push for smart cities isn't new, but tying it to

85
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:36.199
the Olympics creates a convenient deadline. Global events like this

86
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.680
often serve as the catalyst for massive urban overhauls, and

87
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.160
Los Angeles is no exception. Back in nineteen eighty four,

88
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.279
the city transformed for the Summer Games, though it didn't

89
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.079
take out entire neighborhoods to do it. Could Smart La

90
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.519
twenty twenty eight be the modern version, but with a

91
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:59.600
more sinister edge. So that's the setup, an official narrative

92
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.680
that it's planes the fires in natural terms, and a

93
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:07.720
counter narrative suggesting something far more deliberate and advanced. But

94
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:12.079
if this theory holds any water, it needs evidence, tangible,

95
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:17.120
observable patterns that suggest intentional targeting, and that's exactly what

96
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.800
we'll dig into next. Why are smart meters suddenly a

97
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.240
hot topic in these claims, and what's with the peculiar

98
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:42.680
way these fires spread. Let's talk about the elephant, or rather,

99
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.199
the smart meter in the room. One of the most

100
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.600
eyebrow raising aspects of these wildfire theories is the claim

101
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.199
that homes equipped with smart meters were disproportionately affected by

102
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.160
the fires. It's like the fires had a grudge against technology,

103
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:04.839
or maybe, just maybe technology was somehow involved in the destruction.

104
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.160
Smart meters, for those unfamiliar, are the high tech cousins

105
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:14.319
of traditional utility meters. They're designed to monitor energy usage

106
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.959
in real time, sending data back to the power company

107
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.240
for sufficiency and billing purposes. Sounds harmless enough, right, But

108
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:27.959
here's where things get murky. Critics of smart meters have

109
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:34.159
long raised concerns about their potential vulnerabilities, from cybersecurity risks

110
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:39.000
to claims of electromagnetic sensitivity. These devices have been the

111
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:44.080
center of controversy for years now. Wildfire theories are throwing

112
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:49.639
another log on the fire pun absolutely intended. The claim

113
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:54.840
is that smart meters, with their constant connectivity and remote capabilities,

114
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.399
could have been used as ignition points. Imagine this and

115
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:04.600
AI system identifies a target area for land clearing, communicates

116
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:09.399
with these devices and triggers electrical surges or malfunctions that

117
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:15.159
result in fires. Far fetched, maybe, but not impossible. Smart

118
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.720
meters are, after all, tied directly into a home's electrical system.

119
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.000
A targeted power surge could theoretically overload circuits and spark

120
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.120
a fire. Adding fuel to this theory or reports from survivors,

121
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:32.759
some claim they noticed strange electrical activity in their homes

122
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:38.080
before the fire started, flickering lights, appliances acting up, or

123
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:42.000
even a loud pop from their meters moments before flames

124
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.200
engulf the area. Others point to the pattern of destruction itself,

125
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:51.480
rows of homes obliterated, while others, sometimes just feed away,

126
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:56.200
were left untouched. What's more, vehicles parked in driveways were

127
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.559
often melted down to their aluminum frames, yet nearby trees

128
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.879
and shrubs remained strangely intact. These anomalies have led some

129
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:10.240
to believe that the fires were unnaturally precise, as if

130
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:14.360
they were programmed to target specific structures. Then there's the

131
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:18.639
curious case of power line involvement, or the lack thereof.

132
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:24.240
In many wildfire investigations, downed or malfunctioning power lines are

133
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.080
often the culprits, But in some of these affected neighborhoods,

134
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.240
the evidence doesn't align with that explanation. For example, utility

135
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.960
polls stood unscathed in areas where entire blocks of homes

136
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:42.000
had been reduced to rubble. How does that happen? Critics

137
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:46.200
argue that these inconsistencies point to a more deliberate mechanism,

138
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:51.600
something beyond the realm of natural disasters or traditional accidents.

139
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.639
Let's not forget the role of satellite imagery and fanning

140
00:10:55.679 --> 00:11:00.960
these flames of suspicion. High resolution images taken during and

141
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:06.519
after the fire show straight, unnatural lines of destruction. Fires

142
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:12.639
don't typically spread in perfect lines. They're chaotic, influenced by wind, topography,

143
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.320
and available fuel. But in some of these cases, the

144
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.840
burn patterns look almost surgical, as if something guided the

145
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.440
flames with precision. It's enough to make even the most

146
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:29.320
skeptical observer pause. And yet, while these patterns are striking,

147
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:33.879
they're also easy to dismiss without hard evidence. Critics of

148
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.399
the theory argue that smart meters are simply a convenient

149
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:42.399
scapegoat for the unexplainable. Fires can behave unpredictably in what

150
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:47.080
looks like targeted destruction, could be the result of chance

151
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:52.639
or freak conditions. Still, when you start stacking these peculiarities

152
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.480
smart meters, anomaloist destruction patterns, and unexplained satellite imagery, it's

153
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:02.360
hard not to wonder if there's or to the story. Now,

154
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.360
let's circle back to why this matters. If smart meters

155
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:12.679
or similar technologies were involved, either intentionally or unintentionally, it

156
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:17.720
raises serious ethical questions. Who has access to these systems

157
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.919
and how secure are they from tampering? Could the same

158
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:25.159
technology that promises to make our lives more convenient also

159
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.000
be weaponized against us? And perhaps the biggest question of all,

160
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.799
if this is true, who benefits from such a plan?

161
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.919
Spoiler alert, it's probably not the average homeowner. In the

162
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.519
next segment will zoom out and look at the bigger picture.

163
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.440
What are the broader implications of using advanced technologies like

164
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.279
AI and direct energy weapons in urban planning? Are we

165
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.360
opening Pandora's box in our pursuit of progress. Stick with

166
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.879
me as we dig deeper into the ethical and societal

167
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:17.559
consequences of these claims. Let's zoom out and take a

168
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:21.559
look at the bigger picture, because, as wild as it

169
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.799
may sound, this isn't just about wildfires, smart meters, or

170
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:30.440
even the twenty twenty eight Olympics. It's about something much larger,

171
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.360
the ethical and societal implications of our growing dependence on

172
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.720
advanced technology, especially when it's placed in the wrong hands,

173
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:44.240
or even the right hands with the wrong motives. First,

174
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.960
let's talk about the role of technology in urban planning.

175
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.320
The idea of a smart city is seductive. Imagine a

176
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.200
Los Angeles where traffic jams are eliminated, energy consumption is optimized,

177
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.399
and emergency services respond faster than ever. Sounds amazing, right,

178
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.440
But here's the catch. Smart cities rely on a massive

179
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:13.759
web of interconnected systems, sensors, AI, algorithms, and digital infrastructure

180
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:19.080
that monitor, analyze, and in some cases control nearly every

181
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:24.159
aspect of daily life. Now, when everything is working as

182
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:27.480
it should, this kind of system can be a marvel

183
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:32.279
of modern engineering. But what happens when these systems are

184
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:36.600
misused or weaponized? The claims about the wildfires and smart

185
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:41.200
LA twenty twenty eight point to one unsettling possibility that

186
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.519
technology designed for good could be turned into a tool

187
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.720
for destruction. Direct energy weapons, for example, weren't built to

188
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:53.360
start neighborhood fires. They were developed for military defense. But

189
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:57.240
as history has shown us, any technology can be repurposed,

190
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:01.440
often in ways its creators never in tended, and it's

191
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.200
not just deused. We need to worry about. AI, for instance,

192
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:10.879
is increasingly being integrated into systems that manage critical infrastructure,

193
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.679
power grids, water supplies, even transportation networks. What if that

194
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.679
AI is manipulated or programmed to serve a hidden agenda.

195
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:25.000
A system that can optimize traffic flow could just as

196
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.720
easily be used to block evacuation routes during a crisis.

197
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.720
A network of smart meters that monitors energy usage could

198
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:37.120
in theory, be used to selectively shut down or overload homes.

199
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.480
This brings us to the ethical dilemmas at what point

200
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.960
does the pursuit of progress become a threat to individual

201
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.279
rights and freedoms. The idea of clearing land for a

202
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.799
greater good like the Olympics or a smart city might

203
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:55.559
sound reasonable in a boardroom, but on the ground it

204
00:15:55.679 --> 00:16:00.559
means uprooting lives, destroying homes, and in some cases, putting

205
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.120
people in harm's way. And if these fires were indeed

206
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.399
part of some grand plan, who gets to decide what

207
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:12.919
sacrifices are acceptable? Spoiler it's probably not the people who

208
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.360
lost everything in the flames. There's also the issue of transparency,

209
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.000
or the lack thereof large scale urban projects like smart

210
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.679
LA twenty twenty eight, often involve layers of bureaucracy, private partnerships,

211
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.080
and decision making that happens behind closed doors. This lack

212
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.840
of accountability creates fertile ground for conspiracy theories to flourish.

213
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.519
After all, when people aren't given clear answers, they start

214
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:46.039
filling in the blanks themselves, and sometimes those blanks lead

215
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.519
to some very uncomfortable truths. But here's the part that

216
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:54.279
should really make a stop and think. This isn't just

217
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:57.799
a Los Angeles problem. As cities around the world rush

218
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:03.039
to adopt smart technologies, the same vulnerabilities and ethical questions

219
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.920
are cropping up everywhere. Are we building a future that's

220
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.720
truly sustainable and equitable or are we just handing over

221
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:16.200
more control to systems we barely understand? And let's not

222
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:20.680
forget the spiritual dimension to all this. Call me old fashioned,

223
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:24.799
but there's something deeply unsettling about the idea of technology

224
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:28.799
being used to manipulate nature or human lives in such

225
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:33.240
a calculated way. It's almost like playing god, and history

226
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.640
hasn't been kind to those who try. Whether you believe

227
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:42.039
in divine justice, karma, or just the law of unintended consequences,

228
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:46.079
one thing is clear. When we start using technology to

229
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:49.759
shape the world to our will, we'd better be prepared

230
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:53.559
for the fallout. So where does this leave us? Are

231
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.359
the claims about the California wildfires and smart LA twenty

232
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:01.160
twenty eight true? Honestly I don't know. But even if

233
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:06.200
they're not, the questions they raise are worth considering, because

234
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:10.599
whether it's wildfires, smart cities, or the next big technological leap,

235
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.920
the decisions we make today will shape the world we

236
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.640
live in tomorrow, and if we're not careful, we might

237
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.480
wake up one day and realize that, in a rush

238
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:24.000
to build a brighter future, we've burned away something far

239
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:27.640
more valuable. Next up, I'll wrap things up with some

240
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:30.960
final thoughts and a call to action. Stick with me,

241
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.359
all right, folks, Let's bring this to a close. We've

242
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.640
covered a lot of ground today, from the official wildfire

243
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.119
and narratives to the wild claims about smart LA twenty

244
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.759
twenty eight, direct energy weapons and smart meters. Whether you're

245
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.400
walking away from this episode a skeptic, a believer, or

246
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:16.200
just playing curious, one thing is certain. These aren't just

247
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.920
fringe theories. They are questions about the world we're building,

248
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:24.319
the technology we're embracing, and the systems we trust or

249
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.119
don't trust to keep us safe. Now, let me be clear,

250
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:33.160
I'm not saying the California wildfires were absolutely part of

251
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.960
some nefarious plot, but the questions raised here about ethics, transparency,

252
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:43.599
and the potential misuse of technology are real. They're the

253
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.119
kind of questions we need to keep asking, not just

254
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.880
about wildfires, but about everything happening in our increasingly connected

255
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.480
and tech driven world, because when we stop asking questions,

256
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.599
we hand over the keys to someone else, and who

257
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:03.559
knows what they'll drive us. If this episode planted a

258
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:09.039
seed of curiosity in you do me a favor water it, research,

259
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:12.960
dig deeper, and don't be afraid to question the official

260
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:17.559
narrative or the unofficial one for that matter, Because the truth,

261
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.799
as they say, is out there. Sometimes it's buried under

262
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:27.119
layers of conspiracy and coincidence, but it's always worth digging for.

263
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.400
Before I let you go, I have one small ask.

next time.

275
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.880
I got bad thoughts that make my mind scared, hold

276
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:16.799
me hostage and they don't fight fair? Who don't pray

277
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.400
for me and wipe on my tests? Who're gonna save me?

278
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.359
If you're not right here? Move this darkness and make

279
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.119
my sight clear. Take me your way, because I don't

280
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.799
like here. Ghost of my past day filling the night

281
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:38.400
are wake me up. I'm trapped in my nightmass you

282
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:39.680
trapped in my.

283
00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:54.359
Nightmas, trowning, trowning, I'm off the deepen apparitions of all

284
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:56.000
my demons, all my thoughts.

285
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.039
I come, making trees it all alone. I'm gonna hear

286
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:04.240
me screaming manifestations of my face, regrets that stretched out

287
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:06.759
for light years. You can almost touch the light holies

288
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.079
right there, body free but tracting my Nightmas, I don't

289
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.839
let me ja life of fad.

290
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.799
All my life is faith, all my life is face,

291
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.799
and that I don't let miss Johnny.

292
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.920
My life is fading. My life is fading.

293
00:22:36.880 --> 00:23:13.640
We need trapped in my Nightmas, b
