Michelle Melendez, Hawaii-based trainer, activist, and author of The Great Maui Land Grab, shares stunning accounts of the trauma of the Maui fire in Lahaina last year and explains that the area is to this day blocked off, policed, and covered with gravel, and that inhabitants are not permitted to reclaim their own land.
I will not subscribe to Naomi wolf. Her treatment of this intelligent young woman was insulting, condenscending, and downright bitchy. Your are a total bitch, and stupid Naomi. Get the hell off the internet.
I’ve been an avid follower of Naomi for several years now. Who stole the real Naomi & who is this person I’ve never seen or heard before that is interviewing this author. Michelle had something important to share with a LARGE audience . We all actually want to know her story & her testimony to what really happened in Maui.
I was really interested in this topic, but also stopped listening early on. I had an experience from the 2018 Woolsey fire in California that still bothers me. My brother-in-laws house survived. His neighbors was incinerated. Just a stone chimney and white ash left. The neighbor had a corvette with a tarp covering it parked about thirty feet from my brother-in-laws attached garage. They shared a driveway. The corvette was melted into a puddle. They lived in a community called Malibu Lake. There are live oak trees and grass fields in the area. How does a fire in an environment like that get hot enough to melt a car into a puddle but have no effect on a house 30 feet away? How does it get hot enough to melt a car at all? Just checking things like melting point of steel, temperature of blast furnaces, temperatures of house fires, etc., it makes no sense.
I never comment, but I decided that I had to this time. I’m pleased to see so many comments. I don’t need to say much except to support the sentiment. Shame on you Naomi Wolf. Shame. Kudos to Michele Melendez for handling it so well.
First of all, I just want to say that I find Naomi Wolf very rude. You should not cut off somebody you’re in interviewing because you don’t like the way she’s saying something. If you’re going to interview somebody then interview them and let them talk. Secondly, I don’t want to watch an interview with you trying to sell your products every five seconds in the middle of the video. It’s very annoying.
This discussion like many of its stripe is gaining some movement and legs to a degree.
but I caution people to realize that the interview itself was easily moved into touchy arenas.
I have some familiarity with the points she talks about, and one of the main points she hit upon was the "fire inside" the trees. This is not an unusual occurrence and have witnessed this myself with cottonwoods during a fire that was arson just a scant 4 years ago near my home.
Despite the statements of HARN and other aspects, as humans we think we have a full understanding of our world and yet keep getting surprised over the actions of nature. I previously mentioned the Calf Canyon Hermits peak fire of two years ago and the damage it caused. When looking at the burn scar it doesn't seem to make sense that a fire that hot could create islands of unaffected areas where dead trees mingle with live ones. Nor the fact that the fire predominantly traveled northward when eastward winds were present. so dynamics of nature we may not fully understand were defiantly at work.
What IS suspicious is the "blue" aspect of the discussion. I too saw the videos (now mostly scrubbed) of the un affected blue lawn chairs and umbrellas at restaurants where everything around them was ash.
My father was in WWII. He fought in Germany and was at the Battle of the Bulge, Metz and Saurlautten. Several of the stories he told me were quite gruesome, and talked about how half cooked German solders were found in Panzer Tanks. Literally half their body was cooked, the other half just fine. It happens. What is unusual was the political calls, the actions by a highly suspicious police Chief who BTW was in Las Vegas in 2017, and why the blockade of land. This however is not unique to Hawaii. I again return to New Mexico and how after the 2000 Cerro Grande Fire and later the Loc Conchas Fire and Thompson Ridge Fires caused the Forest Service to block off entire areas from land owners.
Anyone with a historical memory (and to Naomi I am about to resurrect some of your own past) the Clinton Administration was in line with an agenda to make the US Forests part of a "Roadless Imitative" that included rumors of private land holdings being taken by the Federal Government. It was at this time that the "Hot" forest fires had started. During this time the Wolf Re-introduction program started and in New Mexico harassment by the Federal Government toward hunters in the region was active, to whit I personally had experience. During this period of time the Public Comment process with the Forest Service went from a public meeting process to a "round table discussion" type prose. This had the effect of controlling the narrative. it was also the start of the Sue to change Policy process, where environmental groups would sue the Federal Government in the "Sue and Settle" process of administrative rule change took place.
To say that such processes were either abandoned or possible evolved is an open question. Applying thought into the discussion tells me volumes of information. it is well known that Hawaii was the beaten down "red-headed step child" of the US and the very means by which Hawaii became a Territory and eventually a state is a deep and dark exercise in corporate excesses. To say this isn't happening in a new form now would be foolish.
The Direct Energy Weapons Acquisition Act of 2016 (S. 2778) is a bill introduced in the 114th United States Congress, aiming to amend Title 10 of the United States Code to facilitate rapid acquisition of directed energy weapons systems by the Department of Defense.
Naomi, it's not mysterious at all. So much evidence congeals to paint the picture of a land grab, economic destruction, trauma, and depopulation. You see the same pattern Michelle describes with the Canada fires, the Northern California fires (Paradise, Santa Rosa, etc), the San Bernardino county fires, the New Mexico Ruidoso fires, the Texas panhandle fires, and yes -- Hurricane Helene we just endured. The US Air Force has been able to manipulate the ionosphere with frequencies since the late 1940's. Now all major nations can do the same. The Chinese bragged about it during the Olympics. See "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025". The military has used weather to fight its wars, as in Viet Nam. Look into Hurricanes Harvey and Katrina. Both of these have very strong evidence of weather manipulation.

The Big Lie the gov promotes, and sadly many gullible people still believe, is - 'this is climate change', rather than 'we do these acts to steal your resources and devastate or kill you'. Time to rip off the mask.

Wow - One of the rudest most condescending interviews I've ever heard.

Michelle had something important to share with a LARGE audience . We all actually want to know her story & her testimony to what really happened in Maui.
The interviewer was awful and insulting. Why couldn’t she let the young woman tell her story. It didn’t seem like there was any rapport.

WTH why are you being so rude to this woman? Just lost all respect for you Naomi.
Can we believe some kind of mafia in « authority » destroyed Lahaina?
Well - we’ve just seen a new kind of attack using exploding pagers, detonated at distance, all at the same time.
We’ve seen dangerous injections administered & MANDATED across the world for a hyped-up illness.
So if evil-doers decided to destroy Lahaina for a reason not yet entirely clear to us all - absolutely they would.
A global MAFIA has hijacked the world & we have to take it back.
That was ridiculous, Naomi. I mean, straight up cruel. Entitled and grandiose behavior.

Are you sure the DoD needs more?
Think about it, sir

Check ou this interview by Hawaii Real Estate. He lets her talk.
Obviously the bodies were retreived from the water via multiple trips. It's as if Naomi is out to completely debunk the reality of what happened.
Why don't you let her tell her story in her own way? These constant interruptions right off the bat, are rude beyond rude.
