No wonder why they had no water.

All the fire hydrants burned down.

The firemen can't hook up their hoses to a flame now can they.

Probably a homeless person set that fire hydrant on fire with a Bic lighter!

After further review think all the top Sci-fy writers are connected to the CIA.

At least the ones from the 50's thru the 70's.

One of my faves was active-duty CIA from around 1952 to 1955. (Alice Sheldon, writing as James Tiptree Jr.) If you're not familiar with her, try this short story out and tell me if you agree that it was her way of spilling the beans (or asking for forgiveness) on elite use of adrenochrome...the coding isn't subtle. You can read the text or listen to the audio version.

Excellent work, Sage! Gotta love these duck hunts, haha !

1. Back to accelerants reacting with water (magnesium)

2. Whatever this burning debris blown into and leaning on hydrant left side - you see the fire on lid is a burning piece, likely from it. And zooming way into the burning opening you see that it also received what looks like pieces from debris on impact.

So not to be a stickler...the video find is cool. I searched google maps for 'chinese kenpo' or just 'kenpo' or even 'martial arts' for altadena, and for palisades. I looked at street view for every returned result. I have nothing that seems to match the exterior of that building. Perhaps I missed it. Entirely possible.

I only bring this up because that image is so surreal, so jarring, that it really sells a story of how bad this climate change thing is, and these damn dolts, keep dolting shit up. The image is powerful, and it's starting to show up in places.

Useful for the story if a damn fire hydrant is burning. I don't know if I've missed the location or not, but it's a very useful image.

I’m only looking at this picture with my iPad, but the building behind the fire hydrant looks totally photoshopped to me. It looks like an airbrushed picture. Feel free to consider me a skeptic on this one, because I am.

Tom, did you watch the video?

Please answer this question honestly.

In this post, the one that you are commenting upon.

Is the video faked too?

If you did not watch the video, then you are revealing grave deficiencies in how you construct reality.

If you watched the video and you think that the video is faked, say thus.

Are you perhaps a motivated reasoner with a pre-determined conclusion now?

Is this how you did medicine took Doctor?

BTW, I always answer your questions honestly. I may be honestly wrong, but it is an honest answer.

Hey Sage, as long as you provide this forum where honest detectives can gather and work to figure out what is going on, you can give me a bad time whenever you want. Sometimes Mrs. Tunes can be much harsher than you so I'm used to it!

Actually, I was just about to delete my previous comment because after my initial look at this picture it just looked so fake to me (and I don’t think I’m a good detective at AI or photoshopped images) I just impulsively posted. Then when I looked at your post showing this martial arts studio I took a look at their website, verified location using Google maps, and figured the airbrushed look wasn’t so important after all, and the whole thing wasn’t made up. So I was left with a fire hydrant with some flame on it, for reasons as yet unknown. I doubt that a grave deficiency in how I construct reality, but you’re welcome to think so if you so desire. I’ve never pretended I don’t make mistakes.

I'm just saying that you are on a post with a VIDEO OF THE FIRE HYDRANT still debating a picture being AI and you may be right, it may be fake, but the video is the more salient piece of evidence perhaps.

Expand full comment

I watched the video. I previously just referred to it as a picture. Vid's can be photoshopped. We both know that. I don't have an explanation for that video depicting fire coming out of the fire hydrant. It's just another piece of data to file away, for me, anyway. I have a fire hydrant in front of my house that I plan to use if fire comes my way. I guess I'll have to be concerned about fire coming out of my fire hose when I start opening up the nozzle on my house!

Robert Brame is a wonderful botanist.......and a good documenter.

You did a nice recap of their video Sage, in your post on the 15th.

Yes, and as you wrote, "Thank you, Peggy.

And thank you, Robert.

Bless you both."

We knew the big willows well on the side of 395 near Lone Pine at 36:30......and several other places he photographed.

It does not make sense for cottonwoods and willows to burn first, or at all in a creek bed, except, I keep thinking - microwave. I've said, I've never owned one, and all I know is that microwave "cooking" works by exciting the water molecules. Would somebody PLEASE put any fresh tree branch with some leaves in their microwave and see what the leaves do? I'd love to know!

I was struck by the comment Robert made at minute 24:22, "these trees.....they're losing their chlorophyll if you will, the water's getting cooked out of them like in a microwave." (But not burning.)

Two of my sons were born in Inyo County, Lone Pine and Bishop, and we know almost every creek that trickles down a canyon in the Eastern Sierras. It was unbelievable to watch this giant, gorgeous valley shrivel up without its water, now that the groundwater and the creek water have both been stolen for 100 years to build The City of Angels.

Also incredible to see the life that remains, clinging to the barest groundwater coming from imperceptible sources.

The fire hydrant — looks to me stuff that fell on it was burning. Tarred roof or whatever similar stuff looks like its burning on the sidewalk there. I wonder if it was on a wood walkway or something that burned. The base or flange there or whatever makes it look like the hydrant was formerly attached to a floor higher than now. Searching around for “Chinese Kenpo” to see if I can find a before pic in google maps or somewhere…

It looked to me like it was vomiting fire.

So watching the video of it… There is definitely something on fire in the top hole.

And by the way don’t know what you did different with that video but I could actually watch it — the (I think ) embedded youtubes want me to log in to see, but clicking the link loses which video it was — this may be a browser artifact, but FYI

I've figured it out! Probably been said before, but I haven't read or heard this explanation yet.

LA and Lahaina and All 46 Fires Except 3 in 12 years that Robert Brame Has Documented -

There was a giant hand with a very big magnifying glass held over the desired ant, I mean people hill, while the giant mouth blew very hard.

North Carolina -

The giant hand held a pressure washer while the giant mouth blew very hard.

The giant ogre's actions greatly pleased lithium mine and olympic owners, and billionaire talk show hosts owning second or third homes on Maui.

If we unite to legislate a ban on all giant hand held magnifying glasses immediately, giants will probably just think up something else.......something with syringes maybe, or stomping on people's food sources, or spitting vile toxic spittle on rivers and fields......

Perhaps there was no water in some areas because the underground metal pipes were decomposing with whatever DEW they were using. When the pipes burst the water seeps up through the ground. I would imagine that gas lines suffered the same fate. Remember how they had to dig up the underground pipes in Lahina? Also everything that glows is not hot - think of incandescent v led lights for some of these glowing metal items it may not be all fire. I believe we are dealing with technologies that are not understood by most and we are trying to make sense of it by comparing it with things familiar to us.

West had a _*great*_ observation on the Soviet/Russian "Venona Files": she said 1) there were *millions* of files, which would have taken a TEAM and *YEARS to process*...which DID NOT HAPPEN ...and 2) neither the "new" Russian gov't, nor, perhaps more significantly>>>THE US GOV 'T, wanted the total contents of the "Venona Files" released.

Just saying, they are a thing and they would be where the fire is burning on the hydrant in the video. Also not saying it is or isn’t just calling out possibilities. Even if it is that doesn’t mean the fires weren’t deliberate or unnatural. Trying to be objective.

I want to know how live (sentient) this attack is.

Is it pre-rigged, broadcast applied using whatever spokes they have and then the bomb goes off and shit happens - or not, depending on what got triggered.

Or is it remotely viewed, overhead viewed, orchestrated live, aimed and targeted to specifics.

Because, too many incongruences. And some of the footage points to meebee direct line of sight to target needed.

Expand full comment

I think it was both pre-rigged And direct line of sight. Remember the green lasers over Hawaii long before? Mapping everything out.

Expand full comment

Yes? Are they ‘tending’ the fire? Like you might with a burn-pile in your backyard ? You always give it several passes. To, you know, get it to burn the way you want it to. Because, the outcome if you don’t, is quite different than if you do.

and so the vinyl or pvc covering on the snap clip (the cap from the open hydrant fitting) is burning due the intense flames and the plastic bits on the other cap are burning as well... BFD... and as for the building burning "from the inside out" that is normal when the outer walss of the building have nonflammable coatings such as rock or pebble stucco and the roof is a flat asphalt one which easily catches the massive amount of embers blowing around and catches fire...

most people live such stupid sheltered lives that cannot figure out anything on their own... and while it has not been this way forever painting parts of hydrants different colors other than the base yellow or red to indicate what "kind" of water they contain... in livermore they have those and a set of purple ones for reclaimed water (don't want to go drinking that), and in SF they have two different sets of hydrants tall skinny ones and shorter fat ones from two different sources

THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO DO THIS THAT IS WHY THEY GOT RID OF THE WATER IN THE HYDRANTS AND ANY WATER ANYWHERE ELSE. THEY SET THINGS UP AHEAD OF TIME, AFTER ALL IT IS THEIR PLAN AFTER ALL. THESE PEOPLE WILL DO 'ANYTHING THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH' AND THEY ARE. BE VERY AWARE ALL THE TIME.
