Was the Maui wildfire a pretext to reclaim Lahaina and turn it into a smart city?
08/30/2023 // Arsenio Toledo // 590 Views
 

The combination of government negligence and the immediate response of corporations to the wildfire on the Hawaiian island of Maui that pretty much obliterated the town of Lahaina strongly suggests that the fire is being used as a pretext to turn the place into a "smart city."
A smart city – a term sometimes interchangeably used with the "15-minute city" – is a modern, technologically advanced municipality wherein municipal services like traffic control, energy distribution, water services, waste collection and even elections are handled, at least to some extent, in an automated and "intelligent" manner. This can be done using sensors, connected smart devices, communications technologies and artificial intelligence. (Related: Lawfare with Tom Renz: Biden FAILS to empathize with Maui wildfire victims by comparing disaster to kitchen fire – Brighteon.TV.)

The theory stems from a post commenting on a video surveying the damage done to Lahaina. This post noted how, in January, a tech conference held on Maui – the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences – focused almost entirely on ways to turn the entire island "into an entire smart island." This transformation would entail changing the island's entire power grid into one relying on renewable energy and "pushing everybody into electric vehicles."

So, you have appointed yourself the decider of what is or isn't fruitcake news here? That's interesting.

I have no problem with anyone expressing opinions. Never have. Even those I vehemently disagree with.

Maybe if this was in the New York Times, you'd read the article and tell me what there hasn't been brought up elsewhere?
This isn't talking about space lasers or any such, all required to make it happen the way it did was for authorities to do nothing, including not releasing water to fight the fire and not utilizing warning systems.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
