While most contain more than one kernel of truth, some are physically impossible, while others, in light of the incoming administration, appear oddly like shadowy policy moves.[Below you will see Cary’s entire list of active LA fires conspiracy theories]Sometimes it's easiest to lay out preposterosity in the simple language and single-strand brain patterns of our new president, Donald J Trump. This was sent to me on WhatsApp earlier today by Joey, an English listener, who went for a pithy insight into appalling lampoon. This British “cousin” is somehow able to channel our vaunted president weeks before He will utter the same things:“I feel like I've been struggling to really channel him with the same accuracy or creative flair that I've used in past ones. This latest one was at least accurate in reflecting the depth of his understanding of genetics - what genes are and where you get them from. I'm so glad he's back in charge. America is sick right now and it really needs a President who understands science and medicine. You'll be well equipped to handle the next pandemic because you'll be able to eliminate the virus by injecting bleach, drinking a pint of hydroxychloroquine or blasting high strength UV into the airways that's intense enough to reach the surface of every alveoli pocket and then it will be, like, totally beautiful. You know, COVID could've been so good, so good - no problems, back to normal - but the Democrats created that totally ineffective and dangerous vaccine that actually, if you really think about it, actually killed maybe even more Americans - hardworking Middle Class Americans - _Christians_. But it's true - a lot of very smart and very brilliant people are saying that actually the vaccine - which people were forced to take against the Constitution - really, the vaccine killed more people even than the China Virus that it was supposed to cure. And a lot of people don't know this but virus - the Wuhan Flu - it was actually released from a military lab in a little place known as Wuhan Province - total dump. Don't go there. It's almost like a s**t hole country, quite frankly - but it was released on the direct orders of Ping Pong the Emperor with the intent to destroy America - and it would have totally failed if it weren't for the Democrats and Joe Biden. Right now America is, like, totally broke and we're really, really we're like a third world country. Other countries are totally killing us - they're killing us, they're _raping_ us - and they're laughing at us because they think we're weak. Well they won't be laughing on Jan 20th, folks, because we're going to make them pay back everything they owe with a little thing called a "tariffs". Maybe it's the most beautiful word in the dictionary and if you look it up, what it means is that other countries are going to pay us, really, a lot of money - maybe 60 or 70% - so they can import their worthless junk into America. Our enemies will pay and our allies are going to have to pay too. And that's going to make Americans, like, totally rich.”List of active LA fires conspiracy theories:First, we delve into conspiracy theory number one: the world of DEWs… or Directed Energy Weapons, the exotic imagination that implies lasers from the sky, akin to war gadgets meddling where they shouldn't. While some claim they have reared their fiery heads and left behind scorched landscapes with suspicious precision, common sense—unmoved by the flair of dramatics—points to nature's unpredictable hand, with winds and dry brush as more logical culprits. Proponents of this theory claim that the wildfires were caused by DEWs, which are advanced technologies that can create intense heat or energy beams. They point to unusual burn patterns, such as:* Uniformly burned areas, suggesting a precise and controlled energy source* Burned trees with no apparent ignition source* Melted metal and other materials, indicating extremely high temperaturesSome theorize that DEWs were used to start or exacerbate the fires, possibly as part of a larger experiment or to achieve a specific goal. In a few minutes, let’s open up the phone lines and HERE the conspiracy theories your hearing about or if you think some of these are actually true!Here's Conspiracy theory number two: LA’s published Smart City ProjectThis theory posits that LA's Smart City project, which aims to integrate technology and data analytics to improve city services, is connected to the wildfires. Some claim that the project's infrastructure, such as:* Smart meters and sensors, could be used to start or exacerbate the fires* Data analytics and AI could be used to predict and manipulate the spread of the fires* The project's focus on sustainability and environmental monitoring could be a cover for more sinister activitiesYet, there is no evidence to suggest that the Smart City project is capable of starting or controlling fires. The project's goals and technologies are publicly available, and experts confirm that the infrastructure is designed for benign purposes like energy efficiency and traffic management. Yet, tens of thousands of people now say it’s actually a covert e-pyro-maniac, igniting flames of chaos with each digital pulse and not meant to improve, but incinerate.Next, we encounter conspiracy theory number three…the specter of the UN’s Agenda 21—the whisper that rattles in certain circles suggesting a plot to clear our lands for modern utopias. Speculated are the fires as a meddlesome means to push humans towards dense communal habitats. The Agenda 21 theory suggests that the wildfires are part of a larger agenda to implement the United Nations' Agenda 21, which aims to promote sustainable development and reduce urban sprawl. Some believe that the fires are being used to:* Clear land for new development projects or high-density housing* Force people out of their homes and into more densely populated areas* Create a sense of urgency and crisis, allowing for the implementation of Agenda 21's principlesIn reality, Agenda 21 is a non-binding and voluntary agreement, and there is no evidence to suggest that it is being used to justify or orchestrate the wildfires. The agenda's principles focus on sustainable development, not forced relocation or land clearance. But, who’s used to say what “Forced” means?Consider conspiracy theory number four – climate engineering's …. Or chemtrail’s ghost, haunting yet another chamber of the mind. A serious of nefarious experiments by scientists play out, twisting clouds to wreak flaming havoc. With Climate Engineering, Some theorize that the wildfires are a result of climate engineering experiments gone wrong. They claim that scientists are manipulating the weather using techniques like geoengineering, which involves injecting substances into the atmosphere to alter weather patterns.* Some point to the presence of unusual cloud formations or atmospheric phenomena as evidence of climate engineering* Others claim that the wildfires are a result of accidental or intentional manipulation of the weatherYet, there is no credible evidence to support the claim that climate engineering is responsible for the wildfires. Geoengineering is a highly debated and controversial topic, and most experts agree that it is real…. but not currently being used to manipulate the weather on a large scale.Conspiracy theory number five: Arson by Government or Corporate AgentsThis theory posits that the wildfires were intentionally started by government or corporate agents to:* Clear land for development or resource extraction* Create a false flag event to justify increased surveillance or control* Distract from other news or events* Generate profits for companies involved in firefighting or reconstruction effortsThe causes of the wildfires are still under investigation, but experts attribute them to natural factors like drought, heat, and wind. That’s not to say that there aren’t 1 million developers, realtors, and corporate people who haven’t fantasized about this kind of opportunity. We only need to look back to hurricane Katrina – a disaster of epic proportions, a hurricane that ravaged the Gulf Coast, leaving destruction and devastation in its wake. Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest and costliest natural disasters in American history now surpassed an extraordinary numbers by the LA wildfires.But in the aftermath of Katrina, something else unfolded, a story of corruption, of cronyism, of no-bid contracts and corporate greed.Halliburton, the energy giant, the company once led by none other than Dick Cheney, the Vice President of the United States. Cheney, the man who had once been the CEO of Halliburton, the man who still had ties to the company, even as he served in the Bush administration. That was considered shocking and today the president of the United States owns giant hotel chains, sell sneakers, swag and merch and his government leader to shrink the size of government has contracts woven throughout the same federal government including NASA, the world’s global communication satellite systems, and pretty much everything with a chip and a signal.But back then, it was an obvious and appalling conflict of interest when Halliburton's subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, was awarded a no-bid contract for debris removal and cleanup services in the aftermath of Katrina. A contract worth over half a billion dollars.But this was no ordinary contract. It was a deal that sparked outrage, that sparked controversy, that sparked investigations. Investigations that revealed the contract was awarded without proper competition, without proper transparency.The Government Accountability Office, the Congressional Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, they all looked into this deal, and they all came to the same conclusion: this was a contract that reeked of favoritism, of corruption.And the cost overruns, the performance issues, they only added to the scandal. The Pentagon's Inspector General found that Halliburton had overbilled the government by millions, that they had failed to meet their contractual obligations.This was a deal that smelled of rot, of corruption, of corporate greed. And it's a deal that should never be forgotten, a deal that should serve as a reminder of the dangers of no-bid contracts, of cronyism, of corporate influence in government. And now the government has become Mussolini’s wet dream and is truly the perfect intertwining of corporation and government as a single swamp creature with enormous appetites.Let’s now jump to conspiracy theory number six: Smart Meter FiresSome claim that smart meters, which are part of LA's Smart City project, can cause fires due to electrical malfunctions or overheating. They point to instances of smart meters catching fire or exploding as evidence.However, experts confirm that smart meters are designed with multiple safety features to prevent overheating and electrical malfunctions. While it is possible for smart meters to malfunction, there’s no evidence to suggest that they are a significant contributor to the wildfires.5G, riding on waves of anxiety, faces finger-pointing as well. Accused of radiating wildfires to life, the tale lacks bite as science sits unshakeably on its throne, undeterred by fear. 5G and EMFSome theorize that the rollout of 5G networks and the increased electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation are contributing to the wildfires. They claim that EMF can:* Ignite fires or exacerbate existing ones* Disrupt natural processes and create an environment conducive to wildfiresStill, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that EMF radiation from 5G networks is contributing to the wildfires. We’re told that the radiation levels from 5G networks are well within safe limits and do not pose a fire hazard – maybe a surveillance hazard and an eyesore hazard, but who knows.Conspiracy theory number eight: Weather WarfareThis theory suggests that the wildfires are a result of weather warfare, where advanced technologies are used to manipulate the weather and create extreme events like wildfires. Some point to:* Unusual weather patterns or storms as evidence of weather manipulation* The presence of unusual cloud formations or atmospheric phenomenaSomehow missing is the conspiracy to sell the public on fossil fuels as an innocent and benign, permanently necessary way of life. I remember interviewing Al Roker a few years ago and asked him why he never, never ever ever ever ever mentioned climate change. He said, "well, I work for General Electric".Conspiracy theory number nine: Insurance and Financial GainSome conspiracy theorists believe that the wildfires were started or exacerbated to generate profits for insurance companies or to create a financial windfall for those involved in reconstruction efforts, as was truly an undeniably the case for Dick Cheney’s companies during Katrina. At this point, investigations have not found any evidence of arson or intentional firestarting for financial gain. The causes of the wildfires are still under investigation, but experts attribute them to natural factors like drought, heat, and wind.And finally, before we go to the phones, conspiracy theory number 10 😊 Depopulation AgendaA more extreme theory posits that the wildfires are part of a larger depopulation agenda, aimed at reducing the global population or forcing people out of certain areas. Some claim that the fires are being used to:* Clear land for new development projects or to create a sense of urgency and crisis* Force people out of their homes and into more densely populated areas* Create a sense of fear and panic, allowing for the implementation of depopulation policiesThis seems almost the worst too contemplate - the extraordinarily bleak possibility of a Depopulation Agenda—fires as dreadful scythes in a cosmic populace harvest. The closest we may see to evidence of that will be the willfull destruction of Obama care, privatization of remaining municipal utilities, oil Derek on every US beach, condos in protected parks, removal of EPA, OSHA, consumer protection agencies, and ironically the legacy of one Richard Millhouse Nixon.RethinkingHeroes.com LinkedIn: TheCaryHarrisonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/thecaryharrison/Instagram: @TheCaryHarrisonhttps://www.instagram.com/CaryHarrison_/TikTok: @theCaryHarrisonhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thecaryharrisonFacebook: TheCaryHarrisonhttps://www.facebook.com/thecaryharrisonYoutube: @CaryHarrisonhttps://www.youtube.com/@caryharrisonTwitter/X: @CaryHarrison_https://x.com/CaryHarrison_Cary FB Fan Page: https://www.facebook.com/goharrison This is a public episode.
