Conspiracy Theory Comes True After California Wildfires | Daily Pulse
The news you weren’t supposed to see.
The Vigilant Fox
Jul 16, 2025
*** begin quote ***
STORY #2 – California just proved the “conspiracy theorists” right. Lawmakers passed a bill to cease fire-ravaged Palisades land and turn it into taxpayer-funded low-income housing.
This isn’t theory anymore—it’s reality, and it follows a disturbing national trend. For years, people claimed that disasters like the Maui fires were being used to clear land for Smart Cities. Now it’s happening in plain sight.
Across America, neighborhoods destroyed by fires and floods are being “reimagined” as dense, government-controlled housing zones. California’s SB 549 lets cities buy burned lots for mere pennies, rebuild using your tax dollars, and cram in numerous low-income units. Officials call it “resilient,” but it’s really about controlling where and how you live.
And it’s not just Democrats. The Global Covenant of Mayors unites cities from both parties under a Smart City agenda built on surveillance, permanent renting, and the end of single-family homes.
Is this really about safety and sustainability—or is it about control? Watch Maria Zeee’s shocking report to see just how deep this agenda goes.
*** end quote ***
Probably AI written. Note the use of “cease” in place of “seize”.
If true, it’s despicable.

World’s largest game of red light, green light played in California
By Ben Hooper
*** begin quote ***
June 13 (UPI) — A fitness education group in California broke a Guinness World Record by gathering 1,423 people to play the playground game red light, green light.
CF Fitness Inc., an education-oriented group aimed at promoting physical fitness at schools, gathered students from the Anaheim Elementary School District and their families to play the record-breaking game at Yorbe Park in Anaheim.
*** end quote ***
As you know as a little L libertarian, I really don’t like Gooferment involvement in anything.
BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), here’s a cheap and easy way to get children, and maybe some adults, moving.
I remember the Presidential Fitness Challenge; do you?
Every Gooferment politician, from mayor to governor, can spark up their own “challenge”. Make it fun and somewhat competitive. Get some ribbons and medal to give out at the end of school year.
Like being an Eagle Scout, that I am not one or had the opportunity to be one, I believe that children can be encouraged to accomplish great things.
Instead of a nation of “thumbs” ((i.e., video game addicts mindlessly spending hours in front of a screen), we could create physical and mental challenges that would prepare then for a healthy and happy life.

‘Sleeping giant’ off coast of California is due to wake any moment and could sink parts of US in just MINUTES | Daily Mail Online

While “global warming” is the latest version of the “plandemic”, it is not hard to imagine the West Coast having another earthquake. If humans were a serious people, then there would be some “incentives” to move away from the danger zone (i.e., not permitting new development or expansion in that area; tax and insurance rates to encourage movement; “buy” endangered property owners out to make parks). But we’re not a “serious species” probably doing nothing, and then be “shocked” when a predicted disaster happens. Argh!

Secession: Why Redrawing US State Borders Makes Politicians So Mad – LewRockwell
By Ryan McMaken
<< EDITOR ADDED DATE 2025-02-27>>
*** begin quote ***
The opponents of state-level secession should give it a rest. Few people outside Illinois with families and jobs—and who want to mind their own business—care if the border between Illinois and Indiana is changed. The same is true of the line between Idaho and Oregon. These lines weren’t drawn by the Almighty. Politicians care deeply about such things, however, because they care deeply about power, and about preserving the status quo that has served the ruling class so well.
*** end quote ***
At the risk of reigniting the War for Southern Independence aka the (un) Civil War, what’s wrong with allowing voters to change boundaries or even leave these United States?
From a just Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee POV, why shouldn’t Staten Island escape liberal New York and join the less liberal Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee?
Similarly, Texas, Hawaii, California, Alaska, and New Hampshire should all be allowed to decide their fates. (Remember that only North Dakota currently has the ability to clear checks thru the (not) Federal Reserve System via their current Bank of North Dakota.) All throughout the world, people should be allowed the right of self-determination. Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Straight Line Borders drawn my the English and French to divide ethic groups into “manageable” populations didn’t happen. Ethinic minorities would be too busy fighting each other to focus on the foreign invaders.
Let’s all agree that the right of self-determination trumps the desires of the status quo elite.

Major warning for hikers as apex predator thought to be extinct for a century is spotted in California park

n the past 100 years, there have been fewer than 30 documented attacks by wild wolves on humans in not only the US, but North America as a whole – with only two dying after contracting rabies from bites suffered in Alaska in the 1940s, according to reports.
Still, carrying a canister of bear spray is advised, officials said – as the animal can become aggressive towards parties it views as competition to its food source.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, meanwhile, has yet to release more information on the sighting.
*** end quote ***
While I’m happy that the wolves are back and I wonder what changes they will bring with them. Yellowstone experienced a lot less moose damage by the rivers and streams when the wolves came back there.
But if, by some twist of fate, I went hiking in the woods, then bear spray be damned. Too many two legged and four legged hazards for my taste. I’d want at least 45 caliber sidearm for my personal protection. If the varmints don’t like loud noises, I’d fire a warning shot. If possible. Otherwise, center of mass, baby. And keep firing until the threat is no more. Reload if need be.
No excuse for being unprepared.

After Police Didn’t Take it Seriously He Exposed an International Bike Theft Ring on His Own
By Andy Corbley – Aug 30, 202
*** begin quote ***
As one might imagine, the police in counties like Sonoma, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz didn’t listen to him. “We’re not Interpol” they would say.
*** and ***
Hance had been clued into the Colorado bike smuggling ring with a Modus Operandi extremely similar to that of the one he believed was behind the thefts all over California, but was even more bold—bike thieves at one point smashed through the front of a bike shop with a van, loaded up the van with a dozen bikes, and drove off.
As to the California smugglers, Hance believes the man at the end of the trail is operating out of Jalisco, and Hance’s sleuthing turned up perhaps the chief fence on this side of the border. Victoriano Romero—who was then subsequently raided by police and found to be in possession of bikes similar to ones reported stolen on Bike Index, along with $200,000 cash in a strongbox in his San Jose auto shop.
The arrest of Romero hasn’t disrupted the network, and Hance still sees that the Jalisco seller routinely offers high-end bikes for sale on his social media pages: accessible only because Hance uses a VPN to funnel his connection through Mexico.
*** end quote ***
Maybe the politicians and bureaucrats of Sonoma, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz should put Brian Hance in as their Police Commissioner?
I can’t imagine a bigger slap in the face than a private individual cracking international crime rings.

California lawmakers approve legislation to ban deepfakes, protect workers and regulate AI
By TRÂN NGUYỄN
Updated 3:06 AM EDT, September 1, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Lawmakers approved legislation to ban deepfakes related to elections and require large social media platforms to remove the deceptive material 120 days before Election Day and 60 days thereafter. Campaigns also would be required to publicly disclose if they’re running ads with materials altered by AI.
A pair of proposals would make it illegal to use AI tools to create images and videos of child sexual abuse. Current law does not allow district attorneys to go after people who possess or distribute AI-generated child sexual abuse images if they cannot prove the materials are depicting a real person.
Tech companies and social media platforms would be required to provide AI detection tools to users under another proposal.
*** end quote ***
Yeah, passing “laws” makes everything better. How is it working for drugs?
I think the word “LAW” should be restricted to real laws. Like the Law of Gravity, Law of Unintended Consequences, or Law of Gravity.
What Gooferments passes are diktats. Bureaucrats make “regulations”.

Teens kicked out of elite Catholic school for ‘blackface’ awarded $1M by jury after proving it was just acne mask
Story by Isabel Keane
*** begin quote ***
Two teens kicked out of their elite California Catholic school while falsely accused of wearing blackface have been jointly awarded more than $1 million after proving it was just a green acne face mask.
The then-students at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View were just 14 when they took a photo during a sleepover in 2017 of them wearing the treatment in solidarity with a friend suffering from severe acne, their lawsuit said.
The treatment, bought by one of the boy’s moms, was light green when applied and turned dark green once dry.
*** end quote ***
Over the years, I’ve come to believe that “organized religion” is yet another useless drone in humanity’s “beehive”.
I guess these “Catholics” forgot all the admonitions about “suffer the little children to come unto me”, the Good Samaritan, and “Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.”.
Particualrly — “Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
It seems like the “Liberals” in the Catholic Church were so anxious to be “good guys” that they left their consciences at the convenience of the mob.
So sad. And, congrats to that jury to show them the errors of their ways in a form they might understand,
Shame on them.

LA homeowner fatally shoots suspect during attempted burglary as horrified child, grandma watch
By Social Links for Isabel Keane
Published Dec. 4, 2023, 8:33 a.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
A Los Angeles homeowner shot and killed a suspected burglar over the weekend after a group of men wearing dark hoodies and masks broke into his home — where a child and grandmother were left rattled by the brazen attempted burglary.
Police responded to the Granada Hills home around 5 a.m. Saturday morning after receiving radio calls of shots fired inside the residence.
The homeowner told police he was inside his home when three or four unknown men wearing “dark clothing, hoodies and masks” broke in, the Los Angeles Police Department wrote on X.
“A suspect pointed a weapon at the victim and while the suspects were inside the residence, the victim produced a firearm and a shooting occurred,” the department wrote.
*** and ***
The homeowner, who was photographed outside the residence seemingly in handcuffs, was taken to the Devonshire Community Police Station to be interviewed, though they were later released.

Yes, after some five years of increasingly dangerous streets littered with dirty needles, feces, trash, and filthy tents, not to mention aggressive vagrants, drug dealers, the deranged and addicted, the city took action.

Mega-Jolt: The Costs and Logistics of Plugging In EVs Are About to Become Supercharged
By John Murawski, RealClearInvestigations
October 24, 2023
*** begin quote ***
To curb greenhouse gas emissions, California, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, and other states have outlawed the sale of new gasoline cars starting in 2035, and similar EV mandates have been adopted by nearly 60 countries. The Biden administration is spending $7.5 billion on 500,000 EV charging ports as part of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to boost EV sales targets to 50% of all new vehicle purchases by 2030.
*** end quote ***
I expect that used cars are going to become the new “cars” in 2035.
We’ll probably begin to look like Cuba where cars ended in the 1950’s when the USA embargoed Castro.
Pity to poor and the renters, who won’t have access to a home charger. And, pity the poor homeowner who needs to retrofit their electrical service. That’s assuming that the local utility can provide such service.
BTW where is all this power generation capacity going to magically appear from.
In case you forgot, the extra taxes on gas pay for the roads.
DNF that EVs are hard on tires.
Argh!

California’s Water Supply Falls Victim to CRT
By Don A. Wright
*** begin quote ***
When did the board’s mandate change from a bureaucracy administering water rights to an arbitrator and avenger of perceived injustices? At exactly the same moment the people of California stopped holding their government accountable because they thought someone else would do it for them. It gets serious when your family’s food supply can be negatively impacted.
*** end quote ***
William Rusher, the editor of the conservative National Review, quoted economist Milton Friedman as saying that “if the government were to take over the Sahara Desert, there would be a shortage of sand in five years.”
Here we have a Gooferment taking over water and now there is a shortage?
Like anything else, the invisible hand of the fee market would do much better job of allocating a scarce resource. If folks paid for water and the price went up, the usual behavior would be conservation and alternatives.
Anyone in the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah considering desalinization? I hear is works well in Israel.

They’re the deep-diving YouTubers who claim to have found missing California teen Kiely Rodni in less than a full day of looking — even after authorities spent nearly 20,000 man-hours failing to find her.
Adventures With Purpose started searching Prosser Creek Reservoir on Sunday — and within hours found what they believe is the 16-year-old’s 2013 Honda CRV with a body inside.
“WE JUST FOUND KIELY RODNI,” the volunteer group claimed on Facebook, ahead of local authorities confirming that the body was indeed the teen who went missing after a nearby graduation party on Aug. 6.
*** end quote ***
The various agencies of Gooferment bragged about how much effort they put into the search. Only to “eat crow” when private citizens found her in less than a day.
I guess it all depends upon your motivation, tools, and training.
Like Uvalde, “who would build the roads” argument, but in this case it’s “who will find the bodies”!

This is the incredible moment a robber armed with an AR-15 fled screaming from a California liquor store after the 80-year-old owner blasted him with his shotgun.
Craig Cope opened fire after the 23-year-old armed intruder entered his shop in Norco in the early hours of Sunday.
Four suspects armed with guns were waiting outside, planning to rob the store while wearing facial coverings, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
But security camera footage shows Cope reaching for his shotgun and firing at the first robber as he burst in.
The man screamed out after being hit in the shoulder and ran from the store.
‘He shot my arm off! He shot my arm off!’ the man can be heard shouting as he runs back to a black BMW SUV.

California counties siphon Social Security benefits from some foster kids

IMHO most, if not all, sadly including my alma mater, have left the straight and narrow a long long time ago.
Guess they should change their name if for no other reason than truth in labeling.
One has to fault the Catholic Church hierarchy for not discipling those who mislabel themselves as “catholic”.
Maybe, just maybe, I am old and cynical, but I can understand the French Revolution where the Jacobites killed royalty, celebrities, bishops, priests, bankers, and scientists as an “unproductive strata of society”.
Unfortunately, instead of removing statues, we should be removing: politicians and bureaucrats, what Michael Malice calls the “cathedral” (i.e., liberal schools), and the corporate press.
I see a bloody future in the next civil war UNLESS everyone is allowed to go their own way peacefully. The Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah should be removed from “These United States of America” just as the South was kicked out of the Union.

Teen girl concussed after brutal basketball attack
By Ryan Glasspiegel
November 10, 2021 6:02pm Updated
*** begin quote ***
A disturbing cheap shot during a California basketball game left a teen girl concussed and her mother “in shock.”
At an event in Southern California, 15-year-old Lauryn Ham was sucker-punched by one of her opponents. According to her mother, she’s still recovering from the brutal punch over the weekend.
“Of course I was in total shock,” the victim’s mother, Alice Ham, told ABC7. “Just couldn’t believe that could happen to my child.”
Ham said her daughter was disoriented when she came home after the game.
“The person in question went down the court and shot a 3-pointer, landed, fell backwards into my daughter,” Ham said. “As they got up and turned and were walking back down to the other side of the court, her mom says to her, ‘You need to hit her for that.’ And the child in question sucker-punched my daughter.”
*** end quote ***
It was a vicious assault.
I agree with the victim’s Mom it was criminal.
At the very least, there should be public outrage.

PIERS MORGAN: All hail Emperor Newsom, the woke dictator fiddling with one pointless PC policy at a time while crime-ravaged California burns

*** begin quote ***
Empowered by his recent recall election win, Newsom fired off a raft of laws that included making it illegal to use gas-powered ‘off-road engine engines’ including leaf-blowers, lawn mowers and golf carts, ordered schools to teach all students ‘ethnic studies’, and large toy stores to have gender-neutral sections.
The first will cause huge financial pain to millions of Californians, especially to the 50,000 small businesses it directly effects, for minimal benefit to the environment.
The second has sparked fears of critical race theory now becoming a mandated subject in schools, something that many think will increase racial tension and division rather than heal it.

Once again, I am forced to agree with Pier Morgan again about Emperor Newsom.
California should be allowed to go its own way and not drag the rest of us along by Pelosi, Boxer, et al.
Much better for all involved.

$130,000 for an 8-foot-by-8-foot shed? That’s what L.A. is paying in a bid to house the homeless

Combining public and private funds, the nonprofit now manages 550 tiny homes in villages on public property, private property and church property around the Seattle area. It costs from $300,000 to $500,000 to set up 40 or 50 homes, depending on the sewer connection, Lee said. Portable toilets initially used have been replaced by permanent bathrooms and showers.
The villages function as communities, with residents all performing chores and, at some, taking part in self-governance.
Seattle’s citizen-driven model never got traction in Los Angeles.
When a self-styled homeless activist started delivering hand-made tiny homes to people living on the streets, the city ruled the structures illegal and quickly stamped out the movement.

Too bad the Gooferment squashes any private attempt to solve the problem that the Gooferment created!

The local governments in both LA and San Francisco have experienced an increase in homeless people using their sidewalks as their campgrounds. This has led to an increase of sidewalks and streets being contaminated with human feces and used syringes. So, what is the solution offered by their noble leaders? To do nothing. Absolutely nothing.

If the D’s “run” the country like they do “their” cities, then why would anyone EVER vote for a D?
Not that the R’s are that much better, but in the dimension of “city management” they have credentials.
Argh!

A California Charity Becomes a Casualty of City Regulators
Remso Martinez•February 3, 2019
*** begin quote ***
Charity is a beautiful thing that everyone tends to support, regardless of creed or partisan slant. However, there is a strange concept of “forced” charity that both Republicans and Democrats try to enforce in their own various ways. Whether it is through entitlements, bailouts, or pork spending, some in government think that their involvement makes everything better, but in reality, those good intentions more often than not have adverse consequences.
*** and ***
The primary change for Deliverance is the requirement that no food may be prepared in a volunteer’s home, which has been our primary method of food preparation. The Board of Directors discussed options for utilizing an existing food prep facility, but due to the distributed nature of the organization, this option would prove to be cumbersome and perhaps only a short term solution to the problem. As a result, Deliverance, San Diego can no longer prepare hot meals for distribution to the homeless population of downtown San Diego without incurring significant logistical and financial costs.
*** and ***
If the government can create laws that restrict free people from providing a home cooked meal to the homeless, what is there to stop them from crafting a law that prohibits me from giving a pan of brownies to a neighbor? Or an office potluck where everyone brings a meal? This example might sound exaggerative but this whole situation creates a slippery slope for more state intervention in consensual and voluntary exchanges.
While the intentions of the regulators might be good, the homeless and needy probably would prefer a free meal instead of going hungry.
*** end quote ***
Remember this “homelessness” crisis was caused, at least in part, by the Gooferment closing mental institutions while promising community support, high property taxes, rental regulations, and the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”.
So naturally we can’t have any solution other than a Gooferment one!
Argh!

Surprise, the Mainstream Media is Wrong Again: Yes, Nullification Does Work
*** begin quote ***
You don’t have to dig into a history book to prove nullification works. I can prove it does with one word.
Weed.
In 1996, California voters approved Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act, authorizing the possession, cultivation, and use of cannabis (marijuana) for limited medical use.
The federal government claims the power to strictly enforce a total prohibition of marijuana. It makes no exception for medical purposes. Despite federal law, states have advanced the issue each year. This has happened in spite of a 2005 Supreme Court opinion supporting federal prohibition, and a relentless year-to-year increase in spending and enforcement efforts by the federal government.
Today, despite ongoing attempts to enforce federal prohibition, 21 states and Washington D.C. have legalized marijuana for medical use, and 14 states and D.C. have decriminalized marijuana possession. Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon and Washington State have all legalized marijuana for recreational use. Each year, new state laws and regulations help expand the market, and each expansion further nullifies the unconstitutional federal ban in effect.
No matter what the mainstream tells you, nullification works. History proves this. The present proves this. And we will continue to prove it in the future.
*** end quote ***
Marijuana was outlawed to protect Hearst’s paper factories from competition. Fueled by that racist and untrue “Reeffer Madness”, “We, The Sheeple” were stampeded into another attempt at “Prohibition”.
Any prohibition doesn’t work. It merely raises the cost to the consumer and allows politicians and bureaucrats to exert more un-Constitutional control over “We, The Sheeple”.
Argh!

Despite Secession Talk, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
May 04, 2017 By Mindy Fetterman
*** begin quote ***
Recently, these efforts have ranged from fairly large, ongoing campaigns in Texas and California to smaller pushes in Oklahoma, Maine, Utah, West Virginia and New York’s Long Island, among others.
Just last month, a longshot effort to allow Californians to vote on seceding fell apart after one of the founders dropped out amid criticism of his ties to Russia. But a new group pushing secession has vowed to collect the nearly 600,000 signatures required by July to put the measure on the November 2018 ballot.
Last May, the Texas Nationalist Movement came within two votes of adding Texas independence language to the state’s Republican platform. And in Oklahoma, Republican state Sen. Joseph Silk in January introduced a bill to remove the word “inseparable” from the sentence in the state constitution describing Oklahoma as “an inseparable part of the Federal Union.”
The move for independence, whether it’s from the right of the political spectrum as in Texas, or the left as in California, reflects the political division felt across the country, said Edward Meisse, a supporter of the Yes California secession group that just disbanded. “We have two diametrically opposed philosophies in our country, and we’re just not getting anywhere,” he said. “I think we should allow states to secede so California can be California and Texas can be Texas.”

Yeah, right! Unfortunately, once the Gooferment gets power, it will never relinquish it voluntarily. People can NOT be held against their will. If an individual did it, then it’d be called “kidnapping”. But when the Gooferment does it, it’s call “jurisdiction”. Of course, once people start to refuse their cooperation to the Gooferment, it’ll collapse. It happened to the old Soviet Union; it’ll happen here too.
With all the out of control spending, unfunded and underfunded pensions, soaring “entitlement” costs, the collapse is inevitable. The only question is “who takes the ‘haircut’?”
Argh!
Secession is the only LOGICAL solution.
