(OPINION) What are they trying to hide? Tall black fencing that stretches for miles and miles has been hastily constructed around the perimeter of Lahaina, and this has created a tremendous amount of speculation.
Are they trying to keep people out? Are they trying to keep people from seeing what really happened in Lahaina? There are so many questions that all of us should be asking right now. An independent journalist has captured video footage of this giant black fence that has been put up, and it is super creepy…
The official explanation that we are being given for this black fencing is that it is a “dust screen” that is meant to protect drivers from dust in the disaster zone…
The state Department of Transportation is installing nearly 30,000 linear feet of dust screen for the protection of highway users on Honoapiʻilani Highway (Route 30) and the Lahaina Bypass (Route 3000).
The work started on Aug. 16 with Maui-based contractors teaming up for the project and should take about a month to complete. The teams are constructing a fence that will stretch more than 5 miles.
Okay, but that doesn’t explain why there are countless law enforcement vehicles parked all along the black fencing. Anyone who approaches the black fence is quickly intercepted and told to go away. And if an unauthorized person is able to venture into the disaster zone, that individual will be arrested…
“That’s why we can’t have you walking down there,” Maui, Hawaii, Police Chief John Pelletier says in a video recently shared on TikTok. “We had to arrest somebody for trespassing. And so, if we want to keep doing this and slowing it down, keep doing that. Do a Freedom of Information Act figure out who that person is and tell that story. Knock it off.”
A narrator then cuts in and says, “All right, breaking news: The police chief in the region affected by these fires has started arresting witnesses, and he tells the press to dox the witnesses that he arrested.
So very concerning, the Maui police are now arresting witnesses. They’re telling people to stay away, and that they’ll arrest them if they show up. Are they trying to cover up key evidence?”
They clearly don’t want anyone to go down there. Why is that? It is also being reported that authorities are preventing people from flying drones over the disaster area as well…
An independent journalist named Geoff Cygnus has been documenting his trip to Maui, where he is attempting to report on this tragedy and its aftermath. He calls himself a “volunteer reporter” and has nearly 400,000 followers on TikTok. On August 17, he announced that local officials shut down their ability to fly drones, which made many people suspicious about what they might be trying to hide.
“I have been on public property that was not in any way locked down. That’s where my footage came from,” Cygnus said. But those areas are no longer available for filming.
Perhaps there are legitimate reasons why all of these extreme measures are being taken. But to many people, it feels like they are trying to cover up the truth. Of course, so much of the truth has already gotten out.
We already know that the sirens didn’t go off, we already know that a bureaucrat blocked the emergency release of water that was desperately needed to fight the fires, and we already know that a barricade was blocking the only paved road out of Lahaina on that fateful day.
By now, most of you have seen photographs of the vehicles that were burned as they waited in long lines right in the middle of the street.
One local resident was able to capture footage as he sat in his vehicle waiting to get out of Lahaina, and he claimed that authorities were “blocking off all exits and everyone is just stuck going in a circle in a fire pit”.
His video contains some very bad language, but it is the only such footage that I have seen. So that makes it extremely important evidence, and if you would like to view it you can do so right here. (READ MORE)
