Thousands of victims of the catastrophic Maui wildfires of 2023 will receive a $4 billion settlement, it was announced on Friday night.
The settlement will resolve all tort claims against seven different parties— the state of Hawai‘i, County of Maui, Hawaiian Electric, Kamehameha Schools, West Maui Land Co., Hawaiian Telcom, and Spectrum/Charter Communications—for their role in the death and destruction caused by the wildfires on August 8 2023. Over 2,200 claims will be settled.
Although the fires were initially blamed on climate change, including by Hawaii Governor Josh Green and White House “energy czar” John Podesta, investigations revealed critical failings by the state’s main utility provider, and that the cause was fallen power lines.
As a result, the government of Maui County filed a lawsuit against the Hawaii Electric Company and its subsidiaries alleging failure to maintain their system and power grid, as well as neglecting their duty to “properly maintain and repair the electric transmission lines, and other equipment including utility poles associated with their transmission of electricity, and to keep vegetation properly trimmed and maintained so as to prevent contact with overhead power lines and other electric equipment.”

A press release was issued to announce the settlement, which remains subject to final documentation and court approval.
“Today, Governor Josh Green, M.D., announced a historic settlement to resolve all tort claims arising from the Maui wildfires,” the release says.
“Less than a year after devastating wildfires on Maui, the seven defendants – state of Hawai‘i, County of Maui, Hawaiian Electric, Kamehameha Schools, West Maui Land Co., Hawaiian Telcom and Spectrum/Charter Communications – undertook significant efforts to find a resolution that addresses the needs and ensures the well-being of plaintiffs, all affected individuals, and their families.
“Under the proposed terms of the global settlement agreement, which remains subject to final documentation and court approval, the seven defendants will pay $4.037 billion to provide compensation to all those who have brought claims for compensation arising from the Aug. 8, 2023 windstorms and wildfires on Maui, including the approximately 2,200 affected parties who filed lawsuits. The state of Hawaiʻi would contribute to the settlement in addition to its $65 million contribution to the One ʻOhana Fund.”
In addition to the failures of the state and utility companies that helped cause the fires, the tragedy on Maui was made yet worse by confusion and obstacles that prevented residents from fleeing. Terrified residents found exit routes blocked by barricades. Those who simply waited in their cars were engulfed by the flames.
“One family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later, another drove their four-wheel-drive car down a dirt road to escape,” reported the Associated Press.
Musk was concerned about the influx of migrants who can make the US a socialist state under the Democrats. He said that DOGE is a threat to fraudulent payments for entitlements to illegal aliens, everything from Social Security, Medicare, unemployment, disability, and Small Business Administration loans.
Musk briefly addressed the vandalism during an appearance on Sen. Ted Cruz’s podcast, saying “at least some of it is organized and paid for” by “leftwing organizations in America, funded by leftwing billionaires, essentially.” He said that Act Blue and the Arabella dark money network were involved.
The Biden-era EPA parked $20 billion at an outside bank and it was then dispersed in grants to leftist groups. The Abrams-linked Power Forward Communities received $2 billion as part of these grants, however, the organization reported just $100 in total revenue after their founding in late 2023.

Israel implemented a total blockade of humanitarian relief to citizens of Gaza last week, and Houthi leaders threatened to again begin blocking Israel’s Red Sea shipping activities. Trump responded with a barrage of bombs that killed at least 53 people, including women and children.
Ireland accused Israel of war crimes in Gaza and if it continues, the ACJ said it will advocate for the US government to “take serious action in response”. The senior vice president of the ADL said, “We expect the Irish government to act swiftly and will be closely monitoring the situation.”
President Trump recently pounced on Massie, for opposing the government CR funding proposal. Trump called Massie a ‘grandstander’ and threatened to oust him from office by running a Republican candidate against him in the next primary election. In response, Massie was flooded with donations for his next election.

Investigative journalist James O’Keefe recently went undercover in Lahaina, Hawaii, and had his First Amendment violated by Maui police who told him that he could not film beyond a certain boundary and that the order was given by Governor Josh Green who had issued an emergency proclamation.
A man from Vancouver, Washington, just north of Portland returned to retrieve his Nissan Titan truck from a bar parking lot that he left there overnight, as he used an Uber to get home the night before, and found only its burnt-out remains. The truck owner says it is absurd to destroy someone else’s property over a difference of opinion.
Forensic arborist Robert Brames explained the burn patterns of recent fires are very unusual as tree and plant leaves, twigs and branches did not burn, but buildings were destroyed down to white ash. He said that he thinks the fires were caused by satellites due to the focus on certain areas for hours.

Yeah, they got a settlement; but did they get their PROPERTY back? Or did they have to relinquish their property in order to receive the settlement?
Hopefully Mr. Griffin will update us on that. We all need to know the ultimate outcome.

The Maui “wildfires” for some reason seemed to burn cars and buildings more than they burned trees. Vehicles had melted glass and aluminum wheels reduced to puddles… unless they were BLUE vehicles which were somehow protected. Blue patio umbrellas in Lahaina also were spared amidst the inferno. The incinerated buildings and vehicles in Lahaina were quite similar to those in the Paradise, CA fires. If citizen journalists have figured out that these fires were caused by directed energy weapons (DEWs), do we really believe that our trillion-dollar military/intelligence apparatus couldn’t figure this out?
