The LA fires are unprecedented in the number and size of the fires that have broken out in and around the second largest city in the US. Over 1000 structures and 45 square miles are destroyed. More than 380,000 people have been under warnings or orders to evacuate. Over 450,000 people are without power. More than 24 school districts are partially or totally closed. Fire hydrants have run dry. Arsonists in Santa Monica have been caught on camera setting fires. The LA County Sheriff says some areas look like ‘a bomb was dropped.’ President Biden commented on the fires while in LA. He doled out relief funds, and announced he is a first time great-grandfather, and that son Hunter’s home in LA is unharmed. Today Biden gave a national address promising to oversee a full federal response to the wildfires.
The 15 Minute City Plans for Los Angeles
Los Angeles is one of dozens of cities whose “mayors and the cities they lead” are members in the international C40 Cities initiative. This is a movement to achieve the United Nations and globalist goals of restructuring cities to address the manufactured “climate change” crisis. Cities from around the world are participating in this movement.
Funding support comes from many progressive and globalist sources, including the Open Society Foundations run by George Soros and son as well as other supporters. Soros is notorious for training and funding riots in America and for taking many other actions to ruin the economies of sovereign nations, earning him the title among others of the “worst billionaire in the world.” Other contributors are Uber, FedEx, Google, Wellcome, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the UK Government, the European Union, among many others. The World Bank, one of the most predatory globalist institutions which is closely associated with the UN, is a designated Partner.
Los Angeles is all-in on their 15 Minute City plan that they have named the Livable Communities Initiative (LCI): “a plan to address LA’s housing, traffic and climate crisis by building 3-5 stories of gentle density above small retail along carefully chosen commercial streets that are transformed to be walkable, bikeable, and livable.” This sounds like the perfect plan for the now destroyed Pacific Palisades community which is part of Greater Los Angeles. The Pacific Palisades neighborhood was an older community with many quirky and quaint but aged features. A profile of the neighborhood offers further details about the community that existed prior to the fire destruction. Now that the area has suffered such destruction, rebuilding has to occur.
Whether it is a bizarre coincidence or a result of dreadfully bad politics this is the kind of disaster that progressives and globalists love to take advantage of and we can expect to see glowing reports of the coming construction of LA as a shining example of the Olympics and future cities of the world. The only question is, can they get it together in time? We anticipate that all the regulations and red tape that they usually embrace will magically disappear.
We are left with the astonishing serendipity that a huge swath of the City of Los Angeles has been cleared just in time to be made shovel ready for a newer, better, futuristic version of city neighborhoods to be constructed that will be a showcase for the 2028 Olympics. All the sentimentality and the cultural and historic building objections to modernization, not to mention property owned by private individuals who may not want to sell or give up their home or business building, have been swept aside in a 48-hour period by a scorched earth event.
Let the building begin.
Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste
The coincidences continue to pile up, leading many to declare that the massive neglects, mistakes, and failures resulting in devastation from the LA wildfires was more than a natural disaster. Evidence of this has not yet emerged. But Los Angeles is prepared. They already have all the plans in place to build back better. As President Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is famous for saying: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
With the LA fires of 2025 the landscape is now prepared for the building of SmartLA 2028, just in time for the Olympics.
SmartLA 2028—The Blueprint is Already in Place
The City of Los Angeles already produced the blueprint in 2020 to implement their 15-minute city plan. This will convert LA into a “highly digital and connected city in 2028.” SmartLA 2028: Technology for a better Los Angeles, declares:
Los Angeles residents will experience an improved quality of life by leveraging technology to meet urban challenges. No longer the “car capital of the world”, residents will choose how they wish to get around LA, using a single, digital payment platform, with choices like renovated Metro rail and bus systems or micro transit choices, such as on-demand LANow shuttles or dockless bicycles. Neighborhoods will again welcome the pedestrian and allow easy access to green space.
The Introduction of the blueprint contains a declaration from Mayor Eric Garcetti from his state of the City delivered April 19, 2020:
”The soul of our recovery will shape the contours of our City’s future for decades to come… We have a blueprint for the city of the future.”
The SmartLA 2028 blueprint contains a map of the Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Hollywood regions, all seriously fire-damaged, showing their special importance in the coming city restructuring.
