Are Maui fires mostly CGI fakery?

"No, it isn't really in B&W because we can see some gold in the lower right. Which means they jacked with this on purpose, removing most of the color to sell you the idea of this fire."
This is the point I realized this article was stupid. The gold in the lower right of the photo was glare from sunlight. Based upon the direction of the camera and the coastline, this would have been sunrise. Colors are always muted in periods of time with strange lighting. There was obvious green color in the sea water. The buildings appeared "B&W" because they were burned and covered in ash. There is no color in a burned-out community, especially from that distance. Was the ashen appearance enhanced? Perhaps...but so what?
There may have been some changes in how the photos appeared because news agencies manipulated them to get them to "print" better, but that's not the point of this article. The point was to suggest a broader conspiracy, even to imply that the fire didn't happen as the news reports. Just because a news agency manipulates a photo for shock value, doesn't mean that there is a conspiracy at play.
You say the following: "Just do a search on this site." You mean the dozens of posts about the Maui fires being due to a DEW, then showing a video clip with flashes of light from transformers exploding? Or videos showing oblong-shaped fire lines as "proof" of a DEW, totally ignoring (or oblivious to) the topography of the landscape, or the fact that wind-driven fire behaves this way? This message board is FULL of ridiculousness that makes us look like gullible fools. You say we need to be "investigators," yet the posts on this board prove, time and time again, that no one "investigates" anything -- they just immediately post anything and everything they see on Twitter or Facebook, without checking.
FYI, I'm not criticizing the OP for posting this link to the article. But it was done so with no effort from him, no opinion, or caveat. It was left open for critiques from the rest of us...which I did. However, instead of focusing upon the article, what you did was to focus on my opinion, instead of providing counterpoints why you support the points in the article. You could have said something like, "Yeah, I can see why you would feel that way. But consider this, or take a look at the way the author presented such-and-such."
If you spent the same amount of time critically analyzing this article as you did my statements, this whole exchange between you and me would have been totally unnecessary. I don't care if you (or anyone else) don't share my opinion. But the way you respond to posts/opinions from others in an antagonistic manner is out-of-line.
Every post people make on this message board doesn't have to be a diatribe, full of links and other supporting evidence. I said my piece in my first comment, until you came along. Sometimes, it's just fine for folks to post an opinion. In the two years I have been posting on this message board, I have never ONCE treated anyone else with disrespect, yet others seem to think it's their "right" to do so, and make responses/attacks personal. That is what makes this message board a hostile place.
I agree, but you began your post with an ad hominem. This all by itself is hugely problematic. That should never be done, and is one of the primary tools of fuckery used by the Cabal to create false beliefs.
People believe what they believe primarily because of ad hominems, and not evidence itself. That is why all "fact checkers" begin with an ad hominem, designed to steer the conversation away from the actual evidence presented without actually addressing the evidence presented. Fact checkers later (usually) go on to address evidence, but the stage is set with the ad hominem, placing the future address of evidence into a box, falsely supporting the argument by basing it on a fallacy.
I focused on your presentation of your opinion because it is essential that people understand the depth of the hidden fuckery in such presentations of argument. The Matrix, a completely false belief about reality, is created primarily through appeals to ethos (ad hominem and pro hominem), and by out of context (or woefully insufficient context) "debunkings," both of which you did in your original response. The discussion of the facts presented is important, and I didn't do that, but I feel it is far more important for us to all appreciate how our own rhetoric reflects that of the primary tools used by the Cabal to create false beliefs. THAT understanding is what's most important in the solution, not the particulars of any one specific event. Until we all understand how to address "the truth" through our rhetoric, even when just offering our opinion, we will continue to enchain our ability to get closer to it. Our trained rhetoric is literally designed to steer us away from the truth.
As for the rest of what you said, I will not address it directly, not because you don't make good points, you do, but because there is something I don't think you appreciate. My investigation strongly supports the assertion that the world is pretty much one big conspiracy. Read my report. The part there so far shows the creation of the singular corporation that exists (there is only one corporation in the world), and the single body of people that control it. The next part (coming out very soon I hope) will make it super clear that pretty much everything is a conspiracy. The "news," what is shown on the news, is almost never the truth. It is all contrived. Mostly, it is stuff taken out of context, but it is also actors staging events to fill a narrative (having little to nothing to do with the truth of an event), false flags, real events created by agents provocateur, etc. There are even people on tic tok, youtube, etc. that are such actors and agents provocateur, designed to feed the "independent journalist" into believing a false narrative, even when that narrative is different from the mainstream narrative. That doesn't mean that any or all such pieces of evidence are false, but they are all suspect, and should be looked at with that lens.
The Matrix is complete, with many mouths and many opinions, designed to be in opposition, all coming from a single source. In such a world, it is very difficult to be discerning. It is only through considered debate and presentation of evidence that we can get closer to the truth of anything. It is essential that we relearn our training to appeal to ethos and pathos (which are always fallacies), and learn to appreciate that even appeals to logos are not "the truth," even if they are logically true (which just means logically consistent, the axioms could be false or otherwise unstated). By working together, and relearning our rhetoric, we can get closer to the truth. That is the only way.
I do not think I attacked you at all. If you think I did, please point out how I did. I addressed your rhetoric for the reasons stated above. That is not a personal attack from my perspective. I do that to everyone. I am an equal opportunity offender in that regard.
