1 YEAR LATER: Maui Fire Settlement Reached

It was August 8, 2023 when the fires began in Maui.

The 1 year anniversary of the tragedy is next week.

And finally there’s a small silver lining.

As someone that’s been on the ground here in Maui, Hawaii for several days now, let me be clear:

THIS IS NOT A NATURAL DISASTER.

This fire was started by HUMANS—whether accidentally or intentionally.

Some of the survivors are finally getting something.

$4 billion was reached in settlement to around 450 lawsuits.

That’s roughly $8.8 million.

Not nearly enough to cover the life of a loved one. And how many of these survivors lost numerous loved ones?

They deserve answers!

And justice.

Maui Wildfire Plaintiffs Reach $4 Billion Settlement as Anniversary Nears: Hawaiian Electric is expected to pay the largest share — more than $1.5 billion — but avoided a heftier price tag that could have forced the utility into bankruptcy. https://t.co/LwTCt35d1c pic.twitter.com/spAHnIFXJU

ABC News reports:

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green announced a historic $4.037 billion settlement Friday to resolve claims arising from the tragic Aug. 8, 2023, Maui wildfires that left more than 100 people dead, thousands of others displaced and homes and businesses destroyed.

The settlement comes just before the one-year mark of the tragedy. 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,” according to a press release from Green’s office.

The settlement addresses roughly 450 lawsuits filed by individuals, businesses, and insurance companies in both state and federal courts in connection with the fires in Lahaina and Upcountry on the island of Maui.

The settlement agreement remains subject to final documentation and court approval, according to Green’s office.

Once a final settlement agreement is signed and approved following judicial and legislative review, payments are expected to start as early as mid-2025.

Was this fire caused by DEW?

This is what a Direct Energy Weapon (DEW) looks like. Parts of Maui was destroyed 100% by this sort of weapon… this explains why the trees were still standing. This weapon is aimed directly onto its target.#DEW #HAARP #2NDTRY pic.twitter.com/d1lMG29eT9

It was also the Maui fires that revealed the truth about blue items being ‘fireproof’.

Now you can see what they used to burn Maui & California.
These are clearly not “wild fires”… it’s a Directed energy weapon DEW…

Must be some sort of ultra blue beam…because nothing blue was burnt.

Paint y’alls houses 🏘 blue and don’t forget to purchase a blue car. 🚙 !… pic.twitter.com/GUbuIqkagC

Justice needs to be done for the people of Hawaii.

Here’s a refresher with Matt Walsh’s report on the fires:
