Several residents in the town told news outlets that they began to receive messages on Facebook and other platforms from people inquiring about whether they were open to parting with their land.
While the incidents made major headlines in the coming weeks and even led to a temporary moratorium on property sales, many within Hawaii's indigenous community, Kanaka Maoli, fear that with the fires in Maui faded and soon with it the media coverage, developers will get back on the hunt, targeting the victims of these fires for their land.
"These vulture capitalists, vulture developers are preying upon our people and our connection to the land during a time when none of us have been given time to properly grieve," said Kahala Johnson, a PhD student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and an indigenous activist with ancestral ties to Maui.

Kolomoisky has since fallen into disfavor with the Kiev Regime and was arrested Sept. 2.

Former President Donald Trump delivered remarks blasting electric vehicle mandates in Michigan Wednesday night.
Former President Donald Trump delivered remarks blasting electric vehicle mandates in Michigan Wednesday night.
Trump, 77, slammed the 80-year-old president's promotion of electric vehicles as a "government assassination" of the US auto industry, as he pleaded with union members in a primetime speech at Drake Enterprises — an auto parts manufacturer outside of Detroit - to urge their leaders to endorse his 2024 presidential campaign.
"To the striking workers, I support you and your goal of fair wages and greater stability, and I truly hope you get a fair deal for yourselves and your families," Trump said. "But if your union leaders will not demand that crooked Joe repeal his electric vehicle mandate immediately, then it doesn't matter what hourly wage you get."
Comment: Legal Insurrection on the reports Biden 'walked for 12 minutes, spoke for 87 seconds' at UAW picket line:
'I care' theater
Earlier this week, I noted that the current occupant of the White House was planning to come to Michigan and spend time picketing with the United Auto Workers, who are striking three auto manufacturers.
He joined the group of union picketers at the General Motors plant on Tuesday....Biden grabbed a bullhorn and joined striking autoworkers in Michigan on Tuesday, becoming the first sitting president to join a picket line in an extraordinary show of support for workers demanding better wages.Biden walked for 12 minutes and spoke for 87 seconds.
Auto companies were doing well, Mr. Biden told dozens of workers outside a General Motors facility that employs more than 200 people in Belleville, Mich., outside Detroit.
General Motors did its best to ignore the president's visit, saying in a statement: "Our focus is not on politics but continues to be on bargaining in good faith with the U.A.W. leadership to reach an agreement as quickly as possible." The company added that "nobody wins" from a strike.
The move is also unprecedented.But sitting presidents, who have to balance the rights of workers with disruptions to the economy, supply chains and other facets of everyday life, have stayed out of the strike fray — until Biden.Biden joins UAW strikers on the picket line in Michigan: "I marched a lot of UAW picket lines when I was a Senator since 1973. But I tell you what, first time I've ever done it as a president."
Unimpressed, Trump called Biden's visit "nothing more than a PR stunt from Crooked Joe Biden to distract and gaslight the American people from his disastrous Bidenomics policies that have led to so much economic misery across the country."
...Labor historians said they could not recall an instance when a sitting president had joined an ongoing strike, even during the tenures of ardent pro-union presidents such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman. Theodore Roosevelt invited labor leaders alongside mine operators to the White House amid a historic coal strike in 1902, a decision that was seen at the time as a rare embrace of unions as Roosevelt tried to resolve the dispute.
The irony of this move by Biden is being noted on social media...often.
While there are no reports of Biden slipping, tripping, or falling, some are using the event to inject a little humor into the review of today's episode of "I Care" theater.

"This initiative aims to create more accountability and help get people to accept the treatment and services they need."
"This initiative aims to create more accountability and help get people to accept the treatment and services they need."
San Francisco Mayor London Breed, a Democrat, wants welfare recipients to participate in drug testing and treatment programs if needed.
Breed thinks the requirement would help address the city's drug and homeless crisis:
Under the proposed legislation, those who apply for or receive benefits from the County Adult Assistance Programs (CAAP) would undergo screening for substance use disorder and participate in a substance abuse treatment program when the screening reveals that they may have a substance abuse dependency. The legislation must be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
—
Under the new proposal, as a condition of eligibility to receive CAAP, individuals with suspected substance use disorder would be required to participate in substance abuse screenings or treatment programs funded by SFHSA. These treatment programs would include a range of interventions from residential treatment, medical detox, medically-assisted treatment, outpatient options, and abstinence-based treatment, among others based on the needs of the client. Individuals who refuse or do not successfully engage in treatment would not be eligible to receive CAAP cash assistance and their application would be denied, or they would be discontinued from receiving cash assistance.
Comment: Sadly, everyone appears to be right here. Those receiving assistance should be accountable for that aid. Addicts won't change, no matter how many programs they are forced into, until they want to change. So what would provide incentive to change? San Francisco has made itself uninhabitable for all but the wealthy. Faced with few prospects, it's no wonder many take refuge in drugs to numb the hopelessness of their situation.
So, as was said, any ideas Mr. Preskin?

Russian media, including RT, participated in SPIEF-2023
Russian media, including RT, participated in SPIEF-2023
Among 12 media accounts analyzed, RT experienced the highest engagement growth in the 90 days following Musk's decision in April to remove 'government-funded' and 'state-affiliated' labels from certain outlets, NewsGuard said on Tuesday. The number of 'likes' and reposts for RT's account increased to 2.5 million in the period studied, up from 1.3 million.
The analysis focused on Chinese, Iranian, and Russian media outlets, which NewsGuard branded "state-run disinformation sources" and purveyors of "propaganda."
NewsGuard cited political memes posted by Iranian news accounts as purported examples of disinformation. Another instance was supposedly a link shared by Iran's PressTV to an article on remarks made by US presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who argued that Americans "created" the Islamic State terrorist group. Kennedy made the claim during an election rally in Boston, where he accused Washington of decades of misguided foreign policy.

The Roman Empire may have left an amazing legacy — but men allegedly "geek out" about the period more often than expected.
A recent TikTok trend prompted women to ask the men in their lives how often they think about the Roman Empire.
The app exploded as husbands, boyfriends, dads and friends revealed what they think about the era and its feats multiple times a week — if not every day.

Membership of the groups is estimated to be in the vicinity of 175,000 people
Membership in Mexico's deadly drug cartels continues to surge as dozens of people join the crime groups daily, according to research published by the academic journal Science on Thursday. The study also estimated cartels to be the fifth-largest employers in the Latin American country.
Tracking information on homicides, incarcerations, and other related data over the past decade, researchers created a mathematical model to trace cartel recruitment numbers. It found that membership of around 150 drug cartels is cumulatively estimated to be 175,000, which placed it above most of Mexico's largest employers.

Comment: Lockdowns caused more damage to the people and the economy than the virus itself.
Obesity is a problem and the lockdowns probably made the situation even worse but the real culprit for increased heart failure deaths is probably not obesity but the experimental and dangerous mRNA shots that they called vaccines.
They knew that they did not prevent the spread of the virus and that they cause myocarditis, pericarditis, and blood clots but they still forced people to take them.
If we don't understand and spread the truth about this genocide by PTB, they will probably repeat it, with even more innocent victims.
