DESCRIPTION: California fires are starting to look less like an Act of God and more like a crime of man. The California Fires of January 2025 continue to rage across some of the most prominent communities of Los Angeles. On January 4, 2025, the National Weather Service announced the following: “Fire Weather Watches & High Wind Watches are in effect Tuesday-Friday next week. Strong/damaging N-NE winds will be possible, likely peaking Tuesday-Wednesday. Stay up to date with the forecast as we get closer to the event.” On the same day of this announcement, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass boarded a plane for Ghana as part of a diplomatic visit to attend the inauguration of the newly elected John Dramani Mahama on January 7th the following week. On January 5th, as Mayor Bass arrived in Ghana, the National Weather warned that widespread damaging winds and extreme fire weather conditions were to be expected Tuesday afternoon (January 7) through at least Wednesday across the greater Los Angeles area. Bass remained in Ghana. On January 6th, Monday, The National Weather Service was no longer holding back. It announced:

“HEADS UP!!! A LIFE-THREATENING, DESTRUCTIVE, Widespread Windstorm is expected Tue afternoon-Weds morning across much of Ventura/LA Co. Areas not typically windy will be impacted. Stay indoors, away from windows, expect power outage.”
Mayor Bass merely retweeted a less dramatic warning from Ghana. She gave no indication that she would be returning to do her job as Mayor and help protect her city and its population. On Tuesday, January 7, the Palisades fire broke out around 10:30am. Meanwhile, Mayor Bass attended the inauguration of the Ghanaian President. Later that day, the Eaton fire broke out at 6:30pm. At 1030pm the Hurst fire broke out in Sylmar just northwest of downtown Los Angeles. By Wednesday wildfires were raging across Los Angeles County. At noon on this same Wednesday Mayor Bass returned to her city, arriving via commercial plane at Los Angeles International Airport. Bass refused to answer questions or even utter a word as a Sky News reporter asked her numerous but appropriate questions. Her face puckered up but still she stood silently, refusing to answer the reporter’s questions. As of this video, the fires continue and have ravaged some of the most valuable neighborhoods in the country. At the same time there have been widespread reports of fire hydrants losing pressure and water, insufficient numbers of personnel to fight the fires, looting, and even numerous reports of arson…yes…arson! So many things that either started and/or exacerbated this fire seem criminal, not accidental.
Host Brian O’Shea is investigating everything about these fires because there are just too many coincidences to create the perfect storm…or firestorm! The lack of preparation and planning by the leadership of Los Angeles city, Los Angeles County, and the State of California are too overt to be just poor leadership or inept management. The cancellation of thousands of homeowners insurance policies prior to these fires, now the largest in California history, cannot be ignored. Groups and individual arsonists setting fires (or attempting to) in multiple locations seems coordinated. And the mere timing of the Mayor’s trip to Ghana seems planned (because, she is after all, just a mayor…so why send her as part of a White House delegation??). He has also started diving into the most important question of any investigation: motive. Who would benefit from these fires in these areas? Who would have the motive to either start them or, if they did begin naturally, who would have the motive to create the conditions to let them burn so hot, so far, and so destructively? Yes, he and his Detectives Circle are leaving room for the hypothesis of this fire being organic…but they are also collecting facts to determine if this destruction was merely negligence on the part of the Mayor, the Governor, and others or if the destruction was intentional, expected, and planned. Right now they only have leads, but these leads, like the fires, are growing and starting to touch upon key areas that could potentially expose corruption…and criminality. Brian O’Shea is following the facts, but the trail continues to grow hotter. Join us on this episode as we open a new case, The Case of the FIRESTARTER.
