Palisades Fire

We Are All in This Together

We Are All In This Together

The celebrities who were silent when we needed them will be the first to line up for an audition to star in the docudrama of the Palisades Fire.

In 2018, my family lost our home in the Woolsey Fire. For six years, we played by the rules, meticulously and obediently following Malibu’s permit process to rebuild. We were issued a permit in 2022 which they quickly revoked claiming they made a mistake resulting in us starting all over again. By August 2024, Patricia Zepeda from the LA County Fire Department told us we could never rebuild, and she refused to honor our valid fire signoff which had not expired. Her reason? She claimed two fire trucks wouldn't be able to pass each other on our access road, directly contradicting commitments made to us by her own Fire Chief in 2019.
The irony is, as we all know, no fire trucks were ever seen in either fire.
We eventually moved, only to lose everything again just two months later in the Palisades Fire. Our family made significant financial and life impacting decisions based verbal and written commitments made by the fire department and City of Malibu. They are fully aware that they can say and do anything without consequences. Evidence has even proven they often favor developers at the detriment and suffering of fire victims.
Knowing the depth of this government malfeasance, and understanding the impenetrable shield of sovereign immunity they hide behind, I knew the publicized story of the fire was a fabrication. This is what compelled me to begin my own investigations. In May 2025, I released my first major report, "Unprecedented Failure Not Unprecedented Conditions," definitively dismantling and disproving the false narratives of "climate change" and "hurricane-force winds" resulting in the Palisades Fire.
Throughout 2025, I conducted multiple investigations into the publicized false narrative of the fire. In the prominent example where I disproved the misleading claims of 'hurricane-force winds' at the start of the fire, I revealed that the false statement was nothing more than a celebrity PR campaign designed to protect the Mayor and the LAFD. It was simply another lie from our leadership intended excuse their unprecedented failure and to silence us.
To be honest, I have lost count of the lies we were told this year. So today, I will focus on the only truth we have heard since the fire began.
Leadership's Only True Statement
On January 24th, 2025, Gavin Newsom said:
“We are all in this together.”

Yes.
They Are All
In This Together

To Discredit.
To Divide.
To Dehumanize.

The three-part strategy used to silence the truth of the Palisades Fire.

They Are All In This Together to DISCREDIT Us
They have been spreading disinformation while falsely accusing the truth as misinformation.
There has been no evidence to support the false claim of hurricane force winds at the start of the fire.

A common tactic throughout history is to discredit the truth in effort to silence survivors of unnatural disasters.
They Are All In This Together to DIVIDE Us
I received cease and desist notices from people claiming to be neighbors for investigating and reporting what happened to us.
Even today, we are divided with at least ten different events competing for the same headline.

From history, they have learned that if they divide us, they can defeat and silence us.
They Are All In This Together to DEHUMANIZE Us
They have branded us as 'rich', and the world views us as unrelatable by saying it is our fault for living here.
The majority of us do not live in mansions. More than 12 people died in the fire, and thousands of pets burned alive.

Throughout history, they have learned that if they can dehumanize us into 'others' or 'at fault', the world will look away while we suffer.

Same Excuses
Throughout History

These are the common tactics used by leadership in the wake of unnatural disasters. Historically, the public’s response to these patterns has remained remarkably consistent.

In historical events similar to the Palisades Fire, the public has consistently relied on the same excuses to justify their silence and inaction:

1) "We didn’t know."

2) "We were afraid."

3) "We were not involved."


You believe that through silence, you are absolved of involvement.History proves otherwise.
Silence is not a refuge. It is a choice that empowers the oppressor and deepens our wounds. To understand how inaction causes more harm than the words of any enemy, we must remember a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
— Martin Luther King Jr.

We Will Not
Remember

Message from Leadership

Governor Gavin Newsom telling the world that we are opportunistic for wanting to rebuild the community he let burn.

Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress

Wanda Lett from LADWP and the many others who laughed at us and told us to move when we asked the city for permit fee waivers.

Cowards Praised for Failure

The Fire Department filming themselves laughing at our homes burning on Jan 7 at 7PM during the Palisades Fire then again laughing at the fire victims who thanked them for their service on the Jan 11 Palisades Community Meeting.

We Will
Remember

Silence

How the world asked why the media failed to do their job and report the truth.

Courage

That Spencer Pratt and Mel Gibson were the only celebrities who refused to stay silent while all others remain cowards.

Choice

How we asked for your help today, and you chose to remain silent.

History will be written by the brave who survived the fire,
not those who stood by and watched us burn.



The Time for Excuses
Has Ended

The Past Excuse: "We didn’t know."

Ignorance is no longer a defense.

Saying "I didn't know" is no longer an acceptable excuse. I have provided the fact sheets and the documented truth. To claim ignorance now is a deliberate choice to ignore the evidence.

The Past Excuse: "We were afraid."

Fear is no longer a barrier.

Fear only thrives in isolation. You do not need to be afraid because you are not alone. You have us, and you have our support. We’re here to make sure you never have to defend the truth alone.

The Past Excuse: "We were not involved."

Silence is now a confession.

You believe silence keeps you neutral. It does not. If you continue to choose silence after seeing the truth, you have officially chosen involvement. Your inaction is your contribution to the crime.

We have a chance to end this suffering.

The survivors of the Palisades Fire are not asking for your pity. They are asking for your voice. History is watching where you stand.

You are in this together
With them and against us.

Unless you speak for the silenced. Because when we stand together, the truth finally has a voice.
