War on Property and Freedom“ This is an act of war against our country.”
“This is an act of war against our country. These fires are not isolated natural disasters or the result of incompetence—they are part of a deliberate strategy to dismantle private property and force populations into controlled urban centers.” – Diana West
In an exclusive interview with RAIR Foundation USA, renowned journalist and author Diana West shared her incisive analysis of the recent catastrophic fires in Los Angeles and Lahaina, Hawaii. Known for her fearless critique of communism, Islamization, and Western decline, West offered a deep dive into the broader implications of these events, drawing connections to globalist agendas, environmental policies, and the calculated erosion of individual freedoms…
Echoes of Lahaina: A Pattern of Destruction
The devastation from the August 2023 fires in Lahaina, Hawaii, served as a chilling precedent for the West. Comparing the two events, she noted similar patterns of poor media coverage, restricted access for residents and journalists, and the absence of rebuilding efforts. “Lahaina could have been rebuilt by now,” West said, pointing out, “Its small structures—restaurants, gift shops, and family homes—should not have taken over 17 months to restore.”
Instead, Lahaina remains locked down, with discussions underway to transform the area into a national park. A resident, finally granted access, captured footage exposing not just the devastation but the deliberate roadblocks to any rebuilding efforts. Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s signing of the Lahaina National Heritage Area Study Act has fueled suspicions of a federal land grab under the guise of preservation…
Environmentalism: The New Vehicle for Totalitarianism
West traced the roots of the current environmental agenda back to the early 1990s, citing the UN’s Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro as a pivotal moment.
“Victory in the Cold War was swiftly followed by Western leaders signing onto Agenda 21,” she noted, “despite its communist roots and its intent to erode middle-class prosperity.” West argued that environmentalism has been co-opted as a vehicle for communism, with policies like bans on brush clearing and weather manipulation exacerbating natural disasters.
The journalist also called attention to geoengineering and weather modification, practices she described as underreported but significant contributors to modern environmental crises. “Look up at the skies,” she urged. “They don’t look normal anymore, and these weather engineering projects are not just benign—they’re destructive.”..
A Civilizational War
West characterized the ongoing crises as part of a “civilizational war” waged not just through physical destruction but psychological manipulation.
“By showing us the destruction of places like Pacific Palisades, they condition us to accept the unimaginable,” she said. “It’s a psychological assault, preparing us for the worst.”
This war, she noted, goes beyond environmental policies. “The fires are only one front,” she said. “Mass migration, educational indoctrination, and economic destabilization are all part of the same overarching strategy to destroy the pillars of Western identity—family, private property, and sovereignty.”
