'Were They Commisioned?'
In a recent appearance on Fox News'
The Ingraham Angle with host Laura Ingraham, actor
Mel Gibson shared his perspective on the devastating California wildfires, suggesting that their timing and impact might not be coincidental.
Gibson questioned, "Were they commissioned?" implying that the fires could have been deliberately set for ulterior motives
The award-winning filmmaker also took aim at California
Gavin Newsom. Here is what Gibson had to say about Los Angeles going up in flames.
Gibson's Personal Loss Amidst the Flames
While recording a podcast with
Joe Rogan in Austin, Texas, Gibson received news that his
Malibu mansion had been destroyed by the wildfires. Despite the loss of his $14.5 million home, he maintained a positive outlook, humorously noting that he no longer had to deal with plumbing problems. He emphasized that the safety of his loved ones was paramount, expressing relief that his family and even his chickens were unharmed.
'They Were Messing With the Water'
Gibson told Ingraham, "Well, you know, I know they were messing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another. They've been doing that a while. California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things. And then in the events like this, you sort of look, well, is it on purpose? Which, it's an insane thing to think. But one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. What could it be? You know, what do they want? The state empty? I don't know."
A History of Wildfire Encounters
This isn't Gibson's first experience with California wildfires threatening his property, according to a
report. In previous incidents, he reportedly pleaded with firefighters to save his home and cherished possessions, including his
Oscars. His repeated encounters with such disasters may contribute to his current skepticism about their origins.
Funds Funneled to DEI While L.A. Burns
Many of the ongoing "conspiracies" revolve around the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which reportedly allocated substantial funds to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the years leading up to the
catastrophic wildfires currently devastating Los Angeles County.
These fires have rapidly consumed thousands of acres, resulting in two fatalities and the destruction of approximately 1,000 properties. Residents and critics let their frustrations out on X, with one sharing, "Sure, let's let people roast to a cinder and destroy countless lives… but as long as we stay woke in the process right? Disgrace. California is finished folks."
Celebrity Losses and Community Resilience
Gibson is among several celebrities who have lost homes in the recent wildfires. Others affected include
Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal and
Miles Teller. Despite the devastation, many in the community, including public figures, are coming together to support relief efforts, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity.
