Fulford’s Report:
The important thing about the LA fires is that they have woken up the majority of the people in the US to the fact they are being attacked by corporate interests. That is why corporate shills at places like the AP (Absurd Propaganda) are coming under heavy attack when they pretend we are dealing with “wildfires.”
Let’s throw in a few illustrations to make it clear this was a deliberate attack. First, as the photo and the video below show, the trees between the burnt houses are all intact. If this was a wildfire, the trees would have burnt first.

This next photo shows a blue car that is remarkably unscathed, just like blue roofed houses were in Maui.

Furthermore, these videos show the actual attacks being carried out using DEWs.

Then of course we have multiple reports of illegal immigrants with UN-issued debit cards carrying out arson attacks in LA.
It turns out that, just as in Maui, Acapulco and other places that have experienced such attacks recently, a “smart city” is being planned for LA just where the fires burned.

So who benefits? The answer of course is the usual suspects: BlackRock, State Street, etc. and their pet politicians like California Governor Gavin Newsom. Take a look at the corporate sponsors of Smart LA 2028:

https://la28.org/en/our-partners.html
Of course the forensic trail of the ultimate owners of these corporations will take you inevitably to the Octagon group in Switzerland.
What we need to realize is that these criminals have been running the planet for over 20,000 years and do not intend to go quietly into the night.
They have announced plans for “Smart Cities” in Austin, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, New York, Pittsburg, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle and Washington DC. As the KM’s track record shows, they have been using DEWs and arson to clear people out of the areas they plan to build in.
Remember too the KM has as many as 10 million military-aged illegal immigrants standing by in various parts of the country waiting for orders. We also know that weapons stashes have been prepared for them. We are also seeing reports of mystery containers appearing at ports around the United States, possibly containing weapons and mercenary soldiers and who knows what else.
In another disturbing sign, three Humvees with machine gun mounts, and a whole bunch of military-grade gear were stolen from the Army Reserve Center in Tustin.
In a sign Alex Soros is one of the people pushing the US mayhem, Soros funds the 20% of US prosecutors who preside over 40% of homicides in the US.

Listen to Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban describe how Soros issued bonds in 2015 to finance the huge influx of illegal immigrants behind the crime waves in Europe and the US.

Even though the KM have illegal immigrant mercenaries, DEWs and weather weapons at their disposal, they are human beings who can be hunted down and brought to justice.

This means the US military, the National Guard and civilian militias can deal with the problem.
Remember, these criminals operate by compromising the tip top of the power structure and assume everyone below will “follow orders.” We need to make sure those on the top serve the majority of the people and not the hidden KM elite. That is why pressure needs to be applied up the chain of command to ensure it is not compromised.
That is also why a huge secret war is being waged over which “Donald Trump” will take power a week from today. Will it be the real one or the short avatar at Mar a Largo working for the Satanic P2 Freemasons?
A senior US Space Force source warns “The Deep State will do everything to stop [the real] Trump from being inaugurated on the 20th. The venue may be moved to another location for Trump’s safety. The real Trump has still not decided if he will attend. We still have 7 days left and anything can happen, to postpone the inauguration. The Deep State has prepared several backup plans. There is going to be a huge fight over Trump and the inauguration. The Supreme Court is still sitting on the Brunson case meaning civil war in the US is now inevitable.”
This is what the real Trump promises:
“I will sign Day One orders to end all Biden restrictions on energy production, terminate his insane electric vehicle mandate, cancel his natural gas export ban, reopen ANWR in Alaska—the biggest site, potentially anywhere in the world—and declare a national energy emergency.”
Trump says he and Chinese President Xi Jinping are getting along “very well” and have been communicating through aides. Trump and Xi are negotiating a write off of all debts and a one-off redistribution of assets, according to Asian secret society sources involved in the negotiations.
It also appears that Trump is trying to determine what sort of deals Barack Obama has reached with China. In this video from the Jimmy Carter funeral, Trump told Obama they would have to “find a quiet place” later today to discuss a “matter of importance,” forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman tells the New York Post. “Obama and Trump appeared to be discussing international agreements, according to Freeman.”
This would definitely involve the US and China. Both countries have no choice because their current economic paradigms are broken.
China’s working-age population is vanishing even as it faces a real estate crisis that has bankrupted its’ financial system. If you take the population numbers of India and China from 1990 and use the official fertility rate to do the math, it says in 2020 India’s population is 1.43 billion and China’s is 890 million. This means China is exaggerating its’ population by over 500 million.
A fear of India may be why the Chinese government just grabbed India by the water jugular. It approved the construction of a 137 billion dollar hydropower project at a huge gorge in the Himalayan reaches where the Brahmaputra river makes a huge U-turn to flow into India and then to Bangladesh. It did not bother to inform these countries about a project that would dwarf any other single infrastructure project on the planet including China’s own Three Gorges Dam, regarded as the largest in the world.

This is a sort of problem that requires a fundamental reset in international relations.
Of course the situation is even worse in the US. This chart here shows, for example, shows the entire US financial system is bankrupt.

Faced with this situation, Donald Trump is making headlines talking about taking over all of North and Central America, starting with Panama and going North to include Greenland and Canada.
What Trump needs to realize though, is that he will have to declare bankruptcy of the US Corporation first. When you go bankrupt, your debt is written off but you lose your credit card. This means the US will have to go cold turkey by doing without the close to 1 trillion dollars worth of stuff it puts on its $250 trillion tab to get from the rest of the world each year. The fact is the United States is NOT going to take over Canada. The United States of North America is going to replace both Canada and the United States Corporation. This means replacing the Octagon Group owners of the Corporation with governments actually representing the people. It is going to involve the temporary nationalization of many of the mega-corporations.
It will also mean nationalizing the Federal Reserve Board. Michael Barr, the Fed’s top banking regulator, has already announced his early resignation so Trump can now pick a replacement. The replacement will end the Fed.
Ending the Fed will also end the now Satanic Roman Catholic Church. Most Catholics have stopped donating because they know Pope Francis has been replaced with a rubber-masked fake who is going against millennia of Church doctrine by doing things like allowing homosexual priests. Take a look at this fake Pope’s stretched mask in the photo below.

Mel Gibson, a devout Christian, says the Pope and the Vatican are surrounded by child molesters. Mel says he believes Pope Francis is covering up or involved in pedophilia now. The Church was instituted by Christ, he says, but it’s not what it purports to be anymore—— he believes what Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò believes…we are witnessing a counterfeit parallel church, which is running an entirely different [evil] religion.
While Gibson was talking about this, his Malibu mansion burned down.
“I was doing the Rogan podcast and I was kind of ill at ease while we were talking because I knew my neighborhood was on fire. So I thought, I wonder if my place is still there. When I got home, sure enough, it wasn’t there … The vehicles were gone and everything. It was completely toasted. I’ve never seen such a complete burn. It’s like someone did it on purpose to really destroy every aspect of it.”
Another person whose house was in the line of fire is Iconic Actor James Woods who says “This is the kind of thing they have tribunals for. Well, they try people and say, you had an oath of office to perform certain duties. When you’re the fire chief, this isn’t a social justice exercise that you’re in charge of.”
To understand Los Angeles is a giant crime scene, consider the following:
The Pacific Palisades Reservoir was completely shut off and emptied just before the fires broke out in the area.

In 2024, over 100 fire hydrants were stolen in Los Angeles. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going on.
https://wabcradio.com/2024/06/04/why-are-thieves-stealing-fire-hydrants-in-la/
There was no water in the fire hydrants at Maui either
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzzoCw3Q5o8
Malibu’s waterfront is mostly gone. Notice the trees are still standing.. just like Lahaina, Maui.
The KM are freaking out because the people have figured out who is responsible.

California’s insurance commissioner has imposed a one-year freeze on insurance policy cancellations in wildfire-hit areas to protect affected residents. This is what is known as closing the barn door after the cow has escaped: the policies were already canceled immediately before the fires started.

Late 2024 SITS Statement about Fulford Reports
These reports are shared as a service for the thousands of people that come to read them. However, I can’t in good conscience not say what I think about them, and I haven’t talked about why I do that in an update for sometime, so here it is.
Julian and I began posting Fulford years ago as one of many sources to consider. As always, just because we post information doesn’t mean we believe it’s true. For years, I posted new sources that I knew were distorted but were nonetheless valuable to be informed about. As ever, disinformation is key information to a well-trained mind.
Julian passed in 2015, and the site changed direction in 2021 when all our income sources were canceled as part of the censorship campaign that took out many content creators. When that happened, I had to make a decision: should I let the site go offline because we can’t pay server costs or do I post Fulford and allow the site to live on, albeit on life support? I decided to do the latter.
It is my opinion that Fulford’s reports have fallen in quality and that while he enjoys celebrity, his efforts aren’t helping to make people more discerning or empower them to be a positive influence in the world. Does that mean his work is useless, worthy of contempt, or that he’s a negative actor? I’m not saying that. I believe that excellence is a ladder, and there are many rungs on that ladder for whomever is ready wherever they are to begin their ascent. No doubt Fulford has his own colorful opinions of me and SITS, which he has the right to have, and I honor that.
Anyone who’s spent time on social media, especially Telegram, can see the legions of bots and other attention-grabbing schemes that cause distractions, disillusionment, and otherwise hamper what I believe to be more productive expenditures of time within the awakening community.
Despite this, and within the spirit of the mission of SITS, I will continue to post his reports until I change my stance. In full disclosure, you know now the reason I do this and the thoughts I have about his reports and their quality and effect.
As ever, you are encouraged to read his material and think what you like. And if you have any opinions for me you’re welcome to share them with me in the comments.
Stillness General Comment on Fulford Reports
I decided to add this general comment to all Fulford reports since I frequently receive the same questions about them.
Commentary:
In response to many questions and comments I receive from people wondering why I share these reports, I offer the following.
Speaking as someone who has been following Fulford’s reports since 2011, reading them should probably be done with a large grain of salt. That is to say, he seems to share information directly from alleged sources within the Pentagon, CIA, White Dragon Society, and so on. Often the data presented is contradictory on the surface.
The predictions and statements Fulford makes sometimes are highly accurate, whereas, in other instances, they are completely unfounded. Instead of looking to Fulford as one who is “tapped into” some greater truth, it would probably be more productive to consider his data as one possible perspective on what is happening on Earth at this time.
This of course extends to all sources of information. Fulford, like all of us, is only human and can make mistakes. But that doesn’t detract from the work he has done to spread awareness and move things forward to a brighter future for humanity.
Discernment is the process of understanding what something is, which in Fulford’s case, means entertaining his reports without believing them blindly, and then doing the follow-up research/fact-checking to determine what actually happened. In this way, it is a real-time discernment exercise.
The fact that so many people continue to read his reports despite their sensational and wildly inaccurate nature at times—while also being accurate and poignant—means the people he receives information from are probably using him as a mouthpiece to speak to you—the reader who is on their awakening path. As such, blind belief or callous rejection are not our allies but critical thinking and open-mindedness are.
As I have said before, if he is serving as a mouthpiece for various groups working to change the status quo or agents within the Cabal, we can decipher the data as if it is a form of awakening propaganda—information that certain players want to expose the masses to. What effect this has on your personal process is largely up to you. But I would suggest taking an active role in discernment and not falling into the trap of total acceptance or rejection.
