The following feature on the 10 most significant motorcycles of the last 50 years first appeared in the March issue of Rider as part of our new “Rider Rewind” feature‚ a monthly tribute to various aspects of either motorcycling history or the 50-year history of the magazine. During Rider’s 50‑year history‚ we’ve announced‚ featured‚ tested‚ and toured on thousands of motorcycles. We’ve covered a wide spectrum that includes pretty much anything with a license plate: cruisers‚ tourers (sport/luxury/traditional)‚ sportbikes‚ standards‚ adventure bikes‚ dual‑sports‚ cafe racers‚ classics‚ scooters‚ trikes‚ electric bikes‚ and some that defy easy categorization. Here are 10 significant motorcycles that changed the course of two-wheeled history. No. 1. 1975 Honda GL1000 Gold Wing We’ve got a soft spot for the Gold Wing because it was introduced soon after Rider got started. With its driveshaft and liquid‑cooled engine‚ the Wing has evolved over the past 49 years from a naked high‑performance machine to a luxury tourer‚ from four cylinders to six‚ and from a displacement of 1‚000cc to 1‚833cc. Its first dresser version all but killed the aftermarket for fairings and saddlebags‚ and later versions introduced the first motorcycle airbag and were available with Honda’s automatic Dual Clutch Transmission. Honda Gold Wing Timeline: 1972-2018 No. 2. 1981 BMW R 80 G/S The R 80 G/S was the first motorcycle that delivered on‑road comfort and performance and genuine off‑road capability in equal measure‚ and its air‑cooled “boxer” flat‑Twin and driveshaft could be traced back to BMW’s first production motorcycle‚ the 1923R 32. Between 1981 and 1985‚ the G/S (the slash was later dropped) notched four wins in the grueling Paris‑Dakar Rally. After launching the adventure bike revolution and becoming BMW’s bestselling model‚ the completely new R 1300 GS was unveiled on BMW Motorrad’s 100th anniversary. 2024 BMW R 1300 GS Review | First Ride No. 3. 1984 Harley‑Davidson FXST Softail In 1983‚ Harley‑Davidson was in deep trouble. Its old Shovelhead motor had run its course‚ so the MoCo introduced a new 80ci Evolution motor‚ an air‑cooled‚ 45‑degree V‑Twin with aluminum heads and numerous improvements. It was offered in several ’84 models‚ including the new custom‑look Softail‚ which appeared to have a classic hardtail frame but concealed dual shock absorbers under its engine. That Evo motor helped save the company‚ and the Softail was a huge success‚ paving the way for the Harley‑Davidson juggernaut of the ’90s and beyond. See all of Rider‘s Harley-Davidson coverage here. No. 4. 1986 Suzuki GSX‑R750 Before the Gixxer appeared‚ a “sportbike” was a standard motorcycle to which the owner had added engine mods‚ a lower handlebar‚ and suspension and braking upgrades‚ all in an exhaustive and expensive effort to improve power and handling. With its oil‑cooled inline‑Four and aluminum frame‚ the lightweight GSX‑R750 was track‑ready right out of the box. The GSX‑R launched the sportbike wars among the Japanese Big Four‚ and 600cc‚ 750cc‚ and 1‚000cc models sold like hotcakes and won numerous championships. See all of Rider‘s Suzuki coverage here. No. 5. 1987 Kawasaki KLR650 When it punched its KLR600 dual‑sport out to 650cc for 1987‚ Kawasaki struck a near‑perfect balance between on‑road comfort and off‑road capability‚ and it went on to sell a boatload of KLR650s without making significant changes for decades. A true do‑it‑all‚ go‑anywhere machine that was both affordable and bulletproof‚ the KLR became a popular choice for round‑the‑world travelers and helped launch an ADV aftermarket cottage industry. It got its first major update in 2008‚ and fuel injection finally arrived in 2022. Requiem for the Kawasaki KLR650 (1987-2018) No. 6. 1990 Honda ST1100 By 1989‚ sport‑tourers were either a low‑buck Kawasaki Concours or a high‑dollar BMW‚ both of which had been adapted from other models. In 1990‚ Honda made the bold move of introducing a purpose‑built sport‑tourer with a full fairing‚ integrated bodywork‚ removable saddlebags‚ and shaft drive. Its liquid‑cooled‚ longitudinal V‑Four was designed specifically for this model‚ which was known for its plush suspension‚ comfortable seat‚ and huge 7.4‑gallon tank. The ST1100 was a big hit and helped establish the open‑class sport‑touring segment. Retrospective: 1990-2002 Honda ST1100 No. 7. 1993 Ducati M900 “Monster” Known for exotic‚ sophisticated motorcycles that win races and steal hearts‚ one of Ducati’s most endearing and enduring models is the Monster. Embracing simplicity‚ designer Miguel Galluzzi said‚ “All you need is a saddle‚ tank‚ engine‚ two wheels‚ and handlebars.” The M900 (nicknamed “Monster”) had a steel trellis frame‚ an air‑cooled 904cc L‑Twin‚ a “bison‑back” gas tank‚ a tubular handlebar‚ and a round headlight. An instant hit‚ it spawned numerous Monster models and came to define what a naked bike should look like. See all of Rider‘s Ducati coverage here. No. 8. 2001 Triumph Bonneville Few motorcycles are as iconic as the Triumph Bonneville. First introduced in 1959 and named after the famous Utah salt flats where Triumph set a world record‚ the Bonneville was advertised as “the fastest production motorcycle made” and became hugely popular in the U.K. and America. After Triumph went bankrupt in the early ’80s‚ the marque was resurrected by John Bloor and relaunched in the mid ’90s. But it wasn’t until 2001 that a modern Bonneville was born‚ offering a perfect blend of retro style and modern engineering. See all of Rider‘s Triumph coverage here. No. 9. 2001 Yamaha FZ1 The FZ1 offered liter‑class sportbike performance in a comfortable‚ street‑friendly package that could be used for commuting‚ canyon carving‚ sport‑touring‚ or trackdays. Derived from the mighty YZF‑R1‚ its 998cc inline‑Four was retuned for midrange torque but still made 120 hp at the rear wheel. The FZ1 paved the way for powerful‚ practical sit‑up sportbikes such as the Aprilia Tuono‚ BMW S 1000 RR‚ and KTM Super Duke. The 2006 FZ1 (pictured) was our Motorcycle of the Year‚ and its spirit lives on in Yamaha’s MT‑10. See all of Rider‘s Yamaha coverage here. No. 10. 2014 KTM 1190 Adventure Derived from its Dakar Rally‑winning LC8 950R‚ KTM’s 950/990 Adventure models were the most dirt‑oriented big ADVs on the market from 2003‑2013. In 2014‚ KTM launched the 1190 Adventure‚ which offered sportbike levels of street performance while still being highly capable in the dirt. Its LC8 V‑Twin cranked out 150 hp‚ and its state‑of‑the‑art electronics included not only ride modes‚ traction control‚ and electronic suspension but also the world’s first cornering ABS system‚ ushering in the current era of high‑tech ADVs.

I keep warning you: the Banking Crisis is NOT over. We saw six banks go under last year in 2023 and many people thought that was the end. My opinion is it was only the prelude…the warm up act. We’ve reported on New York Community Bank a few weeks ago‚ but things just went from bad to worse. The stock just plunged another 30%‚ their CEO is gone‚ and losses were revised UP from $252 million to $2.7 billion. Remember how I told you just yesterday that they always “revise” the data after the fact?  They just did it again. Here’s the latest: BREAKINGNew York Community Bank‚ $NYCB‚ falls ~20% after disclosing “material weakness of internal controls” This is the bank that acquired the collapsed Signature Bank. Bank Crisis II on the way… pic.twitter.com/BbFTGqQoqv — Radar (@RadarHits) March 1‚ 2024 NYCB crashes again. Just like NYCB‚ think of all the banks with toxic assets. It’s all coming down.

That is one UGLY chart: JUST IN: New York Community Bank $NYCB crashes 20% in after hours trading citing “material weakness in internal controls.” Another one bites the dust pic.twitter.com/dSw1UPbiru — Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) February 29‚ 2024 The NY Post reports the crash is closer to 30% than 20%: New York Community Bancorp sent its shares plummeting as much as 28% in premarket trading Friday after the regional lender said has discovered “material weaknesses” in the ways it tracks loan risks and that its CEO is leaving. The New York-based firm announced late Thursday that CEO Thomas Cangemi would be leaving NYCB — capping off a 27-year tenure at NYCB — and that Alessandro DiNello would take his place‚ effective immediately. DiNello‚ NYCB’s executive chairman‚ had been acting as the bank’s true boss since earlier this month‚ according to Yahoo Finance. In the weeks leading up to his departure‚ Cangemi had been reporting to DiNello‚ even changing its bylaws to make it happen. New York Community Bancorp amended its fourth-quarter losses to $2.7 billion on Thursday when it separately announced a CEO change. The moves sent shares falling as much as 28% in premarket trading Friday. One NYCB director‚ Hanif “Wally” Dahya‚ said in a Feb. 25 letter that he “did not support the proposed appointment” of DiNello as CEO without saying why‚ according to Yahoo. Dahya‚ who had been presiding director‚ also resigned from the board on Thursday. U.S. stocks smashed a new record high last week‚ but the rally may not last for long thanks to heightened risks that the economy returns to a 1970s-style stagflation scenario. US heading to 1970s-style stagflation‚ JPMorgan Chase strategists warn Jamie Dimon‚ Jane Fraser and Wall Street sign Bank CEOs celebrate pay raises while junior bankers face another year of stingy bonuses He was replaced by Marshall Lux‚ who initially joined NYCB’s board in early 2022‚ works as a senior partner at Boston Consulting Group‚ and previously served as global chief risk officer for Chase Consumer Bank at JP Morgan from 2007 to 2009‚ according to a press release on the leadership changes. Separately on Thursday‚ the bank — among the top 30 in the US — amended its fourth-quarter losses from $252 million to $2.7 billion and divulged “internal control issues.” “As part of management’s assessment of the Company’s internal controls‚ management identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls related to internal loan review‚ resulting from ineffective oversight‚ risk assessment‚ and monitoring activities‚” the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Now watch this as Bloomberg tells you exactly what I’ve been saying all along.  This is NOT an isolated issue and it’s about to get much worse. Here is Guggenheim Securities Co-Chairman Jim Millstein says that the bank failures we’ve see are from idiosyncratic issues: With shares of NYCB falling‚ Guggenheim Securities Co-Chairman Jim Millstein says that the bank failures we’ve see are from idiosyncratic issues https://t.co/larVpxp7na pic.twitter.com/DdsR0rfMaX — Bloomberg TV (@BloombergTV) March 1‚ 2024 Now I want to address something I hear people say sometimes on this topic… Oh‚ it’s just a small regional bank‚ no big deal! Not true! In fact‚ this is a TOP 30 U.S. Bank. Take a look at this: BREAKING: The “BRICS” Just Doubled Overnight FACT-CHECK: New York Community Bank (NYCB) Is a Top 30 U.S. Bank! We've been actively reporting on the crash of New York Community Bank‚ which has plunged roughly 60% over the past week and it looks on track to either be merged‚ taken over‚ or outright fail. Earlier today Moody's downgraded them to "Junk Status" and you don't need to be a financial expert to understand that's not good! But I wanted to comment on something to put this into what I feel is the right perspective. I've seen some people try to write this off as just one small bank failing and not a big deal.  Even as 5 U.S. banks failed last year and now we already have one teetering on the edge in 2024‚ it's easy to say it's no big deal because it's just some small‚ regional bank that no one has heard of. Except....that's not really true. NYCB is actually the 29th largest bank in the USA: When I first heard that it really shocked me. Here's more.... Of the  five banks that failed it 2023‚ three were LARGER than New York Community Bank: Silicon Valley Bank (SVB): SVB was the 16th largest bank in the USA at the time of its failure‚ with $209 billion in assets. This placed it just outside of the top 15 banks in the country. Signature Bank: Signature Bank was the 29th largest bank in the USA at the time of its failure‚ with $110 billion in assets. It was one of the larger banks to fail in 2023‚ and its failure had a significant impact on the banking sector. First Republic Bank: First Republic Bank was the 14th largest bank in the USA at the time of its failure‚ with $229 billion in assets. This placed it in the upper half of the top 30 banks in the country‚ making its failure particularly noteworthy. Heartland Tri-State Bank: Heartland Tri-State Bank was not among the top 30 banks in the USA at the time of its failure. However‚ its failure still contributed to the overall increase in bank failures in 2023. Bank of the West: Bank of the West was not among the top 30 banks in the USA at the time of its failure. Like Heartland Tri-State Bank‚ its failure added to the growing number of bank failures in 2023. So if you think this is just some isolated incident of some small bank that was ran poorly or mismanaged‚ I would push back on that and say this looks much larger‚ and much more systemic than that. And that's scary. So....what can YOU do about it? I've been telling you for a while now‚ and perhaps this is the "sign" you need to finally take action! First‚ you need to watch what the big boys are doing and understand it's smart to ride their coattails. And what are the big boys doing? Stockpiling as much Gold as they can get their grubby hands on: BREAKING: The “BRICS” Just Doubled Overnight Now‚ here's my preferred solution for owning gold.... Why preferred? A couple reasons.... I'm not a CPA or tax advisor or even an investment advisor of any kind‚ but the folks I'm about to tell you about are experts at this. They're patriots... They'll give you personalized‚ one-on-one attention by phone.... And they'll show you how you can do this with NO MONEY OUT OF POCKET -- all in a retirement account and usually tax free! How's that for a win-win-win? So what can you do? THIS!  Here's Why Central Banks Are Buying All the Gold They Can -- And What YOU Can Do! For the last two years‚ central banks across the globe have been buying up as much gold (and often silver) as they can acquire without raising alarm bells. Now‚ we see why. The recent bank runs and ongoing collapse of the U.S. banking system was anticipated by the "elites" and the central bankers who run things behind the scenes. They saw it coming and knew the best way to protect their assets was through physical precious metals. If you've been waiting for me to bring you a solution about what YOU can do to protect yourself and you're family‚ I'm happy to introduce you to something I absolutely love! Precious metals. I just talked about precious metals this week with Bo Polny and now I'm bringing you a solution that you can utilize right away if you're so inclined... A faith-driven‚ conservative precious metals company is currently helping Americans tap into the rising precious metals market through self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals. And while this service is not unique to Genesis‚ their adherence to Biblical stewardship of money makes them singularly qualified to receive a sponsored recommendation from this site. Unlike most companies offering similar services‚ Genesis deals only with physical precious metals. They do not offer "virtual" or "paper" gold or silver. With Genesis and their depositories‚ customers can see and touch the precious metals that back their retirement accounts. When it comes time to take distributions‚ Genesis customers can cash in some or all of their precious metals or have them delivered to their door. Central bankers aren't slowing down. In fact‚ nations like China and even U.S. states like Tennessee are quickly but quietly buying up gold to back their own treasuries. When the writing on the wall is this clear‚ it's understandable why these governments are moving quickly to get ahead of any potential economic catastrophes in store. Working with Genesis is the best way our readers can explore the physical precious metals market through self-directed IRAs. It benefits us as well when our readers work with this America-First company. Visit genesiswlt.com or call 866-292-0443 today. Don't wait too long‚ we might have more bank failures right around the corner. You know what has NEVER "failed"? Gold.  Precious metals.  Indestructible. There's a reason they call it "God's money". Watch this for more: Or....I guess you could buy Gold at Costco? If you can find any? Oh‚ and you'll pay a huge markup and you'll be limited to two bars. A “Gold Rush” Hits Costco With Demand For Gold Bars – Here’s One Way To Own Gold if Your Money Is In a Retirement Account The demand for physical precious metals has been rising since before the pandemic.  Central banks have been buying ton after ton for two years. Even some U.S. states -- like Tennessee -- are filling their coffers with physical precious metals. Now‚ Costco is offering gold bars to their members -- and some observers are saying there is a "gold rush" on Costco's gold: Mike Cernovich reported: "People buying them but bars sold out fast. One disappointed customer had paid but the membership pick-up said it was out." Others had no idea Costco sold gold: Buying gold at Costco is great for those who have extra cash on hand -- but what about those of us with money tied up in retirement accounts? Can we rollover or transfer retirement accounts into physical precious metals and keep it tax-deferred? Genesis Gold Group says "Yes!" Genesis Gold Group specializes in self-directed IRAs backed by gold and silver. As a Christian company‚ they believe this is an appropriate form of financial stewardship that puts Americans' money on the fiscal high ground. This isn't "paper" or "virtual" gold or silver; Genesis Gold Group customers can physically see their precious metals at their convenience. And when it comes time to take a disbursement‚ they can convert to cash or have their precious metals shipped directly to their homes. Click here to reach out today through genesiswlt.com. Genesis Gold Group was given 5 stars by reviewers on the Better Business Bureau website. Here is what some of them say: "Genesis Gold Group has been very helpful to me as a first time customer. They were very patient with me and answered every question I had. The process of moving my funds from my former account to Genesis Gold Group was straightforward and easy. I highly recommend their services.” — Brian B. "Recently‚ I had two experiences with Genesis Gold Group and both were very easy transactions. My agent was very knowledgeable and informative about the products that I was interested in. I suggest that for anyone looking to move their retirement into tangible materials‚ Genesis Gold Group is the company to choose.” — Joyce R. "Genesis Gold Group is a wonderful company to do business with. The staff are knowledgeable‚ courteous‚ and patient. They know I’ve had many questions before‚ during‚ and even after opening my Self-Directed IRA and everyone has been very kind and open. Start your Gold IRA with Genesis Gold Group without reservation!” — Gerald C. To work with Genesis Gold Group to own precious metals via your retirement accounts‚ click here to reach out today. Oh‚ and did you know SUPERMAN loves them too? Yup! Here is what conservative star Dean Cain (Superman) says about working with Genesis Gold Group: When Genesis Gold Group was first built‚ co-founder Jonathan Rose knew two things were necessary in order to thrive in the extremely competitive precious metals industry. First‚ he knew they wouldn't repeat the same deceptive marketing tactics "Big Gold" companies use to entice customers. Second‚ he knew they needed spiritual guidance if they were going to succeed in reaching Americans who want their life's savings protected from the tumultuous markets. "If we are going to live up to our namesake‚ we have to be truly driven by Biblical principles... not only as individuals but as a company‚" Rose said. Millions of Americans have grown increasingly concerned about the trajectory of our nation. It made sense for Genesis Gold Group to launch by combining over 50-years of experience in gold and silver with proper guidance from faith leaders. This is why Director of Philanthropy David Holland‚ was one of the first people they hired. "As a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ‚ I firmly believe good stewardship of a believer’s resources is important and a foundation for a close walk with Him‚" Holland said. "It is not difficult to see‚ based on the lack of biblical values in both our government and financial system‚ that we are swiftly heading into unstable times." The challenges aren't just coming from the economy or government. The precious metals industry itself is rife with "Big Gold" companies who are willing to use sketchy marketing tactics and over-the-top sales pressure to get Americans into overpriced products. Self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals are becoming more popular for mature Americans who are concerned about inflation‚ unsustainable debt‚ the ongoing banking crisis‚ and "woke" ESG funds filling their retirement portfolios. Click here to reach out to Genesis Gold Group today. The challenge‚ as Rose noted‚ is that the vast majority of self-directed IRA products being pushed by "Big Gold" are not built with the customers' best interests in mind. "The process appears to be the same from one gold company to another but there's a huge gap between how secular gold companies do business versus how we do it‚" Rose said. "We guide our clients to back their retirement accounts with metals that are priced right and have the greatest opportunity for growth. Most gold companies look only at their own margins when filling their customers' depositories." ==>;Click here to contact Genesis Gold Group today and receive a free Definitive Gold Guide and learn more about protecting your life's savings from the various threats we're facing today.

Out of the heart‚ the mouth speaks. That’s a wise bit of wisdom‚ and it’s also straight out of Luke 6:45: “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart‚ and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” Why am I bringing that up? Because it’s funny how your mouth will sometimes say things you didn’t even intend to say.  That’s what this verse means. Sometimes these things just boil up and burst out when you least expect them. And that problem is especially bad when you are old and senile and have dementia. That’s what I believe just happened to Joe Biden‚ much as many prophets have claimed would start to happen. He’d start to admit things on live TV that are so stunning you have to pause and watch it again to make sure you really heard what you thought you heard. The latest one is absolutely stunning…. Perhaps there’s some other explanation for this‚ but it seems to me like Joe Biden just confirmed another one of those crazy “conspiracy theories”. Time to move it from “conspiracy theory” over into “conspiracy truth”. The “conspiracy truth” bucket is overflowing at this point! We were right all along on so many different things‚ it’s astonishing… In case you’re not familiar with it‚ after Maui burned to the ground‚ people started noticing some very strange things‚ the strangest of all was the houses with BLUE roofs were not burned.  They weren’t even touched!  So the reasonable conclusion was that whatever DEW (Directed Energy Weapon) was aimed at Maui is programmed such that it doesn’t burn the color blue. Sounds wacky‚ except that’s what the evidence showed. And now with that in mind listen to this video of Joe Biden from yesterday and tell me if he just confirmed it: Ummmm‚ did Joe Biden just confirm Maui was hit by DEW strikes? pic.twitter.com/YtKDVv2fDM — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) March 1‚ 2024 Backup here: Did he just admit DEWs don’t affect your home if the roof is painted blue? pic.twitter.com/jGNqDpvXlY — The Daily 1⃣7⃣ (@Bobbyzee2020) February 29‚ 2024 More here: I actually had to take a step back and think for a minute when I just heard this. This is shocking. When we say Joe is the greatest red pill in the whole movement‚ we aren’t kidding. Are we to believe he is so dumb he accidentally told the truth? Or.. Are white hats… pic.twitter.com/iE7tyW7F7D — Joe Rambo (@BrainStorm_Joe) February 29‚ 2024 I can’t wait to see how they try and “spin” this one….. I’m sure that Black Lesbian lady will come up with a real doozy of a story to explain what the “right roof” actually means in terms of a supposed “wild fire”. They lie as easily as you and I breath….except sometimes “out of the heart‚ the mouth speaks”.

That’s saying a lot‚ because she is not exactly reserved or held back on the air. Wendy Bell is a truth-teller and we’re big fans of her radio show and her Newsmax show. A 30-year news anchor veteran‚ Wendy knows the news business and she knows when a story doesn’t make sense. But she doesn’t follow the MSM Talking Points and she refuses to be told what she can and can’t say on the air. It’s why we love her and why so many of you do too. She recently did what she does best‚ going live on the air and exposing all the things about the “Maui Story” that just don’t make sense. We’ve covered a lot of them here‚ but it’s really incredible to hear them all together in one clip. You need to see this…. Watch here: Right….”just coincidences” — all of them! Don’t ever change Wendy‚ keep on speaking the truth! And a big thank you to Newsmax for letting her speak freely and HONESTLY! Imagine that‚ honest reporting…what a concept! Only a few decades ago‚ journalists were known for seeking out and exposing truth. Woodward and Bernstein. Now they’ll nothing more than talking heads pushing the Cabal Agenda. What happened? But there’s still some good ones out there‚ and Wendy Bell is one of them! We hope to be in that club as well. We’ve covered the Maui Story from Day 1. Here’s one of our prior reports: JUST IN: Maui Police Chief Also Served As “Incident Commander” During Las Vegas Mass Shooting I want to be very clear at the onset of this article — I am not saying the Maui Police Chief is in any way complicit in what happened in Lahaina Town. I’m just saying‚ what are the odds? This guy sure does have some bad luck‚ eh? Kind of reminds me of the Clintons and how their so-called “Clinton Kill List”. Talk about your bad luck‚ having almost 100 of your close friends or business associates all die under strange circumstances! This isn’t quite that bad‚ but imagine being the “Incident Commander” for the Mass Shooting “Incident” that hit Las Vegas in 2017. I’d say that would qualify as an “Incident”….how about you? Now you move to Maui and you preside over Lahaina Town being LASER BEAMED off the face of the Earth! Sorry‚ I need to correct that: what is the word I’m supposed to use? Ah yes‚ “wildfire”. Imagine moving to Maui and presiding over the Maui “wildfire”. Hell of a bad streak of luck! Million to one shot doc: But it’s really no laughing matter. Not at all. I guess I can put it a different way and ask you this: with that kind of history‚ if this man suddenly shows up in some position in your home town‚ are you moving the very next day? Just asking…. Take a look at this: Anyone recognize this man? Maui Police Chief John Pelletier was also incident commander for the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. They’ll tell you this is just a coincidence. pic.twitter.com/paI4Qu0ph6 — TaraBull (@TaraBull808) August 14‚ 2023 Just a terrible coincidence‚ I am sure: MAUI!Maui Chief of Police John Pelletier has a top clearance with the FBI‚ was involved in ethics complaints &; investigated in Maui‚ &; worked in Las Vegas leading the command during the active shooter in 2017 that left 58 dead! -Many reports/concerns coming out of Maui from… pic.twitter.com/NO63GVplex — Heather Mullins (@TalkMullins) August 14‚ 2023 Stew Peters says it much more direct than I am saying it… He’s calling it out point blank: Maui Police Chief John Pelletier Was Las Vegas Mass Shooting Commander. We are watching a movie. John Pelletier is an actor. pic.twitter.com/TU3mD7oATK — Stew Peters (@realstewpeters) August 14‚ 2023 From MauiNow in 2021: Maui’s new police Chief‚ John Pelletier gets sworn in today alongside Deputy Chief Charles Hank III. Pelletier already laid out budget priority requests‚ which include the establishment of a dedicated civilian recruiter; creation of a part time cold case team; and creation of a patrol K-9 program. Pelletier has served the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for the past 22 years in numerous capacities. He oversaw the K-9 and SWAT units and served as commander of the Convention Center Area Command‚ which is responsible for the Las Vegas “strip.” In 2017‚ Pelletier notably served as the incident commander for the One October mass casualty event in Las Vegas. His Deputy Chief selection‚ Hank‚ was also part of the command for the incident and provided after-action presentations across the country on preventing‚ responding to‚ and mitigating similar active shooter events. Look‚ I just report the news‚ I leave it to you to respond to it. So tell me what you think? More here: EXCLUSIVE: Stew Peters and Alex Jones Discuss The Maui Fires Two of the best and most fearless out there‚ Stew Peters and Alex Jones‚ just teamed up for a full hour to break down the Maui fires. Note: I refuse to call them “wildfires”. Not doing it. There does not appear to be anything “wild” or “natural” about these. We don’t know the full truth yet‚ but I think we know what they ARE NOT and that is naturally occurring “wildfires”. So stop with that nonsense. And for the rest of it‚ I’m going to let these two guys take it away. Absolutely FASCINATING to listen to both of them‚ I know you’re going to love it.

This represents a massive red flag‚ not just to myself‚ but to most Americans. One would think that a full investigation and recalibration of the emergency system would be a top priority for Hawaiian officials. Of course‚ you already have a sneaking suspicion that this is not the case. … According to Hawaiian officials‚ the planned test of the emergency system will not commence as scheduled‚ Why you ask? Because the officials want to observe a worldwide moment of silence for the victims of the tragic Maui wildfires. … Let that sink in for a second. … The very same people who couldn’t sound the sirens in the first place are now neglecting testing and calibration of that same siren system because they want to ‘observe’ a moment of silence for those killed by their ineptitude. The Hawaiian Emergency Management Agency recently announced via X: “The monthly test of the all-hazard Statewide Outdoor Warning Siren System has been canceled. The test was scheduled for Friday‚ Sept. 1‚ at 11:45 a.m. However‚ that was within minutes of a planned moment of prayer and remembrance for those killed or missing in the Maui fires. Out of concern and recognition that sounding the sirens at the scheduled time could disrupt the observance and cause distress‚ the Hawai‘i Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) will not conduct the September siren test.” Out of concern and recognition that sounding the sirens at the scheduled time could disrupt the observance and cause distress‚ the Hawai‘i Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) will not conduct the September siren test. 2/3 https://t.co/P9iOqSw7i9 — Hawaii EMA (@Hawaii_EMA) August 29‚ 2023 The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency issued this full letter explaining the decision: The monthly test of the all-hazard Statewide Outdoor Warning Siren System has been canceled for September 2023. The test had been scheduled for Friday‚ September 1‚ 2023‚ at 11:45 a.m. However‚ that time and date are within 15 minutes of a planned moment of worldwide prayer and remembrance for those killed or missing in the Maui wildfires. Out of concern and recognition that sounding the sirens could disrupt the observance and cause distress‚ the Hawai‘i Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) will not conduct the September siren test. Maintenance and repair work on the siren system will continue as usual‚ and the next siren test will be conducted on the regularly scheduled date‚ Monday‚ Oct. 2‚ 2023. The regularly scheduled test of the Live Audio Broadcast segment of the Emergency Alert System will be conducted as usual‚ as required by the Federal Communications Commission. The Live Audio Broadcast test is normally conducted at roughly the same time as the monthly siren sounding‚ in cooperation with the Hawai‘i broadcast industry. There will be no exercise or drill accompanying the broadcast test. Concerned citizens were quick to point out the lack of common sense surrounding the postponement of the planned siren tests. This makes ABSOLUTE NO sense- canceling siren test out of respect to those who could’ve been saved? #MauiFire #Maui #DemocratLogic @Maui @MauiLFG @StarAdvertiser https://t.co/ANKCANdXx3 — GoAskAlice (@ArtistMuse1963) August 29‚ 2023 https://twitter.com/Lori808Anne/status/1696366693457723412 After the Maui wildfires‚ the State of Hawaii will not be conducting the monthly siren test on September 1st as scheduled at 11:45 a.m. Seems like it would be even more urgent‚ but it’s not my call. — 𝗔 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 (@ABetterWay2024) August 29‚ 2023 KITV 4‚ a local ABC affiliate‚ provided this statement from former Mayor Harry Kim: “The siren is a stimulus of attention‚ alert that responds to‚ in regards to what we do and we should listen to local authorities and the media‚ whatever that needs for you to know what the instructions are. And the sirens only reflect that‚” said Harry Kim‚ former Big Island Mayor and former head of Hawai’i County Civil Defense.

The Centers for Disease Control released new guidelines Friday instructing Americans stricken with COVID to remain home only when experiencing symptoms. From The New York Times: Americans with Covid or other respiratory infections need not isolate for five days before returning to work or school‚ the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday‚ a striking sign of changing attitudes toward the coronavirus. People with respiratory illnesses may resume daily activities if they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the aid of medications and if their symptoms are improving‚ agency officials said.  Acknowledging that people can be contagious even without symptoms‚ the C.D.C. urged those who end isolation to limit close contact with others‚ wear well-fitted masks‚ improve indoor air quality and practice good hygiene‚ like washing hands and covering coughs and sneezes‚ for five days. The guidelines apply to Covid‚ influenza and respiratory syncytial virus‚ among other respiratory ailments‚ which should make it easier for people to comply‚ Dr. Mandy Cohen‚ the C.D.C.’s director‚ told reporters on Friday. “Our goal here is to continue to protect those at risk for severe illness‚ while also reassuring folks that these recommendations are simple‚ clear‚ easy to understand and can be followed‚” she said. Dr. Cohen noted the sharp decreases in the numbers of Covid-related hospitalizations and deaths this winter compared with those in previous years‚ and said a vast majority of hospitalizations had occurred among Americans who did not receive the latest shots.
