"Who has the power of natural resources?"

As the California wildfires rage on without proper containment, Human Events Daily Host Jack Posobiec drew parallels between the current catastrophe and the 1947 Jack Nicholson movie Chinatown about the California water wars.

The true story plot of Chinatown was "the manipulation of water resources for profit by a powerful elite," Posobiec explained, much like what he believes to be the case with Southern California.



The host theorized that corporations like Blackrock alongside the Chinese Communist Party have been looking toward Southern California to develop real estate after property values have gone down.

"I tell you one thing, President Trump should issue a moratorium that on disaster-affected areas, you cannot allow these massive private equity firms or foreign entities to come in and purchase these distressed properties," Posobiec said, pointing to the Palisades affected by the fires, East Tennessee effected by Hurricane Helene, and Maui also destroyed by fires in 2023.

The host called the situation "obvious," adding, "This is what it all comes down to, ladies and gentlemen, water and power. Who has the power of natural resources?"
