In a private phone call with an anonymous source, Mayor Karen Bass (@MayorOfLA) sought to downplay her trip to Ghana as a brief visit, as criticism mounted: "Just so you know, I'm missing two workdays. That's it. And if President Biden extends me an invitation, I took it,” prioritizing international commitments over immediate local concerns.

Just three days before fires erupted in the Los Angeles area, Bass issued a cryptic message to our source, advising them to "read in between the lines and hold tight… you will understand soon," suggesting she was aware of significant developments that would soon impact the city. Bass also acknowledged the growing dangers surrounding MacArthur Park. "The situation is very dangerous," she said, citing security concerns. She remained adamant in her refusal to hold a press conference, stating, "I will take the criticism before I do a publicity stunt, and frankly, a press conference at this point in time, which would just be publicity." Bass further explained her position, stating, "If I have a choice between that and compromising something, I just have to go along with it. It's not my area of expertise," emphasizing her lack of qualifications to make informed decisions regarding the area.

When the source emphasized the safety concerns of residents and property owners MacArthur Park, noting that "41,000 people live within a square mile here," Bass maintained her stance stating, "But they want to hear that something is going to be done,” making it clear that no action is currently being taken to address security risks.

One complaint... her words are repeated in slightly different context. Lady is shady, but why the edits? Is he going to release the call in its entirety?

DEW? Also implicated Biden. She went to Ghana at his invitation? What in the absolute frick? Was the fire initially started intentionally?

Why didn’t Biden send the State Department or Ambassador to the wedding.

Remember Biden just retired to So Cal and Biden wanted to be sure the Mayor owed him and he was part of the LA political scene and could call in favors.

Biden sending the LA Mayorbin the first place was political corruption with the expectation of quid pro quo.

Hmmph, never underestimate just how ruthless the Leftists are. I would not be surprised in the least if she burnt down LA for the cause of “fundamental change “ and DEI. Sidenote:when is O’Keefe going to Europe and film the gang rape in their streets, and let us all see the dirty truth? Seems the people there are too scared to do it.

Bizarre phone call to have just a few days before the fires. Definitely makes it seem like she knew shite was about to hit the fan in LA.

The source could be in trouble. CA is one of the states that requires notice that the call is being recorded. Unfortunately, the wrong person will probably get in trouble.

Why would anyone go to Ghana if not for some type of payment? She was getting a payday for something

Whistleblower protection may be in play. Karen sounds like she’s talking to an old friend. Prior relationship + government malfeasance can trigger whistleblower protection I would think.
