I, Kornelius Kong, a duly sworn law enforcement officer with the International Global Jurisdiction, being first duly sworn, do hereby state the following based on personal knowledge, investigation, and information and belief:

Affidavit Regarding:

Karen Bass - Mayor of Los Angeles
Salary: $250,000 annually
Actions:
Reduced the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) budget by $17.6 million.

Left Los Angeles for Africa during increasing wind and fire warnings.Probable Cause for Potential Violations:
California Penal Code § 452 - Unlawfully Causing a Fire: The budget reduction might be seen as reckless if it directly led to a diminished capacity to respond to the Palisades Fire, potentially causing the fire to grow uncontrolled.

California Penal Code § 192(b) - Involuntary Manslaughter: If the budget cuts contributed to deaths or injuries due to inadequate fire response, this could be considered criminal negligence.

California Civil Code § 1714 - General Negligence: The mayor's absence during a known high-risk period for fires could be viewed as a failure to act with reasonable care, especially if it impacted emergency management.

California Government Code § 51182 - Defensible Space Requirements: Indirectly, by reducing fire department resources, the mayor might have compromised the city's ability to ensure adequate emergency response, including water supply for firefighting.

Kristin Crowley - Chief of LAFD
Salary: $440,000 annually
Actions:
Implemented systemic equity and inclusion within the LAFD.
Donated surplus resources to Ukraine.Probable Cause for Potential Violations:
California Penal Code § 452 - Unlawfully Causing a Fire: The donation of firefighting resources to Ukraine might be considered reckless if local resources were insufficient during the wildfires.

California Penal Code § 192(b) - Involuntary Manslaughter: If the shift in focus towards DEI initiatives or the donation of resources led to an inadequate response to the fire, causing harm or death, this could be negligence.

California Civil Code § 1714 - General Negligence: The decisions on resource allocation might have breached the duty of care expected from the Fire Chief, particularly if these actions compromised the department's effectiveness.

Janisse Quinones - CEO of LADWP
Salary: $750,000
Action:
Allowed fire hydrants to run dry while Pacific Palisades was burning.Probable Cause for Potential Violations:
California Penal Code § 452 - Unlawfully Causing a Fire: The failure to maintain or ensure water supply through hydrants during a fire can be seen as reckless, contributing to the uncontrolled spread of fire.

California Penal Code § 192(b) - Involuntary Manslaughter: If the lack of water in hydrants led to deaths or severe injuries due to the inability to fight the fire effectively, this could be considered criminal negligence.

California Civil Code § 1714 - General Negligence: The oversight or mismanagement of water resources for firefighting represents a significant failure in the duty of care.

California Government Code § 51182 - Defensible Space Requirements: The responsibility to maintain an adequate water supply for firefighting is implicitly linked to ensuring defensible space and emergency response readiness.

Basis for Probable Cause:
Investigation Findings: Statements from witnesses, firefighters, and public records indicating the actions of each official directly impacted the fire response capabilities during the Palisades Fire.

Documents Reviewed: Budget documents, travel schedules, communications, and operational logs from the respective departments.

Interviews: With city officials, firefighters, and residents affected by the fire, highlighting the direct correlation between the officials' decisions and the fire's management.

Conclusion:
Based on the above, there is probable cause to believe that Karen Bass, Kristin Crowley, and Janisse Quinones may have committed acts of negligence, potentially leading to criminal charges under California law. This affidavit supports the request for search warrants and subpoenas to further investigate these matters.
