TOMORROW. DEC 8. UPDATE for ED WACKERMAN. ALL SEEMS GOOD
Freedom for Ed Wackerman? It seems very very likely.
Here is Ed’s latest message:
ED
I have more positive thoughts now. Emily [prosecutor] talked to Ric [Ed’s lawyer] a little while ago and she said she would make sure everything is in order for Monday court. Everything is moving forward .

Fantastic!!! I sent her about 5 emails with information. And my sense is that hundreds of people are sending prayers and energy.
07 Dec, 2025 01:54:36 / User - $0.25
We each have different strengths. I sent 2 long emails, one several weeks ago, the second the day before Ed;s previous hearing. And during the night before his previous hearing, I sent 3 more short emails, each with information on those against Ed.
And then there are so many of you rooting for Ed, sending prayers and energy, energy and prayers, also forwarding information about him and connecting with other people about him - and also about the unnatural fires, where a cover-up was a big impetus for framing Ed (easy target, disabled old white guy).
Because yes, this is about Ed. And about more. It’s about corruption, like the corrupt people who targeted Ed.
Anyway, here’s what it looks like will happen: From Ed (a resend from a couple of days ago):
ED
Well Elsa, for the first time in nearly 3 year’s, Ric [his lawyer] actually stood up and presented evidence to the judge and Emily [the prosecutor]. The newspaper article and a hard drive. Also, Ric filed a motion for a medical
04 Dec, 2025 12:58:15 / Inmate - $0.25Release because the jail can’t provide me with adequate care. Erica [the nurse at the jail] was talked to yesterday and she agreed. The judge wants it in writing. Ric is getting that today. That’s why the date change.
04 Dec, 2025 01:03:23 / Inmate - $0.25Julie [Ed’s daughter] spoke at the hearing and the judge asked if my cabin was set up for handicap and it is, then she will take care of me 24/7. The judge gave the jail one week to respond, and they are.
04 Dec, 2025 01:08:50 / Inmate - $0.25It all sounds good and is moving forward positive. We will see how things go Monday.
04 Dec, 2025 01:10:18 / Inmate - $0.25
It’s only a day now!!!
May there be freedom for Ed. Ed with Bella leaping into his arms. Ed with his daughter and good neighbors, one of whom came to visit Ed each and every Saturday. Ed sleeping in his own home in his own bed, so many good wishes all around.

ED WACKERMAN, INNOCENT
Ed Wackerman. A retired, seriously disabled widower, 73. Hard of hearing, difficulty walking. Firefighter for 12 years. Warm, caring. Living alone on his homestead with his little dog, Bella. Until June 16, 2023. Arrested for setting a massive fire, the Oak Fire. 6 police officers with guns pointed at him. Huge media coverage. The officer in charge declares that Ed will now be in jail for life, no bail.
WHY CLAIM ED WACKERMAN IS INNOCENT?
ONE. ED COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT, DUE TO PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS.
If he had started the fire, he would have burned to death. Ed walks slowly, with a cane, due to a badly damaged foot. According to a neighbor, it would have taken an Olympic sprinter to outrun the fire.
TWO. ED COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT, BECAUSE HE IS A CARING, LOVING, KIND, HELPFUL PERSON.
His entire life is testimony to that. In fact, the morning of the fire, Ed helped a neighbor whose car had slipped over the edge of the road. Ed brought his tractor to pull it back onto the road. The Oak Fire burned the homes of his neighbors and twice Ed’s home caught fire. He and the friends who took shelter there managed to put out the fires, but everything else on his property burned.
THREE. ED SAW 5 FIREFIGHTERS BURNED TO DEATH WHEN HE WAS A CHILD. HE WOULD NEVER HAVE SET A FIRE. INSTEAD HE BECAME A FIREFIGHTER.
FOUR. ED TELLS THE TRUTH, SOMETHING HE HAS DONE SINCE AGE 7.
Always tell the truth. That is a lesson he learned, age 7. If he had started the fire, he would have admitted it.
FIVE. HE HAS NO MOTIVE.
In fact, his home almost burned. He lost everything else in the fire, and was only able to do some rebuilding through a funding drive (long before he was charged).

NOTHING ELSE IS NEEDED TO SHOW ED’S INNOCENCE.
WE WILL TURN TO: WHO HAS A MOTIVE? IN OTHER WORDS, WHO BENEFITS?
Who has a motive? Whoever - or whichever institutions - are responsible for setting the fire.

NOW, TO MOVE FROM THE CASE OF ED WACKERMAN, TO MUCH LARGER EVENTS
FIRST, AGAIN, THE STORY IN BRIEF OF ED WACKERMAN, INNOCENT.
Ed Wackerman has been in jail since June 2023. No bail. Not even a preliminary hearing until October 30, 2024. Easy to believe: He must have done something major!! In fact, it appears his “crime” was being a “nobody” - living alone in his cabin with his little dog, no family close by, widower, hard of hearing, difficulty walking. He was charged with setting a major California fire - the Oak Fire of 2022. But he could not have set it. No one could have set it. There’s massive evidence - hidden by the mainstream media - that it was an unnatural fire. (Proof available.) But Ed could not even have set a regular fire. He’s seriously disabled - very slow-moving because of major injuries - and he’s accused of setting a fire he could never have outrun. I’ve been told that only an Olympic sprinter could have outrun it.
I got involved because, in January 2024, a friend asked me to. When I did nothing, she asked me again at the beginning of March 2024. So I got in touch with Ed. We have been in touch since then. I’ve also written his lawyer - no response.
From the time of his arrest, I’d say that Ed was tortured - meaning, there was the deliberate infliction of pain. Due to a badly injured foot, he needs a special inlay and brace to even stand without agony. These were taken from him at the time of his arrest, not returned for over a year. When he stood, it took him a minute to be able to endure the pain. He also was taking effective pain medication at the time of his arrest. That was also taken from him. Instead he was given Tylenol by the prison nurse, who is married to the DA in charge of his case until recently. He has spent much of the time since his arrest - 28 months now - bedridden to try to control the pain. Now he is allowed only 2 Tylenol a day, and needs to buy them himself. They do nothing for the pain.
A CLUE ABOUT THOSE WHO GOT ED IMPRISONED
Ed Wackerman has been made to endure non-stop excruciating pain from the time of his arrest. He needs a special inlay and brace, plus a cane, to walk without extreme pain. He also needs special pain medication. The inlay, brace and cane were taken from him upon his arrest. The pain medication was also stopped, and he was instead given Tylenol.
He asked, over and over, for his inlay and brace, plus stronger pain medication. In other words, he made his need known for his inlay, brace and stronger pain medication. No help.
Instead, from the time of his arrest, standing up was agony. He would have to stand for a minute before he could endure the pain of taking a step. He was basically bed-ridden for over 15 months, from his arrest on June 16, 2023 until the end of August 2024.
His inlay and brace were returned to him after a court order at the end of August 2024. His court-appointed lawyer had the inlay and brace all along.
The deliberate infliction of pain is a clue about those who got Ed Wackerman imprisoned.
As the infliction of pain was clearly intentional, whoever made the decision to do this could be sadists who take pleasure in the pain of another, or psychopaths who in this case believed that inflicting the pain would be more likely to get them whatever they wanted. Was it to break Ed’s spirit? Was it to have Ed die?
What is evident is that whoever did this was deliberately doing harm.
Why would they be doing this?
This brings us to what has been happening with California fires, their frequency and the cause for the frequency.
Many people do not want to explore this, so if you don’t, you can stop reading here.
The important thing, for Ed, is that he is innocent and should be cleared and released and also compensated for the harm done to him.
If you want to know more, please keep reading
Between 30 and 10 years ago, a total of 20 years, there were a total of 5 fires, maximum. That is an average of one fire every four years.
Between 10 years ago and 2 years ago, a total of 8 years, there were slightly over 40 fires. Only 3 of them - a maximum of 5 of them - had the signs of a natural fire. In other words, the rate of natural fires appears relatively unchanged. However in addition to the natural fires, there were, in these 8 years, about 37 fires which had anomalies that do not occur in natural fires. That is, there were an average of 5 fires with these anomalies per year.
The fire Ed has been charged with setting has all 10 of these anomalies. In other words, it is almost certainly not a natural fire. Photo evidence is available of all 10 of these anomalies being at the Oak Fire. You can read further here:
truthsummit.substack.com/p/ed-wackermans-lawyer-receives-letter
Who might be doing this?
That is beyond the scope of this inquiry.
Why might Ed be charged?
Initially, the fire was blamed on global warming.
However, the Oak Fire is not the only fire with anomalies where people have been charged. In one, a homeless man was charged and convicted. In another, a shaman who appeared confused and was off the path was charged and convicted.
Why might this be done?
One highly likely reason is that, in this case, it’s case closed. There is no place for questions. “We got our man (or woman)!”
That would explain the huge media coverage, 6 police officers with guns aimed at Ed, the arresting officer declaring Ed guilty and behind bars for life, no bail. It would also explain the delay in a preliminary hearing.
Why the infliction of pain? This is a guess. My guess is that the intent was to break Ed, perhaps have him die. Once again, case closed.

FOR WRITING TO ED
First, a big thank you to those of you who have written to Ed.
And then, detailed instructions on what you can and cannot do.
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
For example, Ed has just been informed that letters have been destroyed where the writer wrote on the back of a page. This is not in accord with the instructions given. The instructions are that, if one writes on the back, whatever is on the back is not scanned. Only one side is scanned. However, in this case, nothing was sent to Ed.
Then, someone sent 2 books and had them returned. It took me half an hour to get the instructions about books. I was told the instructions are on the site. I kept the operator on the phone, to make sure that, with her help, I could find them. It turned out that the instructions are not on the site. However, she had them:
One. Books are to be mailed to the actual detention center (address below).
Two. They must be new soft cover books, mailed either from Amazon or a publisher. Nothing else gets to a prisoner.
