The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is waging a PR battle to combat ‘rumors’ and ‘confusion’ about the failures of the Biden-Harris administration to take care of Americans affected by Hurricane Helene.

In a post on X Twitter on Thursday, FEMA said, “There has been a lot of rumors spreading about the #Helene response. Rumors can create confusion & prevent people from getting assistance they need. Help us share accurate information: http://fema.gov/helene-rumors

Hurricane Helene: Rumor Response

Help keep yourself, your family and your community safe after Hurricane Helene by being aware of rumors and scams and sharing official information from trusted sources.

Do your part to the stop the spread of rumors by doing three easy things:

Find trusted sources of information. Share information from trusted sources. Discourage others from sharing information from unverified sources.

Rumors

Rumor: FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance for Helene. Fact: FEMA has enough money right now for immediate response and recovery needs. If you were affected by Helene, do not hesitate to apply for disaster assistance as there is a variety of help available for different needs.

Trust is the coin of the realm.

And Deep State is flat busted.

Hence the need for the propaganda push.

Good grief! FEMA botched the job and their response is the optics? How about fixing your failure with a response to the problems in NC rather than running around whitewashing the how incompetent you look?

In the second Trump Administration, following the trial and conviction of FEMA officials for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemie of the United States, FEMA staff should be given the task of building the gallows to be used to carry out the sentences for these traitors.

The only reason why administration ever has to deal with unwelcome rumors is because administration has failed to communicate with stakeholders. This is true in businesses, in academic organizations, in bureaucracies, etc.

This is yet another, frequently-overlooked, failure of the Biden-Harris administration. Like the Press Gang Boss (played to perfection by the late, great, Strother Martin) said in “Cool Hand Luke,” “What we have here is, failure to communicate!” That failure is ALWAYS on the part of the bosses, not the underlings. As Peter Drucker wrote, “Communication is in the mind of the recipient” and is always the responsibility of the sender.

And we most definitely are considered underlings by this corrupt, evil, and incompetent administration.

Three easy things translation for the naive…

1. Find trusted sources of information. i.e., FEMA
2.Share information from trusted sources. i.e., FEMA
3. Discourage others from sharing information from unverified sources. i.e., any source not FEMA

If most people trusted the federal government, this would not be an issue. Even if there is some real “misinformation” it fits with what people believe about the Feds. Why is that, hmmm?

seriously, I’m expecting a lot of seth rich type incidents to people who openly dissent against the government once Harris/Walz are installed.

Exactly my reaction! You are in the middle of a massive screw up and find time and money to run a PR campaign that says “We are NOT screwing up”?

Exhibit 1 why Harris and Walz should never get power.

We will probably find out half the FEMA staff are at DEI / CRT training.
