FEMA is allegedly turning away volunteers bringing supplies.
Here’s a bit more from the article.....
Transportation failure Pete Buttgiggles banned civilian drones from flying over the carnage.
A helicopter pilot volunteer claims he flew a woman to safety and he was told he would be arrested if he went back to the woman’s home to retrieve his son, whom he left there to save the woman.
A volunteer claims he learned the hard way that FEMA is denying donated supplies as it has a “preferred vendor” list. In other words, there is money to be made on the relief efforts, and Uncle Sam wants his cut.
“The Hurricane Relief-Industrial complex is getting people killed.”
That is the agenda. To kill off people.
Kevin rocks it on Live From Studio 6B. By the way, Red Cross contributors...you should see the fine cars they are driving around in at the Flood Zone...some fine cars. At Walgreen’s in my area, they try to shake you down for contributions. I really felt sorry for the clerk as we approached the register, because she was about to ask two ‘Zoners’ for Red Cross contributions. Yours truly, who lost his residence and ALL of my meager possessions, and a woman from the Spruce Pine, NC area with her three children...she was on the Tennessee side TRYING to find a hotel room to get some sleep. My response? “Not only ‘no’, but HELL NO!” The woman from Spruce Pine was not as genteel; especially when she heard that hotels were booked solid because they were full of FEMA workers, and others ‘here to help’. Well...we all remember what Ronald Reagan said, don’t we?
Based on my experience after Hurricane Ian I am calling BS on some of the Ryan Tyre link. I can imagine FEMA was bad, but I’m not buying that Florida stood by helplessly and allowed FEMA to prevent aid from getting in. I can’t imagine Florida allowing FEMA to run the show. Right after Ian Florida and Lee County restricted who went onto the destroyed barrier islands, but that was to insure that the search and rescue effort was not hampered. Florida got the bridge to Sannibel Island open in less than a week. That’s not a state that allows FEMA to hold them hostage and delay them.
Do I believe that FEMA has preferred vendors? You bet I do.
Circa 1965 Hurricane Betsy hit us in South Louisiana, sustained winds of 125 mph and higher gusts. I was in Larose, Louisiana, which the eye passed over. Destruction was massive. When the eye passed over neighbors came to our house for protection as we were still standing. My grandfather and my family built the house and I thought he was crazy due to the all the extra bracing he built into the structure, he was wise. Our home stood as many were destroyed.
It was most odd when the eye came over. I went outside and there was just a gentle breeze as opposed to the prior horrific winds. I could look at the sky and see stars. The winds came back with equal force an hour later.
We had little help post hurricane. Oddly we did not need much as the community helped each other as they could. In South Louisiana we know how to survive. The big thing was electricity. Our Freezer with a couple of hundred pounds of meat was defrosting. I took all of this to those that needed it as otherwise it would go bad. I gave a lot of steaks and roasts and hamburger away.
South Louisiana people know how to survive. I came from Texas and now live again in Texas but grew up in the swamps of Lafourche Parish South Louisiana. The swamp was a paradise for a young kid to fish and hunt. The swamp can also kill you if you do not understand it. I loved the swamp.
