"Usually, in a disaster situation, it is payday for truckers. We look for that hurricane, we look for that ice storm. (Usually there are tons of generators, earth movers, water pumps, etc. being shipped after a disaster.) THERE ARE NO LOADS ON THE LOAD BOARD COMING WITHIN 125 MILES OF ASHEVILE..."

It is all part of the marxist-democrat plan. Destroy your enemies in any way possible.

Nobody can tell me that hurricane just before the election was a coincidence. They had this all coordinated in advance, otherwise the aid would be pouring in. They all got the memo.

It's the first thing Communist Revolutions do.

“It is all part of the marxist-democrat plan. Destroy your enemies in any way possible.”

It’s infuriating to watch, but it’s true.

Meanwhile, the public slumbers.

We are under attack. North Carolina may as well have been destroyed by an invading force. The outcome is the same. It’s as clear as day.

We have become prisoners of war in our own country and most Americans don’t even realize it. Withholding aid to your enemy who is suffering…

Remember how the media tore into Bush for letting 7 hours elapse before mobilizing the federal response to Katrina? Whereas now the media is in full support-the-regime mode.

They could not coordinate the hurricane, though they would if they could.

They did take advantage of the response. FJB and FKH.

Remember how Walmart had vinyl arrows and social distancing labels on the floor the day after the COVID-1984 lockdown declaration>

This has the same feel. It’s the only way the federal rescue response could be completely absent.

Something else to note is that you can’t GET a semi into a lot of these places to drop aid. Most of the roads have major sections gone or they are damaged to the point they can no longer support the weight. There are lots of bridges that are just plain gone. There aren’t large airports in the stricken area to fly heavy cargo transport aircraft carrying into either, nor is the terrain suitable for mass air drops of supplies by large aircraft. This is why they’ve had that panicked call out for private pilots and their helis and other relatively small aircraft to fly aid in and people out. The biggest thing that can do airdrops or fly in/out in a lot of these places is a DC-3 or C-47, and some people have shown up with those. The biggest helis that can get in to airlift in a lot of places are MD500/OH-6s. The US military doesn’t have a whole lot of small assets like these any more.

The Sherrifs are ready to arrest FEMA gestapo if they try to stop delivery. We need to get into that warehouse where the Gestapo confiscated put the supplies, and blow the door open if necessary

I think the truckers and brokers see that there is something very different going on here, with the missing loads up for hauling bids within a 125 mile radius of Asheville and other areas

Get the stuff close, then use helicopters to go the rest of the way.

A DC3T can easily land with a 12K pound load of supplies into and out of 4000ft. runway even if it was sod.

The private pilots bringing back videos of that area are showing that there’s no way to get loads closer in. There’s actually been an aid convoy or three sitting stalled a bit more than that out because they can’t get closer - not because the government is stopping them but because the roads or bridges are gone or unsafe.

The Blue Ridge Parkway, in fact, is completely impassible and is just *gone* in many places.
