The Government's Failure to Help After Helene Goes Far Beyond What the Media Is Willing to Tell You
Red State ^ | October 04, 2024 | Brandon Morse

Posted on 10/06/2024 4:05:12 AM PDT by george76

Another day, another batch of news coming from the people that demonstrates just how much the government has failed the people, especially the victims of Hurricane Helene.

Amid the heartbreak and loss, we've been learning that FEMA has completely used up its budget to the point where there's little to no funds for disaster relief, reportedly because much of the budget was used up helping illegals at the border.

This isn't exactly common knowledge because the media isn't being forthcoming with this information. In fact, every time I mention this on various accounts, a handful of leftists pop up and tell me I'm spreading lies and that I have no proof. If you've been watching RedState's coverage, the proof is there.

...

The reason the media doesn't want to cover this is obvious. This is one of the biggest government scandals in modern history, and one that makes the Biden-Harris administration look horrific. This is right before people go to the polls to vote, no less.

The vast majority of the news and updates we're getting come from people on the ground who are having to deal with the effort to help these people directly. For instance, this woman who is running supplies described how four FEMA agents got off a private jet, and she soon learned that no others would be coming because most FEMA agents are tied up at the border.

She described how the army has taken over body recovery and that she overheard them saying that whatever number of dead there are, "go ahead and add a couple of zeroes."

She continues by saying that most of the supplies she's seen came from private organizations such as the Cajun Navy and the ASPCA.

...

Former Army Ranger and MMA fighter Tim Kennedy is also on the ground, and his report sounds very similar to what he told a local news station. According to Kennedy, FEMA is present, but they're "in the way."

"They're directly interrupting our ability to conduct missions and operations," said Kennedy.

Kennedy described a moment where he attempted to book a couple of people into a hotel to give them shelter, but the hotel turned them away as it had been booked for federal employees. Kennedy said he slept in his car that night and that he's filthy and under-slept, noting that the organization he's working with, "Save Our Allies," are all in the same state he is.

"This is Biblical levels of devastation," Kennedy continued. "This is apocalyptic, the things that we see out there."

Kennedy also expressed his frustration that rescue efforts had to cease so that Biden and Harris could land for photo ops.

If you think back to the way that George W. Bush was torpedoed by the media over his handling of Katrina, the silence about the failures of government during Helene is deafening. Not only are they dragging their feet in helping, they're actively getting in the way of helping people find shelter. It's all boiled down to the people helping the people, while the government posts the aforementioned photo-ops to make it seem like they care and are doing things to help.

Things are really bad in places like North Carolina, and I have a feeling we'll only know the real extent of how bad it got after the election.

None of this terrain would be considered a “flood zone”

It is mountainous

Some estimates say that the amount of water the hurricane dumped is about the same amount of water in Lake TAHOE.

The sad part, no one will be held to account for their actions. The only thing these people will receive is another strongly written letter by a congress critter.

November 5th has to be a landslide to begin the purge of the enemy of our Constitutional Republic otherwise this country is toast as we descend further into chaos.

I wonder ...how many “off the grid” survivalists are .... or were... hunkered down in those mountains.

Yup, that’ll do. Thanks much.

I hope those left alive have a place to vote.

I am sure there will be insurance companies that could argue that point.

That's no coincidence, IMO. Most of the people in those mountains (except Asheville) would vote red.

They can be out of money, if it's already been allocated for illegal migrants. What are Harris/Mayorkas priorities?

The demographics of the people that work for FEMA should tell you everything you need to know. Pay attention.
