I’m sharing a thread highlighting FEMA's neglect during the crisis, including trucker donations being blocked and supplies confiscated. Reports reveal debris is being kept from landfills, and the Army struggles to access areas needing rescue. My experience with FEMA showed me their dysfunction. Many citizens are stepping up, using helicopters to deliver aid, while the government threatens them. Despite the devastation, Canadian crews are helping where U.S. officials are absent. The situation is dire, with bodies left uncollected and communities in desperate need of assistance.

I’m going to make a thread of every video I can find showing FEMA neglecting their responsibility while actively preventing efforts to save lives.

Dan Patton in Moorestown reports that aid providers are being turned away from the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area, and supplies are being confiscated. Despite limited access, the speaker proposes a coordinated aid mission leaving on Friday, navigating through the national park and Cherokee with a route provided by Dan. The speaker stresses the need for "inundation" to overwhelm any resistance and deliver aid, warning against inaction and comparing it to abandoning victims. He criticizes the instruction not to bring clothes, emphasizing the coming winter and the loss of possessions suffered by those in need. Helicopter pilots are grounded, Dan is blocked from assisting, and aid is being discouraged. The speaker believes this effort will demonstrate the nation's self-reliance, as they've been saying for years that no one is coming to help. He urges listeners to join him in defying these restrictions, delivering aid, and helping neighbors.

Speaker 0: I just got a very terrible phone call. Just got off the phone with a guy in Moorestown, Dan Patton. He's told me I could say all this. So, apparently, in some areas of this region, they are pulling us over before we ever get there, turning us around. As well, if you're one of the fortunate few to actually get into this area, they will unload you, and they're taking it over, putting it in their buildings, locking the doors. As well, Dan is in possession of some really nice equipment, and he fared better than most. And he is being denied the ability to go in there and help. That being said, there's very few ways into this area. We all know this. So there's nothing we can do about that. They're gonna know we're coming anyway. So this is what I say. Friday, we're leaving. We've got several people that wanna go with us, and I think that's the exact way we need to go about this. I think we need to go up there and get into the Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg area, and then we need to plot our course and we need to go on in. Some of that goes across the national park, I think, and up through Cherokee or something. Dan said he would make sure that we had a route. That being said, inundation folks, inundation, make it impossible to deter. That's what's needed here. Without this, we kneel, we comply. If you are prepared to go over to this area to render aid to these victims and you come home loaded, what have what have you done? I'm not prepared to do that. I'm not prepared to allow these victims to become Hawaii. This is in our capabilities of fixing and helping and ensuring that this isn't their future. I'm not prepared to let this go. I'm not tapping out. I'm not prepared to tap out. I'm not gonna tap out. If you're in on that shit right there, you believe in fuck FEMA, we need to go in together. We need to make it so they cannot stop us getting to the victims. We need to get to them. We need to get shit up there to them, and we meet need to make sure that that's where it's going. Also, I can't stress this enough. Winter's coming. There's people up there. We're being told not to bring clothes. Anybody heard that don't bring clothes? There's a lot of people up there. The only clothes they have is what's on them. Their shit's gone. Yesterday, they had a lot of shit. Today, not so much. Their shit's gone. And we're being told not to even bring them clothes. Winter's coming to this region very, very soon. I don't know if you ever been up on a mountain before. It gets cold. Just y'all reach out to me, man. We need to figure this out. We're being turned around and everything else. Helicopter pilots are told they can't fly. Dan's being told he can't help. Worth being told we can't come. Oh, stand down. We got this. Yeah. We fucking see. You all have strengthened yourselves. You all have stood up. You all are getting real tired of everything that's going on. This is a common core cause that will give this nation a tremendous amount of sorry y'all phone call. This will give this nation a tremendous amount of confidence in its ability to stand on its own feet and help itself. We have told everybody for three and a half years on this app. Nobody's coming to help us. You see? And now we're being told that we can't even help those that need our help. Yeah. We have perilous times coming in front of us. We have the ability right now to change these people's future, to help them in their time of peril, and we are being told no. I don't know about you, but that's just fucking unacceptable. Reach out to me. Let's go in together. Let's inundate. Let's make it to where the answer can't be no. Let's kick the fucking door off the hinges and go in and help our neighbors. The Bible tells us, if you don't love thy neighbor, you don't love thy god. Ever read that? Let's love our neighbors, people. They don't want us turning our face back to god. Shit. Let's do it anyway. They don't want us vote for a felon either, but we're going to.

Video Transcript AI Summary

A dump trailer business owner reports that the Pinellas County landfill stopped accepting storm debris, directing them to FEMA dump zones. However, information about these zones was absent from city, county, and FEMA websites. Upon going to the landfill, they were turned away by a sheriff. The owner learned that FEMA set up three dump sites for resident use only, barring commercial vehicles. The suggestion was made to dump the debris back in residents' yards, as FEMA plans a year-long cleanup. The speaker expresses concern about mold growth and rat infestations due to the delay. They urge viewers to contact city officials, the mayor, FEMA, the landfill, and Governor DeSantis to demand action and prevent a prolonged mess. They cite concerns about FEMA's effectiveness based on events like Hurricane Katrina and the Hawaii fires.

Speaker 0: Guys, I am not a big fan of videos, and this is completely unscripted, but this Speaker 1: is something very important for all of St. Pete, all Pinellas County, probably all of Florida because, there are other areas that were impacted by the storm. This is seriously something I need you guys to watch and definitely share. I don't know if you can share a Facebook live thing, but this is important information about what's going on from the storm and how FEMA's gotten involved. So as you know, I own a fleet of dump trailers and I rent them out to people. Well, they've been insanely busy and the line at the landfill has been 2 to 3 hours long. Well, yesterday, we are informed that the landfill is no longer going to be accepting storm debris. We all said, what the hell? What kind of sense does that make? So they said that FEMA was gonna be setting up free dump zones and that we'd go and empty our loads there. So I said, okay. That's great. You know, we won't have to charge a client a dump fee. We can hopefully have a higher turnover rate and help more people. All is good. They said that information was supposed to be released last night on some of the city's websites. Well, I went to St. Pete's, website. I went to Pinellas County website. I went to the dump's website. Nothing was there. I went to FEMA's website. Nothing was there. And this morning, I said, okay. Well, maybe they didn't get it set up in time, and we need to still go to landfill. So 4:30, got up, hooked up some trailers, headed to the landfill. They had a sheriff there turning people away and saying you cannot dump here. And I said, well, where am I supposed to go? And said, you know, there's no information online. I said, go online, find the FEMA website. I said, you pull out your phone. You show me where it is. And they started going through it, and then I said, you gotta get out of here. You're obstructing traffic, and you can either leave right now or you can leave in the back of the sheriff car. So I pulled away. I went to what's called a transfer station. It's much more expensive. It's a fee that has to be passed on to the client. Otherwise, I would literally be operating at a loss. And they said that FEMA has come in and shut down the landfill, shut down the, Waste Management's, transfer station, and we were not allowed to dump there. And we had to go to these FEMA sites. I said, well, where are these FEMA sites? No one can tell us. And they still didn't have the information. So I decided to call one of the biggest companies in the area, definitely a competitor. I said, look. I'm a smaller business, and I'm curious. Do you guys know where we're supposed to empty the storm debris? And I apparently got on the phone with someone pretty high up in the company. I don't know if it's the owner or the owner's son, but he was really well informed, pretty pissed off about the situation. He started to laugh and said, yeah. There's 3 dump sites set up by FEMA, and they're for resident use only. You cannot go in there with a commercial grade truck. You cannot go in there with a commercial grade trailer. You can't go in there with anything with any lettering on it. And, we they had asked them, what do you suggest that we do with the thousands of bins that we have rented out full of trash, ready to go to the landfill right now? And they said dump it back in the people's driveways. FEMA will get around to cleaning up on our own. So he said, what do you mean FEMA's gonna clean up? They said over the course of the next year, FEMA will be picking up all the trash. So in the meantime, over the course of the next year, and this is from personal eyewitness thing, as I was jumping off dropping off dump trailers, within 2 days, there's mold inside people's home. That mold doesn't stop growing just because you take the trash out and you put it at the road. It's gonna be growing at the road. Today, when I was driving through Shore Acres down Overlook Drive and, Shore Acres Boulevard, there are dozens of rats hopping from pile to pile. It is an absolute breeding ground, and they want all that stuff to sit there for a year while they clean up. We got all the stuff picked up. It's in bins. We're ready to go to the landfill, and they're refusing us at the landfill, and they're suggesting that we take this stuff back and dump it in your yards. We need you to call the city, call the mayor, call FEMA, call the Pinellas County landfill, call governor Ron DeSantis, speak up. Otherwise, we're gonna be staring at this trash for over a year. That's insane. This isn't about making money. I dropped my prices to help people out. I just wanna get the same key cleaned back up, and they want to stay a shit show. I mean, I really hate to come on here and be acting like conspiracy theorist, but I remember when Katrina happened, and people were talking about concentration camps being set up in New Orleans by FEMA. I thought that was crazy. Then we heard about Hawaii getting burned, and because of x and social media, people are actually able to hop on and show what was going on. We saw FEMA step in and do jack crap. I don't know, but we all need to stand up and and voice ourselves to get St. Pete cleaned up. Otherwise, we're gonna be dealing with a mess for a really long time. So share this video, share the knowledge, call your local officials, call the governor, Pinellas County is a shit show. We need to get it cleaned up. I don't know how to Speaker 0: end this thing now, Speaker 1: so it might take me a minute, but that's all I got to say.

The speaker is providing an update because people keep asking what's going on. They are rotated off and supposed to be asleep but can't sleep. They state that they are doing as they're told and doing the best they can. The speaker explains that they can't reach certain locations with Humvees due to mudslides, landslides, size constraints, and rubble. They are learning information and trying to relay it, but can't share everything. Approvals are needed before using alternative methods like animals or 4-wheelers. The speaker says they are giving out food and water and helping people, but there's a chain of command, limiting what they can do. If they are told "no," they have to comply. They understand the frustration, but there's nothing they can do. Civilians can do whatever they want, but those in uniform must answer to someone and can only do so much.

Speaker 0: So this is just an add on. It's an update on what's going on because people keep asking me what's going on. So we are doing rotation. I'm not in rotation if that makes any sense. Or my I'm rotated off if that makes any sense. Or, like, I'm supposed to be asleep, but I can't fucking sleep. That's not the point. Point. We are doing as we're told. We are doing the best that we can. People are like, oh, why don't y'all just use you mule this, that, and the third? We are talking about the government. Okay? Like, moment of silence. We're talking about the government. I need you to I need y'all to open your minds and use your brain. There are certain things we can and cannot do. And I'm not frustrated with you. I'm just frustrated with the situation in general because I feel like a lot of people are getting a lot of misinformation. Like, lure is not we cannot get to, like, lure with the humvees. We cannot get to, like, Lure with the Humvees because one, there's there's mudslides. 2, there's, like, I think, landslides. 3, we can't even fit. 4, like, we it's cut off. It's all just rubble. There's no way to get there other than on foot or flying. They're not gonna let us go on foot. They're not going to. I I don't know why they're just listen. I'm literally learning shit, and I'm telling y'all or trying to tell y'all because I can't even fucking tell y'all everything. People are asking why don't we use animals or 4 wheelers and stuff like that. They have to approve whatever that it they they have to approve it before we're able to do it. Does that make any sense? If they don't approve it, we cannot do it. Then again, I know I sound aggressive, but I am frustrated with y'all if that makes any sense. I'm frustrated with y'all if that makes any sense. I'm trying to level with you. So just hear me out. We have been given food and water out. We have been helping people this, that, and the third. We're doing whatever we can because what y'all don't know is there's a chain of command. We can only do so much that we can only do what we're allowed to do. Does that mean it's just like, if we're not if we get all the way up here and they're like, no. You can't do it. It back we're back at square 1. 0. We can't do it. So I think y'all need to understand that we're only doing where what we're allowed to do and what we're told to do. We cannot do anything other than that. The consequences will vary. I understand that North Carolina and everywhere is upset with us. I get it. There's there's nothing I can do. There's literally nothing I can do. I hear you. I hear frustration. I get it. Also, people are saying civilians are doing this, that, and the third. You can do whatever you want because you're a civilian. We cannot do we have we have to answer to someone. I'm sorry. We have to answer to someone. So civilians, yes, they can do whatever they wanna do. And if they wanna drive there or mess up their car or get stuck in a landslide and we have to go help them or save them, then they can do so. Okay? You that's your right. You can do whatever you wanna do. But when I have this uniform on, we can only do so, like, so much. Does that make any sense? I hope I'm making sense. But, yeah, that's pretty much it. Bye.

Speaker 0: What the government is doing right now to the entire state of North Carolina and Tennessee is a nothing short of just plain awful. Like, I do not physically have the words for it because if you don't know, we have not heard from my aunt since Friday because of hurricane Helene, and there was no government aid. None. 0. Zilch. There's a few, but it's small government offices mainly run by civilians. Because you wanna know what's happening right now in North Carolina and Tennessee, there are entire towns that there is no way in or out. Those roads are not drivable because of the mudslides and the power lines and the downed trees. There are doctors right now physically walking across that because their cars can't get through to go help these people, to go check on these people. There's a mudslide by my aunt's house because she lives on a mountain. She lives in the middle of it. There are currently civilians digging that mudslide out with their bare fucking hands. That's what's happening right now. There is no power. There is no water. They have no supplies, and the government is currently trying to arrest people who are delivering supplies via helicopter. They are threatening to arrest those people. They are threatening to arrest people who are trying to fucking help people survive. My aunt is 70 years old with mobility issues. Anyone know what the government's fucking doing? Jack shit. But you wanna know what the civilians, the people here in America are doing? I have had several people on this platform alone reach out to me and go, oh, this person, this doctor's going there. I'll tell them and they'll tell the fire department. I'll put the word into all these shelters. I'll do this. There is somebody right now in Burnsville, North Carolina. His name is Warren, and he himself, he's a real fucking hero. I'll tell you that. He got together a list. He went door to door to people's houses to make sure that they were okay. Door to door, wrote their names on a list and posted it on Facebook so families could see if their family members were alive or not. His wife is currently making food for everybody. And you wanna know what the government is doing? You wanna know what Kamala Harris is doing right now? You wanna know what Joe Biden's doing? Joe Biden said we're doing all that we can for North Carolina. Kamala Harris is currently having a fundraiser for her campaign in LA and Las Vegas.

Asheville, North Carolina residents report constant cash offers for their properties, while movement is restricted and aid trucks are sabotaged. This situation is compared to Maui, where residents were pressured to sell land after the fires. North Carolina allegedly sits on the world's richest lithium supply for batteries and the purest quartz for the microchip industry. The area being targeted for property sales is supposedly located directly above these resources. The blocking of aid and the pressure to sell property suggests a deliberate agenda beyond natural disasters. The situation is described as one where people are caught in a mess that feels too deliberate.

Speaker 0: In Asheville, North Carolina, people are reporting nonstop offers to sell their property for cash. At the same time, there's only one way in and one way out, and nobody's allowed to move. On top of that, trucks carrying aid and supplies are getting their tires slashed so they can't even get through. I mean, it's getting real really fast but that sounds very familiar. I mean, look at what happened in Maui. Residents there were pressured to sell their land after the fires and now Asheville is going through the same twisted playbook. Why? Because North Carolina isn't just sitting on regular land. No. It's sitting on gold. The richest supply of Lithium in the world for batteries and the purest quartz for the 530,000,000,000 microchip industry and all of that, it's right under the area being hit. Residents are being asked to sell their properties, aid is being blocked, and the whole situation reeks of something bigger than a natural disaster just based on the evidence that we've seen. And just like in Maui, people are caught in the middle of a mess that feels far too deliberate.

A notification from Tema/FEMA in Tennessee instructed people not to donate time or items directly, but to donate money to them and await their instructions. The speaker is angry because Tema/FEMA stated they don't go into areas that aren't easily accessible. The speaker believes it is the disaster relief's job to go into disaster areas, not wait for people to reach them. Locals cleared the roads, requiring trucks to get through. The speaker is upset that Tema/FEMA expects people to give them money and trust them to provide care when they don't go into hard-to-reach areas. The speaker urges people to donate to local churches instead, as they will ensure those in need receive help. They suggest Tema/FEMA should observe and learn how to properly provide disaster relief, as locals will handle it themselves.

Speaker 0: Well, you're gonna have to just excuse my appearance because we have no power. We have no running water. But I'm just so pissed off that I've gotta make this clear. We got a notification from Tema. I'm guessing that's FEMA for Tennessee. I'm not exactly sure. I think it's supposed to be the disaster relief people, but they were like, do not donate your time. We don't want your we don't want you to donate time unless we ask for you. And we don't want you to donate stuff to other people. You need to just donate money and stuff to us and get your instructions from us and listen to us. What? And then you say they said yesterday, we don't go into areas that the roads are not easily accessible. What? You are the dead disaster relief people. Like, that is your job to go into the areas that are hit by disaster and provide relief, not to just go to the easy area and sit and wait for the people that are in the disaster area to be able to come to you. The roads that we do have were cleared by the locals, and you have to have trucks and stuff to be able to get through there. Like, it's just beyond me. So and you have us all messed up. If you think you're gonna come here and bark orders at us and then expect the people just to give you the money and us trust that you're gonna try to take care of us when you not you don't go into areas that are not easily assessable. What? Like, this is Cott County, girl. So, donate to our local churches because they will make sure that the people that that are needed will get it. And you need to just while we appreciate what help you're trying to provide, I don't think you understood the assignment because it's not to just go to one location in hopes that the people in the disaster area can make it to you. So just sit back and watch, and we'll show you how it's done. But we're not gonna stop. So please and thank you.

Video Transcript AI Summary

A pilot named Sinem and his son flew to Black Mountain to assist with rescues, encountering no flight restrictions initially. Sinem rescued an elderly woman, leaving his son as copilot with her husband. He then coordinated with a fire captain who provided radio frequencies and a landing zone. However, another fire official, possibly the Lake Lure fire chief, stopped the operation, ordering Sinem to leave and threatening arrest if he returned for his copilot. Sinem retrieved his son but left the woman's husband behind, apologizing to the wife. As Sinem departed, the original fire captain offered a designated landing spot if he returned with the husband, promising no interference. A flight restriction was implemented shortly after the confrontation. Sinem believes this was not coincidental and states he would continue rescuing people until arrested if he could do it again. The Lake Lure fire official has not yet been reached for comment. A Coast Guard helicopter was later seen landing in Lake Lure.

Flight tracking shows no flight restrictions in place Saturday or Sunday morning when Sittem flew through the Lake Lure gap, but that was all about to change. The Sittem spotted an older couple waiting for help then landed in what's left of their driveway. Speaker 0: Hey. I want you to, Speaker 2: let me get in. You out and go out. Help her in, put her bag in the back, get her strapped in. I'm a take her down. Come back. I'll take him. I'll come back, and then I'll get you. Okay? Speaker 0: I originally left my son, copilot, on the side of the mountain. It was it was kind of unstable, so I didn't want to put more weight in the helicopter to lift back off. So I left my son with the other victim, and and I was just gonna take one person down at the time. And and you could hear me in the video talking through with the victims and with my son what we're gonna do. Speaker 1: 3 minutes away, Sidham spotted a group of rescuers just down the river. He landed and found someone in charge. Speaker 0: I told him my, my background experience, law enforcement, firefighting, pilot, he immediately started helping with coordination. He he gave me radio frequencies to coordinate with them on, set up a landing area for me to come back with the other victim.

If that's what you want us to do, we'll leave, no issue. At that point, I asked him what was the reason I had to leave them there. And he said, again, you're interfering with my operation. I just need you to get out of the area. I said, interfering with my operation. I I just need you to get out of the area. I said, sir, I'm I I don't know where you were trained at, but I know how my training is, and I'm not gonna leave personnel behind. I'm I'm going back to get my copilot. He said, if you turn around and go back up the mountain, you're gonna be arrested. I I said, well, sir, I'm I'm going back to get my copilot. I don't know what to tell you. And he said, I'm I'm letting you know. And at that point, he waved for 2 law enforcement officers to come over and told me that again, if I go back up the mountain, I would be arrested. Speaker 1: He flew the 3 minute trip back, picked up his son, and left the woman's husband behind. Speaker 0: Sure. He was flooded with emotions and and trying to rescue other people, and I I just felt that it was best at the time to leave. So I did follow his instructions, and I had a conversation with the female victim before I left, apologizing and explaining. She she was standing there. She heard the whole conversation. And, they were both very, very surprised, very upset. The husband, as I was leaving off of the side of the mountain at that point, separated from his wife, he was he was upset. I can only imagine. Speaker 1: Cinnamon is nearly 1400 flight hours, turned his chopper around, and headed back to South Carolina, passing people waiting for help along the way. Speaker 0: As I was actually leaving to go back to get my son, the original chief or or captain that I spoke to, his crew and and himself, they they came back over and said, hey, man. We we can't tell you to go get the victim. We can't even ask you to go get the victim. But we can tell you if you come back with the victim, we'll have you a designated landing spot, and they they won't we'll make sure they don't come over here. Speaker 1: So there was no flight restriction when you went in? Speaker 0: No. No flight restriction when I went in. It went in place 20 or 30 minutes after the confrontation with, mister Speaker 1: Do you feel like that was coincidental, or do you think that that was because of what happened? Speaker 0: I don't think it can be coincidental when there has not been one in place the day before due and rescue operations, the night of, the morning of that took place after our altercation. I think there would have never been a TFR put in place had we not had that conversation. If I had to do it over again, I would have stopped and I would have rescued as many people until they decided they were gonna arrest me. Speaker 1: Well, for now, we've chosen not to name that Lake Lure fire official because communications in and out of that town are still difficult. We wanna include his side in this story. And if and when he responds to our messages, we will include that. The good news is I saw a video of a coast guard helicopter landing in Lake Lure this morning. So hopefully, some of those mountain rescues Speaker 0: Barr.

Are Rescue Efforts Purposely Stalled in Western North Carolina? “Literally allowing these people to f**king die in the mountains” HELICOPTERS ARE NEEDED, Why are TITLE 10 Orders NOT Approved? Jonathan Howard with the Florida State Guard Special Mission Unit, assisting Aerial Recovery says they absolutely are: 🧵

Video Transcript AI Summary

Jonathan Howard of the Florida State Guard Special Missions Unit and Aerial Recovery reports that news and politicians are misrepresenting the situation on the ground. He asserts that helicopters are essential for reaching those stranded 10-40 miles into the mountains, as ground vehicles are insufficient. He recounts rescuing an 11-year-old baby and an elderly woman with a civilian helicopter, while government officials and media falsely claimed government involvement. Howard claims that civilian helicopters far outnumber military ones in rescue efforts. Despite having his team present, they lack the means to reach those in dire need. He mentions political interference, including attempts to block access and prevent media from documenting the damage. He also describes encountering Air Force helicopter crews grounded due to lack of Title 10 orders, while his special forces contacts are unable to deploy. Howard implores authorities to provide helicopters to save lives, accusing them of inaction that is costing lives.

Speaker 0: My name is Jonathan Howard. I'm a member of the Florida State Guard Special Missions Unit. And I'm also up here with Aerial Recovery, a nonprofit. I came up here on Sunday with Aerial Recovery before we even got activated. We flew up here. And then we got activated, which is great. I have my team up here working as well. Here's the problem. I'm gonna tell you everything that's happening from the ground, what I'm actually seeing, because what they're telling you is complete bullshit on the news, and these politicians don't fuck the flu and they're lying. I'll say this now. I'll say at the end of the video. The only thing I need from this video is helicopters. If I have helicopters, I can save lives. Without helicopters, I can't reach these people. It doesn't matter how many chainsaws and trucks I got, I can't get to them. They're 10 miles in, 20 miles, 40 miles in the mountains. There's no way to get with them or even communicate with them. I am literally flying around in a civilian helicopter looking for SOS messages carved in the mud or paint on the ground, and we're dropping down and saving them. What got me fired up about this was yesterday, me and my team did the rescue of that 11 day year old baby. And all these government officials and social media, they're showing that video, the pictures and video of that rescue and claiming that, like, they have some, like, government help with that. And, I mean, even USAA, I think it was USAA Today, wrote an article about it saying it was Florida National Guard that went and got it, like, with a helicopter. No. It was me, my buddy, Charlie, and a civilian named Zeb with his own personal helicopter out of Wilmington, North Carolina. Like, without that civilian, that baby would be dead. And the old lady we went and rescued after that, she'd be dead too because she had one day left of oxygen. There no one was going to go get them. I will tell you when we go up in the air, I probably see 40 civilian helicopters. I might see 2 Black Hawks, National Guard, military, whatever they are. That's it. No one's out there doing rescues. I have my entire team up here from Florida right now, and they have no ability to go rescue these people other than what they can drive to. And the people that are in dire need, they're out in the mountains. They are completely cut off. Now I will say, I spoke to my congresswoman down in Florida, and she's a badass. And she made a bunch of phone calls, and now we got 2 contracted sixties coming up here tomorrow, which is great. I love that, but, like, I still don't understand why we don't have more helicopters. Like, we'll get a lot of work done with that, but there's no, no, there's no military. There's no no one's doing nothing. Nothing. I just it it blows my mind. And they're not even allowing people to see what's really going on. One of our friends yesterday, they were actually escorting CNN down in late Lor, and they wouldn't even let CNN the sheriff department would not let them go videotape the bad areas, how destructive it is. I don't know why they don't wanna show you all that, but, I mean, it is bad. I should also say, when I flew here on Sunday, they actually stopped us from going in, the sheriff department. And it was because of a bunch of politics that they were claiming was the speaker of the house of North Carolina that was preventing us from even going in and trying to kick us out, which I have clarified today with North Carolina politicians that reached out to me. Good on them. And they were like, that's complete bullshit. Speaker of the house has nothing. He wants you guys there. But this is the kind of political BS that is happening here right now. Like, everyone's trying to be in charge without taking any type of action. Nobody wants to coordinate with anybody. Everybody wants to pretend like they're being the hero while these people are literally fucking dying in the mountains. And these people like I'm saying, these people are limited medication. They're running out of oxygen, and there's no one going to get them. The most effective way I have found to go find these people is by getting in a helicopter and flying down the rivers and roads and looking for SOS messages or people waving us down, and then we drop down and get them. We have all these people here. We have law enforcement. We have state guard, national guard. They have no way to go get these people. Yesterday, when I was at the Asheville airport refueling, which by the way, the civilian is paying all this out of his own pocket. He's not even looking for a reimbursement. I think we did 4 refuelings yesterday, and that was, like, just in half a day's work. We're in Nashville, and I saw 2 air force helicopter sixties. And I knew there were pj's just looking at them. And I went up to them like, hey, guys. Like, what are y'all doing? And, like, this is what you need me doing. This is this this is how I'm finding people, and they're like, we can't go. We're waiting on title 10 orders. And I'm like, what? They just they can't get any authority. There's military helicopters all over here sitting on the ground, and they can't do nothing. Even my jaysock boys in Fayetteville, they can't get orders to come out here. It is just the most disgusting thing, and they're killing these people. And I don't know why they're doing it. I don't know what kind of conspiracy. I've heard so many things. Whatever you wanna come up with, but they are literally allowing these people to fucking die in the mountains right now because we can't get helicopters. They got money for everything else in the fucking world right now, but if they could just get us helicopters, we could fly out there and rescue these people. So I hope this video goes viral. I hope these politicians get fired. I hope people get pissed off. They'll probably kick me out of the state of North Carolina for doing this, but you know what? I don't care because if I can save one more life for it, it's fucking worth it to me.

Speaker 0: Oh, guys. Today's video was supposed to be of flying this helicopter back to the house, and I'm still gonna put all that footage in the end of this video. But as you can see, Consuela is a little dirty. She has had a busy couple of days working hard, and she's no longer brand new, you could say. She's still in good shape, but, she took a beating over the weekend. And I'll tell you why, And I didn't intend for this to be really a portion of this video. It just kinda happened, and I wore my helmet cam while we were out doing some disaster relief in North Carolina. Basically, on Saturday, I was with Maddie, my wife, and we were gonna go grab some dinner when I got a call from a friend up in North Carolina, named Rudy. And he said, hey, man. We need some helicopters up here. The hurricane damage is really bad. There's a lot of people trapped in the mountains. So my wife and I got someone to watch the kids. We loaded up with 1 bag and flew to North Carolina with no plan and posted that we were on our way. And by the time I got there, I probably had 500 emails and a ton of text messages. And my post had been shared thousands of times and we we were blown away. We're like, what is going on? How bad is this deal? So we get into North Carolina. We end up saying that Greg Biffle's house because there's no power in the Asheville area. So we couldn't really stay close to where all the damage was. We looked and swale up with water and fuel. Next morning, take off and fly into just some things that I've never seen before. And, some really, really bad situations for people. Like, I can't really describe it well, but I have some videos on my helmet cam that I'm gonna put in this video. And I'm not putting them in there to try and grow my YouTube channel. I'm simply putting them in there to give you a perspective of how bad the damage in the Asheville area is. And it's not just Asheville, it is spread so far into the mountains of North Carolina. And these areas we're flying in are some of the worst areas to fly a helicopter. And you're I'm talking about the tightest l z's, slope landings inside of tight landing zones. It was absolutely wild. Consuelo, my helicopter just performed absolutely flawless. I didn't think this was the right helicopter for the job, but I had the ability to take insulin, food, water into the tightest spots in the area and drop them off and get them to people in need and then haul people out. Yeah. She got a little beat up. She got puked in. We hold dogs, a lot of people and, it is what it is. It's just a machine, but I'm so proud of this machine and what it's become. You know, this was abandoned in Venezuela, and now she's out here helping people out. Lastly, before we get to the footage, I'll say, I do feel a little weird putting stuff like this on social media. However, the awareness I feel we brought to the area made it worth it. There's over a $350,000 on the Hope Mill Fund Relief Group GoFundMe. And also they started up a pilot jet fuel GoFundMe. And I'll put those links down in the description because there's a lot of helicopters flying. By the end of day 2, there was 37 helicopters, private helicopters on-site at Hickory Airport helping out. Basically, day 1, this wonderful woman named Erin from the Hope Mill Fund, GoFundMe. We we just met her at the airport, and she's like, can you take these supplies to this spot? And we just went. And then we come back, and they would just load up the helicopter while I'm looking it over, jam it with fuel, and we would go. I don't know who this woman is, Erin, but the fact that she was able to get us the correct information to the worst spots I've ever seen, and give us the right supplies, and have them ready on time when we got there. It was incredible. And then day 2, operation airdrop. These guys organized a lot of pilots, and they had a good plan, and they deployed us correctly. And we flew that for as long as we could yesterday, and then got back to our family. But it was insane up there. And there's a long road ahead of all of the Asheville area to even get out of there. It it's unbelievable. So I don't know what the current status is. I've heard a lot of it critically injured or in need people have been helped, but there's still more. And the government assets are showing up like crazy. There's Chinooks and Blackhawks everywhere. There's a c 17 Globemaster at the airport, and they're working like crazy. Some of my friends brought in some sick helicopters. A lot of these guys just did an amazing job, and this flying is no joke. I'm talking no joke. So a huge thank you to all the pilots who are part of it, and thank you to thoroughbred aviation for giving me a safe helicopter. It's just been the craziest couple days in my life, and I wanted to share some of clips. So let's get to that, and then we'll get to the original idea of this video, which is picking up my brand new refurbished helicopter. Let's get to it. So here's Mel z from day 1. Speaker 1: We just saw people standing here. We had a helicopter full of supplies. So we dropped here, dropped this stuff off, and hauled some people out. Speaker 0: Relatively easy. Speaker 1: This is probably the hardest landing. I did you got power lines there on the left, the house directed under the helicopter right now. This takes every ounce of horsepower the helicopter has, and we're also full of supplies. Now we did calculate weight and balances before we took off for these flights, and, you can just see how tight it is. This is this is where the MD 500 shines, and the residents were putting x's on the roads where we could possibly set down. And, that was really helpful to spot where these guys needed help. And then when we would land, we would talk to them and say, hey. Go clear a bigger l z, and then maybe they can bring in a Blackhawk. So it was pretty helpful when other people were clearing more l z's up the hill. And then you'll see in the next clip, I actually made it up higher on this valley after we dropped off some of these people for another real tight spot.

I’ve never seen anything like it on my drive to D.C. Saturday & that’s what you could see from the main highways. Every 50 feet a dent in the side railing from a tree falling. Bridges out with 100s of stripped trees over the roadway. I hear stories of many towns just gone. All this while there was over 200 miles of no internet and cell service. Much of that without power. 1000s of people stuck behind driveways with too many trees to remove in time to save them. I keep hearing of another 500-1000 person town wiped away. My wife had all of her real estate options listings drop on her temporarily due to damages.

WOW 🚨 American Citizens Affected By Hurricane Helene Being DENIED AID By Kamala Harris’ FEMA “Nobody I know has had immediate assistance” “I went on FEMA, I applied, and I immediately got denied” “I just saw the video of Kamala Harris in my hometown, Augusta, Georgia, speaking to people like everything's going to be okay. She's sitting here telling us that go online, apply. Well, okay, A, hundreds of us still don't have power, internet services. Sure we can get to it. We can fight. We can apply. We can get on it for immediate assistance. — You're telling us to go online to FEMA and apply and you'll get immediate help for $750. Well, okay, I went on FEMA, I applied, and I immediately got denied because apparently I have homeowners insurance. — Thank God we're all safe and alive.

Video Transcript AI Summary

A resident of Augusta, Georgia, recounts the aftermath of a storm and expresses frustration with the government's response, particularly Kamala Harris's message of immediate assistance. Despite Harris's suggestion to apply online for FEMA aid, many residents lack power and internet. The speaker applied to FEMA but was denied due to homeowner's insurance. The speaker criticizes the promised "$750 in immediate help," questioning its practicality given the extensive damage, including lost food and downed trees. They describe predatory contractors offering immediate tree removal services at high costs, such as $3,500 for crane rental plus hourly groundwork fees, requiring upfront payment with the promise of later insurance reimbursement. The speaker feels Harris's visit was insensitive and out of touch with the reality on the ground, where the scale of the devastation is overwhelming and immediate solutions are lacking.

Speaker 0: I just saw the video of Kamala Harris in my hometown Augusta, Georgia speaking to people like everything's gonna be okay. She's sitting here telling us that go online, apply. Well, okay. A, 100 of us still don't have power, Internet services. Sure. We can get to it. We can fight. We can apply. We can get on it for immediate assistance. Well, I went on because, we we split. We went to Columbia right away and got our hotel room. Now, luckily, we're in an Airbnb. This is a place that we get to live. I get to give my kids some hot water, some power, some food, just some comfort, something to help them know that this is gonna be okay while our house is back home destroyed and filling up with water. The floors are caving in. Hundreds of people, that's happening to everybody around the city. Like I said, we still don't have water, still don't have power. Slowly, it's getting restored, and I think all the linemen that are out there working so hard from all the other states, they're the only ones that are actually getting things done, not the freaking government. Because you're telling us to go online to FEMA and apply, and you'll get immediate, help for $750. Well, okay. I went on FEMA. I applied, and I immediately got denied, because apparently, I have homeowners insurance, and that's gonna cover that. And okay. Sure. I know. It will. It'll get taken care of. Thank god we're all safe and alive. I know it's just things. It's a house, but it's not immediate. And I don't know what is she talking about. I have no idea. Nobody I know has had immediate assistance. Nobody's $750 what? To our Cash App? What are you gonna get how how are we gonna do this? How are we gonna get this? So then if we get the 750, that'll barely cover the groceries that we've all lost in our freezers, refrigerators, and everything. Also, there's thousands of pine trees just like this one and oak trees and all these trees all over the entire city. Power lines are everywhere. They're ripped apart. Poles are down. Transformers are down. It's gonna take weeks to get this repaired in some places. So people are going around. There's 3 people that are going around riding through neighborhoods. Hey. Hey. Hey. You guys need help? Come on. Some of them are trying to get you to sign a contract right there on the spot. No quote. No money down. We're just gonna get to work. Okay? So then a lot of times you have to bring in a crane. There's trees on all these houses. So now we have to get a crane to pick up the tree. Okay. The crane rents $3,500. Awesome. And then the groundwork is, I was told, 1.50 per hour, 1.85 per hour, just until the work's done. And you just have to trust us that it's gonna get done, and you have to pay out of pocket, and then your insurance will cover it, and they'll cut you a check. And there's 750, man. That's gonna, like that'll definitely take care of it. I don't know what it's just I don't know what I want her to do, but just that was flat out insulting, and she just didn't seem to have any regard, any care for what was going on. They flew her in to our literal airport, drove her right to a disaster place, set her up a little podium with, oh, look at this house with trees in it. This looks awesome. Let's do this. Man, I bet you seen it. It's been 10 minutes driving around looking at that place. I have no idea, but it's just it's so and I know we don't even have it as bad. We have deaths in our area, but we're compared to people in North Carolina who are absolutely trapped and the entire town's gone, this thing completely obliterated the southeast, and I don't I don't know what to even do to fix it. I don't have answers. I don't know. But I know that her coming on and saying immediate help, $750 is gonna be given to those immediate what the hell is that? What? What are we supposed to do with that? And what immediate help? What are you talking about? People are going knocking door to doors. Who has power? Who has don't? I mean, it's pretty easy to tell who can have power and who doesn't. It's just and then what are you gonna do? You're gonna you're gonna give them 750 right there at the door? Is that them is that what's happening? Or is it gonna be sit tight? We're coming. Here's some cheese and some bread. Oh god. I don't know, guys. This is just it's crazy though. That it it's unreal to go through something like this, and you see it all your life on news in Florida and Texas and Louisiana. Everybody get pelts by hurricanes. We're up in Augusta, Georgia. We get rain. We get wind. Sometimes tornadoes. It's never really, like, a huge deal, but this swept through and completely decimated our area. We are not used to anything like this. Not prepared. We have no idea how to even start setting up, and we have I don't even know how to start cleaning up trees out of my yard. I mean, I guess I'll just get a chainsaw. I'll start but now we have, like, gigantic 20 foot root balls hanging out everywhere. I can't grind that up. I I don't even know how to, like, start getting rid of that. We're probably just gonna make it into, like, a playhouse or something. I have no idea.

Video Transcript AI Summary

The speaker thanks supporters for sharing a video that went viral, leading to support from congressmen and private sector helicopter assistance. Civilian helicopters are actively flying rescue missions. Government military support is reportedly en route. Flights are typically delayed until 9:30 or 10 AM due to fog, but a temporary flight restriction (TFR) due to Joe Biden's visit is further impeding rescue efforts. Search and rescue teams are being deployed to the mountains via helicopter before the TFR goes into effect. The helicopters must then travel to another airport to obtain a special code allowing them to fly during the TFR. No rescue missions will occur between approximately 12 PM and 4 PM due to the TFR. If the TFR is lifted around 4 PM as scheduled, only two rescue missions will likely be possible before nightfall. The speaker suggests that political considerations are hindering rescue operations during favorable weather conditions.

Speaker 0: Thank you for all the support and sharing that video. It did exactly what it was intended to do, and that was to go viral. And it went so viral that 12:30 at night last night, I actually had congressmen texting me, offering their support and trying to clarify issues that that that we had been running into out here. So thank you all for that. That would not have been possible without all of you sharing that video. It also brought us a lot of helicopter support from the private sector on the civilian side. I've had so many civilians reach out to me offering their helicopters, and they're actively flying up here right now. So we're gonna put those helicopters to work and go save flying up here right now. So we're gonna put those helicopters to work and go save lives. On the military side, the government side, they're on their way from what I'm being told, which is great. When they get here, we're gonna put them to work. To give you a real world idea of what's happening here and and and restrictions that we have with weather, we usually can't go fly till about 9:30, 10 o'clock in the morning just because of fog and pilots can't go fly. Right now, it's beautiful. It's sunny. And we should be out flying right now, but me and Charlie are sitting here on the ground waiting for our helicopters to get back. But we won't be able to go out probably till later this afternoon because Joe Biden is flying in. They put up a temporary flight restriction in this entire area. So what we decided to do was put our search and rescue teams on the helos right now before the TFR goes in effect, fly up to the mountains, drop them off so they can go rescue people, and then our helicopters have to go even further north to another airport to get approval, with a squat code. They have to go there in person. They won't give it to us to us over the phone. That way, they can fly in a TFR. And at they're not gonna have enough time to come back here, get us, and then go do a mission because from about 12 to 4 or so, the TFR goes into effect, and there will be no active rescue missions going on at all. That's right. 0 flying whatsoever. So that's why we decided to put our boys, as many boys as we could, up on the mountain to start doing search and recovery because of that reason. So the TFR is supposed to be lifted sometime around 4 PM, but you know how the government is. It'll probably go all day. So if, let's say, it does end at 4 o'clock and we can actually lift off at 4 o'clock, at best, we're probably probably gonna go do 2 rescue missions before it gets dark, and that's it. When we should be doing rescue missions all day because it's so sunny and nice out, and we have good weather. But because of politics, we can't go do our job right now because somebody wants to come here and shake hands and kiss babies and take videos that he actually pretends like he cares and probably offer everybody $300, $500 because of the hurricane damage. So that is unfortunately the real world politics of what is going here in North Carolina.

Tires being slashed on donation trucks

@galacticaactual - MAGA Marie 🦅🇺🇸

Heartbreaking. 💔 Listen to this tearful woman in western North Carolina claim the media is not reporting on the true devastation of the area. She has seen bodies floating down the river, even babies, and says they cannot rely on the govt to help them. 🙏🏼 This is so WRONG! 🥺

Video Transcript AI Summary

Reports from Western North Carolina are horrific, with the news understating the true devastation. There are bodies, including babies, floating down the river. A friend in Canada heard reports of 200 missing and 40 dead, but the speaker believes the numbers are much higher, citing over 900 unidentified bodies at a Nashville hospital two days prior. The speaker urges people to pray for Western North Carolina and to rely on information from people on the ground rather than the news. Truck drivers attempting to deliver goods were stopped with slashed tires. The speaker believes the government is not helping and that it will be up to everyday citizens to help each other. The speaker believes this will go down as one of the worst storms in American history.

Speaker 0: Hey, y'all. So I'm safe in my house. Our power came on. I have water, and I'm so blessed. But the reports that are coming out of these towns in Western North Carolina are horrific. The, the news is not even coming close to catching the true devastation. There are bodies that are floating down the river. Babies. And, if this is not a wake up call that our government is not for us, then I don't know what is. They're everyday citizens who are taking it amongst themselves to go and deliver items and things to these people. Anyway, pray for Western North Carolina. I don't believe everything that you're hearing on the news because they're not. One of my friends in Canada had heard that there were, like, 200 people missing and maybe 40 dead. Y'all, so much more than that. At the local hospital in Nashville, there are over 900 unidentified bodies. And that was just from 2 days ago. So I'm sure there are more, but there are people are floating down the river. And if you're able and you can donate or you can get it in the hands of a real person, there were, like, I think, 10 different truck drivers who were trying to deliver, goods, and they all stopped, on the way up there, and every single tire was fly flashed. And so it's it's gonna be up to us. We cannot count on uncle Sam. It's gonna be neighbor helping neighbor. And I don't care how old or young you are. If you can't get out there or you can't donate, you can pray. Because the devastation is nothing like I have ever seen. And I think this is gonna go down probably as one of the worst storms in American history. I just cannot fathom the pain and the destruction and the stuff that these people are going through. So, anyway, just remember Western North Carolina, and, listen to the people who are on the ground, not the news, because they don't know. Anyway, y'all have a good day.

Deeper concerns

@chrismartenson - Chris Martenson, PhD

🚨This needs to go far and wide to put pressure on the government to do the right thing and save lives. 🚨 This evening, from a Peak Prosperity member to me via PM at my site: Them: I can’t post this online because it’s not quite public yet, but government officials had a town meeting with all of the residents of chimney rock and basically told them the town was being bulldozed, bodies and all and the land was being seized by the federal government they would not be able to move back and basically their homes the ones that were standing were no longer theirs and the federal government owned it all. I don’t know what crazy play for land this is, but there’s a lot of conspiracy about lithium mines and let me just tell you, as someone who lives in Charlotte and has friends who live in the area of Western North Carolina, they are not being helped and this is actually being a stand down operation by federal government Me: What the heck…? That's quite disturbing. Is this first-hand, second-hand, or more distant info? Them: Our friend owns an Airbnb in Chimney Rock. They had a town meeting yesterday and someone from the federal government told them all of those things in the town meeting, but doesn’t want the information getting out. Also, they are not picking up the bodies. The stench of the bodies everywhere is insane and for some reason, the government does not want to pick up the bodies. One pastor of a local church was going to order to door delivering water and they changed their delivery request to body bags because so many of the homes that they’ve gone to have needed body bags, we’re trying to keep the body count. They’re not picking up the bodies. They don’t wanna identify the bodies and they’re just leaving them to rot in the streets. Me: I…can't…even. I'm stunned. This is beyond anything I could have imagined even very recently. You always pick up and bury the dead. It's what humans do. They are violating every possible custom … on purpose. Thank you for keeping me informed. People need to know about this. Let me know when you'd be comfortable with me posting to our forums in an anonymized fashion, of course. Them: You can post it the message needs to get out. Something evil is going on in the NC mountains. I just didn’t want to be identified. Just today we filled up a trailer for a shelter in Hendersonville NC that had no food for tons of moms and babies. All the stores round are empty or locked. In Chandler NC 2000 people haven’t eaten anything or drank in 6 days and just got an SOS message out for help. I’m trying to tag the Cajun navy and operation airdrop but people are dying by the minute. Multiple tuckers have reported having tires slashed. Our friends from Chimney Rock said they have heard multiple stories of people being robbed at gunpoint making supply runs. Two people that drove down to Charlotte yesterday and today one that we helped said bodies in trees, all over ditches in major roads back. Something weird is going on here in NC. Me: God bless you. Let me know if I can help. Them: Someone with a large national megaphone needs to amplify how bad it is. People are now starting to die trapped. My town is Operation Air Drop NC central command. They need pilots with planes and now are asking just for trucks. People with big equipment are needed but more than anything the nation needs to put pressure on Washington to deploy the National Guard asap. The 82nd was begging to go since Saturday but has been told to stand down. Every fucking Apache we have should be flying rescue missions. Please amplify the message!!!

People delivering baby food with drones

Video Transcript AI Summary

A drone is being flown high to get over a 2,000-foot mountain range. The drone will lose signal once it goes over the range. A smaller drone, a T30, is acting as a relay. It sits on top of the mountain to double the signal range, allowing the larger drone to deliver supplies over the mountain.

Speaker 0: Hey. This guy's flying a link way up there so we can get over the mountain. So everybody understands. Yep. Did you see that mountain range up there? I don't see that. That's 2,000 feet of elevation. We're taking it over the 2,000 feet of elevation to the other side. So we're it's not nearly a height thing, but once we go over the range, we're losing signal. So the t thirty goes up there with a relay, sits on top of the mountain, and that doubles our range. What you guys can't see, there's a tiny drone up there with a relay so that this big drone could get those supplies over the mountain.

They are trying to arrest rescue pilots in NC?

Video Transcript AI Summary

Congresswoman Kamak is addressing reports that good Samaritans are being denied access to rescue efforts in North Carolina due to a total flight restriction (TFR). Her team has been working to get private helicopters clearance to land and conduct rescue missions. The TFR means no unauthorized private aircraft can enter the area to drop supplies or pick up people. Her team is reviewing FAA statutes to determine if the flight restriction is lawful. In the short term, they are working to lift the flight restriction and provide good Samaritan protections for those trying to fly in. Some pilots have allegedly been threatened with losing their licenses. The Congresswoman is asking anyone who knows of individuals or groups trying to deliver aid to North Carolina who have been threatened to contact her. She wants to ensure that Americans trying to help will not face adverse action. She is in contact with her colleagues in North Carolina and is committed to ensuring people get the help they need.

Speaker 0: Hey, guys. Congresswoman Kamak here. You guys have brought something to my attention, on what's happening in North Carolina. And so we've been getting reports that good Samaritans, were being denied, access to rescue efforts and dropping off supplies and saving people. In fact, for the last several days, we've had people in our district with private helicopters who our team had been working to get them the clearance to land in North Carolina in these affected areas, and they were doing private rescue missions, just out of the goodness of their heart, and, we're running into hurdles. And so I wanted to give you guys a quick update on where we are at, what we know, and what we're doing about it. So, I could show you the screenshot. It's called the TFR. It's a total flight restriction was imposed for North Carolina. And our team, which and that just basically means that no private aircraft that is not authorized, cannot get into the area to drop supplies, pick people up, etcetera. And we know there are so many people who are just trying to help and so many people that need help. So our team, we were able to get a couple of our folks in there to do rescues, and that's when the TFR came crashing down the total flight restriction. My team right now in Washington DC has pulled all of the FAA statutes, and they are going through seeing if there are any laws currently on the books that prohibit this type of activity or if it's just something that got pulled out of the the rear end of the administration. We don't know. But in the short term, we are working to get the FAA and the Department of Transportation to, 1, lift the flight restriction. 2, we want to provide good Samaritan protections for people who are trying to fly in. I've heard that some pilots are being threatened, that with their license being taken away. And you guys know me. You know how I feel about this kind of stuff. That's bullshit. And so for anyone, and I hope you tag them, please share them, please, in the comments, tag people that you know are doing this. If you know of anyone, any group that is trying to deliver aid to North Carolina and they have been threatened by officials that their pilot's license is gonna be taken away, you please let me know because, lord, help them when we finally get a a hold of those folks. We are going to make sure that our good Samaritans, Americans who are just trying to go in and help, they have protections that they will not be adversely, they will not have adverse action taken against them. So, even though I'm still doing all this stuff here in Florida, I wanted to pop my head up, and say, yes. We are aware that North Carolina has been devastated. It is heartbreaking. I've been in touch with my colleagues in North Carolina, and we are going to do everything that we can here in Florida to make sure that people can get the help that they need no matter where they are. So, team is working on it. I wanted you guys to know that that was happening because there's so many questions, and there's so much bad information that's out there. So if you know of someone or

Speaker 0: Picked up a flight of, pediatric medical supplies that were brought in, and are going to North Asheville. We were sitting in the private portion of the airport, and we got to overhear an awful lot. The army pilots, the navy pilots, hospital representatives. There was a lot of chatter. While we were there, a private jet landed, and 4 FEMA representatives got off. 4. Four people off of a private jet. Come to find out and you're not gonna hear this. So let me tell you. Come to find out Mission Hospital was told, a private hospital, that they are going to go ahead and be the morgue center for body recovery. All of the Army Chinook helicopters you're seeing flying overhead, they are doing body recovery. FEMA said and and you can take this as a direct quote, said that they are too tied up at the border to send any more representatives. Yeah. At the border. So, anyhow, I guess border control trumps whatever's going on here. So they told Mission Hospital they are not sending refrigerated trucks so that they can stack the bodies up. And we also overheard that whatever fatality numbers you are hearing and this is a quote. Go ahead and add a couple of zeros. So FEMA's too busy with the border. A private hospital and the army are going to take over body recovery, and private individuals with their private helicopters and their private planes are the ones who are flying in supplies. I was at hangar 10. I was picking up supplies. There was a stack for the Cajun Navy. There was a stack that looked like it was ASPCA. These are all being sent by private individuals. FEMA is doing nothing. Go ahead and share that.

FEMA rejecting help from non “preferred vendors”… lives come second to kickbacks.

@5149jamesli - James Li

The media fact checked claims of FEMA blocking or confiscating aid by calling FEMA to ask them if they were blocking or confiscating aid. To which FEMA replied — no. Another dangerous piece of “misinformation” debunked… 😑 https://t.co/wn3gdbZPCW

Video Transcript AI Summary

Posts on social media claim FEMA is confiscating supplies. FEMA, Tennessee's emergency management, and North Carolina governor Cooper's office deny these claims. One individual, Ryan Tyre, who has worked in disaster relief for almost a decade, claims that FEMA and similar groups turn away those not on a "preferred vendor list." Tyre alleges that preferred vendors receive government funds for disaster relief, and those who control the vendor lists receive kickbacks in exchange for adding companies to the list. He suggests these companies receive excessive compensation for their services.

Speaker 0: This is absolutely crazy. FEMA confiscating donations and preventing them from being delivered. But don't worry. The media has already debunked this as misinformation, so nothing to see here. Speaker 1: And, guys, there's been several posts circulating on social media just like this one claiming FEMA is confiscating supply. So to verify these claims, we spoke with FEMA, Tennessee's emergency management, and North Carolina governor Cooper's office. Speaker 2: We spoke with FEMA over the phone, and they tell us no donations will be blocked or are blocked for Western North Carolina or any disaster site. Speaker 0: So the debunk here is that they called and spoke to FEMA, and they said, no. We wouldn't do that. Sort of like asking the perpetrators of the crime if they did the crime. And, of course, no surprise, they said, no. But mister Ryan Tyre, who has been helping out in disaster relief for almost a decade as a private citizen, had a a different explanation that I think makes perhaps a lot more sense. He said he himself has been turned away by groups like FEMA because he was not on the so called preferred vendor list. He says that these preferred vendors are getting part of the money being released by the state and federal government for each disaster. He claims that there's people on the inside of these organizations that control these vendor lists in exchange for getting on this vendor list, which means that these companies get outlandish amounts of compensation for the services they render, the people who get them on the list, they get kickbacks. No surprise, it's all about the money. Never let a good disaster go to waste, I guess.

It's beyond any nightmare that you can fucking have. There are bodies everywhere up there floating around, buried under mud. Cemeteries most likely have flooded, which means there will probably be caskets and shaves floating around. That I don't know of. But I do know that a town was wiped out completely. Everybody killed. And the only people saving them are the people that are there, saving each other, and then they're all stuck together. Fuck our government. You fucking showed your faces with this fucking disaster.

FEMA is present but hindering mission operations. Federal employees have booked entire hotels, leaving no room for those rescued from the mountains. The speaker and team have been working nonstop, lacking sleep and hygiene. The devastation is described as biblical and apocalyptic. Government helicopters are reportedly not being released to those on the ground in remote mountain towns who are requesting body bags. Rescue operations were halted for a presidential photo op, which is considered unconscionable. Donations can be made at saveourallies.com. Those needing rescue can submit information at saveourallies.org. Special operations personnel are working to reach inaccessible areas.

They are directly interrupting our ability to conduct missions and operations. And I'm not gonna disparage anybody because we are trying to work within partner relationships, both government and non government entities within state and federal and county. You know, I went to put a couple of people into a hotel last night and they have a security guard at the hotel. They said, oh, we're so sorry. The entire hotel has been booked for federal employees. And I was like, no, no, I have people that would just pull out of a mountain that are living out in the hills and there's not a place for me to put them because we have federal employees that are staying in the hotel. I slept in this white car last night. I smell like foot and death right now, as does every single person on our team. Not a single one of us slept. We got done maybe at 3 o'clock the moment the sun was up, and we could fly helicopters again, we were back in the air and we have not stopped. And I was like on, on the fence about trying to get on this program or not. I want people to understand how incredible this organization is, save our allies and all the work that all of these volunteers are doing. But people, this is biblical level devastation. Yep. This is apocalyptic, the things that we see out there. Speaker 2: These are towns up in the mountains that are 10, 20, 40 miles away from any other town. And people on the ground like you need helicopters from the government, and they will not release them. I have heard that time and again. And the people who are delivering aid up in the mountains are now getting requests for body bags. Tim, we got it all. Speaker 1: Yeah. You are a 100% correct. Oh, you're right about that. And there was a no fly when the president flew in today. We had to land helicopters to not go rescue people so that a photo op could take place. And that that that's a travesty and that that's unconscionable. Speaker 0: Do people wanna donate, is it saveourallies.com? Speaker 1: That's right. And if if somebody is stuck somewhere or you know somebody that's stuck, you can go to saveouralliesorsavesaveourallies.org and you can click on there. Let us know.

Speaker 0: I'm currently in Asheville, North Carolina with my company doing disaster security for a dialysis company. And we're also doing search and rescue for patients to bring them to dialysis so they don't die. This place is a war zone people and the military is not here and the reason I'm pissed because I was part of the operation during hurricane Katrina. I was stationed in San Diego and within 96 hours we were in Louisiana. And these bastards are not sending the military here. There's so much destruction. There's no news crews here. That's why you're not seeing it. The American people should be angry at what our government is doing to this town. There are people hurting here. There are so many people dying. I drove past a young kids about 5 to 7 years old. They were brother and sister, and they were looking for their parents. We got them to a church. These young kids don't know where their mom and dad are. And the military is being fucking hamstrained by these goddamn DOD fucking executives. If you're not angry, you should be. Because this is what our government thinks about us. They're not here to help us. We have to take care of ourselves. There's townsears that are self policing. We drove into towns where the the town folk came up to us and said, what are you doing here? So we're looking for patients. We're trying to get them help, and they welcome us with open arms. This is bad people. You're not here. It is very bad. We need water. We need food. We need clothes. I'm in a budget motel, and I'm very grateful, and I feel somewhat guilty that I have a roof over my head and a shower. And it's right across from the airport. There was a man that took off yesterday in his helicopter to go up in the mountains to drop off food. He landed and got arrested and said he was interfering with the government, a government operation, but there's no operations going on. I'm sick to my stomach that our government treats our American people this way. And then when they get slapped in the face, oh, here's $750. After we sent over $200,000,000,000 overseas. Mallorca's, you're a traitor to your country.
