FEMA is not providing adequate support; they seem more focused on their comfort than helping those in need. The local FEMA office closes early, making it hard for working people to access assistance. The situation feels disrespectful, as if the government views its own citizens as less important than others. There's frustration over the disparity in treatment, with immigrants receiving better accommodations while locals struggle in campers. This reflects a deeper issue of neglect towards the community.

American citizens are struggling to access aid for housing and food, while those here illegally receive immediate support from FEMA. The priority should be to assist American citizens first during emergencies. There should be fairness in how services are distributed. The inequity is evident when individuals who entered the country illegally receive benefits more easily than citizens seeking disaster relief. This situation fuels misinformation and perceptions of incompetence within FEMA. Despite claims that the agency prioritizes American citizens, the processes in place suggest otherwise, leading to frustration and a sense of failure in the agency's focus.

Thousands gathered at Abbey Gate seeking help, facing malnutrition, dehydration, and Taliban brutality. Afghans tried to kill themselves to escape torture. Despite reporting atrocities, no action was taken. State hindered evacuation efforts, risking lives. A potential suicide bomber was ignored, leading to casualties. The chaotic withdrawal lacked accountability. The speaker highlights the deaths of 11 marines, 1 sailor, and 1 soldier, demanding justice.

In this video, a contractor shares their concerns about the hostile environment they experienced while working with NGOs. They were instructed not to speak to anyone except the kids they were responsible for. The contractor witnessed children being taken on buses without knowing where they were going, and some were given short notice to pack their belongings. Many of these children were unsure of who they were going to meet at their destination. During the flights, some kids asked for contact information in case something happened, but the contractor couldn't provide any. There were reports of children calling the government phone provided by the company, claiming mistreatment, forced labor, and even sexual abuse. The contractor was only allowed access to the phone during work hours and had to hand it back to a supervisor afterward.

A woman shared that a friend had her three children taken away, one of whom is autistic, and they will be separated into foster homes. There’s no clear process for getting them back. Meanwhile, a food pantry was closed, leaving people without access to food. The media claims these closures aren't happening, but this is based on personal experiences. Reports of the death toll from a recent storm are also disputed; while the official count was around 230, more bodies are still being discovered along the river. A local fire chief confirmed ongoing recovery efforts, indicating that the situation is more severe than reported.

An individual applied to FEMA for food replacement due to power outage and windshield damage from a fallen tree branch after Hurricane Milton and was denied. The applicant states that a neighbor in a wheelchair whose house was damaged also got denied. The applicant alleges that FEMA stopped a busload of supplies from "find, feed, and restore" intended for first responders, forcing them to return and confiscating half of their supplies. The applicant insists this is happening in Florida and is not misinformation, as they have witnessed these events and spoken directly with those affected. The applicant says FEMA did not contact them for additional information or to assess the damage before denying the claim.

Kamala Harris turned FEMA into an illegal alien resettlement agency, which caused Americans in North Carolina to be left to die during a disaster. FEMA's manpower, dollars, resources, and mental energy were spent learning how to get illegal aliens into the country. Therefore, when disaster struck, FEMA was not ready, prepared, capable, or caring. The speaker claims that helicopters and military assistance were not sent to help American citizens, including babies and children. However, the speaker asserts that if the victims had been living in a foreign country like Haiti or Venezuela, Kamala Harris would have sent help immediately. The speaker describes this as a betrayal.

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.

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.

We're witnessing the aftermath of the hurricane 50 days later. Many residents express frustration over the lack of FEMA assistance. One homeowner, facing eviction from a hotel, is preparing to live in a tent with her children. Volunteers are helping with cleanup, but they rely on private donations, not government support. The community is still reeling from the storm's devastation, with reports of missing individuals and ongoing health hazards from sewage leaks. Residents feel abandoned by the government, questioning where the promised aid is. Amidst the chaos, volunteers are working tirelessly to assist those affected, but the bureaucratic response has been inadequate.

A police officer blocked the road, trapping people during the chaos. The speaker's brother had to cut a chain to let people out. They demand an independent investigation, as they were blocked from entering for several days. The speaker, an attorney, questions the government's actions and mentions questionable documents related to FEMA. The governor wants to purchase the land, which the speaker believes should belong to the people. The government is held responsible and should restore the land to its rightful owners.

Following Hurricane Katrina, a congressional hearing addressed the breaching of levees and the allocation of recovery contracts, with concerns raised about funds primarily benefiting out-of-state corporations like Blackwater, Fluor, Bechtel, and Halliburton, rather than local Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama businesses. Eyewitnesses testified about their experiences during and after the hurricane, including claims that levees were bombed and that military personnel aimed guns at civilians, including children. One witness described conditions at the Interstate 10 Causeway as a "concentration camp," alleging that authorities denied food and water to vulnerable individuals, prioritized white evacuees, and bragged about killing people. These accounts included accusations of racism and ethnic cleansing, with claims that the government valued animals over people of color. Witnesses expressed frustration that their experiences were not believed and called for accountability from all levels of government.

A woman shared that her friend had her three children taken away, one of whom is autistic, and they will be placed in separate foster homes. There's uncertainty about how families can reunite. The local food pantry was taken over, contrary to media claims that it was not shut down. National media reports suggest only 200 deaths from the storm, but more bodies continue to be discovered, with the last count being around 230 weeks ago. A fire chief confirmed that the death toll is likely higher, as bodies are still being found in the area.

The speaker claims that while almost $300 billion has gone to Ukraine, people affected by the worst hurricane are being offered only $750 for immediate needs. They assert that North Carolina is a disaster due to a lack of people helping with hurricane recovery, while Georgia is doing a very good job. The speaker says they saw virtually nobody helping in North Carolina and recounts seeing a man whose house was gone sitting on a rock. They believe this man needs monetary help. The speaker mentions that Virginia, Alabama, and South Carolina were also hit hard. Despite President Biden's claim that the response has been robust and well-coordinated, the speaker says nobody agrees with that assessment and that Biden and Vice President Harris should be present and not at fundraisers.

We visited the FEMA State Disaster Recovery Center in North Carolina, where federal employees seemed reluctant to engage. Many staff members had not even seen the disaster areas firsthand, raising concerns about their effectiveness. Local residents expressed feelings of abandonment, noting that most assistance came from out-of-state volunteers rather than government officials. Despite claims of support, the center appeared mostly empty, with employees idly sitting around. Security guards questioned our filming, indicating a lack of transparency. Survivors shared their struggles, highlighting ongoing challenges like lack of power and resources. The situation remains dire, with many feeling hopeless over two months after Hurricane Helene. We aim to uncover more about FEMA's operations and the impact on affected communities.

The transcript presents a compilation of eyewitness testimonies and reported documents asserting that German prisoners of war (POWs) in American and French camps after World War II suffered lethal conditions, starvation, exposure, disease, and violent treatment. The speakers consistently describe systemic neglect, punitive policies, and instances of murder or near-murder, arguing that the death toll was high and that authorities at various levels were complicit or negligent. Key witness: Martin Breck - Breck, drafted in 1944, guard and interpreter at a POW camp near Andernach on the Rhine in 1945. - About 50,000 prisoners (men and women in separate enclosure) with no shelter, little clothing, and inadequate latrines; many slept in mud, suffered from exposure, dysentery, and starvation. - He observed prisoners eating grass and weeds in a tin can of soup; medical care was withheld despite protests to officers who claimed higher-up strict orders to ration severely. - He witnessed a captain firing a pistol for target practice at civilian women in the distance, implying cold-blooded brutality and moral contempt. - He notes propaganda from Stars and Stripes that glamorized German camps, allegedly facilitating cruelty by likeness to enemy propaganda. - Breck describes prisoners’ zombie-like states, attempts to escape toward the Rhine, and postwar brutality when transferring prisoners to French labor camps, including beating and killing of staggered prisoners. - He recounts a moment of human connection: a German woman feeding prisoners in a graveyard area, which Breck witnessed before the end of the war, influencing his later philosophical/rel religious interests. - After VE Day, Breck depicts continued brutality, famine, and rapes among German civilians, and the lack of Red Cross aid at camps. - He argues that Allied retaliation and punitive measures mirrored enemy atrocities and advocated speaking out to influence policy and oppose dehumanizing propaganda. Other American eyewitnesses and accounts - Corporal Daniel McConnell: Suffered PTSD from serving at Heilbronn; describes Baker Number 4 as a hospital tent with no equipment, where dying prisoners were gathered for transport, and mass burials by bulldozer were common. - Major General Richard Steinbach (then colonel): Administered camps near Heilbronn; testified that conditions were terrible, with prisoners underweight, ill, and starving; argued Morgenthau Plan policies and Roosevelt’s approval caused starvation and idleness; he ordered remedial action by securing rations and tents, though he was reassigned before conditions improved. - General Withers Alexander Burris (a sixth army commander): Found Heilbronn conditions similarly dire; corroborated Steinbach. - Lieutenant Colonel Henry W. Allard: Describes Austrian camps as having only rations provided, with lacking supplies; remarks that POW camps’ living standards compared poorly to other camps. - Colonel James B. Mason and Colonel Charles H. Beasley: Observed late-April 1945 conditions along the Rhine — freezing weather, 100,000 men underfed and exhausted, many dying from hunger, dysentery, and exposure; noted near collapse of the prisoners’ condition. - Captain Ben H. Jackson: Noted the stench and encampment conditions, with severe hunger and disease. - Medical and auxiliary observations by German and French observers: Doctors and French aid workers described moribund POWs, with hospital tents crowded and lacking supplies. A Jewish intelligence lieutenant at Bad Kreuznach questioned why German prisoners were half-starved in Allied cages. - Dr. Joseph Kirsch (French volunteer): Observed moribund German prisoners moved by American ambulances to hospitals with minimal care; hospital roles appeared as morgues rather than care centers. - Charles Pradervan (ICRC delegate) and the ICRC reports (1945–1947): Documented severe undernourishment, illness, and malnutrition in French and Austrian camps; called for increased rations, clothing, and medical supplies; described the situation as “more than alarming.” - Le Monde and Le Figaro correspondents: Noted horrific conditions in French camps, including skeleton-like prisoners, typhus, tuberculosis, and mass deaths; reported incidents of random shootings and beatings, sometimes linked to attempts to escape or as punitive measures. - Ernest Kramer and other German POWs: Confirmed the existence of inhumane holding pens in American camps; described guards’ brutality, lack of food, and poor treatment even after the war’s end. French camps and American–French transition - Reports describe French camps where 900–1,000 calories per day were provided, with tens of thousands of prisoners malnourished; as camps were transferred to French authorities, conditions sometimes improved when humanitarian approaches were implemented (as in Dietersheim under Captain Julian, who increased rations and provided shelter and clothing with external aid from German authorities and the ICRC). - Captain Julian’s improvements reportedly reduced the death rate by more than half by August 1945; his humanitarian approach contrasted with the lethal policies observed elsewhere. - The testimony includes allegations that American policies explicitly aimed to exterminate or starve prisoners in some camps, and that food was sometimes burned or blocked from local civilians as part of punitive measures. Counterpoint and framing - Some witnesses argued that German camps were not treated this way by the Nazis, pointing to the Red Cross inspections and harsher consequences for abuse in German camps, contrasting with Allied practices postwar. - The compilation also references postwar debates among historians, including criticisms of James Back’s Other Losses; yet the testimonies emphasize a pattern of lethal conditions in Western Allied POW camps after the war. Overall, the transcript assembles a broad spectrum of testimonies and contemporaneous reports alleging systemic starvation, exposure, disease, and violent treatment of German POWs by American and French forces after World War II, including specific camp-by-camp observations, individual incidents of murder or brutal treatment, and calls for accountability and humanitarian reform.

My name is Kelsey Goodman. I'm here to blow the whistle on FEMA. There are still people missing. Rivers that existed before have turned into lakes. Communities lack power, water, cell service, or internet. "The number one goal of FEMA is to instill equity in emergency management. It's not to save lives. It's to instill equity." A sense FEMA is overwhelmed, with frustration on the ground and an echo chamber from leadership. A disconnect: "We have a thousand people on the ground" versus homeowners who don't see FEMA. BRIC, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities, is annual and nationally competitive, with priorities shifting toward racial/minority groups. Executive Order 14008 and the Justice40 Initiative say "40% of certain grant funding" should go to disadvantaged communities. "Houses of worship" are no longer eligible for some disaster funding (2023). DEI training questions; "I don't know the answer." Overtime gains, alleged personal use: "beach house in Portugal." Storms do not discriminate.

FEMA denied assistance to families affected by a mudslide and house flooding. An elderly man's truck, his only vehicle, was buried in mud. FEMA turned down everyone in the area, providing no assistance. The government is not there for the people.

FEMA cannot provide immediate solutions, and recovery takes time. However, it's concerning that after 67 days, people are still living in tents. There are reports showing that the FEMA compound appears to be functioning well, raising questions about the delay in providing trailers for those in need. While it's acknowledged that people are in tents, it's important to consider the broader context of the situation.

The speaker discusses an unspecified item they couldn't bring but could mail. The speaker raises the issue of contracts related to the $62 billion allotted by Congress, with some mentioning $200 billion. The speaker questions who is receiving these funds, naming Blackwater, Fluor, Bechtel, and Halliburton. They express concern that companies within Louisiana, New Orleans, Mississippi, and Alabama, as well as those in the Fourth Congressional District with relevant expertise, are not being awarded these contracts. The speaker wants to address this issue of contract allocation.

FEMA is allegedly halting search and rescue efforts because people are angry about receiving limited aid after their homes were destroyed. The speaker claims FEMA is willing to spend billions on foreign wars and undocumented immigrants, but not on its own citizens. The speaker expresses outrage that people are being told not to "stir the pot" when they are being taken advantage of. The speaker advocates rebelling against FEMA and what they call "pay for force."

They have obligated some funds, but only distributed 2%. The speaker suggests visiting the affected area and talking to the people on the ground instead of relying on politicians' words. Almost two weeks after the storm, people had not been provided the resources they desperately needed. Thirteen days after the storm, people were still being rescued and were stuck in higher elevations because the roads were down. They need every available resource and all hands on deck. The rescue and recovery efforts are still ongoing.

Following a Fox News interview, the speakers report widespread frustration regarding the lack of federal assistance after a disaster. Small businesses are allegedly caught between the Small Business Administration and FEMA, facing rejection from both and struggling to pay workers without tourist income. Locals are also reportedly being denied FEMA aid for expenses like generators and chainsaws, despite having submitted receipts. The speakers contrast this with COVID relief, where money was distributed without extensive applications. They express anger that neighbors and volunteers are the primary source of help, questioning why tax dollars aren't providing adequate disaster relief. FEMA's $20 billion budget is questioned, as neighbors are the ones clearing roads and removing trees. They claim Samaritan's Purse, not FEMA, aided a friend, and that FEMA is behind on flood zone mapping. The disaster's impact extends beyond river areas and Asheville, affecting people two hours away. World Central Kitchen is reportedly staying longer than in any other US city due to the lack of infrastructure and clean water. They urge disaster relief organizations to provide assistance, including dump trucks and chainsaws.

I joined HHS ORR to help reunite children with their families but found they were being trafficked due to contractor negligence. Despite reporting cases, children were sent to unsafe places with fake sponsors. Leadership ignored concerns and prioritized speed over safety. Calls to check on children were stopped, and a "strike team" was created to expedite removals, disregarding trafficking warnings. My offers to ensure contract compliance were rejected. This program is a failure, allowing taxpayer-funded child slavery. I urge senators to investigate and demand action to save these exploited children.
