Elon Musk is Trying to Provide Aid to Stricken Areas of North Carolina But Biden's Evil Government Is Blocking Him

Elon Musk
@elonmusk
Just received this note from a SpaceX engineer helping on the ground in North Carolina.
@FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!
"Hey Elon, update here on site of Asheville, NC. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. We've deployed 300+ starlinks and outpour is it has saved many lives.
The big issue is FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It's very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked now on the shipments of new starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire dept. but that may not be enough."

FEMA whistleblowers accuse Mayorkas of illegally appropriating FEMA funds for non-approved uses:

GOP
@GOP
Kamala Harris's FEMA allocated over $1 billion in the past 2 years "to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security."
Kamala Harris is not for you.

A lot of people are wondering if Harris-Biden are deliberately slow-rolling aid to North Carolina because the storm destroyed mostly Republican areas.

David Axelrod notes that, in a happy accident, it does turn out that maybe Harris-Biden's deadly delinquency could cause problems turning out the Trump vote.

Whoops!

Whoopsie!

@BroSpencer
Just got off the phone a Pastor in the midst of the flooding in TN/NC. He is in one of the most devastated locations. He verified a few things about the situation:
- Almost all help is being done by private citizens, mainly churches.
- Private helicopters are flying in the vast majority of the supplies.
- Local Sheriffs are telling people to feel free to defend their property from looters by whatever means they have. 🔫
- WROL (Without Rule of Law) is happening in some areas, which means looting, robbing, and etc.
- FEMA's involvement has seriously complicated the rescue efforts.
- Local Sheriffs have threatened to arrest FEMA workers if they hinder rescue and aid work.
- The response to this tragedy has been massive and overwhelming. All from private individuals and local Churches.

What Joe means is he'll be a President for all Americans...eventually. He is a President for one or two of Americans every day. So far those have only been Democrat client groups; most have been have been repeat favorite groups for Joe to President for. Unfortunately, he hasn't yet gotten around to being a President for Republicans and their supporters, Americans employed in the petroleum industry, straight white male Americans, non-Muslim Americans, and so on. He'll get around to being a President for them someday. Rest assured they're on his list of those to be a President for! It's not his fault if he runs out of time to get to them.

Just got off the phone a Pastor in the midst of the flooding in TN/NC. He is in one of the most devastated locations. He verified a few things about the situation:
- Almost all help is being done by private citizens, mainly churches.
- Private helicopters are flying in the vast majority of the supplies.
- Local Sheriffs are telling people to feel free to defend their property from looters by whatever means they have. {pistol emoji}
- WROL (Without Rule of Law) is happening in some areas, which means looting, robbing, and etc.
- FEMA's involvement has seriously complicated the rescue efforts.
- Local Sheriffs have threatened to arrest FEMA workers if they hinder rescue and aid work.
- The response to this tragedy has been massive and overwhelming. All from private individuals and local Churches.

Pray for these people!

My takeaway: Asheville cops might be fucking around, but the rural cops are still willing to help.

138 What I think happened is...

There has been a growing tendency for a while, but it was supercharged with Covid where these government agencies have put a lot of time into "planning," but it really was just them setting down rules and guidelines where they seize power during an emergency.

Actually, a lot of it came up with post 9/11 funding. Local and State agencies were given a mandate to do "disaster preparedness," and that mostly meant them saying that they would take such and such theoretical actions. Most of those actions were formulated around area/access denial, deprivation of civil rights, seizing assets, controlling media, etc. This was done with the backdrop of a major war/terrorist action and using martial law type blunt control to prevent further damage.

But these pencil necks see it as their government mandated right to control others. This is what happened in Covid and it just keeps getting worse. It is unamerican though.

144 "A lot of people are wondering if Harris-Biden are deliberately slow-rolling aid to North Carolina because the storm destroyed mostly Republican areas."

I quit wondering some time ago. I think it's pretty obvious that the objective is to use the Federal government to punish Republican and Republican-leaning states.

The cherry on top of the replacement "theory" is this particular disaster. It receives minimal, belated attention from the Feds and from the now, institutionalized government media (MFM) if it gets attention at all. And, wouldn't you know, FEMA has diverted legal citizen taxpayer emergency money to import and facilitate a foreign invasion of aliens and now lacks funds for Americans in crisis.

EVERY response from the Federal apparatus has been weaponized against conservatives and Republicans and anyone who might question Progressive/Communist policy.

Yeah, no, this isn't "mistakes were made"; this is domestic enemy action.

167 One of things that Garrett Mitchell said about the ability to reach people in the NC mountains is that it's very rough, and tight. A UH/MH-60 Blackhawk is about 60 feet long. Rotary diameter is about the same forward and back. They're simply too big to get into some of the more remote locations. But they can still provide air drops, but aren't.

But private helicopters can.

He details some of the technical, pilot shit that they have to deal with attempting to land in tight, highly steep LZ's. Some, a simple spray painted "X" on a road.

>Doug Emhoff was "one of the lawyers representing Taco Bell's former advertising agency TBWA in a chihuahua-centric case. Emhoff joined DLA Piper as a partner in 2017, working at its Washington, D.C., and California offices. He earned $1.2 million per year as a partner of the law firm." He's a "former" partner now (but I have no idea if that also means all ties & investments have ended).

DLA Piper has offices in D.C. & California, and is also a huge global law firm. It has an interesting Wikipedia page if you're interested in knowing more.

I stopped buying anything by him when he started playing games releasing compilation disks with one or two unreleased songs to get fans to buy the same shit over and over. That was in the late 80s I think. or early 90s. But I sill like his old music. Hate the man though.

Disagree. That whole album was a H.S. music class project, so yeah, it is not a great song. But it does capture the mood of driving the highways of NJ, being "mostly legal," and every 10 miles you see a cop on the side of the road looking for prey.
To judge him based on the worst song on a throwaway album of demo tapes is kind of pointless.

I have driven those roads many times (often coming home from the Fast Lane or Stone Pony, or the Dover Show Place, etc. and that song kind of nails the mood.
