A contract to take your land. If you needed any futher proof what they're up to, there it is. There should be a lawful way to put these criminal agencies out of business because of such deceptive contracts and practices.

Thanks again mountain_jim.

My wife and I live close to the Swannanoa "Township" that was decimated by the Swannanoa River. This small community just East of Asheville is reporting 100's missing. That is a good percentage of their population that lived in trailer parks and small homes along the river. Fortunately for us we are in a 20-home development 500' above the river, and physically only experienced about a dozen trees across our road that we cleared. We did lose power and water for our homes and well pumps for a week. Now we are only missing cell service, and internet, needed to stay in touch with family in the devastated areas below.

Once they cleared one lane of the partially washed-out road off our mountain, I drove down to buy a discounted Starlink system. Home Depot had the Starlink for $300, reduced from $500. But I decided to drive a bit further to Best Buy in case I ever needed Geek support. Well, I am done with Best Buy forever now. Besides their woke DEI employee advancement program, no white males allowed, they are price gouging on the Starlink Sytems that Musk ordered to be sold for $300. Best Buy told me they are selling them for the full price of $500.

I want to thank the power crew from Canada for getting our power back on so quickly, 7 days, when so many other areas are still powerless.

Here is a pic of the scary drive down to Asheville. After the first time down, I relaxed figuring the remaining lane was stable.

Good to hear you are ok elderdawg.

Appreciate the update calling out crappy Best Buy's price gouging.

I don’t believe this to be true. I know the family that lives on the corner of Old Fort Road and route 9, talked to him yesterday. No naked kids, no begging for water, no dead bodies, no FEMA Blackhawks. It’s bad, he almost lost his house. But this is exaggeration.

Hi folks,
So my internet just came back today (thank you Skyrunner! y'all rock).. I'm in the heart of this disaster and I'm so darn lucky, relatively unscathed. I spent two days putting the creek ford back together moving rocks by hand but I can get out and still drive to civilization. For now! I live down one of those dark hollers and there's only one road out and it's been severely undercut. So I'm concerned that a future rain could cut me off. Otherwise I have off grid solar power and spring water, so all good.

I'm just now trying to wrap my head around the scale and scope of this disaster. It's going to take years and billions of $. I drove through Old Fort today, heartbreaking. I could walk to Chimney Rock from my house, it's a difficult hike, overnighter through the woods, I've done it before.

I've seen lots of helicopters flying overhead; Black Hawks, Chinooks and smaller craft. I've even seen a mid-flight refueling; large heavy lift aircraft refueling a helicopter.

I was in Lake Lure on a lovely day this past spring, walking the dog, enjoying the flowering bridge and surroundings, thinking I'm so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. Probably gone now. We'll bounce back, us mountain folk are tough critters.

Thanks for all the love and support. Keep on fighting the good fight.

Glad to hear you are ok, kudzy, from one of the worst (if not the worst) damaged areas in WNC.

I've seen lots of helicopters flying overhead; Black Hawks, Chinooks and smaller craft. I've even seen a mid-flight refueling; large heavy lift aircraft refueling a helicopter.

We saw an (obviously military) large 6 propeller cargo plane doing what we thought was towing a small helicopter with a visible tow-line flying over our house, then later, it returned without the helicopter.

I have been corrected with a local information update email - image uploaded, 4 propeller C-130, refueling helicopter

That’s a C-130 refueling a helicopter. Very cool!

Thanks for the update, elderdawg. Glad you and your wife are doing well.

I don’t have a Facebook account so I’m limited in what comes up. If I guessed correctly... then Wow!

Take care.

Thank you. Glad to hear some survivors are popping up.

A few pages back, there was a clip of the U Haul building in Swannanoa. Water covered most of it -- someone said it was five stories tall.

So, yes, this has been distorted and spun immediately.

By the government?

...


You definitely can't trust Americans any more than their leadership. You can however get a more realistic assessment from local authorities. At a certain point this stuff is like yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. I, at least, can understand why a lot of extraneous lowlanders were prohibited from approaching. Some of the rest of this stuff seems unreliable.

[Moemers]

who on the ground out there is the best people/orgs to donate or send money to?

[shaberon]

If you are able to, United Way NC 211 volunteer links.

This is for their in-house Fundraiser. There are many others if you go to Red Cross, etc., or even the Town of Chimney Rock. I am not allowed to declare anything to be the "best". We should perhaps say "real" versus the likely parasites who will appear.

[shaberon]

While I am there, this has the statement from said charitable organization, with state-based links for donations:



More than 1,500 North Carolina National Guard personnel at work in Western NC are being supported by soldiers from the 18th Airborne Corps headquartered at Fort Liberty. Those soldiers are partnered with NCDOT to assist in clearing roads and with county emergency managers in distributing commodities. Soldiers are also assisting with search and rescue, and air traffic control - managing the large number of aircraft flying relief missions over western counties.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is assisting with assessing water and wastewater plants and dams

More than $27 million FEMA Individual Assistance funds have been paid so far to Western NC disaster survivors and more than 83,000 people have registered for Individual Assistance. Nearly 1,400 people are now housed in hotels through FEMA’s Transitional Sheltering Assistance.

More than 755 FEMA personnel are on the ground assisting in the western North Carolina relief effort. In addition to search and rescue and providing commodities, they are meeting with disaster survivors in shelters and neighborhoods to provide rapid access to relief resources. They can be identified by their FEMA logo apparel and federal government identification.

More than 1,100 responders from 34 states are supporting response and recovery efforts through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). This includes public health nurses, emergency management teams supporting local governments, veterinarians, teams with search dogs and more.

“Resources from around the nation are at work helping Western North Carolina’s storm response and recovery,” said Governor Roy Cooper. “We are grateful for assistance that’s supporting the thousands of our North Carolina responders.”

Governor Cooper issued an executive order that increases the capacity of the healthcare workforce to respond to Helene by making it easier for healthcare professionals licensed in other states, recent retirees, and others with necessary skills to assist with North Carolina’s response and recovery. In addition, the order authorizes the State Health Director to issue standing orders for emergency medications and authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to modify or waive fees for replacement of vital records.

Beware of Misinformation

North Carolina Emergency Management and local officials are cautioning the public about false Helene reports and misinformation being shared on social media. NCEM has launched a fact versus rumor response webpage to provide factual information in the wake of this storm. FEMA is also maintaining a rumor response webpage.

Food, Water and Commodity Points of Distribution

Efforts continue to provide food, water and basic necessities to residents in affected communities, utilizing both ground resources and air drops from the NC National Guard. More than 97,000 hot meals have been prepared and served by mobile kitchens and another 25,000 are expected to be served today.

Food, water and commodity points of distribution have been opened throughout western North Carolina. For information on these sites in your community, visit your local emergency management and local government social media and websites or visit ncdps.gov/Helene.

Points of distribution for commodities have been established in each impacted county. Many of these locations are also providing free public Wi-Fi for area residents. Seek information from local governments for the most up-to-date location in your county.

Search and Rescue Operations

Search and rescue operations are ongoing in Western North Carolina. A total of 53 search and rescue teams from North Carolina and beyond, consisting of more than 1600 personnel have conducted search and rescue operations during this event. Search and rescue teams have interacted with over 5400 people, including assists, evacuations and rescues.

Road Closures

Travel remains dangerous, with approximately 650 roads closed as of Saturday morning. As connectivity and reporting measures improve, this number may increase. NCDOT is asking people to refrain from unnecessary travel to or in Western North Carolina. Road access is limited to local and hurricane response traffic as crews work to restore critical routes and access to communities isolated by damage. First responders also want to keep the roads as clear as possible to help ensure they may carry out all response missions. NCDOT has posted at ncdot.gov an interstate detour map for travelers to avoid western N.C. NCDOT is currently using the following resources to assist with the recovery process:

2,050+ employees, plus 70 contract companies
900 trucks, graders & backhoes/loaders
5,000 barricades & signs

North Carolina National Guard and Military Response

Gov. Cooper has activated more than 1,500 North Carolina National Guard soldiers and airmen to both conduct search and rescue operations and deliver critical supplies to Western North Carolina. As of Saturday, those troops had moved 3.5 million pounds of commodities. National Guard and military personnel from NC and other states are operating 50 helicopters, and more than 400 specialized vehicles in Western North Carolina to facilitate these missions.

President Biden approved Governor Cooper’s request for active-duty military personnel and equipment to support ongoing operations in Western North Carolina.

Volunteers and Donations

Due to dangerous road conditions, and the need to maintain open routes for emergency operations, travel to Western North Carolina is strongly discouraged. Instead, consider the following options for donations and volunteer opportunities:

If you would like to donate to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund, visit nc.gov/donate.
If you are seeking information on volunteer opportunities, please visit nc.gov/working/volunteer-opportunities/volunteernc.

Major Disaster Declaration and FEMA Assistance

More than $28 million FEMA Individual Assistance funds have been paid so far to Western NC homeowners and renters and more than 70,000 people have registered for Individual Assistance. Nearly 1,400 people are now housed in hotels through FEMA’s Transitional Sheltering Assistance.

The Major Disaster Declaration requested by Governor Cooper and granted by President Biden now includes 27 North Carolina counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, with this week’s addition of Mecklenburg and Swain counties. This declaration paves the way for Public Assistance to help our hard-hit local governments, in addition to Individual Assistance for homeowners and renters. On Wednesday, President Biden announced the approval of 100% FEMA reimbursement for six months, a significant funding commitment from the federal government.

FEMA may be able to help with serious needs, displacement, temporary lodging, basic home repair costs, personal property loss or other disaster-caused needs. Homeowners and renters in Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mecklenburg, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania, Watauga, Wilkes and Yancey counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians can apply.

General Flynn EXPOSES The Dark TRUTH About What's Happening In Appalachia: 'THOUSANDS Are Dead...'

Flynn said they can reallocate funds with a stroke of a pen or a single vote. Were there any smartass remarks from this event like laser focused or the bull's eye?

Obama and his wife Michelle have just completed a successful tour of Ireland and Britain. He was given a rock star reception in Dublin, and met the royal newlyweds and the Queen at Buckingham Palace. But it’s the President’s codename which is raising a few eyebrows back across the pond in America. It seems British security forces spent the trip calling the most powerful man in the world ‘Chalaque’, which is a Punjabi word for smart-alec. Scotland Yard has defended the choice of words, saying all code names are generated randomly by a computer.

Here's my addition of the crimes the source can be charged with:

Genocide
Conspiracy to commit mass murder
Murder
Assault
Rape (Flynn said children are being raped by illegals)
Sex trafficking
Torture

Lying to Congress
Misappropriation of federal funds

International law

The Genocide Convention of 1948 prohibits genocide as a crime under international law. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has stated that the prohibition of genocide is a peremptory norm of international law, meaning that no derogation from it is allowed.

United States

The Genocide Convention Implementation Act of 1987 (Proxmire Act) amended the Federal criminal code to establish genocide as a criminal offense. Section 1091 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits genocide and includes violent attacks with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.
