When did the US government decide to ignore its own people in times of crises, and will Democrat candidates in the November suffer for it?

In Feb. 2023 residents of East Palestine, Ohio faced life-threatening vinyl chloride and other hazardous materials in a freight train derailment. The federal government largely ignored them.

The federal government’s response to the Maui, Hawaii fire in Aug. 2023 was a failure.

Now in Oct. 2024 Hurricane Helene inflicted unimaginable damage, especially on parts of Western North Carolina. The government is not giving these people the help they need.

Social media, especially X, gives voices to these people who are in desperate need right now. Click on the links below to see videos from these people trying to have their voices heard.

Please consider giving to reputable organizations, who are helping on the ground.

Do you think $750 will help as I am not sure this little one has parents or will ever feel safe again

FEMA in Western North Carolina

Whatever fatality numbers you are hearing … go ahead and add a couple of zeros.

My God listen to this

Hey guys, I’m in Western North Carolina. We’re working on day six. … We need the help. The whole town was wiped out… The F- media is lying to you. We need the help, and we need it bad. We can’t go save anybody. We’ve been threatened. We’ll get arrested. … It’s incredible that ‘we the people’ are willing to let the government tell us we are not allowed to save our own people. It’s bad. It’s really F- bad. It’s worse. It’s beyond any nightmare … There are bodies everywhere up there floating around. Buried under mud. … A town was wiped out completely. Everybody killed. The only people saving them are the people that are there saving each other… F- our government …

Man arrested for bringing supplies

“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 a government operation, but there’s no operations going on.”

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.

You need to apply for permit to help people

They really got us out here applying for permits to help people. Like helping people became a profession you need to apply for a permit, for a request. Permission to help people, that’s F- insane. That’s insane. … You need someone to order in order for you to have permission to help people. That’s where we’re at. Insane.

Where is our government?

How can the government do us like this? How can the whole country forget about us? IT is not enough. What is being done is not enough. The entire community was decimated. Where is our government? I mean, for Kamala, I am an avid supporter, for her to stand in Florida today and make a statement. Where is our government? 

FEMA is calling me a LIAR

Throughout the week I’ve been reporting how FEMA has been taking over a billion of our dollars — that’s intended for disasters — and shifting it towards the illegal invasion going on right now in our country.

FEMA is calling me a LIAR. They’re claiming my reports that they’ve been giving our money away to illegal migrants is a RUMOR. I’m going to do the unthinkable … I’m going to reveal who my sources are … FEMA.

Horrific reports

… The reports coming out of these towns in Western North Carolina are horrific. The news is not even coming close to catching the true devastation. There are bodies that are floating down the river. Babies. If this is not a wakeup call that our government is not for us, then I don’t know what is. … Pray for Western North Carolina. Don’t believe everything that you’re hearing on the news … At the local hospital in Ashville there are over 900 unidentified bodies. … If you’re able and you can donate, or you can get it in the hands of a real person … There were like 10 different truck drivers who were trying to deliver goods and they all stopped on the way up there and every single tire was slashed. It’s going to be up to us. We cannot count on Uncle Sam. It’s going to be neighbor helping neighbor. … The devastation is nothing like I have ever seen… I cannot fathom the pain and the destruction… Listen to the people who are on the ground, not the news because they don’t know.

Citizens denied aid

“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. 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.“

“We don’t go into areas where the roads are not easily assessible”

We got a notification … Do not donate your time. 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? 

Then they said yesterday: “We don’t go into areas the roads are not easily assessible.” What? You are the disaster relief people. That is your job to go into the areas that are hit by disaster and provide relief. Not to go just to the easy area and sit and wait for the people that are in the disaster area to be able to come to you. … 

Donate to our local churches, because they will make sure the people that need it will get it.

Our Government Serves At The Pleasure Of Everyone Except Americans, Shawn Fleetwood, The Federalist, Oct. 4, 2024.

Right now, an untold number of Americans throughout several southeastern states are still struggling to acquire basic necessities after Hurricane Helene ripped through the region a week ago — and our government is largely indifferent.

Fortunately, many people are donating food, money, and other goods to the survivors, such as clothing, medicine, and shelter. It’s encouraging to see folks voluntarily, almost instinctively, rally to help their neighbors. While their efforts are to be applauded, actions by the state and county governments merit some scrutiny given news reports of what is happening on-scene.
