Information coming into me shows that FEMA is not helping like they should in NC.
Or
I have been told first hand reports that FEMA is hindering relief efforts for hurricane Helene. All I can say is to remember who told the truth and who covered for the government when the dust settles.
Keep in mind that the death toll is much higher than what is being reported. Also keep in mind that some reports are misinformation or disinformation. Use your critical thinking skills and watch videos from reputable sources to make your own intelligence.

What you have here are two military veterans; one I know retired, the other I’m not sure about his time in service. One is real; the other a sellout. I myself am retired military. Do not trust every person because of their service; discern the truth.
Na , it’s just what he is seeing in his AO…..he just got there…and he is a good guy…so give him a chance here…
Why is Nc scout considered a sell out?
So David, is carpenter also a troll? Here is why i ask. If someone accuses someone else should they not be prepared for the conversation? Why is one considered a “sell out?” Do we live in a free market or not?
I made several runs of medical supplies to Swannanoa this past week. Will do more this week. The few times I have seen anything blocked off is when they have been running cadaver dogs near a creek. They seem to be doing it section by section.
Been waived through all the off ramps when they see all the boxes. Never once even talked too
Heard lots of reports of FEMA being a pain in various ways, have not experienced it myself.
Local fire rescue, LEO , and tons of regular people are working their butts off doing whatever they can to help. That part has restored my faith that there are still lots of good citizens out there.
If you have a skill set and can help go do your part if you have the time.
Radio station 99.9fm is acting as a command and control for people up there asking for help and offering help.
God speed and be safe.
NC Scout -- “Dispelling some rumors & BS I’ve seen -- nobody is stopping anyone bringing in supplies here.” -Fallacy of composition-
Attended our monthly pastors meeting tonight and several pastors said they had sent supplies to Augusta and to NC. Yes, some of the people who took the supplies said that they were personally hindered by FEMA.
I believe them.
I forgot to mention that one sheriff in NC told the people from one church in our county that if FEMA gave them any trouble about delivering aid that he would arrest the people from FEMA.
I suspect that FEMA is hamstringing efforts…where and when they can. But they can’t be everywhere at once. So I’m sure some people have been able to make it through and deliver relief goods. Doesn’t mean that the Feds aren’t actively hampering others. Just that they aren’t omnipotent….yet.
He should have phrased that differently. Instead of implying everyone saying there is FEMA shenanigans is lying, he should have just said he didn’t see any in his AO.
He can’t be everywhere at once, and neither can they.
Correct
“Also keep in mind that some reports are misinformation or disinformation. Use your critical thinking skills and watch videos from reputable sources to make your own intelligence.”
i would think both sides are happening to a degree. You are going to witness both. Emotions and chaos are always involved. Many gravitate towards believing the worst even though we see good taking place.
YES!!! Propaganda comes from both sides, and does equal harm. Impartial facts, are all that is needed.
Let the other side lie all they want, Truth is our ultimate weapon.
The Tactical Hermit has a post about a Green Beret who has seen all kinds of trouble from FEMA while doing disaster relief in NC. His mantra has become “Who’s FEMA?”. Apropos at the least.
THEY generate lies to put out telling how bad THEY are, lies THEY can debunk, thereby diminishing the veracity of Real criticism.
