Helene Aftermath
‘The worst I’ve ever seen’: Disinformation chaos hammers FEMA Politico. Determined and disgraceful new excuse for censorship. What issues for residents is that if FEMA is getting aid in to bothered areas. Supposedly false Workforce R noisemaking about efficiency won’t have an effect on the supply of support. What it might damage is FEMA’s status and Kamala’s odds of a win.
Distinction this scapegoating with a report from KLG that Lambert ran yesterday:
My sources don’t have any motive to lie. Maybe some exaggeration however it all appears too prone to me.
FEMA is a charlie foxtrot, no matter its apologists and directors say. Nearly each one who applies for the $750 is denied. For instance, in case you have insurance coverage, no $750 as a result of your benevolent insurance coverage firm pays. Yeah, however for a lot of, solely after being dragged kicking and screaming to chop the examine. An assistant rents her home in rural Georgia. Her losses are actual however as a result of she is a renter, no $200 to switch the farm produce and meat misplaced in her freezer on account of per week with out electrical energy. That’s all she requested for. $200B or no matter for Ukraine however no $200 for her. Some areas nonetheless have no idea when energy will probably be restored. In comparison with the mountains of North Carolina, these are the lucky. That is the message the persons are getting…It’s prone to worsen when Milton slams into Tampa-St. Pete Wednesday evening. Sustained winds again as much as 150 mph with 24 hours to go. This could be a killer.
Truth-checking falsehoods about FEMA funding and Hurricane Helene NPR (furzy). Observe this declare:
As of Sunday, FEMA says it has offered greater than $137 million in help to 6 states within the southeast, together with 7,000 federal personnel, almost 15 million meals, 14 million liters of water, 157 turbines and greater than half 1,000,000 tarps.
$137 million is sofa lint relative to the dimensions of this catastrophe. Lambert additionally factors out he’d count on to see tales about FEMA aid arriving by now, and he has seen nothing on his giant set of feeds. Not that we will show a unfavorable or close to unfavorable, however….
