The US government prioritizes foreign entities over their own citizens. President Joe Biden and his handlers have pledged over $17 BILLION to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel in the past week alone. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has already gone on record to tell American hurricane victims that they should not expect any additional resources from the federal government. “We’ve given everything that we have,” Biden unsympathetically said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky abruptly visited America ahead of the election to beg for additional aid before the end of the federal fiscal year on September 30. He walked away with over $8 billion, including $5.6 billion in weapons and $2.4 billion worth of aid. Joe Biden enacted the Presidential Drawdown Authority, which allowed him to draw additional weapons from stockpiles that were meant to help allies in an emergency. He has used this countless times but most recently pledged $375 million in military supplies for Ukraine.
Not to be outdone, Israel received $8.7 billion from the United States in the past week. The package includes $5.2 billion to secure Israel’s air defense systems and $3.5 billion for essential wartime procurement. Incredible that the US government can pledge billions to secure the Iron Dome while completely ignoring its own borders.
Our Commander in Chief has sent about 3,000 troops to the Middle East, according to the Pentagon. There are already 40,000 soldiers positioned in the region, although Kamala Harris insisted during the debate that this marked the first time that US soldiers have not been deployed to foreign wars.
Then President Joe Biden approved $567 million in defense support for Taiwan on Sunday as countless states were being swept away by Hurricane Helene. Let’s involve America in another war as the nation is distracted and grappling with tragedy. The specifics regarding this package remain vague, but rest assured it is moving the US in the neocon’s intended direction.
Imagine if these resources were invested domestically. This is a mere fraction of what the federal government has provided to these three nations and will continue to provide so long as a neocon remains in power. We have seen this happen countless times with other natural disasters at home, such as fires in Maui, where the people received a small one-time payment of $700 after losing absolutely everything. The government no longer needs to pretend to care about its citizens as people continue to vote for AMERICA LAST policies.

Everything about the state of failed non-response in WNC makes sense when you honestly “look” at this video. Folks, I’m not kidding.
Maybe it’s just me, but it just seems odd to see people in leadership reading from a teleprompter during an extreme crisis. Both North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and DEI hire Health and Human Services Secretary, Cody Kinsley, literally read prepared remarks from a teleprompter while holding a press conference. Together with other officials they outline the latest updates in WNC Hurricane Helene rescue and recovery operations.
North Carolina DOT is reporting at lease 425 roads remain fully closed and likely many more are compromised. Communication into and out of the region is not nearly good enough to make any quantification of problem areas possible. Several communities are still unreachable unless by air. WATCH:
.
Seriously. If you want to see DEI in action, watch the guy at 23:20. This is like something out of a cheap Hollywood version. Unreal. I had NO IDEA North Carolina was this far gone.

In the past 36 hours information to understand the context of devastation in Western North Carolina/East Tennessee has started to slowly come out. Today, we hope more families are able to contact their loved ones, as the number of missing persons continues to rise.
As communication lines start to open up, consider this thread an open discussion link for any information about the isolated impact zone. If you are in the region, let us know how you are doing. Tens-of-thousands remain trapped and isolated.
Thousands of rescue and recovery workers are now arriving just outside the area as officials attempt to patch together a way for relief efforts to reach impacted communities. Most mountain roads and bridges have failed or become severely compromised. Stay safe. Our entire CTH community is united in prayer and support.
Below is a solid representation of status for multiple families.
One Story: “My parents are ok but completely trapped. Yesterday, I hiked up to check on them. Brain spew coming; I’m still processing it all and was just locked in on go-mode yesterday.
Still not having heard from my parents in 48 hours, I was drowning in worry. My parents live in an absolute gem of the NC mountains — the Little Switzerland, Spruce Pine, Burnsville area — halfway between Asheville and Boone. Under normal circumstances, it’s pleasantly very isolated.
Little did I know that up there, Helene has demolished roads, homes and utility networks. **This area is completely cut off from resources in every direction.** I tried multiple routes to drive up but had to settle on parking in Marion at the base of a closed road (Hwys 221/226) and hiking 11 miles and 2,200 feet to find my parents thankfully ok but surrounded by devastation. I have never been so relieved to see anyone ok.
Crews weren’t even close yesterday. I can’t tell you how many failing roads and deep mudslides I had to cross, how many fallen trees I had to take off my backpack for and navigate through. While hiking up 226A, I met multiple people trapped by devastation in both directions of the highway.
In this part of the mountains with steep terrain rolling off the Blue Ridge Parkway, not only did water rise, it RAGED to tear up roads, earth and homes. Then, the winds (I’m certain tornados in some places) have brought down up to half the tree canopy.
I’m still processing it all. I’ve never seen anything like it. Power is a couple weeks out. I cannot fathom how long it will take DOT to repair the curvy roads that hug steep mountainsides with the most amazing views. Most of all, I want my parents to have the same basic needs they always provided me — food, water, shelter (house is mostly ok) and the ability to explore! But they can’t even leave their home right now. The steep part of their gravel road has braided channels only 18″ wide but up to 5′ deep from rushing water.
It’s just a waiting game now. If you are or you have family in the mountains, I feel for you. Know that crews are chipping away.”

Perhaps anticipating that a political administration will drag heels and deflect funds, according to press secretary Karolin Leavitt, President Trump has authorized a GoFundMe campaign to assist victims of Hurricane Helene.
GoFundMe – “President Donald J. Trump has launched this GoFundMe campaign as an official response for MAGA supporters to offer their financial assistance to their fellow Americans impacted by Hurricane Helene. With so many across the Southeastern U.S. facing challenges after the storm, President Trump is on the ground in communities to see the aftermath firsthand. All donations will be directed to help those most affected by Hurricane Helene. Any level of generosity will go a long way for your fellow Americans who are suffering.”

It is day #4 in the generally unexpected worst effect impact zone from Hurricane Helene. The area west of Black Mountain, North Carolina, through the eastern portion of Tennessee is facing a major crisis that continues to unfold.
After three days of almost no communication from the region outside what the private sector and social media could put together, North Carolina governor Roy Cooper finally said, “the catastrophic devastation to western North Carolina is like nothing we have ever seen.” Damage to roads, bridges, highways and all infrastructure in the impact zone is extreme. Many areas remain cut-off as the roads and bridges have been destroyed.
Helene’s impacts are severe in parts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia. However, the Eastern TN/Western Carolina region took the hardest hit as the massive flooding has destroyed towns and literally cut-off the primary access roads and interstates needed to get into the region.
Boone, North Carolina is near many of the worst hit communities and also the headquarters of Franklin Graham’s group Samaritan’s Purse. The orange shirts that show up in almost all areas of severe national disasters. Samaritan’s Purse does a phenomenal job of assistance and staged recovery, and this disaster unfolded right in their back yard.
Multiple private sector groups and individuals have rushed to assist as the state and federal government seem incapable of responding due to the region facing a communication blackout. In addition to the loss of power, cell towers, phone lines, fiber optic cable lines, and satellite receivers in the area have been destroyed. As a result, it took a long time for groups to realize the significance of the problem.
While aide is needed throughout many areas in the southeast U.S, the red circled impact zone is in the worst shape because access to get vitally needed resources, supplies and aid to them is very limited. Several communities remain completely cut-off and are accessible only by helicopter.
I-40 eastbound out of Tennessee is closed as the roads have washed out. I-26 is closed in key areas due to bridge collapses. The North Carolina Dept. of Transportation continues to say, “all roads in Western NC should be considered closed,” even the big ones. Rural, small mountain paths and a few state roads are the only way to get assistance into the area. Thankfully, as we enter day #4, people now realize the scale of the problem.
Folks, we just finished dropping off another shipment of material in Buncombe County. Thanks to your donations, their warehouse is no longer empty.

This is an unfolding crisis of unfathomable proportions. It’s not just the problem of destruction, and in some cases entire towns gone, but also a problem of reaching them to help. A few videos for context below.
CTH coordinated communication resources into the area two days ago to join up with Franklin Graham’s group. People have asked for advice on donations. This is a hard question for this crisis because the big industrial type of relief efforts doesn’t seem to be effective yet. The best on-the-ground support is coming from ordinary people, Youtubers, podcasters, storm chasers and small independent groups; just plain boots on the ground folks responding to what is happening. Many links exist in the comment section on prior posts on this effort. God love em’.
For a large organizational support, I would suggest Samaritans Purse. They will stay around long after the media stops caring.
This next video is a great example of what relief workers literally face when trying to reach people.
Entire roads in North Carolina are washed out and people are without a way to get out of their driveways, no power, little to no communication, AND OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING NOTHING. OUR MEDIA IS BARELY ACKNOWLEDGING THIS DISASTER. Our country is like a ship lost at sea… pic.twitter.com/CtF78W3sUJ
…”Greetings Treepers, Just evacuated out of area North of Asheville. Up in Va now. Glad to have some creature comforts and my family and friends are all ok. Here’s what I saw happening:
We have had zero communication for 48 hours. We includes citizens, fire dept, 911, rescue, police, troopers, emts,etc. Zero cell phone or land lines. Apparently viper is the only communication and only one channel was available. I’m not sure what has led to this issue but it the single biggest failure so far. This was confirmed at local fire dept. Finally had intermittent cell service around 11am today
Power is slowly coming on. Local Duke and French Broad co op guys were crushing it. They were heroes. Easy areas are coming online. Hard hit areas where trees or floods took out infrastructure are going to take some time. Duke guys I saw today were first organized crew helping
Water is going to be the huge issue. If you have a well and power you’ll be ok; if you are on municipal services it’s going to be a long haul. So many water infrastructure systems wiped out. It’s great to have electricity, it’s impossible to thrive without clean water. This is a slow rolling disaster getting ready to rear its ugly head and unfortunately the mainstream media won’t cover it because the footage won’t be sensational.
Food wise some stocked up a whole lot of people didn’t. Same with gas. Here’s where it is going to start getting crazy. There’s only one sufficient highway into the Asheville area, I 26w. I didn’t see much rolling into town as we drove out. Unless the Calvary is massing somewhere, there is nowhere near the sufficient resources coming into that area. I hope I’m wrong but it’s setting up a situation where people are going to move into desperation soon.
Glad to reply to any other questions. Local am radio really helped. After about 36 hours they were the lifeline for many of us. My family and I are amateur preppers. We would have done fine with our resources if we had stayed. I was amazed at how many were WAY under prepared. Really sad. Hope to head back in a few days. I’ll post an update if a service is available. (link)
