I am operating on the assumption that some readers want information beyond the sanitized and 'approved' versions that most mainstream media publishes.

My view is, the political party affiliation of any Govt officials who may be preventing or obstructing needed assistance is irrelevant. This is about people, tragedy and reality.

Thanks. The reports I am seeing from friends in NC are horrific. They are looking for trained cadaver dogs.
Send donations to Samaritans Purse. Not the Red Cross.

Elon Musk the epitome of providing factual information..................................

Real people are concerned about all the conspiracy theories!


A Republican senator in the North Carolina legislature has issued a public plea for people to stop spreading conspiracy theories about the disaster recovery efforts in areas ravaged by flooding from Hurricane Helene.
In a Thursday afternoon Facebook post, state Sen. Kevin Corbin, who represents the state’s westernmost area, asked his followers for a favor: “Will you all help STOP this conspiracy theory junk that is floating all over Facebook and the internet about the floods in WNC.”

Corbin listed several examples: “FEMA is stealing money from donations, body bags ordered but government has denied, bodies not being buried, government is controlling the weather from Antarctica, government is trying to get lithium from WNC, stacks of bodies left at hospitals, and on and on and on.”

The conspiracy theories and misinformation about the federal government’s response to the disaster have gotten so out of control that the Federal Emergency Management Agency created an entire page on its website, “Hurricane Helene: Rumor Response,” aimed at countering unverified claims circulating online.
