There’s something nefarious going on in the mountains of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, where hurricane victims are being left to die; stories emerge of bodies washing up in rural areas

Peloni:  This is an unbelievable story.  How this is not being more widely reported is disturbing.

FEMA is a fraud. The Federal ‘Emergency’ Management Agency is ‘nowhere to be found’ in hurricane-ravaged areas where decomposing bodies are being discovered amid the rubble and debris.

There is a heart-wrenching story developing in the mountans and hills of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, a story that is not being told in the mainstream corporate media.

Stories of starving, dehydrated people being left to die. And bodies, lots of bodies, washing up in rural areas, many of them unrecognizable.

One such story comes from Nate and Katie Kramer, a husband and wife in Parrotsville, Tennessee (Cocke County), just east of Newport, Tennessee, located roughly midway between Knoxville, Tennessee, and Asheville, North Carolina. This area was inundated with 20-plus inches of rain pouring over a dammed up river compliments of Hurricane Helene.

Nate Kramer related in a YouTube video his heartbreaking experience of finding a body Tuesday that had washed up near the couple’s small farming homestead.

Fast-forward to the 3:33 mark and listen to this emotional and tragic story.

There’s almost no coverage of the extent of the suffering taking place right now in the mountains of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, where the victims of Hurricane Helene are still without power one week after the storm hit and dumped a record amount of rain, and now the food and water is running out.

Large swaths of Georgia are also still without power and cell service. People are thirsty, some are beginning to starve to death. They have no cellphones or means of communicating with the outside world.

The federal government has done nothing to help the immediate situation. Literally nothing. Despite what you hear them say in interviews with the corporate media, FEMA has not shown up, as the situation grows more desperate by the day.

But there are private individuals and groups who are trying to rescue these desperate Americans.

On Wednesday night, broadcast journalist Brannon Howse interviewed three private search-and-rescue operators who are affiliated with a nonprofit organization called Aerial Recovery.

The group has been working in Florida as well as in North Carolina doing search and rescue work following the devastation left by Hurricane Helene.

Howse was joined Wednesday night by Charlie Tevo, Jonathan Howard and Zev Hadley, three members of Aerial Recovery specializing in helicopter and other types of daring rescues.

Jonathan Howard said he had been working in North Carolina three days and was getting “very upset” about what he was seeing. He and his crew were being denied access from government officials, and the lack of government support he found on the ground was astonishing.

But this is not just a matter of not showing up. It’s even worse than that.

Those government officials who are on the ground are working to prevent private rescues from taking place.

There are stories from eye witnesses of bodies being found washed into gullies, ditches and ravines.

Dozens, if not hundreds, of unidentified bodies are reportedly sitting in a morgue at an Asheville hospital.

If not for Zev Hadley and his helicopters, even more would be dead.

Hadley and his crew, including a pilot identified only as “Mark,” rescued an 11-day-old baby earlier this week in dramatic fashion.

Here’s a clip from Howse’s exclusive interview with the three men. You can watch the full interview here. The men share their story of rescuing the starving and dehydrated infant and flying it to an Asheville hospital to receive life-saving medical treatment.

“If I did not have Zev’s helicopter that baby would have been dead, because we just did not have the government’s assistance,” said Jonathan Howard.

At one point in the interview, the men explained how the federal government is actually impeding the rescue efforts (this conversation begins at roughly the 6:38 mark).

“The federal government, none of them are there. And the county officials, they don’t want us in there. We actually were turned away from Lake Lure and Chimney Rock, and we were turned away by the police. We also had a news crew in there from a national news agency and they were not allowed in. So there’s criminal activity going on.”

It also must be said that this catastrophe is taking place is Trump country. Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, upstate South Carolina and parts of Georgia, the very areas hit hardest by the hurricane, are overwhelmingly voting for Trump in the November 5 presidential election.

But if your house is destroyed and you are literally trying to survive in an atmosphere with little or no food, water and shelter, and your cell service is out, will you be thinking about voting? What if you are fine but you haven’t heard from a family member since the storm hit? You are searching for them, wondering if you will find them dead or alive. Will you be thinking about voting? I don’t think so.

So we have to wonder if this is not only a humanitarian tragedy being left unattended by the federal government but whether it may also be a concentrated voter suppression effort.

The election is now just one month away. And I’m sure more facts will become available in the days and weeks ahead that will shed more light on whether our worst suspicions turn out to be true.

Aerial Recovery is raising money to continue its search and rescue operations in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The best way to donate to this particular effort is to go to Instagram and type in “Aerial Revovery” in the search bar. Their page will pop up with a donate button.

FEMA is now saying it doesn’t have enough money to make it though the hurricane season. The U.S. government is giving away billions of dollars to foreign nations, and to house, feed and educate illegal aliens, but they have nothing for Americans dying in storm-ravaged areas of the Southeast.

While the administration sends billions more to Ukraine, Vice President Kamala Harris has offered a laughable $750 in FEMA relief for hurricane victims. Watch video link below:

So, one week into the worst hurricane to hit America since Katrina in 2005, here’s the running tally showing the federal government’s priorities.

The Biden-Harris administration has approved:

·       $8.7 billion in military aid for Israel

·       $8 billion in military aid for Ukraine

·       $567 million in military support for Taiwan

·       $750 one-time emergency assistance payment for American victims of Hurricane Helene.

Let that sink in. And let it serve as inspiration for your own preparation plans should your area be the next to be hit with a disaster, whether man-made or an act of God in nature.
