this is the reality the tv won't tell you. fema ain't your friend or helpmate; 


As Hurricane Milton has just been downgraded into a post-tropical cyclone and left at least 10 people killed and three million people in the dark as of press time, desperate victims of Hurricane Helene are still waiting for the Biden-Harris administration's financially depleted Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to realize that they need its help.

Americans from Florida to North Carolina continue to deal with the devastating consequences of Helene, which is considered the deadliest hurricane to hit the U.S. since Katrina. Unlike Hurricane Katrina, which received non-stop coverage on cable news for weeks, with primetime anchors like Anderson Cooper visiting on location covering stories of human tragedy and government incompetence, Helene's aftermath has received far less coverage.

According to analysts, news about the horrifying damage of Helene has just proliferated on social media. What makes it worse is that there was a lack of government assistance and private efforts from private individuals were more evident.

An account on X even exposed FEMA's instruction to Mission Hospital, a private medical institution, to recover the bodies who were killed because of Hurricane Helene, and even expand the number of fatalities. FEMA people said that this is because they could no longer assist in this operation as their officials are too busy helping illegal migrants at the border. 

"Picked up a flight of pediatric medical supplies that were brought in and are going to North Asheville," the woman said. "We were sitting in the private portion of the airport and we got to overhear an awful lot. There was a lot of chatter among the army pilots, the navy pilots, hospital representatives."

According to the woman, a FEMA executive told people from the hospital that "it is going to be the morgue center for body recovery of all the fatalities of Helene.".......more.........
