In a hard-hitting expose, investigative journalist James O'Keefe unveils his inquiry into the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the banner of "FEMA Doesn't Want These People." The first installment of this series released on Wednesday, over two months since Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction in North Carolina.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that FEMA seemed to deliberately neglect homes bearing Trump signs in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. As the storm moved north, victims of Hurricane Helene find themselves still huddled in tents. O'Keefe fired a warning shot to FEMA last week, hinting at his team's diligent work on the ground while Helene's victims brace themselves amid the snow in their tents.
Marni Washington, who ordered relief workers to pass over homes displaying Trump signs in the wake of Hurricane Milton, admitted that this conduct was not an isolated incident. FEMA workers were allegedly instructed to do the same during Hurricane Helene in the Carolinas.
The Biden Administration's exorbitant spending on resettling illegal immigrants has depleted FEMA's resources; meanwhile, American citizens left in the lurch still await assistance.
O'Keefe's investigation sheds light on the havoc wreaked by Hurricane Helene, with destroyed homes, churches, roads, and polluted streams. In North Carolina, the devastated populace, volunteers, and non-profit organization founders shared their struggles with the meticulous journalist.
Volunteers from All Hands and Hearts were seen in protective gear, sifting through the mud beneath damaged homes, with no financial assistance from FEMA. In contrast, the government has pumped billions into NGOs dedicated to housing, feeding, and resettling illegal aliens.
"Sleeping in a tent with my children isn't ideal," said Daily Dow, a Hurricane Helene victim, as she pointed out the flooring they'd already removed and the mold they were busy cleaning. FEMA provided her with only a hotel room, a temporary solution that expires shortly. Yet, help remains elusive on the ground.
Elaborating on the predicament, Savage Freedom founder Adam Smith accused FEMA of functioning exactly as intended, citing its excessive bureaucracy and ill-disguised excuse for inaction. Volunteers from the organization were seen constructing makeshift tents with materials provided by generous donors, not FEMA.
Meanwhile, another resident who witnessed his house being damaged by floodwaters reported feeling sabotaged by FEMA citing permit regulations. It seems their perceived antipathy towards conservative white inhabitants lingers.
The specter of leaking sewer pipes contaminating local rivers and endangering wildlife lingered over the conversation, stirring concerns among local residents.
Shane Zoccole of the faith-based organization Spokes of Hope declared his lack of interest in politics but reiterated the glaring absence of FEMA assistance in the area. All reconstruction work and debris removal were undertaken by volunteers.
The most poignant revelation came when a local resident unearthed human bones amid the storm's wreckage. Green Mountain's Tammy Kelly shared her horror as she showed O'Keefe the remains of a church swept away by the devastating floodwaters. The resident expressed her dismay over FEMA's refusal to provide tents, preferring instead that people sleep in the open.
"Money's tight in this community," said Kelly, battling back tears. "For those of us who've paid taxes all our lives, I'd certainly hoped there'd be more help."
In an unsettling turn, three residents remain missing, adding to the sense of unease in the flooded community. Kelly also presented shoes found discarded along the riverside, suggesting that feet might have been ripped off bodies in the furious currents.
The discovery of human bones prompted a visit from nationally certified Forensic Counselor, Dr. Jessica Pena. The emotional exchange makes for compelling viewing as bones and shoes containing human DNA are scrutinized.
The series finale teases more revelations, as O'Keefe vows to don hidden cameras and talk to federal employees in the next installment. As it stands, the investigation has shone a glaring spotlight on FEMA's response to Hurricane Helene and left many questions unanswered.
