Is FEMA Now Weaponized? Biden Ignores The South’s Agony After Hurricane

Hurricane Helene shellac’s the Southeast, where is FEMA and where were the warnings?

Nothing in the Federal Government appears to be working. Hurricane Helene has hit several Southeast states very hard. Unanticipated floods are everywhere and thousands are missing. Social media is the best way to learn what is going on and who needs help where.

This begs the question of where is the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)? Their national Emergency Operations Center is close to L’Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C. Was it staffed up? Did it give the proper alerts? Was this Hurricane not a priority since it was hitting Red States?

With the Harris Team, no insidious action is off the table. (ColonelRetJohn Substack)

Privately owned helicopters are delivering supplies to stranded victims as the government is “nowhere to be found” after Hurricane Helene demolished the Southeast.

Locals are volunteering their time and money to help Americans in need.

Three key methods used by the Biden/Harris regime to facilitate the trafficking of migrant beggars

First off, let’s highlight the potential scale of demand for the federal, state, city and local benefit system in the US.

From 14 years ago:

Immigration, World Poverty and Gumballs (youtube.com)

“Immigration – Global humanitarian reasons for current U.S. immigration are tested in this updated version of immigration author and journalist Roy Beck’s colorful presentation of data from the World Bank and U.S. Census Bureau. The 1996 version of this immigration gumballs presentation has been one of the most viewed immigration policy presentations on the internet.”

3 billion people globally, back then, who make less than 2 bucks a day. The world population was 7 billion back then, it is now 8 billion.

The UN has played its part in trafficking people from the third world into the US, the EU and the UK.

The UN has the same level of expertise as any group of a few thousand people who have a different view and who seek to impose the will of that group onto the entire world. No elections required, just opinions and a willingness to suffer the indignity of diplomatic immunity, business class flights, food and hotel accommodation in the richest cities/resorts of the world.

“Immigration can never be an effective or significant way to help the suffering of the people of the world”.

The “poor, huddled masses” of the world need to be helped where they live, not by brining them into the US. By trafficking them here, these people desert their home countries and ay solutions they might contribute to and, instead, impoverish the areas where they surface.

Biden-Harris Regime Accused of Exploiting $5 Billion Medicare Fund to Manipulate Election Outcomes

In yet another blatant attempt to secure votes ahead of the 2024 election, the Biden-Harris regime has found itself embroiled in a massive $5 billion Medicare scandal.

The administration’s $5 billion Medicare stabilization program, announced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in July 2024, is part of a three-year demonstration project intended to keep premiums lower for seniors.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has sent an urgent letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ), calling for an investigation into whether the move violates the Hatch Act, which forbids the use of taxpayer funds to influence elections.

“We write to you today seeking additional information on the Biden-Harris Administration’s plan to spend over $5 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies to insurers to offset Medicare premium increases before the November election,” Sen. Paul wrote to Corey Amundson, the Chief of the Public Integrity Section at the DOJ.

“My colleagues and I are concerned that the Biden-Harris Administration is inappropriately using taxpayer funds to mask the defective Medicare Part D policies enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. Given the IRA’s central role in the Biden-Harris Administration’s presidential campaign, these concerns warrant additional investigation.”

It’s no secret that Medicare premiums have skyrocketed, thanks in large part to the IRA’s rushed and poorly designed reforms. In fact, Medicare premiums surged by a staggering 21% in 2023 alone, leaving seniors struggling to afford their prescriptions.

Now, with premiums expected to rise even higher in 2024, the Biden administration’s convenient “solution” has arrived just in time for election season—a move that Paul says smacks of political interference.

The Kentucky senator’s letter goes on to highlight the dubious legality of the administration’s actions.

Mystery Of Upward GDP Revision Solved: You Are All $500 Billion Richer Now According To A Revised Biden Admin Spreadsheet

Something strange happened yesterday when the Bureau of Economic Analysis released the final estimate of Q2 GDP data: as part of the release, Biden’s Dept of Commerce run by Gina Raimondo, which also runs the BEA, reported that GDP in since 2020 had been revised markedly higher (with the exception of H2 2023) …

So what happened?

Recall that about a year ago, questions started to swirl around the record divergence between Gross Domestic Product (GDP, or also known as Gross Domestic Output) and Gross Domestic Income (GDI), which unlike GDP also captures various interest payments, mostly to and from the Federal Reserve.

Ironically, back in September 2023, JPMorgan expected that GDP would catch down to GDI, resulting in a much weaker GDP print. That did not happen, because the Biden admin came up with a last minute sticksave that revised historical data to make it seem the US was stronger than previously thought.

Fast forward to this week, when Goldman was looking at the same gap, and also at the divergence between various GDP components as reported and their revisions, and also expected that historical GDP would be revised much lower (also catching  down to GDI). That too did not happen, because the Biden admin… well, it pretty much did the same thing again.

What did happen, is that not only was GDI revised sharply higher, effectively closing the record divergence between the two series by boosting various interest income assumptions of GDI.

Big Tech-Government Collusion: Biden-Haris Admin, Meta, Google, and Others Launch AI Partnership to Combat “Disinformation” and “Hate Speech”

The current US White House seems to be exploring every possibility that might secure another avenue for what opponents (and quite a few lawmakers) refer to as “collusion” with (Big) Tech.

A new scheme has just been announced, that revolves around the “AI” and “disinformation” buzzwords, and includes the US State Department, Meta, Anthropic, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI.

Looks like quite an “ensemble cast” – or “usual suspects” – right there.

It’s called, Partnership for Global Inclusivity on AI, and it was announced by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken along with a decision to bankroll programs “identifying disinformation using AI” with $3 million.

We obtained a copy of the report for you here.

Biden-Harris FCC ‘expedites’ Soros acquisition of 2nd largest radio company in U.S. ahead of November election

The First Amendment is under attack like never before in American history, with government officials and even media personalities demanding censorship of facts and opinions they don’t like by claiming it is “mis-,” “dis-,” or “mal-information.”

“Mal-information,” by the way, is perhaps the most insidious part of the global censorship narrative being laid down by puppet leaders under the spell of the World Economic Forum and United Nations. This includes the reporting of accurate facts that question and disrupt an official government narrative, whether it be about mRNA injections being “safe and effective,” even when they’re not, pointing out fraudulent election practices or advocating for an end to the bloodbath in Ukraine.

It is in this unprecedented environment that the Harris-Biden administration is having their FCC expedite the sale of 220 radio stations to billionaire globalist George Soros.

Soros is buying a 40% stake in Audacy, which is America’s second-largest radio network totaling more than 220 U.S. stations. The Federal Communications Commission has approved the deal and is in collusion with Soros to help him “expedite” the acquisition right before the presidential election.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, appointed by Donald Trump in 2017, recently had this to say about the transaction during a bearing before a House subcommittee:

“The FCC is not following its normal process for reviewing a transaction. We have established, over a number of years, one way in which you can gert approval from the FCC when you have in excess of 25 percent foreign ownership, which this case does, and is poised to create for the first time, an entirely new shortcut. The FCC has never signed off on a shortcut like this before.”

Can the US be accused of ‘meddling’ in Georgia’s election?

Sixteen years ago, Russia fought a brief war against the Black Sea nation of Georgia. Earlier in September President Joe Biden marked the anniversary, announcing that the United States “remains steadfast in its support of Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders.”

However, to Biden, sovereignty properly understood does not include resisting America’s wishes. He explained that “we remain committed to the Georgian people and their Euro-Atlantic aspirations [emphasis added].” He sharply criticized the “Georgian government’s anti-democratic actions, exemplified by the Kremlin-style ‘foreign agents’ law and Georgian government officials’ false statements, which are inconsistent with EU and NATO membership norms [emphasis added].”

This was further amplified last week when the U.S. announced a raft of sanctions on two Georgian officials and more than 60 individuals in the former Soviet state over human rights abuses and anti-democratic actions — all stemming from the fallout and protests of the government’s passage of a controversial foreign influence law.

“The United States remains deeply concerned by the ongoing anti-democratic actions of the Georgian government, which are incompatible with membership norms of the European Union and NATO,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said Monday.

“In addition to the passage of the so-called ‘foreign influence law,’ we have also seen the Georgian government repeatedly violently crack down on Georgian citizens who protested that law.” Politics has been unsettled since the October 2020 parliamentary election, which the opposition refused to accept despite observers finding it to be basically free and competitive. Although demonstrators hoisted the banner of democracy, Georgia Dream has won three straight elections going back to 2012.

Biden Is Totally Trying to Sabotage the Harris-Walz Campaign

Anointed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris promises “a new way forward,” but Presidentish Joe Biden said today he delegated “everything from foreign policy to domestic policy” to Harris because “as vice president, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do” and everybody with functioning synapses wants to know, “Which is it, bub?”

I’ll pause here a moment to give you time to both marvel at Biden’s subtle undercut of the Harris-Walz campaign but mostly to chuckle at the phrase, “Kamala Harris promises.”

Did you get all that out of your system? Good. Let’s proceed, shall we?

All told, Harris is having a mixed week. On the one hand, bettors at sites like Polymarket and John Stossel’s Election Betting Odds show Harris as a slight favorite, and so does poll analyst Nate Silver. If you want to know how the least-liked vice president in polling history suddenly gained such likability, Elon Musk (an actual rocket scientist) has you covered.

“Manufactured by the media.”

On the other hand, she’s still an embarrassment every time she speaks, and her pudding-brained boss just slipped a shiv between her ribs — on The View of all places. For progressive women, that show serves as sacred ground.

During the 2004 presidential race between George W Bush and John Kerry, Evan Thomas, the assistant managing editor of Newsweek, said the media “wants Kerry to win.” He continued, “They’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic, and all. There’s going to be this glow about them that some, is going to be worth, collectively, the two of them, that’s going to be worth maybe 15 points.”

EXPLOSIVE CENSORSHIP DOCUMENTS – America First Legal Releases Complete Internal Facebook Onboarding Documents Used to Train CDC Employees on How to Censor the American Public

Today, America First Legal released additional documents from its litigation against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), exposing the complete onboarding documents Facebook used to train CDC employees on their government censorship portal to block free speech on “Covid & Vaccine Misinformation.” 

Many Americans remember the unprecedented level of censorship by the Biden-Harris Administration in 2021. Unelected public health officials constantly revised their guidance, leading to repeating something that was “true” a week ago could suddenly get an account suspended. The Biden-Harris Administration’s clumsy and heavy-handed attempts to keep up with the rapidly evolving information environment entailed by a global pandemic gave all Americans a stark reminder of why the First Amendment was listed first.

These documents reveal how Facebook, on the heels of extreme pressure from the Biden-Harris White House (including from Rob Flaherty, a current senior Harris Campaign staffer) to remove specific posts, responded:

  • Facebook created a new “end-to-end workflow” so that government officials could submit links for removal from Facebook;
  • Facebook only gave access to the portal to approved government and law enforcement personnel;
  • The new portal dramatically increased the efficiency of the censorship machine by allowing up to twenty links at a time to be referred for censoring;
  • By moving from email chains to a Facebook-hosted portal, the new system also made it harder for organizations like AFL to provide oversight to individual censorship requests;
  • Each censorship request automatically generated a ticket number so that the government could track if Facebook complied with its censorship demands;  
  • The documents further show how Facebook explained precisely what content it would remove and what it needed from the CDC in order to censor certain narratives within the bounds of its “community standards.” 

This release comes on the heels of recently released documents from that lawsuit, which exposed the United Kingdom’s influence on the Biden-Harris Administration’s censorship policy, and Zuckerberg’s admission that Facebook only engaged in censorship after extreme pressure from the Biden-Harris White House. 

The Intercept previously released excerpts from this slide deck, but AFL is now publishing the entire deck for the first time.

The Stage Is Being Set For The Greatest Period Of Chaos In U.S. History

If chaos is what they intended, everything is coming together beautifully.  Major wars threaten to throw the entire planet into a state of turmoil, criminals are running wild in our streets, and in a little over a month the outcome of the presidential election is likely to cause an unprecedented explosion of anger.  If all of this wasn’t bad enough, our politicians have been allowing millions of desperate people to come pouring over our wide open borders.  Some of these “new arrivals” belong to international criminal gangs, and members of these gangs are being arrested for violent acts, theft, drug dealing and sex trafficking all over America.  Other “new arrivals” belong to terror groups in the Middle East, and you would think that this would be a major national security concern.  Russians have also been crossing the border illegally, as have very large numbers of military-age Chinese men.  The stage is being set for the greatest period of chaos in U.S. history, and this should deeply alarm all of us.

Since Joe Biden has been in the White House, we have witnessed a spike in migration that is absolutely unprecedented in our history.

Millions of people have been allowed in, and once they get into this country they can go wherever they want.

Most of them have come in through the southern border, but what most people don’t realize is that migration over the northern border is also wildly out of control…

There has been growing attention from northern-state lawmakers in recent years over increased attempted illegal border crossings as migration from Latin America grows due to economic and political conditions.

In 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered almost 190,000 individuals attempting to cross from Canada to the United States. That’s almost seven times more than in 2021.

Unfortunately, the number of people coming in through the northern border has just continued to rise in 2024…

This year, the number of illegal crossings along the northern border is hitting record levels, and northern New York, with its proximity to Montreal and Toronto, is the epicenter of the influx. In August alone, the Border Patrol reported 19,000 migrant encounters along the border with Canada, with nearly half entering through New York.

It is so easy to come across the northern border.

The U.S. border with Canada is 5,525 miles long, and there aren’t many border agents covering it.
