North Carolina hurricane recovery team relocated amid threat of ‘armed militia

It may be time to rethink the idea that the Government response to the latest round of Hurricanes have been slow and inadequate.

The truth is that dispite the Governments best efforts; roving groups of white nationalists, in to two trucks, have been threatening FEMA workers and forcing them to flee the impacted areas.

North Carolina hurricane recovery team relocated amid threat of ‘armed militia’

Government emergency workers in the US responding to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina were relocated over the weekend amid concerns that “armed militia” could pose a threat to their safety.

According to an email obtained by the Washington Post, a US Forest Service official sent out a message warning that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) “has advised all federal responders Rutherford County, NC, to stand down and evacuate the county immediately”.

The message said that soldiers with the national guard “had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying there were out hunting FEMA”.


The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that white nationalist groups, including Patriot Front, had joined recovery efforts in Florida and in the Carolinas. An X post from western North Carolina read: “We in Patriot Front are here to help out the local communities"

A Guardian report from 2020 described people in Corbett, Oregon, being stopped at armed civilian checkpoints and asked to identify themselves during wildfires, sparking a debate about vigilante activity and how law enforcement should respond

Anti-government sentiment and disinformation have spread far beyond Appalachia, with the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, accused of echoing misinformation for political gain. Some Republicans have even claimed the US government can control the weather, triggering widespread condemnation, especially by local Republican figures.

The Guardian

This is quote a compelling story; it probably could be turned into a movie. The US is over run by white nationalists and the US government is unable to stop them.

This could also be a built in excuse for all aspects of Government inadequacy. Why put in the hard work to make life better for the country; when all you need to do is claim that hords of white nationalists are spreading disinformation about you and stopping your progress at every turn.

There was something going around a few days ago about SpaceX and Starlink. And how FEMA is supposedly sabotaging their aid there.

Good that we are finally hearing the truth. What a nice coincidence that this has happened now, now we have the explanation. It is the fault of the White National Socialists, who after all have something to do with Trump. So what The Guardian writes must be true and correct.

sarcasm.

It could have happened, of course, but it seems too soap opera-like to me.

So the FBI (Patriot front) showed up but FEMA needs an excuse for their absence? No evidence here, hearsay unidentified source. Federal incompetence is well known and the people affected by this disaster are getting help from their fellow citizens. The inclusion of Donald Trump in this article shows it's another political hit piece. A typical cow chip has more substance.

To quote Dave Chappell, “MAGA Hats?!?”.

Curious if this will turn out to be actually "hunting Fema"

Or, Trying to find a Fema rep (since they have been so scarce) while protecting our homes from looters/vandals ect.

My money is on option 2.

But keep stirring that pot dear government, with more excuses to get rid of guns.

The 15 counties of the People's Republic of Pineland

What's next white nationalists broke into HAARP in Alaska and they made it storm excessively in the Carolinas, flooding the area and freeing the white nationalists to terrorize throughout Western Carolina.

Ironic how the Department of Homeland Security doesn't mention a nationalistic threat much less a white one by name anywhere throughout its 2024 US threat assessment.

It's also mighty convenient after they ignored parts of the disaster area for 2 weeks and now have an excuse for not going there.

that said Ive heard reports of some areas being hostile to any intruders Federal or otherwise

I saw this earlier.

Smells like BS to me.

There's tons of video coming out of the region, and none so far supports their assertions here.

This is pretty sad. FEMA is there to help people with disaster relief. But they are getting threatened by some idiot that are believing all the nonsense going around.

www.wbtv.com...

The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a man and charged him with going armed to the terror of the public after security threats prompted a pause in some FEMA operations around western North Carolina.

William Jacob Parsons, 44, from Bostic was arrested after dispatchers were told a white male holding an assault rifle and making comments about harming FEMA employees.

At this point this just feels like a misinformation campaign by some foreign government to make an already bad situation worse. Or by certain elements in our own government to make the current administration look bad. Probably both.

The news comes after FEMA workers across Hurricane Helene’s disaster zone in western North Carolina have been targeted with misinformation and rumors about the federal government’s recovery operations in the area.

Also seems like a lone perp.

In a press release, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said reports of militia units were unfounded and that Parsons is accused of acting alone.

Sadly it’s only going to get worse the more desperate they get here in the next few weeks remaining before the election.
They try any angle and nonstory to hide the fact that Harris numbers are dropping, Walz is taking gay kids to concerts and gay bars, and Harris just got caught plagiarizing her own book about crime. 🤡

without looking into it at all my first thought was the shine runners chasing off the revenuers.

I dont doubt some people have run them off, after waiting a week or more in some areas to get people on the ground id be a little hostile as well.

Also one an area has returned to a semblance of normalcy while being cut off, they probably dont want the fed messing with the infrastructure they have set up.

No way! Not two whole trucks! It’s a literal battalion!

Those damn white nationalists stole all the money I had saved up for my taxes next year too.

I'm wondering if TWO pick-ups full of mountain folk had any luck at all finding a single FEMA critter. They are scarce as hen's teeth around here! (SC)

However, we did get a text from FEMA saying they will put us up in a hotel, all expenses paid. They also said the hotels are on alert for our call for reservations.

I just want my roof fixed...

But..., Staying on the coast near my sister and first cousins is an idea we entertained...
