The Land Grab Post-Helene Is Only Part of the Story
There is something so big going on even many seasoned REAL journalists are missing it while some CJs have not
By now, many are aware of what is under the surface of both Asheville and Chimney Rock - if not, you’re about to find out. If you are aware, and have more information to share, please do so in the comments and please be sure you provide a link that sources the information you are sharing. The purpose of this post is to provide a perspective of just what is going on and allow you to gain an insight into just what is coming down the pike (figuratively speaking).
There is also the matter that Hurricane Helene was NOT a natural event - see our videos below. And from the look of things, Hurricane Milton is far from natural either.
2 Things You Need to Know
Two things you need to learn and it doesn’t matter whether you care or not as the future of your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren is at stake.
The future of our country is at stake with November’s election - and this isn’t even on the ballot.
But you have been experiencing '“it” since Friday, the 27th of September with Hurricane Helene
If you’re scratching your head now, you won’t be by the end of this post.
U.S. and China Announce Being Prepared for War in 2027
You may want to bookmark this post as there are a lot of references to other sites and substacks. Substack has not yet provided the editing ability to open in a new tab or window so sometimes you will be bumped out of this page and if not familiar with how to navigate through your history, you may have a bit challenge getting back here.
To understand as well as get a good grasp on the fiasco happening in North Carolina, eastern TN, as well as Georgia, you will need a bit of history and an overview of the value of what is being protected.
But it goes WAY beyond hurricane Helene - as you will see with this post, Helene was just a means to an end while damning any lives affected.
History, when true, provides us exposure to the past and direction for the future - it enables discernment on what proper corrective actions to take, even actions that will protect what we have now.
We use the word protected as the government is doing everything it can to abandon people in the Appalachians - they are left to fend for themselves at EVERY level of life, many have not eaten nor had water in days.
The Appalachians are a very hearty people - they will survive despite Mayorkas, Harris, Biden, and Tampon Tim - but not without going through a lot of pain.
If anything, this administration of clowns has unified the people of the USA, including waking up a lot of Democrats as to just how pathetic the Democrat party has become in the last 6 decades.
Also, the MSM proves yet again to be a huge failure and disappointment in whatever they call reporting (more like tabloid news).
We are only discovering through volunteer responders and boots-down CJs that there are dead bodies strung along treetops and hanging from branches, naked crying children roaming around, dead bodies floating down the river, stuck on bridge abutments, while the FEMA agents are holed up in hotels getting drunk (watch them deny this - there have been a LOT of eyes who have seen this).
The MSM even had the gall to plagiarize a video and claim it was their recording of a rescue conducted by a volunteer rescuer who originated from Florida.
We’ll get into the details throughout this post - it is a long one and may not be the only one.
All the posts concerning Hurricane Helene and the following disaster recovery, as well as the rebuild of the areas, will be tagged with #Helene and a link will be available on the side to list all these posts.
Now, more on the background and history of what is causing this fiasco - we HIGHLY suggest reading or listening with your full attention as this will be the foundation of this and future posts concerning #Helene (the following button will open in the Britannica Encyclopedia) and the important role ultra quartz plays with semiconductors…

A Highly Valued Element Desired by the U.S. Government is Found in Western North Carolina
Besides the need for lithium to be war-ready by 2027, EVs are taking a good chunk of our need for lithium - and one of the major deposits of lithium is found in China.
While China dominates the global lithium-ion battery supply chain, including the processing of minerals, the US is working to reduce its reliance on foreign supplies.
The Biden administration’s infrastructure bill has allocated billions of dollars to boost American processing of minerals needed for batteries.
In summary, the US currently imports most of its lithium from Argentina and Chile, but efforts are underway to develop domestic sources, particularly in Nevada and North Carolina.
The government is also investing in initiatives to promote sustainable and domestic lithium mining and recycling.
Biden has even targeted $3 Billion to the battery industry…
A company in North Carolina, Piedmont Lithium, has had a tough go of it since starting in 2020 - the company’s plan to launch one of the first big new lithium mines in decades, and only the second operational lithium mine in the U.S. at present, has already fallen behind schedule.
Construction was meant to be underway by 2020.
As of May 2022, it has yet to apply for all of the permits it needs to break ground.
Enter Hurrican Helene…
That would be a wild Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc fallacy if it weren’t for one event - Lahaina, Maui.
What is happening during disaster recovery in the tri-state area of western NC, eastern, TN, and northern GA is way too familiar.
Thankfully, nearly a week after Helene hit, Sheriffs in MANY counties are telling FEMA to either back off or face arrest - the very same thing the contractors for FEMA as well as FEMA themselves have been telling the citizen rescue recovery teams.
