The government loves to knee Americans ‘ ability to survive, if there is one thing Hurricane Helene has taught us.
When the Category 4 storm made land on Sept. 26, it left a “war area” of carnage in some states. The hill towns dotting Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, in particular, have suffered the brunt of the record-breaking biological hazard. Weeks after the storm, more than 130 people are dead, thousands more are missing, thousands of families are displaced, and thousands are without electricity or battery service.
Commercial media are now trying to portray Helene’s destruction and deaths as a result of the” climate crisis.” In fact, it is the state who is attempting to outlaw the tools that are most effective for problems response, preventing people from getting the help they need.
The caravan traveling across the United States to aid areas in need are n’t made up of Teslas and another lithium-ion battery-powered cars that are prone to explosion when exposed to salt. The fuel-filled airplanes, cars, and heavy equipment usually vilified by natural energy-obsessed officials for generating carbon emissions are the only means the thousands of people stuck in wrecked towns like Asheville, North Carolina may get save supplies, water, and foods.
Similarly, freeing the people trapped by fallen trees likely is n’t happening with a battery-powered, carbon-friendly chainsaw, but a gas-powered one that is not easily compromised by floodwater or debris.
When full authority sites are washed away by heavy thunderstorms and storm surges like Helene’s, one of the best and only ways to clean out or make is to use fuel-burning stoves. The Biden-Harris administration, assisted by the corporate media, recently declared war on gas stoves, a pity for Americans who want to fend off tragedies like this.
Some people looking for a source of warmth might opt for wood-fired cooktops and fireplaces, but federal and state red tape, such as permits, prevent the same from being accomplished. Chopping down local trees to fuel those fires is more difficult.
The best defense against crises-instigated threats like the pack of migrant looters roost in the Volunteer State is a gun with plenty of ammunition. However, the Democrat-led government frequently attempts to encroach on or even strip you of your Second Amendment rights, putting you in grave danger of robbery if you have more money for someone else who is impacted by natural disasters than your life.
Even the masculine grit that the man who climbed 2, 200 feet over 11 miles to check on his stranded parents or the father who trekked through 30 miles of flood debris to walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding is threatened by a regime that is obsessed with demonizing male toughness.
The Biden-Harris administration’s lackadaisical response to the tragedy only proves that when it comes to natural disasters like flood, fire, and ice, Americans ca n’t and should n’t rely on the government and its Potemkin president to do anything about it. Not only are taxpayer-funded agencies and entities actively discouraging volunteers trying to help their friends, neighbors, and countrymen, but they have also reportedly threatened some of them with arrest.
With the tools and resources that the authoritarians in charge of the nation actively try to ban, surviving without power, water, or assistance for days on end is only possible.
