Crisis Update - Hurricanes, Wars & Winds Of Change
Native people abandoned for conquest at home & abroad
Hurricane Helene hit Florida, Carolinas and Tennessee
Food producing areas, orchards flooded, livestock lost.
Gov’s emergency power grab produces… no help
Why do UN/Gov power grabs never yield results?
Except more money and authority — there’s the rub
And don’t you mention geo-engineering!

Homeless residents of the Carolinas hardly needed to be told they'd been battered by the climate. Yet Joe Biden could not resist a barb....
He told the State Emergency Operations Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, that climate change was to blame. And anyone did not agree was "brain-dead." He'd seen it coming and had alerted officials.
So why the failed response?
"Climate change" it seems, is code for doing nothing. "Denier" is code for blaming the victim.
Who, after all, had denied anything? Except the tiresome or tireless few who point out that geo-engineering has been used since at least WW2 on domestic and adversarial populations, like Lynmouth, Devon, when "RAF rainmakers 'caused 1952 flood'. [1]
Serious questions, for serious people: Governments increasingly make policy based on computer models. So why is it that computer models fail to capture the impending threat of hurricanes?
And if the technology exists to magnify storms — why is it NOT used to dissipate or steer them away?
State of failure
If agencies are given billions to deal with emergencies... why don't they?
Governments talk constantly about emergency — climate, pandemic, war, food, energy, supply chains or cyber — and yet when one happens they are absent, in the Carolinas, Tennessee and Florida.
Likewise the United Nations has just signed a Pact of the Future that grants it emergency powers, yet the UN has signally failed to stop war and famine since its inception.
This is not a mistake nor oversight. It is a mechanism.
Poor example
The Guardian’s pivot to ridiculing geo-engineering followed a large donation from Bill Gates.
Geo-engineering or weather control has been a fave at The Guardian newspaper which moved from attacking weather modification, before ridiculing the idea as a conspiracy theory, and finally promoting it as a not-so-bad idea after all.
In May 2010 for example The Guardian published “Bill Gates' cloud-whitening trials 'a dangerous experiment’.”
Four months later the newspaper accepted Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) money under the guise of a new development website. “The Guardian launches global development website with Gates Foundation.”
Its new technique was to ridicule geo-engineering, “My month with chemtrails conspiracy theorists” (2017) while gradually introducing it as inevitable: “What if it’s too late to save our planet without geoengineering?” (2021) while failing to disclose that BMGF funds both The Guardian and geo-engineering research.

State of exception
The explanation is delightfully simple: on the one side narrative, on the other belief.
In order to “force behaviours” (BlackRock’s Larry Fink) you require a monotonous, strict and bossy instructor (think prime ministers Jacinda Ardern and Dan Andrews) and an excessively eager teacher's pet willing to respond: a Greek chorus that wails and raises its hands in assention (think Extinction Rebellion’s red ladies).
This is the fake dialectic of climate extinction and pandemic panic, enthusiasm for Moar War in Ukraine and Lebanon, and whatever will be the next happening.
The state of exception is a form of “continuity of government” (COG) by resort to extra-judicial means — and it is being applied specifically to the polycrisis, cascading crises or confected emergencies of our time.
In our present condition — in plain English we are “fucked” — the legal theorist of a state of exception Carl Schmitt has something to say.
Schmitt adopted the Greek concept of tyrant, who was not entirely negative, for a tyrant was one who seized power, over riding the constitution in order to save the ideals and ways of life of the day.
Since our society has been subverted and rights set aside, arguably beyond anything the Third Reich did to the native population, one has to reconsider.
Even though he was Hitler’s adviser, who formulated the powers of the führer (leader) he lived a long life (1888-1985) and informed those who built the Rules-Based International Order and the European Union.
If anything, the hell-for-leather power grab during Covid broke every rule Schmitt tried to codify. Western government is mired in the chaos that it created in order to drive its Covid agenda.
Guardian-style pivot
I previously wrote about Carl Schmitt as the legal theorist of the Third Reich. Back then, I still considered the West to be democratic.
The assaults by Western politicians on civil liberties, such as revoking citizenship and abolishing trial by jury, were drawn clearly, in my mind, from Schmitt and the Reich’s concept that the fuehrer had the power to decide who was, or was not, a member of the community.
Since then Western governments have strayed further. The Americans openly discuss revoking the First Amendment. Western Europe floats like a cess pool with hate speech laws bobbing among the faecal material of government misinformation, so that there is no clean water.
If you see the failings of Britain's privatised water companies this is not metaphorical. How, in corruption and incompetence, does one enforce standards? It is looking like the Western so-called democracy is not capable.

Power play
This is to touch upon the religion of Da Science: that which must be affirmed or ignored — the seen and wilfully unseen.
Biden's objective in a pre-emptive passive aggressive insult to Carolina’s victims was probably not to distract us from the use of electromagnetic frequencies but to be the megaphone of power — on behalf of the corporations, the war machine, the bankers above the banks.
He was putting the people in their place. Why, otherwise, begin his visit to the Carolinas with provocative and divisive statement?
Does someone who questions Net Zero not deserve help? But we saw his technique during Covid when those who questioned the "safe and effective" were told "rest in peace, wheezy" - go away and die.
Baskets of deplorables
It recalls Biden's "red" speech of September 2022, when he condemned the angry who "thrive on chaos" - as opposed to the “light of truth... (which) is now visible."
See Opinion - It Is The Hour Of The Time - Biden invokes the Lightbringer to conquer the soul (Sep 04, 2022)
It recalls the derisive phrase "flyover country" - the majority of the U.S. that do not reside on the Atlantic or Pacific coasts.
And Hillary Clinton's comment about "a basket of deplorables." Why the curious use of "basket" - unless she meant the basket that should be placed under the guillotine to collect the heads of those who do not comply?
The victims, whether of natural disaster or climate change, find themselves demonised alongside political opponents.
Insult takes the place of policy response; victims come last in a ritual humiliation.
Burn, baby, burn
We heard and saw the same after the fires in Maui, Hawaii; and as far back as Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, 2017 and Katrina in 2005.
We must cut straight to the chase of migration, which we had hoped to leave for later in our talk.
Carolina is home to some of America's earliest migrants in the modern era. Families can trace their roots to the 17th century.
The first town to have a charter was Bath, North Carolina, settled in the 1690s and named officially in 1705. You may know it as the home of the pirate Edward Teach of Bristol, England, nicknamed Blackbeard. [3]
The definition of migrant is relative, as is slave. Of whom most of America's were white. Dragged in chains or driven by famine or religious persecution, or kidnapped, they were simply disposed of as undesirable, many having to earn their freedom.
I myself have an uncle who was "born out of wedlock," seized from his mother, and exported to populate the colonies. He was a "Barnardo's boy" taken from England to Canada in the 1950s. The practice continued into the late 1970s or perhaps 80s.
The difference between woke "progressives" and awake free thinkers is simply the degree of ignorance about one's own folk. The evidence is often near at hand.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season — it spent more than $1.4 billion in the past 24 months on the migrant crisis “providing shelter and other services to families and individuals encountered by the Department of Homeland Security.”
Might we say a word?
It seems not. The U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protecting free speech should be ended, says former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
Witness an assault on humanity, its moral values, its very bodily integrity — and yet the straight face with which a Sen Lindsey Graham can say you need "Moar War," Kerry can call for abolishing the First Amendment that protects free speech, or MSNBC's Rhodes Scholar Rachel Maddow continues the long-exposed Russiagate hoax.
"The anguish over social media is just growing, particularly in democracies, as part of building consensus around any issue. It's really hard to govern today. The referees we used to have to determine what's a fact have been eviscerated. People self select where they go for their news and their information...
"If people go to only one source and the source is sick and has an agenda and is putting out disinformation our First Amendment stands as major block to just hammer it out of existence."
The reason such "elites" demand censorship, is because they are paper tigers. The Emperor's New Clothes are as fragrantly invisible as when Hans Christian Andersen described a vain elite in 1837.
Wikipedia: "The tale concerns an emperor who has an obsession with fancy new clothes, and spends lavishly on them, at the expense of state matters."
Keir Starmer, British prime minister, will you stand up!
