These experts and officials on this video are liars ! Every last one of them! Climate change is a false flag! That’s just a dog whistle to make the rest of us believe or think that we have culpability in these so called natural disasters! What caused this flooding is what is destroying our enviroment and killing us!
Well let me tell ,here’s what I been saying… first off my heart has been breaking for our brothers and sisters in NC that were murdered for greed! And if that wasn’t bad enough, these evil pricks are trying to squash out the survivors like they are bugs under their feet! Then ya got these traitors making comments like you mentioned, how they should have been prepared, they’re exaggerating, they’re just trying to get free money, they should have voted differently! Then you have these liars on the fake news trying to play like these mining operations have had their very important work halted because of all this, to hell with our fellow Americans and their suffering. These traitors and liars really piss me off! And everyone needs to quit saying they are victims of a hurricane! That is not the case! Here’s the real story! And if this don’t piss off every red blooded, god fearing American patriot, if everyone of us don’t seek Justice for this insidious act, if everyone of us aren’t praying every day for all those who lost so much, then everything our fathers sacrificed, fought and died for is lost! Because here’s the whole truth! …..
Those mines were back open within a couple days! These so called news casters don’t have a clue anbout what they’re talking about and they’re are lying through their teeth!. That quart is used to make crucibles ( a sort of beaker or special high heat withstanding cooking container. ). And those two quartz mines aren’t the only mining operations going on up there! That is the only place in the world they can get the pure quartz from required to make the crucibles that much is true! And that quartz has a veins that run down fish hatchery road and right up under all those people ,communities and families that were had their lives flushed away over greed! And the weather control talk is just a sleight of hand to distract us from what’s really going on. Just as these liars are trying to convince us that the quartz is needed for your smart phone! Nope! It’s just used to make the containers they need to make photo cells for solar panels! It is true that a lil bit of spruce pines may be in your smart phone, because gold ,silver and many other things are used to make the circuit boards! And quartz isn’t the only mining operation going on up there! let me explain it better for ya. First off when the actual hurricane hit landfall in Florida, it was a cat4. Sporting 225mph winds with 14 ft storm surge. Yet IN FLORIDA , when it was a hurricane, it only dropped 1.21 to less than 3 inches of rain! As a hurricane moves over land it loses velocity and power. Hurricanes develope over water and gain power from the warm and cold water and air currents over water. Hurricanes also pick up their moisture over water. The moment a hurricane hits landfall it begins to weaken. Hurricanes can sometime keep 1/2 power by running up coast because half of it is still over water. The further inland they move the weaker they get and the less rainfall. No way a hurricane remains a hurricane hundreds of miles inland, nor does it pick up more rain. It certainly isn’t gonna dump 30 to 40 inches of rain hundreds of miles inland . That much water could not be held aloft period! You’re talking around 264 trillion pounds of water ! I’m saying the mining operations flushed these communities and families lives away. None of these so called natural disasters are natural! Do you know what tailings are? Tailings are waste water, sand and rock sediment that are stored by the billions of gallons at all these mining operation sites. There are 2,236 mining operations in NC alone. The toxins in these tailings , ingredients being reported in chem trails and are the same pollutants in these dirt and water samples from this “ flooding” ,are all the same! The kings mountain lithium mine in Cleveland county NC, that was closed in 1980s , had all their permits in place by august 2024 to start back up. It took 2 to 3 years to get everything they needed to start mining that particular mine again. All they had left to do was dispose of 1.3 BILLION GALLONS of tailings left on site from the 1980s . In august of 2024, it was determined that to dispose of the 1.3 billion gallons would take a year and a half. The bulk of these mining operations are run or have been run by the BLM ! It takes 500,000 gallons of water to produce 1 metric ton of ore. There are 87 mining operations being conducted currently from Cleveland county kings moutain currently. 99 in Gastonia county/ kings mountain region. Eventually these areas that are having multiple mining operations going on become drought stricken or dessert areas. I been finding that when BLM is involved and thousands of mining operations , eventually the land is turned to dessert area and the mines are shut down. No water no mining can be done. Look into the number of mines in Death Valley California. Do you wonder why California is burning down every year? .you all really believe, as drought stricken as California has been, for decades, do you really believe that the GOVENOR or whoever just let accumulated rain water flush out to ocean?! Leaving them no water to fight the “wild fires” especially when that state burns down every year?! Nope! The water was used in the multitude of mining operations going on in that state! This created more toxic tailings! We will find that the soil samples in these burned out areas will have the same toxins and that they are located near mining operations. .and I have discovered that many of these mining operations literally cause fires, increased seismic activity, volcanic, weather issues, increase in fungal , mold and other parasitic populations, increase bio mass. Tailings dam catastrophic failures have occured and will continue to increase in frequency. Death Valley California , look into the numbers of mining operations there. Started in the mid 1800s. Look into what kind of enviroment it was prior to mining.

I used to live in the depths of the NW & SW chain of the blue ridges.

It floods,because of the rivers,creeks,brooks ect.

But never like this in at least 100 years.
My heart still aches,knowing these places are not that far from where I lived and grew and acclimated for years. Still not that far today. We were lucky with the flooding we had,when Helene came through. It feels surreal,because we are less than 45 minutes from the wind damage line. 💔

I have always lived in the western part of the state,foothills and deep mountains. 😢 This area deserves help! We need more help out this way.

i am stunned by the comments that say "absolutely no one could have anticipated this"… seriously?? Historic and catastrophic flooding was predicted BEFORE Helene was even a hurricane. It's literally discussed in this video.

I'm in lake lure. I got up for work a usual , not expecting much, and upon realizing I would not be in to work immediately due to the sudden weather, I just went back to bed. Woke up to the world turned upside down. It would then be weeks before power or water came back for us, but worse for so many others around us.

❤ & 🙏 from Kansas

How inspiring, thank you so much !

asheville born and raised. cried like a baby watching this

It takes my breath away😢 the people are incredible to survive!!! I'm older & my heart wouldn't able to handle it.. just by seeing it & being in it would give me a heart attack… I'm serious. Bless these people God & please help them .. I know we suffer for the sins of others ,, & hope I go home to God's kingdom…

Haven’t seen this report. We had no news for weeks except for a small 2 person radio station in our town. They had to be evacuated to a fire house but still continued to broadcast. Wednesday evening before the hurricane was when our area t.v. station announced Helene looked really bad & to get prepared. What happened next was unbelievable. Thank you to Gov. Cooper for shutting down relief efforts & exacerbating the suffering of Western North Carolina. Genuine thanks to all the volunteers from all over the U.S. who have helped & made a difference and continue to make a difference. We’ve not seen FEMA…we’ve seen churches & Samaritan’s Purse & the Cajun Navy.

GOD bless you all

Think it was in the 1880s a few started to get electricity in their homes. And many centuries later all of us in the rich world got it. And even today not all have it. So about 70-100 years ago we did fine, without electric lights, fridges, heat, internet, mobile phones and more. Amazing how stupid people have become.
It's a pandemic in stupidity and blaming others

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been waiting for something in documentary format. As a resident of NC, and a lover of the mountains, this hits very close to home.

It Wasn't a natural disaster

Part of the reason why the flooding was so bad was because just before this, the mountains got dumped with rain a day prior. The ground was already saturated and the creeks were already high when Helene came through. Combined with the strong winds and the constant rain, there was damage expected, but nothing quite like this.

The NWS released an Excessive Rainfall outlook a day before, and the area hit the hardest by the flooding was right in the HIGH risk (80%+ of heavy rain/flooding). It was a perfect storm.

It wasn't man made either, like some people are saying. We literally do not have the power to control the weather. It's impossible. It requires so many moving parts like humidity, shear, dewpoint, CAPE, and countless of other parameters. A random rainstorm, for instance, requires so many ingredients that we as humans cannot harness. I reiterate, it's impossible. If we could, we would immediately use it for war first because that's what most modern inventions we enjoy now (the internet, the radio, etc) were built for.

Don't buy into the conspiracies and use your brain please. These harmful conspiracies will cost people their lives because they won't have trust in the NWS anymore. That could be fatal. We predict the weather to help you, not to make you think that we have the power of a god.

Rip to everyone who passed in this storm and who still hasn't been found.

Beautiful work, Thank You!

Absolutely beautiful! It was beautifully done. Thank you to everyone involved in making this. Thank you for including all of the testimonials about God in it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

God Bless you all! I don't know how you curb your anger at at the Government but I am glad God is bringing the people together! God has given you all Strength!
