Our Fragile Infrastructure: Lessons From Hurricane Helene

Asheville, North Carolina, is known for its historic architecture, vibrant arts scene and as a gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a favorite escape for “climate migrants” moving from California, Arizona, and other climate-challenged vicinities, until a “500 year flood” ravaged the city this fall.
Hurricane Helene was a wakeup call not just for stricken North Carolina residents but for people across the country following their tragic stories in the media and in the podcasts now favored by young voters for news. “Preppers” well equipped with supplies watched in helpless disbelief as homes washed away in a wall of water and mud, taking emergency supplies in the storm. Streets turned into rivers, and many businesses and homes suffered extensive water damage if they were not lost altogether.
The raging floods were triggered by unprecedented rainfall and winds, but a network of fragile dams also played a role. On Sept 27, when the floods hit, evacuation orders were issued to residents near a number of critical dams due to their reported “imminent failure” or “catastrophic collapse.” Flood waters were overtopping the dams to the point that in some cases the top of the dam structure could not be seen.
We Are All “Palestinians,” Now!
By: Brett Redmayne-Titley
"When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty."
It is not inaccurate to determine that we, the remaining moral world, are in reality also Palestinian by metaphor. Likewise, we are all individually disenfranchised, country-by-country, by a cadre of purported nationalist politicians who are doing the work of- and for only one nation.
As they do so, the disdain they publicly boast against the correct morality expressed by their public, as shown by the ongoing violence these minions reap on civilized society by legislation or cop, is not merely deliberate. It is arrogant and loud.
These politicians, The Bastards of Zion, serve only one master. This is all too obvious: Massacre by massacre.
During the height of the previous Israeli Genocidal slaughter, “The March of Return” of 2018, I penned the article, “World: WE are all Palestinians Now!” Therein, I noted by comparison, country-by-country, how the people of the EU, Britain, USA, and others had effectively been locked by these same political concubines into an ever-narrowing dominion of country and... of mind!
It was slaughter then. It is genocide now—societal genocide.
Yet, the Palestinians of the world, are being attacked on all fronts in the ridiculous attempt to have all Palestinians worldwide quietly go home...to countries whose societies are already substantially destroyed by the economic bombings of Zionism and its minions. If not by bomb, then by media trickery and anti-populist impositions, austerity, and more-and-more war that have delivered all the “western” countries on earth into a continuing downhill spiral of fiscal, political, societal and mental poverty.
Can A Tsunami of Trump Votes Give Power Back to the American People?
Paul Craig Roberts
The Democrats are set to steal the election. They have everything in place except enough votes to hide their theft.
Watch the video of the Trump Grand Finale, listen to the speeches by Robert Kennedy and Tucker Carlson. Marvel at the massive audience. It appears that Americans have cast off their insouciance and are going to take back their country from the two corrupt political parties, both of which have unleashed evil on America and the world.
Tucker Carlson LIVE Tour Grand Finale With President Donald Trump in Glendale, AZ
The American ruling elite, which is evil beyond comprehension, will not take kindly to their loss of power and exposure of their crimes. The FBI, CIA, NSA, Secret Service, and Clinton murder machine only have to assassinate four people–Trump, Bobby Kennedy, Tucker Carlson, and Elon Musk–and the country is back in their hands.
Considering the extraordinary support that both Trump and Bobby Kennedy extend to Israel, it is unclear how an America that supports and enables the Genocide of Palestine can be made great again.
Woman Found dead in Republican Congressman's Office
Joe Scarborough recently resigned
from Congress unexpectedly, soon
after a divorce and amid rumors
about his marital fidelity
Reader Comment
Posted December 18, 2001
FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. - Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old office worker for Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-Fl), was found dead in the congressman's district office. Police said preliminary findings from Michael Berkland of the medical director's office showed “no foul play or any outward indication of suicide.” Dr. Michael Berkland had recently relocated to Florida. His medical license in the state of Missouri was revoked in 1998 as a result of Berkland reporting false information regarding brain tissue samples in a 1996 autopsy report. Berkland does not deny the charges. AMPOL, 8/9/01
Joe Scarborough had recently resigned from Congress unexpectedly, soon after a divorce and amid rumors about his marital fidelity. He had also abruptly resigned as publisher of the Independent Florida Sun. AMPOL, 8/14/01.
Unbelievably, that was it. The story was simply dropped. A young female employee of one of Florida's Republican Congressmen had died inexplicably in the Congressman's office. There were no witnesses to her death and the cause of death was not apparent, but the police somehow knew there was no foul play. In the scramble to cover up the truth somebody in the police department forgot to tell Dr. Nelson, the Chairman of the Medical Examiners Commission to dummy up. Dr. Nelson said: “What we have here is the death of a healthy young woman who died of a blow to the head, and a lie from the Medical Director's office about this blow which was quite obvious to the naked eye.”
On November 5 the Decision Will Be Made between Freedom and Tyranny
Paul Craig Roberts
Democrats Continue to Block All Efforts to Restore Electoral Integrity.
Some Democrat courts rule contrary to the law on the books.
The Democrat Nevada Supreme Court ruled contrary to law that non-postmarked ballots that arrive 3 days after the election can be counted. This permits non-mailed mail-in ballots to be filled in after the vote count and used to reverse the electoral result. The federal US Appeals Court for the fifth circuit ruled that the US Constitution requires ballots to be counted on election day. The Democrats have declared the US Constitution to be a racist document that they will not abide by despite their oath of office to uphold the Constitution.
Democrat federal district courts required the state of Virginia to restore non-US citizens to its voter rolls. This allows the Democrats to vote the non-citizens. The Democrat Department of Justice (sic) required the state of Alabama to have non-US citizens on the state’s voter rolls. A federal judge dismissed the Republican attempt to have only US citizens on Michigan’s voter rolls.
The Democrat Pennsylvania supreme court illegally ruled that improperly cast mail-in ballots can be counted.
The Democrat district attorney in Philadelphia is suing Elon Musk in an effort to stop Musk’s support of the US Constitution.

On March 11, 2011, The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station in Japan experienced three meltdowns in reactors 1, 2, and 3 after a tsunami struck in March 2011. The catastrophic event had immediate consequences for the environment and public health and also left a lasting legacy of challenges in nuclear safety and disaster response.
The Illusion of the Saviors: A Comparative Analysis of Barack Obama and Kamala Harris
Chris Spencer
The political astroturf of the United States has been fractured by figures described as "saviors." The political careers of Barack Obama and Kamala Harris epitomize that trend in clay-feet "gods" and "goddesses." Both have cultivated public personas hinged upon metaphors of "hope and change" through their respective legal and political backgrounds. Their actions and decisions often conflict with their rhetorically stated ideologies. This analysis concludes that neither was a savior but rather a manipulator of identity and race politics within a framework that substantiates state overreach and erosion of civil liberties.
The Spiritual Lens: Obama as a Savior
Before the 2008 election, Barack Obama positioned himself as a transformational leader. His eloquence and charisma attracted a diverse electorate, leading many to see him as a messiah who would rescue them from the socio-political perils of the Bush era. His campaign emphasized hope, solidified when he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, symbolizing worldwide expectations for his leadership.
The World of Arabs
Most of the world of Arabs for some four centuries consisted of
provinces under the Ottoman Empire (Sultanate).
by Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirović
The world of Arabs (the WoA), as a distinctive part of the globe, is of extreme significance for both global politics and the global economy. On the other hand, this region is featured by slow democratic development, political instability, religious extremism (Islamic fundamentalism), and many reasons for long-time inter-ethnic conflicts especially on the Israeli-Arab relations and regional insecurity. It is quite obvious that the WoA needs comprehensive political, social, and economic reforms which the Arab Spring’s protesters clearly requested in 2010−2013. The crucial issues of reforms are about national development and governance, a succession of political authority, removal of political authoritarianism, and Arab relations with Israel and the USA.
The WoA is composed politically of 22 member states of the Arab League Organization (officially, The League of Arab States) including those from the regions of the Middle East and North Africa (the MENA) and connected by numerous bilateral and multilateral conventions and agreements. On the one hand, those 22 member states are different in size, governmental form, and richness of natural resources, but on the other hand, all of them possess many common attributes that are culturally, confessionally, and ethnically unifying them: language, alphabet, religion, history, customs, values, and traditions.

Undercounting Deaths in Gaza While Claiming It’s the Worst War Ever
41,909 bodies counted, 10,000 missing, death count higher than 51,909
David Swanson, World BEYOND War
We generally accept that if you do a census and only count the people who answer their doors you miss some people, and that you can calculate an estimate that reliably gets closer to reality than the list of people who answer their doors. Of course it will get closer, the more information you can gather. But those insisting that people who do not answer their doors be treated as not existing are widely understood, not as principled fact checkers, but as having ulterior reasons for desiring undercounts.
DIRECT AND IDENTIFIED
The fact is not really disputed that in every war there are people who die without being identified at a morgue. They may die from direct war violence or from starvation or disease resulting from a war’s destruction of hospitals. They may be blown into little pieces, be buried under buildings, drown in the sea, or die hours after being born. There’s no certain way to know the exact proportion between identified and unidentified deaths in a given war. But even in a dense, relatively educated place and even with the growth of social media, a zone in which hospitals, media outlets, power plants, and — in fact — every type of building, have been reduced to rubble is unlikely to set the record for the lowest percentage of unidentified deaths — much less eliminate them altogether.
RUBBLE
In fact, the same government in Gaza that provides the figure always cited in Western media for Palestinian deaths in Gaza (direct deaths from violence) — currently 41,909 — also says, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, that it estimates there are another 10,000 buried under rubble. In other words, the 41,909 are reported as bodies that have been counted, and a large majority of them identified with names (an independent study suggests the reliability of the identified names), but another 10,000 or so bodies are missing and have not been found. The 10,000 may be a very rough estimate, also known as a wild guess. But it’s very likely closer to the truth than is zero. Reporting an estimate of 51,909 would almost certainly be closer to the truth than reporting 41,909. And the very same source you’re citing for 41,909 would tell you that.
