VIDEO PROOF: FEMA Helicopters Are Blocking Greenville South Carolina Airport

Private citizens were flying aid to victims and FEMA came and BLOCKED THE RUNWAY to stop them

“We're at the airport today. Yesterday, they ran, like, 30 something planes — And FEMA has flown in, like, 10 or more helicopters and blocked a runway here at Greenville downtown, completely took over or almost took over the operation”

“FEMA's gonna come here and try to stop it. And they took over one of the hangars over here too. We'll show you as much as we can. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Here's the helicopters that are blocking one of the runways here at Greenville Downtown. (See video)

All flown in by FEMA, helicopter pilots. And they're just sitting there doing nothing.”

“FEMA came in and halted all that operation. When there's 1,000 of pounds of supplies over there that could be taken, When there's 1,000 of pounds of supplies over there that could be taken, they're just sitting there doing nothing and blocking the runway with however many helicopters.”

Initially, FEMA was blocking private parties. They even threatened to arrest one helicopter pilot if he came back. After public backlash, they changed their mind and allowed private parties to participate in rescue and relief efforts.

Government shills speak with forked tongue. The real people in Hawaii and NC and Georgia speak truth. Not you or your media propagandist information providers.

Chimney Rock, NC resident Chelsea Atkins:
“It’s been a civilian-run operation since day one,” Atkins added of the cleanup in the aftermath of the hurricane. “You can’t ask the authorities for help — they’ll say you need to leave.”

Yes, recovery is a civilian run operation, especially in the immediate aftermath. Why is that?

Take a moment and think it through.

Is it that they don't care at all and are doing it for just certain people? OR Is it that they can't magically teleport everywhere all at once because they too are hampered by blocked/destroyed roads and have to clear the path to just get to these locations?

Which do you think is more likely?

What you've shared so far is a guy standing in a regional airfield making claims. And providing 0 evidence. How exactly is FEMA blocking anyone else? And how does he know those supplies aren't being distributed? Did he confirm anything with anyone? Did he talk to the local air tower to see when he would be able to take off? DOES HE EVEN HAVE AN AIRCRAFT?

He doesn't know anything. He makes a lot of assertions. Then points at something as if it were proof of anything.

Proof of what? Proof of FEMA blocking aid or supplies? This? Really?

Did that reporter check with the EMT to see if what this man said happened actually happened? Nope.

Did that reporter find the 'Assistant Fire Chief' to confirm anything? Nope.

How about anyone else he interacted with in the story? Not a one.

You could take this guys story and replace every location with a location on Mars, and you'd have the same amount of evidence that he'd flown his helicopter to Mars.

Also, that it's an assistant fire chief is hilarious. Assistant Fire Chiefs have arrest powers in NC? Huh.

I'm gonna suggest something, you won't follow it because conservatives never do, but stop beginning with a conclusion and then looking for anything that supports that conclusion.

One more what? Proof that FEMA is out there destroying supplies?

The 'destroyed supplies' really look like an unsecured portable awning and loose paper/cardboard. And when it comes to destroying supplies, a roto wash is a remarkably inefficient way to do it. How do you know that's a 'FEMA Blackhawk'? Is that because it's unmarked? Is that the dead giveaway?

Are you sure it's not a youtuber like Heavy D being a jackass? Are you sure it's not a Blackhawk from the Connecticut National Guard with a pilot who is tired and got confused about his LZ, and when he realized his mistake took off?

I love that the guy was doing a "K9 Security Sweep" which is such a weird way to describe going for a walk with your dog. What's he gonna do if someone decided to show up with some guns to steal all the supplies? Hide behind his dog? Keep going on his "sweep" but in a different direction in a hurry?

Also, if you do a basic search you'll find other videos of that incident from a different perspective. And from that other video, you will see there's a large empty space next to the supply dumb.

So which is more likely? A unmarked FEMA helicopter swooping in to use its roto wash to 'destroy supplies' OR a tired pilot who is unfamiliar with the area making a mistake then once they realized their mistake took off to go where they were supposed to go?

Stop beginning with a conclusion and then looking for evidence to support that conclusion.

I don't understand. They can just print more money or borrow it from some other fund. Running up more debt doesn't seem to be a problem for the federal government. This is illogical.

So are you saying all the money was spent on illegal aliens and there is none left for the relief effort? That is hard to believe. Is our government that corrupt?

i'm not offended. i'm really just here to help you see the light. for example, why aren't maga voters interested in exposing the truth about mega maga donors? you have the very blind spots that you accuse others of having.

so here's what i ask you to do: make a clever meme responding to this comment, then spend some time really thinking about what i said. consider especially the fact that, whether you want to or not, you're serving the purposes of MAGA leaders and donors by participating in and contributing to the propagation of the would-be MAGA takeover.

the opposite of "woke" is comatose. is that your goal? how about a nice middle-of-the-road awareness of reality instead?

Keep deflecting from the truth...

"Political campaigns on both sides always exaggerate and pitch imaginary scenarios if the other side wins. Certainly, the Left’s insane obsession with Project 2025 is an example, but in the case of mass censorship, we don’t have to imagine. We’ve seen it first hand over the past four years. Millions of accounts and billions of posts & private messages have been censored. Entire conservative social media platforms like Parler have been taken down. Even the former president, himself, was subjected to mass censorship, and it’s still occurring, as his rally videos are often removed from Facebook & Instagram, while MSNBC & CNN ofthe refuse to allow the public to hear Trump’s actual words in speeches.

But their monopoly on Big Tech and mainstream media has been broken by Musk buying Twitter and media startups like One America News, so as Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, John Kerry, and Tim Walz have all stated explicitly in their own words, they must bring total censorship back. If they get a monopoly of power in Congress and the Presidency, you can be sure they’ll find ways to implement new censorship controls, including the deplatforming of Twitter/X, and they will pack the Supreme Court or find some other method to ensure the Constitution can no longer be used as a check on power.

We’ve already seen how they’re funneling illegal immigrants to swing states, waiting for the chance to grant mass amnesty, a not-so-hidden attempt to achieve a one-party State for the rest of our lives, exactly like what now exists in California. Combined with the censorship, curbs on the 2nd Amendement, and threats to the Supreme Court, is it really an exaggeration to say we’re potentially only one election from totalitarian control?"

it's a tough call if you're the CEO of a major network or media platform. do you allow videos that are full of lies and misinformation to stay up, or you take on the task of deciding what constitutes a responsible exercise of free speech? whatever you decide, lots of people will say you're biased.

who said that migrants are being funneled to swing states? and did you fact-check it, or did you just believe it because it fits with the rest of your beliefs?

you don't seem too worried about Trump curbing freedoms if he is reelected, but you should.
