Helene: Was It Murder? They’d Have to be Crazy.

But crazy is what this terrible time in human history certainly is. Hold on to your common sense with bleeding fingernails. I’m hanging right beside you doing the same thing.

Can a hurricane be commandeered and steered, a flood be caused? It has been done to north east Australia and their government admitted to it. But Helene? The jury is out.

These are times of seemingly insurmountable evil in high places. Many well meaning Americans long for a revolution because, being Americans, they think revolution means that the good guys win. But what if that’s not the usual course of things? What if the bad guys also believe in revolution and they are the ones with the means to do it?

I quote and paraphrase Niccolo Machiavelli of circa 1520 on the subject of revolution:

“Good laws require good customs in order to be obeyed but good customs require good laws in order to be preserved…” When corruption has bought and sold the law and thus made a republic impossible it seems that the only way to reform society is forcible revolution. “But overturning society by force presupposes a bad man, whereas reforming society presupposes a good man.” Thus in all of history we see time and again that “when the bad man has overthrown society by force it seldom or never comes into his head to reform it”

Is the Hurricane Helene disaster the results of a revolution of the bad guys? Guys so bad they are stupid and crazy at once? A revolution that has already won while we all were looking the other way?

I hear that the talk going around among the victims in North Carolina is that Helene was deliberately steered to their area and stalled there deliberately long enough so it destroyed the possibility of anyone living there ever again and all because there are huge lithium deposits still unexploited in this area.

This scenario, if true, would have required murderers not just fantastically powerful but also crazy and stupid with hate and insouciance. They would have to have replaced the government that Americans imagine is there and that we Canadians also assume still exists. Democracy and law still exist. Surely they must!

In these last twenty years, especially the last five, I’ve become curmudgeonly enough to be sure that our two brotherly governments are malevolent and corrupt. I’ve lost the good regard and respect of former friends and even family because of my sour opinions.

But for the Helene disaster to have been deliberately done? The United States government would have to have been taken over by a criminal revolution so vile it had lost all reason. And this takeover would have been done while all of us little people, both the critics and those who despise critics, were denying the darkest reality.

Is human deniability so strong? Even in me? To believe in an insane scenario maybe you have to be at least a little crazy yourself? But maybe crazy is correct?

Now THAT is what’s really scary.

I wanted desperately to disbelieve it. A rational benefit is just not there. The results of the disaster destroyed any possible use that anybody could derive from the land. At least billions of dollars and months if not years would be needed to make the mining practical again.

The facts as they appear so far in early October of 2024:

Helene stopped and stalled over the area of Chimney Rock and King’s Mountain in North Carolina and then dumped, in a matter of maybe four or five hours, enough water to fill millions of Olympic swimming pools. The damage is utterly unprecedented. It's total. The roads and rails and power lines are so extensively damaged it will take huge money to restore them. Whole villages are completely wiped out. Chimney Rock is now a mud flat strewn with huge boulders. For many of the lucky survivors half of the riverside land they called home simply does not exist anymore. There is no way to even recover many if not most of the dead. Hundreds of dead at least are so buried by mud and debris they cannot even be accurately counted. Their former bodies also do not exist.

One witness was trying to drive to safety with his wife when the road ahead began to be overcome. They stopped and within minutes they saw the nine houses which lined the road ahead be smashed and driven down the slope into the raging and fantastically swollen river by a massive mud slide. They knew the people in those houses, their mostly elderly neighbours. It was early morning and the driving rain would have kept them indoors. So they were in those houses. They never stood the ghost of a chance.

The track of Helene was not far off many natural hurricanes in the past.

But that it stalled where it stalled is, however, very unprecedented. It has never happened to this area in the history of the last century at least. This damage is something none of the natives could ever have anticipated much less prepared for.

And steering hurricanes by such familiar and low level technology as cloud seeding is very possible. So it's possible that it could have been done deliberately by people with the money to buy the technology.

But let me come at the question more obliquely. It's possible, but is it PLAUSIBLE that someone steered the hurricane and calculatedly wiped out this area? Is it reasonable? I have serious doubts.

Let me try to review the potential suspects. IF this has been a crime and not a natural tragedy.

Certainly the timing is very odd if "the government" did it. It reflects very badly on the government already. FEMA's malicious incompetence and actual obstruction is whipping public opinion into fury all over the USA. So politically it is implausible.

But that depends on who you mean by "the government". FEMA is a pork barrel seething with human worms who think ordinary Americans are dirt. The CIA and FBI are similar. Could it be that they and other such “Secret Intelligence” are what runs the US government? Totally? No law involved? And therefore no politics?

But there is politics, open politics, lots of it. We’re less than a month away from the most contentious and crucial American presidential election since 1860, or even 1864 in the midst of the American Civil War.

Big money cares about who will win this election so I say "politically" the timing of the Helene disaster is really bad publicity, and powerful interests manifestly care about public opinion. With reason.

If the voting goes hard enough for Trump it will be too difficult to rig it enough to be a plausible win for Harris. If the voting is close then it can be "plausibly" rigged. So both sides are well funded and both sides are anxious about swaying public opinion.

The disaster could have been a political boon to Harris IF only FEMA was not the corrupt, mob-ridden, and therefore completely incompetent outfit they really are.

So the Biden government stinks worse than ever. Would a new Trump government be new enough to smell any better? Was the old one a rose garden?

Many people say "the government" when they mean the FBI/CIA/ Bureaucratic Deep State. They tend to assume the constitutional government – President, Congress and Supreme Court – is gone completely so voting doesn't matter. But the legal apparatus is still there, intertwined into every aspect of business. The vote, however corrupt, confers legitimacy. And that puts your team in the White House and State and Defense. The appearance matters. And so does at least corporate and property law. The "covert" actors do not and cannot have legitimacy in the public mind; they have to have a cover. So the election matters.

Could the wealthy private supporters of Trump have done it to ensure that people would so hate Biden and Harris that Trump would be elected for sure? The richest and most powerful supporters of Trump are obviously American Zionists, fanatical supporters of the State of Israel. Trump has been before and promises to be again Israel’s man in the White House. But he was already popular enough that every poll predicts his electoral victory. It seems like ridiculous overkill to spend so much money rigging the Helene disaster when billions of dollars could have been spent far more surely and effectively by legal and practical means.

Besides all that, AIPAC owns 90% of the careers of Congressional Representatives and Senators both Democrat and Republican. Joe Biden has been putty in their hands and Harris would be even softer.

Yes. Somebody tried to kill Trump and the Secret Service has to have been complicit and that means the Biden/Harris White House is the prime suspect in that. But was that an attempt to stop the triumph of the Neocons and Israel – people who own Biden and Harris at least as surely as they own Trump?

Or was the attempted murder of Trump in Butler PA a desperate move by people including Biden’s family who feared that Trump will prosecute them for crimes the public doesn’t even know about yet, let alone those we do know about?

I say the latter scenario is more likely. The Neocons, AIPAC, the State of Israel, they have a rosy path to endless US government money and US military resources no matter who wins November 5. Sure, Trump is a better bet, maybe. But the motivation is weak.

Could those wishing to sell the Climate Crisis movement be the culprits? Certainly Environmentalism and “renewable energy” is making fantastic profits world wide and is backed by the UN and WEF. Certainly Climate Crisis publicists and scammers are taking advantage of the aftermath. They're already "seeding" the media with talk of "Climate Change" as usual. But causing Helene for that purpose? That's a whole lot of money spent for doubtful results. It's not believable, not to me.

Corporate interests more powerful than the government? Investors wanting to exploit the undeveloped lithium?

Why ruin all the roads you could have used to help you construct a huge open pit mine? When you could have just bought up the property for much cheaper and surer results? The area is thinly populated with people who are struggling financially in this inflated and debt ridden economy. Most would sell out given 20-30% or so above asking price surely?

And as it turns out, the mining company in place to exploit the huge undeveloped lithium deposits between Chimney Rock and Kings Mountain, Albermarle Global of Charlotte NC, already owns the mineral rights.

Albermarle Global is owned by Blackrock and Vanguard groups; Douglas Emhoff, Kamala Harris's husband, is said by at least one local researcher to be Blackrock’s “biggest” investor. On September 24 Abermarle Global applied for the necessary federal and NC State permits to develop a new lithium mine at Kings Mountain. They touted it as guaranteeing $250 billion profits a year. Stock prices soared.

But the hurricane, especially with FEMA's criminal incompetence, has not benefitted Albermarle or Blackrock or Harris's rotten husband, much less her political campaign. Without the disaster the questions of land grab and lithium development would have been ignored as such things always are. Harris would win – or even if real-estate billionaire Trump won! He’s some sort of anti-business reformer? Please! – and the deal would have quietly gone through without anybody knowing or caring except for the poor and few natives of the area.

And, most vitally, the roads into it would have needed maybe a little upgrade. Same with the rail lines. Same with the power towers and lines. Now after Helene this vital infrastructure needs to be totally rebuilt. And with the publicity that's now focussed on the area this Albermarle deal has come to light and it makes Kamala stink. It also makes the corporate and political actors and investors more hesitant.

I'm not saying weather mod is not possible. I have agreed that it's not only possible, it's being used. Cloud Seeding was ADMITTED by the Australian government to having been used to "Green the Outback" by steering typhoons into the north east coast. What it actually did was cause a months-long flood disaster that killed at least hundreds of people. In my opinion, somebody also used chemical clouds and other weather mod to kill a lot of people by freezing all of Texas a couple of winters ago.

What I'm saying is that I doubted that Helene was directed in order to make it easier to exploit the lithium deposits because the damage of the disaster makes it impossible to build a new mine or even operate the silica mines that are already in the Kings Mountain area.

The quartz-silica mines already operating in the Kings Mountain area are really hurt by the damage because the roads and railways are ruined so badly that getting supplies in and products out is impossible. Looking at the damage as revealed by the appalling drone footage all over the internet, I have to believe that restoring the local infrastructure to even service the mines already there will take tens of billions and months if not years.

A new mine now? And a lithium mine at that? Before the disaster it could have and probably might have been at least funded. But now?

Investing in mining is risky at best. And lithium is looking riskier by the week. Have you checked out the Electric Vehicle market lately? It's collapsing. People are not buying EVs. Even China has just banned EVs from parking garages because of the fire risk from exploding lithium batteries that they pose. All the US and UK and EU’s governments' 2035 deadlines to force the change to totally electric vehicles are looking more shaky by the day. The big auto makers like Ford and GM are backing off from EVs or even plug-in hybrids in favour of tried and true and saleable ICE cars and hybrids [which charge their batteries with their gas or diesel engines while driving, NOT by plugging in].

If I were a billionaire and I were asked if I'd go into lithium as an investment I'd say let's hold off for a few months at least. It's looking more risky every day. Spending – and criminally too! – in order to build a new lithium mine right now? And after completely ruining all the roads and rails and electric pylons and having to build the roads to get into there and build the towns to house your work force? That's a huge risk. For a market that doesn't exist yet and looks shaky already? It doesn’t make economic sense.

There is one operating lithium mine in North America now. Thacker Pass mine in Nevada takes delivery of over 70 tanker trucks of sulphuric acid every day to process its ore. That kind of delivery service is obviously now ridiculously impossible in Kings Mountain, so the idea of building a new open pit lithium mine there now is laughable. So if anybody thought that hurricane-bombing Kings Mountain/Chimney Rock would make exploiting the lithium deposits easier somehow, they were over the border of stupid and barrelling full bore into Crazyland.

That said and after consideration, I can't deny that there very much appears to be people in powerful positions – like Kamala's husband maybe? – who are rich enough and stupid enough and psycho enough to think that that would be a smart idea. So the question is up in the air. Crazy as that is.

And crazy is what this terrible time in human history certainly is. Hold on to your common sense with bleeding fingernails. I’m hanging right beside you doing the same thing.
