Hurricane Helene has a Critical Lesson for All of Us – A Midwestern Doctor 10/3/24

Recently, the East Coast was hit by a devastating hurricane that swept through Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia, with 175 deaths in that region already been confirmed. Furthermore, unlike a typical hurricane, it also wiped towns off the map and was the worst hurricane in North Carolina’s history (with the possible exception of one in 1775).

Since I have a lot of ties to the area (e.g., many people I’m close to live there, and Asheville was one of our favorite spots to go road trips to—and one of my favorite songs is about the area), I’ve been hearing horrible stories over the last six days over what happened there (both from my friends and readers who have asked me to cover it) and I’ve put a lot of thought into what to say about the events. Eventually I decided it would be best to wait until the Vice Presidential debate was held, as given the magnitude of this unprecedented disaster, it was almost guaranteed the topic would be raised at the debate and by extension would likely make a much stronger case for the profound issues facing our country than anything I could say.

If you watch this clip, three things should jump out to you.

•The death and destruction from the hurricane, was an afterthought for everyone there (including the liberal moderators) except for JD Vance. This is particularly extraordinary given that the devastation was concentrated in the highly liberal areas of North Carolina.

•Their primary focus was not the suffering from the hurricane, but rather how those deaths could be used to support their agenda (the climate change boondoggle).

•Many of the claims the moderators made were false and justified by vague statements (e.g., “scientists say” or “the overwhelming consensus amongst scientists”).

This for context, is almost identical to what we saw those people do throughout COVID, as there was a callous disregard for the devastation of their policies (e.g., the unscientific and unjustifiable lockdowns) and the lives lost from their policies (e.g., from the systematic suppression of early COVID-19 protocols or mandating deadly and ineffective hospital protocols). Rather the deaths throughout the pandemic were only cited when something could be gained from them (e.g., more money or power for fighting COVID).

These events in turn touch upon a few key points I’ve emphasized throughout this publication which I believe are becoming increasingly important to recognize as we move into an era with a more and more predatory ruling class.

Presently the affected areas are facing a huge number of problems. Two of the key ones are a lack of drinkable water and a lack of medical care. To illustrate:…
