The recent devastation in the North Carolina mountains has left countless bodies scattered across the landscape—people who have tragically lost their lives due to the destruction brought on by Hurricane Helene. What we are witnessing is beyond heartbreaking; it is an unprecedented disaster that some, including myself, believe was not purely natural. The U.S. government’s interest in the region’s valuable resources—especially lithium and quartz—raises serious questions about the true origins of this disaster. The smell of death lingers in the air, an eerie reminder of the lives that have been lost.

And yet, the silence from mainstream news is deafening. TikTok is the only platform where we are seeing firsthand reports of the devastation, including the disturbing smell from the decomposing bodies, with locals posting videos and updates. Graves were disturbed by the floodwaters, and the dead have literally been unearthed. However, I want to reassure grieving families: our bodies are merely vessels, and those lost in the floods are not trapped in the coffins—they have moved on. But the horror remains, and the questions loom larger than ever.

The Resource Grab: Lithium and Quartz at the Center

There are significant political and economic motives to consider. The areas hardest hit by the hurricane, particularly King Mountain and the surrounding regions, sit atop vast deposits of lithium, a critical resource for the green energy economy. With the world rushing toward electric vehicles and clean energy technologies, lithium is more valuable than ever. Control over these deposits could mean control over the future of global technology. This makes it all the more suspicious that this disaster occurred in precisely the areas that could be prime targets for resource exploitation.

But here’s where it gets worse: if the government declares the affected areas disaster zones, they can invoke eminent domain. This allows the government to seize private property for public use, and here’s the kicker—they only have to pay landowners what the property was worth five years ago, not what it’s worth today. Imagine your home being turned into a watery lot or sliding down the side of a mountain, and in return, you receive a fraction of what it’s truly worth. Meanwhile, corporations can swoop in, establish lithium mines, and extract billions of dollars in resources, leaving the original landowners with nothing but grief and a government check that doesn’t even come close to replacing what they’ve lost.

This is no mere theory. Spruce Pine, North Carolina—the world’s only source of high-purity quartz used to manufacture semiconductors—was also devastated. Quartz from Spruce Pine is essential to the global technology industry. Without it, semiconductor production would halt, crippling everything from smartphones to cars. Yet, not one major news outlet has covered the destruction of this vital resource. Why? Because controlling the semiconductor supply chain gives the U.S. government, and by extension the global elites, immense power over the global economy. The less attention the public pays, the more quietly this power grab can take place.

HAARP and DARPA: Government Weather Manipulation

Let’s go deeper. There are reasons to believe that Hurricane Helene was not a natural occurrence, but rather a disaster engineered for political and economic purposes. The High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), a government-funded project, has long been suspected of manipulating weather patterns. Established in 1993, HAARP was designed to study the ionosphere but has been linked to more nefarious uses, such as causing earthquakes, manipulating weather, and interfering with global communications.

HAARP, in conjunction with DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), has the technology to influence natural systems. Declassified military documents, including the U.S. Air Force report “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025,” outline strategies to use weather as a tool of warfare. This isn’t science fiction—this is documented strategy, and the devastation we’re witnessing in North Carolina may be a direct result of these covert technologies.

I believe the hurricane, and the subsequent destruction, was deliberately created to allow the government to exploit the rich natural resources in these areas. If it were just a typical hurricane, we wouldn’t be seeing the widespread, targeted devastation in regions that just happen to sit on some of the most valuable mineral resources in the world.

Personal Loss and Local Devastation

On a personal level, this disaster has hit home in more ways than one. Wilkes County, where my family owned five acres of hunting land passed down from my father-in-law, is gone. The entire side of the mountain slid down and was washed away, and now that land—so rich in history and sentiment—no longer exists. But as devastating as our loss is, it pales in comparison to what others have faced.

Entire towns have been wiped off the map. Communities that were once vibrant and full of life are now nothing but remnants buried under mud and floodwaters. This isn’t Florida, where hurricanes are expected. This is the North Carolina mountains—this doesn’t happen here. That’s why I firmly believe this disaster was engineered, a calculated move by the government to achieve a deeper agenda. This wasn’t an act of Mother Nature; it was, in my opinion, the result of government intervention.

When I worked as a team lead supervisor opening the first Taco Bell in Black Mountain, I fell in love with the area. We had so much fun getting to know the locals, spending our days off in Asheville, and exploring the beauty of the mountains. Those memories make it even harder to process the destruction happening now. There are people trapped in the mountain areas, caught off guard without any warning. The government response has been slow and inadequate—Kamala Harris, when asked what the administration was doing to help the survivors, offered nothing but silence.

A Deafening Silence from the Media

It’s not just the government’s inaction that’s concerning. The media, too, has remained largely silent on the true extent of the devastation. None of the major news outlets are reporting on this, save for the firsthand accounts circulating on TikTok and Facebook. Locals are posting videos of bodies, ruined homes, and the unimaginable destruction in their communities. Meanwhile, mainstream media continues to focus on everything but the humanitarian disaster unfolding in our mountains.

The stories coming out of these regions are heartbreaking. Graves were disturbed during the floods, and the dead were literally unearthed, adding another layer of horror to an already catastrophic situation. As I mentioned earlier, I want to reassure families that their loved ones are not trapped in the coffins. Our bodies are vessels, and while the disturbance of the graves is upsetting, the souls of those lost have moved on. Still, the pain and loss are unimaginable.

What You Can Do

This disaster is about more than just a hurricane. It’s about power, control, and resource exploitation. The government’s actions—or lack thereof—speak volumes, and the silence from mainstream media suggests there is something they don’t want us to know.

If you want to help:

• Stay informed by following local accounts on social media like TikTok and Facebook for real-time updates.
• Question the government’s narrative and the corporate motives behind the disaster response.
• Demand transparency from your elected officials and local authorities.
• Share this information with others—don’t let the voices of those affected be drowned out.

This is not just a natural disaster; this is a man-made catastrophe, engineered for profit at the cost of human lives. The truth must come to light, and those responsible must be held accountable.
