Many of the roads in western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina are so wrecked from Hurricane Helene that rescue crews are still unable to access the people who are trapped there, at least with wheels. However, the authorities do not want private citizens trying to rescue trapped folks with their own private helicopters, which begs the question why?

A guy named Jordan Seidhom shared the story on social media of what he encountered while trying to rescue people with his private helicopter. Authorities told him to suspend all operations and let anyone else he knows with their own private helicopters to do the same, threatening arrest if they disobey the orders.

“At the time of this post I was the only helicopter within 40 miles working,” Seidhom wrote in a Facebook post. “I am unsure of the guys [sic] name but he had on a lake lure fire department shirt.”

At the risk of talking badly about first responders, Seidhom clarified that he is not trying to cause any trouble and simply wants to help. He is confused why the government does not want private citizens helping in much-needed rescue operations, especially since the government itself is having trouble doing the job.

“I was extracting a lady from a collapsing mountain side and Due [sic] to the unstable environment I left my copilot on the ground to stay with the husband. When she was brought to safety I was instructed that if I returned to get either person the husband or my copilot, I would be arrested.”

Declare a “disaster,” become a dictator

Unwilling to leave his fellow man behind, Seidhom felt the need to let the world know what he is encountering while trying to do the right thing in the damaged mountains of North Carolina.

“My copilot is currently flying me back for more fuel,” he wrote about what was happening next in real time. “Hopefully they change their mind about asking for help before it gets worse.”

Seidhom further wrote that while flying back for more fuel, he observed six more people “waving for help.”

“Fellow pilots be safe out there,” he said. “We will be on the north side of the mountain where they appreciate help. These people need help and they are turning us away.”

The Civil Rights Lawyer (@johnbryanesq) on X / Twitter brought all this to the world’s attention. This is the same account, by the way, that sued the government during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic” over its “stay at home” orders.

“When I sued the state during covid, challenging the ‘stay at home’ order, the excuse given by the governor’s lawyers was the ability to control occupancy of a ‘disaster area’ by executive order,” the account explained.

“They just declared the entire state a ‘disaster area’ (because of Hurricane Helene). It’s their go-to.”

Blocking citizens from helping other citizens is the same thing the government did following the disaster in Lahaina, Maui. FEMA and other government officials ordered the place a no-go for private citizens, which begs the question: what are they trying to hide?

By the way, a man named Bill Guyther is offering his helicopter landing pad in Green Mountain, N.C., as an option for rescuers. It is located at 357 Bailey Settlement Rd. and he wants people to use it because there are “hundreds of people around there that need help … Some with medical conditions,” he wrote on Facebook.

“If you guys can get anything to that spot you have my full permission to land on my property.”

How can there even be an election when tens of thousands, if not millions, of people do not have running water or electricity due to Hurricane Helene? Find out more at Chaos.news.
