Biden-Harris' FCC Nuked 20,000 Starlink Terminals For North Carolina That Could've Saved Lives

On Monday, the North Carolina State Climate Office said Hurricane Helene was a "monster storm" that unleashed every "worst-case scenario" for western North Carolina.
Ashville Mayor Esther Manheimer told CNN's The Source with Kaitlan Collins on Monday that over 600 people are unaccounted for.
Some towns have been wiped off the map after torrential rains dumped from Helene unleashed 'biblical' floods.
Chimney Rock, North Carolina obliterated by flash flood from remnants of Hurricane Helene. 😮

Power outages across western North Carolina remain widespread on Tuesday morning. Folks on X are saying entire cellular networks have been damaged as a humanitarian crisis unfolds.
Dear @elonmusk we need help in Western North Carolina. We have no power, no water, and very little communications. We are having to travel miles to get gas, food, and have cell service. All of the citizens and emergency services sure could use some Starlink service. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/fZgfE8rs5A

Western North Carolina has been hit hard by the recent hurricane! Still no internet or cell service in my area. I’m actually at a nearby university getting onto their Internet. The gas stations are running out of gas, stores are running out of food in Western North Carolina. pic.twitter.com/jCUmsab9tq

Helene shows how fragile modern society is when a monster storm invades the Appalachian region. Yet, Elon Musk's space internet company could've supplied residents with Starlink terminals over the years through a rural federal program. However, the Biden administration's weaponization of the FCC blocked nearly 20,000 terminals for the state that would've been crucial communication links for residents that have been cut off from the world.
WEAPONIZATION: Remember the Biden-Harris regime blocked almost 20,000 North Carolina residents from having Starlink to punish Elon Musk for failing to support their regime. Meanwhile the regime had the FCC ignore the law and its own rules to expedite George Soros's takeover of… https://t.co/MyE7lWIVjY

Ha.
Also on Monday, former President Trump visited Valdosta, Ga., where he toured storm-ravaged neighborhoods. He told the press that he spoke to Musk about providing Starlink terminals for disaster areas.
This collaboration between @Starlink and other private sector actors and Trump, is private industry at its best! Starlink should not face such scrutiny from the FCC. We should be celebrating starlink as an American company innovating, endlessly! https://t.co/S5xiA9jG4i

Musk tweeted:
Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 1, 2024
Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away.
Here's what X users are saying about the weaponization of Biden's FCC against Musk's Starlink:
The FCC needs to be investigated over this.
— Reddit Lies (@reddit_lies) September 30, 2024
I’d love to see the state’s Attorney General file a lawsuit against the FCC for misconduct.

All because of politics. Starship 5 test grounded too because of some nonsense. If you told them Starship could ship millions of Haitians to our shores that would change their minds real fast.

The FCC should be held responsible for

obstructing Elon Musk's@SpaceX from
delivering fast internet connection to the American citizens
especially in regions prone to natural disasters.@Starlink saves lives.
FAA must answer also about stopping Starship and harming progress.
This is yet another classic example of elections having real-world consequences. Starlink terminals, by the thousands, could've been operating across the storm-damaged area; instead, the far-left in the Biden-Harris camp were hellbent on weaponizing federal agencies against Musk's companies over his 'free speech' X platform. This is insane.
"Looks like there's a storm brewing, and it's not good news," writes ancient Slashdot reader jd. "Whether or not the bugs are classically security defects or not, this is extremely bad PR for the Linux and Open Source community. It's not clear from the article whether this affects other Open Source projects, such as FreeBSD." From a report: A critical unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability has been discovered, impacting all GNU/Linux systems. As per agreements with developers, the flaw, which has existed for over a decade, will be fully disclosed in less than two weeks. Despite the severity of the issue, no Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifiers have been assigned yet, although experts suggest there should be at least three to six. Leading Linux distributors such as Canonical and RedHat have confirmed the flaw's severity, rating it 9.9 out of 10. This indicates the potential for catastrophic damage if exploited. However, despite this acknowledgment, no working fix is still available. Developers remain embroiled in debates over whether some aspects of the vulnerability impact security.

US Africa Command said on Monday that it had completed its withdrawal from Niger by the September 15 deadline.
The command said that the withdrawal of approximately 1,000 military personnel began in May. AFRICOM completed its withdrawal from Air Base 101 in Niamey on July 7, and the last US troops left Air Base 201 in Agadez on August 5.
“Additionally, the US Africa Command Coordination Element, consisting of a two-star General Officer and staff, has departed from Niger,” AFRICOM said.
The US was ordered to leave by the government that came to power following a July 2023 coup that ousted former President Mohamed Bazoum. The US was looking to stay in the country but was asked to leave following a meeting with the government, known as the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP), back in March.
Nigerien Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine said the US was asked to leave due to threats made by US officials in the meeting about Niger’s relationship with Russia and Iran.
The US is working to beef up its presence elsewhere in West Africa after losing Air Base 201, which served as a drone hub for US military operations across the region.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the Pentagon is refurbishing an airfield in Benin to accommodate US helicopters, deploying Green Berets to Ivory Coast, and working on a deal with Chad to send troops to a base that used to be occupied by US forces.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Agence France-Presse: Australia will ban children from using social media with a minimum age limit as high as 16, the prime minister said Tuesday, vowing to get kids off their devices and "onto the footy fields." Federal legislation to keep children off social media will be introduced this year, Anthony Albanese said, describing the impact of the sites on young people as a "scourge." The minimum age for children to log into sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok has not been decided but is expected to be between 14 and 16 years, Albanese said. The prime minister said his own preference would be a block on users aged below 16. An age verification trial to test various approaches is being conducted over the coming months, the centre-left leader said. [...]
It is not even clear that the technology exists to reliably enforce such bans, said the University of Melbourne's associate professor in computing and information technology, Toby Murray. "The government is currently trialling age assurance technology. But we already know that present age verification methods are unreliable, too easy to circumvent, or risk user privacy," he said. But the prime minister said parents expected a response to online bullying and the access social media gave to harmful material. "These social media companies think they're above everyone," he told a radio interviewer. "Well, they have a social responsibility and at the moment, they're not exercising it. And we're determined to make sure that they do," he said.
