I don't know if this is true, but if so, it'll make your blood boil! He's saying that fema only allows preferred vendors in for the sake of kickbacks.

It is time for the alphabet agencies to go away. They are a waste of money.

Like I said, I don't know if it's true, but the fact that I can possibly believe it illustrates how far down the government's credibility has slipped.

From Congress critters being exempt from the laws they pass, (insider trading) federal law enforcement and the CIA being used against Trump, down to these allegations against fema it's starting to look like the whole government is corrupt.

Agreed. FEMA appears to have rules against accepting food from individuals for distribution to disaster victims. Back in 2011 we had a big wildfire here, and a local church volunteered their annex building to house and feed folks. People brought in food from home, Pizza Hut donated lots of pizza, and the whole community pitched in to help. The county judge asked FEMA for help, and when they finally arrived, they immediately threw out ALL of the donated food and replaced it with the canned/processed food from their warehouses. That REALLY pissed off the locals, and they told FEMA to pack up and go home.
It seems now FEMA has stretched those rules to only allow food from their favored vendors list.

Fema has responded with this web page.

Since I've been lied to by the right and left it's hard for me to trust anything on the internet, but since you have personal knowledge I'll trust your info, olfart.

They're not trying to stop Trump, they're trying to stop US! Trump is just in their way. Just like he said.

FEMA was told by the NC governor to piss off & he did not want FEMA’s help or any active duty military
He wants command and control of everything instead of turning it over to the feds

He wants command and control of everything instead of turning it over to the feds That's probably going to be the safest bet at this point. Coordinate with Cajun Navy and the like.
