I was told the justification for stopping unofficial aid is that they want to vet that the aid is safe, uncontaminated, not spoiled, properly certified equipment, etc etc. But yeah, whatever the reason is, they intercept unauthorized food, water, medicine, or anything else headed into a disaster zone.
And yeah that reason sounds like bullshit. It sounds like a solution that’s wrong 99% of the time in order to prevent a problem that might have occurred 1% of the time. If there’s well researched evidence that people in disaster zones were given rotten food, and that it was worse than starving, or that people were being routinely injured or killed by unapproved rescue choppers then sure fine. But I don’t believe it. I would need to be convinced. -Adam From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Chuck Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2024 8:47 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Starlink I could not believe what that administrator said.

They forced the husband to be rescued via rope line across a flooding river. Endangered him and the crew that had to hike in and do the rope rescue. Helicopter could have just picked up the guy and had him with his wife in 5 minutes. Then a few days later they asked the helicopter guy to come back and do rescues. Of course now it was “authorized”. It is the mentality of those with “authority”. He was not “approved” to to do the rescue. He did not break any law, there were no temporary flight restrictions. He did not create a hazard. He had permission of the guy to come back and land there to pick him up. He just did something that was not under the control of the “authorities”. They know better of course. They threatened him with arrest. So, I find it super easy to believe that the “authorities” would impound a truck of anything heading into the area they claim to be controlling and managing.

Just sayin’ I think it is nice that Elon is out handing out free terminals. Just like that private helicopter pilot that rescued the woman but was prohibited from making the return flight to get her husband, the government is full of people that do not like mavricks. Elon showing up with terminals and having local emergency people blocking them or taking them for their own use is not beyond the pale. Or are you really convinced the FEMA is a paragon of efficiency?
