The continuing corruption of Puerto Rico

Posted on by

Outed, once again, because of focus on Hurricane Florence, about to strike the east coast of the United States near the Carolinas this week.

Whilst on Twitter, I came across the Tweet below which contains important information, attributions and series of photographs. This should make you sick on any number of levels. The human level, the compassion level, the corruption level and the incompetence of Puerto Rico.

I last wrote about Puerto Rico’s corruption involving its Leftist Demorat Mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto — who lied baldly to Geraldo Rivera, on October 3rd of 2017. Soto continually claimed that she was getting no help from President Trump. We know that was a lie as documented in my post.

More information has been revealed. First, the Tweet that captured my attention.

Then there was this video from David Begnaud himself:

Here are the enlarged photos of millions of water bottles still stagnating, falling apart, on the aforementioned Puerto Rico runway.

This is, of course, a humanitarian disaster of incredible proportions. It is also a massive, rampant and continuing waste of US taxpayer dollars — money coming from your pocket — so that certain people in Puerto Rico, for political purposes or rank, naked corruption, can point their fingers in damnation at the people who tried to help.

Let’s be blunt. FEMA is not, I repeat: NOT a first responder. They only assist in the aftermath. Local agencies and authorities are responsible for themselves and for coordination with FEMA if an event can be anticipated. Once supplies have been provided, it is up to the local agencies to take the ball and run, with FEMA and other outlets as assistance.

The Puerto Rican situation wasn’t because of a DC dropped ball. It was because of localized ignorance, apathy, corruption or a host of political motivations to include the various island unions that were supposed to be tasked with the movement of aid.

Stop with the “poor Puerto Rico” crap.
