From yesterday New California State Town Hall in San Luis Obispo, the expert from Disaster Remediation Solutions brought us the revelation about UN and other NGO disaster kickbacks confirms what many have suspected—globalist institutions are not about solving problems but about maintaining control through corruption. This is a massive roadblock to real solutions for disaster recovery, and it explains why efficient, cost-effective methods (like hemp-based soil detox or alternative energy solutions) are deliberately ignored.
Over the past decade, California has faced numerous natural disasters, leading to substantial financial allocations for disaster relief and recovery. While these funds aim to assist affected communities, there have been significant concerns regarding mismanagement, fraud, and corruption among contractors and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in disaster response.
Financial Overview of California’s Disaster Relief (2013-2023):
-
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Allocations: Between 2017 and 2019 alone, Congress provided over $139 billion in supplemental disaster funding nationwide, with a significant portion directed toward California due to devastating wildfires and other natural disasters.
-
State Fiscal Recovery Funds: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, California received over $43 billion from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to cover costs incurred between March 3, 2021, and December 31, 2024.
Documented Mismanagement and Fraud:
-
Homelessness Funds at Risk: A federal audit revealed that nearly $320 million allocated for homelessness initiatives in California was at risk due to inadequate fraud prevention measures.
-
Misuse of Disaster Relief Funds: In 2016, an audit found that a California city improperly spent $654,348 on excessive landfill costs and $393,704 on unrelated fees, highlighting the misuse of FEMA funds.
-
COVID-19 Relief Fund Corruption: A former high-ranking official in Orange County pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery, misusing over $500,000 in COVID-19 relief funds intended to feed the elderly.
Call for Transparency and Accountability:
With a renewed focus on transparency and accountability under the current administration, there is a pressing need to address these issues:
-
Emergency Auditing Team: The New California State should collaborate with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to establish an emergency auditing team. This team would be tasked with conducting comprehensive audits of disaster relief funds, identifying instances of fraud and mismanagement, and ensuring that funds are used effectively and efficiently.
-
Reducing Bureaucratic Red Tape: Streamlining processes and cutting unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles will enable faster and more efficient disaster response and restoration efforts. This includes revising procurement procedures, enhancing oversight mechanisms, and promoting transparency in contractor and NGO operations.
By implementing these measures, California can better safeguard public funds, ensure that aid reaches those in need, and restore public trust in disaster management and relief efforts.
