Satanism in Asheville (for the Digital Age)

Asheville, North Carolina.

I am here change humanity and wake people up .

We all have the power to heal ourselves!!!

I have personally done many years of hands-on research, often dangerous ,

in and around the city of Asheville, NC .

Asheville is WELL KNOWN as the satanist/pagan mecca of the east coast. Nestled in the mysterious Blue Ridge mountains as they descend from Virginia, such remote mountains and valleys have long been the desired sites for bizarre and often violent

cult rituals, many culminating in human sacrifice.

This bullshit has been floating around since FreakinAsheville.com was a thing.

“Now, calm down, ma’am.”

“THIS KIND OF CRIME IS FAR MORE COMMON IN THESE MOUNTAINS THAN MOST FOLKS KNOW. And DON’T even trust the police you think are working with you, BECAUSE MANY OF THEM ARE ACTUAL SATANISTS.”

(Admission from the North Carolina Bureau of Victim Justice.) ^[citation ^needed^]

Are you different? Do you refuse to be normal?

Are you a freak in the mainstream? GREAT!

FreakinAsheville is building a progressive community of thinkers, doers, movers and shakers who live and groove outside the box. If you are ready to tap into a social consciousness that thinks for itself and is ready to express it all, this is it!

Ok, we admit we are slightly off-center – but our funky functionality and creative info-attainment make up for what hygiene and good manners we’re lacking. We may be a little sarcastic at times, but our twisted nature gives us the ability to break down barriers, soar with the park pigeons and move mountains of mental baggage that makes way for people who are ready to shift gears to a winning slot in the human race.

Desperation grows to find hundreds unaccounted for in wake of Helene

President Joe Biden is expected to fly over Asheville, North Carolina, Wednesday, where the damage from Hurricane Helene has so severely narrowed access to the city that the president’s motorcade cannot make it in, the mayor says.

“The only highway into Asheville – of the four highways into Asheville – that’s open:

is the one near our airport, and we can’t shut it down for a motorcade,” Mayor Esther Manheimer said during an interview on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins Monday. The mayor said by flying over the city, Biden will be able to see the magnitude of the damage.

Asheville still does not have power, water or cell phone service in most areas, and residents are in need of basic supplies, she added. The city’s rivers have never been as high as they were in this storm, and the flooding has prompted an unprecedented number of swift water rescues, Manheimer said.

In addition to federal and state help the city is now receiving on an emergency basis, she said the community will need longer term federal assistance to rebuild. More than 1.5 million customers are still without power.

Helene’s path of destruction: How storm devastated six states in one weekend (msn.com)

Power is still out for more than 1.5 million homes and businesses from Florida to West Virginia four days after Helene roared through late last week, according to PowerOutage.us. Georgia and the Carolinas account for most of these outages: 1.3 million total.

Here’s how the outages stand as of 8 a.m. ET:

South Carolina: 612,000+
Georgia: 468,000+
North Carolina: 292,000+
Virginia: 75,000+
Florida: 67,000+
West Virginia: 17,000+

Temperatures from the Southeast through the mid-Atlantic will remain near or just above normal for much of the week as rescue and recovery efforts continue.

High temperatures will be in the 80s from Florida to southern North Carolina Tuesday while 70s will be more common from western North Carolina — where some of the most catastrophic damage is — into Virginia. Overnight lows will dip into the 60s for much of the affected region, with upper 50s possible in western North Carolina and low 70s in Florida’s Big Bend region.

Mules trek heavy storm destruction to bring supplies to North Carolina residents

Mules are helping deliver supplies to North Carolina residents devastated by Hurricane Helene, according to Mountain Mule Packer Ranch. In a series of posts to Facebook Monday, the ranch said it is working to coordinate packs of mules to deliver supplies to areas affected by the storm.

Mike Toberer told the AP he decided to bring a dozen of his mules to deliver food, water and diapers to hard-to-reach mountainous areas. The ranchers and mules “headed out” Monday morning, “and will continue to reply as quickly as possible to those in need,” his posts said.

“We are planning to head to Weaverville, NC…but available to go to other areas of need as well,” said the post. “We’ll take our chainsaws, and we’ll push those mules through,” he told the AP, noting each mule can carry about 200 pounds of supplies.

Mountain Mule Packer Ranch is located in Raeford, about 110 miles east of Charlotte and about 245 miles from Weaverville. “We have two fully loaded trucks and 20’ stock trailers heading to” western North Carolina for assistance, according to the post.

“We have been overwhelmed with the amount of support and encouragement received about our efforts to pack supplies in by mule trains to those affected by Hurricane Helene,” a post said.

Key takeaways

8:30am update 10/1/24: Mountain Mule Packer Ranch

Mike and the mule team made it to their staging area in Montreat yesterday and have already been helpful to families in need! They will be doing all they can in Black Mountain today. Thankful to Five 11’s Livestock Hauling for offering help in hauling mules so we could bring more supplies up! And appreciate being able to help support Cajun Navy 2016 on their efforts as well!

The team here at the ranch will be shopping for more supplies today, to restock them tomorrow! We appreciate the huge outpouring of requests on how to get supplies to us. Because of the conditions in the mountains and the way the team will be moving around, that is hard to coordinate.

We will bring a trailer to the Food Lion shopping center this afternoon at approximately 4pm if there is anyone in the area that wants to add to the supplies we are bringing! Please let me know if this is something you’d like to do, and we can be there between 4-5pm today to collect what you have!! God bless you all and thank you for keeping prayers lifted up!!

Approximately 600 people were still unaccounted for in Asheville, North Carolina, Monday afternoon as the city suffers from washed out roads and bridges, cell service outages and blackouts, the mayor told CNN.

Extensive damage to roads and infrastructure has isolated many remote communities and prevented crews from reaching residents with vital supplies, Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer – Search (bing.com) said on “The Source” Monday night.

“There’s still a lot of folks that we need to be able to reach, so that is the priority,” Manheimer told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “But we also are in a situation where we don’t have water and power in most areas, and we do need resources like drinking water and food and other household supplies and personal supplies people might need.”

The devastation wrought by Helene in the city is “catastrophic,” the mayor said. “The pictures don’t do it justice”, President Joe Biden will fly over the city on Wednesday to survey the damage, she added.

What we’re covering here

• Climbing death toll: At least 130 people have died across six states and officials fear the death toll can rise following Hurricane Helene. Many more remain missing, perhaps unable to leave their location or unable to contact family where communications infrastructure is in shreds.

• Power and infrastructure outages: Hundreds of roads remain closed, especially in the Carolinas, hampering the delivery of badly-needed supplies. Some areas are so inaccessible supplies are being delivered by mules and by air and people are hiking hours to try to help loved ones. More than 1.5 million customers remain without power, according to poweroutage.us.

The death toll from Helene continues to rise as authorities across six states slowly access communities that have been isolated by cell service outages and inaccessible roads.

At least 130 deaths have been confirmed so far in the Southeast.

Here is the breakdown of deaths by state, according to CNN’s tally:

North Carolina: 56

Yes, it’s quite a dramatic situation. The debris filling Lake Lure in North Carolina is a result of severe flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. The scene has been described as “post-apocalyptic” due to the extensive damage and debris from the destroyed town 1. The flooding has wreaked havoc on the area, leading to significant cleanup and recovery efforts 1.

Intense rain events are making 1-in-100-year floods much more frequent, report found From CNN’s Ella Nilsen – Search (bing.com)

Intense rain events like Hurricane Helene are making the idea of a “1-in-100-year flood event” obsolete, according to a 2023 report from the First Street Foundation, a non-profit focused on weather risk research.

The report found half the American population lives in a county where a 1-in-100-year flood is at least twice as likely now as past years, coming once every 50 years, on average, rather than 100.

First Street found parts of Western North Carolina hit by Helene could get a 1-in-100 year flood every 11 to 25 years. Stronger storms could impact all areas of the country. In much of the Northeast, the Ohio River Basin, Northwestern California, the Texas Gulf Coast and the Mountain West, the rainfall depths for a 1-in-100-year event could happen at least every 5 to 10 years.

Hurricane Helene will rank among the deadliest hurricanes to strike the mainland United States in the past 50 years – and the death toll, which is already more than 100, will likely continue to climb.

Hurricane Katrina tops the list with at least 1,833 fatalities from the storm and subsequent flooding. Hurricane Ian, which struck southeast Florida in 2022, caused 150 direct and indirect fatalities.

Helene is currently third on the list, already surpassing Hurricane Irma from 2017, which killed 92 in the US, mostly in Florida.

Hurricane Harvey and Superstorm Sandy resulted in between 60-75 fatalities in the US.

Note: This list only includes mainland US hurricanes, so Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico is not included.

There could be more tropical trouble coming in the Caribbean and Gulf

From CNN Meteorologists Monica Garrett and Mary Gilbert

Another storm could develop this week in the western Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico, which isn’t what anyone in the US wants to hear in the wake of Helene.

But unlike Helene, this potential storm could have more obstacles in its path to development.

A large and disorganized area of low pressure with showers and storms over the western Caribbean has been given a medium chance of developing into a tropical system in the next seven days, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Yes, it looks like there could be more tropical trouble brewing in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Meteorologists are monitoring a broad area of low pressure in the Caribbean Sea that could develop into a tropical storm as it moves into the Gulf ¹ ². This comes shortly after the impact of Hurricane Helene, which caused significant damage in parts of the southeastern United States ³.

The exact path and intensity of this potential storm are still uncertain, but it’s a situation worth keeping an eye on, especially for those in the southeastern U.S. who are still recovering from Helene ² ³.

Tropical Storm Helene organizes in the northwestern Caribbean (yahoo.com)

Tropical development is possible in the next seven days.

CNN Weather

Environmental conditions could become conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression could form later this week or this weekend while the system is over the southern Gulf of Mexico or northwestern Caribbean Sea, according to the NHC.

At this point it’s 45 mph winds were already stronger than a tropical depression, so NHC declared the formation of Tropical Storm Helene at 11:00 a.m. EDT on Sept. 24 with the center located in the far northwestern Caribbean about 170 miles south-southeast of the western tip of Cuba.

Here’s why hurricanes like Helene are getting more powerful : Short Wave : NPR

Weather models are hinting at a possible tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico early next week, though it is too early to be certain. Until an area of low pressure forms, any forecast modeling on the potential storm will likely continue to vary widely with its ultimate strength and track. Given this, anyone near the Gulf is advised to monitor the forecast.

Hurricanes often organize over the northwestern Caribbean due to several key factors:
