Western North Carolina has world's richest lithium, purest quartz deposits: Is Hurricane Helene a land grab by DOD to steal these valuable resources?

Conspiracy theories are circulating the web about what really happened with Hurricane Helene and how it is allowing the federal government to seize valuable land underneath which are large deposits of valuable minerals. Some analysts say there was unusual atmospheric activity during Helene's track that appears to have produced such a high voltage that something was able to "push" it towards the areas that got hit the hardest. The reason could have to do with all those valuable minerals. "We have the richest deposit of lithium in North Carolina," reported 100percentfedup.com. "We have a top producer of lithium, Albemarle, getting a $90 million contract from the Department of Defense to create a lithium mine. Guess who has 12 million shares of Albemarle? BlackRock." Keep in mind that before Helene hit, many local residents were protesting against the creation of lithium mines in their area. Now, many of those same people's homes and livelihoods are destroyed and Albemarle and competitors like Piedmont Lithium, presumably, now have access to exactly what they want without the citizen protests. Albemarle, by the way, received a $90 million grant from the DOD to advance its domestic mining operations – operations that locals throughout western North Carolina do not want in their now-destroyed backyards. "Something doesn't smell right," 100percentfedup.com noted. "Are we seeing a similar tactic that was used in Hawaii for a land grab? Lahaina, Maui 2.0?" (Related: Much of western North Carolina is now isolated from the rest of the world due to blocked and destroyed roads and damaged energy infrastructure.)

High-purity quartz facilities in Spruce Pine shut down indefinitely

Another valuable mineral that is only found in the mountains of western North Carolina – and specifically in Spruce Pine – is high-purity quartz, a mineral that is critical for the manufacture of semiconductors, solar panels and fiber-optic cables. According to reports, two facilities that mine and produce high-purity quartz, Sibelco and The Quartz Corp, are both closed indefinitely due to extensive damage caused by Hurricane Helene. Just last year, Sibelco announced a $200 million investment to double the capacity of its high-purity quartz mining and production operation. That investment is now on the rocks because of what Hurricane Helene did to the area. All of the company's employees are safe and accounted for, according to a statement. Previously, some of them were "unreachable due to ongoing power outages and communication challenges." "Please rest assured that Sibelco is actively collaborating with government agencies and third-party rescue and recovery operations to mitigate the impact of this event and to resume operations as soon as possible," the company said. Between the loss of high-purity quartz production and these issues with lithium companies trying to barge their way into communities of western North Carolina that do not want them, it sure does appear as though there is much more than meets the eye pertaining to Hurricane Helene. It is nothing short of strange, to say the least, that the Biden regime has really been ramping up its efforts to create a battery supply chain here in the U.S. to support its electric vehicle (EV) pipe dreams. "October surprise," one person wrote about the devastation. "More to come, I'm sure," responded another. The powers that be (TPTB) have apparently amassed so much power that they no longer care if the public knows about their greedy scamming operations designed to steal land and resources away from We the People.
