![Insane video shows the drastic change in water level and devastation caused by the flooding in Western NC. Jay-Paul Thibault in Burnsville, NC filmed how quickly the water rose and the destruction that followed. Unfortunately this is the sad reality for hundreds if not thousands of families. Please keep praying, keep giving, keep sharing, and keep helping. I'll link to his GoFundMe to rebuild in the next post. 0:02 - The Distance From the River to the Bottom of the Bridge is 22 Feet Thu 9/26 - 8:48 AM 0:09 - "The water's already up about 5 feet I'm guessing... so it's pretty intense." Fri 9/27 - 7:34 AM 1:27 - "This is the road [completely under water] and there's no crossing on 19W." Fri 9/27 - 8:14 AM 1:48 - "I was just told this flood is going to exceed the flood of 1916 which dwarfed the flood of 1977." (The water is at the 1000-year level) 3:46 - "I think I'm going to lose the bridge." Fri 9/27 - 8:27 AM 5:56 - "Well there's not much I can do about it but the bridge is gone. I've got no way over there until we repair that." Fri 9/27 - 8:37 AM 6:28 - "So I'm safe and I'm at the Fire Station. We're gonna wait it out here." Fri 9/27 - 8:49 AM 6:56 - "We've got some trucks that got swept away and this is getting pretty crazy... there's the house that was just refinished and that looks like it could get swept away. I hope it doesn't. That's Jeff's house. I'd say we're close to 20 feet over the regular height of the river." Fri 9/27 - 10:10 AM 8:56 - "So we are now on the roof [on top of trucks in the fire station garage] hanging out watching the river go by and we've got about 6 more feet before it's at our feet here now." Fri 9/27 - 10:42 AM 9:13 - "We are punching our way out of the roof at this point in case the flood continues [cutting a hole in the ceiling with an ax to get to the roof of the fire station]. As you can see, everything in here is floating away." Fri 9/27 - 11:51 AM 9:43 - "Holy sh!t is all I can say [while on top of the roof]. The entire dump station is gone; the building, the trash containers." Fri 9/27 - 12:02 PM 12:08 - "Look at the house. Holy sh!t. That's going downstream... That house is just floating away. Been there for 100 years probably." Fri 9/27 - 3:08 PM 14:35 - "So I found my pickup truck [upside down and completely destroyed]." Fri 9/27 - 3:09 PM 14:47 - "So here's the road, or what's left of it." 16:34 - "All of my building is gone; all the construction I did... everything I own... everything that I built is gone. I don't know how to express this. The whole farm here is gone. This is where I parked my car and we had the bridge and it's just gone. So I guess you start over. I left the goats unlocked and they would've gone up the hill. But everything I've done for the last 2 years is pretty much non-existent."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1842402412536996300/amplify_video_thumb/1842400545383895041/img/7N2aDBvJTCGgG00b.jpg)

🚨 CAPTURED - PATERSON CITY HALL SURRENDERS TO PALESTINE - TAXPAYER-FUNDED HAMAS CHEERLEADING ON AMERICAN SOIL Here we go again....we are watching America fall to Islam in real time.... June 5, 2026 - Mayor Andre Sayegh and his entire council turned Paterson City Hall into a full-blown Palestinian propaganda circus. Palestinian flags everywhere. Kids chanting “Free Palestine.” Controversial Imams praying to Allah. And elected officials clapping like trained seals while the radical Palestinian-American Community Center (PACC) ran the show. 🚨The traitors who showed up to celebrate: 🔺 Mayor Andre Sayegh — bragged about his re-election, renamed Main Street “Palestine Way,” appointed the first Palestinian-American councilmen and cabinet members, and declared Paterson “a better place because Palestinians call our city home.” He called the entire council up to stand with the flag and cheered, “Free and sovereign state of Palestine.” 🔺 Council President Dr. Melissa Mims, Vice President Marissa Davila, Councilman Ibrahim “Ibby” Omar, Shahin Khalique, and the rest — all lined up like props while the crowd screamed “Free Palestine.” They openly bragged about their Muslim political machine taking over: First Palestinian-American (and Muslim) in the mayor’s cabinet (Aman Abushi - “one of the best appointments I ever made”). First Palestinian-American city councilman (Alaa Abdelaziz - now Assemblyman and “first Muslim” in the NJ legislature). Second Palestinian-American councilman (Ibrahim “Ibby” Omar). Councilman Omar boasted: “My council colleagues support Palestinians… not just here in Paterson, but 6,000 miles away in Palestine.” They bragged it’s “spreading throughout our state” — other NJ towns now raising the flag too 🔺 The speeches were straight eliminationist poison: Bessma Sharat (PACC Programs Director): “Today we raise the flag in the shadow of an ongoing genocide in Gaza… settler violence in the West Bank… end to military funding to Israel, end to the occupation, sanctions for war crimes.” She called it the “Naksa” (1967 “setback” = Israel’s victory) and vowed “Palestine will be free.” 🔺 The Imam (Islamic Center of Central County): Praised the mayor, then unloaded: “Nakba 1948, Naksa 1967… occupation still in Palestine… free free Palestine… right of return… We ask the White House to stop the occupation… Let Netanyahu and Israel pull out right now today from West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.” Delivered straight from City Hall steps. 🔺 Parker Dia (ICE detainee, fresh out of jail, cheered by council): Equated U.S. border enforcement to “Palestinian genocide,” called ICE conditions “the same playbook” as Gaza, invented the “Palestine exception” to free speech, and screamed the flag represents “resistance” against America. 🔺 Youth brainwashing: Little kids reciting poems and singing Arabic songs about “my blood… my war… give it back to me” - ending every line with “Free, free Palestine!” 🔺 Followed by dabke dancing and free Palestinian flags handed out to children. They even had tables with coloring books, crafts, desserts from Chocolate House (Palestinian-owned), and coffee, all while demanding America defund Israel and open the borders. These frauds endlessly whine and cry about “Palestine” because it’s the perfect mobilization tool 0 exactly as spelled out in the Muslim Brotherhood’s secret 1982 blueprint “The Project.” That document calls Palestine the keystone of the entire worldwide Islamic plan: use it to rally the ummah, radicalize the next generation, forge the Red-Green Axis with leftists, fund jihad, build parallel societies that reject assimilation, and turn American cities into mini-Gazas. This is a calculated weapon to conquer from within - and Paterson is Exhibit A. Paterson isn’t America anymore. It’s the Muslim Brotherhood’s test case - and it’s spreading. Your politicians chose Palestine over America. Islam over America....

![It would be great if the chair of Transparency International, Anne Tolley, had to answer questions about transactions which have contributed to local rate increases. In my honest opinion, decision-making under the tenure of the commissioners has raised concerns. For example, public land was sold below market value on terms favourable to buyers over broader interests of ratepayers. In contrast, private land was purchased above or at market value often with favourable terms to the seller, raising questions about the cost and value to ratepayers. I made this LGOIMA request this morning stemming from the Council's Public Meeting. I would like to thank the new Council and the mayor for being far more transparent than the former unelected (but selected) Commissioners: Hi The Local Government Act 2002 promotes transparency, accountability, and democratic local government. The Auditor General stated in 2021 that: “Public accountability is about public organisations demonstrating to Parliament and the public their competence, reliability, and honesty in their use of public money and other public resources” Accordingly, I am making a request under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (“LGOIMA”) regarding the property at 160 to 176 Devonport Road, Tauranga (“the Property”). Second Valuation At the Council’s public meeting on 3 March 2025 (“March Council Meeting”), the Mayor stated in regard to the Property that: “The thing that disappoints me … but it is that it is another example where we have paid towards the top of the range of what we could have paid. You know, I think, we have heard today that potentially HOBEC [Holland Beckett Lawyers] pulled out of it cos it wasn’t economic to do a development and, its, again we have underestimated the asbestos costs of removing a building. Potentially we have underestimated the geotech issues we are going to have with the site. We have been through this with 90 Devonport Road where we sold an asset for a similar value and had to reduce it to make it work. Yet we have decided to pay the $10,000,000.00 and I am sure we are not going to get back from the vendors the extra to make this work financially. So, I get we bought this as a strategic asset, but we need to look at our processes more. We need to do our due diligence properly and we need to start paying market values for properties not above and I know we have one valuation that justifies this cost but the other one doesn’t back that up. I think that going forward that value for money piece is that we need to get a bit smarter with some of these transactions that we do”. At a public meeting earlier this week, a ratepayer asked the mayor about the second valuation. I understand that the mayor allegedly stated that the second valuation came in around $8.6 million to the early $9millions. This raises question given the Council confirmed in a LGOIMA response to me dated 19 September 2024 (“September LGOMIA”) that: 1) The Council paid $10 million for the Property and spent a further $1.53 million in demolition and development costs for 100 open air carparks; and 2) The gross annual debt funding cost for the Property (land and development) was $556,000 as at the date of the LGOIMA response. The Council’s December 2022 Agenda states that: “…5. The properties are earmarked for commercial/mixed use redevelopment in Priority One’s CBD blueprint, which forms part of Council’s City Centre Action and Investment Plan. 6. With this property becoming available, staff have identified several facets of the Strategic Acquisition Fund which does not enable it to be used efficiently for acquisitions of this nature. Staff will review this policy, to enable it to be used more strategically and flexibly, while still retaining appropriate checks and balances.” Visual Barriers for Carparks By way of summary, Council staff and Councillors stated at the March Council Meeting that $10 million of public funds were used to purchase the Property; where existing retail and offices were demolished which resulted in lost rental and rates and increased debt. That 100 “visible carparks” were established based on “anecdotal demand” (on the fringe of the CBD) after a more central carpark around the Central Precinct Development was closed by the Council around the same time. In addition, the Council is losing money on the carpark. A Councillor asked: “ … was it of a mindset that the Commissioners did this without evidence or did the staff actually present them with the evidence, and did they override it?” A Council staff member responded, that while he was not employed by the Council at that time, he understood that: “Yes, Elizabeth Street [existing carpark close to the Property] always has plenty of … or pretty much always has plenty of capacity. However, there is and we have done some work and currently doing some work to remove that visual barrier of a going to use a parking building” LGOIMA Request I request the following information: 1)The second valuation for the Property; 2) An unredacted copy of the Telfer Valuation dated December 2022; 3)The financial loss for the carpark broken down into calendar months since the carpark opened in September 2024; 4)All information concerning the “anecdotal demand” to develop a carpark on the Property; 5)The previous work that the Council undertook concerning removing a visual barrier for carparking buildings; 6)The cost of the work noted at point 5; 7)The current work that the Council is undertaking concerning the removal of visual barriers for carparking buildings; 8) The cost of the work noted at point 7; 9) All information concerning the “geotech issues” for the Property; and 10) All information about the Council review of the Strategic Acquisition Fund following the meeting in December 2022. While I understand that the Council has 20 working days to provide the second valuation to me, I would appreciate it if the document was sent sooner given that the mayor has made reference to the document and its contents at public meetings. I am happy to wait for the full statutory time period for the remainder of the information (if such time is required by the Council). In regards to another matter, I request that the information provided to me in my privacy request be unredacted to avoid having to take this matter to the Privacy Commissioner and Ombudsman. I look forward to hearing back from you. Kind regards Kirsten Murfitt Please head along to the rally against the Rate Increases at Memorial Park tomorrow at 1pm.
