Steve: Please note that I asked Archangel Michael on the Hour with an Angel pre-record this morning (Oct. 17) if FEMA was actually helping Puerto Rico and he replied “minimally.” If you recall, FEMA did not help New Orleans residents during Hurricane Katrina.
With regard to recovery from the California fires, Barbara writes in.
I also asked AAM this morning on the AHWAA pre-record if the wildfires were a false-flag, using laser, plasma, or scalar weapons. He said it was not, that it was accidental, even if it does not appear to have been.
In case you know of any Californians who can use this…
