Armed Federal Agents Enter Warehouse in Puerto Rico to Seize Hoarded Electric Equipment

[Windparadox]

`
On Saturday, a day after becoming aware of a massive store of rebuilding materials being held by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, the U.S. federal government — the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, along with their security detail — entered a Palo Seco warehouse owned by the public utility to claim and distribute the equipment, according to a spokesperson for the Corps.

Rumors of a tense standoff had been circulating on the island, but the encounter was confirmed to The Intercept in a statement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Asked if the federal officers were armed when they entered the warehouse, USACE spokesperson Luciano Vera said they were indeed accompanied by security detail and quickly began distributing the material after seizing it. Vera declined to say whether there was a confrontation at the entrance, saying only that PREPA officials ultimately toured the warehouse along with the feds:....... Source

The far left, MSM will not be reporting this as it is an attempt at theft by the Puerto Rican power company and their contacts within the government. They want to continue the narrative that the problems in PR are with the US government and trump, which is bull shit. Puerto Rico is a cesspool of criminal activity. ​

So, Puerto Rico has been deliberately hiding, and refusing to distribute, supplies and equipment provided by the U.S. Government, in an effort to show that "Trump don't give a shit about brown people"? Do I have that right?

I'm sure, any minute now, the big 3 networks will cover this as their main story.

“Due to the size of the warehouse,” Vera said, accounting for everything contained therein is still underway days later. Among the materials recovered so far are “2,875 pieces of critical material to contractors” along with the sleeves of full-tension steel, a component of Puerto Rican electrical infrastructure required to erect new power lines. PREPA did not respond to The Intercept’s request for comment, though in a statement to the Associated Press, it rejected allegations that it had failed to distribute the warehouse’s contents. The AP only reported that “officials over the weekend also discovered some needed materials in a previously overlooked warehouse owned by Puerto Rico’s Electric Power Authority.” How they discovered them and how they were obtained is a story that has not been fully told.

More equipment, crews head to Puerto Rico for power boost

He told The Associated Press that officials over the weekend also discovered some needed materials in a previously overlooked warehouse owned by Puerto Rico’s Electric Power Authority.

The lack of some of those hard-to-find pieces had delayed energizing certain lines, according to the Corps of Engineers, which said the material included transformers, splices and hundreds of a key small piece no longer in stock elsewhere.

Puerto Rico’s energy infrastructure is about 44 years old, compared with an average 18 years on the U.S. mainland, so a lot of parts damaged or destroyed by the hurricane are no longer available and have to be manufactured, Lloyd said.

It is unclear why power company officials had not provided the equipment previously. The Corps of Engineers said that the company’s transmission division controls that warehouse and that it lacked transparency in inventory and accountability.

There is so much more to what is going on in Puerto Rico than anyone knows. You also can’t find easily the misuse of funds that were raised either. But those there helping know.

It's a cesspool of corruption

According to The Intercept, FEMA agents entered a public utility warehouse and found a massive store of rebuilding materials. The supplies, bought with taxpayer money, were supposed to be distributed to contractors to aid in the rebuilding process, but they were kept in the warehouse by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority. Who knows when these supplies arrived on the island.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers confirmed the report to The Intercept. Armed FEMA agents toured the facility with PREPA, and immediately started distributing the supplies to contractors.

Golly gee. Anyone surprised about this? They've held back relief supplies to give them to only those who support their Leftist agendas. What makes this any different?

I see Fox news is putting their own twist on things. Probably just overlooked. Sounds like a political battle down there and who would the Trump team be on, not the side in charge now that wants statehood.

Alongside FEMA, Mammoth negotiated a $15 million payment from PREPA upfront and will be paid biweekly. The initial contract is for 120 days of work, though Mammoth stated repeatedly on the conference call that they expect that to be extended. “We hope,” Straehla said, “this leads to additional work in rebuilding the infrastructure after the emergency situation.”

There’s a Shady Puerto Rico Contract You Didn’t Hear About

Fucking traitors

 

[theHawk]

Democrats could care less about any of their special interest groups, whether it be Hispanics, gays, or women. It’s all about power and their Agenda.

 

[S.J.]

They're so consumed by their hate for Donald Trump they'll do anything to make him look bad, even if it means people will die. There's no level to which Democrats won't stoop.
