Elon Musk says FEMA blocking, confiscating aid then claim it is their aid

I can't say that I disagree, except for one point.

I think this isn't really a "CCP playbook" thing... this is what any organization will do to protect and aggrandize itself... which has the added benefit of evoking exploitation and political profit...

Churches, charitable organizations, civic activists, political aspirants, and even some commercially-motivated folks have done this throughout history in different ways, but all to the same effect.

It's almost as if they want to spawn conspiracy theory as a smoke screen... as a wise member once said... "Hmmm."

You can argue our government's motivations for the lack of news, and solid information on FEMA recovery operations, but you can't argue it's not similar to waht Russia and China do during disasters all the time 

Just because other entities adopt the CCP playbook doesn't mean it wasn't/ or isn't a prime tactic of either Putin or Xi. Hell Maxmars Russia and China routinely fudge disaster numbers it's a well-known tactic. 

It's the nature of the socialistic communist bear and dragon, to protect the masses from too much negativity that doesn't concern them personally.
