Social media users are questioning whether government and corporate interests invested in mining contracts in North Carolina are benefiting from recent devastating floods.
In one viral TikTok, a woman points out the Department of Defense recently invested $90 million into a company to mine lithium for electric cars.
“If that area has been inundated, it’s in a disaster zone, then the government can come in and do ’emminent domain’ and they can pay you what it was worth five years ago rather than what it’s worth right now,” the woman points out.

She goes on to discuss government weather modification efforts ongoing since 1947, with one experiment purportedly showing a hurricane’s course and speed could be manipulated.
“I’m sure this is just another coincidence, but do you know who owns the most shares in that lithium mine. BlackRock and Vanguard,” she adds.
In another viral TikTok, a man speculates the floods may have been orchestrated to benefit mining companies by tamping down public opposition to new lithium and quartz mines that already have large-scale contracts to fulfill.

Some are speculating recent incidents in the US, including an explosion at a Georgia chlorine plant and a widespread Verizon network outage, suggest an ongoing attack on America’s infrastructure.
