Ted Duplessis-NOLA. 7:32 a.m.
How many Acres of Wetlands, buffers and Mangroves has the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, destroyed and allowed Big Oil companies, in lower Louisiana to destroy? And NOW they want to protect wetlands all the way up in Alexandria, La.? Please!
As if there needs to be any more proof, of the fact that the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is not only tied in with many racist factions in Louisiana state but a group that has to spend 10's of millions, of our tax money, for PR has to be doing something unethical and possibly criminal.
When it comes to destroying wetlands in important Parishes like St.Bernard and Plaquemines(these 2 Parishes are the first line of defense and act as a buffer zone, which USED to protect Louisiana from Hurricanes), the U.S. Army Corp has no problem with allowing habitat to be destroyed by Big Oil and land grabs from citizens but all of a sudden in Alexandria, La-the U.S. Army Corp is concerned and vexed about wetlands being "harmed" because a road development, that would cater to some black folks was about to be built!
Louisiana is my home and I love my home. Unfortunately Louisiana isn't like Kentucky where Government agencies and law enforcement are staffed with natives of that state, and by people who really care about the people and landmarks of the state. In Louisiana, we have a trend of allowing ignorant aliens- to staff these agencies and they prey and feed off of the people and often act in unethical and use down right corrupt tactics when going about their business of pleasing Big Oil companies. These oil companies, destroy and operate in Louisiana state, but they aren't Louisiana companies-therefore they have historically not paid any mind to destroyed habitat, La. wildlife, La. seafood industry and La. property. The British and Texas oil companies, have dished out hundreds of millions, to miseducate people into thinking that Hurricane Katrina created the Dead Zones in the Gulf and Bayous-but any idiot knows that these "dead zones" were springing up 20 years prior to Hurricane Katrina. 3 years ago, the oil companies officially help to print college level Science books, which state that "dead zones" in La. were created by Hurricane Katrina! Laughable!
Why aren't oil companies paying for levees built in a frivolous manner instead of tax payers? The technology is there, for solid levee systems and we still get levees stuffed with news-paper?
The latest case is from Alexandria, Louisiana. Some black folks(with some whites) in Alexandria, La have been trying to get a road built but many racist factions in that area, appear to not want Louisiana blacks to have a road without also taking their private property. This reminds me of H.U.D. and the state of Louisiana tearing down, livable homes, after Katrina, to ensure that blacks would be removed and displaced from the city of New Orleans. These people are so sadistic, that they didn't care if black kids and babies were left homeless and in strange states. The tearing down of black homes, came even faster than clean up crews. The Sugar-house Road project in Alexandria, Louisiana has been halted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on 8-13-09.
The U.S. Army Corp is doing in Alexandria,La what they have been doing in Plaquemines for decades-this foolish and corrupt trend of declaring an area unlivable and then pushing for a land grab of private property! Sounds like Bohemia Spillway-all over again!
The Army Corp of Engineers is citing the protection of wetlands (in Central Louisiana) as why the housing project can not be built and blacks are upset. What makes the U.S. Army Corp so suspect and proving that they operate from racist angles-is the fact that they have no second-thoughts about tearing down wetlands, where we really need them, in Plaquemines and St.Bernard Parish. These areas are the protecting Parish for New Orleans and other areas on the East-Central side of Louisiana state.
The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, allowed millions of acres of wetlands to be destroyed and even helped to claim land, declare flood plains-so that Big OIl could come in and destroy even more wetlands along the coastal regions of Louisiana state! It is absurd and ludicrous to pretend that they are worried about wetlands in Alexandria, La (a well nestled Central city, not sitting on any storm coast) but along the most important regions, this "We Must Protect the Wetlands" motto doesn't seem to apply to Plaquemines and St.Bernard Parish. How strange. The entire Gulf coast, including FLorida is a flood plain and has been like this since Native American dominance but there appears to be special declared flood zones in St.Bernard, Plaquemines and La Fourche Parish-that makes insurance so expensive, that people are priced off their land.
It simply makes no sense, and if something doesn't make sense in Louisiana, it usually means corruption mixed in with some form of racism or class-ism against rural Louisiana folks of all skin colors. Evidently, if your black, rural, lower middle class or blue collar and live onBayous and Bays-your seen as a second class citizen in La. state and have no constitutional rights!
Army Corp denies building of roads for black areas in Alexandria,La. but instead the city suggest taking private property to build on.
