Will The Real Billy Nungessor, Plaquemines Parish President, Please Stand up! Sordid, Confused Sexual Habits of a Corrupt Man

By. Nagara Duplessis ( A native of Buras, La. and a freelance journalist/producer for CNN I-Reports & Fox Los Angeles. Has also written editorials for the Plaquemines Parish Watchman, L.A. Times, Baton Rouge Advocate, AOL-BV, Creole Folks & Hollywood Reporter)

 (Nungessor-Republican President of PlaqueminesParish & Dirty Old Man. I already know that William Nungessor will not push this issue because he has way too much to hide.)

Nungessor is not only a corrupt man but one who is hiding a deviant and sordid sexual life! 

I am reminded of the Eminem track "Will the Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up!"  Billy Nungessor isn't "slim" by any stretch of the imagination but he is "shady" and down right corrupt.

There are a few issues and skeletons about Billy Nungessor, which have remained off the radar unlike the Britney Spears song.  Lower Plaquemines Parish natives, have a few problems that have created significant hardships and stress for themselves and their families after the Army Corp of Engineers devastated the Parish, through deliberate civil engineering screw-ups.

Lower Plaquemines Parish, has always been one of Louisiana's most self-reliant, self-sufficient and affluent Parishes,in the state.  The folks of Plaquemines Parish, pretty much supported the entire state of La. except for New Orleans and Baton Rouge. It was a great place to raise a family and invest in small businesses.  Natives of lower Plaquemines, accounted for about 20% of the economic boom of Jefferson and Orleans Parish.  So, how can such an all-American Parish now be turned into a ghost land unless there was and is an ongoing effort to dismantle the family units and social structure of lower Plaquemines?

 

The only good thing that Billy Nungessor has worked on in Plaquemines Parish, is the attempts, that he made to re-enforce certain flood gates, and this was mostly due to the fact, that his home is affected by certain flood gates located in parts of Plaquemines Parish.  When Billy Nungessor's home, suffers water damage, he shifts his butt into action but the Plaquemines Parish Council Members, none of which are located in lower Plaquemines, will not even get on board with re-enforcing flood gates in lower Plaquemines Parish because they do not live in the area. In fact we have J. Friedman on the Plaquemines Parish Council, and he wasn't even voted in by a majority of people!  This is corruption.  At least a few of the people, who sit on the Plaquemines Parish council, simply got appointed by other good-ole-boy uneducated politicians.

Many of the prominent families, who owned businesses in lower Plaquemines Parish, for generations, are in the process of demanding investigations and pursuing civil actions, due to the fact, that F.E.M.A. (A Dept. of the U.S. Homeland Security)-was running clean up scams.  Under the Bush administration, F.E.M.A. was put under the Dept. of Homeland Sec and now under the Obama administration, F.E.M.A. is still apart of the Dept of Homeland Sec and Janet Napolitiano.  The only thing that Janet Napolitano appears competent in, is the negotiation of ways clearing paths for more illegal aliens to invade the U.S. job market.  (Democrat-Napolitano)

Napolitano, is SUPPOSED to be the second in command on FEMA, delegated to her by the Obama Administration but this woman lives in Arizona state and knows nothing about disaster preparedness.  So, already on a Federal level, lower Louisiana is having to depend on incompetence and people in Washington D.C. who have no comprehension of levee systems and rural America.

On a local level, we have a corrupt and silly Parish Council.  When it came to processing Road Home Applications, it took the Parish almost 3 years and we are still waiting for them to get it right!  This can only lead a logical person, to conclude that Plaquemines Parish council members are either that dumb or that corrupt.

When reporting a story, most media outlets check at least 2 sources (supposedly) before putting out the information.  Well, when your dealing with a cluster of small towns, which make up Plaquemines, it is possible to verify a story with 10 different sources and have them continually express and verify the same disturbing and troubling information.

So, this leads me to Billy Nungessor of Plaquemines Parish.  On one had, I understand that he is only the puppet for a larger corrupt business model and agenda in lower Louisiana but on the other hand, this man doesn't have clean hands, not even on a moral level.

Lets take DC's Lounge ( A strip Club) located in Terrytown,La.  DC's Lounge is known to every young guy from Plaquemines because going to DC's Lounge is a youthful right of passage along with getting drunk and puking your brains out, while your friends laugh at you.  Well, according to 4 credible sources, DC's lounge is also a favorite hang out of Plaquemines Parish President, Billy Nungessor!  In fact, Billy Nungessor carries about 2 American Express cards that he leaves on file at DC's Lounge and racks up enough charges to pay for a home in the Garden District of New Orleans!

Let's call her Kellie ( former stage name at DC Lounge & former native of Plaquemines Parish). Over a phone conversation Kellie not only is willing to come forward and go public with the deviant, same-sex and lavish escapades of Plaquemines Parish's President, Billy Nungessor, but she urged me to use her full legal name for this article but I felt that it wasn't in her best interest, at this point in time.  Kellie is only one person out of about six who will collaborate this story on Nungessors' deviant and wasteful lifestyle-with money that I am sure he is getting from shady and corrupt business dealings by selling out the business people and hard working families of lower Plaquemines Parish.

Another former dancer at DC's lounge and native of Plaquemines Parish, not only has evidence of Billy Nungessor flashing around his American Express card and going on spending sprees but can also verify that on more than a few occasions-he would allow his favorite "dancers" to keep possession of the credit card, even after he had left the establishment.  Since, there were no charges filed by Nungessor claiming his American Express card was stolen, one can make an educated guess that if these financial statements were subpoenaed in court-a judge could verify Nungessors' wild spending sprees and the fact that he covered all charges-made on his credit card!

Billy Nungessor is also known around some of the younger Plaquemines crowd, to also be a man who is...umm......not completely heterosexual.  There's evidence that Nungessor also enjoyed the services of male escorts.   So, what we have is a corrupt, idiotic and immoral politician wrecking lower Plaquemines Parish, who isn't exactly clean, sober or sane!  About four years ago, when Billy Nugessor was really on his drunken spending sprees, he developed a reputation of being a "sugar daddy" for younger woman AND men!

 (Republican Senator-David Vitter of La. state)
Louisiana state, now has the highest rate of Federal Food Stamp use, in the nation, but La. politicians like Senator David Vitter and Billy Nungessor, can go on wild sexual orgies with "side-money."  If David Vitter's wife, did not know that Vitter was missing $65,000 from their bank account, then that means Vitter had money sitting in a freezer some place like former New Orleans Congressman, William Jefferson!   How dumb does a man have to be in order to pay that much of money for a New Orleans escort? These people think that we are stupid!

The last thing Billy Nungessor wants to do, is have this information come out about him.  If he wants to consult with his attorneys and go to court, then our(families of lower Plaquemines) lawyers will request a change of venue (which will move Nungessor out of the Plaquemines Parish court system and into Orleans or St.Tammany Parish court system), that way there can be no cover-ups and suppression of information on this matter.  The cards are stacking up against Nungessor and the Plaquemines Parish council-and the table is showing 3 face cards, which means he's busted on the Boom-Town Black-jack table!

Where the corruption comes into play, is that Nungessor (and some also say S. Rousselle)-cut side deals with FEMA to tear up private property so that FEMA could then re-charge for clean-ups in lower Plaquemines Parish, after the citizens had already done the work. 

If Obama is being called a communist by the Glen Beck-Fox News crowd, then can someone explain why a Republican dominated state, like Louisiana, has some of the largest land seizures, eminent domain exploitation and illegal land grabs in the world?  The state Government of La., may as well be Zimbabwe, Africa!  Louisiana Republicans think that they are above the U.S. Constitution! 
 
(Louisiana Republicans may as well just raise the Zimbabwe, African flag because they're acting like dictators, who belong in a banana Republic)

 

One can observe where the Radio Shack used to be located(across from Citrus City) and see that there was no reason for FEMA and the Parish to re-tear up the land, without the family's permission, unless they wanted to discourage rebuilding and then milk tax payers for another round of clean ups in lower Plaquemines. After the land at the old Radio Shack was being used by non-profits, who aided early returners after Katrina, FEMA and the Parish decided to chase them off and tear up the pave foundation!  What was their agenda?  Their agenda was to claim this land, pay the family pennies on the dollars and then milk tax payer's for hundreds of thousands in tax dollars.

My mother in Buras,La. cleaned up her own land(for months, while living in a tent after Katrina struck) but FEMA came in and dumped debris on the land and then hosed tax payer's for the clean up bill!  Now, there is an oil rig being built and and the Parish has deliberately broken the sewage line!  This is corruption!

Lets take the old Buras Shoe Store, near the old BHS high school, the owners of that property did not give the Parish or FEMA permission to start tearing up the land, but they did it anyway, made the land unusable and slapped tax payers for yet another clean-up bill!  This is corruption and needs to be investigated.

So, maybe if Billy Nungessor can stay away from racking up thousands of dollars, in charges on his American Express card, and cool off on the hiring of female and male "dancers"-then something just might get done in lower Plaquemines Parish.

 

DO NOT MESS WITH LOWER PLAQUEMINES PARISH! WE WILL DESTROY YOU!

This article is still in progress, but I have been informed that a few of the more prominent families have retained attorneys and plan on litigating with the Parish of Plaquemines.

The Ghost of Plaquemines Parish and the Ties that Bind. FaceBook.Com Enters the Scene. By Nagara Duplessis

People ask how I still have the ability to write about Plaquemines Parish as if the levees never failed and Hurricane Katrina never happened.  The technique I use, is going to a few spots and then leaving without taking in the fact that it is basically a ghost town or a former shadow of its old self.  While the Nawlins lower ninth and Ground Zero in Manhattan stay in the news, thereby creating a rich documentation record; Plaquemines Parish is treated as if it was never really apart of the United States. There are major historic American landmarks that are just being ignored by the U.S. Government and state of La. 

One can not talk about the establishing of New Orleans, as a major center during colonial America, without speaking of Plaquemines Parish.  One can not talk about the La. seafood industry without having to admit that Plaquemines Parish started it all, in this state.  One can not talk about the American Revolution without talking about Plaquemines Parish but even with this rich history, one gets the impression, that the government believes this Parish was established in 2002!

In my mind, I can still picture the schools, and game night at Fort Jackson.  I still can see toilet paper on the cars at Buras High School, with Purple and Gold glitter, which meant that it was game time between Buras and Port Sulfur's football teams.  I can still see the restaurants and students cruising the highways.  There is still so little over-sight on the rebuilding of Plaquemines Parish and so little being documented, that I felt it was my duty to reject the reality of a culture that simply is no longer there.

There was a company, that started manufacturing plastic fishermen boots, a few years back, as a fashion accessory but the company found out that the boots had such a long life span that they weren't profitable to keep pushing on the market.  But for a minute, people were walking around with plastic oysterboots in Beverly Hills 90210!  What this company does not know, or maybe they do, is that rocking the plastic oyster boots, for fashion was started in the high schools of lower Plaquemines in the early 90's.  That's right.  Plaquemines Parish rocked the plastic oyster boots fashions before New York or Tyra Banks had a chance!

What brought the reality of life and the reality of my mind clashing together?  Facebook.com  After receiving an email, from a former native of Boothville, Jodi Johnson-Bowers, telling me to get my Facebook account in order, I realized that the physical aspects have little baring on the spirit and soul.  You see, even though major land marks are completely gone and citizens of Plaquemines Parish, can't really see the spot where they may have had their first kiss, first sexual encounter, first fight, first drunken Mad-Dog puke or any other first-the Gen X'ers and Gen Y'ers of Plaquemines Parish, have still managed to create an environment, on social networking sites, that makes one feel that your still living in the same closely knit community, which existed prior to the civil engineering disaster after Katrina.

While Facebook.com is popular in other areas, it doesn't take on a spiritual vibe like it does when your a displaced citizen, of a cluster of All American Towns, that have been restructured off the map.  Plaquemines Parish, being in rural Louisiana, means that most people attend one or two schools, growing up, therefore your with the same social group from 4 years of age into adult hood.  This fact of life, in rural America, creates bonds of steel.  Not only do you always have people, somewhere in the world, who know the most embarrassing and intimate details of your being but you have a feel of family.  This is something that a place like lower Manhattan or even areas of New Orleans will never, ever appreciate.

I can recall conversations with teenagers from Plaquemines Parish, who were debating on if the town was cursed because of all the traffic deaths, oil field freak accidents and just an usually high amount of freaky accidents, that seem strange. I have lost more friends, to freak accidents in Plaquemines Parish, than I care to elaborate on.  I am guilty of this curse conspiracy myself.  I used to be convinced that the "Curse of Plaquemines Parish" would find a way to kill me but now I recognize that it is typical adolescent rebellion. 

The feeling that a community owns someone, is the constant and all consuming complaint, that anyone from any rural or small town knows all to well.  The agenda of every High School kid in any small town-USA is to shake the town off, then something like Katrina happens, along with the failures of the U.S. Levee Systems, and that agenda quickly changes. All of a sudden, folks start remembering how simple life was, how communities protect their own and just how disassociated people are from each other, when they grow up in a big urban city.  Urban areas and generic suburban wastelands, just don't offer the same since of belonging to something set in stone....for the good or the bad.

 

It can be frustrating, trying to reminisce with my best friend about grueling workouts at dawn on Fort Jackson's race track, and realizing that half the spots that hold very special memories, are no longer there.  It is frustrating when your mind still remembers, homes and neighborhoods, the way they were prior to Aug of 2005 but you realize that the families have all been thrown to the wind, by the U.S. Government but this also shall pass and we will live on.

Anti-citizen policies, by La. Gov Piyush Jindal and Parish President, Billy Nungessor, have actually started driving successful and hardworking business people, native to Plaquemines Parish out of business.  We have Ann Pitre, who was running a boat rental business for decades in Plaquemines Parish, now closed down (as of last month in Black Bay) because Billy Nungessor, wants the businesses to be owned by non-natives, who appear to be charging and arm and a leg, for services, that used to be provided by natives, like Ann Pitre! 

It is this consistent under-belly of back room deals, that have created the most political corruption in Louisiana state.  While the local media, makes no effort at all, to expose the real life struggles of many native Plaquemines business people, places like Facebook.com (and phone calls from one's mother) also provide an invaluable journalism tool in La. state.  Ann Pitre, is a case and point, that Louisiana isn't suffering the legacy of Hurricane Katrina but instead suffering the network of corruption, which has used Katrina as an opportunity to create bad policy.

Ann Pitre, started out working as a cashier at the local Plaquemines Parish Fill-A-Sac store, just like my own mother.  She revamped herself into a business woman, catering to the local boating market and appeared to be the American Dream before back room deals, put into effect by the La. local government, turned her dream into a nightmare.  Ann Pitre, is now a Ghost of Plaquemines Parish, along with so many other people who have fallen victim to bad politics in this state.

What is hopeful, is knowing and experiencing the weakness of the physical world.  It is hopeful seeing the illusions of the mundane and calling the bluff.  While things on  the physical have drastically changed, likely for good, the people and relationships are still intact. Even though people are planted all over the place the same sense of community appears to be living on through high tech communications and social networking sites.

The power of collective community is so strong, that somewhere in the Universe, Plaquemines Parish is living on and ties grow tighter.

Calling for an investigation of Billy Nungessor & Plaquemines Parish. by Nagara Duplessis

 (one would think that this sweaty HOG is so dam fat, that he would have already had a heart attack! When he goes out into the sun, I bet he smells like bacon!)

For evey one community structure being green lighted by Billy Nungessor's office in Plaquemines Parish, there are 5 fishing camps also being green lighted-which are designed to bring in out-of-state recreational fishermen, to take dominance over Plaquemines Parish's native fishermen and citizens.  Nungessor is attempting to ban native Louisianians from their own waters, and stop them from making a living.

The Plaquemines Parish "Watchman" has been printing my editorials since I was a student at Buras, but these people do not have the skills or intelligence to properly articulate what is happening in Plaquemines Parish by Billy Nungessor.  There is NO ONE helping the citizens of Plaquemines Parish, make this case.  No one in Louisiana state has stepped up and forget about calling the Public Corruption Office, because they barely answer the phone.

Billy Nungessor, President of Plaquemines Parish, is out of hand.  The criminal acts, being committed by this man are simply egregious.  The Hitler of Plaquemines Parish, is executing a plan of displacing citizens, actioning off land and water-ways to the highest out-of-state bidder.

The Watchmen has been covering the narrative of Billy Nungessor, with holding Federal FEMA funds, which should be going to citizens wishing to return to Plaquemines Parish.  Billy Nungessor, is jeopardizing future funding by FEMA to folks in Plaquemines Parish, by being out of compliance with Federal regulations.  In other words,Billy Nungessor is deliberately sitting on FEMA funds, in order to have Plaquemines Parish sanctioned(punished)by FEMA.  These sanctions include, FEMA eliminating the emergency Federal Assistance fund program, to citizens of Plauqemines after a disaster strikes.  This is very strange.  No where else, in the United States of America, has FEMA had to threaten a County/Parish official by eliminating Federal funds to the Parish's citizens due to mishandling of Federal Funds by a county/Parish official.  This man is highly incompetent and negligent.

Why should innocent, hard working people of Plaquemines Parish suffer for the criminal acts being committed by Billy Nungessor?  It makes no sense but unfortunately it is how the U.S. Government enforces its law, on this matter.

(La. Gov Piyush Jindal, was propped up by state Republicans, as a continuation of former Gov. Foster-who was clearly anti-Plaquemines. Yet, Jindal and Nungessor got votes from Plaquemines Parish? Laughable!)

Secondly, Nungessor and Piyush Jindal have been putting out the word, that Plaquemines Parish is for sale and recreational fishermen, should harass citizens, to sell their property.

J. Armstrong "I sold my property because, I was offered double the amount by a recreational fisherman who wanted to use my home as a camp site, while on vacation."

V. Petrovich"You can see that they do not want people living in Plaquemines because the levees are unsafe and every other few miles of highway, is being set aside for outsiders by the local government."

Billy Nungessor, is spending money to build an intricate YMCA and Civic Center but this is only a front, to hide his agenda.  This makes no real sense. Why build a YMCA or Civic Center, when his agenda is to displace natives and set up housing camps for out-of-state recreation fishermen?  He really thinks that people are that dam dumb!  The housing that Bill Nungessor is setting up, is temporary homes from transients.  This looks good on Billy Nungessor's paper work but the homes aren't meant to be lived in by natives.  Billy Nungessor and Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, are making it seem that they are using tax payer's money to rebuild Plaquemines Parish, but all they are building is temporary housing for illegal aliens and Texas recreational fishermen!  Simply sad.

Oh yeah, the "recreational fishing camps" all appear to look like Single & Multi Family Homes!  I guess DUMB-gessor, thinks that people in Louisiana do not know a fishing camp, when they see one.

 (Former Gov. Foster's very first agenda, was to severely limit Plaquemine Parish fishermen, increase oil company ownership of private property and seal off fishing bays.)

This anti-Plaquemines agenda is being carried out by Billy Nungessor and La. Gov. Piyush Jindal.  People of Plaquemines have seriously screwed themselves by voting in Nungessor, a native of Texas instead of Port Sulphur native, Amos Cormier.   The anti-Plaquemines agenda, has been ongoing since former Gov. Foster was in office.  Nungessor's family, came into Plaquemines to assist oil companies in obtaining land.

Before the Plaquemines Parish elections, Nungessor was paid out of a Republican-Oil fund, that was used to buy a few washers & dryers, which he happily took credit for, by saying he was paying for this out-of-pocket.  Even with this silly act, one would assume that folks were smart enough to not allow Billy Nungessor anywhere near a Plaquemines Parish Government office but as usual, the folks fell short on I.Q. points.  Just because someone throws a nice "rally" in Plaquemines, doesn't mean that you should vote for them without knowing anything about their agenda!

The appointment of an idiot like Billy Nungessor, to represent Plaquemines Parish on a La. wetland committee, by La. Gov Jindal, allows Jindal and Nungessor to slant the need for protecting Parish wetlands and opens the door for more oil and Texas recreational development in lower Plaquemines.  The decision by Gov. Piyush Jindal, to seat Billy Nungessor onto a wetland committee was purely political. The corrupt Army Corp of Engineers, has gotten so much of bad press regarding their ties to Big Oil and land theft, they are set to spend 1 million to repair Louisiana wetlands, EXCEPT they will determine where to restore wetlands by consulting the wetland's committee, which Jindal threw Nungessor on about six months ago!  Nungessor isn't qualified to even be on a Mardi Gras planning committee, let alone a wetland committee.

Plaquemines Parish, looks more and more like a dump in Texas than a Louisiana Parish.  The shipping in of illegal aliens, to work as far down as Venice, is an orchestrated agenda by Nungessor.There is also another policy, being floated by Jindal and Nungessor regarding the closing of businesses that employ natives of Plaquemines.  Billy Nungessor, feels that Plaquemines should have an entire industry built around out-of-town commercial fishermen.  This not only would retard the tax revenue from Plaquemines but force natives out of the Parish.  When natives are no longer in Plaquemines, he has this pre-worked out supply of illegal immigrants coming in from Jefferson Parish, La.  Illegal Aliens are already being used by the Becnel's in Belle Chase and places like Buzz boat rentals in Venice, where there are 8 illegal aliens to every one American worker.  These Plaquemines Parish businesses are getting out of paying taxes and so do their illegal immigrant workers.  This is straight-up illegal.

Keep in mind, that Plaquemines Parish, is supposed to be a Republican and Patriotic Parish, where the officials look out for the American worker and American household.  Well, that has pretty much proved to be a bunch of bullshit, now hasn't it?

This entire topic, has reached such an absurd and criminal point, that I am calling the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, to investigate Plaquemines Parish President, Billy Nungessor.  This man needs to be behind bars!  Nungessor's policies will officially destroy the livelihoods of every single native of Plaquemines Parish.

This entire agenda, is painfully obvious to anyone with any sense.  Evidently, the idiots who voted for this man in Plaquemines, now need someone to come in and clean up the mess, which they created!

I will also, pressure U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu and David Vitter, to investigate Billy Nungessor.  If this isn't done in the next 60 days, there will be a Hollywood boycott on the state of Louisiana, which will knock out jobs and tax revenue to cities, which cater to and benefit from productions.

Please call or email- Senator Landrieu at 202-224-5824  http://landrieu.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm   When the aide answers(if you call), say: " I am a Louisiana resident.  I demand that Senator Landrieu call on the Justice Department,to investigate corruption and misuse of Federal Disaster funds by the office of Plauqemines Parish's President, Billy Nungessor.  I also ask that Senator Landrieu remove Billy Nungessor from the wetland committee on the grounds of him having a self-serving interest which conflicts with the objectives of the wetland committee, issue a cease and desist order on any new building of "fishing camps" and demand that Billy Nungessor resign from office; due to fraud and betraying the trust of the Plaquemines Parish community."

Who controls Elections in Louisiana State? Mis-managed Swing Power -South of Baton Rouge. By Nagara Duplessis

The Atomic Rural Political Wild Card of lower Louisiana?

 (Amos, of the NOLA Time Picayunes, stated in a pro-Jindal national interview, that Piyush managed to rig himself into office because he got the Cajuns to vote with N. Louisiana.)

The large body of Republican and Democrat politicians, who constantly have to raise money and compete for their political futures are well aware that Independents are the folks that swing elections.  In Louisiana, this awesome power falls on the folks, in the lower lying Parish areas of this state(the strip from Lake Charles-all the way across-to St.Bernard/Plaquemines Parish).  Lower Louisiana, decides on what years Louisiana will be Democrat and what years, the state will be Republican but most people in lower La., aren't even aware that we swing elections.

North Louisiana, is not really Louisiana at all.  North Louisiana is an area of migrated hillbillies but Louisiana has no hills!  Alabama has hills, Arkansas has hills and Georgia has hills but yet we have HILL-billies in that region.  These people aren't really affected by the dynamics of Louisiana Big Oil and wetland systems, so they vote on emotions and prejudices.  North La. is stuck in 1910, and this results in cases like Jena 6.  North La. is an embarrassment and a settlement of rejected people from Alabama and Arkansas.

The problem with having power in Lower Louisiana is that it is unrealized and unfulfilled.  The people of lower Louisiana, suffer more than any other people in the U.S., due to policies out of Baton Rouge and Washington D.C.  The fact that Rush Limbaugh, the drug addict Republican radio spokesperson, is spending huge amounts of money to promote his right-wing propaganda show, only proves that lower Louisiana is an area, that has taken many powerful, corrupt Republicans out of power and has also elevated the wrong people into office.  Rush Limbaugh, is running ads in Plaquemines and St. Bernard Parish, because people are waking up from this propaganda daze and La. political/Big Oil Matrix of lies.  State Republicans, can't have that happen, so they called in Rush.

Lower rural Louisiana, is home to the powerful, silent Majority.  The folks in lower La. do not stand up and shout but have instead upset many well funded and local media backed politicians over the years.  When former, Ku Klux Klan member David Duke, ran for high office, the silent majority in Plaquemines Parish, stopped him dead in his tracks, even though N. La, St. Tammany Parish and parts of Jefferson Parish thought they had that election in the bag. Mr. Duke thought that by holding meetings in West Plaquemines, that he had accomplished something but when election day came, it was the silent majority in East Plaquemines that left him broke and handing out KKK fliers on Canal street in New Orleans.  Then he went on to become a jew-hater, cocaine addict, convict and fantasizing about being lord over Russia.

Then Congressman, Piyush Jindal, set out the first time around, on becoming La.'s Governor-but he was shut down by the HUGE silent Cajun majority in the Lafayette area!  So, where is the real center of power in Louisiana state?  Evidently, the silent majority has a history of being very quiet, while destroying the status quo, on ballot day.  Never underestimate the silent, quiet majority along the lower La. Gulf and Bayou coast.  These are not people, that Baton Rouge should be pissing off because history shows, that lower Louisiana can make or break political dreams and agendas. Many politicians have gone down in flames, by pissing off lower, rural Louisiana areas.

Gov. of Louisiana state, Piyush Jindal, somehow convinced Cajuns in lower-West Louisiana to vote for him, even though Jindal was clearly marketed by former Gov. Foster and Foster was a  Gov. that spelled bad news for fishermen in lower La.  The fact that lower Louisiana consistently swings elections, for politicians, who are clearly hostile to the well being and economic development of low-laying Parish areas, is simply astonishing and an unnerving ignorance from the people of these areas.

A perfect example of swing voting power can be seen in New Orleans.  Whites in that area, tend to back any Republican, no matter what the politician is saying.  Blacks tend to mindlessly back Democrats and Vietnamese do not vote.  In fact, Vietnamese are considered the bottom rung of the totem pole, when it comes to Asian beliefs.  Koreans, Japanese and Chinese frown on Vietnamese and Filipinos, as being the "Nig*ers" of the Asian race.  NOLA Creoles and middle class blacks, swing elections in NOLA, by a perfect 10%.  The District Attorney is in office due to this swing vote. A Vietnamese "no-nothing" Congressman is also in office, due to getting 10% of this swing vote. 

 The African American female,from Tulane, who was a shoe-in for the D.A. position, irked Creoles when she aligned herself with CNN/ Time Picayunes and took part in a redundant "New Orleans Crime" propaganda project, hosted by Soledad O'Brian of CNN.  Creoles have gotten so sick, of these deflection patterns, when there are other issues to be discussed by New Orleans officials, that this black D.A. lost out on a job of a lifetime, simply because she failed to understand the swing vote in New Orleans.  Maybe if Keva Landum-Johnson, would have put down the fried chicken, being that she weighs about 400lbs., she could have researched to see that NOLA people are sick and tired of the media and even more tired of city officials, that go on the media shows, to settle personal gripes with other city officials.  It may be soothing for their own egos but it embarrasses the citizens of New Orleans and they appear to seek revenge on voting day. The 10% Creole & Middle Class black swing vote-is now a fact of life in New Orleans.

Disgraced Congressman, William Jefferson of NOLA, was sitting back, on a bunch of fraud money and figured that because he was black, he was promised a re-election to the NOLA Congress. Well, simply talking to blacks in Mid-City and Lower Ninth Ward areas of New Orleans just don't cut it anymore. Simply talking to black Protestant churches isn't enough because the Creole Catholics in Gentilly, uptown area and Algiers-simply played their "10% swing vote" card and shocked his ass out of office.  I mean, Jefferson had the audacity to be shocked, that he did not win his Congressional seat! I was amazed that this crook, who has given the national media more ammunition to slam Louisiana, was now acting "vexed" and pissed!  Now he has been convicted of corruption and awaiting sentencing.  If he would have gotten re-elected, he would have to be replaced anyway-so it was smart to just get him out of the way and deal with Congressman Cao.

Former Cajun-female Gov. Blanco, was supposed to loose to Jindal(by large numbers), but the La. media and politicians still fail to realize that lower rural La. swings each and every state-wide election.   The fact that Louisiana has never been a solid Republican, Southern state-and Republicans sweat elections- causes great stress to Republicans.  Republicans slam La. every chance that they get, because Louisianians can be very independent in their thinking and the key word is "thinking"-which appears to piss off stupid Republicans, who just want followers.

Current Lt.Gov Mitch Landrieu, lost his bid for New Orleans Mayor, to Mayor Ray Nagin-due to ONE single statement. "I feel that we need the illegal immigrants to rebuild New Orleans."  This did not sit well, with progressive and politically aware Creoles in NOLA, who had a shit load of phone calls from other states, regarding the shipping out of blacks and the busing in of illegal aliens on a Halliburton contract-which turned out to be a huge parasite on tax payers.  Whenever I get Creoles, in Uptown New Orleans, upset and pissed over something done or said by a NOLA political hopeful, that hopeful ALWAYS ends up loosing the election.  I can bank money on this, every single time.  It NEVER fails.   Bottom line, don't piss off people in Uptown New Orleans, if you want to win a place in Nawlins' political office.

Lafayette, Bossier City, Lake Charles, Plaquemines and St.Bernard, swinging an election to Piyush Jindal, was a brain fart.  Baton Rouge has no use for lower Louisiana, except for tax revenues and winning elections.  After we put in place, Republican Governors, the first round of policies always spells disaster for folks in lower La.  It is this failed awareness of political clout that has placed lower Louisiana in such a dysfunctional and mind boggling position.

Senator Mary Landrieu, has been very successful, even though the larger Democratic party has not lifted one finger to help Louisiana state, even when lower Louisiana gave them a Democratic-Blue State in the middle of the Deep South!  This lack of respect and ignorance by national Democrats, towards Louisiana state, is the main reason that La. has gotten more Republican in recent years. Even rural and suburban blacks, are starting to ask the question, "What in the hell have Democrats EVER done for Louisiana?" 

The irony, is that Mary Landrieu is now one of the most powerful Democrats in the Senate (Blue Dog Democrat) and she can destroy policies from Obama or severely cripple policies of kooky Ca. and NY Democrats, plus she can destroy Republicans.  Mary Landrieu, is "Queen of the Damned" from the Anne Rice novels, because Landrieu can just destroy policies and make it burst into flames, while Senate Democrats stand there in shock and awe.

Swing voters have all of the power in Louisiana politics, and lower Louisiana is the swing vote region.  New Orleans is the heart and pulse of Louisiana not Baton Rouge, even though B.R. is the state's capital.  Los Angeles is the heart of California and not Sacramento.  Manhattan is the heart of New York and not Albany, even though that is N.Y. state's capital.

Having so much of misused power, means that folks in lower Louisiana have to be extra vigilant in researching political hopefuls and cautious of well marketed Republicans, like Piyush Jindal, who was clearly tied into this theology of being anti-Plaquemines, anti-Cajun, anti-land protection, anti-seafood industry and pro-Texas Oil.

Currently, in Plaquemines Parish, Jindal is trying to implement a policy that would effectively turn Plaquemines Parish into a boat parking areas for Texans and a waste ground for oil companies.  This is the continuation of former Gov. Foster's policies and a further, radical insult on working class fishermen of lower Louisiana state.  What did people expect, when they swung him into office?  The information, regarding Jindal-Foster's policies, were plain as day!  If Foster was bad for fishermen, why in the world did these people think that voting for Jindal was in their best interest?  Now, fishermen in Plaquemines Parish are threatening civil disobedience and an uprising, over Baton Rogue's continued hostilities against lower rural La. seafood workers and I think it is high-time that the Good Ole Boys start getting a little scared in that area.

The men and women of lower Louisiana, have been fishing in Louisiana waters, for over 100 years, as a way to put food on the table to feed their families.  In a disconnected swipe of a pen, some East Indian, Republican & oil company funded idiot, named Piyush Jindal, is trying to destroy an entire Louisianian heritage and way of life!

Due to Piyush Jindal, the Cajuns in Lafayette and Houma are feeling the effects of Jindal's policies. Will they remember this come election season, when these well oiled Republicans come over to "woo" them, and then disappear into Baton Rouge, to un-lease policies that destroy historic industries in lower La., that used to allow lower Louisiana to be very self contained and self reliant? Only time will tell.

What Happened to Creole/Cajun Oysters & Oystermen in Plaquemines Parish? by Nagara Duplessis

Lets look at the history of Oyster harvesting in France and colonial Louisiana-this isn't a thesis but just plain and simple blunt facts-written in a language that every day people can understand. Basically, I am writing in Louisianian. Bon!So, lets keep it really REAL on what happened to oysters in Plaquemines Parish and throw this politically correct mess out of the window! It aint happening in this article and it aint happening today!   Save the politically correct mess & lies, for Baton Rouge and East Indian Gov. Piyush Jindal!

France could produce over 3 billion oysters a year. France had establish a strict conservation effort; which also were retained to Creole and Cajun oyster-men in lower Louisiana during the 1700's. There is a big difference from how my great grandfather & grand father harvested oysters, on our now, polluted and dead oyster beds in lower La, then how they are being harvested by Vietnamese and poor white migrants from Alabama.

The British destroyed oyster bedding grounds wherever they went-until the oyster went almost extinct in Great Britain.  This habit of pollution and excess was carried with English migrants into the South and modern day Southern non-Cajun Whites-which poured into Louisiana over the last few decades.

In the mid-nineteenth century oysters were plentiful in England but through a lack of respect for the water-ways and over harvesting-England could barely manage 10 million oysters in comparison to France's 3 billion-per year! England ran out of oysters because they didn't care about their environment and bedding grounds.  We are starting to see this same cycle in lower La.  The days of our grandfathers saying, "there will ALWAYS be oysters" is long gone in Plaquemines Parish!

The Choctaw Native Americans, had a mild fisherman culture in Plaquemines Parish but the Creole and Cajun settlers were oystermen.  The Choctaws were not displaced, being that they had a Gypsy-like tribe and never settled any land-they simply mixed with the French and started the Plaquemines Parish population of French-Indian Creoles or Mulatto fisherman. These people have been there, working the bayous of Plaquemines Parish, for hundreds of years!

Cajuns arrived on the shores of Plaquemines and St.Bernard Parish(most went to Lower West La.) after the British became upset that France help fund and provided invaluable military support to the American colonies during the American Revolution(which is the ONLY reason that we have the United States of America. The colonies could have NEVER beat the British without France leading and funding the fight.), so they exiled the Cajuns from French Canada in the 1700's. These Cajuns-were off spring of French-Fishermen and Oystermen and many in lower La. are about 15th generation French-like oystermen!

Oysters are not only healthy, but they filter pollution from water and their bedding grounds are a natural buffer zone during Hurricanes.  God had lower Louisiana set up perfectly with the perfect mix of people-to retain the culture.  Of course having a good, profitable marine environment in Plaquemines is considered a conflict of interest to Big Oil Drilling.

687 million has just been handed out to farmers in the tiny California city of Fresno by the Federal Gov. to play around with sand! But nothing has gone to compensate displaced oystermen or their destroyed oyster leases due to pollution and oil drilling?  Why has no Louisiana politicians looked out for the "oysterman" in "Luzianne"? Why aren't Louisiana oystermen being awarded 687 million in exchange for helping to restore a once thriving marine life and environment in lower La.?

Former Gov. Kathleen Babineaux-Blanco , of Louisiana, tried to settle this but that was shot down by Texas, oil companies, state Republicans, good ole boys and the Times Picayune of New Orleans.

If I look at what has killed the Louisiana Creole and Cajun oystermen-it is a number of different factors. Migration of whites (mostly from Alabama)that work on Oyster bedding grounds in Plaquemines starting in the 1970's, that they do not own and therefore they used and continue to use, boats that aren't properly maintain and leak oil, gasoline and toxins directly into the Oyster nest-which is why people were dying from eating Seafood shipped from the Bayous of Louisiana back in 1994.

Cajun, Creoles, Italians, Yugoslavians and other lower Louisiana natives had homes, these white-migrants popped on the bad part of towns in trailers.  That's how you identified them-and they had no respect for the marine environment of lower Louisiana. They were not Catholics and many had no religion or were some type of non-practicing Protestant faith.

Secondly, the importing of Vietnamese fishermen -who over-harvest oysters at a frantic and unhealthy pace. When some special interest groups brought them in, not only were they subsidized by the government with housing and food stamp but Louisiana banks gave the Vietnamese fishermen priority loans for huge boats that many Cajuns were unable to obtain. These people also, had no religion and were being spoiled with a combination of American welfare and the opportunity granted to them, as immigrants, that natives didn't have a chance to take advantage of in this state.

If your a 35 year old adult and went to school in lower Plauquemines Parish, in about the 4th or 5th grades-the Vietnamese kids poured into the class rooms and all the dumb teachers said "oh their parents work so hard and they get alot of oysters to sell at the docks"but no one said that they were on food stamps, subsidized housing, welfare and getting low interest bank loans to buy huge boats, that weren't compatible with the seafood "hunting and gathering" culture in lower Plaquemines! They were trying to send the messages that our families didn't work hard; when folks in Plaquemines have been working hard, in these waters, for 300 years WITHOUT welfare from the government.

The immigrants just took a harsh toll on the area, they threw off the entire eco-system of the Bayous and Bays, by over-working the bayou without giving it any time to recover.  They even oyster and shrimp off-season!  Then former (R) Louisiana Gov. Mike Foster, who help fund, Gov Piyush Jindal, wanted to further stop natives from working and earning a living in the bayous, so that Texans could come down and commercial fish year round and park their boats because lower Louisiana is a "Sportsman Paradise".............for Texas!

 

Thirdly, the toxic run off from the Agricultural Mid-west farm lands, has left entire dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico. A Louisiana native fishermen may as well, move to Cuba or Haiti being that is the islands you will run into trying to find healthy marine life in the Gulf.

Keep in mind, that Mid-Western farmers often only employ illegal immigrants but are the biggest recipients of Federal welfare in the nation, when their crops fail but no Oysterman in lower Louisiana gets paid one cent, in Federal welfare, when the toxic pesticide run-off, flows down the Mississippi river and damages our oysters and bedding grounds.   It is strange and suspicious, that the United States Army Corp of Supposedly Engineers, can make man-made canals to flood out certain areas in lower Louisiana, but no canals in the Mid-West to re-route toxic waste to another source, other than Plaquemines Parish.

But the most toxic and damaging force in lower Louisiana, is the oil companies.  They displaced people off of land and continue to do so as recent as 2003, didn't compensate people after destroying thousands of acres of Bayous and Bays in lower Louisiana and bribed the La. Gov and Wildlife of Fisheries to ban oyster-men from their own oyster leases and bedding grounds! 

 The Army Corp of Engineers, are great for OTHER states but in lower La. they were set up as land surveyors, for oil drilling.  The Army Corp's main function, in Plaquemines Parish, is to survey land and claim it for public domain use and then get corrupt politicians and judges to pass Eminent Domain land claims for drilling!

This perfect storm of corruption, over indulgence and migration of immigrants (both domestically and internationally) has and is killing the historic Louisiana-Creole and Louisiana-Cajun oysterman in Plaquemines Parish.

Plaquemines Parish is so corrupt that the voting booths are rarely observed, the politicians work off of set aside funds from oil companies to place "like minded" people into offices and even Gov. Jindal has appointed (R) Nungessor onto boards dealing with wetlands conservation, which Jindal and Nungessor are clearly unqualified to deal with but they are working an agenda of corruption. (Yeah. He wishes his real name was "Bobby" - He is good for India or traveling 10 months out of the year to fund-raise and then slap us with his travel bills! Don't be idiotic by thinking Piyush Jindal is anything other than the same foreign corruption working an agenda in Louisiana office.)

With many great Marine Biologist being trained in Thibodaux,La in the Marine Bayou Biology program at the local University-there is no reason that Nungessor should be sitting on a board dealing with marine life and wetlands in Plaquemiens Parish!  Plaquemines can not keep electing idiots into their local government. The entire population is almost extinct in that parish-and they still haven't learned their rights or organized in any great numbers!  It has to be ignorance and a lack of education among, the over 45 crowd. Everyone younger appears to know exactly what is happening in that Parish.

There is no excuse for Louisiana to not be supporting teams of conservationist and Marine Biologist, like ones sees happening in Maryland, Florida, California, New York, Delaware, Cuba, Brazil, Dominican Republic and other areas of the world. Lower Plaquemines is made up of sleepy oyster-men villages with no more native oyster-men!

Start of Hurricane Season'09 no updated levees in place! Still Private Levee systems in Plaquemines Parish! By Nagara Duplessis

JUNE 1. So it Begins!!! Hurricane Season Again!!  There is no real journalism in lower Louisiana state.

 

 

First, let me just say that Sandy Rosenthal Founder of Levees.org-Nawlins. Rocks!! and Kicks Ass! We love her!!!  Keep up the good work Sandy!!!!!  Lower Louisiana Loves You!!!! It does not matter what the media thinks-the only thing that will ever matter in Louisiana is what the Natives think!!

 

I find it hilarious that the local New Orleans media throws these soft ball prepared questions at Billy Nungessor of Plaquemines Parish and does talking points for the Army Corp of Engineers.  The U.S. gov is funding Mexican drug cartels via these grants in the millions and funding the Taliban by giving billions, to train law enforcement in Iraq and Afghanistan, which always ends up bad for our troops, because they simply start using our training and weapons on us,  but the US Government, has no interest in protecting Louisiana.  They want our tax money, and say it is for levee systems but-we still have oil companies, owning levees in this state.

(People in NYC and Los Angeles, want SUV's but they do not want oil drilling.........in their states! But, it's o.k. if Louisiana gets polluted, so they can have their luxuries.  That's the mentality that drives American policy, on just about everything to do with oil, natural disasters, prison abuse(domestic prisons) and foreign policy.  "As long as it doesn't affect me and I don't have my home and land taken by a corrupt court system or government, then I do not really care about what happens to my neighbors."  This has become American logic and it's pathetic!)

The fact that in La. we have some dizzy blond woman named Susan, ( a  non-descript, unappealing dummy with some generic Irish last name of Mc...something or another)-doing an interview, on Hurricane and disaster preparedness, but couldn't even distinguish between Westwego and Algiers! Yet, she is in charge of what happens to the Harvey canal!  Typical, GED Louisiana corruption.  This woman was a joke! She really got on t.v. and didn't know the geographical difference between Algiers and Westwego! Oh My Gawd!

According to Susan, the non-descript dizzy blond, in charge of the Harvey canal, the Army Corp of Engineers's Deadline has been pushed back a few more years! Well, they pushed it back a few more years last year! We are coming up on a decade! But, yet the "STATES" government are superior over the "Federal" government?  Maybe. But most states don't have "Non-Descript Susan" running a Harvey Flood canal & in charge of public safety.

Susan Mc.."this or that" is gender Affirmative Action-gone waaaayyyy wrong! Just another person, with a job, that they aren't qualified to hold.

Billy Nungessor(President of Plaquemines Parish), the sweaty hog from Plaquemines, was sitting on t.v. reading a script, that he held on his lap-written for him by the Army corp and Big Oil- and it was just hilarious at how dumb this man really is!  I have never in my life, seen a person being interviewed by "the news" with a script in his lap!

What Plaquemines Parish needs to do is get Boss Hog out of office-put in 1)Mr.Longleyfrom Port Sulphur or 2) Mr.Cormier from Port Sulphurand let them incorporate Plaquemines Parish as "The Bank of Plauquemines FDIC" and get a Bush-Obama bail out, to build some decent levees, funded by the Federal Government.  I don't even know what else to think of, when it comes to Plaquemines Parish because, it so dam messed up and people are so dam complacent!

I have never seen a people so in "shock & awe" of stupid people, like the ones that lived in lower Plaquemines. I mean, voting in council people, who have a 7th grade education, is a little absurd.

Janice Buras, the Plaquemines Parish book author, who used to live in Boothville could run Plaquemines Parish better than Billy Nungessor. Stanley Thornton, Harrry Potter, Brad Pitt, Ice-T, Snoop Dog, Dolly Parton-anyone can do better than this sad bunch of council people and Nungessor!

The only coverage, by a national media outlet, that does investigations after Nugessor makes everyone leaves the Parish, so he and the Army Corp can walk through private property is Keith Oberman of MSNBC.   In fact, if MSNBC didn't post up on the East side of Plaquemines Parish, last Hurricanes season-they would have blown up those levees, that was "breached" in that subdivison. I promise you that much.

It is the start of Hurricane season and the Army Corp has not met ONE dead-line! The U.S. Government has ceded lower La. and "low lining areas" to Big Oil by charging tax payers in Plaquemines for levee developments, for years, but the US Gov. has ceded to big oil and allowed these mysterious, low and shabby "private levee" systems to thrive!

Plaquemines Parish still has no Federal levees.  America is supposed to be the greatest country in the world but our economy is looking more like Latin America and our levees look like they were built by beavers from Zimbabwe, Africa!

Once again, America's propaganda doesn't live up to its hype and isn't grounded in reality.

If the oil companies and Army Corp can land grab, make Americans homeless and steal land for these "private levees" -all in the name of "Drill Baby Drill" then what the hell do Americans think is happening to Iraqis?  Why do American act perplexed when Arabs fly planes into the our buildings because they are pissed due to oil drug deals-gone bad, between Bush and Bin Ladden?  Why are Americans perplexed that Iraq now has suicide bombings, behind a Euro oil pipeline or when Nigerians are burning oil fields?  Honestly, if we were a bunch of Arabs in this state-we would be more protected by the Government.

 

Then, to add insult to injury, the fact that Billy Nungessor got on t.v. and bragged about picking the contractors, to build the levees in Plaquemines but only chose contractors that used illegal alien labor-shows that he pocketed money and is trying to do the job on the cheap!

 

I would have been trying to hide the fact, that I am entrusting American lives to untrained, cheap, Mexican labor.  All the money that we pay for gas and oil in this state!  Being that we make all the sacrifices, so that people in Ca. can drive SUV's-our gas should be free!  We should have the cheapest gas and oil in the nation!  But we don't. Because we have corrupt and silly people in every walk of our government!

This is the exact same thing that was done for New Orleans clean up-by Bush, Cheney and Piyush Jindal, Lt Gov Mitch Landrieu and Blanco.  They hired Halliburton (former V.P. Dick Cheney's old company) to charge tax payers $80.00 an hour, for clean up but paid illegal aliens $7.00 and hour and pocketed the huge remaining balance(in their pockets)-and as we can see-New Orleans STILL isn't cleaned up and homes STILL aren't built because cheap labor does cheap work!(Lt. Gov Mitch Landrieu, popped up with about 100 million dollars to get into the New Orleans Mayor's office! Where did he get that money?)

New Orleans Mayor-Ray Nagin. A man of conflicts, guilt, privilege and self-interest.

In fact, if one studies this Halliburton scam-after Hurricane Katrina, the Mayor of New Orleans,Ray Nagin, was the only voice that tried to stop it and was willing to speak out on it.  People appear to forget that Mayor Ray Nagin, is a hand picked Bush flavored Republican, like Gov. Piyush Jindal, and only became a Democrat to run for Mayor of New Orleans.  His policies are clearly, mixed-up Southern Republican.  So, for Ray Nagin to speak out against his American Idol, took some guts.

Like many middle class, people of color in New Orleans, you grow up very sheltered.  You only hear stories about the "Projects"-even if your Middle Class black or rural African American-BUT you never go there or get to know anyone from the "projects."  You live in gated communities, attend these Catholic schools and live in very mixed-racial areas-so I think that Mayor Ray Nagin just didn't get the racism aspect, of Southern Republicans and Bush, until after Katrina hit and then reality sunk in about how government operates in America, when he watched the news coverage and the "Lock & Load" order that went out to shoot black people by the U.S. government, law enforcement and military.  When he did catch up to the learning curve, he had to weigh his private cable business relationships with being Mayor of a historic, French Creole & African-American city, that was and is, being torn apart by racist policies, from his handlers. 

The racist media was saying that "Mayor Ray Nagin was scared of his own people, after the levees got blown" Well, that was just media ignorance.  Ray Nagin didn't know the people, in the same way that a white person from Metarie, La never saw the inside of a poor white person's trailer.  I can recall me having to explain, to a white Creole from the French Quarter and a white U.N.O. professor, from Metarie, what a trailer looked liked, back in 1996, over lunch at Canal Place.  The white guy from the French Quarter drove to some rural Louisiana trailer park, saw a trailer and came back to me, all excited saying "OMG! It had wheels on it!"

The main reason that Mayor Ray Nagin and Al Sharpton, just couldn't bridge the class gap and get along after Katrina, was the fact that Rev. Al Shaprton resented Mayor Ray Nagin's Louisiana Creole privilege.  Just because a black-American, has encountered a successful black person(new money people ie:entertainers, athletes, technology CEO's, pimp-daddy Mega Protestant preachers, high powered Attorneys) doesn't mean that they know a person of color, who comes from OLD Southern money, property and privilege.  That throws many black people off because they don't know the entire spectrum of black history in the U.S. and they feel "dissed" if your not giving up 10% of your income to their non-profits or Protestant churches.   The fact that when America gets too rough for urban "big city" blacks, the first place they run back to, is the Southern U.S., appears to  slip many black people's mind.   The South is where most blacks had grand-parents and great grand parents that own property and land.  This single reason, should have already brought every black lawyer out of the woods, to bankrupt developers, contractors and expose Eminent Domain scams.

 

 

It was the Louisiana Creole General, Russel L. Honor`e, that stopped a full out holocaust of under-privileged blacks in New Orleans, and he hasn't even been granted an ambassador-ship.  Obama gave that job to Bill Clinton.

The reasons that people are still in FEMA trailers(with unfinished homes) and levees aren't getting built properly is 1)corruption 2)Oil companies 3) the use of illegal aliens 4) Eminent Domain scams by judges.

The only way that folks, even knew about this scam was simply because Ray Nagin talked with ABC news, following Katrina, and it was to the detriment of his own political career but none-the-less it appears that he was telling the truth.  I do not know what game Ray Nagin is playing now-a-days but at one time he was being very frank, blunt and honest.  So, I don't know what kind of pay off they gave him & Blanco, to shut up but he has been shutting up about corruption and I assume he is going to Dallas after he is out of office.

I do not know what New Orleans Mayor, Ray Nagin, has planned. Maybe be a Louisiana Creole Chauffeur for Madame Laura Bush and drive her around Dallas, Tx. to her botox appointments but you can't pretend to be for the people of your city and then with-hold housing funds because your corporate handlers made a request.

Evidently, Mayor Ray Nagin did not get the pay off that he thought he was going to get from corrupt developers, if he can't afford the taxes on his Dallas, Tx mansion. Maybe he can rent a garage in Marrero,La.  Maybe set up a FEMA trailer in the 7th Ward and recolonize the area for Creoles. Move to Belle Chase and pick oranges for the Becnel family or go stand on the corner with the Salvadoreans and eat roach tacos from the back of a truck with Idiotic New Orleans Council-woman, Stacy Head and Vietnamese Congressman Anh Cao.

But, I think the Chauffeur job would work out best for Ray Nagin.

Mayor Ray Nagin-"Oui! Madame Laura Bush. I'sa gettin to cleaning your fine automobile. Merci!" "Comment Sa Va Madame Bush?" "Votra botox a tres beau-Madame Laura!"

Now, there is a certain % of people, who appear to think that they can live in a FEMA trailer park forever but there is also a higher % of people in hotels and in FEMA trailers based on the fact, that certain scam developers and contractors have been given a monopoly in this area. 

La. Gov Piyush Jindal, has finished "Katrina cottages" sitting in Baton Rouge, unused, and likely has his "Slum-Dog Millionaire" wife, keeping her curry spices and Hindu dresses in them!  All I know is that the homes aren't in New Orleans and lower La.-where they belong and people are living under a bridge.  It's nerve-wrecking, at how the U.S. and State Gov. has this deliberate, targeted incompetence and they think they're so slick about everything. 

The Army Corp of Engineers has one Caucasian lady from lower Plaquemines Parish, in a hotel because she simply has no more land left in Buras, due to these "land grab" scams by Big Oil Companies!  She has been in a hotel, since after Katrina!  What sane government leaves their own citizens homeless, especially if the citizens was a land owner in the USA?

The late Alfred Robinson, of Sunrise, was getting a little senile and he left a stash of money in his home.  After Hurricane Katrina, the FEMA workers went through his rubbish and pocketed all of his money!  Anything of value, that FEMA workers found (guns, money, jewelry) was pocketed and stolen.

Last Hurricane season, after Nungessor ordered an evacuation of Plaquemines Parish, many people were still paying out of pocket to rebuild, due to the lack of political will by La. elected officials to take on insurance companies and Road Home red-tape, and didn't have supplies-when they returned home due to stores not being opened.

Lucretia Hunter, of Buras, went into Nungessor's office and was shocked that he had about 1000 cases of bottled water, that he didn't hand out or even make an attempt to offer citizens of Plaquemines. He didn't even offer her a bottle of water, when she was right there in his face!

Louisiana officials, sit on supplies, until FEMA gives them away to other states.

 

Senator, David Vitter hasn't tried to push through anything in reform, that is South of Belle Chase.  Having the Federal Gov. stop at Belle Chase with levee funding-doesn't do much for the 60 miles of people, who live South of Gretna.

Let the games begin!

"Mediocre people have an answer for everything and are astonished (nor properly outraged) at nothing."-Eugene Delacroix. French Artist (1798-1863)

 

 

Louisiana University fires Levee Expert-! Corruption!

  L.S.U. fires Levee expert who was a frequent critic of the Army Corp. of Engineers and the U.S. Government's actions along the Lower Louisiana coast and the entire levee system in lower Louisiana-including New Orleans.  The Louisiana state government, Baton Rouge and Federal Gov. are evidently covering up the systemic flooding out of lower Louisiana communities on behalf of land developers and oil companies.

Corruption is worse under Gov. Piyush Jindal aka "Bobby" in La. state.  The national media doesn't live in Louisiana and therefore have no idea of what they are talking about, when they say this state is getting cleaned up due to a certain politician. 

Gov. Jindal has appointed Texas-oil Republican and President of Plaquemines Parish-William Nungessoraka "Billy" onto a wetlands preservation board(as reported by the Belle Chase "Plaquemines Parish Gazette") but in reality Jindal and Nungessor are blocking all investigations into the systemic blowing up of levees and land grabs by Big Oil in lower La.

Plaquemines Parish idiots are only hurting themselves by not locking on to local corruption, thinking they have time to worry about national issues, while Nungessor and oil companies are flooding them out of their own homes and taking land for oil drilling.

Editor-Amos of the New Orleans Times Picayune, not only has investments tied up with developers, who need to displace Louisianians for land developments, in New Orleans, but he acts as the unofficial Public Relations person for an entire host of corrupt, mostly Republican politicians, up and down the Mississippi river in lower Louisiana.   This man (Amos) is the most pathetic of them all!  Not only will he get on national television and cover up corruption for Texas oil & Piyush Jindal but he uses the Times Picayune/NOLA.Com to push a very radical agenda in lower Louisiana, through bogus journalism and deliberate deflections from such obvious and sickening corruption. We have a problem in lower Louisiana and it aint getting addressed by the media, Senators, Congress or U.S. Government!!  This is why it is important to support organizations like Levees.org

Exactly one day after Levees.org held a press conference denouncing the muzzling of hurricane experts who speak out on the metro New Orleans flood, Ivor van Heerden, frequent critic of the US government, was given the ax.

Van Heerden, the brave coastal scientist who led the state's independent Team Louisiana investigation into the levee failures during Katrina, has been given notice by Louisiana State University that he will be terminated as a research professor in one year.

Van Heerden believes he was let go because LSU is concerned that his frank talk with the media has and continues to hurt LSU's chances of getting federal dollars.  

At Levees.org's press conference this week we denounced the silencing of experts.

We cited the case of Gorden Boutwell, a highly respected local geotechnical engineer who served on two levee investigation teams post Katrina.  In June 2007, he wrote to me that he was ashamed for his society (American Society of Civil Engineers) because it was understating the Corps of Engineers' role in the catastrophic levee failures.  However, he forbade me from publishing his remarks because a member of the Army Corps of Engineers had approached him and told him that if he spoke out critically of the Corps, that his engineering company would be destroyed.

Gorden Boutwell died in September 2008. I brought his letter to the media - an important letter that I had held back nearly 2 years - because I believe that is what Mr. Boutwell wanted me to do.

The threat to Mr. Boutwell, like that to van Heerden was verbal.  There is no smoking gun.

And that makes it hard to show conclusive proof that the federal government silences those who speak out.  It's hard to quantify the extent of the muzzling of experts who are critical of the Corps of Engineers or other federal agencies. 

But Gorden Boutwell a crusty, outspoken engineer was afraid.   

And now, van Heerden, a fine scientist is fired. 

These are two more reasons to demand the 8/29 Investigation Act, a truly independent bipartisan analysis of the flood protection failures in metro New Orleans.

Retired Military Vet, Ronald Treadaway Sr, takes on Levee Crimes by the state of La. by Nagara Duplessis

75 year old military Vet, writes letter/blogs to pressure U.S. Justice Dept and the current Government of Louisiana to investigate the systemic blowing up of levees in Plaquemines Parish,La.

Ronald Treadaway, Sr. -a current resident of Georgia state.

Graduated from Warren Easton High School in New Orleans and attended S.E.Louisiana college for a semester before enlisting in the U.S. Air Force. Korean war veteran. Published in Georgia magazine and other publication about my culture, heritage and Louisiana cuisine.  

Treadaway Sr."I have a true story to tell, but no one would listen. Local and national news media wouldn't listen. The State of Louisiana and the United States government refused to listen.
No mention was made by historians about the injustice at Rosewood in Florida and the true story about the Spanish slave ship, "Amistad" that was featured in Steven Spielberg's film about the revolt of African slaves in 1839.
My story begins on April 29, 1927 when the levee was dynamited at Caernarven, Louisiana, 13 miles below New Orleans, flooding thousands of residents of two Louisiana parishes out of their homes. To get permission from the U.S. government to carry out the dynamiting, the mayor of New Orleans and 50 leading businessmen promised to pay crevasse victims for all losses. In order to save New Orleans from flooding my forebears became not only victims, but their homes and property at "Cheniere Ronquillo", were expropriated by the Orleans Levee Board because of the lands oil and mineral wealth.
Members of the Louisiana legislature,judicial and executive branches have conspired to cover up a fraud and extortion of economic and political significance over a period of 70 years perpetrated by their predecessors.
The United States Justice Department's attention should be brought to bear on former and current legislation passed by the Louisiana legislature concerning illegally expropriated land in Plaquemine Parish House Bill No. 1767 - Act 245 passed by the 1985 regular session of the legislature and Senate Bill 1460 passed in the 1997 session of the legislature. Remember it was alleged that state and federal funds were used in this illegal expropriation of land not used for flood control, but only used to enrich the pockets of corrupt politicians in Baton Rouge because of the lands mineral wealth.
An article that appeared in the New Orleans Times Picayune on June 24, 1997 states that Louisiana Senate Bill 1460, approved by the legislature, does not require full payment on interest the landowners or their heirs or due.
Now a Republican governor (former Governor Foster) is sitting in judgment much like Pontius Pilate, who by the way was Governor of Judea.
The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources should be ordered by a court of law to reveal the names of the original owners of illegally expropriated land. The Freedom of Information act was never used in this case. Why?
(It should be noted that we loss our class action law suit against the State of Louisiana involving expropriated land of the Cheniere Ronquillo Spanish Settlement that was once property of our forebears. No mention was made by our corporate and political news media about the Louisiana State Supreme Court ruling against our suit. Only the chief justice of the court voted in our favor. There once was a great culture that lived here and this was not mentioned by the academic community or historians. )
Birth, marriage, death and land records that were presumed for decades to be altered or destroyed in the Parish of Plaquemne under the f ormer reign of a political dynasty were never investigated.
Millions of dollars (500 million in escrow) that the state received in 1990 and was allegedly used to finance local, state and national elections was never investigated by the F.B.I.
Local and national news media should take an active interest in this case because this injustice makes a mockery of our United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.
There is a Veterans memorial in the Pointe a la Hache Courthouse that honors veterans from Plaquemine parish. The country, state and parish they fought and died for denied them and their heirs their constitutional birth rights to land and property.
The New Orleans and Baton Rouge newspapers won't tell you the rest of the story. Why did the Korean Veterans Association pay a visit to the Pointe a la Hache court house in 1989?
This is submitted in memory of our forebears who endured hardships, adversity, injustice and violations of their civil and constitutional rights, namely the confiscation of their land and property and the nullification of their last will and testament by the State of Louisiana and the United States government. Foreign lobbies have more rights then U.S. citizens.
The U.S. Justice Department should investigate the corrupt levee boards in Louisiana in regards to the failure of the levees during Hurricane Katrina.
There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
In order to understand my story, I recommend the following books to interested readers:
Rising Tide by John M Barry and Leander Perez - Boss of the Delta by Glen Jeansonne LSU Press."

 

 

 

At this time, we are hoping that a new administration, that isn't from Texas Big Oil, can finally bring closure to hundreds of lower La. citizens and families.  The state's strategy of letting the people "die out", who are victims of these crimes, will not work, because like in Bohemia Spillway, there will be a  waiting generation to take up the fight!

La. Senator Mary Landrieu acts & David Vitter Sits and Spin! by Nagara Duplessis

WASHINGTON, DC- U.S. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) today introduced an amendment to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reform bill that would help protect Americans from dangerous levels of formaldehyde in textiles including clothes, draperies, fabric and carpeting. The amendment would require the CPSC to regulate and test formaldehyde in textiles. 

Another good job by Democratic Senator, Mary Landrieu but is it too little too late?  My only gripe with Louisiana politicians, is that it takes a crisis to happen to OTHER states before our elected officials get their butts in gear.

With so many watchdog agencies of the U.S.gov. reporting that FEMA trailers in La. (the ones who were lucky enough to even get those)-tested at toxic levels for cancer causing toxins, no Louisiana official acted on this information.

Gov. Jindal, Senator Vitter, Senator Landrieu, Lt. Gov Mitch Landrieu, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and the Presidents of Plaquemines, Jefferson and St.Bernard Parish-aren't being held accountable for almost 100 billion dollars disappearing from Louisiana!

The New Orleans "Times Picayune" has proved to be nothing but a RR machine for corruption, illegal immigration into New Orleans, and a platform of corrupt Republicans in this state and Texas.  The people in lower Louisiana have no knowledge of this corruption because there isn't an honest media outlet willing to cover and expose it or willing to cover anyone beyond New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and his personal life!  NO ONE CARES ABOUT MAYOR NAGIN'S HOME IN DALLAS! WE CARE ABOUT THESE LAND GRABS and Levees taking 10 years to build just to withstand a Cat.4 Hurricane!  We care about why MSNBC news crews are finding paper being used as stuffing for holes in the levee system.  Can we get some real journalism in lower Louisiana?

I can't even get into the corrupt city council members in each of these Parishes, many of whom have no formal education!

But, beggers can't be choosers. If Barack Obama can stop out sourcing of American jobs to India ( a move to surely piss off East-Indian Gov. Piyush Jindal) and Senator Landrieu can block future Louisiana kids and elderly from being exposed to poisons and toxins-then we have to take it.

There are many cancer deaths due to people living for over six months in a FEMA trailer simply because Gov. Bobby Jindal and his corrupt Southern Republican handlers did not want to build the Katrina cottages for New Orleans black folks, in an effort to destabilize and demographic-shift the city of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina or to create the "NEW" New Orleans as the media and La. officials in Baton Rouge raved about and desired.

These FEMA trailers have been used to house people for years when it should have only been used for a  matter of months!  We have no idea of the affects that living long-term in a toxic FEMA trailer will have on growing kids, who have spent 3 years in these things and we know that there is no bottom level for the U.S. gov when it comes to lying and covering-up crimes-especially in Louisiana state.

In conclusion, Mary Landrieu, has been the only one in La.-doing anything about shining  a spot light on a wide and vast network of incompetence and criminal activity against the folks of Louisiana state.

Now who will be brave enough to take on the corrupt Army Corp of Engineers and the fake levees in Plaquemines Parish that are owned by oil companies and being used to steal land from American citizens without compensation?  Republican Senator Vitter has been MIA since he threw a fit at the airport and gotten caught with a New Orleans madame!  Senator David Vitter has done nothing in this state. He goes to Belle Chase in Plaqumines Parish, when he should be in Port Sulphur and when those poor folks are asking about why the Army Corp. has taken their land and built the "private" levees even lower to the ground-Vitter simply answers, "I dont know."  That has been his answer for the last 3 years!

Senator David Vitter, La. Gov. Jindal (Piyush) and Plaqumines Parish President Billy Nungessor-are nothing more than PR water boys for a modern day Louisiana Bohemian Spillway in Plaquemines. 

“The CPSC has identified formaldehyde as a potential hazard but has failed to regulate it in textiles,” said Casey.  “American consumers can’t test these products on their own and American manufacturers should not have to compete with corner cutting competitors.  It is time the Consumer Product Safety Commission does its job and keeps Americans safe by testing for formaldehyde to protect consumers from this poison.”

American Idol Manipulation on Louisiana's Post-Katrina Blacks! More American Shame. by T.D.

(Update-a CBS staff called me in New Orleans and informed me that Wednesday-News Corp.'s Peter Chernin and Rupert Murdoch made sure to single out African American Coon token-Randy Jackson for getting the black kid to say "guns" on Fox camera(also home to African American reporter Nischelle Turner-who said blacks were animals during Katrina reporting)-which raised more than 60 million for Charity Projects Entertainment Fund-enough to pay off staffers for a about a decade-most of the money will be sat on and held for the CEO non profit directors. It is funny that no major studio or network had any African American males in-any form of public view during these supposedly liberal left wing High Society get-together but Randy Jackson is all over-not Simon or Paula Abdul but the token the Negro)

The real story about American Idol "Give Back" show. Let's get the "REAL" Katrina story straight from the "REEL" version.

• American Idol ratings are at all time lows.
• The American Idol give back was more about getting itself some ratings than about helping poor people.
• They misled the public into the real reason that so many people of a certain group are homeless and poor.
• I found it laughable and absurd that American Idol sent Shreveport, Louisiana native-Randy Jackson to label Louisiana as black and crime infested but left the poor kiddies with coloring books!
• Justice John Paul Stephens has reported that the E.P.A. (Environmental Protection Agency) is refusing to comply with the cutting back of global warming gas which triggers Hurricanes in lower La. even though the Supreme Court has ruled that it must take into consideration the effects that gas pollution is having on our environment.
• The bulk of Original foreign Katrina aid-following the disaster, came from Africa and the Middle East. Europe gave some blankets. Canada sent in troops. American citizens donated the bulk of domestic aid-most of which ended up in the being misused by the Federal and local governments. The government and media has only spent negative story after negative story to cover up for its own corruption in Louisiana state.
• Lets keep it real about whats going on in the United States of America.

More media manipulation and bull shit in America. American Idol-distributed by the biggest Nazi in all of the world- Rupert Murdoch and his British counter-part-Simon Fuller at Fox Networks, News, Television and all that mess-sent its token fat, crusty black coon-Randy Jackson into the notorious 450 FEMA trailer park (mostly populated by rural people of color after the levees in Sunrise, La was blown-in another African America section of a lower La. Parish)-to seek out and script little black children to say "we are scared of guns and crime" is low and dirty.   The producers and media are scripting these children and exploiting them for a warped image of lower La.  First, crime isn't an issue in lower rural Louisiana-Plaquemines Parish but survival and corruption is a major factor.  The only crime in rural lower Louisiana (plaquemines parish) is corruption by Parish " Texas oil" President Nugessor and residents "finding" food and gas tanks. Billy Nungessor isn't the real Parish President of Plaquemines-this was a big oil Power Grab and the elections were fraud and held when 70% of the residents were displaced.

No one is talking about the levees that were blown up or "gave" or "broke" in the Sunrise section of Plaquemines.  It is funny how every dam black neighborhood along the Mississippi from New Orleans on down had a levee break. There is more to the lower ninth ward trend of drowning people of color on the South.  There has been a confirmed 3.7 billion dollars missing from FEMA.  Mostly due to corrupt Southern white men-setting up fake Hurricane businesses and then Bush giving them bogus contracts.  All the state officials know about this corruption and some likely have nice hidden bank accounts. The people are suffering in complete and utter disgust-while the corrupt few live LARGE off of fraud.  Yet, all one hears on the media is the black woman in Atlanta who got a few thousands or the black guy in Houston who went to a strip club on a Walmart FEMA debit card(which it was legal to do so.)  Not one arrest has been made to any "good Ole boy" person or official, who milked tax payers out of 3.7 billion! NOT ONE!

America is corrupt, the Federal government is broke and the government destroyed people's lives for oil fields and developments-and now they want to send media down to script kids to talk about non-existing gun fire?? Please. Give it a rest.  If America and Big Oil wants to change its image-in lower La. then pay off Bohemia Spillway-which has been one scam after another-at waiting for people to die off from land that was stolen for oil drilling. Give Plaquemine Parish residents like 80-something year old Virginia Hunter-her land or rightful compensation and she is a victim of Bohemia Spillway on top of that! You people just keep raping citizens and staying beneath the radar. Not any more! Give residents like Estelle Coleman of Buras-her compensation and settle Bohemia Spillway. Stop acting like the terrorist governments, that we proclaim to protect the world from and maybe people wouldn't be growing so hostile.

American Idol talks about Africa and blacks in Louisianan-but no one is saying that the U.S. government has created poverty among blacks and working poor-by being corrupt. The U.S. government is holding Africa in poverty due to its oil lust and the exact same terrorist U.S. tactics in Africa are being used in lower Louisiana against poor and rural people.  This is exactly why the Iraqis are upset-you have dam hillbillies sipping tea in a "green zone" while the rest of the country is suffering in animal like conditions.  When I say Hillbilly-I mean they look like HILLBILLIES. Sitting in the middle of the Middle East-talking oil money at a "white only" country club! That's the entire logic behind what is driving the issues around the globe. The U.S. State dept. is hiding some real facts about why people are so mad at the U.S. in Iraq. They want to use Southern trailer park logic all over the globe and it aint flying.

America is the reason why 80 year old white people in Pennsylvania state are having oil wells put in their front yards while private property is being stolen through eminent domain scams.  The E.P.A. -Environment Protection Agency-was ruled by the Supreme court to cut back on global warming gasses and they are refusing to comply!  This is how comfortable the mega rich and corrupt are with being criminals in America.  I spoke with a white American male from Montana who emailed me about oil corruption and asked if he should lease his property to the oil companies in his state? Hell No! Once an oil company "leases" your property-you cant even plant a flower without getting sued by the company and then in a few years they petition the courts to take it. The Supreme Court is corrupt and the media doesn't want to show that side of America. Well, sorry-but as long as you keep coming into my neck of the woods-I'm going to keep exposing your hype and lies.  It was the same story when that loud mouth-Texas red neck Dr.Phil (or whatever he is supposed to be now a-days to Americans) had nerve to step foot in Lower Louisiana and then decided to yell and be "short" with a lady who had just gone through hell. Poor people do not need to be further exploited by American media. Lower middle class rural people-on the same land for generations are now in some urban area or "make shift" rural FEMA ghetto like the "450" (450 FEMA trailers in one condensed area of rural Plaquemines-filled with mostly people of color)-unable to get aid due to corrupt American companies-taking over 300 billion-most of which went to companies who haven't even set foot in Louisiana or Mississippi.  Yet, Senator Trent Lott blamed it all on blacks from New Orleans and managed to pass laws that further displaced more poor people in Louisiana while La. officials sat back and did nothing as this Mississippi Senator regulated their people and state. Where was David Vitter? Ray Nagin, Broussard, Mary & Mitch Ladrieu have all stepped up their game-but Vitter and Blanco are sadly, sadly dropping the ball.  I have to do a 180 on Gov. Blanco (should've listened to my mother on this woman)-she must have signed some back door deals-I haven't seen a Louisiana Gov. give big oil such a blank check to take over entire areas-in the history of big oil drilling in this state.  It takes longer to walk from Canal st. to St. Ann than it does for an oil company to get a drilling permit.

The reason why I know that A.I. scripted these kids to lie for cameras-is that they forget that they aren't dealing with Houston Post-Katrina people but when your talking to people still in the state of La-your talking to someones relative, cousin or neighbor. The kid and his mom-have said that he was scripted to say "guns" and "crime" by Fox networks. We know Fox, Murdoch(Also owns N.Y. Post, a film studio, a porno production company for hotel chains, Fox news, and trying to obtain the Dow Jones & Wall Street Journal) and how they follow laws of Hitler-it is too bad that the idiots in the black congressional caucus can't seem to see this fact. We know these children and know that they were told to lie by the producers for that sorry ass show-where dummies sent in 60 million dollars which will go no where but into non-profit CEO's pockets. Ya know by U.S. Corporate law-a non-profit is required to give less than 30% of all "donations" to the actual target cause. All the money donated by American citizens and countries from Africa and the Middle East (mostly being that Europe only sent in some sheets and blankets)-never make it to the victims of Katrina.
