Louisiana, the most Racist & Polluted State in America. (Creole Data Report)

OMG! I am in rural Louisiana and when I tell you that Louisiana is a Grade A, Top Level Dump of Pollution, I am still not fully articulating the crimes, which are taking place in Louisiana.

When I say that Louisiana is off the charts racist, that is still an understatement. First of all, my sister lives in St Charles Parish, which is North of New Orleans and there are constant emissions from a Monsanto Plant, along with other chemical plants that are causing major birth defects in the citizens of that parish.

The local hospitals in New Orleans are routinely sterilizing women of color, in sneaky medical Nazi procedures, no matter of education/wealth level.

When I went through New Orleans, I not only saw major shipments of drugs and guns being moved by the FBI, local state officials and ATF into the Port of New Orleans but these drugs and guns are actually being allowed to flow into the streets of New Orleans, in an effort to fill a new FEMA Prison, which there is one in New Orleans and one in Plaquemines Parish (South of New Orleans).

The idea of having the federal and local government move drugs/guns into New Orleans appears to be in an effort to lock up blacks, maintain an apartheid-like city, where a few racist whites appear to hold all of the top government/law enforcement/DA jobs but also being used to shove working poor blacks out of New Orleans to make way for expensive condos.

Where nice New Orleans Style “Shot Gun” homes used to sit, now sits about 20 blocks of high-end, tasteless, Los Angeles Styled Condos, which are surrounded by decaying neighborhoods because all of the black owned business are being run out of the city by developers and people like Mayor Mitch Landrieu.

Now on to rural Plaquemines Parish (my home parish). The town is devastated by pollution from not just BP, but also from Chevron and Exxon.
I went to walk my family’s property to see where I could build a home and the US Army Corp of Engineers, which is really a front for private developers like Donald Trump and oil companies, claim that they need more land, in order to build levees but in reality there are no levees in lower Plaquemines but instead these racist fucks are taking land for oil drilling.

What the US Army Corp of Engineers is doing in lower Plaquemines (Empire, Sunrise,Buras) is taking land, building low level plateaus, creating artificial flood threats, handing over the land to oil companies and then trying to drive out the few remaining natives with so called flood insurance that cost over $ 20,000 a year in rural South East Louisiana.

In New Orleans, there were out of town construction companies that were paying black male workers less than whites, simply based on skin color because Gov. Mitch Landrieu wants to drive blacks out of New Orleans being that he gets a kick back from developers and gentrification projects.

I just started to get a boat together to go out into the bayou but on the East side of Plaquemines, the Wild Life and Fisheries are stealing oyster leases and giving it to white fishermen/oystermen, simply based on skin color. All of the oysters on my grandmother’s leases, in Buck’s Bay, were either polluted by BP or stolen by whites to seed their oyster leases and yet I am still waiting for compensation from the BP Claims Center, which is really designed to pay white attorney fees, while BP pockets the money.

All of this mumbo jumbo about BP paying out millions of dollars, is really a fraud being promoted by the local con, trailer trash media. They may have paid some people that amount of money, as a token payment, but most victims of the BP Oil Disaster haven’t been paid any victim funds. Even I have not been properly compensated by BP Claims, and I was going through US Attroney General, Eric Holder at the Justice Dept.

All of the property in lower Plaquemines, which was stolen by FEMA or Road Home Program, has been handed out to non-Louisiana natives or shady lawyers, politicians (like Billy Nungessor, Parish President and a Klansman promoted by Time Warner-CNN and Big Oil) that want to build homes for out of town sports fishermen or simply pocket stolen land from victims of Katrina aka US Army Corp.

The Plaquemines Parish Sheriff Dept, is yet another example of drug running and a hub for crime, which tends to happen when the Dept of Homeland Sec, hands out grants and Wall St Bankers team up with FEMA to build prisons…..because they need to create a crime problem, even if the town only has 100 people.

It appears that in Louisiana, they build prisons as a priority and then the local law enforcement agencies, parish civil servants and feds go about flooding drugs into areas, in order to create a crime problem.

I simply cannot afford to allow the oil companies, FEMA or US Army Corp to confiscate any more land and Plaquemines Parish cannot afford to host out of town fishermen nor cater to them, while the US Coast Guard harass native fishermen in the bayou.

The Coast Guard in Louisiana is supposed to inspect oil rigs for safety violations but in reality their main mission is to harass native fishermen/oystermen that are trying to make a living. Oil rigs (Chevron) not only has workers that do illegal fishing (out of season/no fishing limitations on amount of fish caught off oil rigs) but the oil companies are still very unsafe and have no respect for the environment.
In fact, since Big Oil and the Obama Admin set up an oil safety office, staffed by Big Oil’s People, the oil spills in the Gulf are going unreported. Even I could not find a way to apply for a position in these so called Oil Safety Admin Offices being that Big Oil staffed these offices with criminals and Meth Addicts, just like the MMS (Mineral Management Services).

What we need to do in Plaquemines, is ban all sports fishing, cease and desist the building of homes that host sports fishermen, ban the US Army Corp, get oil companies off of our land and close down all of these private hunting clubs, which I suspect are being built in an unauthorized manner on private property on the east side of Plaquemines. I DO NOT WANT PRIVATE HUNTING CLUBS ANY WHERE IN THE PARISH. THE ENTIRE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO HUNT ON THE PARISH LAND, LET ALONE HAVING THESE PARISH CROOKS BUILD PRIVATE HUNTING CLUBS ON LAND THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM NOR THE PARISH!

We need a global body that will either come in and arrest or assassinate all of these Parish “Presidents” and judges in Louisiana State; because they are guilty of racism and crimes against humanity.
Any oyster bedding grounds on the east side of Plaquemines must be closed down due to racism and the Wild Life and Fisheries needs to be abolished.

I am just trying to work out my remedies for these issues in La. State. I may have to try the UN again and have them come in and be the government or if I go to my global elite connections, all they will do is nuke D.C. because even they are tired of the trailer trash which hold political office in the US

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Rep. Lindy Boggs, a plantation-born Louisianan who used her soft-spoken grace to fight for civil rights during nearly 18 years in Congress after succeeding her late husband in the House, died Saturday. She was 97.

Boggs, who later served three years as ambassador to the Vatican during the Clinton administration, died of natural causes at her home in Chevy Chase, Md., according to her daughter, ABC News journalist Cokie Roberts.

Boggs’ years in Congress started with a special election in 1973 to finish the term of her husband, Thomas Hale Boggs Sr., whose plane disappeared over Alaska six months earlier. Between them, they served a half-century in the House.

“It didn’t occur to us that anybody else would do it,” Roberts said in explaining why her mother was the natural pick for the congressional seat. Her parents, who had met in college, were “political partners for decades,” she said, with Lindy Boggs running her husband’s political campaigns and becoming a player on the Washington political scene.

Roberts called her mother “a trailblazer for women and the disadvantaged.”

In a statement, President Barack Obama said Boggs’ legacy “as a champion of women’s and civil rights over her nine terms in office as the first woman elected to the United States Congress from Louisiana will continue to inspire generations to come.”

When Boggs announced her retirement in 1990, she was the only white representing a black-majority district in Congress. “I am proud to have played a small role in opening doors for blacks and women,” she said at the time.

As family tragedy brought her in to Congress, so did it usher her out. At the time of her July 1990 announcement, her daughter Barbara Boggs Sigmund, mayor of Princeton, N.J., was dying of cancer. Sigmund died that October.

Her son, Thomas Hale Boggs Jr., is a leading Washington lawyer and lobbyist.

The elder Boggs was first elected to Congress in 1940, two years after the couple married. Both were also active in local reform groups.

Lindy Boggs was more than the typical congressional wife. She ran several of her husband’s political campaigns and helped him in his Washington and New Orleans offices.

“Early on, Hale established with politicians at home that I was his direct representative and that they could say anything to me that they could say to him. Whatever decisions I made, they would be his final decisions,” she said in 1976.

Breaking with most Southern whites, Lindy Boggs saw civil rights as an inseparable part of the political reform movement of the 1940s and ’50s.

“You couldn’t want to reverse the injustices of the political system and not include the blacks and the poor. It was just obvious,” she said in 1990.

She worked for the Civil Rights Acts of 1965 and 1968, Head Start and other programs to help minorities, the poor and women.

After she entered Congress, Boggs used her seat on the House Appropriations Committee to steer money to New Orleans and the rest of the state. As a member of the House Banking and Currency Committee, she used typical steely grace to include women in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974.

“I ran into a room where there was a copying machine, wrote in ‘sex and marital status’ on the bill, and made 47 copies,” she said. “When I took it back into the subcommittee meeting, I told them I was sure it was just an oversight on their part.”

Boggs changed the way politics operated, former Sen. J. Bennett Johnston, D-La., once said.

“I’ve seen it time after time,” Johnston said. “On difficult issues, powerful men and women are going toe to toe, sometimes civilly, sometimes acrimoniously. Lindy Boggs will come into the room. The debate will change. By the time she leaves the room, she usually has what she came to get.”

As the first woman to chair the Democratic National Convention, in 1976, she decreed that she would be addressed as “Madam Chairwoman,” rather than “Madam Chairman” or “Madam Chairperson.”

“I’m a woman,” she said. And, “Why should it be neuter?”

When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, one of the hardest-hit facilities was Lindy Boggs Medical Center, a historic hospital named in her honor the previous year.

Her Bourbon Street home also was damaged and The Washington Post reported in February 2006 that she was living in a hotel nearby.

“There are worlds of friends I miss,” she told the newspaper. “The culture is not there.”

Corinne Claiborne was born March 13, 1916, on a plantation near New Orleans, a descendant of William C.C. Claiborne, the state’s first elected governor. She came to be known as Lindy, according to Roberts, because a nurse thought she looked like her father, Roland Claiborne, and called her “Rolindy.”

She attended Sophie Newcomb College, affiliated with Tulane University, and met her future husband when both were editors of the Tulane student paper. She taught school between graduation in 1935 and their marriage in 1938.

As part of a group of well-connected women called the Independent Women’s Organization, she took to the street in a “Broom Brigade” in 1945, sweeping the streets to publicize the need to sweep out graft and corruption.

In her first election for Congress, in March 1973, she had to overcome prejudice against her gender and privileged background.

Said her Republican opponent, Robert E. Lee: “I’ve covered this district by foot, by car, by air. This is something that takes a strong, healthy man. … A socialite is not going to do this district any good in Congress.”

Her constituents disagreed, giving her at least 60 percent of the vote in every election from then on.

In 1991, a room in the Capitol for female members of Congress was renamed the Lindy Claiborne Boggs Congressional Women’s Reading Room to honor her long association with Congress. According to the House website, it was the first, and only time so far, that a room in the Capitol has been named for a woman.

Her Vatican posting was from 1997 to early 2001, and she said her goals were to work with the Vatican on promoting democracy, tolerance, religious freedom, peace and human rights.

In 2000, she announced that she would resign after President Bill Clinton left office, no matter which party won. “It’s been an honor and a privilege and a wonderful opportunity to be in this position, but it’s also extremely exhausting,” she said at the time.

Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, said in a statement that Boggs possessed “a keen intelligence and enduring charm,” and was “a true original” who was “as graceful as she was effective.”

“The country has lost a champion for civil rights and a trailblazer for women,” the said.

In addition to her children, Boggs is survived by eight grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
