Where does the first amendment end? When does it cross the line of violence? Why should we tolerate it? And what can we do to protect it while protecting our own beliefs and standing against violence?

🎶 Whispers of Lake Maurepas 🎶

Today, I dedicate this song to two true front-line fighters for our waters and wetlands: Bill Whittington and State Representative Kim Coates.

Their courage and commitment remind us that Lake Maurepas is more than just a body of water — it’s a lifeline for Louisiana’s people, culture, and future.

All of Louisiana stands behind their fight to protect Lake Maurepas. 💧💙

Industry is busy setting up its PACs and media sources to try to sell the citizens on corporate welfare, all while we are being put at risk. If you have not read Part 1 of the exposé "Cracks in the Promise," you are missing important information. Inside the exposé, you can click on a link to a Scientific Report that is a peer-reviewed study of the outcome of carbon sequestration. www.co2chronicles.com

Some say the industry may reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it's drawn serious concerns from residents.

🔥 The “Legislator Road Show” — for investors, not citizens.

Nine stops. Closed doors. Empty seats. Sponsored by chambers and industry, not the people of Louisiana. When citizens asked to attend, the answer was simple: “This is not a public meeting.”

So we asked the question: Who do our elected officials really serve — the voters or the investors?

CO₂ Chronicles pulls back the curtain in our latest blog, complete with a satirical cartoon that says what many of us are thinking.

🚨 NEW Blog Post 🚨

It started in the headlines — promises of “clean energy” and “economic growth.” But while most of Louisiana looked the other way, carbon capture projects crept quietly into our backroads and parishes.

Now, rural communities are waking up to survey crews, secret permits, and backroom deals that put their land and water at risk.

🚨 Louisiana’s Water Is Under Siege 🚨

Governor Landry’s SB244 just changed everything.

Local control over water? Gone.

Parish defenses against CCS injection wells? Weakened.

The Chicot Aquifer — the only drinking water source for 15 parishes — now sits under the thumb of Baton Rouge politicians and industry insiders.

And just days ago, 8 Vernon Parish Police Jury members voted to bring CCS projects directly over that aquifer. They gambled with your only water supply.

💧 This isn’t politics. This is survival. When the aquifer is gone, there are no do-overs.

🌍 Carbon Capture Goes Global — And Louisiana’s Leaders Sell Us Out

Across Europe and Asia, CCS is scaling fast with massive hubs, shared pipelines, and billions in government investment. While the world celebrates “innovation,” Louisiana’s reality is far different.

On September 15th, eight members of the Vernon Parish Police Jury voted to support CCS projects, opening the door for industry while leaving residents with more questions than answers. Instead of defending parish landowners and aquifers, they sided with industry promises.

And where is state leadership? Nowhere to be found. The Office of Conservation already proved this on September 9th, when they held a hidden hearing in Baton Rouge without public notice, undermining trust and transparency at every turn. Meanwhile, Louisiana is being branded a “CCS hub” — not because of smart planning, but because our leaders are willing to gamble with our land and water.

✅ Who guarantees our aquifers won’t be poisoned?
✅ Who defends landowners from eminent domain?
✅ Who ensures safety comes before corporate tax credits?

And let’s be clear: the ultimate responsibility sits with Governor Jeff Landry. He has a duty to ensure that the one water source feeding 15 parishes has zero chance of contamination. Anything less is a betrayal of the people he serves.

Dustin Davidson, as the new head of the Department of Natural Resources, must also understand his role. It is not to shield corporations or stage backroom deals — it is to notify and protect the people of Louisiana.

We will never accept another hidden hearing in Baton Rouge, such as the one held on September 9th at the Office of Conservation. Our communities deserve transparency. They deserve honesty. They deserve leaders who put land, water, and people above profit.

Louisiana can move forward — but not by sacrificing its people in the process. The people deserve better.

👉 Read the global CCS article here, then ask yourself: if the world is building CCS with safeguards, why is Louisiana moving recklessly without them?

🚨 **Vernon Parish Betrayed** 🚨

Yesterday, the Vernon Parish Police Jury voted to support CCS projects—ignoring the voices of nearly 90% of residents who have fought for over a year to protect their land and water.

These are not radicals. These are God-loving conservatives standing for their constitutional rights. Yet Jury President James Tuck went so far as to compare one citizen, Gary Musgrove, to the murderer of Charlie Kirk, simply for questioning CCS.

👉 Louisiana’s Constitution is clear: eminent domain cannot be used for private gain. The people spoke in 2006. But Baton Rouge and big corporations are trying to bury 40% of the nation’s carbon under Louisiana soil, trampling the will of the people.

Vernon Parish deserves leaders who defend their citizens, not mock them. This fight is not left vs. right—it’s right vs. wrong.

✊ Full exposé on Vernon Parish and the CCS betrayal coming next week. Who are the players—and what do they gain? Why did the Police Jury defy 90% of its citizens? And what options remain for the people?

If Governor Jeff Landry told the people to give him 30 days to find a solutions, WHY is Vernon Parish Police Jury not willing to take the governors lead. Hear the people's war cries, they do NOT want it.

Vernon Parish at a Crossroads: If Governor Jeff Landry is trying to come up with a solution, why isn't the PJ?

This morning at 10 a.m., the Vernon Parish Police Jury is expected to take a public stance in support of carbon capture and storage (CCS). If true, it would be a stunning reversal — and a betrayal of the very people they were elected to serve.

Vernon Parish was not just another parish in this fight. It was one of the founding parishes of the Louisiana CO₂ Alliance, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with neighbors across the state to demand safety, transparency, and accountability. In the 2024 legislative session, Vernon residents fought hard for bills that would have given local communities a voice in CCS projects. Their state representatives, Chuck Owens and Rodney Schamerhorn, are two of the strongest opponents of CCS in all of Louisiana. They have carried the will of their people into the Capitol — and the will of their people has been crystal clear.

Recent surveys show that 90% of Vernon Parish citizens oppose CCS. Ninety percent. That number doesn’t leave room for interpretation or confusion. The Police Jury was not elected to represent billion-dollar corporations. They were elected to represent their districts, their neighbors, and their communities.

So what changed? Why does it seem that Vernon’s leadership is now eager to embrace CapturePoint — a company that has been working overtime to spread money through the parish, from schools to organizations, in a textbook case of corporate influence? What does the Police Jury or its members have to gain from this sudden change of heart?

The people are baffled. And rightfully so.

A Lesson From Allen Parish

Just last week, Governor Jeff Landry sat down with about 20 citizens from across the state to hear their concerns. Vernon Parish was represented in that meeting. So was Allen Parish — a parish that has already felt the heavy hand of industry.

An Allen Parish resident stood up and explained how ExxonMobil bulldozed ahead on a Class VI well site, building roads even before Class V permits were issued. When the Allen Parish Police Jury tried to slow things down, simply to ensure safety and laws were being followed, ExxonMobil slapped the parish — one of the poorest in Louisiana — with a lawsuit.

That’s what happens when local leaders dare to protect their people against billion-dollar corporations. They get sued, bullied, and buried in legal fees.

After listening to these testimonies, Governor Landry told the group:

“If y’all don’t want it, y’all ain’t got to take it.”

The governor then asked for 30 days to come up with a plan.
