Louisiana is a safer place for Big Oil than Louisianians
Jarvis DeBerry
Rep. Danny McCormick’s attempt during the Louisiana Legislature’s session to have Louisiana designated a “fossil fuel sanctuary state” would never have passed constitutional muster. The state can’t just up and decide that its laws take priority over the country’s. But in calling out the absurdity of the Oil City Republican’s legislation, there’s a chance that some of us lost sight of the reality that Louisiana to our great peril has long been a fossil fuel sanctuary state.
No, the state can’t protect Big Oil from the feds, but it protects it from everybody else especially Louisianians who want the industry held accountable for its damage to the coast and its toxic effects on our air. And as accurate as it is to say that the state’s capitulation to the oil industry will destroy us, it’s even more accurate to say it has already destroyed us plenty.

A Review of Greg Poulgrain s book
JFK vs. Allen Dulles
Before I digress slightly, let me state from the outset that the book by Greg Poulgrain that I am about to review is extraordinary by any measure. The story he tells is one you will read nowhere else, especially in the way he links the assassination of President Kennedy to former CIA Director Allen Dulles and the engineering by the latter of one of the 20th century s most terrible mass murders. It will make your hair stand on end and should be read by anyone who cares about historical truth.
