It's like you had a nice neighborhood party going, people sipping whiskey talking about the Mayor and Linkin Park and Rose Gowen and bicycle lanes and Mr. Golonoskopy properties and outside by the garage there's a few people passing a joint around talking shit about who's fucking who at the police station and who's pulling the city manager's strings and then there's always some fuck up in an elbow patch jacket that thinks there's some serious discussion going on and says "What about our Filemon Vela bringing pollution to the Port and how it's going to mess everyone's health?" And the room goes quiet like a fart just went off. And nobody wants to say shit cause even though it's a fucked up thing, you know it's the big lions making a kill and eventually the blood money is going to spill down to you or someone you know. This is not a neighborhood squabble. It's major shit.There's a major complicity going on. So what's a little sulfur dioxide here and there? Thanks Mr. Barton for alerting us to this. Maybe the Herald can get more serious about this and start giving us more information.

DeleteTwo faced liars are what we end up electing in this region. Regardless of party it is all about what they can do for themselves to move up the political ladder while lining their own pockets.
DeleteThey don't give a damn about the people that elected them.
Never have I lived in a region where elected officials can't sell out their constituents and region fast enough the moment they are elected.
It is so Mexican of them!
Yes I am Hispanic, but never more ashamed of mi gente than the people in this region, who have had the chance to govern over their own...And what do they do?
They screw everyone even those not born yet by schmoozing with toxic companies to set up shop that destroy the environment. Sacrificing the LRGV citizens, fishing/shrimping industries and wildlife.
Step out and protest. Take action. Do not remain silent. Join your fellow citizens in saying..."Hell No" you cannot set up your toxic terminals/pipeline in our port or near any body of water in this region.
We do not want your East Texas Fracked LNG pumped into our area. This is not a sacrifice zone!
This was planned oh so long ago by Republicans with the blessing of traitorous Democratic elected leaders. They would not be building highways and bi-ways if it had not been planned oh so long ago.
That is why the lovely Governor we have now and his ilk have banned our cities from having the authority to say "No" against industries we do not want nor ever would we want in our region.
Texas is ruled by a dictatorship. Only people who believe themselves omnipotent deny citizens a voice in their communities. Gregg Abbott is one such person.
I blame Democrats for what is happening here in Texas across the board. They sat home instead of going to the polls. We are all going to live with that result...a toxic environment.
Say good by to the beautiful pristine landscape.
Pristine landscape? ha ha ha ha ha Open your eyes, Bitch!
DeleteYes to LNG.
ReplyDeleteFERC is giving the Brownsville and Port Isabel area residents a three week window to make comments showing any opposition. Our silence will be interpreted as community acceptance. Here's the link:

After knocking my head trying to figure out why Vela and other politicians are doing it, it finally dawned on me. It's all about the money. LNG is spreading goodwill around to influential locals so they can lead the charge for them and tell the natives what a great thing LNG is. Let's see how many of these politicians or business figures come out with LNG "consultant" jobs, like the ones our worthless state senator and master shake down artist likes to latch on to. I wonder if our crack team at the Herald can let go of the masturbation story for a moment and get hard LNG information now, as opposed to after the fact, so we can try to make sense of this, a reason why this unhealthy courtship is even going on.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who wants to go to the community meeting is invited.

I would not trust him, or his wife, and former Republican Judge, Rose Vela. They are both big political insiders.
ReplyDeleteJust wait, you're going to see the politicians families, friends and relatives start getting jobs connected to LNG and their job is to pacify the natives, to make us believe that it's all right, that it's just a little ole bitty emission thingamajig and harmless, that "no pasa nada." Who can forget the shady $21 million imaginary Port bridge -- Holy shit, it's another Port to Nowhere screw up and we're stuck once again with the tab but this time it's the destruction of our air, land, and water. Holy shit! The fucking poorest of the poorest and we get raped once and again and we keep on taking it up Diaz. There's got to be a way out of this.
ReplyDeleteI think the community deserves some answers from Mr. Vela and all of the other elected officials who support this bad deal.
ReplyDeleteMr.Vela sure is trying hard to catch up to Senator Lucio for the title of worst South Texas Politician.He is such a disappointment and a two-faced hypocrit.Guest speaker and participant when the United Brownsville mafia and the Mexican killers met in Rancho Viejo last year......then goes to Washington and speaks out against border violence! Why didn't he mention at those hearings he was conducting business with that cartel guy from Mexico that's responsible for the death of those 3 U.S. citizens ? Now he's pushing LNG on us??? And he is watching out for our best interests? Nothing but a "Sucio Lucio " wannabe . Ugh !
ReplyDeleteCallate el osico, pendejo!
DeleteWasn't there a picture of Vela with those people at that eventful gathering in Ranco Viejo?
ReplyDeleteYes, there is a picture of Vela with the United Brownsville mafia and the Mexican killers at Rancho Viejo . ....he should of showed that photo at the Washington hearings.Pure greed and evil in Vela.
ReplyDeleteSacrificing South Padre Island for the filthy dirty Oil and Gas Industry will be Vela's legacy. He'd sell his grandmother out for chump change if he could. It may be legal now to take money from these big corporations, but in my eyes he's just another crooked scumbag that sold his people out . Desgraciado !!
ReplyDeleteCan you name one public official in Brownsville, Port Isabel, South Padre Island, or Cameron County or the Port of Brownsville who has come out publicly and flat out stated, “I am against LNG plants” polluting our air and water? I can’t think of one.
ReplyDeleteSo, why is it easier to spot an ocelot than it is to find one public official, out of the 100 out there, that opposes the destruction of our habitat at the Port of Brownsville with LNG “liquefaction" plants? Why are the majority of them tripping over themselves to sign letters of support to welcome the out-of-towners and ruin the last precious natural resources we have left in exchange for 100, maybe 150 jobs?
They surely didn't fall for the old "everyone has one" pick-up line, like the one put out recently by Vivek Chandra, CEO of Texas Liquified Natural Gas, to an audience of business people at the Brownsville Economic Development Council.
“Every major port in Texas has gas connections, and they have massive amounts of industry. For whatever reason, Brownsville got kind of left out there,” the Herald quoted him as saying. The Herald didn't explore the "whatever reason". I can come up with two.
One is that Houston and Corpus Christi early on hogged up the lion's share of the "massive industry", and now that they can't, won't or are not allowed to build anymore, the LNG suitors are ogling little ole Brownsville, the last virginal port that doesn't have flares or smokestacks belching out pollutants into our blue skies and laguna waters.
I'd like to believe the other reason Brownsville probably got “left out” of our share of massive amounts of industry was because the people we elected could actually manage the daily traffic of a multi-million dollar port responsibly, attract semi-clean industry (after all, it is a port) and protect our natural resources.
Do we need 100 to 200 jobs that badly? At the expense of thousands of jobs that depend on unpolluted skies and waters. Port officials are always crowing about their annual surpluses and low taxes, which to me means we don't really need this dirty deal. The port director calls this misguided venture a "game changer" but it may well turn out to be for all the wrong reasons.
The Port is not an island onto itself. Pollution at the Port won’t just stop at the edge of Highway 48. And if the LNG plants make the Port their home, you will smell them before you see them on your way to and from the Island. Who wants that? Surely not anyone who plans to live and raise a family down here. One deep breath and you're back in sulfur stinking Beaumont. How can anyone want that? Is there one public official out there who's against this threatening calamity? I haven't heard of one yet.

Vela es una serpiente viscosa ! Vendo por birria !!
ReplyDeleteWhy all the anger now? I remember when every Tom-Dick-Harry wanted to be pictured with Vela on FB. Oh and the BISD hags forever kissing his butt-las lambiconas odiosas. Don't forget about his REPUBLICAN wifey trying to create drama against other politicians. A real drama queen la CHUSMA TAMALERA.
ReplyDeleteVela should have never run as a Democrat because he's far from it. His voting record proves he's a right-wing Tea Party candidate. Our area elected a Democrat, and we didn't get what we voted for.
ReplyDeleteCongressman Filemon Vela is really making a name for himself
ReplyDeletebut it might not be the one he was hoping for!
Check out this article by Jennifer A. Dlouhy , Energy Reporter, Houston Chronicle
Corpus Christi LNG project wins key federal permit
The Energy Department is allowing Cheniere to export as much as 2.1 billion cubic feet per day of liquefied natural gas over the next 20 years from the planned facility to countries with which the United States does not have free trade agreements.
Texas Democratic U.S. Reps. Gene Green of Houston and Filemon Vela of Harlingen jointly praised the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Energy Department for swiftly authorizing the Corpus Christi project.
"We're hopeful that FERC and DOE will continue to expedite the remaining LNG export applications in the backlog," they said, "so the United States can capitalize on its abundant domestic supplies of natural gas and capture a large portion of the world market."
This means more fracking here so they can sell their product overseas.

it sounds like they want to push these permits through before the public finds out what's coming. Where is the media and why aren't they doing their job!!!
DeleteSo where's the pictures of the others? ALL of our politicians are heavily funded by the fossil fuel industry. Where is Rep. Renee Oliveira's picture or Eddie Lucio III? They have been busy passing laws taking away "local control" from Texas towns and cities. Do you understand? The bill removes the legal rights of the community and allows them to frack in your backyard if they want to. They have been busy rolling out the red carpet for the oil and gas companies so they can frack anywhere they chose and then sell the refined lng overseas. If you don't understand what this means, you soon will. Now that they can export lng they intend to supply the world market with it. Our politicians have betrayed us. Shouldn't they be held accountable for their actions?
ReplyDeleteSome articles lately indicate that several of the US Reps are urging FERC to expedite the permits for LNG plants along the Texas Gulf Coast. Mr. Vela made this statement "We're hopeful that FERC and DOE will continue to expedite the remaining LNG export applications in the backlog," they said, "so the United States can capitalize on its abundant domestic supplies of natural gas and capture a large portion of the world market." What a crock of shit!! They want to destroy what we have going for us here so the companies can get rich selling the gas to China. They aren't paying taxes either, so all the locals are going to get is the pollution and destruction, and all the risk of having so much LNG in one area. Are we not under a threat of terrorism? Have they not issued warnings that ISIS is planning to attack on American soil? It's been well known that ISIS said they intended to target the Oil and Gas Industry? I saw that on the news last night, so why in the hell are these government officials working so damn hard to bring a dying industry to our port instead of getting someone better? Why are they in such a hurry to expedite the permits? Shouldn't they have to go through the proper channels? Shouldn't they have the community involved? We have the sunshine and all the wind from the gulf breeze, where is the renewable energy? The argument is "China could sure use the product right now" isn't going to fly. China is moving into first place right now for solar energy production and our port officials and politicians give us 5 stinking LNG refineries and export terminals ???? Brownsville and Port Isabel people are getting the shaft , the Industry is getting rich, so what are the politicians getting???? Believe me, this is about money.
