In a quiet corner of rural Louisiana, the cost of truth has never felt higher.

What began as a blog post—“The Pipeline They Never Told Us About”—has spiraled into something much darker. I set out to investigate carbon capture and storage (CCS), a billion-dollar experiment unfolding in the shadows of our rural communities. I had no political agenda. No team behind me. Just a conviction to tell the stories no one else would.

Then came the price.

An old, unpaid traffic ticket became a bench warrant. I was arrested and told I’d sit in jail for 15 days, until a bond freed me. Days later, without notice to me or even my bondsman, the court date was moved up in secret. Another bench warrant was about to follow. The message was clear: silence yourself, or face jail. Intimidation to the highest level was used.

My chronic health conditions meant that a jail stay could have easily become a death sentence. Whether that was the plan, I may never know. But the timing is no coincidence.

Meanwhile, my vehicle was taken from my driveway. Not by repo agents. Not by local traffic officers. But by unmarked units with the Beauregard Paish narcotics division. They removed it from private property and left it on a public road, just long enough to call a towing company 45 miles away to impound it. The justification? An expired tag. No citation was issued, just the impoundment of the vehicle.

Freedom of speech has a cost. And for an independent journalist who won’t stop asking questions, that cost is now measured in arrest warrants, intimidation, and the quiet terror of knowing someone wants you gone. I have been suddenly put on law enforcement’s radar.

They want me silenced before I can speak.

But I won’t stop.

Over the next several weeks, CO₂ Chronicles will release a three-part exposé tracing the legislative maneuvers, PAC money, and quiet alliances that built Louisiana’s CCS agenda behind closed doors. We’ll follow the money. We’ll trace the influence. And we’ll name the names of those who authored bills, accepted donations, and signed away public trust—without ever telling the people they represent.

This isn’t just about carbon capture. It’s about transparency. It’s about the erosion of representative government in a state where backroom deals too often speak louder than the voices of its citizens.
