Things can change very quickly if there’s an “attack” on U.S. soil they totally didn’t know about in advance or anything when they signed this.

Federal regulations and protections can get pushed aside real fast in the name of security, especially when you have states like Louisiana already working so closely with DHS.

Or be the public motivation somebody is looking for to join in a war he totally doesn’t want to join even though he just handed a bunch of tech bros military seniority roles…

You’re preaching to the choir

Who says they won’t use drones and blame it on another country?

I’m not worried about a threat from Iran. I’m worried about a false flag being blamed on Iran

Its the timing of all this with Iran that has me most concerned and the fact that Trump just got rid of the only agency that does a thorough investigation into industrial explosions.

And the fact that the Mossad snuck in drones to Iran recently for their attack

And the video of Landry signing this bill and mentioning our nuclear power plants and saying Trump will be signing his own EO soon

And the fact that Trump also just fired a Biden appointee who was head of the Nuclear safety board that oversees America’s nuclear reactors

Hopefully all just part of a really weird series of coincidences

False flag attack he then blames on Iran is my biggest fear, and seems pretty likely.

*Invading Poland via sneak attack while the U.S. acted to distract Poland by leading them to believe they were actually being heard in a discussion about ways to keep something exactly like this from happening.

That’s a bingo

Is it also a propaganda article from the Associated Press?

Israel’s spy agency used AI and smuggled-in drones to prepare attack on Iran

Yes, in this district nobody has ever challenged a board seat, and it’s only happened 7 times throughout the history of the state in other districts.

Usually people just have the seat until they decide to step down.

Yeah you’re right, my bad.

This is the first time there has ever been a challenge to a seat and an election in this district, so where did they get the idea that estimated voters would only be ~20/location?

They said that they got it from the registrar of voters, but each parish has its own registrar and the district covers 5 parishes. So which parish/registrar came up with that number, what was it based on since it was the first election? Why was the same number applied equally when taking 5 different parishes into consideration?

Ok I’ll just come out and say this, I think it would be easy for a certain corrupt individual to create a false flag drone attack from a “foreign adversary” in order to boost patriotic morale and gain the support necessary to drag a certain country into a war he has repeatedly and very publicly announced he does not want to be involved in despite all evidence to the contrary.

Especially given that corrupt individual has dismantled several safety measures and regulations and eliminated positions of individuals who are trained to keep something like this from happening.

If you look at the amount of damage done by the Beeper attacks a few years ago, you really don’t need a gigantic war drone to cause a catastrophe in certain conditions.

I know it sounds paranoid AF, but I find it especially odd that same individual is trying to shut down the only agency that would thoroughly investigate an industrial chemical explosion if one were to occur. https://grist.org/energy/trump-quietly-shutters-the-only-federal-agency-that-investigates-industrial-chemical-explosions/

Yeah that’s why it would be like a Trojan horse, if it allegedly came in from a shipment from another country.

Exactly, it’s a modern day trojan horse. It seems to be fairly easy to then potentially pin the attack on just about anyone using shell companies for shipment. Especially with the deregulation and removal of so many safety and security positions over the last several months.

I was reading a little about the beeper attacks the and I think even now there is still some uncertainty about which company actually worked with the Mossad to manufacture the batteries that contained the explosive.

The only reason I even bring that up, is that there were so many steps involving so many different groups of legitimate manufacturing companies as well as shell companies to ship the beepers. Some of the beepers were even taken apart and inspected before being distributed as a security measure, but they had used such a small amount of explosive fuel within the batteries, that it was completely missed.

Who would have thought that this would be the result of what happens when oligarchs buy up most major and even many local news outlets, run the same story on the front page of every news source, and censor edit the shit out of important news before burying it somewhere so that you have to literally go out of your way and dedicate a significant chunk of time searching for it. Staying as informed as I am able to has literally become my new very unfun “hobby.”

I’m assuming they were hoping more people would just stop paying attention to what is happening and never ask any questions about why everything is so fucking awful all the time.

This was the first of its kind of election in the district, so I would really like to know where they got those estimated numbers, and if they went only by one parish voter registrar when determining the numbers for 5 different parishes

The thing is this was the first of its kind election for this district, so where did those estimates even come from? If you give a number it’s got to be from somewhere right?

And they were just paper ballots. Nothing special about them. Here’s a picture of one of the ballots

Literally nobody could find a printer and some scissors and tell voters they would have more ballots in an hour or so?

This is the kind of election where usually only people who specifically are invested in the thing bother

This is exactly why so many people showed up. The district encompasses 5 parishes. Both candidates represent different parts of the district with different interests at stake.

The incumbent candidate lives in New Orleans, runs urban gardens around the city, and used her position on the board to create a program that has allowed others to create more gardens and rent tools through the program.

The candidate that challenged her is a commercial fisherman from a smaller town. The department that has jurisdiction over the board is set to be given oversight of testing for seafood safety and regulations. The bill is literally just sitting on the Governor’s desk waiting to be signed.

I am honestly kind of suspicious of the candidate that challenged her bc he never mentioned this while he was running.

Putting that aside, and assuming his intentions were good, I could also see why many voters in smaller communities within the district, who depend on the fishing industry for jobs, would want someone like him to have the position on the board.

The incumbent was announced the winner, and that’s who I voted for. I still believe there should be a re-do. Voters were turned away from an election that their tax dollars paid for. Unacceptable.
