There’s a fascinating sort of interview/debate between him and Bill Buckley you can find on YouTube.

You could say that about society today too, except now it is Democrat vs Republican.

That’s gold in many different ways. Ole Leander made a few good and even foresighted points there. Buckley’s just smooth as silk.

am sure it was all part of that deal that is still paying Huey P Longs family.


Huey was certainly involved. You can follow the paper trail back to Huey if you know where to look.

Acquisitive Prescription for Bad faith possession is 30 years, so I’d say you lost the right to retake possession decades ago.

Leander would be rolling over in his grave if he saw St Bernard Parish today

where did the perez's spend all than money?


I feel guilty saying this, but I’ve known his great grandson most of my life. His (my friend’s) father married a New Orleans girl in his 20’s, had one son with her, then soon after divorced her. He moved to Poplarville, became a cop, and started a new family, new life, and had little to do with his ex from then on. I wanna say he gave her the bird when it came to child support.

His mother, Joyce, was a wonderful woman. A Newcomb graduate and New Orleanian, who later in life remarried after her husband passed, moved to Baton Rouge when New Orleans breaking records for murder. She was the most intimidating elderly woman you would want to meet. In her 70’s she was shrewd, generous to her grandson, sharp as a tack, and from what I saw, lived very frugally. I can remember Joyce bringing gallon jugs of water from Baton Rouge to my friend’s apartment on Nashville because she knew tap in the city was, and is, undrinkable.

That’s about the extent of good things anyone will say about them, probably. I met a good bit of his relatives over the years and it seems the scumbag gene skipped generations with their family.

We went to Idlewild on the weekends a lot to go shoot and raise hell. The houses, the chapel, the game room with any mount from Africa you can imagine, the closets still full with his ridiculous wardrobe,….it was all surreal.

One weekend, Leander’s grandson’s, who I think, lived on the property at that time, showed us an itemized expense sheet of a safari he had just returned from in Africa. It was more than a lot of doctors and lawyers were making a year in the 90’s.

Moreso than the amount of money he had just blown on shooting a bunch of shite he wasn’t gonna eat, and that his grandfather had already shot and had full body mounts of in his game room (which was actually just another house on the property), I was dumbfounded by how disinterested he was to discuss any of it, and how he moved the conversation to something else that, to me, seemed mundane/boring by comparison. I want to say it was pictures of his daughter at an equestrian tournament.

This has me Oweo’ing pretty frickin hard, I’ll admit it. I apologize. But, to answer the question of where did he spend all the money, I’d say he didn’t. The amount of generational wealth he left for his descendants, with which they were willed trust funds to live leisurely and with little regard for stress or reality, is his legacy. fricking people he didn’t know from the grave. He’d probably be proud.

I never got the impression any of them had any affinity for the man or discussion about what he did. With that said, none of them were beatin’ themselves up over it.

She said they thought some of the money was used to partially to run the parish because they had little or no federal funding


They dodged integration of the public school systems for years by running segregation academies such as Promised Land, River Oaks, and Delta Heritage until they closed in the late 80s… the regular public schools got very little funding due to this. there were court cases about the legality of them using state funded textbooks.

I think the courthouse was burned down by some dude that was trying to get out of a court date. I remember it happened in the early 2000s. All of the land conveyance records were saved and moved to a temporary office in Belle Chase.

That would be $480,000,000,000 in production. That’s a lot of barrels of oil.

I’m only 20 minutes into the second link. But, Buckley comes across as the same brand of smug, moral authoritarian that we see today with most of the elected officials representing the progressive movement and republicans in name only.

My God, what a frickin prick. The man just hurls insult after lie with his pathetic condescending smile knowing his liberal audience, oblivious to the realities of what Perez is patiently explaining, has no interest in any of the absolute truths being articulately presented to them.

For instance, Perez says for every 8 black men hired by the parish to work on infrastructure projects they hire one white man. Buckley’s retort? “Oh, they must be cheap labor.”

Just an unbelievably pretentious, accusatory douche bag.

All of that law is so stupid. It belongs to whomever it belongs to. The lawyers that decided to muddy the waters in this area were evil shite-stirrers.

The purpose of the law is stability. It quiets title for the possessor and against absentee owners. Thirty years is a long time, and almost anything the owner does to exercise ownership will restart the clock.

They made some lawyers rich before that. Look up the Leiter Minerals case.
