  • Pro-open borders, anti-war collective
  • Supports amnesty for all illegal immigrants



Monday, April 10 is being billed as a "National Day of Action & Rally for Immigrant Rights" by a large network of open borders organizations that will hold separate demonstrations in 16 states and the District of Columbia. Their declared agenda is to “stop the anti-immigrant House Resolution 4437,” “stop all attacks against immigrants,” and “stop [the] criminalization of immigrant communities.” Their demands include “a path to citizenship, not a temporary guest worker program”; “family reunification measures”; “worker protections”; and “full rights for immigrants!” (emphasis in original)

One of the organizers of these rallies is the Peace No War (PNW) Network, a self-described "collective of antiwar/peace and social and economic justice activists" whose mission is to "struggle for peace and justice across the World" via "community outreach and broad global mobilizing." PNW pledges its support for "activist communities" whose goal is "to unite inner-city youth and immigrant and antisweatshop activists" in joint ventures, and to draw attention to how America's prosecution of the Iraq War is allegedly harming immigrant and minority communities all over the United States - by siphoning needed resources away from social welfare programs and into military projects. 

PNW is a member group of the National Immigrant Solidarity Network (a pro-amnesty, pro-open borders organization); the ActionLA Coalition; and the United for Peace and Justice anti-war coalition, which is led by Leslie Cagan, a longtime committed socialist who aligns her politics with those of Fidel Castro's Communist Cuba.

PNW is headquartered at 8124 West 3rd Street in Los Angeles, in a building dubbed the Los Angeles Peace Center (LAPC). Funded by Aris Anagnos, the LAPC provides rent-free office space for dozens of loosely intertwined leftist groups. Anagnos is a Los Angeles real estate magnate who has spent more than three decades bankrolling Marxist causes around the globe -- from the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, to Marxist rebels in Chiapas, to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. In addition to Peace No War, the LAPC is also the home base of Coalition for World Peace, and of the West Coast offices of Americans for Democratic Action, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the National Lawyers Guild.

The PNW website features numerous sections that monitor developments in areas of concern to the organization:

  • The Iraq Watch section focuses heavily on allegations that U.S. soldiers have brutally tortured prisoners at the Abu Ghraib detention facility in Iraq.
  • Military Watch focuses on the costs of the Iraq War, providing regular updates of war-related casualty statistics and of the money spent to finance the war.
  • The Peace Activism section posts updates and notices of major, upcoming anti-war events. 
  • Counter Recruitment Watch highlights initiatives aimed at undermining military recruitment efforts.
  • Nuke Watch focuses on nuclear weapons threats such as that posed by Iran's burgeoning nuclear program.
  • Americas Watch spotlights anti-U.S. rallies in North, Central, and South America - such as a March 2006 National Solidarity Conference in Venezuela, whose participants derided the "pattern of interventionist actions by the U.S. government."
  • Iran Watch is part of an "international campaign to stop the War on Iran before it starts" - a reference to a possible U.S. military strike aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. Endorsers and spokesmen of Iran Watch include Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, Professor Howard Zinn, playwright Harold Pinter, Bishop Filipe C. Teixeira, British Member of Parliament George Galloway, International Action Center founder Ramsey Clark, and others.
  • Palestine Watch calls for an end to Israel's "illegal occupation of Palestine."
  • The Immigrant Solidarity section posts notices of upcoming demonstrations (all over the United States) in support of open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. 
  • Civil Liberties Watch accuses the U.S. government of having violated the civil liberties of Americans, particularly by means of the Patriot Act and the National Security Agency's Terrorist Surveillance program. 
  • Enviro Watch accuses the Bush administration of having done great ecological damage to America's air and water.
  • Globalize Watch is an anti-globalization measure opposing American "corporate greed."

Looking Back 9-11 charges that after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the U.S. was gripped by "anti-Arab American hysteria," "immigrant bashing," "violations of civil liberties," "media censorship," "trashing the environment," and "jacked-up military spending."

This type of organized "protest" and networked organization makes me wonder if Saul Alinsky is back somehow.

Or perhaps a young disciple of his has come into power, or is maybe "channeling his energies" like someone used to do with Eleanor Roosevelt.

I urge you to read Alinsky's books, if you do then lots of "street protest" and "grassroots uprisings" begin to make sense as to where they come from and who's the power behind the paper mache doll heads on sticks.

They only want to perform the Communist Revolution that Americans won't do.

I wonder if they get that they are out protesting to support a system that enables Fox and his merry band of super-wealthy elites to stay in power at the expense of...everyone else.

I hope they have demonstrations in many smaller towns in places where people believe there are few illegals. Show the people that the problem is not in the border states.

"They only want to perform the Communist Revolution that Americans won't do."

Isn't that what this all is really about? We as a nation have ignored communism since the fall of the U.S.S.R. Now, our kids think it's cool and trendy. That's no acccident. There are forces at work here that our government and people are ignoring.

In the Star Wars vernacular, "I have a bad feeling about this".

There is no doubt concerning the actual goals the protesters have in mind.

1) The defeat of America.
2) The return of all lands mexico and mexicans deem as
their land.
3) The removal of those on that land not of mexican birth.

Get ready for a fight, one is on the way.
The goals of the mexicans are front and center, in full view. Our politicians are well on their way to choosing the side of the mexicans over the Americans. Get ready, this is not going to be pretty.

It amazes me that we're in a war in Iraq, we're talking about nuking Iran & wiping out North Korea all in the name of National security when the d@mn illegal Mexican's are already here & are openly talking about taking our states back as part of Mexico and we're sitting around doing nothing. It sound's like our priorities are FUBAR! If the illegal immigrants want a damn war, wipe them out. They're even making it simple, they're standing in the middle of the streets with signs that say we're here, we're illegal viva la raza. It makes me sick!

At first, I felt a little sorry for the immigrants. I wanted them working, legal and at least on record. I thought they were just quietly laboring and raising their children without harming anyone.

I don't feel sorry for them any more. They're Mexican radicals who are clogging our streets and highways. They're demanding they have their own way, and forcing the American people to obey them. Now, I want them all packed up on buses and shipped back to Mexico YESTERDAY!

We have enough liberal wacko radicals bitching about everything in this country already.

That's what Outcome Based Education is (also known as Goals 2000). It's the creation of a socialist society through the minds of the children (Adults would never accept Marxism). That's why the schools have been taken over by liberals - - - and why school choice is so very. very important!

According to Ron Sunser (1990,1996), who was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives, the socialists started after our children as far back as 1952. Their 1970's goals were the following....

A rough equality in general wealth and income would be a necessary condition for equality of political (socialist) power.

Crimes would disappear in a socialist society.

No isolated subjects (taught) in schools, but an integrated viewpoint with the greatest energies placed on talent and creativity. Students will learn how to work and act together, without pressure to learn isolated facts.

The main emphasis will be on learning how to play, how to create, how to be an individual, and how to live and work collectively.

After the socialist revolution, education will have a much broader role. Every community will begin to develop facilities for extensive educational opportunities in all areas of human intellectual life.

These particular statements were made in 1973 by Michael Lerner, a trusted associate of President Clinton and his wife. In the early 1970's Lerner led the Seattle Liberation Front, and ultra left organization described by the Washington State attorney general as "totally indistinguishable from fascism and Nazism" ( Lerner was later indited).
As recently as 1988 the then-governor Bill Clinton wrote a letter to Lerner saying "You have helped me clarify my own thinking."

For more information on the Clintons and the lefts control over the NEA, see Chronology of Educationby Dr. Dennis Cuddy. He records the relationship between the "Lerner-type" Clintons and the NEA's plan to "educate" Americas children.

I have been psuedo-blogging, for years, a couple of the elements in WWIV ( III being the Cold War ), in which we find ourselves engaged.

The first element?

Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Pic, and scroll backwards:

The other, somewhat interlocking element is this one:

"Thunder on the Border," click the picture:

Note, and note well--that the infamous"Mexican Flag Superior, American in Distress" is in the upper left corner...


Take a look, and follow all the links at #1158-1155.



What is happening under the radar is that the alien lobby, certain elements of radical Islam, and some on the Left share common goals, tactics, and exploitations of our system and society.



Not a conspiracy, but rather a "coming together on common points."
