...recently-disclosed U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) practice of tipping off the Mexican military to the location of Minutemen volunteers.

Unlike Senator Patrick Leahy, I'm beginning to hate the federal government.

About a year ago during a senate interrogation of a judicial nominee Leahy stated that he was surprised that the guy in the hotseat had written that he was unhappy with the federales.

It was then the Cheshire Cat said "I love my government."

I want to know the legal basis for CBP informing a foreign government of the activities of private citizens who are obeying the law."

And that is the million dollar question.

I have mounted spirited defenses of the administration against the wild and baseless charges of liberals over the NSA surveillance issue. But if this current story is true, then the Bush administration has ordered and carried out spying on American citizens who are not committing any crimes, and supplying an invasion-bent foreign government with intelligence on the activities of those American citizens.

If true, the Bush administration has become an enemy of the American people and of the several States. IF TRUE.

IF TRUE.

Heads need to roll over this, of course they won't. They will probably all get awards like they did after Waco and Ruby Ridge.

After 9/11 and the brave people on Flight 93, many people felt that passengers would never sit back and not try to stop a potential disaster. Sure enough that was the case on the AA flight that had Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, on board. In that case, Reid was wrestled to the floor by the passengers and firmly tied up with anything the passengers could get their hands on and no Federal Air Marshall was on board to help as I recall. Reid was fortunate he was not beaten to within an inch of his life. There were some injuries to a flight attendant and others but they got the job done. They prevented a disaster.

I look upon the Minutemen in the same way--they are doing the job that the American government will not do, is unable to do, cannot do or all of the above. I believe the government is actively working against the Minutemen because the government, by its refusal to protect and defend our borders from foreign invaders, has gotten itself into a bind.

Washington does not intend to tolerate a bunch of ordinary folks, working off a shoe string budget and an abundance of patriotism, that are able to help defend our country. Why that smacks of self reliance and common sense and you know those bureaucrats do not like those words! Why the next thing you know folks out here in 'flyover' country or on the coast will be asking the Feds to follow the Constitution! Wouldn't that get the politicians knickers in a knot!

The commissioner of CBP is Deborah J. Spero. Prior to assuming leadership of the Office of Strategic Trade, Ms. Spero served for five years as Customs’ Assistant Commissioner for Human Resources Management, where she was responsible for a centralized human resources service center of 250 employees that supported 19,000 Customs employees throughout the United States and overseas. In 1999, Ms. Spero received the Distinguished Presidential Rank Award for her sustained extraordinary accomplishments within the Customs Service and the federal community. In 1996 she was the recipient of the Meritorious Executive Presidential Rank Award for her major accomplishments as an executive in the corporate SES. Ms. Spero graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature.

She does not list an email or phone number but her Office of Public Affairs official is Kristi Clemens (202) 344-1770. Lets give her a call shall we?

".....The Border Patrol has documented more than two hundred incursions into the U.S by the Mexican military, and Texas sheriffs even apprehended Mexican government vehicles that were used to ferry drug runners across the border......"

It's no coincidence that their fearless leader Vicente recently moved to legalize drugs in that degenerate country of his. Wonder what his cut of the stash is? And his percentage of depraved travel agents enticing US citizens over the border to take drug vacations? GWB stopped it....for now.

Sierra Times* The Internationalists Speak and the Communists Jump

Al Benson Jr.

Most patriotic folks (at least the well-informed ones) have heard of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), often called America's "Shadow government." Books have been written about them over the years that have been duly noted in patriotic circles but unfortunately not in many other places. The first one, I believe, was one by former FBI agent Dan Smoot back sometime in the 1960s called "The Invisible Government." Smoot and others since claimed, and quite correctly, that just about every administration, Republican or Democrat has, over the past several decades, been staffed with hacks from the CFR. This group permeates all areas of society, the media, education, the military, Congress, etc. They are foremost among those seeking to make the United States part of a one-world government. (You might, at this point, wonder how treason is defined.)

Anyway, this august organization, so bound to eliminate all vestiges of our national sovereignty, has issued a 59 page report entitled "Building a North American Community." Sounds all warm and fuzzy doesn't it--all bosom buddies in this wonderful, cozy, socialist continental village with no borders, where immigrants are free to go anywhere they want to with no restrictions whatever. According to "World Net Daily": "This CFR document asserts that President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin 'committed their governments' to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005...It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American Summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet 'vigilantes' on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona."

The same article mentioned that several of these radical Leftist illegal immigration groups have been funded by the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations. Are you surprised?

Years ago, back in the Viet Nam era, I read a book by one James Simon Kunen, called "The Strawberry Statement: Notes of a College Revolutionary." That work came to mind as I read the World Net Daily article. Kunen was part of the collegiate revolutionary Left in the late 1960s and early 70s. He mentioned in his book how people from the Business International Roundtables were in the process of "buying up radicals." He noted how these people wanted Eugene McCarthy in as president. He observed that these people felt that if the Leftist radicals really acted up that would only make McCarthy look more reasonable and hence advance his chances for election. Kunen described these people as "the left wing of the ruling class." And he noted: "We were also offered Esso (Rockefeller) money. They want us to make a lot of radical commotion so they can look more in the center as they move to the left." So the 60s Leftists got Rockefeller money and now the illegal immigrant groups who wish to sever the Southwest from the rest of the country are getting Rockefeller funding also. Something smells and it's not Swiss cheese!

And then, lo and behold, the Communist Party in this country has gotten into the act. They are promoting an "Immigrants Right Action Packet" in which they urge their comrades and other fellow travelers to work for the defeat of HR 4437. This is the bill that would penalize those who knowingly help illegals as well as the illegals themselves.

The Party is also pushing something called the "2006 Immigrant Rights Club Education Guide." This is put out by their "education" commission. In part it states: "This educational has the goal of upgrading our understanding of the struggle for immigrant rights and against repressive immigration legislation which is taking place right now throughout the country...The club should invite guests to participate in this educational discussion of the immigrant rights struggle and immediately distribute the educational guide with the attached reading materials to all who will be involved."

What this really amounts to is that the Communist Party USA is doing its part to promote the concepts and groups that the Rockefeller Foundation is also funding. The Reds howl about injustice being perpetrated by big corporations in this country, but they are, in reality, doing the bidding of some of those corporations, just at a little lower level. You might say that the Communists have become the "running dogs" of international coroprate fascism.

If the radical Leftists in the 1960s and 70s got Rockefeller money and now these Left-wing illegal immigrant groups are getting the same, what does that tell you about where the supposed "big business" types really are? Kunen was probably right when he labeled them as "the left wing of the ruling class." But the Reds do their bidding (and hope you don't notice) and the funding to keep them going comes from the tax-free foundations. Interesting little set-up--pressure from above (Rockefeller money) and pressure from below (the radicals) and the American people caught in the middle and squeezed.

Our Government has too many agencies which arrogantly operate as Governments unto themselves. The Minutemen need to organize and become a National Party. A CONSERVATIVE Party. And, when they win in significant numbers, the need to clean house.

“The Minutemen haven’t been accused of breaking the law. Quite the contrary—they have gone out of their way to aid law enforcement and ensure the safety of our border. The U.S. government has no grounds upon which to stifle the Minutemen’s constitutional right to organize,” Tancredo concluded. “I want to know the legal basis for CBP informing a foreign government of the activities of private citizens who are obeying the law.”

Sorry if you've already been pinged!

Finally Bush gets tough on the border. Unfortunately it's not what we would have liked.

Received another RNC fund raising letter today.

--They don't seem to understand my repetitive comments "No $ until the border is enforced." It seems one Latino vote tomorrow is worth one current Republican vote today.

I'm with Tancredo here. Not only do we not have enough officers on the borders, but they are under orders to thwart the Minutemen.

Some of us have been harangued and chastised for saying "negative" things like "This isn't the USA we grew up in". Well, I guess some of us were just a lot quicker to notice the changes than others. For me, the recent events prove that the NWO conspiratorialists were right all along.

A couple of years ago I wrote my Congressman upon learning of the arrest of Chris Simcox. This was before the Minutemen project and there were screams of "Racists!" "Bigots!" "Xenophobes!" everywhere for just raising the issue of ILLEGAL immigration.

I feared a Waco-style attacked on the growing number of American citizens trying to do something about ILLEGAL immigration and going to the border.

From what I had learned Mr. Simcox was being trailed and watched by border patrol personnel just waiting, waiting for the opportunity when Mr. Simcox stepped onto any federal property where he could be arrested for carrying his legal firearm.

I asked my Congressman to please watch the doings in Washington and attempt to stop any aggressive moves against more citizens.

Well, I guess the next "Waco" won't be the BATF / FBI HRT against citizens -- it could be the Mexican army doing Washington's dirty work. Who'd a thunk.

This is true: I have long thought that Washington will permit the Mexican army to enter the U.S. should federal employees ask for help on the border -- possibly even to establish "safe" zones for Mexican citizens.

Call me single issue.. please!

The notification process, described as a standard procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed.
What rights do they have? They're breaking the law for God's sake!!!!
