What I am concerned about is how many people (like me), have repeatedly defended the MM as patriots (which I still believe most are), if their 'leader' is a con artist.

No judgements yet, but I find this deeply disturbing.

LEt me say even though I disagree with the Minutemen I do not say all are frauds, But there has been problems with leading lights of this movement for some time. I am going to do a round up on my blog later. A few days ago, I intended to Travel to Jackson Mississppit ot confront Simcox about this at a public speaking engagement he was having in Jackson Mississippi. I was was unable ot go at the last minute. However this has been in the works for some time.

SOme of the very radical and sort of racist elements of this movement met and sort of spilled the beans on all of this at the Council of Conservative National convention in Indiana last month
This guy comments on it today result

As you can tell in this link the Council of Conservative Citizens was relieved that they were never "formally associated" with this group because of what they said was apparent Criminal activity.

In a sort of blog dialouge I had with this extremeise he responded to my point 7. THis is me paraphrasing
(7)Perhaps the CoCC is mad because they are not getting a cut
CoCC is say that their board of directors will never been sent to prision for wire fraud or other like crimes , and I think making an allusion the the current Minuteman and other leadership

Good gosh please tell us what you know about that. I suspect a lot and you have some well grounded reasons why you think it. May I suggest calling the Federal Attorney with what you know. But he is right. I was being a smart ass there. I have met some of the CoCC folks in Mississippi. They are true believers and monetary gain is not their goal. I recant that they have a profit motive even though it just makes me more scared of you in reality

This is his response to me that I am paraphrasing on his original page( alittle bit half way down)
http://countenance.wordpress.com/2006/06/25/little-ole-blog/

The Council of Conservative Citizens and but they are smart.

Further there has been much more of a money making scam to this and will spread.

As much as would like to slam the whole movement over this I can't lol. In reality the Minuteman are not one organized bunch. THere has been too many splinter groups. The problem is that the politicians have been embracing the wrong folks of this movement on tv

So, this might just end up being a few but it is not the whole movement. But it will involve the leading lights of it in my view
