LA VOZ DE AZTLÁN (THE VOICE OF AZTLÁN) Radical Open Borders and secessionist organization
Discover the Networks ^ | Staff

Posted on 04/28/2010 11:48:16 AM PDT by Mozilla

La Voz de Aztlán (The Voice of Aztlán) is the Internet publication, or webzine, of the Nation of Aztlán, a secessionist organization based in Whittier, California. The organization's chief objective is the formation of a country named Aztlán, which would be composed of present-day Mexico, parts of Oklahoma, and the entirety of Texas, New Mexico, California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada. According to La Voz, "Aztlán" was the name of the Aztec homeland that supposedly existed in Mexico and the Southwestern United States prior to the Spanish conquest of 1519. The group now seeks to recapture this territory that it claims was "stolen" by white America.

La Voz, which launched its operations on January 1, 2000, is managed and edited by Hector Carreon, a former member of the radical Brown Berets and now the leader of the Nation of Aztlán. La Voz has earned a reputation for its hatred of whites, Jews, the United States, and Israel. Its articles commonly make reference to "La Raza" ("The Race"), a broad term signifying those whose ancestry is indigenous to the area of "Aztlán" and therefore worthy of respect, unlike whites in general, and Jews in particular.

La Voz has ties with MECha, the radical student group that supports open borders, amnesty for illegal aliens, and U.S. recognition of Spanish as an official national language. La Voz believes that the United States ("the white industrial and agricultural complex [that] is addicted to cheap immigrant labor") has racist reasons for opposing Mexican immigration. La Voz asserts that the economies of Southwestern states "would collapse if immigrants would stop working for one week."

"Eventually," says La Voz, "La Raza will overcome all these injustices. At that time we may be able to built [sic] our own 'Monument to the Mexican Immigrant' as was done [with the Statue of Liberty] in New York Harbor for the Europeans. Perhaps a huge Aztec Pyramid with a statue on the top would be in order. The monument could be built in Los Angeles which has the greatest number of Mexicans next to Mexico City."

La Voz takes a particularly dim view of the U.S. criminal-justice system. "Police officers," it says, "operate like military occupation forces in minority communities. Those who actually control the police appear to have hired 'occupation administrators' as the Nazis did with the 'Judenrat' in Germany." La Voz further condemns "the wretched and unequal treatment that historically has been meted out against the Mexican-American soldier, marine, airman and sailor…. The USA military has pillaged and raped the American Indians and the Mexicans in the [S]outhwest in the same way they are now doing to the Iraqis. Even today, naive Latinas who join the U.S. Armed Forces are being brutalized and raped by racist Jews and white military personnel."

After Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in August 2005, La Voz ran a series of articles supporting Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan's assertion that the catastrophic flooding of certain black neighborhoods was the result of a white plot to eliminate black people.

In addition to its anti-American hatred, another hallmark of La Voz is deep-seated anti-Semitism. A December 29, 2003 opinion piece noted the "synchronicity" surrounding the February 1, 2003 explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia, where "7 astronauts, one a Zionist Israeli, came raining down over the town of Palestine in Texas, the home state of President George Bush." The article added: "God has cursed the Jews from time immemorial and they have been the curse of mankind since the beginning of written history."

La Voz sees “great similarities between the political and economic condition of the Palestinians in occupied Palestine and that of La Raza in the Southwest United States. … The primary one of course is the fact that both La Raza and the Palestinians have been displaced by invaders that have utilized military means to conquer and occupy our territories."

The La Voz website features a petition, addressed to President George W. Bush, demanding an end to U.S. aid for Israel. The website also contains a lengthy tribute to eight female Palestinian suicide bombers who killed many innocent Jewish civilians, describing them as "freedom fighters" who "made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom and independence of the Palestinian people." Moreover, La Voz has referred to the late Yasser Arafat as an "extraordinary courageous leader."

La Voz is intolerant of Latinos who hold views that conflict with its own. One such individual is Linda Chavez, President George W. Bush's original nominee for Secretary of Labor and an outspoken opponent of bilingual education and racial and ethnic preferences for minorities whom it called, an "extraordinary malinchista" (traitor) and a "coconut" (brown on the outside, white on the inside) similar to "the brutish Jewish female Kapos at Auschwitz who received special favors for sleeping with their Nazi masters." La Voz accused Chavez of wanting "to relegate Latinos as working slaves for corporate America and the large agricultural and industrial conglomerates and at the same time … maintain the economic privileges of whites." The publication compared her to black "'Uncle Toms' like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas" and "House Niggers" like former UC Regent Ward Connerly (a black opponent of affirmative action).

Immediately after September 11, 2001, La Voz said nothing about the terrorist attacks but rather condemned the "round'em up" and "string'em up" mentality with which Americans and their political leaders were allegedly reacting. Moreover, the publication blamed the U.S. itself for having provoked the attacks, in large measure through its close alliance with Israel.

La Voz impugns Americans' allegedly "racist attitudes against the Arab peoples." "The Arabs and Muslims have been demonized [through] years of mental programming through biased education and media propaganda," says La Voz. "This kind of [anti-Arab] mentality is the same as when us Mexicans are called 'spics,' 'beaners,' and 'wetbacks' and Black Americans are called 'niggers,' 'koons,' or 'mayates.'" The publication fiurther denounces the "perverse racists," "religious bigots with a well defined political and economic agenda," "Anglocentric xenophobes," "right wing Fundamentalist Christians," and "International Zionists" who "have launched a well funded global campaign to destroy the legacy of Islam and its contributions to world culture. … Leading the effort to demonize Islam are, of course, the International Zionists."

In light of the Immigration debate heating up again with the passage of the Arizona law and Obama's Amnesty waiting in the wings, here is some information on a radical left wing open borders group.

Here is some more from there site: The Plan of Aztlan- EL PLAN DE AZTLAN

El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan

In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny.

We are free and sovereign to determine those tasks which are justly called for by our house, our land, the sweat of our brows, and by our hearts. Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. We do not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent

Brotherhood unites us, and love for our brothers makes us a people whose time has come and who struggles against the foreigner gabachowho exploits our riches and destroys our culture. With our heart in our hands and our hands in the soil, we declare the independence of our mestizo nation. We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan.

Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.

Program El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan sets the theme that La Raza must use their nationalism as the key or common denominator for mass mobilization and organization. Once we are committed to the idea and philosophy of El Plan de Aztlan, we can only conclude that social, economic, cultural, and political independence is the only road to total liberation from oppression, exploitation, and racism. Our struggle then must be for the control of our barrios, campos, pueblos, lands, our economy, our culture, and our political life. El Plan commits all levels of Chicano society - the barrio, the campo, the ranchero, the writer, the teacher, the worker, the professional - to La Causa

Nationalism

Nationalism as the key to organization transcends all religious, political, class, and economic factions or boundaries. Nationalism is the common denominator that all members of La Raza can agree upon.

Organizational Goals

1. UNITY in the thinking of our people concerning the barrios, the pueblo, the campo, the land, the poor, the middle class, the professional-all committed to the liberation of La Raza.

2. ECONOMY: economic control of our lives and our communities can only come about by driving the exploiter out of our communities, our pueblos, and our lands and by controlling and developing our own talents, sweat, and resources. Cultural background and values which ignore materialism and embrace humanism will contribute to the act of cooperative buying and the distribution of resources and production to sustain an economic base for healthy growth and development Lands rightfully ours will be fought for and defended. Land and realty ownership will be acquired by the community for the people's welfare. Economic ties of responsibility must be secured by nationalism and the Chicano defense units.

3. EDUCATION must be relative to our people, i.e., history, culture, bilingual education, contributions, etc. Community control of our schools, our teachers, our administrators, our counselors, and our programs.

4. INSTITUTIONS shall serve our people by providing the service necessary for a full life and their welfare on the basis of restitution, not handouts or beggar's crumbs. Restitution for past economic slavery, political exploitation, ethnic and cultural psychological destruction and denial of civil and human rights. Institutions in our community which do not serve the people have no place in the community. The institutions belong to the people.

5. SELF-DEFENSE of the community must rely on the combined strength of the people. The front line defense will come from the barrios, the camp os, the pueblos, and the ranchitos. Their involvement as protectors of their people will be given respect and dignity. They in turn offer their responsibility and their lives for their people. Those who place themselves in the front ranks for their people do so out of love and carnalismo. Those institutions which are fattened by our brothers to provide employment and political pork barrels for the gringo will do so only as acts of liberation and for La Causa. For the very young there will no longer be acts of juvenile delinquency, but revolutionary acts.

6. CULTURAL values of our people strengthen our identity and the moral backbone of the movement. Our culture unites and educates the family of La Raza towards liberation with one heart and one mind. We must insure that our writers, poets, musicians, and artists produce literature and art that is appealing to our people and relates to our revolutionary culture. Our cultural values of life, family, and home will serve as a powerful weapon to defeat the gringo dollar value system and encourage the process of love and brotherhood.

7. POLITICAL LIBERATION can only come through independent action on our part, since the two-party system is the same animal with two heads that feed from the same trough. Where we are a majority, we will control; where we are a minority, we will represent a pressure group; nationally, we will represent one party: La Familia de La Raza!

Action

1. Awareness and distribution of El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan. Presented at every meeting, demonstration, confrontation, courthouse, institution, administration, church, school, tree, building, car, and every place of human existence.

2. September 16, on the birthdate of Mexican Independence, a national walk-out by all Chicanos of all colleges and schools to be sustained until the complete revision of the educational system: its policy makers, administration, its curriculum, and its personnel to meet the needs of our community.

3. Self-Defense against the occupying forces of the oppressors at every school, every available man, woman, and child.

4. Community nationalization and organization of all Chicanos: El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan.

5. Economic program to drive the exploiter out of our community and a welding together of our people's combined resources to control their own production through cooperative effort.

6. Creation of an independent local, regional, and national political party. A nation autonomous and free - culturally, socially, economically, and politically- will make its own decisions on the usage of our lands, the taxation of our goods, the utilization of our bodies for war, the determination of justice (reward and punishment), and the profit of our sweat.

Well...Texas has talked about seceding. I don’t think this is what they had in mind though.

It is all fakery by some Che wannabees.

Spanish language - the language of the Conquistador.

An image of an M-16 - the invention of Yanquis.

A map of lost territories of the Spanish Crown and the Republic of Mexico - both invaders who got their asses kicked by the authentic indigenous peoples.

Aztlan is as authentic and sincere as Kwanzaa, Reid’s integrity, Pelosi’s face and Obama’s citizenship.

Well there should be some evidence of this great AZTLAN civilization in Arizona, New Mexico, California and Texas. But outside of some Hopi cave dwellings and a European mission in the middle of San Antonio is now, there isn’t any.
Maybe they mean Atlantis?

There were a number of very interesting civilizations in the area, occupied, conquered or lost by a variety of peoples.

This is just a crock. I attribute it to Carrion’s dropping acid back in school, while contemplating a black velvet painting of an Aztec maiden sacrifice.

I noticed they are so proud of their historical heritage the speak the language of the Conquistadores.

If they want to speak their language, let them speak Aztec.

Otherwise, they are just asserting the language of those who really conquered them.

Who, by the way, looted their treasures, etc., etc., etc.

Are they going to cut the hearts out of their losing ball teams?

Let’s just say they did take all that land back.

Why wouldn’t it be just as screwed up as everything they have now? Who would pay for all of the freebees?

If anything I would think they would want us to take over all of Latin America.
