The burning question of the day is why do the ‘protests’ against minutemen, et. al Jim Gilchrist becomeviolent but those against Chris Simcox don’t?  Is there a reason?  Is Gilchrist up to something.  As I have shown repeatedly here and over at The Pink Flamingo, Gilchrist is not the most truthful person in the world.  The truth is not in him.  It is that plain and simple.  He panders to the RINOconservative right, but yet his roots are with the Green Party.  Why?  He believes in redistribution of wealth and a social state.  Why doesn’t he tell this to Hannity and his RINOconservative supporters?  Why won’t they bother looking into document alligations about who he really is?  More on the LA Events.  You will need to read the socialist One People’s Project (I give it credence because the blogger is an reformed Nazi).  Entirely different story from the one Gilchrist tells on Fox.  Is Gilchrist promoting the violence? 

Is Gilchrist lying about MS-13 threatening him as a way to drum up support?  In the previous link from FOX he repeats that MS-13 is involved in violence against the minutemen, et. al.  Why aren’t they stalking Simcox?

“NACO, Ariz. — Members of a violent Central America-based gang have been sent to Arizona to target Minuteman Project volunteers, who will begin a monthlong border vigil this weekend to find and report foreigner sneaking into the United Staes, project officials say.     James Gilchrist, a Vietnam veteran who helped organize the vigil to protest the federal government’s failure to control illegal immigration, said he has been told that California and Texas leaders of Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, have issued orders to teach “a lesson” to the Minuteman volunteers….”

Now read this board posting about Gilchrist and his MS-13 posturing…

“…Dunno, really . . A guy named Jim Gilchrist was apparenty the author of the idea . . and after publication of the idea and the fact that he was the leader, the Mara Salvatrucha Gang (MS-13) declared war on him and his family . . I’m not sure that was all fact, but . . it can be read, actually the whole saga, on “Digger’s Realm” a blogsite. Anyhooo, this brought all the “Militia” types out from under their rocks, and 700-900 of them (estimates vary widely) volunteered to go down there and shoot them “Metsicans” or whoever. Some showed up, I guess. Anyway, of course the Administration didn’t want ‘em down there so Condy condemned the whole Idea, “W” condemned it when he and Fox were at the Trade Conference in Cananda, and Fox cried the whole weekend about it . . The lawmen and the INS were just “Wild” about the Idea! . . so there’s the official end of it. Then a bunch of Protesters, who I call the “Where do they come froms?” showed up and said they were going to “Shadow” the Minutemen” who are supposed to be “Watchers”. My prediction at the time was that a Minuteman would probably “Cap” a “Watcher watcher” before they even got to the “Metsicans” . .

Then . . . I saw the Ch 13 News last night . . .

Gotta revise my predictions . . based on my observations, the first fatality will be either . . A Coronary, snakebite or somebody accidentally shoots themselves . . A bunch of couch potatoes, with folding chairs, and automatic pistols . . . Looked like a five day Street Rodder’s Event on Sunday Afternoon . . with guns . . . And the leader is some Redneck looking guy, wearing a Red,White and Blue Baseball cap . . A real “Patriot” . . dunno what happened to Gilchrist . . . He probably saw his “Army” and went to Canada . . But in this morning’s paper, it said that they had assisted in catching 17 illegals entering the US and one came and turned himself in to them . . Sooooo, that’s 18 down, 11 million and . . . .???? to go….”

Simcox at a panel.  No violence.  Will someone please explain why Chris Simcox goes all over the country and there is no violence, but Gilchrist seems to attract it?  Maybe….well, is he involved in the actual violence to attract attention?  Let’s fact the facts, before the incident at Columbia, he’d been quiet and ignored.  Okay, I’ll say it.  I think he promoted it. 

To be fair and balanced, here is a Malkin post about one of the Gilchrist events that went violent. 

I don’t know about you, but I found Hannity’s hystarical coverage of the little Minuteman, et. al. incident at Columbia University just plain fun.  Jim Gilchrist’s comment on H&C that he was ready to plant a facer on one of the protesters was also just plain fun.  If the cameras were not rolling, Gilchrist, from his past history, would probably be cowering behind some cop.  Let’s face it, the whole thing was tacky, fun, like 50 pink flamingos stuck in my sister’s front yard.  She went into orbit.  Interestingly the socialist bunch who orchestrated the whole brawl are quite proud of it.  My question, who threw the first punch.  The socialist kids say the minutemen, et. al did. 

“…Regardless of how Gilchrist tries to sanitize his message for national audiences, more candid moments tell the real story. Gilchrist is a member of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, which is now notorious for referring to Mexicans as “savages.” Speaking about Mexicans and Central American immigrants, Minuteman co-founder Chris Simcox once said, “They have no problem slitting your throat and taking your money or selling drugs to your kids or raping your daughter and they are evil people.”

This vile racism translates directly into violence on the ground. “It should be legal to kill illegals,” said one Minutemen volunteer. “Just shoot ‘em on sight. That’s my immigration policy recommendation.” It is no wonder that neo-Nazi organizations like the National Alliance praise the Minuteman Project in their publications, and have members signing up for Minutemen militias.…”

No matter how O’Reilly and Hannity try to sugar coat it and ignore the obvious (It’s SPLC, so they don’t count, right?) the above statement issued by the young socialists for socialism is true.

The NY Times report on the incident:

“…Mr. Bollinger, a legal scholar whose specialty is free speech and the First Amendment, quickly condemned this week’s disruption. “Students and faculty have rights to invite speakers to the campus,” he said yesterday in an interview. “Others have rights to hear them. Those who wish to protest have rights to do so. No one, however, shall have the right or the power to use the cover of protest to silence speakers.” He added, “There is a vast difference between reasonable protest that allows a speaker to continue, and protest that makes it impossible for speech to continue.” Monique Dols, a senior in history at Columbia’s School of General Studies, said she had mounted the stage in protest and unfurled a banner but that at such events in the past the speakers had kept going. “We have always been escorted off the stage and the event continues,” she said, adding that this time the protesters were attacked. “We were punched and kicked,” she said. “Unfortunately, the story being circulated is that we initiated the violence.”While college campuses have long been battlegrounds for freedom of speech issues, Columbia seems to attract more attention than most when such problems arise, perhaps because of its location in New York and its history of political protest….”

If you also remember, Gilchrist, Hannity, and O’Reilly were quick to blame Hispanic student protesters.  Well, guess what, they weren’t involved.  Did you also know members of the Young Republican’s Group who sponsored the speech rushed the stage and confronted the Socialist protesters?  According to a NYTimes follow-up article, things may not be as they were explained.

“We don’t condone the actions of members on either side,” Adhemir Romero, president of the Chicano Caucus, told The Spectator. “Either people on stage who were holding up signs, or people who felt that their speaker was being threatened by people holding signs.”

Romero freely admits they were organizing protests outside the auditorium but did not take part in the free for all.   The Harvard Crimson has some fair/balanced reporting on the issue. You  need to read this next piece, from Bwog (what ever that is) to find out what may have happened.  It is buried in all the rhetoric. I don’t know if it is true.  If it is, the little socialists did not start things. 

“…The Minuteman and the students engaged in a tug of war with the banner. More people rush the stage, prompting a fist-fight. One female student is kicked in the head. A guy in a pony tail (definitely not a student) rushes the stage and fights with students (several witnesses saw him kick a student) and then banded together with the Minuteman to shout the pledge of allegiance as the rumble spun out of hand, “One nation! Under God! Indivisible!” …”

Jim Gilchrist was at his most charming (sarcasm here used).  He was not exactly professional, as he later protrayed himself to Hannity and O’Reilly. You also see the real Gilchrist, the Green Party socialist!

“…Finally the Minuteman himself enters. “Now who’re you calling racist?” he shouts, putting his arm around Stewart, who is black. “I love the First Amendment. As soon as you graduate, you’ll all be investment bankers. I’ve been where you at. I know you hate yourselves.”

Importantly, is this a pattern?  Did Gilchrist set the whole thing up for violence?  From Counterpunch, read this terribly biased and liberal article.  Do you see any similiarities?

“…Penny: We go to trial April 25th. The state has shown in a number of hearings that they are serious about jail time for trumped-up charges on protestors acting peacefully and symbolically. And something we’re learning is that people who protest the Minutemen are being attacked across the country: in Vermont, the head of this vigilante group labeled peaceful demonstrators “domestic terrorists” and this got picked up by mainstream media, and in California one of the Minutemen drove a car through a picket line, knocking people down, and nothing was done for over half an hour (and eventually anti-Minutemen protestors were arrested and given felony charges.) So we see our case, and rallying to the defense of the Anti-Minutemen 5 as a crucial way to stand up in opposition to the Minutemen. And on that basis, we’re finding lots of support but we still need to raise upwards of $10,000 in legal fees (address for donations below) and need to have the real deal on the Minutemen much more broadly understood, including our case. We also need letters of support and demands that the charges be dismissed sent to the judge and state’s attorney right away…”

One wonders what it is going to take to prove to the RINOconservatives that the above mentioned neo-nazis, KKK, and white supremicists are indeed deeply involved in the whole anti-immigration movement and are deeply involved within the minutemen, et. al.  The most recent article in ePluribus Media goes over the whole tacky thing, once again.  They link to Orcinus, where he shows the Nazi flag at the minutemen, et. al. rally last year.

“…A Live Journal account gives a quick overview of what occurred:
Save Our State and founder of the Minutman project Jim Gilchrist organized the protest at the Day Labor Center to oppose the hiring of day laborers by city residents two weeks after some members of SOS attended an unofficial rally at the Laguna Beach Arts Festival. There they protested the event’s contribution through rental space sale to city coffers, which in turn pays out $21,000 to the group that operates the Center. That original anti-immigrant protest organizer, known as OCAngel, has publicly disassociated herself from the Minutman Project/S.O.S. after neo-Nazis stood with S.O.S. members threatened her due to her Jewish background….”

The SPLC has linked Gilchrist’s bunch with the whole Nazi thing.  Just because the SPLC can buy most RINOconservative organizations, combined, and just because it is liberal is not an indicator that their reports are not documented.  As linked above, several weeks ago The Subway Canaries did an expose on the SPLC.  Can’t find much of anything dirty.

“…On April 2, as the month-long effort got under way, the Minuteman Project held a protest across the street from the U.S. Border Patrol headquarters in Naco, Ariz. Prominent among the demonstrators were two men who confided that they were members of the Phoenix chapter of the National Alliance — the largest neo-Nazi group in America. One of the two, who sat in lawn chairs throughout, held a sign with arrows depicting invading armies of people from Mexico — a sign identical to National Alliance billboards and pamphlets, except without the Alliance logo.

The presence of Alliance members was not much of a surprise, and there were likely more than that pair. “We’re not going to show up as a group and say, ‘Hi, we’re the National Alliance,” Alliance official Shaun Walker told a reporter in the run-up to the protest. “But we have members … that will participate.”

In fact, National Alliance pamphlets were distributed in Tombstone and this predominantly Hispanic community just two days before the Minuteman Project got going. “Non-Whites are turning America into a Third World slum,” they read. “They come for welfare or to take our jobs. Let’s send them home now.”

Many other white supremacists had promised to attend, including members of the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations, but it was difficult to know if they showed up.

One well-known extremist did appear. Armored in a flak jacket and packing a .38-caliber snub-nosed revolver, Joe McCutchen joined other volunteers patrolling the barbed wire fence separating the United States and Mexico near Bisbee, Ariz.

McCutchen is the recently appointed chairman of Protect Arkansas Now, a group seeking to pass legislation that would deny public benefits to undocumented workers in that state. More to the point, he was identified by the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens as a member in 2001 — a charge he denies, though he admits that he did give a speech that year to the group that has described blacks as “a retrograde species of humanity.” As recently as summer 2003, McCutchen wrote anti-Semitic letters to his hometown newspaper in Fort Smith, Ark....”

The evidence is there.  It is documented.  Hannity, O’Reilly, Gilchrist and Simcox are the ones who are not being open, above-board, up-front…i.e. for some strange reason they are not telling the whole truth, just their edited versions of it. 

The ePluribus Media article mentions Eileen Garcia, who is active with SOS.  Thing is, Ms. Garcia is also active with a few other organizations.  Check out the photos.  She is the blond in the blue T-shirt.  You need to check this article, also.

James Chase, who was one of the original minutemen, et. al. has left the organization.

After all the fun with Randy Graf and David Duke yesterday at the Pink Flamingo, I thought it was time to do an update on the anti-immigration scene in Arizona.  As of noon on Sunday, the Duke link was still up and running, even though Graf has appealed to have it removed. (From AZ Central.com)   It is a tremendous amount of reading.  But, some of the best work on the anti-immigration scene can be found here at the Subway Canaries, over at The Pink Flamingo, and over at The Pondering American.

“…Republican Randy Graf shot back at the Arizona Democratic Party today for trying to link him to notorious White supremacist David Duke.

From the Graf campaign:

The Democratic Party released a press release on September 20, suggesting that Graf “sever his ties” with KKK leader David Duke. Randy Graf does not know Duke, has zero ties to Duke, and abhors David Duke and the things for which he stands. Graf deplores this sleazy attempt by the state Democrats to To associate him with Duke. It appears that the racist and anti-Semitic Duke has placed part of an article from U.S. News & World Report on his web blog, about Randy’s victory in the September 12 Arizona Republican primary and with a link to the article and the Graf campaign website. It would be as absurd to claim that U.S. News has ties to Duke as it is that Randy has ties to him. Graf campaign manager RT Gregg stated: “The Graf for Congress campaign knows of no way to monitor nor does the campaign have the resources to monitor which individuals or groups link their websites to any other websites.”

The Graf campaign also criticized the Arizona Democratic Party for linking to Duke’s Web site, which Gregg says give Duke “attention for his warped cause….”

To fully understand where all this is going and the fact that maybe the whole anti-immigration platform promoted by Tancredo may be on the verge of blowing up in Tancredo’s face, one must understand what is going on with the whole anti-immigration scene in Arizona and the past history.  I must warn you, it is not a pretty one.

Let’s deal with the whole minuteman,et.al. problem now.  There is a tremendous amount of material about it, and none of it covered better than the Pondering American. (Just ignore the football obsession, with the PA from LA.  His archive of research into the financing of the minutemen, et. al. and Chris Simcox can be found here at the Subway Canaries.

The problems seem to have begun several years ago when certain elements in Arizona decided to keep Arizona safe for Arizonans.  They used the model created by Barbara Coe in CA (that basically destroyed the GOP’s electoral chances in the state). (From a previous Subway Canaries expose):  Barbara Coe is the most visible of the tawdry little group who could teach the ladies of Wisteria Lane a thing or two.  She is associated with the Cof CC and is a close, personal friend of Jim Gilchrist.  She doesn’t like Hispanics and once referred to them as savages. ‘Two months later, in a speech to the California Coalition on Immigration Reform, a hate group whose leader, Barbara Coe,routinely refers to Mexicans as “savages,” Simcox offered a dire warning to his audience.‘.  She’s also the chair of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform.  She periodically contributes to Vdare (an extremely racist web-based publication that is rapidly becoming mainstream).

And so, Protect Arizona Now (PAN) was born. 

Randy Graf, as mentioned by the panned AZ Dem press release mentioned above is mentioned in a VDARE piece in 2004. 

“…Jacoby interviewed Randy Graf, Congressional candidate and PAN advocate. Graf is well qualified to speak about the urgency of passing the PAN initiative in November. But, although Jacoby’s interview took place two days before the LA Times printed her column, she quoted nothing of what he told her….”

An Arizona Conservative news release also links Graf to PAN in 2004:

“…Bay Buchanan said, “There is a security threat here, jobs are on the line and there is a cultural aspect here. It is imperative that this initiative pass. We cannot wait for the officials to wake up. They are gone, and we can’t count on them. Reach out to others to join in this cause. It is incumbent on us to become involved. And Randy Graf must be elected … and others like him. He is going up against the establishment and the press.” Graf is a state representative opposing Kolbe in the District 8 Republican primary Sept. 7. …”

To get an accurate background into what started the whole anti-immigration movement, you need to start with this same press release, which puts all the leading characters into their places.  And, once again, we come  up with the same cast:  Tom Tancredo, Pat Buchanan, Bay Buchanan, and their total hatred of George W. Bush.  To understand Tancredo’s hatred, you must go back to his feud with Karl Rove.

“…On Thursday evening, the eyes of America focused on Arizona, ground zero in the border invasion that tears at the fabric of the nation. Lawmakers and immigration experts came to Phoenix to encourage volunteers to do everything possible to succeed in getting the Protect Arizona Now (PAN) initiative qualified for the fall ballot.

PAN aims to require proof of citizenship to register to vote, photo I.D. when voting and proof of eligibility to receive non-federal mandated public benefits. By June 30^th, PAN must submit 122,000 valid signatures to the Arizona Secretary of State’s office in order to get it placed on the official voting ballot for the November election. Recently, the signature tally was over 60,000.

One by one, a high-profile parade of speakers strode to the podium to implore Arizonans to make PAN succeed. The only person absent was PAN director Kathy McKee, who is feuding with fellow initiative leaders and is mistrustful of FAIR.

Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo, the foremost federal lawmaker in fighting the border invasion, flew in to rouse the PAN troops. So did Bay Buchanan, the sister of Pat Buchanan and director of Team America, Los Angeles talk show host Terry Anderson and several members of the Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform (FAIR). Based in Washington, D.C., FAIR is spending $100,000 to pay people to gather the necessary signatures. FAIR sponsored Thursday’s rally.

Tancredo said, “I love Arizona and will come to Arizona at the drop of a hat. The task you have ahead of you is a difficult one. Some good things are happening. You can tell momentum is shifting in this country. Little things are happening.”

The congressman said that President Bush ignited a firestorm of protest in  January when he introduced a Temporary Worker Program.

“That prompted a response I’ve never seen,” Tancredo said, “1,000 calls to my office in four hours, 99.999 percent of which were negative. People were saying, ‘I’ve been a Republican all my life and I’m not going to vote for him (President Bush).’”

Pat Buchanan said last week that the president has abandoned that plan.

However, at a Republican congressional retreat in Philadelphia two weeks after the Bush announcement, Tancredo felt that immigration reform would surely be placed on the agenda.

“It’s the one thing people agree on,” Tancredo said. “People by the throngs say, ‘yes, secure the borders!’ We have two problems to get anything accomplished: the Democratic Party – it’s a source of votes. On the other side we’ve got the Republican Party, which sees a source of cheap labor. These two power brokers are tough to beat. Karl Rove (senior adviser to Bush) and the White House people were at the retreat. At the end of the second day, I went up to speak. There were 30 members in line. Every person who spoke said, ‘this immigration thing … is he (Bush) crazy? Tell him to knock it off!’ …”

PAN was founded by Kathy McKee.  McKee eventually brought Virginia Abernathy in to help with the growing organization.  Then the problems began.  Abernathy has close ties to the KKK and various other white supremacist organizations.   One of the important articles needed to explain who McKee is has been pulled, like many of the other KKK articles.  There is consensus among most that there is an immense problem … Kathy McKee, an anti-immigration activist said about these centers, … Kathy McKee was able to get the support of FAIR, Federation for American Immigration .www.kkk.bz/there_is_consensus_among_most_th.htm – 71k – Cached – Similar pages)  It is too bad, because this wonderful little piece is no longer available for public consumption

“One immigration reform website had this to say: ?It is our hope that the stench of McKee and Abernathy will not waft over those decent and well-meaning citizens who have labored hard and long for the true purpose of Prop 200…That she should engage a known radical ?separatist?, which is synonymous with racist and white supremacist, in any capacity is no surprise to those of us who have known of her narcissistic nature since first contact over a year ago.?The remarks made about Abernathy and McKee are inexcusable and are symptomatic of the problem with so many in the different umbrellas of the ?conservative? movement. They want a clean white Christian nation (even if they don?t admit it) but they want to keep their reputation also. ..SHAME!”

From the Jewish News of Greater Phoenix…”The Center for New Community, an anti-bigotry group based in Chicago, has criticized Abernethy for her leadership roles in other extremist efforts, such as the Occidental Quarterly, a publication that declares that immigration into the United States should be limited to “selected people of European ancestry.” Pan’sointment of Abernathy, the center says, should make us all question the group’s real motives.

In her defense of Abernethy, PAN founder and chairwoman Kathy McKee jumped on the Center for New Community, questioning its legitimacy and comparing it to The Southern Poverty Law Center, which she branded “a hate group.” The SP LCcourse, devotes itself to promoting tolerance and counteracting hate. McKee, like Abernethy, has an agenda so far to the right as to be off the page.

In related news, even farther off the page, the ADL last month confirmed that a self-admitted neo-Nazi is leading a push to recruit armed volunteers for a new “Arizona Guard” militia to patrol the Arizona/Mexico border from a compound near Douglas. ADL Regional Director Bill Straus said the news validates the ADL’s warnings that “extreme anti-immigrant groups … have historically attracted white supremacist and other extremist support.”

Even some of PAN’s legislative supporters, such as state Rep. Russell Pearce, (R-Mesa), are distancing themselves from PAN now that Abernathy is in the picture. Pearce told the Tribune through an assistant that he no longer works with Protect Arizona Now. But he still supports the initiative. Let’s hope the rest of us know better…”

“Virginia Abernathy “Last year, Virginia Abernethy, a professor emeritus at Vanderbilt’s medical school and leader of the Tanton-influenced Population-Environment Balance, became the latest in the Tanton network to join the Citizens Informer editorial board.
“My view of the Council of Conservative Citizens,” she told the Intelligence Report, “is that they support traditional values and the freedom of people to associate with people that they want to associate with.” She spoke on the same day that the CCC’s website carried a comparison of black pop singer Michael Jackson and an ape a comparison that Abernethy suggested may have reflected “bad taste,” but not racism. “What is the point of a society that pushes [racial] mixing?” she asked when told of another CCC web item that derided the wife of murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl as a “mixed race” woman who is “committed to racial and ethnic amalgamation.” “Our society pushes mixing,” the retired Vanderbilt professor added. “I think this is probably not a good thing for the society.”  The Cafe Press“

A much publicized KlanKat fight basically destroyed PAN and alienated their ’sugar daddy’ Randy Childress.  From Arizona IndyMedia.

 “…PAN Treasurer Rusty Childress, owner of Childress Auto Mall in Phoenix, agrees that we need to protect the United States from immigrants because “we need to be careful that we don’t become the third world country that a lot of these illegal aliens are running from.” (Horizonte, KAET TV, Dec. 18, 2003)…”

 But, not to worry, Childress turned his attention from PAN to that absolutely idiot Michelle Dallacroce and her equally hystarical Mother’s Against Illegal Immigration.  The SPLC has already put her in one ot its reports.

“…Well, I’m protesting you,” the anarchist called back. “If anybody gave you an order to torture an Iraqi, you know you’d follow it like a good little fascist.” Back at the Minuteman mini-rally, Mothers Against Illegal Immigration founder Michelle Dallacroce warned of Mexicans taking over America by “outbreeding our mothers.” Gilchrist’s towering, pony-tailed bodyguard shoved a news photographer who got too close. Meanwhile, a group of high-school boys in business suits with National Young Leaders Conference name tags made their way over to the neo-Nazis, where they stood next to Bill White and sieg-heiled while their giggling girlfriends snapped souvenir photos….”  

Spencer now runs the American Patrol Report.  Spencer is such a great humanist, you are going to want to check his page on “Mexican Family Values“.

This lead to the arrival of Glenn Spencer.  I like to use the Aztlan article against him.  (Just desserts).  Spencer was working with Coe in CA.  Then things got a little too hot for him, so he packed up and moved to Sierra Vista in Cochise County, same county as Chris Simcox, only Simcox went to Tombstone.  (FYI – I’m not even getting into the whole Simcox thing in this epxose.  I’ve provided enough links up by the Pondereing American). 

“…Glenn Spencer’s history of anti-Mexican bigotry began in Los Angeles when he founded, along with a group of Jews, an organization called Voices of Citizen’s Together (VCT) approximately 5 years ago. Many of the members of VCT were Jews who were also members of the now defunct Jewish Defense League (JDL). Glenn Spencer himself bragged that he was a card carrying member of the JDL on his website and that his two daughters were married to Jews. One of Glenn Spencer’s staunchest supporters in Los Angeles is the notorious Mexican hating Jew Hal Netkin. Soon after Irv Rubin of the JDL was arrested for terrorism and assassinated in federal prison, Glenn Spencer ceased to brag about his membership in the JDL.

When things got hot for Spencer in Los Angeles he, like the Tombstone Vigilante Chris Simcox, headed for the Arizona desert to join up with the infamous Arizona rancher Roger Barnett and his posse of white anti-immigrant bigots. Roger Barnett for a while was featured in the US national media for advocating the organized “hunting” of “illegal Mexicans” that crossed the Mexico/Arizona border. Barnett boasted to the media that he had arrested thousands of “illegal Mexicans” and was often featured in photographs porting an M-16 assault rifle with a hunting scope.

Glenn Spencer and Roger Barnett teamed up and in the year 2000 they organized an anti-Mexican conference in Sierra Vista, Arizona. They issued a flyer inviting militias, white supremacist groups and the KKK to come to Arizona for “some fun in the sun”. The meaning was clear! They were inviting white violent bigots to come to Arizona to have fun “hunting for Mexicans”. The conference took place at the Windemere Hotel in Sierra Vista, Arizona on Saturday May 13, 2000. Among some of the proposals discussed at the conference was “the placement of military style land mines along the desert pathways used by Mexican undocumented workers”. Soon after the conference, numerous bodies of murdered Mexican migrant workers turned up in desolate areas of the Arizona desert.

The arrest of Glenn Spencer on Saturday is no surprise to those who are monitoring his increasingly bizarre behavior. Spencer, like the Tombstone vigilante Chris Simcox, has been exhibiting classic paranoiac schizophrenic symptoms recently. Just 5 days before his shooting rampage in Sierra Vista, Spencer wrote and published in his website a strange personal letter title “WHITE FIGHT OR FLIGHT” in which he warns, “white Americans, should get out of California — now, before it is too late to salvage the equity they have in their homes and the value of their businesses.” The reason Spencer gives for the warning is that the Mexicans have taken over California. It is very clear now why Spencer left the Los Angeles area to live in Sierra Vista, Arizona. In his letter he expresses the belief that he is a “white exile” forced to leave the Golden State. …”

The SPLC did an excellent expose on Spencer.

“…Spencer got involved in the anti-immigration movement in 1992, when he formed Voice of Citizens Together, also known as American Patrol, in California. In 2002, saying the battle was lost in that state, he moved to the “front lines” of the Arizona border, where he formed American Border Patrol. He was one of the first to call for border citizens’ patrols and pioneered the use of surveillance technology.

He also was one of the first well-known anti-immigration activists to more or less openly court white supremacists and anti-Semites. He has attended conferences of American Renaissance magazine, which specializes in racist theories about blacks and others. He interviewed the magazine’s editor, Jared Taylor, on his syndicated radio show. Another guest was California State Professor Kevin MacDonald, who is the architect of an elaborate anti-Semitic theory dressed up as evolutionary biology.

Just this September, Spencer promoted on his Web site a booklet published by Taylor called The Color of Crime. The booklet is a “relentlessly factual” study that alleges that blacks and Hispanics are far more likely than whites to be criminals. It also falsely alleges people of color commit vastly more hate crimes than others… “

The ADL says immigration groups in AZ have some interesting ties.

“…While Spencer tries to downplay his extremist message by claiming that he is not a racist, racist and anti-government extremist groups across the country have embraced his rhetoric; indeed, Spencer has personally appeared at events sponsored by white supremacists and racists. ..”

Ironically, I don’t think it is a coincidence that many of these organizations are headquartered or center in and around Cochise County, home of Tombstone and the ghosts of the Cowboys.  Maybe the frontier ideal attracts individualists.  There is a very definate alure in Tombstone, which is one of my very favorite places.  The anti-bunch is having a huge rally there in a couple of weeks. 

You deal with it.

This is more a best of Subway Canaries.  I’ve been working my way around some of this stuff for months now.  Let’s just face the nasty facts and deal with it.

It all started with the Pioneer Fund.

And, doesn’t this Pioneer Fund bio of  Harry Hamilton Laughlin sound wonderful? “…life-long scientist. Laughlin served as long-time director of the Eugenics Record Office at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, New York, funded by the Carnegie Institute of Washington. Among his duties was the editing of the Eugenical News, which reported on scientific research and eugenic issues from around the world.  Born in Oskaloosa, Iowa, in 1880, the son of a minister and academic, Laughlin grew up in Kirksville, Missouri. He first taught school for ten years before developing an interest in agriculture and plant and animal breeding. In 1910 Laughlin moved to Cold Spring Harbor. In 1917 he received a Doctorate of Science from Princeton for his work in genetics. During the 1920s and 1930s Laughlin served as an advisor to several Congressional Committees. He retired in 1941 and died in 1943.”

Well, they leave out a few things….” ….In the spirit of Dr. Josef Goebbels, he (Draper) and his close associate at The Pioneer Fund, Dr. Harry H. Laughlin, actually created and then championed the “involuntary sterilization movement in America” the so-called “Buck vs. Bell” Supreme Court case which was favorably reviewed by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. It led directly to the involuntary sterilization of over 75,000 human beings between 1924 and 1972 in the approximately 24 states which passed similar laws at the behest and encouragement of The Pioneer Fund. Sound familiar? But the first major achievement of his work and that of Herr Laughlin, was when Hitler and Goebbels invited Laughlin to receive an honorary degree for his work in passing “The Model Eugenics Laws in America”. Hitler used the Draper-inspired American Eugenics Model to pass the law which will go down in infamy as the Nuremberg Laws: “On the Prevention of Hereditarily Ill Progeny” – the so-called Holocaust Laws.”

From the SPLC’s expose on the Pioneer Fund:  “…With an original charter to pursue “race betterment” for those “deemed to be descended predominantly from white persons who settled in the original thirteen states prior to the adoption of the Constitution,” the Pioneer Fund was founded in 1937 in New York.

Many involved in the early years of the fund, including its first president Harry H. Laughlin, maintained “contacts with many of the Nazi scientists whose work provided the conceptual template for Hitler’s aspiration toward ‘racial hygiene’ in Germany,” according to an Albany Law Review article by Paul Lombardo. In The Funding of Scientific Racism, scholar William Tucker reveals how Pioneer board members and grantees sought to block the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

In recent decades, the Pioneer Fund has funded most American and British race scientists, including a large number cited in The Bell Curve. According to Barry Mehler, the leading academic critic of the fund, these race scientists have included Hans Eysenck, Robert A. Gordon, Linda Gottfredson, Seymour Itzkoff, Arthur Jensen, Michael Levin, Richard Lynn, R. Travis Osborne, Roger Pearson, J. Philippe Rushton, William Shockley and Daniel R. Vining Jr.

Last year, Rushton became the fourth president of the fund. He disavows the terms “inferior” and “superior” but, as psychologist Andrew S. Winston points out, Rushton has produced a chart in which blacks “are said to have, on average, smaller brains, lower intelligence, lower cultural achievements, higher aggressiveness, lower law-abidingness, lower marital stability and less sexual restraint than whites, and the differences are attributed partially to heredity.”

Pioneer grantees have also included white supremacist Jared Taylor. According to Hold Your Tongue, a book by education expert James Crawford, the Pioneer Fund also “aided the Institute for Western Values — the same group Cordelia May [Scaife, sister of Richard Mellon Scaife] paid to distribute [the racist book] The Camp of the Saints — in publishing the autobiography of Thomas Dixon,” whose racist novels helped spark the Klan’s rebirth in 1915.

Pioneer also has given grants to the American Immigration Control Foundation*, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, Roger Pearson’s Institute for the Study of Man, Jared Taylor’s New Century Foundation* and Project USA, an anti-immigration group run by a FAIR board member.”

Several years ago, the SPLC pegged the Pioneer Fund as a leading supporter and ‘parent’ of the anti-immigration movement.  Be aware it isn’t just anti-illegal – but anti-immigration. This is March, 2003.

“A few sectors of the radical right seemed to thrive. In particular, the world of academic racists — those who promote racial theories of intelligence and a return to the discredited “science” of eugenics, or “race betterment” — is doing well.

Doesn’t matter where you go, you’ll find John Tanton.

There is more, much more.  Tanton is associated with the Pioneer Fund.  This NYTimes 1977 expose on the founders of the Pioneer Fund should say it all and many any decent person change their opinion of the US HOUSE version of anti-immigration.  It should also damn Tom Tancredo and a few more of his ilk.

“Draper’s fascist-inspired vitriolic hatred of Communism and anything liberal led to his support of McCarthyism and the activities of HUAC, the House Un-American Activities Committee for over a decade. In the spirit of Dr. Josef Goebbels, he and his close associate at The Pioneer Fund, Dr. Harry H. Laughlin, actually created and then championed the “involuntary sterilization movement in America” the so-called “Buck vs. Bell” Supreme Court case which was favorably reviewed by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. It led directly to the involuntary sterilization of over 75,000 human beings between 1924 and 1972 in the approximately 24 states which passed similar laws at the behest and encouragement of The Pioneer Fund. Sound familiar? But the first major achievement of his work and that of Herr Laughlin, was when Hitler and Goebbels invited Laughlin to receive an honorary degree for his work in passing “The Model Eugenics Laws in America”. Hitler used the Draper-inspired American Eugenics Model to pass the law which will go down in infamy as the Nuremberg Laws: “On the Prevention of Hereditarily Ill Progeny” – the so-called Holocaust Laws…. The last time that Immigration laws were severely tightened was the 1924 Immigration Act which was accomplished, in my opinion, in direct anticipa- tion of the coming unrest in Europe during the 1930’s and 1940’s. These laws kept may legitimate refugees, all targeted for elimination by the Third Reich, from ever reaching a safe haven in the United States. The precisely identical intentions are at work today with this renewed emphasis on “Proposition 187″, which is intended to become “The Model Anti-Immigration Legislation in America” and for the rest of the world. ….the intention of the sponsors of “Proposition 187″ is to prevent those refugees targeted for “ethnic extinction” from ever reaching a safe haven in American or anywhere else in the free world for that matter. This is a very real and serious concern and every American who recognizes the true intentions of Proposition 187 should oppose it with their last breath and their last ounce of strength before it is too late.”

And a little more on Prop 187 and the laws Tanton helped pass, “Almost 30 states and many more local communities passed “English Only” statutes enshrining English as the language of official business. In 1994, after extensive campaigning by Tanton-supported groups, millions of Californians joined in passing Proposition 187, which denied social services to undocumented workers.Two years later, Tanton celebrated the passage of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, a law meant to cut illegal immigration that was heavily backed by anti-immigration groups. It required that asylum seekers be held in detention until they established a credible fear of persecution at home, a process that could take years.”

Martin Mallard is exposed in this piece by Humberto Caspa for the Orange County Organizer.  He also writes for the Neo Nazi newspaper for the American Nationalist Union.  They have links to the American Journal, which actually has an excellent links page.  It has everything but the kitchen sink.

“Most people have adjusted well to the new demographic changes in Costa Mesa, but not everybody is happy.  A radical anti-immigrant group led by Martin H. Millard, a featured writer on a white supremacist website known as New Nation News (3), has used the anti-immigrant rhetoric to influence elected officials. In his writings, Millard has compared Latinos with cockroaches, (4) and has also laid out a plan to gain access to institutions of power. And from there make radical changes (5).Millard is the tip of the iceberg of the immigration crisis in Costa Mesa. Despite proven evidence of his rage against minority groups, a majority in the City Council allowed Millard a seat in the Redevelopment and Residential Rehabilitation committee (6). This committee makes recommendations to government officials on the distribution of funds to charities in town.  Millard also served the West Revitalization Oversight Committee.“

The New Nation News claims to be a paper for ‘whites’.  Check out their anti-Hispanic material.

And thank you New Nation News.  I’ve been trying to link Daneen G. Peterson with this whole unsavory bunch.  New Nation News had a link to one of her many anti-Catholic rants.  And there is a link to Repressing White Americans – or why the government is promoting Hispanic immigration.  Several weeks ago I finally found a link between Peterson and our favorite unsavory friends.  You will want to scroll down to the end of my post to find the link to the American Nationalist Party.  And the ADL report.

I’ve been telling you the ‘conservatives’ are having problems.  The New Nation is part of the Ring of Conservative sites.  There is also a link to the Constitution Party.  Don’t you get it?  There is a second page of links, that get down to the Nazi nitty-gritty.

And, you may as well be exposed to “Christian Identity” which has nothing to do with the teachings of Christ.  And you may as well expose yourself to their links.  They are distasteful, but ignorance is not bliss.  It is simply ignorance.

Stormfront is deeply invested in the CofCC.  And the CofCC links to the American Nationalist Union.  There, you see a call to slam Chris Cannon with email, etc.  Yep, the Nazis don’t like Chris Cannon.  Well, that does it for me.  I’d vote for him.  They also link to TT!  But then, why not?  He’s their darling.

If you want my opinion, I would put the Memphis based, Political Cesspool” in this bunch.  Oh, they also linke to Impeach Bush.  Roaches can’t stand GWB. The Political Cesspool has a links page that is like a who’s who of unsavory characters and organizations, with a few decent ones threw in for good measure. 

Okay, the Aryan Nation World Headquarters – they claim to be Christian.

The American National Conference links directly to the CofCC among others. On their Save the White Race page they sing the praises of Patrick J. Buchanan.

VERY IMPORTANT:  The Yuma Patriots are one of the few anti-illegal organizations who appear to be ‘clean’ of nasty little connections.

Chuck Currie’s blog exposes the Nazi links to Gilchrist and to the Minuetmen.

The SPLC has also exposed the Nazi links. 

 ”Neo-Nazis volunteered for Jim Gilchrist’s recent congressional campaign and distributed racist propaganda at Gilchrist rallies with the full knowledge of the Minuteman Project co-founder and his campaign managers, according to a former Gilchrist campaign volunteer whose account is supported by photographs, video footage and postings on the white supremacist Web site Stormfront.

“They were basically allowing Skinheads and white nationalists to work the phone banks and do IT [computer work] and distribute National Alliance fliers targeting non-whites,” Cliff May, a dance instructor in Orange County, Calif., told the Intelligence Report. “When I told Mary [Gilchrist's finance manager] and Eldon [Gilchrist's grassroots coordinator] that I didn’t want to work for a campaign that was tainted by white supremacy in any way, they told me not to cause a stir.

“When I kept bringing it up, they kicked me out.”

Photographs taken at an Oct. 29 Gilchrist rally in Sacramento show a man outfitted like a Nazi Skinhead distributing propaganda from the neo-Nazi National Alliance. “I talked with Gilchrist about it and he said they’d decided to, in his words, ‘let it go,’” May said. Three weeks later, May says he spotted two neo-Nazis among a crowd of Gilchrist campaign volunteers at a City Council meeting in Lake Forest, Calif. May recognized the young man and woman from photographs of neo-Nazis giving seig-heil salutes in front of swastika banners at an anti-immigration protest in Laguna Beach four months earlier, in July. May said he videotaped the neo-Nazis at the November meeting in Lake Forest and immediately afterward played the footage on a big screen television at Gilchrist’s campaign headquarters.”

“Elsewhere, at least a few neo-Nazis continued to openly support Minuteman events like “Stop the Invasion,” when 44 rallies were held in 20 states on Jan. 7. The local organizer for the Stop the Invasion rally in Austin, Texas, was identified on a nationally distributed contact sheet as “SSTexas88″ (88 is neo-Nazi shorthand for “HH,” or “Heil Hitler”), the same Web handle used by a self-described “24-year-old white power skinbyrd [a female Skinhead] from Austin, Texas” on various neo-Nazi Web sites. A woman who identified herself only as “Jenny” led the sparsely attended rally in front of the Texas Capitol wearing a shirt bearing the emblem of Hammerskin Nation, a violent neo-Nazi Skinhead syndicate.” 

And in Feb, in DC, at a rally where both Gilchrist and TT were featured speakers, the Washington Post reports, “The fervor subsided only when two men dressed in brown and wearing swastikas goose-stepped toward the Minutemen and gave a Nazi salute. The men, straight out of “The Producers,” handed out fliers encouraging the Minutemen to “end your alliance with the Republicans!!!” — and join the American Nazi Party. Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist called for an intermission “to resolve this situation.”

And Stormfront is working to infiltrate the GOP.  “We can change the course of the republican party. You don’t need to say “We need to help white people.” Today you don’t even hear “We need to help black people” from any politician today. It’s “we need to help Americans.” Duke would have been better off starting a Political Action Committee for whites or abetting the Council for Conservative Citizens. There’s a group with potential, they have had top name republican leaders make speeches. All you need to do is ask one question of them, “What will you do to help White Americans, your base of support?”

You will also want to check out Fire Dog Lake and their Gilchrist/Nazi/Minuteman expose. “But Gilchrist has larger ambitions.  He just ran and lost an independent bid for Congress in the 48th district in California to replace Representative Chris Cox.  And though he didn’t run on the Republican Party line, he did offer to caucus with the GOP, Tom Tancredo endorsed him, and his supporters certainly were Republican stalwarts.  I followed the race through the Powder Blue blog, which covers immigration and Orange County Republican politics.  Though bucking the party this once, the blogger at Powder Blue is a staunch Republican activist who started blogging because his neighbor Hugh Hewitt gave him enouragement.  In other words, Gilchrist is well within the mainstream of the Republican Party and the right-wing blogosphere.  100 tribes with 100 languages, and neighbors killing one another.  Mainstream alright.”

And over at Orcinus there is a masterful expose of the whole minuteman thingie.

James Chase over at the Border Watch or what ever it is, exposed the Nazi ties to the Minutemen over a year ago.   In my mind there’s not much difference between the Nazi bunch and the new KKK.  Is there a link between the KKK and Tancredo?  Check out this Pink Flamingo post done just last week.

I surfed to this via Tancredo Watch.  It is incredibly disturbing.  If it is true – it confirms everything I’ve been saying – and thinking.  It comes from the Klan Politician Watch. – where the following comment is made…”…Society members (pass-code protected). It was given to me by a former high ranking Klansman who has denounced his membership in America’s first terrorist organization….” Fascinatingly, the blog only has this one post.  The ownership of the blog is designated as a ‘deputy sheriff’ and male.  The posting is so strange, deal with it yourself.  I don’t like what I see and it points to information I have been uncovering.  I cannot prove any of it – and don’t want to accuse anyone of anything, especially Haley Burbur, who has renounced all association with the CofCC.

“…The secret website information also reveals other elite KKK and John Birch Society members in the US government.
These are politicians we support around the nation that we know will save us from the jew, black and brown plague infestation and their lawlessness; Senator George Allen VA, Senator Pete Sessions AL, State Senator Dina Titus NV, Congressman Tom Tancredo CO, Governor Hally Barbour MS, Congresswoman Kathrine Harris FL, James Inhofe OK….”

And this comes from Tancredo Watch.

“…(They apparently know what they’re talking about, judging from George Allen’s recent “Macaca”/”Welcome to America” slur.)Vanguard News Network (“No Jews. Just Right”) includes commentary about how Tancredo should be president.
American Renaissance mentioned that Tancredo won a straw poll somewhere, drawing lots of comments from people excited about someone who would finally save the white race.

“I’m surprised that anyone but Tancredo is getting any votes from white nationalists,” declares a contributor to Stormfront (“White Pride Worldwide”).

The American Thule Society gives Tancredo positive press…”
