Now, we hear it from the Presidente of Mexico and from the numerous Mexican activist organizations tottally opposed to closed borders, requirement that English be taught and spoken in the US, etc. I was right and we are in for a lot of grief over this. Mel Young ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Mexican Reconquista: Leader Says California Will Be First 'Hispanic' State Stephan Archer Wednesday, June 7, 2000 "I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that Mexican migrants are an important - a very important - part of this." This statement wasn't made in secrecy behind closed doors. It wasn't said outside the jurisdiction of the United States of America. None other than Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo spoke it in Chicago on July 23, 1997. Speaking before the National Council of La Raza, Zedillo went on to say, "For this reason, my government proposed a constitutional amendment to allow any Mexican with the right and the desire to acquire another nationality to do so without being forced to first give up his or her Mexican nationality." This amendment is significant for more than just the obvious reason. It is nearly impossible to obtain Mexican citizenship unless you can prove you are Mexican or are of Mexican descent. If you are neither, you must prove that you have completely adopted Mexican culture and lifestyle. Yet a Mexican citizen can, in essence, acquire another nationality and remain a Mexican. Is this a double standard? Glenn Spencer, president of Voice of Citizens Together and radio talk show host of American Patrol Report, thinks so. But he thinks there's something more sinister to the Mexican president's decree than one might think. "This is an invasion of the United States in a very classic way with all of the classic objectives of an invasion without using bullets," Spencer said. Spencer added he believed Mexico is allowing this so that those people with dual citizenship may vote in the interest of Mexico in the United States. The ultimate goal of this invasion, Spencer contends, is to reclaim the American Southwest - an area including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas. Known as Aztlan by Hispanic activists, these states make up what used to be Mexican territory before treaties and wars gave the land to the United States. Some Hispanic activists deny that there is any sort of organized effort to take over these states and reclaim it for Mexico. However, Jose Pescador Osuna, who was once the Mexican consul general in Los Angeles, has been quoted on the record as saying, "Even though I'm saying this part serious and part joking, I believe we are practicing 'La Reconquista' in California." "La Reconquista" means "the reconquest" and refers to the taking over of the U.S. Southwest. Osuna now is an agent of the Mexican government and works for migration in Mexico City. Even though these statements have been made on American soil, Mario Obledo of the California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations said the "radical" Aztlan movement died in the 1960s. Obledo, a resident of Sacramento, Calif., explained that his organization tries to secure the civil rights of Mexican-Americans "and others similarly situated." Although claiming a profound faith in America, he's also proud of the fact that the majority of Californians in the next few years will be Hispanic. "California is going to be a Hispanic state," Obledo said. "Anyone who doesn 't like it should leave." Obledo further added: "Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years. It's a fact of life. That's all. All of those propositions - 187, 209, and whatever - is a backlash due to the insecurities of the majority population. That's all. But all those measures are going to be reversed one of these days." Proposition 187 was the California initiative supported by a majority of Californians that denied taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens. Proposition 209 was another initiative supported by a majority of Californians that banned affirmative action, that is, prohibited preferential treatment in the work place and public schools and universities. Speaking at a Latino gathering in response to Proposition 187's passage in 1995, Art Torres, the chairman of the California Democratic Party, said: "Power is not given to you. You have to take it. Remember, 187 is the last gasp of white America in California." But if Mexico is to reclaim the U.S. Southwest, how will it be done? Spencer believes that with the increasing unrest along the U.S.-Mexican border, the U.S. Border Patrol will eventually become overwhelmed, requiring the U.S. Army to take action. With increasing unrest and military presence all along the border, the current border will be erased and a new border zone stretching 150 miles from the current border into the United States will be put in place. Although this may sound impossible, President Clinton has already issued an executive order that could put such a border zone in place. Executive Order 13122, signed by the president May 25, 1999, established an Interagency Task Force on the Economic Development of the Southwest Border. The purpose of the task force is to "coordinate and better leverage existing Administration efforts for the Southwest Border, in concert with locally led efforts to increase the living standards and the overall economic profile of the Southwest Border so that it may achieve the average of the Nation." Down toward the bottom of the executive order, it adds, "The Southwest Border or Southwest Border region is defined as including the areas up to 150 miles north of the United States-Mexican border in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and California." Spencer believes this inclusion in the executive order is little more than a mechanism of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) to erase the border by creating a border "zone" instead of a border line. "It's an attempt to gradually erase the border," Spencer said. Spencer has been speaking about his scenario of an "Aztlan invasion" on the radio for some time now, and it has drawn considerable attention, including death threats. Referring to a banner he saw at California State University, Northridge that read "Aztlan Graduation," Spencer concluded: "This is an invasion of the United States. I believe it's going to end up in a war, and I believe it's going to be so much worse because Clinton has sold us down the river."

During a seven-day period in February, over 12,000 of you expressed your opposition to the creation of a "uniform health identifier" to the Department of Health and Human Services. We must now express the same opposition to the U.S. House. Why? Because even after receiving so many comments, either by design or by accident, language that would have prohibited the establishment of a "uniform health identifier" was left out of the Labor-HHS appropriations bill (where it belongs). That restrictive language must now be added to that bill if the establishment of a "uniform health identifier" is to be stopped. As early as this afternoon, but no later than tomorrow morning, Congressman Ron Paul will introduce an amendment to the Labor-HHS appropriations bill to remind Congress of your objections and redress the omission. Congressman Paul, who is a practicing physician, stated in a letter released today, "As an OB/GYN with more than 30 years experience in private practice, I know better than most the importance of preserving the sanctity of the physician-patient relationship. Oftentimes, effective treatment depends on a patient's ability to place absolute trust in his or her doctor. What happens to that trust when patients know any and all information given to their doctor will be placed in a data base accessible by anyone who knows the patient's 'unique personal identifier?'" Please urge your U.S. representative today to support the PAUL AMENDMENT TO LABOR-HHS APPROPRIATIONS. You can write to your representative by going to http://www.libertystudy.org and clicking on Communicate at the top of the page. There's also a phone directory available in case you want to call instead. **This morning, we faxed a one-page appeal for support of the Paul amendment to each of the 435 U.S. House members. To read what we sent, please go to http://www.libertystudy.org/060700First. 2. A bill (H.R. 8 - The Death Tax Elimination Act) to repeal the death tax will be voted on by the U.S. House Thursday or Friday. This bill has very good support with 244 House cosponsors. However, the Washington Post, in its lead editorial this morning, called for the bill's defeat. Some members of Congress will try to defeat the bill at the last minute. President Clinton has already said he would veto the bill if passed. This bill, therefore, will need a two-thirds majority to become law. A husband and wife works a lifetime to provide for their family and build a small business or family farm with the hope of passing it on to their children; but it only takes the federal bureaucracy a few minutes to take 55% of that family business upon the death of those Americans who believed in the American Dream.

Well, after the report that Human Rights Watch released Thursday (June 8), we will no longer be able to use ignorance to shield u= s from the reality of the racial injustice being perpetrated every day in America in the name of the drug war -- completely ignored by national political leaders and barely acknowledged by the media. The report, ``Punishment and Prejudice: Racial Disparities in the War on Drugs,'' features a groundbreaking state-by-state analysis of the role ra= ce and drugs play in prison admissions. When 10 states -- including Illinois= , Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio and West Virginia -- send black men to prison = on drug charges at a rate 27 to 57 times higher than white men, how can we continue to boast about our ``equal protection under the law'' when it's = so obviously not true for so many people? The cookie-cutter excuse is that t= he unequal sentencing reflects an unequal use of drugs. Well, that excuse ha= s also expired -- in fact, five times as many whites use drugs as blacks, y= et 62 percent of drug offenders sent to state prisons nationwide are black. = In certain states, that number climbs to an almost unbelievable 90 percent. = So much for equal protection. But the depth of this tragedy cannot be adequately communicated through statistics -- no matter how outrageous. It can only be conveyed through t= he personal stories of what this injustice has wrought not only on the nonviolent offenders but on their families and especially their children. Groups like Families Against Mandatory Minimums, Family Watch and the November Coalition perform a great public service by putting flesh and bl= ood on the statistics. ``Dear judge, I need my mom. Would you help my mom,'' reads a note writte= n in the 9-year-old scrawl of Phillip Gaines, just before his mother was sentenced to nearly 20 years after associates of her crack-dealing former boyfriend testified against her in exchange for lighter sentences. ``My birthday's comeing up in October the 25 and I need my mom to be here on t= he 25 and for the rest of my life. I will cut your grass and wash your car everyday just don't send my mom off. Please please please don't!=A1'' Phi= llip is only one of an estimated 1.5 million children who currently have a par= ent in jail. Sharvone McKinnon is another African-American mother whose boyfriend -- i= n her case, an abusive crack dealer who threatened to kill her if she left him -- helped land her in jail. She's also a particularly chilling case study of the madness our drug laws have led to: a nonviolent, first-time offender sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole fo= r conspiracy to distribute cocaine -- even though the government concedes s= he played only a tangential role and never actually used or sold drugs. But such are our draconian drug laws that even the least-culpable member of a ``conspiracy'' can be saddled with the most egregious acts of all the oth= er conspirators. So based on the testimony of three of her 31 co-defendants that she was present at a single ``organizational meeting'' of her boyfriend's drug ring -- testimony that earned the trio serious sentence reductions -- this 34-year-old mother, a gainfully employed school-bus driver at the time of her arrest, will now spend the rest of her life in prison (at a cost to taxpayers of approximately $21,000 per year). I don'= t know about you, but I feel a whole lot safer. ``One of the problems of our justice system,'' a U.S. District Court judg= e told me, ``is that the government is settling for very small fish that ar= e easy to catch and easy to punish. The big ones aren't being pursued.'' Indeed, the inequality of the legal representation available to most poor defendants makes further mockery of the promise of equal justice for all. The silence of both major parties and their nominees on this widespread injustice is the starkest example of the bankruptcy of the two-party syst= em. Even the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has endorsed Al Gore and will be campaigning for him, is not pulling his punches. ``On this matter,'' he t= old me, ``we have one party with two names, or two parties with one assumptio= n. The assumption is that these lives can be thrown away. The change we seek can only come outside the two parties. In the same way that it took a movement to bring about the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, i= t's going to take a movement to put an end to this tragic undermining of hard-fought civil rights victories.'' The Human Rights Watch report makes it impossible for our leaders to clai= m they didn't know. Now it's up to us to demand some answers and an end to = the inhumanity. - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jun 00 00:23:23 PST From: roc@xpresso.seaslug.org (Bill Vance) Subject: Fw: Rosie vs. Reality: What every woman must know (from JPFO) (fwd) On Jun 9, The McGehee Zone wrote: [-------------------- text of forwarded message follows --------------------] - ----- Original Message ----- From: "kort" To: "Intertel Top1 list" ; "Oregon Mensa email list" Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2000 11:35 AM Subject: fwd: Rosie vs. Reality: What every woman must know (from JPFO) - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ALERT FROM JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP America's Aggressive Civil Rights Organization Date: June 7, 2000 Rosie vs. Reality: What Every Woman Must Know By Richard W. Stevens Suppose a Hollywood star or a political figure publicly announced that he or she favored making all women and families helpless and defenseless against vicious thugs. Would women cheer and vow their undying support for that person? Yet if you believe the published polls and the media news showmen, then it's true: women actually want to be defenseless. Many women don't want to be able to protect themselves or their families from crazies, druggies, violent ex-boyfriends, rapists, home invaders and stalkers. What's more, these women want to prevent other women from protecting themselves, too. When some women say they want more "gun control," they are actually saying they want to make it harder for peace-loving women to obtain personal and home defense tools. All current and proposed "gun laws" work to discourage firearm ownership. Except for the shall-issue concealed carry rules in some states, none of the "gun laws" does anything to help an endangered woman obtain a firearm and learn how best to use it for self-defense. Facts About Self-Defense For the woman who values the safety of herself and her family, a firearm can be literally a lifesaver. Here are the facts: Americans use firearms to protect themselves over 5,000 times per day -- that's over 3 defensive uses every minute. Over 500 women use firearms to defend themselves against sexual assault or abuse each day -- that's one woman protected every 3 minutes. In over 92% of defensive gun use cases, the victim brandished the firearm arm or fired a warning shot only -- no wounding or killing was involved. Research has shown it is safer to defend against violent attack using a firearm than to resist with other means such as wielding knives, hitting back, or running away. National Safety Council data for 1995 show the number of accidental deaths involving firearms misuse are far less than those resulting from accidents involving falls, poison, drowning and fires. This is especially true for children age 14 and under. Regional and national studies confirm that criminals avoid targets (men, women, homes, buildings) where the potential victims might be armed. Bottom line: Armed citizens are safer. Facts About Government-ordered Protection What can the anti-self defense lobby and the government offer to protect women? Let's check the options: Options Dangerous realities Dial 911 / call police (1) Police have no legal duty to respond and prevent crime or protect the victim (2) 95% of the time police arrive too late to prevent a crime or arrest the suspect Cell phone 911 (1) In over 90% of U.S., technology does not give dispatcher the location of caller (who might be lost or unable to explain) (2) Worthless if phone or cell don't function at the time Restraining/Protective Orders (1) 75% of orders are violated (2) Police often won't enforce unless they witness the violation (3) An order is a piece of paper ... "Gun control" laws Disarm victims, have no effect on criminals. User-restricted firearms (1) Mandatory trigger locks slow down the defender only, not the attacker. (2) Electronic restriction chip can fail / battery can die. Tell Women The Truth Don't ask women whether they favor more "gun control" laws. Ask them instead: "do you favor laws that prevent women from protecting themselves and their families from violent criminals?" Women need to understand that the real issue is self-defense. Every three minutes there is a woman defending herself with a sidearm. Violence against women is immoral, illegal and intolerable. That's why it's wrong to disarm women and leave them defenseless against predators.

In the Clinton-era version of the Pentagon Papers case, cyberstud Matt Drudge has obtained a draft manuscript of Connolly's book on the sex lives of Clinton's critics. Miramax has evidently been funding Connolly's flights around the country, his stays at fancy hotels, and his hiring of at least one private investigator -- all to investigate the sex lives of various random individuals whose only common trait is that we probably didn't vote for Clinton. On the basis of the excerpts about me, I'd just like to say I'm looking forward to owning Miramax if it ever publishes any of this. Among other things, Connolly accuses me of having trysts with "playboy" Geraldo Rivera at his "oceanfront retreat in New Jersey." ("Oh Geraldo," I moaned, "there is no protective function privilege!") But the thing is, Geraldo is not like Clinton. From what I've heard of Geraldo's printed oeuvre, he brags about what Clinton lies about. Connolly inexplicably fails to account for the absence of published reports about my sexual tryst with Geraldo within 48 hours of its occurrence. (The sad truth is, my affair with Geraldo at his "oceanfront retreat" was compromised by the presence of my brother, Mrs. Rivera and several other guests.) Everyone in Connolly's book who is not accused of having an affair with Geraldo is said to be gay, from Ken Starr to Justice Kennedy, Starr's staffers, various of the elves, and random Republicans having nothing to do with impeachment. (Who would have guessed that my association with Geraldo would end up saving my reputation?) In the Clintonian world, if no one's accused you of rape lately, you must be gay. Connolly's theory apparently is that Starr hired several of Kennedy's clerks, and what the hell would a prosecutor want with a bunch of former Supreme Court clerks -- unless (!) there was some sick sexual game afoot ... QED. Indeed, sex is Connolly's theory for all human interactions. After going on in unseemly detail about what in delicate society would be called my "figure," Connolly segues to my sexual tryst with Geraldo by stating "this fact has not been lost on TV personality and all-around playboy Geraldo Rivera." So basically anyone who has ever been alone with my breasts is either having sex with me or is gay. Starr hires Kennedy's clerks because they're gay. (I wonder what Connolly thinks Clinton got Buddy for?) You have to say, Clinton has given the right wing a reputation for having extremely active sex lives. First Henry Hyde then Newt Gingrich, and now it turns out the rest of us are all gay (or are having an affair with Geraldo Rivera). On the basis of Connolly's book, conservatives should claim to represent the gay movement and start issuing a whole new set of demands. The current position of Talk/Miramax Books is that this manuscript is a purloined draft of Connolly's book, not in final form. (Talk/Miramax is also threatening to sue the masterful Drudge -- but see the Pentagon Papers.) I'm afraid, however, that once they take out the libel and laughably false stories, Connolly doesn't have enough left over even for a short pamphlet -- and a pamphlet written by an illiterate moron at that. In his typically incomprehensible prose, Connolly calls me a "self-appointed political analyst." Do they give "political analyst" degrees somewhere I'm unaware of? Even within the construct of his own lunatic fantasies, Connolly can't get his story straight. In one paragraph, he claims that I, along with Linda Tripp lawyer Jim Moody, wildly made duplicate copies of her tapes one night while having cocktails (and presumably sex with Geraldo Rivera). But then in the very next paragraph he describes how Moody later had to retrieve a tape from Starr's prosecutors (evidently on a break from their incessant sodomic practices) to play it for a Newsweek reporter. I hate to break the flow right when I'm enjoying such a rich and exciting social life, but if we had this cache of duplicate Tripp tapes, then why did Moody need to get a tape back from Starr's office? (And perhaps more urgently: Why didn't I air-drop those duplicate tapes across America immediately -- as I can assure you I would have.) Connolly may be the only man in America who doesn't know what really happened that night, which has been faithfully reported in, among other places, the Starr report, Michael Isikoff's book and various newspapers and magazines. Michel Montaigne said, "He who has not a good memory should never take upon him the trade of lying." Connolly can't even remember what he wrote in the last sentence. You know -- the part just after I was moaning something about the inviolability of immunity agreements. ©2000 Universal Press, Inc.

It's all about priorities and what you want to leave your children and grandchildren. It does indeed take time to learn what's happening and it does take time to contact lawmakers. And, it takes time to educate other Americans. Where are your priorities? Jim Hardin From: GeJoSc@aol.com Subject: The "I don't have enough time" Syndrome "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." ~~ Edmund Burke Please do your part (whatever you determine that is)! Text below is slightly altered from an article at http://www.KeepAndBearArms.com ~geo "I don't have enough time" Syndrome by Angel Shamaya Director, KeepAndBearArms.com We've all used the statement "I don't have enough time" at one time or another. Some people use it as a mantra--a regularly repeated statement which magically aides Avoidance. Let's address the reality of the issue from a few different perspectives and see if we can yield some new and different thinking. At issue is not whether or not we will reclaim America; the question is how quickly we can do it. Because the "I don't have enough time" phenomenon seems to be such a convenient out for so many gun owners, somebody needs to say something. Might as well be me, and might as well be now. First, let's nail down some facts. Each of us has 24 hours in each day. If you know how I can get more, please let me know. Each of us has things we "have to" do. They include family obligations, eating, sleeping, bathing, and earning a living. Each of us has choices on a menu of how to invest our extra time. (Notice I didn't say "spend"; when you spend something, it is gone. Investing time produces a yield, just like when you invest money.) Each of us has priorities on how we choose to invest our precious extra time. These are the facts. Irrefutable, non-negotiable, unarguable. What really comes to bear on the "I don't have enough time" excuse, then, is a set of priorities. We each prioritize differently, and we each make our own choices about what comes first on our menu of options. It is true that more people--Defenders of Liberty--are needed to win back our America. Tens of thousands of us are working regularly, most of us daily, to stop the assault on our rights. And we require assistance--help from freedom-loving citizens in our mutually-beneficial cause. So how could we prioritize a bit more time to assure our own and future generations can live in a free America? What menu options could we shift around a bit in our busy lives to find some extra time to pitch in for the cause of freedom? How can we help, and do more? Let me tell you some of the places where I DO NOT WASTE TIME. 1) Television comes on when I want to check the spin the news-whores are putting on my rights. I don't waste one second, ever, watching some dimwit sitcom void of any redeeming social or moral value. It has been rumored that the average American sits in front of a television set 4 hours a day. What they are putting into their minds that is more important than America is beyond me. Our priorities are just different. If I thought I could contribute to the restoration of the American Republic by listening to a bunch of socialists and communists speak to me through their daily broadcasts of mental clutter, I would bow to the altar of the TV Gods and pay homage to the morons on TV. 2) It has been suggested that some people sit at their computers for hours playing games. While there are most certainly some games that increase mental acuity and physical mastery, many of them are merely for entertainment value. How endless hours of entertainment are more important than American Freedom is puzzling. Ponderous. If I thought that devoting my time to mastering electronic games would rescue America, I would be striving for a National Championship at the Nintendo finals. 3) Reading is something I do a great deal of, every day. 98% of what I read is online, and I limit what I read to things that will forward our Mission or further my knowledge of something that will forward our Mission. The exception comes regarding humor. I do make sure to access a few BRIEF things that make me laugh. I do this because I find laughter most useful in my bid to stay balanced so I can get more work done. I no longer read fiction unless it is related in some way to the emancipation of America, and then only sparingly. Reading a "romance novel" (or whatever marketing title now given to stories of phony lives of make-believe people) has no place in my life. How people can value reading someone else's fantasies as more worthy than investing time liberating our country is beyond me. I prioritize one second helping to save my nation over all mental masturbation. If I believed reading "love" stories would make the communists in America stop harming my brothers and sisters with their misguided, treasonous laws, I would read each new novel that came out and build web sites to promote the same. 4) Watching sports is something I might remember to do at a Super Bowl or a World Series, but I usually forget. There are people who just read that line and reduced their respect for me by half. They believe that sports are the ultimate thing to get "into", that the quarterback of the day is God II, and that knowing every sports score and statistic since before they were born is an attribute that will get them into the Pearly Gates. How they can believe sports are of greater import than stopping the legistraitors who are making the work of rapists and murderers easier is beyond me; we just have different priorities. I prioritize the liberty of US citizens above the latest touchdown, homerun, or 3 pt. shot at the buzzer. If I thought watching guys pat each others' butts on national television while they beat the snot out of each other to carry a ball back and forth across a field would save my country, I would watch faithfully, every day, memorize every stat I could find, and probably join a few clubs devoted to promoting sports. 5) I am aware of other things our citizens prize above the safety and future viability of the United States of America. Chit chat for hours over the latest gossip about so-and-so, banter back and forth through email about this or that, scouring the web for the latest blah blah blah, reading up on Idol #79843, study of the latest gadget to help make yada-yada easier, etc. etc., ad nauseum. If I thought any of these things would help save this country from the tyrants who are deeply, personally committed to developing America into a Police State, I assure you; I would be sucking them all up like the vast majority of Americans seem to be doing. But these time investments are only serving to further engulf America into an abyss from which the only return is civil war. If we who work for Freedom had to do this all by ourselves, we would. But we will succeed much faster when the members of the Sleeping Class wake up and pitch in. The big question is: how can we let people know it's time to divert some time away from their "important" activities and get them to help us save this country?
