Those 25 Chechen terrorists who just entered the US from Mexico were not the only such instance. From The Australian, with thanks to Ali Dashti:
INTELLIGENCE reports that 25 Chechen terrorism suspects have illegally entered the US from Mexico have refocused attention on a porous border from which many believe the next major attack on Americans could come.Despite the $US9 billion ($12.326 billion) budget, and assurances from President George W. Bush that border security is tighter than it has ever been, public figures of all political stripes in the border states say the danger of al-Qa'ida infiltrating the US from Mexico has never been higher.
The Washington Times newspaper reported that a source told US intelligence officers the Chechens, seen carrying backpacks, were shepherded from northern Mexico in July through a remote mountainous region of Arizona that is notoriously difficult to patrol.
It is not known if this intelligence was behind the warning issued by the US Education Department for American schools to be vigilant after Chechen militants took over a school in Beslan, North Ossetia, last month, a tragedy that cost at least 344 lives, half of them children.
The Chechen report has angered those who have been warning for months that US borders are insecure.
"In the name of national security we must do something about our wide-open southern border," said Arizona Republican congressional candidate Stan Barnes. "We are now in a war mentality. The first duty of a country in a war situation is to protect its borders."
Experts say it is not difficult for terrorists to blend into a vast sea of an estimated 13million illegal aliens, most of them impoverished Mexicans seeking work.
To make matters worse, the Department of Homeland Security is so hopelessly overstretched that it has taken to releasing what it calls OTMs (Other Than Mexicans) because it cannot house them until it arranges for deportation hearings.
"If they're deemed not dangerous, they're given a notice to appear in court, and the border patrol agents even have to drive them to a bus station and watch these people get on buses for New Jersey or California," said Cathy Travis, a senior aide to veteran Texas congressman Henry Ortiz.
Fewer than 30 per cent of the OTMs released into the US actually show up for their hearings, meaning an estimated 400,000 illegal aliens are currently in the US after being caught and released.
It seems to me that both major political parties here are, in order to appeal to the Hispanic vote, simply not working against illegal immigration from Mexico. This shameless pandering is bound to get us into trouble - these Chechen child killing monsters are a prime example of the folly of this "non-policy".
This issues isn't confined to the southern border, but the political ramifications of border enforcement there are much greater than policing the northern border.
Once again political correctness as well as pandering for the Hispanic votes creeps into what should be a high security issue.
Homeland security was created to help protect the American People from the intrusion of terrorists and yet they to are playing the political card when dealing with the weak border threats.
Why are we pouring billions of dollars into Homeland security to protect America when they are playing politics with our lives; "this is nuts"!
The failure of the U.S. ( and Canada ) to secure their borders is criminal.
A state that is unwilling or incapable of maintaining secure borders is tracking a path to its own destruction.
And to constantly hear, on U.S. tv, illegal interlopers called 'immigrants'. or
' undocumented immigrants ' drives me to distraction. How about the word 'criminals'.
And yes, in the u.s. it is all about the latino vote and cheap labour for farms and factories. In canada it is about not upsetting the huge immigrant communities in the country, especially the very active moslem one - that immy group has grown the fastest in the last several years, and the growth continues, both legally and illegally.
Just makes you wanna scream.
Sad to say, but at the present rate of the illegal invasion of the USA by Mexicans, the USA will lose the south western states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,Neveda and at least half of California. I can see that happening in no more than 40-50 years. But alas, too few politicians seem to take the threat serious and one day when the gravity of the situation dawns on the Washington crowd it will be too late.
It is crystal clear that the inmates now run the asylum. America is going to die, perhaps a lot sooner than anyone can imagine. The collapse of the Soviet Union should serve as a reminder that a nation can succumb quite suddenly.
America at the current rate of immigration, balkanization and cultural transformation will be third world quite possibly within our life-times.
There can be no stopping this runaway train, which is robbing America of its heritage and culture.
If Islamist infiltration across the southern border doesn't warrant anything other than charges of 'xenophobia', followed by business as usual, nothing will stop the America that we once knew from becoming a grotesque monster that people will run from.
Too bad no one is willing to run the United States.
Those holding office here or running for office -- want to run the world, yet they are unwilling to govern and protect the one and ONLY country in which have been elected.
Makes you wonder what "the world" will be like when they succeed in running it.
As for me, I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Overlooked Catastrophe
Coming From the South:
Interview with Scott Gulbransen
Author of
“The Silent Invasion”

Compiled By: Ryan Mauro

The problems of drug trafficking, illegal immigration, organized crime, and corruption are what comes to the mind of an average American when asked about Mexico and the border. But Americans rarely take the time to ponder if all these problems, emanate from a common problem—an unseen problem—potentially far worse. That is where Scott Gulbransen’s book, “The Silent Invasion” comes in.
Armed with enough investigation, facts and eyewitness reports to make any defense lawyer whimper, Gulbransen reveals a fraction of the frightening truth about what is going on south of the border, where all threats to the USA mingle. With an overwhelmed and overestimated intelligence community, it is people like Gulbransen who we can rely on to finally notice these things.
What things am I referring to? Marxism, terrorism, intelligence operations, covert economic warfare, corruption—and enemy operatives. In the book, “The Silent Invasion”, Gulbransen makes a stunning case that the rumors about units of Chinese, Cuban, Russian, and North Korean nationals being in Mexico, engaging in various anti-American activities. It is a pleasure to have this interview with Scott Gulbransen.
WRM: Scott, could you explain to me how you got into this area of research, and the type of research you did?
SG: I really stumbled onto this subject. Through a relationship with author Kathleen Keating, I started tapping into my law enforcement sources that I've developed over the past 12 years and during the time I was a reporter. They began telling me stories about strange activity on the border with Mexico so I decided to do some more research. I researched the revolutionary movements in Mexico and also the radical MEChA and La Raza movements run by Mexicans here in the U.S. I needed to first understand why Mexico would sell us out to enemies like China, Cuba, etc. This research led me to conversations with Mexican nationals that convinced me something was going on and that Mexico was not looking out for its neighbor to the North. I then hooked up with a Border Patrol source who gave me an unreal story about a Border Patrol shooting in Copper Canyon in October of 2000. This event was reported by national media as a "skirmish" but no mention of Chinese and European military personnel accompanied those stories. I wrote that first story on the incident and soon was flooded with credible sources willing to talk to me in private.
WRM: What were your conclusions?
SG: I've come to some conclusions but still am skeptical on others. My main conclusion in The Silent Invasion is simple: there is something happening in Mexico and it's not good for the U.S. and its national security. I have a long way to go before I can prove much of this without a shadow of doubt but certainly the signs are there. Mexico is up to something and is at the very least complicit in allowing America's enemies to use its territories to spy on us.
WRM: Were the Russians, Cubans, Chinese, North Koreans, etc., working together in organized units or did they just have a common presence in Mexico?
SG: My sources tell me Russians, Cubans have been seen working together in organized units. The Chinese and N. Koreans also work together. I have no sources that put units of all four nations together.
WRM: The intelligence communities of the countries with nationals involved in the suspicious activity have long been involved in drug trafficking, organized crime and sometimes, terrorist-related activity. Do you believe this is all an example of their workings?
SG: I don't necessarily believe in the "our government is completely corrupt and evil" argument. Do I believe there are factions of our government involved? Yes, absolutely. But, much to the disappointment of some of my readers, I don't believe Bush and everyone else are pulling puppet strings here. That may not be a popular view with many of my readers but I have found no trail or inkling that is the case. If I do, I certainly would change my mind but I think this is more of a middle-management issue. I do believe there are those in government and law enforcement who know about this and hide it very well.
WRM: What would be the motive of the elements of the law enforcement, border patrol, and government in ignoring, covering-up or even assisting what is going on in Mexico?
SG: If you find the motive in betraying your own country, let me know. I think it's a cross between money, sex and power. These folks are greedy and selling us out to make a buck or are being promised something. They're being blackmailed or some just don't care...they are selfish and are looking out for their own personal interests. That's my own thesis based on the stories I've heard.
WRM: According to Joseph D. Douglass' "Red Cocaine", these activities were often used as intelligence operations to compromise officials, gain intelligence on security, etc. Is there any evidence the foreigners involved in the suspicious activity were involved in this type of intelligence gathering?
SG: I am not familiar with Douglass' work so I wouldn't comment on it. I would say that my research does show these foreign elements do use drugs, sex and other vices to compromise law enforcement and government officials to get them to be quiet. If you have pictures of a married agent with hookers or young boys, you can bet he'll keep things quiet!
WRM: Is there any evidence of a formal bilateral agreement for cooperation in the area of what is going on in Mexico between the participating countries?
SG: Depends on what you consider evidence. I believe, and the book states, that Mexico is complicit out of a desire to reclaim Alta California and other areas of the southwest. They don't sing bilateral agreements on television as they're plotting the downfall of the U.S...
WRM: What are the implications of the common trend among US companies of hiring immigrants from countries, some of us see as potential enemies, like China, the former Soviet republics and Russia, etc?
SG: The ramifications of moving all of our manufacturing jobs overseas are unknown but, in my
view, it cannot be good. If an international war or incident broke out, we wouldn't be able to produce enough goods and services at home to compensate for the loss of overseas resources. In reality, we're all giving up economic freedom so we can buy items at Wal-Mart for less than we can elsewhere. We're selling our souls to save a few bucks.
WRM: What are the implications of the companies moving overseas, and doing such heavy investment overseas?
SG: The globalist movement is taking shape economically now after years of social reforms. It's bad for us...jobs, highly educated employees, are going to India, et al. It can only lead to disaster.
WRM: What do you believe are the geopolitical and national security-related ramifications on this activity?
SG: The geopolitical and national security ramifications are enormous. We're talking about our worst enemies surrounding us and testing our defenses on a daily basis. If the Cuban Missile Crisis almost resulted in nuclear holocaust, what would happen if the lid was blow of this thing? I shudder to think of what will happen when I am proved right and our nation gets off its collective ass and does something about it.
WRM: But once the country does find out about it, what is so dangerous? Can't simple anti-espionage security measures be taken? How come you feel this is so serious?
SG: If in 1962, we were at the brink of nuclear war over missiles in Cuba, what do you think the reaction would be of Chinese, Russian and N Korean soldiers on our border? A direct threat to the sovereignty of the United States is a serious matter, don't you think? When your enemies are on your border, abetted by an increasingly hostile and socialistic government, can't you see why that's serious? It threatens every American's safety and liberty
WRM: Is it possible these are just regular nationals or immigrants involved in these activities, rather than an organized effort by a government?
SG: No. There is no way Mexican immigrants or Asian immigrants would be conducting organized military activities in the Mexican desert. These are highly organized people.
WRM: How do you respond to the allegations that "sightings" of Asians in Mexican military uniforms may just be soldiers of the Indian population usually found in the southern portion of Mexico?
SG: I think the allegations that many make of the Asians being Native Mexicans is a smoke screen. If you're going to sit there and tell me that Border Patrol agents and Customs officers don't know the difference between those Mexicans and Asians, I'll say your nuts. These men and women deal with Mexican Indians all the time, they know the difference. These are not sightings by tourists or unqualified people. They are on the border every day and round up illegal immigrants all the time. To say they are mistaken questions their intelligence and is just another way to ignore the possibility that this is really happening.
WRM: Are these foreign units possible helping the Marxist, anti-American rebel movements in Mexico (particularly in the south) such as the Zapatistas, or are being used to assist officials seen as "favorable" by governments seeking to undermine American power?
SG: Absolutely. These Marxist elements are on the rise in Mexico AND America. The recent peace protests over the Iraq War was a clear sign that Communism is back strong in the Western Hemisphere and they are making inroads. We are being undermined internally daily and Mexico and its revolutionaries are aiding and abetting.
WRM: It has been said that the current mayor of Mexico City, who enjoys about 80% popularity, may run for president in 2006, and is highly likely to win. Analysts say he would be the Mexican version of Da Silva in Brazil, who is just one of the Fidel Castro fans taking over Latin American countries. Do you feel these activities have any connection to him? And do you see such a figure soon taking hold of Mexico?
SG: These actions very well could have a link to the mayor but Vicente Fox is also not a friend of America. He too, despite his current troubles, is a Globalist bent on destroying American independence. Da Silva and Chavez in South America all are Marxists. Castro is now a celebrity in America and only the older generations of Cuban-Americans are here to remind us what a murderous madman he is. When they are dead, who will hold the flag against Castro? It's very scary how our own media present him as a "hero". This all plays into the propaganda the Communists are using to brainwash the public. We better all wake up before it's too late.
WRM: As Marxists take over Latin America, what happens then? Of course they are hostile, but why is that so dangerous for the US? Many people feel that having an anti-American Latin America is not helpful, but not necessarily an imminent danger.
SG: To think Communism in Central America doesn't pose an immediate threat to the United States is both naive and unfounded. The Panama Canal and key shipping lanes that keep our economy and defense structure in tact all run through Latin and South America. These are all vital strategic areas for the United States. The Monroe Doctrine first established their importance and that importance continues today. I don't think the U.S. being surrounded by Communism/Socialism would be good for our future, do you?
WRM: What does the geopolitical situation look to you throughout Latin America?
SG: Back in the 1980s when President Reagan recognized the threat of Communism in S America, the American media railed against him as an oppressor keeping the poor of Latin American down. In reality, Reagan was a visionary who recognized the threat evil posed in our own hemisphere. During the Clinton years, Communism flourished in Latin American and America did nothing. Now, in the next few years, America could find itself surrounded by leaders who all abide by Marxist philosophies. It's scary, very scary.

They had better learn to drive first!
Last weekend:
(AP) - A stolen truck filled with suspected illegal immigrants sped away from deputies and rolled over at a busy intersection near an Army post Saturday, causing an 11-car crash that killed six people and seriously injured 15, sheriff's officials said.
Passengers were thrown from the truck as it struck a center median and began to spiral, hitting vehicles waiting at a turn lane, Deputy Chief Randy Redmond of the Sierra Vista Fire Department said. Investigators think the truck was traveling at about 90 mph when it lost control near Fort Huachuca in southeastern Arizona, he said.
At least 20 people were in the truck, Redmond said.
From the article
If true, then this is high treason on the part of Tom Ridge and the President.
If true, this sounds like that maybe they plan to use another major incident, after the elections, for purposes of turning this into a police state.
If true, this is horrendous, Orwellian in fact,as if The Washington Crowd,our corporate masters, are working hand in hand with the terrorists, almost as if the terrorists were on their payroll.
There is no doubt at all that Bush and the corporate masters that support him, are butt buddies with the Wahhabi's, the Saudis.
None at all.
Meanwhile we scream and holler at each other about left v right, Repub v Dem, "team sports".
Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks, may be different teams, but they both belong to the same
league. Besides politics isn't a team sport, with blind team loyalties. Or it shouldn't be.
Meanwhile as I posted previously. Osama is rooting for Bush, and stated that he has suspended operations until after the election.
Meanwhile it seems Kerry has financial support and backing from the same corporations as Bush, but unlike Bush who has the support of the Saudis, Kerry has support of the Mullahcracy in Iran.
Bush defends the Saudis, Kerry attacks them.
Well Saudis are partners in the Carylyle Group, along with Bush and Cheney's patrons and family, such as Cheney, Jim Baker of Baker Botts, etc.
Heads we lose
Tailes they win.
Giaour....
I finally agree with you on a point in your 6:43pm post. Right you are that all we're doing is yelling and screaming at each other,as if that is going to do some good.I think that is due in large part to the frustrations so many of us out here feel by being helpless and unable to do anything about the giving away of our country. I walked into my local Home Depot store the other day and all of the signage had been changed to include spanish. Our DMV written drivers test is printed in 8 languages.I could go on and on but it would take the rest of the night to list all the bull crap that's going on in my state. I'm so pissed I want to break something.
Giaour
You and your butt buddies forgot we Americans own Guns, Lots of them!!
If they is any truth to this stuff, the poor wet backs will be getting pay backs!!
There will be a genocide here in Southern California, and no one left to pick the fields!!
Al Qaeda for Kerry and his psychopathic wife..
She sure would make a classy first lady!!
No Islam, Know Peace
So sad. It seems that those in charge are REFUSING to protect our borders. They have no shame - pandering to voters and providing cheap labor for personal gain are probably the reasons that amount to selling out their country. Sorry to be cynical, but what else can it be?
Giaour;
Get a life!
Why should the Department of Homeland Security waste its time interrogating Brazilians?
Your ability to construct elaborate conspiracy theories from the most trivial matter never ceases to amaze me.
I'm starting to wonder about your background; The only kind of people I know who usually "think" like are radical Muslims, Jew-hating Arab Christians, and Amercia-hating Europeasers.
"Your ability to construct elaborate conspiracy theories from the most trivial matter never ceases to amaze me."
The truely marvelous conspiracy theories are called NAFTA, Trade Agreement of the Americans, GATT, WTO, The Law of the Sea Treaty, the International Criminal Court, and on, and on.
Just wait until you read the fine print in the "No Child Left Behind" laws. Truely the stuff of "wacko" conspiracy theories.
If those who believe such treaties and legislation actually exist are "nuts," I have to wonder about the sanity of the American leaders who actually signed on to these agreements in the name of the people who would be most adversely impacted by them -- especially the ICC stuff signed by Clinton, and now in effect by Bush.
Just think, the legal underpinnings are now in place for US combat personnel to one day be dragged before a European court and tried for war crimes even though they were called to "fight for their country."
This is not a conspiracy theory -- it is now international law.
No amount of bickering, name calling, and finger pointing can change that reality. If you don't like it, then one day you may get a chance to "tell it to a judge" -- in Brussels.
