I love to grow things, just don't have the land for it at present. Would love to do that again. I suffer for lack of fresh air, feel so much better after a walk. In fact, I saw something today. Hold on, will search for an image ...

Goodnight, SA. You are truly the smartest one of us and not an @$$ at all! Hehe.

Mexican militants urge US Lationos to arm themselves

Snip: Due to the recent large demonstrations of our people in major cities in occupied Anahuac, extremist European invaders are preparing violent actions against us.

They are expected to use physical violence in the upcoming marches and rallies planned for May 1, 2006 and we must take steps to protect our families.

The Director of Special Intelligence Services has reliable information that anti-Mexican forces in Aztlan and in certain other area of Anahuac, are preparing to utilize explosives and snipers to kill our people. We urge our community to arm themselves to protect our families. We are also urging our soldiers presently serving In Iraq, Afghanistan and other foreign lands to do everything possible to return home and fight for your own. The situation here is critical.

In addition, all political prisoners shall be in constant alert and ready for action. Also, youth groups in our barrios shall call truces and direct their energies against the racist enemy that has vowed to annihilate our families.

Our Prime Minister is instructing every able bodied male to arm himself to protect the women and children in his home. We can not depend on local White law enforcement authorities because in many cases they will join the criminal elements and participate in the slaughter of our people. Make sure you have weapons and plenty of ammunition in your homes at the ready.

Criminal racist elements have already made death threats against certain "occupation administrators" and they will not stop at killing our civilians. We hope that the massacres of Mexicans that the White criminals have vowed to undertake are just the rantings of cowardly insane minds but we must take these threats seriously.

Sweet dreams, SA.

Here it is, potlatch and Piper, a flower I love to plant and to see, Lobelia Crystal Palace, a compact low-growing plant. Today, I saw this on my walk and thought of you, JP:

Graffiti calls for Mexico boycott

Snip: Vandals used cement sewer pipes laid along the Center Road widening project to express their sentiments about Monday's nationwide boycott by illegal immigrants.

"Fire Mexican," "Boycott Mexico" and "Hire American" was spray painted on the pipes along with hands making an obscene salute.

Massive cross border tunnel to be plugged

Snip: The massive tunnel extended 2,400 feet from a warehouse near the Tijuana, Mexico, airport to another warehouse in San Diego. It was lit, ventilated and went as deep as 90 feet.

Mexico in talks with Moscow for fighter jets

Snip: The Mexican armed forces are in talks with Moscow to buy about a dozen Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jets, a Russian newspaper on May 2 quoted Ivan Goncharov, deputy head of Russian arms export agency Rosoboronexport, as saying. Mexico hopes this year to acquire a squadron of 10 to 12 jets to intercept drug traffickers’ planes, daily Vedomosti said.

Russia’s Su-27 aircraft are competing with Sweden’s Gripen jets for the contract, the paper said. It quoted an unnamed source at aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi as confirming that talks were underway. But the source voiced concerns that the United States might object to the use of Russian military aircraft by its neighbor.

Dubuque man convicted of selling fake IDs to illegals

Snip: The native of Veracruz, Mexico, agreed to forfeit 35 thousand dollars in proceeds of unlawful activities and document equipment seized at his apartment. He produced I-Ds, permanent resident alien cards, Social Security cards and driver's licenses that he has sold to immigrants since last year.

Celebrating Quatro de Ketchup

Snip: In the spirit of the May Day Protests however, I have decided to boycott all things Cinco de Mayo. If foreigners from Mexico feel they have the right to protest our laws and regulations and demand amnesty from our lawmakers by "shutting down the country", then surely as a citizen I should be able to demand strict enforcement of immigration laws and in protest "shut down Cinco de Mayo". In a move that almost makes as much sense as singing our national anthem in Spanish, I have proclaimed a counter-holiday, El Quatro de Ketchup, to be held on May 4th. El Quatro de Ketchup will celebrate the rule of law, citizen advocacy, and the age-old tradition of ousting politicians who don't please their constituents.

A strike against America

Snippets: May Day was a strike against America. It was a show of force, a demonstration of raw street power to force the U.S. government into granting to 12 million illegal aliens, who have broken our laws, not only the full benefits of U.S. citizenship, but full citizenship.

It was brazen act of extortion to coerce Congress to grant amnesty now -- or to be ready for big trouble in the streets. Congress cannot capitulate. The response of Congress to such extortion should be a direct one: "We are not intimidated. There is going to be no amnesty. The border fence goes up this summer. Demonstrate all you want. We're not capitulating."

The message would be electric: Congress will have said, first, that the U.S. will not be cowed by strikes or boycotts by lawbreakers. Second, America intends to re-establish control of her border. Third, the invasion route from Mexico is going to be closed, forever. Fourth, those who come to America henceforth will be those we invite in. And, as guests, they will behave as guests -- or they will be going back home.

During the "Generals' Revolt," when half a dozen senior officers called for the firing of Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, President Bush saw a challenge to his authority and had to throw it back. If Congress does not throw back this challenge, if Congress capitulates to this extortion, America should start shopping for a new Congress in November -- an American Congress.

INVASION USA
Suit: L.A. police cower to illegals
Cops accused of shirking responsibility to protect citizens by not asking status

Posted: May 3, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern

The Los Angeles Police Department is being sued in connection with its policy prohibiting officers from inquiring about an individual's immigration status, and reportedly restricts them from cooperating with federal immigration officials.

The action has been filed by the public-interest group Judicial Watch, and asks the court to prohibit the LAPD from expending taxpayer funds to enforce and maintain "Special Order 40," claiming it violates both California and federal laws and puts American citizens at risk.

"Special Order 40 is illegal and dangerous," said the group's president Tom Fitton. "It constrains police officers from enforcing the law and places everyone at risk from criminal illegal aliens."

Initiated in 1979 by former L.A. Police Chief Daryl Gates, the measure reads, in part, "Officers shall not initiate police action with the objective of discovering the alien status of a person. Officers shall not arrest nor book persons for violation of Title 8, Section 1325 of the United States Immigration Code (Illegal Entry)."

According to a Board of Police Commissioners' report in February 2001, in practice, the policies and procedures also "preclude officers from ... notifying the [federal immigration officials] about a person's undocumented status unless the person has been arrested."

The Judicial Watch complaint states: "Special Order 40 and the policies, procedures, and practices arising thereunder ... are unlawful and void, and the LAPD must be prohibited from expending any further taxpayer funds ... to enforce, maintain, or otherwise carry out in any manner the provisions of Special Order 40."

In 1996, Congress enacted legislation which states, " ... a federal, state, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (now Immigration and Customs Enforcement) information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual."

California law also mandates Los Angeles Police officers enforce immigration laws and work with federal immigration officials.

In its complaint, Judicial Watch cites a New York Times article published in late 2004 concerning an illegal alien who went on a rampage in Hollywood, Calif., mugging three people, burglarizing two apartments and attempting to rape a woman in front of her five-year-old daughter.

The unlawful immigrant had previously been deported four years earlier for robbery, drugs and burglary, but had made his way back into the U.S.

"Although he had been stopped twice for traffic violations," the Times reported, "the police were prohibited from reporting him to immigration authorities."
