Jason Apuzzo of the Conservative film & entertainment blog LIBERTAS has posted a link to On The Fence Films' incredible 4.5 minute docuentary on the organization and support for the massive May 1 rallies held across the country. It is extremely revealing. Link to video HERE.
In a great example of "direct action cinema," our good friends at On The Fence Films have just put out a short called "El Uno De Mayo" about the commie-totalitarian groups behind the recent May Day marches ostensibly aimed at "defending the rights of illegal aliens." The short features some great footage of the "Stalinist androids of International ANSWER," as the filmmakers put it - ANSWER being one of the major groups behind those marches.
I love the phrase Stalinist androids, by the way. If I had a rock band that's what I'd call it.
"El Uno De Mayo" comes from the same team that showed the shorts "Dead Meat" and "Brainwashing 201 on opening night of last yearfs Liberty Film Festival.
Congratulations to Stuart Browning and Evan Maloney for their fine, fast work on this short...
Apologies if this post is a jumbled mess. LIBERTAS and ON The Fence Films have a good one here, a "must see". Follow links to both sites.
bttt
I just went out and charged my videocam battery..... thanks.
Don't mind if I steal that, do ya?
Much better.
That would be good on a T-shirt.
It's already a T-shirt.
Somehow, Reagan looks so strange on all that red.
"Massive" my ass...hell, the Los Angeles Times predicted 2 to 3 million in that city alone....I guess the "Corona Call" was too strong to resist

Excellent!

LAPD handcuffed from doing their job

In 1979, I was the police officer who actually drafted "Special Order 40." I did so under protest, but was ordered to actually draft the order and prepare it for the signature of Chief of Police Daryl F. Gates.
The order is now incorporated into the LAPD Manual in Volume 1, Section 390. This order was the direct result of the chief of police being ordered to publish it by the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners. The president of the Board of Police Commissioners in 1979 was none other than now-9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Stephen Reinhart. Reinhart was, and I suppose still is, the spouse of Ramona Ripstan, the head of the Southern California Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union!
The order states in part: "Undocumented status in itself is not a matter for police action. It is therefore incumbent upon all employees to make the personal commitment to equal enforcement of the law and service to the public regardless of alien status."
This was clearly "code" for back off! At the time, the LAPD knew that the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and U.S. Border Patrol were not doing their job in Los Angeles. The street officers of the LAPD intuitively knew that if they didn't do something, the floodgates would be wide open. Well, we were told to stop enforcing immigration law, the gates were opened and the rest is history.
Sorry, folks ... we tried.
J.T. Day,
LAPD, retired
What was this thread about, again?
Wait a second, YOU DIDN'T KNOW? AAARGH!
[my tagline]
Awesome...!!!
I swear I never saw your tagline. LOL!
It was a big bust. I watched the news the next day--the stores that had suffered the most, lost the most money were--stores in Hispanic areas of town, stores owned by and frequented by Hispanics. The only positive impact for my husband and I was the traffic on I5 North was noticeably, blessedly, less.
You're a great American, Squirrel King. Thank you for posting this. "Si, se puede! Si, se puede!"
Bravo to On the Fence films.
Gas in San Diego being over $3 is starting to help also.
In north county I didn't see one station under $3.40 today and a lot of them have gone to $3.49 to $3.59.
Traffic on- and off-island was great Monday. I gave out Free Chic-Fil-A coupons to the Latinos who came to work at the company next to ours. At school, however, my wife said that none of Latinos on the janitorial staff showed. One old African-American fellow was left and he insisted on doing it all, poor fella.
I just calls 'em like I sees 'em!
