They're going nuts over in FReeperville about this report that the US Govt has been giving info directly to the Mexican govt on various Minuteman groups in the US. Michele Malkin has some info: SNITCHING & SPYING FOR MEXICO By Michelle Malkin · May 09, 2006 12:55 PM I'll keep updating my first post on this subject with reader feedback. Meantime, the Minutemen Blog has details not reported by the Daily Bulletin: Sara Carter, a reporter with the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, reports today that she found documentation on Mexican government websites that show higher ups in the United States Border Patrol have been tipping off the corrupt Mexican government as to the locations of the Minutemen along the border. This article does not report information told to the MCDC media offices that the Border Patrol chiefs have also been passing along intelligence reports to the government of Mexico on the activities of Minutemen not only at the borders, but in locations such as Utah, Nevada, Illinois, Massachusetts and Tennessee. Perhaps a follow-up story is coming tomorrow or an over zealous editor took the info out? Part of a report distributed last August to the Mexican government from Border Patrol bureaucrats read over the phone to the MCDC media offices contained not only numbers (estimated chapter membership) of Minutemen in Illinois, but a statement on their activities and that they didn't seem to know any politicians there, indicating that the Illinois Minutemen didn't yet have any political clout. That is not a report on the location of Minutemen at the border, but political intelligence from our government to a foreign nation about the activities of American citizens petitioning our own government for redress of grievances. The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps media offices will contact the reporter to inquire about copies of the documents and the timing on a follow-up story with the reports to the Mexican government of activities of Minutemen in INTERIOR states, as if reports of our locations in the border states weren't bad enough. ****** Big Jim had to lay the hammer down...no more of that dere impeachment talk....

This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder if Bush truly wants to win in Iraq. He openly promotes that we should have a restricted and ineffective Border Patrol. Is he telling the troop commanders in Iraq to conduct restricted and therefore ineffective tactical operations against the enemy?

This is the backup plan ie. to make the US "culturely" like the S American countries.

SUMMIT OF THE AMERICAS: Massive March Takes Aim at FTAA, Bush Marcela Valente

MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina, Nov 4 (IPS) - Tens of thousands of demonstrators from throughout the Americas marched through the streets of this eastern Argentine resort Friday to protest the presence of U.S. President George W. Bush and reject the push for a hemisphere-wide free trade area, a point of contention in the fourth Summit of the Americas.

"We came because we want solutions for the hunger and unemployment in our countries, and to help raise society's awareness on the need to block the FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas)," trade unionist José Antonio Rodríguez of the Central Única dos Trabalhadores, Brazil's main trade union federation, told IPS.

The march was called by the organisers of the third Peoples' Summit, held in Mar del Plata Tuesday through Friday by civil society organisations from Latin America, North America and the Caribbean to discuss alternatives to the FTAA.

While the streets of Mar del Plata were packed with demonstrators, the summit of heads of state and government of the Americas opened Friday under the theme "Creating jobs to reduce poverty and strengthen democratic governance".

Although the leaders had hoped to reach an agreement on reviving the FTAA talks, there is resistance from Venezuela and members of the Mercosur (Southern Common Market) trade bloc, made up of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, which insist that any progress in the talks for a 34-country free trade zone must include a commitment by Washington to cut farm subsidies.

The hardest-line positions were taken Friday by the presidents of Mexico, in favour of the FTAA, and Venezuela, which has declared it dead.

While Mexican President Vicente Fox said the 29 countries in favour of the FTAA should go ahead without the dissenters, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez said Mar del Plata should be "the FTAA's tomb."

Heading up the Friday morning march, under a steady rain, were Argentine Nobel Peace Prize-winner Adolfo Pérez Esquivel and the president of the local human rights group Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, Hebe de Bonafini, as well as indigenous Bolivian presidential candidate Evo Morales of the Movement to Socialism and other social and political leaders.

Also taking part in the protest was Francisco Dos Reis, president of the Association of Small and Medium Companies of Argentina, who commented to IPS that the FTAA would have a "brutal" effect on that sector of the economy. "All you have to do is take a look at what happened in Mexico as a result of NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement)," which links Canada, Mexico and the United States, he argued.

"With the FTAA, the United States wants to do the same thing it did with the Alliance for Progress in the late 1950s, when the number of poor in Latin America climbed from 100 to 200 million," he added.

The demonstrators protested the March 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. "Bush, fascist, you are the terrorist," they chanted, holding signs like "Bush=Murderer" and "Stop Bush".

Indigenous leaders from a number of countries also took part in the march.

Aucán Huilcamán, with the Mapuche All Lanas Council, told IPS that the foreign ministers met with them Thursday, something that had never before occurred at a Summit of the Americas.

"We were able to describe to them the negative effects that the FTAA has on our collective rights," said Huilcamán, who is fighting to be allowed to take part as a candidate in Chile's December presidential elections.

Nevertheless, the indigenous activists do not hold out much hope for results from the dialogue.

"For us to be received is a step forward. But the proposed American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has been held up for 15 years in the Organisation of American States," said Huilcamán.

The protest, which according to the organisers drew at least 50,000 demonstrators, also included members of social and political movements that support the centre-left Argentine government of President Néstor Kirchner, like the Party for the Democratic Revolution and organisations of unemployed workers known as "piqueteros" for their strategy of mounting roadblocks.

Many of the participants were women trying to shield their children from the rain with plastic bags. One of them, just two years old, walked alongside his mother, who was carrying his baby brother. The toddler had lost a shoe, but no one had noticed.

His mother told IPS that she had come to the city with a group of unemployed workers who belong to the piquetero movement Barrios de Pie in a bus in which they were offered lunch. "It's part of the agreement we have with them," said the woman, alluding to a government stipend she receives through the organisation, as an unemployed head of household.

Daniel Cuenca of the Central de Trabajadores de Argentina trade union federation admitted to IPS that many of the protesters did not just spontaneously show up on their own, and know nothing about the FTAA. "That is why we are demonstrating -- so that there won't be so many people living in utter poverty without knowing what's going on," he said.

Followers of Kirchner and other activists also arrived in a train that was chartered by a group led by parliamentary Deputy Miguel Bonasso, who is a writer and journalist, and which also brought in football legend Diego Maradona, Evo Morales and other personalities from Argentina and abroad.

Maradona did not take part in the march but went directly to the stadium where the closing ceremony for the Peoples' Summit was held.

Among those performing in the stadium were singer-songwriters Silvio Rodríguez from Cuba, Daniel Viglietti from Uruguay and Víctor Heredia from Argentina.

Chávez, the only president to take part in the "counter-summit", addressed the crowd in the stadium. (END/2005)

Dane is such a tool - he seems to be the only NWOer on this thread though. The rest of them are hoppin' mad, and most of them are hard core bots. Jim's gonna have to put some of those Ben Hur spikes on his wheels and run 'em down.

LOL! You're a brave and self-sacrificing soul to read the FR trash. Hopefully the freetards will explode and jimrob will loose all their support. How many freeper fires can he keep putting out before his fingers are burned to the bone!
