Greenspan reveals he is pro illegal immigration

Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the Fed and in the eyes of many one of the most brilliant people in the world, has been on a book selling media tour recently. While promoting his new tell all book, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World (Order?), he has made a number of statements which have me questioning if he is senile or just really dumb.

The first statement of his that really irked me was this:

He explains how an advanced economy hinges on property rights, the rule of law, a culture of trust, contracts, debt, reputation, self-interest and "creative destruction" -- the scrapping of old technologies and processes.

He argues, for example, that the loss of manufacturing jobs in the United States -- from the steel, automobile and textile industries to computers and telecommunications -- "is a plus, not a minus, to the American standard of living."

He maintains that immigration reform, "by opening up the United States to the world's very large and growing pool of skilled workers," will help reduce the inequality of incomes.

When I read this I nearly fell out of my chair. Here is the justification for sending not hundreds but thousands of factories to China and Mexico. The loss of manufacturing jobs improves our standard of living? Not for those that lose their jobs. This last stuff is absolutely insane in my opinion. Reducing income equality? Sounds a like a socialist. I guess it didn't affect his salary though did it?

So tell me O wise one. How do you improve the standard of living and reduce the inequality of incomes at the same time? His idea is apparently to outsource our factories and then import illegal labor to work in the ones we have left. Which by the way he calls a "growing pool of skilled labor". This is a man who completely out of touch with reality. Yea - when NAFTA ruins all the farms and small business left in Mexico, then you have a growing pool of unskilled peasants coming across the border looking for work. Meanwhile the average working American can look forward to a job in computers or telecommunications?

So I see here once again why the SPP open border agenda is being crammed down our throats by a bunch or rich, wealthy, elitists who stand to make a lot of money from it. Why would we have to worry about the "inequality of incomes" in Mexico unless they had a plan to create a North American Union. So the master manipulators have to import millions of illegal immigrants to lower our excessive wages? Nice to know they care. So what does Greenspan know about SPP that he is not telling?

Then he states about the current Mortgage crises:

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan admits he "didn't really get it" that the subprime lending trend was significant enough to hurt the economy until very late 2005, but still defends his lowering of interest rates from 2001 until 2004 that critics say caused the crisis in the first place. "While I was aware a lot of these practices were going on, I had no notion of how significant they had become until very late," he tells Stahl. "I really didn't get it until very late in 2005 and 2006."

And then he goes and contradicts himself on the same issue:

While denying responsibility for the Mortgage and housing crisis. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan responds to critics who charge that the Fed contributed to the housing bubble and subprime mortgage mess by keeping interest rates low for so long, "This particular problem was an accident waiting to happen."

So which is it Alan? I don't remember him warning anybody about it in 2005 or 2006.

Then he goes on to proclaim about his own legacy:

"I'd like very much for people to say, 'Well, he caused all of that.'

O.K. that is exactly what I'm saying. You helped cause this mess. I guess in his mind that doesn't include the current mortgage crises which he admits he did not foresee. Or the recession of the late 90's and early 2000. Both of which critics attribute to his policies. It seems to me he is just a self serving individual trying to get back into the limelight and sell his book.

And then he proceeds to endorse Hillary Clinton:

"Very smart. She is probably everything that everybody says about her. She wouldn't be a bad president."

And all this comes right before the elections of 2008. A so called Republican promoting Hilary and Bill. Coincidence? I don't think so. I think this Emperor has no clothes left.

La Voz de Aztlan celebrates EPR and Al Qaeda attack on US

The recent EPR terror attacks on Mexico's oil infrastructure went virtually unnoticed and unreported in the MSM. However the impact on the Mexican and U.S. economy is far from insignificant. In the recent article shown below, notorious MECha and Aztlan proponent Ernesto Cienfuegos, celebrates it as an attack on the US economy. With scarcely concealed pride he calls the recent EPR terrorist attack on Mexico's oil infrastructure an Al Qaeda success. Does he know something we don't know? He surmises that only someone that is an "experienced bomb maker" would be able to do this. He states that Mexico is worried about the sophisticated and much more powerful Improvised Explosives Devices (IED's) that EPR is now using.

On his website you can find links supporting two of the four insurgent/terrorist groups operating in Mexico. EZLN and the Mexica Movement. According to this website there are four main Indigenous and Guerrilla warfare movement groups in Mexico. The Mexica Movement is the only one that has not been implicated in any attacks to this point. They are currently involved in the recruiting in the US and run perhaps the best racist I hate white site on the internet. They actively stage protest rallies and recruit the gullible on college campuses. They are especially active in California and Texas. Nice to know that at least they appreciate the liberty that our country allows them spread their Marxist propaganda.

Popular Revolutionary Army (EPR)
Zapatist National Liberation Army (EZLN)
Zapatist National Liberation Front (FZLN)
Mexica Movement (Indigenous Movement of the People of Anahuac)


The Zapatistas have been the most active in fighting the Mexican government in the '90's. A current state of truce exists officially since 2000 when Vincente Fox was elected. The EPR is thought to be connected to EZLN but for obvious political reasons they function as a separate group. They are the ones attacking the government today. Have they been trained by Al Qaeda as Ernesto seems to indicate? Does he know something because of his open connection to two of these groups seen on his website?

The House report released in 2006 titled A Line in the Sand, FBI Director Robert Muller confirmed in his testimony:

"that there are individuals from countries with known al-Qa’ida connections who are changing their Islamic surnames to Hispanic-sounding names and obtaining false Hispanic identities, learning to speak Spanish and pretending to be Hispanic immigrants."

It also states that:

"Islamic radical groups that support Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamiya Al Gamat are all active in Latin America. These groups generate funds through money laundering, drug trafficking, and arms deals, making millions of dollars every year via their multiple illicit activities. These cells reach back to the Middle East and extend to this hemisphere the sophisticated global support structure of international terrorism. While threats to our nation from international terrorism are well known, lesser known threats spawned by narcoterrorism reach deeply into this country."

The Washington Times reported on September 28, 2004, that the notorious MS-13 gang had held meeting with the terrorist group, Al Qaeda. The meetings were rumored to concern methods of smuggling humans into the United States across Mexican borders. Police indicated that Al Qaeda had sought a partnership with MS-13.

The question that needs to be asked is this. Is EPR receiving training from Al Qaeda? Is that where they have learned to build their more sophisticated bombs and IED's? Intelligence reports have suggested that Latin American terrorists are receiving training at Al Qaeda camps in North Africa. Could this be the result?

Ernesto threateningly states that, "It would be much wiser for President Calderon to negotiate with the EPR" rather than hire Strategic Forecasting, Inc. for security. What is he a foreign policy adviser now? Is he an ambassador of peace for the EPR? Shall we sit down with the devil and discuss this. How long will it be until they bring their terrorism into Texas, into the heart of America? How long before they are openly doing Al Qaeda's dirty work in America?

The Aztlan movement are open supporters of the Zapatistas and the Mexica Movement and from this article I can now safely assume EPR as well. So effectively they support all the Marxist revolutionary groups operating in Mexico and the US. Mexico is ripe for the revolutionary propaganda of left-wing socialist groups because of the economic problems and increased poverty and corruption in Mexico exacerbated by NAFTA and now the richest man in the world, Mexican Carlos Slim. To try and solve their internal problems Mexico is now exporting their Marxist revolution to America.

And that same revolution is being imported into the US by the Bush Administration's implementation of the open border policies of the SPP agenda. Greed and pandering to big Business and Mexico seem to take priority over common sense and national security needs. The SPP agenda is in direct conflict with the overriding national security need to secure our borders. Six years after 9/11 the situation is actually worse. Yet Bush tells us he is protecting America by fighting terrorism in Iraq. Meanwhile he leaves continues to leave our southern border undefended and open to terrorist counter attack.

And MECHa scuzzballs like Ernesto Cienfuegos only add fuel to the fire. Not a wise move GW. I consider Bush's actions to be criminally negligent and the incompetent Michael Chertoff deserves the same condemnation as well. Will the inability of the Bush administration to connect the dots lead to another horrific terror attack on the U.S.? I would hope not but it does not appear that they are currently aware of just how dangerous this situation is. It is imperative for our national security that we secure the border now. Not in 12 years. Not in 8 years. It needs to be done now. Duncan Hunter says he can build a fence from California to Texas in just 6 months. I believe him. That is why I support Duncan Hunter for President in 2008.

Mexican insurgents cause record $80 per barrel crude oil price

Al-Qaeda's goal to collapse the US. economy appears on track

by
Ernesto Cienfuegos
La Voz de Aztlan

Los Angeles, Alta California - September 12, 2007 - (ACN) The new bombings of six facilities of Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) by the Ejercito Popular Revolucionario (EPR) early Monday caused the price today of U.S. light crude for October delivery to rise to a record $80.00 per barrel. At the same time the dollar fell to a new all-time low against the Euro. The 13-nation Euro rose to $1.3901 today, topping all previous records.

A military spokesman of the EPR said that they placed 12 explosive devices each on 12 pipelines of Petroleos Mexicanos located at La Antigua, Ursulo Galvan, Omealca, Mendoza, Cumbres de Maltrata in the state of Veracruz and in Cuapiaxtla in the state of Tlaxcala. The explosives were detonated simultaneously at 2:00 AM on September 10. The EPR also carried out successful bombings of PEMEX facilities in the states of Queretaro and Guanajuato in July.

The EPR has in the past condemned the Vicente Fox and the Felipe Calderon administrations for selling out Mexico's petroleum resources to US interests. They believe that Mexican oil revenues are being siphoned off by the super rich and are never used to benefit the desperately poor Mexican people. The EPR claims that this is one reason why millions of Mexican workers have been forced to migrate north of the border.

The insurgent attacks have also caused massive losses in the Mexican economy. The industrial sectors have reported losses of over 200 million dollars since Monday. The lack of natural gas alone has affected over 375 large corporations in the states of Mexico, Puebla, Aguascalientes, Queretaro, Tlaxcala, San Luis Potosi, Michoacan, Jalisco, Guanajuato and the Federal District. Over 10,000 workers are presently idle. Many of these are already heading to the USA.

Yesterday, work at the following auto plants was suspended: Volkswagen, in Puebla; Chrysler, in Toluca; General Motors, in Silao; Ford, in Cuautitlan; Honda, in El Salto, and over 100 suppliers of auto parts in various states are presently closed..

In addition, steel industry representatives have reported that 60% of steel production has been halted due to the lack of energy caused by the EPR bombings of the PEMEX pipelines.

Mexico is the number two oil exporter to the US and as such figures greatly in the security of the country. Al-Qaeda has already made it one of their goals to starve the US of critical petroleum based energy in order to force the collapse of the economy. With this much at stake, the US Department of State has already made moves to assure the continued flow of Mexican oil across the border. The Calderon government has contracted with the CIA controlled SY Coleman Corporation based in Arlington, Virginia to provide security for the PEMEX facilities, something that could backfire on the PAN Party administration. It would be much wiser for President Calderon to negotiate with the EPR.

In addition, the Strategic Forecasting, Inc. (Stratfor), through the US State Department, is now offering its services to President Felipe Calderon. Stratfor is supposedly a private intelligence agency founded in 1996 in Austin, Texas but insiders know the outfit as "The Shadow CIA". Stratfor analysts say that the EPR has "evolved greatly". They believe that the recent sophisticated operations by the EPR can not be the work of simple "campesinos". Stratfor says that they believe the recent bombings were led by very experienced bomb makers. They note that the recent operations against PEMEX have evolved greatly from what is usual for the group. The range of the attacks are much more widespread and are coming much more frequent. They are also worried about the much more sophisticated and much more powerful Improvised Explosives Devices (IED's) the EPR has been using.

Senate votes to block Mexican trucks test

Nice to know that the Bush Administration is so concerned for our safety. The American consumers are sick and tired of selling out our safety and security for cheaper products. We are losing jobs and factories and revenues to import cheap stuff from China that comes through Mexico. They only want to ship stuff through Mexico to avoid cost of doing business for the longshoreman and teamsters Unions. Are those idiots on strike again? You would think that they would strike for something other than higher wages. Apparently their corrupt leaders have been bought and paid for. Is there a shortage of truck drivers too now in the US?

And six years after 9/11 the Bush Administration pushes forward relentlessly to keep our southern border porous and open. No real security concerns from Mexican trucks. No way any bombs or terrorists could be inside them. I feel like I'm living in some make believe world of corrupt politicians.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted on Tuesday to block funding for a Bush administration test program to let Mexican long-haul trucks operate in the United States under 1994's North American Free Trade Agreement.

One day after a fiery truck accident killed dozens in Mexico, the Senate approved an amendment to a transportation spending bill that would cut off funding for the test, which the administration authorized last week to run for one year.

The House of Representatives has passed a similar measure.

The White House on Tuesday threatened to veto the broad transportation bill because it would spend more money than President George W. Bush requested. It said the administration opposes any restrictions on the cross-border trucking program.

The administration said "it has the necessary safeguards in place to ensure a safe and secure program."

A tractor-trailer loaded with explosives blew up in a huge fireball on Monday after hitting a pickup truck in the northern Mexican state of Coahuila. At least 29 people were killed.

Calling the accident a warning to proceed cautiously, North Dakota Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan led the effort to deny funding for the program. Dorgan questioned Mexican truck safety rules, as well as the handling of the test by the Bush administration, which he said "rushed to implement the pilot program late last week -- literally in the dark of night."

He said the Transportation Department authorized the program too quickly, despite a report that found numerous problems with Mexican truck safety records.

Dorgan said the vote against the program was "a turning of the tide on the senseless, headlong rush this country has been engaged in for some time to dismantle safety standards and a quality of life it took generations to achieve."

The pilot program involves both Mexican trucks operating in the United States and U.S. trucks being allowed to operate in Mexico, within limits on both sides.


Arizona Republican Sen. John Kyl, defending the program in Senate floor debate, said the test would involve a maximum of 100 Mexican companies and 500 to 600 trucks on U.S. roads.

"It is worth giving this program a chance ... It is much more efficient and much cheaper for American consumers if those Mexican trucks can travel in the United States," Kyl said.

Missouri Republican Christopher Bond said, "There is some strong support for allowing these trucks to run in the United States." He cited a letter of support for the program from agribusiness interests that said NAFTA promises the program.

John Hill, an administrator in the Transportation Department, called the vote to block the program "a sad victory for the politics of fear and protectionism."

Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown compared pressure to open up U.S. roads to Mexican trucks to the kind of free-trade pressures that opened U.S. markets to tainted food and toys from China "because it serves multinational corporations."

Brown said, "This pilot program doesn't make sense ... Too often in this chamber we write trade deals that ignore consumers and coddle corporations."

On the overall transportation bill, the Senate approved on Monday an amendment providing $1 billion more for bridge renovations nationwide after last month's collapse of a span in Minnesota and fears that other U.S. bridges were unsound.

Six Years after 9/11 - Safer But Not Yet Safe?

The following article was written by DA King and published in the Insider Advantage Georgia.

I find it very troubling that the Bush administration's open border policies have so many detrimental effects on our national security. I would call it criminal negligence. And all for Big Business interests that really control America. Thanks a lot GW. The next time I see you crying on TV I'll be wondering why you shed such crocodile tears.

Security On The Border, Sept. 12, 2007 - Feel Safer?
By D.A. King

“We must be vigilant.” – President George W. Bush, in an address to the nation following the 9/11 attacks - Atlanta, Georgia. November 8, 2001.

(9/12/07) The sixth anniversary of the unspeakable horror of September 11, 2001 is behind us, the heartbreaking memorial ceremonies and speeches are over and we now begin our seventh year facing life in America knowing we are targets of crazies who will do anything to attack us in our homeland.

Most adult Americans will never forget that clear-blue morning in 2001. “Everything will be different now,” I remember thinking, still tearful and numb from the shock of watching the second airliner fly into the World Trade Center.

But everything is not different now.

While it is true that we must now partially disrobe to board an airplane, that we carefully pre-package our toothpaste and liquids in our carry-on luggage for inspection, and that the American government cannot process passports to its own citizens in anything resembling a timely manner, a glaring and nationally suicidal truth remains.

In a war on terror, American borders remain less secure than Disney World.

In post-9/11 Washington, try to get into a Senate or House office building – or the White House gift shop - without submitting to a scan and a possible search.

Note the very efficient fence that protects the home of the president.

In a 2004 letter to constituents promoting what much of Congress and the president refer to as ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform,’ the senior Senator from Arizona (and now, again, presidential candidate) John McCain quoted U.S. Border Patrol statistics which estimate that in the year 2002, “nearly four million people crossed our borders illegally”.

About 10,000 a day.

In addition to violation of the law, entering the U.S. “illegally” means uninspected and usually in places other than through authorized ports of entry.

It is not exactly a secret that anyone in the world has only to make it to Mexico and then walk into America by stepping over a barely-there barb wire fence that would not make a respectable or effective cattle pasture in Georgia.

Feel safer?

In a 2006 report from the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security that somehow went un-noted by the mainstream media, anyone willing to take the time could read that the estimates of illegal entries into our nation in 2005 were between four and ten million.

Titled “A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border,” the report offers some other very disturbing findings. Among them:

* During 2005, Border Patrol apprehended 1.2 million illegal aliens, of those 165,000 were from countries other than Mexico (“OTMs” in Border Patrol speak).

* Of the OTMs apprehended, 650 were from what are labeled “special interest countries” – designated by the American intelligence community as countries that could export terrorists.

* Border Patrol estimates that they are able to apprehend 10-30% of the total illegal crossers.

Do the math.

Feel safer?

The report goes on:

* U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigations have revealed that aliens were smuggled from the Middle East to staging areas in Central and South America, before being smuggled illegally into the United States.

* Members of Hezbollah have already entered the United States across the Southwest border.

* Each year hundreds of illegal aliens from countries known to harbor terrorists or promote terrorism are routinely encountered and apprehended attempting to enter the U.S. illegally.

While six years after 9/11, the American president and the Department of Homeland Security promise that “operational control” of the border is coming, the House report tells us “The Mexican drug cartels wield substantial control over the U.S.-Mexican border. Law enforcement on the border agree that very little crosses the respective cartel territories, or “plazas,” along the Southwest border without cartel knowledge, approval, and financial remuneration.”

According to a May report in the Washington Post, “Federal officials became alarmed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks when they discovered they could not account for 314,000 immigrants who had been ordered deported, including 5,046 from countries where al–Qaeda was present.”

Six years later, DHS now says there are more than 600,000 illegal aliens roaming America who are already under deportation orders.

Vigilant indeed.

On September 12, 2007, think about this fascinating reality: Even after 9/11, Immigration and Customs Enforcement periodically apprehends illegal aliens working in “secure” areas all over America – including airports and military bases.

Feel safer?

On September 12, 2007, security is far better in major American newspaper offices and network television buildings than on our borders.

Americans may want to ask what we would have said to anyone, who on September 12, 2001 would have predicted the present state of homeland security six years in the future. And why it is all so sadly true.

Because as Americans, we are America, we may want to ask political candidates the same questions.

Because virtually open borders means bargain wages and an expanded market, here is a hint as to why: Follow the money - even in a war on terror.

Feel safer?

1 DOWN, 11,999,999 TO GO

Ann Coulter does a stupendous job of addressing the most ridiculous of situations in America today.

1 DOWN, 11,999,999 TO GO
August 22, 2007

Mickey Kaus has raised the intriguing possibility that, since Bush's amnesty plan went down to humiliating defeat once Americans got wind of what the elites had planned for us, the Bush administration might respond by intentionally targeting highly sympathetic illegal aliens for deportation "in as clumsy, heartless and lawsuit-inspiring a fashion as possible, in order to create the maximum number of negative headlines."

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff described anti-amnesty Americans as being satisfied with nothing less than "the death penalty" for illegal aliens and recently warned of "some unhappy consequences" unless illegal aliens were granted amnesty. Yes, that Michael Chertoff -- the guy in charge of keeping us safe from foreign invasions.

So it was curious when we were treated this week to a weeping Mexican woman on TV, claiming the U.S. government was tearing her from her infant son and saying she knew the American people would be outraged if she were deported. (I note that her message might have been more effective in English.)

Admittedly, I'd just as soon have Homeland Security focusing on illegal immigrants like the one who shot four promising college kids execution style in Newark, killing three of them, possibly after sexually molesting two of them. Heck, I wouldn't have minded if they had deported Jose Carranza even before his girlfriend accused him of raping her 5-year-old daughter.

Or Ruben Hernandez-Juarez, an illegal alien charged with sexually molesting a 6-year-old boy in Martin County, Fla.

Or Alejandro Bautista, an illegal alien in Cook County, Ill., who was convicted for sexually molesting two teenaged boys.

Or Alejandro Xuya-Sian, the illegal alien who hit a pedestrian with his car in New York and dragged him for nearly a mile before dislodging the victim from his car, throwing him aside and driving off again. (Even more disturbing: Xuya-Sian may not have been wearing his seat belt at the time.)

Or illegal alien Alberto Barajas-Enriquez, who is charged with beating his Michigan neighbor to death with a golf club because the neighbor complained about the constant barking of Enriquez's dog. Asked by police how many times he struck his victim with the golf club, Enriquez said, "Let's see ... five, six ... uh, put me down for a seven."

Or Lucio Sanchez-Martinez, the illegal alien in Ohio charged with sexually molesting a sleeping 8-year-old girl.

For simplicity, I have limited my enumeration of illegal aliens I would like deported to those who were charged or convicted of heinous crimes last week. For illegal aliens charged with child molestation, I had to limit it to two days last week.

Still, if Elvira Arellano is the best they've got to change public opinion on deporting illegal aliens, don't expect public opinion to change anytime soon.

Arellano has already snuck into the country illegally twice (that we know of). After being deported in 1999 -- under an administration that, astonishingly, was more serious about enforcing immigration law than the current one -- she illegally ran across the border again a few days later.

Only after 9/11 was she arrested again and convicted for using a stolen Social Security number to get a job as a cleaning woman at an airport. In lieu of jail time, Arellano was to be deported. Instead she took refuge in a left-wing "church" and began to bellyache about being thrown out again.

Despite living in this country illegally for a decade, Arellano hasn't mastered the most rudimentary English. She doesn't want to assimilate and become a "Mexican-American." She wants to be a Mexican-Mexican living in and off America.

So far, the only thing Arellano has contributed to America is one illegitimate child.

Arellano is part of the advance wave of left-wing, Third World colonization of America. Democrats claim there are "two Americas." If they have their way, there will be two Latin Americas.

Liberals know they're losing the demographic war. Christians have lots of children and adopt lots of children; liberals abort children and encourage the gay lifestyle in anyone with a flair for color.

They can't keep up.

Population expert Nick Eberstadt recently speculated in The Washington Post that a principal reason for America's high fertility rate compared to Europe's is its religiosity. Well, that leaves liberals out.

The Democratic Party is in the fight of its life against a conservative demographic trend. Its only hope is to gerrymander America to make the poorest half of Mexico a state. Only a massive influx of criminals, wards of the state and rioters can save them.

This is why Democrats are obsessed with giving two groups the right to vote: illegal aliens and felons. With Arellano, they get two for the price of one. To liberals, building a wall across the Mexican border is a violation of the Voting Rights Act.

Democrats are counting on illegal immigrants to be the future of their party, their border guards for the new socialist state. At least liberals have a clear mission and know what they're fighting for. Their plan is to destroy America.

Karl Rove's only response is: "I don't want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas."

Arellano can go, and take her kid with her.
