I am an employee in one of the several departments that provide a service to the newsroom of a major metropolitan newspaper: graphics, photography, the legal department, etc. All of us work very closely with reporters and editors but the agenda, policies, and decisions are determined by the reporters and editors. We witness at first-hand the decision-making process while not being primary players in it.

From my intimate point of view, I have become well-acquainted with the informal newsroom culture. I know what is considered funny and what is forbidden to discuss. I know what the spoken and unspoken assumptions are. And I can assure the reader that knee-jerk, left-wing liberalism and extreme political correctness are firmly entrenched. The notion that the newspaper might be liberally biased is considered laughable.

This article must also remain anonymous. I am, to some extent, betraying my employers’ confidence. I do not do so lightly. And in spite of the fact that I disagree with the vast majority of the newsroom journalists on almost every issue, I still like and respect quite a few of them as hard-working, intelligent people. Many of them just need to end their extended intellectual adolescence.

But the mainstream media (MSM) are betraying this country. Knowingly or unknowingly, they are collaborating with the enemies of the United States and all that is decent and sane. And so I feel compelled to do my small part to expose this larger betrayal, sticking to what I personally have observed. I will focus in this article on how race and ethnicity are reported (or, in many cases, NOT reported).

White males are an increasingly rare species in positions of authority in the newsroom. Blacks and Hispanics have been systematically advanced to top department positions over the heads of more qualified white men. White women are the second preferred choice. In a couple of cases with which I’m familiar, blacks or Hispanics were indeed the most qualified candidates. But in most cases, the new chiefs are obviously way out of their depth and quickly become either irrelevant or actually obstructive. They rely on their more experienced employees and end by becoming defensive about their inadequacies. White men who have any options at all generally leave, thus depriving the organization of its most dynamic members.

At my paper, whites in general, and white men in particular, are the subject of the most incredible racial and ethnic slurs and jokes. All other races and ethnicities are treated with an almost pathological sensitivity.

For example: I have worked for years with an Asian colleague, a third-generation American. He and I couldn’t have greater mutual respect for each other. But as long as I have known this man, every year or so he, his wife, or one of his two sons has wrecked at least one vehicle. Sometimes two. None of them has ever been seriously injured, but they are hard on the machinery. One day, after he had to leave work to deal with yet another of his wife’s accidents, I commented, “That guy’s family has more wrecks than a family of circus daredevils.” Immediately, another colleague - white, kneejerk left-wing male—accused me of making “bad Asian driver jokes.” I told him I wasn’t aware of any such category of joke. I was merely commenting on a fact about a specific individual and his family. I also pointed out to my accuser that he was the one who brought up “bad Asian drivers.” He took this as an outrageous insult.

The newsroom bestows the exalted status of hero/victim on all minorities, both as individuals and as groups. Typically, large photo spreads and front page feature stories depict blacks and Hispanics who have achieved at an above-average or even just an average level—in their education, for instance. The writer goes on at length about a normal, everyday person who has done the right thing in spite of difficulties: difficulties that the story will inflate to the point of seeming nearly insuperable.

While this is all very nice, the reader will never see white people written up in this way (unless they are AIDS patients or quadriplegics). Nor will he have it pointed out for him that our high-achieving minority victim/hero is, in general, an exception to the rule. The implication is that all blacks and Hispanics are, or could be, dynamic, high-achieving victim/heroes, while most whites (unless they are leftist fanatics) are racist oppressors who have had everything handed to them.

It would be totally forbidden, by newsroom standards, to observe that modern civilization was invented and advanced by whites and that blacks have a better life here than they would in Africa. It would be forbidden also to mention that Hispanics (and others) are flocking to this country in record numbers from their own overpopulated and badly ruled countries, because our European institutions, laws, science, and industry have allowed us to become the richest and best-governed people on earth, along with the Western European countries and a couple of Asian exceptions. That these people are flocking, and staying, here is evidence of an unbelievably self-destructive degree of tolerance on the part of whites. They get no credit and receive no gratitude in the newsroom.

Every now and then, my paper prints front-page feature spreads depicting the lives of black and Hispanic gang members. These people, who have embraced a life that is defined by a violent criminal ethic, are deliberately posed to show the reader tragic, heroic, proud people bound together by love for each other and their people - whom in fact they mercilessly victimize - bravely united in a struggle against the uncool and oppressive white citizenry. They are “fighting” an impersonal, hostile culture that “forces” them into behavior destructive of themselves and, incidentally, of the entire social fabric. (Liberals, you see, love a beautiful loser who has a violent temper. It’s how the middle-class, liberal, overgrown adolescent likes to imagine himself.)

The paper also publishes stories and graphics about the erosion of English as our common tongue. These stories invariably portray the cultural balkanization of the United States as a positive development! The unending flow of illegal aliens coming here in violation of our laws, and the Mexican government’s intolerable demand that we embrace them all unconditionally, are either reported approvingly in a prominent place on the front page or simply as normal everyday events.

Staff writers praise our local high-crime neighborhoods that resemble some poverty-stricken third-world hell for their “vital”, “lively”, and “diverse” mix of cultures and languages. The greater the number of languages spoken in these neighborhoods, the more marvelous they are, my employers believe. The fact that these mutually hostile people inhabit a drug-infested danger zone is glossed over—except, again, to depict the crime and violence as some sort of impersonal force or as a symptom of white malevolence.

One of these neighborhoods near downtown, mostly populated by blacks, Hispanics, and newly-arrived Asians, has the shabby deco appeal that inevitably attracts the aesthetically-sensitive liberal. Therefore it was decided by the liberal Democratic politicians that this, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in town, would become the new city arts center. All the downtown galleries would be encouraged and helped to move in behind the boarded-up storefronts. Artists would be urged to move into the upstairs areas converted into lofts.

When the artists began moving into these spaces, they were shocked to find that the neighborhood inhabitants were not friendly. The inhabitants were, however, attracted by the artists’ possessions. Many arts people were attacked and their spaces burglarized. At least one was killed during an armed robbery as he settled into his trendy new digs. Most art patrons, though, had the sense to stay out of the neighborhood. As a result, several of the galleries failed. Our artificial Left Bank was abandoned. Less than five years later, the neighborhood is as much of a slum as it was before.

My newspaper has had very little to say about the “arts center” since it began to fail. It has printed no stories about the stupidity of it all, or the wasted money. When the failure is mentioned, it is blamed on middle-class whites for being insufficiently supportive of a noble community effort.

On many occasions I have had a hand in stories or serials about local crime. In all of these projects, I have been able to see the raw statistics, including the racial and ethnic breakdown of both criminals and victims. Of course, the criminals and victims were disproportionately black and Hispanic. But in every case the breakdown statistics were simply left out of the story, without any debate whatever about the omission.

Once, when the artist in charge of graphics presented charts displaying the unwelcome data, he was immediately told to forget about it by an embarrassed and scandalized editor. There was debate, however, as to whether to publish a map showing the worst neighborhoods, by census tract, in terms of number of crimes committed annually. There was tremendous anxiety that it would anger the minority mouthpieces in these neighborhoods. This anxiety was justified. Black and Hispanic pressure groups pitched the usual tantrums.

The newsroom’s portrayal of minorities versus the police offers what perhaps is the most disgusting display. Invariably, my paper portrays police as ignorant hillbillies. The typical reporter or editor seeing videotape of cops forcibly subduing a dangerous criminal condemns the police. He never mentions, in writing about these incidents, that they are rightly trained to use force in a way that minimizes the chance of harm to themselves. Never does a front-page feature on the police appear explaining that they are fallible human beings doing an impossible job, dealing every day with the scum of the earth of all races. And doing this job, furthermore, in the face of public opposition from the very people who have the most to lose. Any sort of force used by constituted authority is automatically sneered at in our newsroom as an act of oppression if it is directed at a member of a minority, a rock star, a drug addict, or a left-wing protester.

I could go on and on about the refusal to tell the truth about minority crime rates. I could mention that the recent dispossession and massacre of WHITE Zimbabweans has gotten little or no coverage at all. I could mention the headline on the front page earlier this year that ran WHITE MAN ATTACKS BLACKS. Whites attacking blacks are rare occurrences, an exception to the rule. Nevertheless the story was given front-page display as if it were just the latest in a racist epidemic. It was not, and never will be, balanced by a front-page story reflecting the reality that blacks attack whites far more often than whites attack blacks.

[Check here: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/cvusst.htm , then scroll to 2005 "Victims & Offenders" ......and more stats HERE]

The journalists where I work have abandoned the concept of personal responsibility, and ignore the reality that contradicts their wishful thinking. They regard the exception as the rule, the loser as the winner, the criminal as the hero, the sick as the healthy, and the winner as the oppressor. Here, as in newsrooms across the country, left-wing revolutionaries and their deluded, intimidated followers are writing the news and defining the mainstream view of reality.

If this situation continues very much longer, the United States will not endure as a civilization, as a geopolitical entity, or even as a society.

And those thoughtlessly tearing the U.S. down today will be among those to regret its passing when it’s gone. >>Source

The smiling children giggled as they patted the young goat on its head and tickled it behind the ears. Some of the more boisterous ones tried to clamber onto the animal’s back but were soon shaken off with a quick wiggle of its bottom.

It could have been a happy scene from a family zoo anywhere in the world but for what happened next.

A man hoisted up the goat and nonchalantly threw it over a wall into a pit full of hungry lions. The poor goat tried to run for its life, but it didn’t stand a chance. The lions quickly surrounded it and started tearing at its flesh. “Oohs” and “aahs” filled the air as the children watched the goat being ripped limb from limb. Some started to clap silently with a look of wonder in their eyes.

The scenes witnessed at Badaltearing Safari Park in China are rapidly becoming a normal day out for many Chinese families. Baying crowds now gather in zoos across the country to watch animals being torn to pieces by lions and tigers.

Just an hour’s drive from the main Olympic attractions in Beijing, Badaling is in many ways a typical Chinese zoo. Next to the main slaughter arena is a restaurant where families can dine on braised dog while watching cows and goats being disembowelled by lions.

The zoo also encourages visitors to “fish” for lions using live chickens as bait. For just £2 ($4.00), giggling visitors tie terrified chickens onto bamboo rods and dangle them in front of the lions, just as a cat owner might tease their pet with a toy. During one visit, a woman managed to taunt the big cats with a petrified chicken for five minutes before a lion managed to grab the bird in its jaws. The crowd then applauded as the bird flapped its wings pathetically in a futile bid to escape. The lion eventually grew bored and crushed the terrified creature to death.

The tourists were then herded onto buses and driven through the lions’ compound to watch an equally cruel spectacle. The buses have specially designed chutes down which you can push live chickens and watch as they are torn to shreds. Once again, children are encouraged to take part in the slaughter.

“It’s almost a form of child abuse,” says Carol McKenna of the OneVoice animal welfare group. “The cruelty of Chinese zoos is disgusting, but think of the impact on the children watching it. What kind of future is there for China if its children think this kind of cruelty is normal? “In China, if you love animals you want to kill yourself every day out of despair.”

But the cruelty of Badaling doesn’t stop with animals torn apart. For those who can still stomach it, the zoo has numerous traumatised animals to gawp (gape) at. A pair of endangered moon bears with rusting steel nose rings are chained up in cages so small that they cannot even turn around. One has clearly gone mad and spends most of its time shaking its head and bashing into the walls of its prison. There are numerous other creatures, including tigers, which also appear to have been driven insane by captivity. Predictably, they are kept in cramped, filthy conditions. >>Continued HERE

The last testament of Flashman’s creator

[...]

Political correctness is about denial, usually in the weasel circumlocutory jargon which distorts and evades and seldom stands up to honest analysis.

It comes in many guises, some of them so effective that the PC can be difficult to detect. The silly euphemisms, apparently harmless, but forever dripping to wear away common sense—the naivete of the phrase “a caring force for the future” on Remembrance poppy trays, which suggests that the army is some kind of peace corps, when in fact its true function is killing.

The continual attempt to soften and sanitise the harsh realities of life in the name of liberalism, in an effort to suppress truths unwelcome to the PC mind; the social engineering which plays down Christianity, demanding equal status for alien religions.

The selective distortions of history, so beloved by New Labour, denigrating Britain’s past with such propaganda as hopelessly unbalanced accounts of the slave trade, laying all the blame on the white races, but carefully censoring the truth that not a slave could have come out of Africa without the active assistance of black slavers, and that the trade was only finally suppressed by the Royal Navy virtually single-handed.

In schools, the waging of war against examinations as “elitist” exercises which will undermine the confidence of those who fail—what an intelligent way to prepare children for real life in which competition and failure are inevitable, since both are what life, if not liberal lunacy, is about.

PC also demands that “stress”, which used to be coped with by less sensitive generations, should now be compensated by huge cash payments lavished on griping incompetents who can’t do their jobs, and on policemen and firemen “traumatised” by the normal hazards of work which their predecessors took for granted.

Furthermore, it makes grieving part of the national culture, as it was on such a nauseating scale when large areas were carpeted in rotting vegetation in “mourning” for the Princess of Wales; and it insists that anyone suffering ordinary hardship should be regarded as a “victim”—and, of course, be paid for it.

That PC should have become acceptable in Britain is a glaring symptom of the country’s decline.

No generation has seen their country so altered, so turned upside down, as children like me born in the 20 years between the two world wars. In our adult lives Britain’s entire national spirit, its philosophy, values and standards, have changed beyond belief.

Probably no country on earth has experienced such a revolution in thought and outlook and behaviour in so short a space.

Other lands have known what seem to be greater upheavals, the result of wars and revolutions, but these do not compare with the experience of a country which passed in less than a lifetime from being the mightiest empire in history, governing a quarter of mankind, to being a feeble little offshore island whose so-called leaders have lost the will and the courage, indeed the ability, to govern at all.

This is not a lament for past imperial glory, though I regret its inevitable passing, nor is it the raging of a die-hard Conservative.

I loathe all political parties, which I regard as inventions of the devil. My favourite prime minister was Sir Alec Douglas-Home, not because he was on the Right, but because he spent a year in office without, on his own admission, doing a damned thing.

This would not commend him to New Labour, who count all time lost when they’re not wrecking the country.

I am deeply concerned for the United Kingdom and its future. I look at the old country as it was in my youth and as it is today and, to use a fine Scots word, I am scunnered.

I know that some things are wonderfully better than they used to be: the new miracles of surgery, public attitudes to the disabled, the health and well-being of children, intelligent concern for the environment, the massive strides in science and technology.

Yes, there are material blessings and benefits innumerable which were unknown in our youth.

But much has deteriorated. The United Kingdom has begun to look more like a Third World country, shabby, littered, ugly, run down, without purpose or direction, misruled by a typical Third World government, corrupt, incompetent and undemocratic.

My generation has seen the decay of ordinary morality, standards of decency, sportsmanship, politeness, respect for the law, family values, politics and education and religion, the very character of the British.

Oh, how Blimpish this must sound to modern ears, how out of date, how blind to “the need for change and the novelty of a new age”. But don’t worry about me. It’s the present generation with their permissive society, their anything-goes philosophy, and their generally laid-back, inyerface attitude I feel sorry for.

They regard themselves as a completely liberated society when in fact they (are not.)
Indeed, there may never have been such an enslaved generation, in thrall to hang-ups, taboos, restrictions and oppressions unknown to their ancestors (to say nothing of being neck-deep in debt, thanks to a moneylender’s economy).

We were freer by far 50 years ago—yes, even with conscription, censorship, direction of labour, rationing, and shortages of everything that nowadays is regarded as essential to enjoyment.

We still had liberty beyond modern understanding because we had other freedoms, the really important ones, that are denied to the youth of today.

We could say what we liked; they can’t. We were not subject to the aggressive pressure of special-interest minority groups; they are. We had no worries about race or sexual orientation; they have. We could, and did, differ from fashionable opinion with impunity, and would have laughed PC to scorn, had our society been weak and stupid enough to let it exist.

We had available to us an education system, public and private, that was the envy of the world. We had little reason to fear being mugged or raped (killed in war, maybe, but that was an acceptable hazard).

Our children could play in street and country in safety. We had few problems with bullies because society knew how to deal with bullying and was not afraid to punish it in ways that would send today’s progressives into hysterics.

We did not know the stifling tyranny of a liberal establishment, determined to impose its views, and beginning to resemble George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth.

Above all, we knew who we were and we lived in the knowledge that certain values and standards held true, and that our country, with all its faults and need for reforms, was sound at heart. >>FULL ARTICLE HERE

The Great Escape From Britain

Celebrated author Mark Steyn has been summoned to appear before two Canadian judicial panels on charges linked to his book “America Alone.”The book, a No. 1 bestseller in Canada, argues that Western nations are succumbing to an Islamist imperialist threat. The fact that charges based on it are proceeding apace proves his point.

Steyn, who won the 2006 Eric Breindel Journalism Award (co-sponsored by The Post and its parent, News Corp), writes for dozens of publications on several continents. After the Canadian general-interest magazine Maclean’s reprinted a chapter from the book, five (5) Muslim law-school students acting through the auspices of the Canadian Islamic Congress, demanded that the magazine be punished for spreading “hatred and contempt” for Muslims.

The plaintiffs allege that Maclean’s advocated, among other things, the notion that Islamic culture is incompatible with Canada’s liberalized, Western civilization. They insist such a notion is untrue and, in effect, want opinions like that banned from publication.

Two separate panels, the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal and the Canadian Human Rights Commission, have agreed to hear the case. These bodies are empowered to hear and rule on cases of purported “hate speech.”

Of course, a ban on opinions - even disagreeable ones - is the very antithesis of the Western tradition of FREE SPEECH and FREEDOM of the PRESS.

Indeed, this whole process of dragging Steyn and the magazine before two separate human-rights bodies for the “crime” of expressing an opinion is a good illustration of precisely what he was talking about. If Maclean’s, Canada’s top-selling magazine, is found “guilty,” it could face financial or other penalties. And the affair could have a devastating impact on opinion journalism in Canada generally.

As it happens, Canadian human-rights commissions have already come down hard on those whose writings they dislike, like critics of gay rights. Nor should Americans dismiss this campaign against Steyn and Maclean’s as merely another Canadian eccentricity. Speech cops in America, too, are forever attempting similar efforts - most visibly, on college campuses.

In fact, New York City itself has a human-rights panel that tries to stamp out anything deemed too politically incorrect. Since 9/11, Americans have been alert to the threat of terror from radical Islamists. But there’s been all too little concern for a creeping accommodation of radical Islamist tenets, like curbs on critical opinions. That needs to change. >>NEW YORK POST

Many bogus asylum applicants are arriving in IRELAND armed with an information pack on how to beat the system.

An investigation into asylum seeker abuses has also uncovered elaborate scams being used by the illegals to evade detection by immigration authorities.

The investigation, codenamed Operation Gull, is a joint exercise involving the Gardai, the Department of Social and Family Affairs, the UK Borders and Immigration Agency and the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

An estimated 12% of illegal migrants exposed by Operation Gull had been travelling on false documents. Officials said last night that bogus papers were also being used by criminals to move between countries. A recent case involved an Algerian who had been deported from the UK after a conviction and prison sentence for rape. With the help of his brother, he obtained a false French passport and flew from Algiers to Paris and then to Dublin. He was then intercepted by Gull investigators in Belfast.

Nigerians, who consistently comprise the biggest single nationality claiming asylum in Ireland, are also by far the largest single national group encountered in the operation. Many of the offenders have already claimed asylum here and are making a second attempt with the help of their information packs.

Others use a carousel method to claim benefits here, and in the UK, by using a number of passports to travel between the two jurisdictions. The carousels are mainly used by Nigerians, Ethiopians, Georgians and Pakistanis.

Gull uncovered evidence of Moldovians on false Lithuanian documents, who had gained entry to the UK at Dover and were bound for Ireland to work illegally.

Investigators established that their journey had been organised by a “facilitator”.

It has also been determined that 80% of applicants, who claimed they arrived here by air, particularly those from Nigeria, Georgia and Dem. Republic of Congo did not have identity documents.

A decade ago, Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman admonished the Wall Street Journal for its idée fixe on open-border immigration policy. “It’s just obvious you can’t have free immigration AND a welfare state,” he warned.

Good Intentions Are Not Enough

High rates of welfare benefits are making the British job market more attractive to foreign workers, an immigration watchdog has said.

BETTER OFF claiming £29,096 ($60,000) a year in WELFARE BENEFITS!

This British-Pakistani family’s story HERE

Migrationwatch said there was little incentive for many unemployed benefit claimants to get a job because they would hardly be better off for working. After analysing the benefits system, the group said a family with two children, for example, would get only 30 pounds a week more working on the minimum wage rather than claiming benefits.

It claimed this was one of the reasons more than a million immigrants had come to work in Britain in the last 10 years, despite a pool of millions more Jobseekers Allowance claimants already in the UK.

Migrationwatch chairman Sir Andrew Green said: “We keep hearing that we need immigrants to do the jobs that the British won’t do. “It has been suspected for some time that benefit levels are a real disincentive to take work that is on offer and our research spells out why this may be so.” Sir Andrew said other factors to take into account included the flexibility of many immigrants who are looking for work.

But he added: “An important factor is that wages are now so close to benefits that there is very little financial incentive for unskilled British workers to find a job. By contrast, Poles have very strong financial motivation. “On the minimum wage in Britain they are earning four to five times what they would earn at home and, by living in multi-occupancy, they can afford to send considerable sums of money back to their families - according to the National Bank of Poland, Polish migrants in the UK are sending home about 9 million pounds a day.”

Work and Pensions Secretary Peter Hain said unemployment benefit claimants had fallen since Labour came to power and insisted that immigration had assisted growth. >>More

Short News clip of MS-13 activity

By Kelly Sinoski Vancouver Sun

A Salvadoran member of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha-13 gang is living in British Columbia despite fears by immigration officials that the gang has a “single brutal purpose” of carrying out criminal activity by any means.

Roberto Ernesto Contreras Mendoza (33 yrs) listed his address as a suite in a downtown Vancouver hotel while he applied for refugee status in a string of applications, appeals and, most recently, a judicial review. Mendoza’s body is covered in vivid tattoos marking him as a walking billboard for the Mara Salvatrucha-13 gang.

He was ordered deported in February after being deemed inadmissible because of his gang connections and is awaiting results of a pre-removal risk assessment.

Mendoza, who is out on bail, is also scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court next month on charges of assault and uttering threats in connection with an October incident involving a woman in Surrey. Mendoza can’t be deported until his criminal charges have been dealt with.

“Even if the removal order was ready, the criminal business in the courts has to be dealt with prior to removal,” Immigration Refugee Board spokeswoman Melissa Anderson said.

Mendoza was last detained by the IRB in October 2006 but released after 48 hours. “He certainly hasn’t been on our radar screens,” Anderson said.

Police have claimed for years that MS-13 — known for murder, kidnapping, rape, extortion and drug trafficking in El Salvador — is starting to infiltrate north from the U.S. into Canada.

Mendoza’s applications to the Immigration Review Board give a rare glimpse into the gang’s inner workings. He claims he was coerced into the gang, which dubbed him “Darky” and baptized him with a 14-second beating. He was then tattooed with 11 different gang markings. Among the most prominent are two masks — one smiling, one sad — on his right arm. The sad face reflects time in prison and the loss of a relative, while the happy face reflects good times with the family. His other tattoos include the name Mara Salvatrucha with the number 13 across his shoulder and a spider web and a billiard ball with the number 13 on his chest.

Mendoza’s story is full of contradictions about why and when he joined. He was coerced, he told one immigration officer; he joined because he was fed up with injustice towards the poor, he told another.

Sometime in the 1980s, MS-13 gang members were deported in droves to El Salvador from Los Angeles, where they had formed MS-13 to protect themselves against black and Latino street gangs.

The members, covered in elaborate tattoos, are usually between ages of 11 and 40, according to immigration documents.

“Tattooed, strangely dressed and oozing a worldly cool, the returnees became apostles of mayhem. They found ready converts, with U.S. trained gangsters offering rootless boys a sense of family,” said an article by the Maldon Institute, a U.S. think tank, which was cited as evidence in Mendoza’s refugee hearing. “They provided income to those with little hope of finding well paying jobs. Youths joined by the thousands.”

Mendoza said after the first of two daughters was born, he’d had enough. At one point, he said the gang had raped his sister and cut off his finger. He also claims he was shot and stabbed in 2005 by eight to 19 “Maras.” When asked what he feared most about returning home to El Salvador, he cited police units called La Sombra Negra (Black Shadow) and Mane Dure (Firm Hand). “The Sombra Negra would kill me because I have tattoos. They kill everybody with tattoos,” he said in a handwritten personal information form submitted to the Immigration and Refugee Board in October 2005.

In 2000, Mendoza hopped a bus to Guatemala, hitched a lift on a freight train to Mexico and walked across the border into the U.S., where where he worked odd jobs from Salt Lake City to Seattle. He “blew the border” into British Columbia at Sumas in 2005, seeking convention refugee status, claiming he would be killed or tortured if he returned to his native land. But immigration officials didn’t buy his story, saying he had changed it to minimize his gang involvement.

This was partly based on evidence from Hector Alicia, a New York gang investigator who told a hearing that a member of the Mara Salvatrucha cannot be “jumped in” unless they want to be involved.

Although Mendoza won a reprieve in April 2006, subsequent appeals and applications for refugee status have been denied due to his gang connections. “It is clear that the Mara Salvatrucha has a single brutal purpose, that of carrying out criminal activity by whatever means it chooses,” the Immigration Appeal Division said in an October 2006 ruling. >>Source

[Deport this foreign gangster immediately! What more has to be said?? Allowing this one parasitical gang member into our country and to drag us through this "refugee" process at great monetary cost, could easily set a precedent by allowing a chain migration of hundreds of other violent MS-13 gangsters. We don't need to import more gangsters from other countries, when the police are battling our own homegrown criminals.

In contrast, skilled and law abiding European tradesmen are waiting up to 4 or 5 years for a proper visa to immigrate to Canada ...while we waste our attention and precious tax dollars on this uninvited foreign gangster.

Just add him to the list of 40,000 missing deportees who've been given their walking papers, but still remain in Canada due to our broken refugee 'system' that is abused by the tens of thousands of other dubious "refugee" claimants. -Editor-]

In school we learned that the (U.S.) Civil War was fought over the slavery issue. Abraham Lincoln was a “hero” because he freed the slaves. Actually, as we discover, when he declared war on the southern states which decided to secede from the Union, old Abe violated the Constitution allegedly to “preserve the Union.” The Civil War was in reality the War for Southern Independence - freedom from rigid economic controls by northern industrialists who influenced government - NOT an issue of slavery. Most importantly the War for Southern Independence expressed the inviolable right of the people to be self-governing. States which voluntarily “joined” the Union of States retained the power to withdraw if it was deemed necessary. Those who say otherwise are ignorant or liars.

The U.S. Congress, in compliance with Bill Clinton’s edict, (was) contemplating legislation which would make reparations to ancestors of slaves. Aside from the insanity of such an idea you will discover upon reading Alabama State Senator Davison’s speech that if reparations were to be made they should be made to WASPs because our ancestors were slaves long before the Africans… and for much longer. Along with this ridiculous plan, is a concerted push to ban the flag of the Confederate States of America… the southern flag.

We should keep in mind that the power elite which is orchestrating the present situation are progeny of the same elite which set into motion the events which promulgated the war. Southerners did not want war. Hired professional agitators manipulated the unsophisticated who were uneducated in the ways of propaganda. When the war started - as was expected - able bodied men, both black and white, took up arms to defend their homes and homeland.

Our intent in presenting information is not to create diversionary issues. Talk of reparations to ancestors of African slaves and the present emphasis on removing all traces of the Confederate flag is merely another tactic to reinvent history, to obliterate the truth and create hatred between races. Hopefully, as we discover how we were maneuvered into the existing chaos we’ll give up the lies… let go our belief in the invincible power of a handful of godless lunatics and begin reclaiming our Heritage as children of our Father / Creator. >>Source

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, in his debate with Senator Douglas at Quincy, IL, on Oct. 13, 1858 and quoted in Abraham Lincoln - Complete Works, published by The Century Co., 1894, Vol. I, page 273 stated:
“I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the White and Black races - that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes - nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to inter-marry with White people; and I will say in addition to this that there ia a physical difference between the White and Black races which will ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality, and in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the White race.”
