Busting Out The Strong Black Woman Myth

Let me warn you in advance I'm about to put one of our myths and cultural beliefs on front street and blast it away.

It's the STRONG BLACK WOMAN myth.

Yes I am shouting, because yes I feel that strongly about it. You hear black woman all the time go on and on about how they are 'strong black women' and raising their daughters to be 'strong black women', as if that's something to be proud of.

IT'S NOT.

Because being a 'strong black woman' means you put up with and 'survive' a whole lot of crazy, awful, disturbing and often disgusting bull. As a black woman who is definitely not strong, I can tell you that whole strong black woman stuff is a myth that causes untold misery and self-inflicted oppression to black women. All because we are raised to think this is how we are, and our culture, our very survival rests on it.

It's ok to not be a strong black woman; to not be able to take all the abuse the world heaps on us and keep on trucking along and it's ok to not want to be strong enough to take it and deal with it. It's ok to be a black woman who needs people, who needs a man to help raise children, who needs a partner/significant other, who needs close friends and family for support just like any other person.

That whole 'strong black woman' mess aggravates my nerves. From what I see it just means black women are expected by black culture to be alone and struggle terribly and not need other people, especially men and especially in raising our children. It's a deeply entrenched idea in African-American culture that hurts us all. It devalues our very humanity, in my opinion, as well as our femininity.

Never thought that being a strong black woman was in any way negative? Think about it, when have you ever heard it used to describe a positive situation a black woman was in? Any time I hear it, it's in reference to being poor, or being a single mom, or experiencing racism, or overcoming getting beat up or raped or something else tragic. We black women are just supposed to be able to walk off any old shoddy treatment and hold it together, because we are so 'strong'.

Not me. I will gladly take being called weak because you know what? Trying to be a strong black woman when I was young and believing that mess nearly made me lose my mind. Call me a weak black woman, I don't care. Call me needy, and I will tell you that's right. I am needy, I'm a human being!

I need a man
I need a man to help me raise my kids
I need friends
I need emotional support
I need closeness
I need tenderness
I need to be treated with respect
I need to be treated with kindness
I need a shoulder to cry on
I need warm smiles and soft touches
I need so very much

And guess what...I have what I need. Do you? Take the strong black woman cape off because you are not superman and you really cannot fly. You are nobody's workhorse or drudge and you can have the love and friendship community you need, want, and crave. I think so many black women hold onto this idea because we think if we let it go, and allow ourselves to be vulnerable, there will be nobody and nothing there and we will get hurt.

But aren't you getting hurt living the strong black woman myth now? In your self-imposed isolation denying that you need regular human contact, love and partnership, aren't you hurting, and alone? When you go to an early grave because of hypertension or other stress-related disorders because you ran yourself ragged trying to prove how 'strong' you really are, who will you be helping? Who will you be showing? The world? The same world that supposedly does not care about you and that you supposedly don't need?

You can choose to let this myth go. Breathe deep, and let it go. Set it down gently...then kick it in the gutter.

There, you feel better already, right?

Judge won't toss confession because English was spoken
By Jamie Satterfield (Contact)
Tuesday, January 15, 2008

Language was no barrier to the confessions of two Mexicans accused of kidnapping and torturing a Louisville contractor to extort money, a federal magistrate judge has ruled.

U.S. District Magistrate Judge Clifford Shirley is refusing in an order filed Friday to toss out the alleged confessions of Francisco Morales Angeles, 28, and Jose Sanchez, 18, as evidence against them.

The pair via defense attorneys Tracy Jackson Smith and Mike Whalen had claimed their limited command of the English language kept them from understanding their legal rights when the pair confessed to the June car*******, kidnapping and torture in West Knox County and a similar crime in Tulsa, Okla.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracy Stone had countered with testimony that Sanchez could read and speak English and made it clear he knew what legal rights he was signing away when he agreed to be interviewed by the FBI, and that Angeles was advised of his rights in Spanish.

Angeles has been linked by Sanchez to the violent gang, known as the Zetas, of former Mexican army commandoes working for drug cartels. The two men are accused of holding Jose Ignacio Ortega Garcia hostage inside a West Knox County hotel room for nine days in a bid to extort money from Garcia, his relatives and business associates.

A crime is increasingly on the rise across the United States in which Hispanics, often working for drug cartels, target other Hispanics, who are kidnapped, tortured and held for ransom. In most cases, the victims are believed to have cash readily available either through work as immigrant smugglers or involvement in the drug trade. It is not clear why Garcia was targeted.

That Garcia suffered before he managed to escape is without question. A probe by Knox County Sheriff's Office Detective Heather Reyda and FBI Agent Buddy Early showed that Garcia was burned, beaten, cut, threatened and psychologically tortured. He managed to escape after Sanchez, left alone by Angeles to guard Garcia, fell asleep following a marathon video-gaming binge, Early wrote in a federal complaint.

Garcia's attackers also escaped but were nabbed a month later in Houston, according to prior court testimony.

Whalen argued at a recent hearing that FBI Agent Glenn Gregory, who elicited Sanchez's confession after he was arrested leaving a taco stand in Houston, violated Sanchez's rights by explaining his constitutional rights in English.

Whalen argued that Sanchez's understanding of English was faulty at best, evidenced by his inability to write some words in English and his confusion at the definition of the word "coercion."

Shirley disagreed, ruling that Sanchez had no trouble understanding English as spoken aloud and was able to read aloud a form about his rights written in English. When he stumbled over the word "coercion," Gregory gave him a clear, succinct definition that Sanchez signaled he understood, the judge opined.

"The court finds Agent Gregory's advice of (Sanchez's) rights was exemplary and thorough," Shirley wrote.

Shirley noted that Gregory was not convinced, however, that Angeles understood English as well as Sanchez and called in Spanish-speaking Agent Angelo Guzman to take over.

Guzman read Angeles' rights to him in Spanish and provided Angeles a copy of his rights also written in Spanish, testimony showed.

"Guzman reviewed the rights waiver form with Angeles in Spanish and allowed him time to read it himself," Shirley wrote. "Angeles asked no questions, signed the form and proceeded with his statement."

However, Shirley is blocking Stone from using a brief statement Angeles made before he was advised of his rights in which he identified a photograph of Garcia.

Angeles was being booked into jail at the time and had not been told yet that he had a right to an attorney and did not have to answer any questions posed by the agents.

"These statements were clearly made without the benefit of warnings (about his constitutional right to remain silent)," Shirley ruled.

The pair is set to stand trial in February.

Get tougher on gangs in Florida, grand jury urges
Panel recommends more money, changes in the law

By Linda Kleindienst and John Holland | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
January 16, 2008

TALLAHASSEE - A surge in violent crime across Florida is the direct result of increased gang activity that should be battled with more state dollars and tougher prosecution, according to an interim report from a statewide grand jury.

While painting a sordid picture of how gangs operate in Florida, using assault weapons and fists to intimidate, the 56-page report delivered to the state Supreme Court on Tuesday said gangs are growing at an "increasingly alarming" rate, and placed much of the blame on illegal immigration.

"Although gang violence is often 'homegrown,' there is no doubt in our minds that much of our gang problem has been imported through illegal immigration," said the report, which based the finding on testimony the grand jury heard from witnesses.

The high court impaneled the 18-member grand jury last June at the request of Gov. Charlie Crist to investigate a spike in gang activity in Florida, particularly the southern counties.

The grand jury found that gangs are using the Internet, particularly MySpace and other social networking sites, to recruit new members and are trying to infiltrate the military and law enforcement academies to get advanced weapons training. The report also points out that the gangs are branching out into white collar crimes such as identity theft and fraud.

Attorney General Bill McCollum said Florida is facing what is likely the nation's fastest-growing gang problem, with at least 1,500 gangs with more than 65,000 members.

"Florida has a major gang problem," McCollum said during a news conference at which he unveiled the report. "Over the last 20 to 25 years, the national statistics show Florida has probably had the greatest growth of gangs and gang violence of any state in the union."

The grand jury, based in West Palm Beach, in mid-December indicted 10 reputed members of a dangerous statewide gang that has taken root in Westgate, a neighborhood west of West Palm Beach.

In a letter to Crist that accompanied the report, Statewide Prosecutor Bill Shepherd emphasized that increased enforcement tools and long-term joint investigations are critical to stemming the tide of gang-related violence.

"They control neighborhoods and oppress our citizens by using violence and threats," he said. "I have spoken to a witness who told me very matter of factly that if his fellow gang members knew he was talking, they would surely kill him in front of his young children."

The grand jury's recommendations include: a better focus on acknowledging and resolving gang problems at all levels of government; stopping automatic pre-trial releases so that accused gang members cannot immediately intimidate witnesses; rewriting the state's gang law, which is restrictive in how it defines a gang member; better sharing of gang information among all state law enforcement agencies; and the hiring of specialized prosecutors and investigators to handle gang-related cases.

Broward County has a long-standing gang task force made up of prosecutors, Broward Sheriff's detectives and local law enforcement agencies

San Francisco Chronicle
Daly City police seeking suspect in pry-bar beating of elderly woman

John Coté, Chronicle Staff Writer

Friday, January 18, 2008

(01-17) 18:29 PST DALY CITY - Police are searching for a 28-year-old South San Francisco man suspected of savagely beating a 78-year-old widow inside her Daly City home and leaving her for dead after she surprised him during a robbery attempt.

The woman was upgraded today to critical condition at a local hospital after she suffered life-threatening injuries from being beaten in the face and head with a metal pry bar Saturday, Daly City police said.

They identified the suspect in the attack as Jose Perez-Gonza***, 28, an illegal alien originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, who has been living in South San Francisco.

Perez-Gonza*** may be employed as a house painter in the San Jose area and may frequent exercise gyms in San Francisco during the early evenings, police said.

He has tattoos of a black-and-red Harley Davidson motorcycle emblem and a black dragon band on his right arm. He may also have "Mexico" tattooed in large letters running up his inner right forearm, police said.

Perez-Gonza*** - who has used the names Antonio Perez, Moses Omar Lopez-Padilla, Jose De Jesus Perez-Gonza*** and Juan Arellano - is also a suspect in the Dec. 21 burglary of a Pacifica home, Daly City police Lt. Jay Morena said.

Police did not say how they had focused Perez-Gonza*** as a suspect.

The Daly City attack came after the burglar had apparently telephoned the victim earlier in the day and posed as a package deliveryman in an effort to determine when the woman was going to be home, police said.

"This was not a random burglary," Morena said. But he added that police suspect the burglar tried to strike when no one was home.

"It was not a home invasion-type of burglary," Morena said. "The phone call was to find when she wouldn't be there."

Dobbs: Time to free Ramos and Compean

Story Highlights
Senators chair hearing, imply U.S. attorney blatantly abused power

Agents sentenced for shooting fleeing drug smuggler, alleged cover-up

Illegal alien drug smuggler received immunity for testimony against agents

By Lou Dobbs
CNN

Lou Dobbs' commentary appears weekly on CNN.com.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- There was an unusual spectacle in the nation's capital Tuesday, downright rare, in fact: U.S. Senators seeking truth, and justice, and taking action. And they deserve great credit and thanks.


Lou Dobbs says two convicted border patrol agents should be released from prison immediately.

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, led by Dianne Feinstein, focused on the reasons for the prosecution of two Border Patrol agents now serving long sentences in federal prison. Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean were given terms of 11 and 12 years respectively on their convictions for shooting an illegal alien drug smuggler.

Senator Feinstein, and Senators Jeff Sessions, John Cornyn, Jon Kyl and Tom Coburn demanded answers of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, who chose to prosecute Compean and Ramos and give that illegal alien drug smuggler blanket immunity to testify against the men.

Sutton's decision to prosecute the agents, to file attempted murder charges against them and seek harsh mandatory prison sentences was simply an outrage. Senators Feinstein, Sessions and Cornyn took Sutton to task over what they clearly see now as a blatant abuse of prosecutorial power and strongly questioned the decision to give immunity to a known illegal alien drug smuggler. Sutton's office gave the smuggler immunity in order to prosecute the two agents who had pursued him in a high-speed chase, which ultimately resulted in the wounding of the drug dealer who had ditched his van, loaded with hundreds of pounds of drugs, and ran from the agents.

I have maintained throughout that the prosecution of these two agents was unwarranted, that sufficient facts were in dispute that the case should never have been brought to trial. The two Border Patrol agents received excessive sentences by any reasonable standard of justice. But reason did not prevail, and the Senate Judiciary Committee has begun the process of righting this wrong.

The agents were serving their nation in a war zone along our southern border. The fact is Mexico remains the primary corridor for drugs entering the United States. Mexico is the principal source of heroin, cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines into this country. Between 70 and 90 percent of cocaine entering the United States from South America passed through mainland Mexico or its waters. Heroin brought in from Mexico accounts for about 30 percent of the U.S. market, despite Mexico's relatively small percentage of worldwide production. Mexican traffickers continued to dominate drug distribution in the United States, controlling most of the primary distribution centers. Our border with Mexico is the main battlefield in the war against drugs, and the federal government has treated Ramos and Compean with contempt rather than gratitude for their service on the front lines of that war.

Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar Tuesday testified at the hearing that from February 1, 2005 to June 30, 2007, there were 1,982 incidents where Border Patrol agents have been assaulted. These assaults include rock throwing, physical assaults, vehicular assaults as well as shootings. In response, Border Patrol agents have responded with the use of deadly force on 116 occasions, with 144 agents discharging their weapons during these 116 incidents.

Aguilar also testified that 13 assailants died as a result, and 15 incidents ended with the assailants being wounded. Of the 144 agents involved, comprehensive investigations were formally conducted, and not a single agent has been criminally prosecuted for their actions. Then why in the world did Sutton choose to prosecute agents in this case? The senators did not like U.S. Attorney Sutton's answers.

TJ Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the union that represents Ramos and Compean, expressed anger at the sentences Tuesday and said the Border Patrol is suffering as a result: "The ramifications of this case [will be felt] by the Border Patrol," Bonner said. Bonner added an anecdote about a former Border Patrol recruit who eventually declined joining and said "You have to be crazy to join this outfit, because you eat your own."

Senator Feinstein and Senator Cornyn announced Tuesday night on our broadcast that they have decided to request that President Bush commute the sentences of Ramos and Compean. The family of Ignacio Ramos watched and listened to the senators make their announcement in our Washington, D.C., bureau, and they were moved to tears.

They weren't alone. E-mail to a friend

“REPORT & FINDINGS ON RAZA STUDIES”

After reading several reports from around the nation saying that the Mexican educational groups such as M.E.C.H.A. (Chicano Student Movement for Aztlan) and “Raza Studies” were teaching hatred of Americans especially the “gringo” and “subversion” (this means planning a takeover of parts or all of our nation) a few of us got together to check it out in our local school district: T.U.S.D (Tucson Unified School District) in Arizona. Also, some mothers had come up to me after I discovered and mentioned to this schoolboard that M.E.Ch.A. says in its first paragraph of its Constitution their goal: “To continue the struggle for self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlan.” (Exhibit “A”, pg.1) (This is known as “la Reconquista” or the “takeover” of land Mexico only owned for 24 years – that’s it! It’s a big lie!). The mothers grabbed my arm and said, “Thank you for what you said. Our children are in danger!” They as many other Americans suspect that the hate that is being taught by these 2 “educational” entities are instigating and fomenting these kids to burn the American flag, or tear it down and put it upside down under the Mexican flag as they did during the two marches. They also feel it is fomenting hatred and violence and many Americans just defending the rule of law (that we ourselves must obey) have been attacked by these youth.

“Raza Studies” made it very difficult for us to get an appointment but with the help of the AZ Sup’t of Schools, Tom Horne, we were finally able to get 3 sessions where we could review the books. We asked repeatedly, verbally and in written form, for a complete copy of the teaching materials but to date we have never received one. On the last date of review, they gave us a single sheet with some names of books on it (Exhibit “B”) and told us it was complete; but then said several of the books listed were no longer used (although they had just given us these books to review at the first appointment). Several of the books that we saw were not even mentioned on this list. At this last book review, we were treated very poorly and shouted at, but I will take that up in a separate letter.

Out of some of these books I reviewed, I decided to delve more thoroughly into specifically two books (that are on the list and that they do, in fact, use). What I found was very alarming! We asked for a meeting with the AZ Superintendent of Schools (which he approved) and with the heads of “Raza Studies”. Every head of Raza Studies backed out. We find the difficulty in making the appts. for review, the refusal to give us a complete copy of the teaching materials and now the refusal to meet with us also very alarming. What are they afraid of? Is there something they don’t want the public to know about? The two books I am reviewing here are: Occupied America by Rodolfo Acuna, Fifth Edition, Pearson/Longman, Copyright 2004 and The Mexican American Heritage by Carlos M. Jimenez, 2nd edit., a TQS book (publ).

Also, by the way, as per the Open Records Law, we are still demanding a copy of all teaching materials of “Raza Studies”.

Here are my findings:



Both books:

1. PROMOTE SEPARATISM; BOTH ARE SUBVERSIVE AND ARE FOR MEXICO STEALING STATES BELONGING TO THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING ARIZONA. (The 7 SW states Mexico wants back were only owned by Mexico for 24 years (approx. 1824-1848) and before that were owned by Spain for 300 and before that were owned by American Indians for thousands of years. AZTECS & MAYAS NEVER LIVED IN NORTH AMERICA!)

2. BOTH BOOKS TWIST THE HISTORY AND BLAME THE U.S. FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING.

3. NEITHER OF THE BOOKS REFER TO AMERICANS AS “AMERICANS” – THEY CALL US “ANGLOS” (I AM NOT AN “ANGLO” WHICH MEANS SOMEONE OF ENGLISH DESCENT); THEY CALL US “GRINGOS” (p. 87 & many other places in Occ. Amer.) – A PEJORATIVE AND DEMEANING TERM SIMILAR TO CALLING A MEXICAN A “Mexican illegal”; AND ONE BOOK ACTUALLY REFERRED TO AN AMERICAN AS A “REDNECK”(pg. 343 Occ. Amer.) ! ONE BOOK REFERS TO AMERICANS AS “EUROAMERICANS” LUMPING ALL EUROPEAN CULTURES TOGETHER EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT.

4. THE BOOKS GIVE THE IMPRESSION THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS COUNTRY BUT SAY IT IS “AZTLAN, MEXICO” – (AND THIS IS BEING TAUGHT IN AMERICAN PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS!). ONE SAYS, (I quote)

“Aztlan ‘is’ another name for the U.S. Southwest.”(pg. 110, Mex.Amer.Her.) (Exh. “C”, pg. 1) AND

“The real question is how well Americans and Mexicans will learn to live together in Aztlan.” (p.107 Mex. Amer. Heritage)(Exh.”C”, pg. 2)(at least this writer does not talk about murdering the gringo/black/Asian)


5. ONE OF THE BOOKS HAS A QUOTE OF A CHICANO LEADER (Jose Angel Gutierrez) WHO SAID,

“KILL THE GRINGO” (why do we have a public High School book that says “kill” anyone??? THIS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE IN A BOOK! (p.323 Occupied America)(Exh. “D”) (although they try to whitewash his statement, his real statement is,
“We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him.” (bold, underline added)(See Exhibit “D, & “E, &“F” for the full quote of Gutierrez.)



6. THERE ARE MISTAKES, FALLACIES, INACCURACIES & DISCREPANCIES.

At pg. 17 in one book (Mex.Amer.Heritage) the author quotes someone as saying, “…Mexico was amongst the first to eliminate slavery” and at pg. 139 in the same book the author states,

“Porfirio Diaz had gone about the business… of seeing to it that the Indians were reduced to slavery…” (And this was between 1910 to 1920 after much of the rest of the world had stopped slavery including the U.S.!).

ANOTHER FALLACY IN THE BOOK: (pg. 107 Mex. Amer. Heritage):
“…it is likewise hard to deny that the Mexican raza (race) was here originally,…” (Exh. “C”, pg. 2)

(see attached Exhibit “G“, pg. 2: “The Race Schools” by Michelle Malkin where she states *“No aztec tribe ever lived anywhere which is now United States lands….But the “Chicano studies” teachers continue to promote that propaganda and lie, and in the process attempt to completely wipe out the history of our tribes in the U.S.southwest.” This was written by a Native American Indian!).

Cesar Chavez was against “illegal aliens” because they took jobs for much less pay away from his grape pickers and would lower the wages all round. Whenever he would find them, he would turn them in. Nowhere did I see this mentioned in any of the “Raza” books!

Rodolfo Acuna constantly calls Americans: “racists”, “nativists”, “immigrant hate (we don’t hate “immigrants” – my parents are “immigrants” – we are “for” the rule of law) groups” and when illegal alien Mexicans are deported or caught, he uses the wrong word “immigrants” (an immigration term meaning “only” legal aliens); he constantly blurs the line between legal and illegal. Americans are the bad guys; and Mexicans the good guys who are always “victims”. He does not mention the ferocious racism practiced in Mexico against their own indigenous.

RACISM: (Occup. America, pg. 396) Acuna accuses any Mexican politician of voting for a “white” candidate will be “diluting” the unity of all Mexicans! “Incredibly, in places like California, Latino politicos who back white candidates over Latino candidates -…-are diluting this unity.” What about voting for the “person “and what he stands for, Rodolfo? He is teaching the students of Mexican background not to be American but to be “only” Mexican and owe their allegiance to Mexico!

7. THE $2.6 MILLION DOLLARS THAT IS BEING SPENT ON “RAZA STUDIES” IS BEING TAKEN OUT OF MONEY THAT WAS CALCULATED FOR EVERY TEACHER WHO SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A $600 PAY RAISE AND WOULD ALSO HAVE COVERED EACH TEACHER’S MEDICAL INSURANCE.
8. AND NOW - THEY ARE FIRING ALL THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARIANS THAT HELP OUR CHILDREN TO READ BUT THEY KEEP A RACIST PROGRAM THAT TAXPAYERS ARE BEING FORCED TO PAY $2.6 MILLION DOLLARS ON FOR ONE CULTURE OVER EVERYONE ELSE’S CULTURE? THIS MAKES NO SENSE & IS REALLY RIDICULOUS.

9. The names of the chapters give away a lot: In “Mex. American Heritage” we find the names of these chapters:
The Aztecs extend their Empire (it’s ok for the Aztecs to take over other people, just not anyone take them over it seems), Why Aztlan Was Lost, The American Invasion, The Future of Aztlan, and Mexicans Return to Aztlan (he is referring to the U.S.!), Viva La Raza and Chicano Power;
HERE IS “Occupied America”:
A Legacy of Hate: The Conquest of Mexico’s Northwest, The Invasion of Texas, The Manufactured War, An Unwarranted Aggression, The Pretext for Conquest, History as Propaganda, The Myth of a Nonviolent Nation, The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo – the Deception, The Colonization of New Mexico, Sonora Invaded: The Occupation of Arizona, Growing Racist Nativism Toward Mexicans, Nativist Deportations (no mention of Illegal aliens – they are called “immigrants”), and on and on and on…

WE DEMAND THAT THE RACIST PROGRAM OF MECHA/LA RAZA BE DISCONTINUED AND THIS MONEY BE SPENT ON EITHER (OR BOTH- IF YOU CAN STRETCH IT) KEEPING OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIANS & A RAISE FOR ALL ARIZONA TEACHERS WITH PAID MEDICAL INSURANCE. EVEN IF MECHA & “RAZA STUDIES” PROGRAM DESISTED FROM TEACHING RACISM, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THEY CANNOT TEACH THEIR CHILDREN AT HOME AND AT THE LIBRARY WHATEVER THEY WISH ABOUT THEIR ETHNIC GROUP JUST AS EVERY SINGLE IMMIGRANT HAS DONE SINCE OUR NATION BEGAN BUT WHO ALL IMBEDDED IN THEIR CHILDRENS’ MIND THAT WE ARE ONE NATION AND “WE ARE AMERICAN FIRST”. AND WHEN YOU COME HERE, YOU GIVE UP YOUR NATIONALITY AND ALLEGIANCE TO WHATEVER COUNTRY YOU ORIGINATE FROM AND YOU BECOME AN “AMERICAN”. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DIVERSIFIED AND MULTICULTURAL – BUT WE ARE “AMERICANS”. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE AN AMERICAN, THEN KINDLY GO BACK TO WHERE YOUR HEART LIES. YOU ONLY TEAR THIS COUNTRY APART. A NATION CAN JUST TAKE SO MUCH RIPPING APART!

P.S. You may wish to also check out 2 other “Plans”: M.E.Ch.A. says its philosophy is based on the “Plan of Aztlan” and on pg. 4 of this Plan it states at (Exhibit “H “):

“7. Political Liberation
1….
2…
3. Self-Defense against the occupying forces of the oppressors AT EVERY SCHOOL (bold/enlargement added) every available man, woman, and child.” What do you think this means? They are talking about a War to take over Aztlan! And using the schools as defense posts!

Also, check out the Plan de San Diego that Occupied America talks about at pg. 167 (Exh. “I”):
The plan (of San Diego) called for a general uprising of Mexicans and other minorities… The supporters would execute all white males over age 16 – blacks, Asians and Native Americans would be spared. The Southwest would become a Chicano nation, and blacks and Native Americans would also form independent countries.”

Fleeing to Mexico Thwarts Death Penalty

By MICHELLE ROBERTS
Associated Press Writer

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- A methamphetamine dealer who gunned down a deputy during a traffic stop in Southern California. A man in Arizona who killed his ex-girlfriend's parents and brother and snatched his children. A man who suffocated his baby daughter and left her body in a toolbag on an expressway overpass near Chicago.

Ordinarily, these would be death penalty cases. But these men fled to Mexico, thereby escaping the possibility of execution.

The reason: Mexico refuses to send anyone back to the United States unless the U.S. gives assurances it won't seek the death penalty - a 30-year-old policy that rankles some American prosecutors and enrages victims' families.

"We find it extremely disturbing that the Mexican government would dictate to us, in Arizona, how we would enforce our laws at the same time they are complaining about our immigration laws," said Barnett Lotstein, special assistant to the prosecutor in Maricopa County, Ariz., which includes Phoenix.

"Even in the most egregious cases, the Mexican authorities say, `No way,' and that's not justice. That's an interference of Mexican authorities in our judicial process in Arizona."

It may be about to happen again: A Marine accused of murdering a pregnant comrade in North Carolina and burning her remains in his backyard is believed to have fled to Mexico. Prosecutors said they have not decided whether to seek the death penalty. But if the Marine is captured in Mexico, capital punishment will be off the table.

Fugitives trying to escape the long arm of the law have been making a run for the border ever since frontier days, a practice romanticized in countless Hollywood Westerns.

Mexico routinely returns fugitives to the U.S. to face justice. But under a 1978 treaty with the U.S., Mexico, which has no death penalty, will not extradite anyone facing possible execution. To get their hands on a fugitive, U.S. prosecutors must agree to seek no more than life in prison.

Other countries, including France and Canada, also demand such "death assurances." But the problem is more common with Mexico, since it is often a quick drive from the crime scene for a large portion of the United States.

"If you can get to Mexico - if you have the means - it's a way of escaping the death penalty," said Issac Unah, a University of North Carolina political science professor.

The Justice Department said death assurances from foreign countries are fairly common, but it had no immediate numbers. State Department officials said Mexico extradited 73 suspects to the U.S. in 2007. Most were wanted on drug or murder charges.

Lolita Parkinson, a spokeswoman for the Mexican Consulate in Houston, said Mexico opposes capital punishment on human rights grounds and has a particular obligation to protect the rights of people of Mexican descent who face prosecution in the U.S.

The U.S. government typically pays more attention to those entering the country from Mexico than it does to those trying to leave the U.S. But Texas authorities have begun making checks of vehicles and drivers heading south on the 25 international bridges that connect the state to Mexico.

The initiative, announced in October, was originally intended to catch drug smugglers taking cash or stolen cars into Mexico, but "we would hope it would be a deterrent for fugitives" as well, said Allison Castle, a spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Perry.

In the North Carolina case, local authorities and the FBI are working with Mexican law enforcement to hunt down Cpl. Cesar Armando Laurean, a 21-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen born in Mexico. He is accused of killing 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach in mid-December, months after she accused him of rape.

Wanted posters and information on Laurean have been distributed to the Mexican media.

Also recently, prosecutors in Dallas pledged not to seek the death penalty if Mexico extradites Ernesto Reyes, a man accused of killing and burning the body of a University of North Texas student last year. That extradition request is still pending.

Last March, Teri March, the widow of a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy who was killed during a traffic stop in 2002, lashed out at Mexico's justice system as Jorge Arroyo Garcia was sentenced to life in prison in California after hiding out in Mexico.

"Garcia hid and hid behind a system that was very broken," she said.

John Walsh, host of TV's long-running "America's Most Wanted," which plans to devote Saturday's episode to the Marine case, said the delays and death-penalty compromises needed to get fugitives returned can be heartbreaking for victims' families

"It's not about revenge. It's not so much about closure. It's about justice," he said.

Lotstein, the prosecutor's assistant in Phoenix, said the county has agreed to drop the death penalty in a number of cases: "The option we have is absolutely no justice, or partial justice."

Wesley Snipes tax protest case heads to court


Current Issue

(FORTUNE Small Business) -- Opening arguments began yesterday in Ocala, Fla., on a tax-fraud case that could land actor Wesley Snipes in jail for up to 16 years.

Snipes, along with two co-defendants who once served as his advisors, is in trouble with the IRS for allegedly failing to file income taxes between 1999 and 2004, during which he made $38 million from movie projects such as the popular vampire trilogy "Blade." Snipes also fraudulently filed for $11 million in refunds on income taxes paid in 1996 and 1997, according to prosecutors.

Snipes' counsel maintains that their client is not guilty and fell victim to poor advice provided by his two co-defendants, Eddie Ray Kahn and Douglas Rosile. Kahn, who has served jail time for tax crimes, and Rosile, who had his Florida accounting license revoked more than 10 years ago, told Snipes that he was not obligated to pay income taxes on wages made in the U.S., according to the indictment.

Ease the pain of government regulations
Proponents of this anti-tax theory, commonly referred to as the "861 position," believe that because this section of the federal tax code does not explicitly say that wages are taxable (the phrase "compensation for services" does not encompass wages, according to this line of reasoning), earners are not obligated to pay taxes on them.

Tax experts say that argument - appealing as it may be to some workers and business owners - has been firmly and repeatedly shot down in court.

"The fact of the matter is that compensation for services includes employment. That's Tax 101," said Tom Ochsenschlager, vice president of taxation for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. "There's just no merit to what he's claiming here."

U.S. courts have routinely denied the legitimacy of this position, but have occasionally acquitted tax protestors whose cases have been brought to court on criminal charges. Most famously, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1991 overturned the conviction of tax protestor John Cheek, ruling that a good-faith belief - even if its unreasonable - that one is not violating the complex IRS tax code is a legitimate defense against criminal culpability.

While cleared of criminal charges, most of these defendants were ultimately required to pay the IRS the money owed, as Cheek was.

IRS may shift AMT gap burden to small biz
Snipes, 45, is being represented by lead attorney Robert Bernhoft, who is no stranger to cases involving section 861 protests. In 2005, he represented Joe Banister, a former criminal investigator for the IRS who decided that the government's taxation system was unconstitutional and began conducting seminars and radio interviews on the hows and whys of organized tax resistance.

"If I were to stay silent about this issue, I would be one of the biggest hypocrites that ever walked the face of the earth," Banister told Fortune Small Business in a 2005 article about his case.

Banister was arrested in late 2004 and charged with conspiracy to defraud the U.S., but he was acquitted of all charges in June 2005. However, his co-defendant, Walter Allen Thompson, was convicted and sentenced to six years in jail for failing to withhold taxes from his employees and pay off debts to the IRS.

Will Snipes' argument hold up in court? Tax attorney Michael Schlesinger doesn't think so.

"The law is quite clear," said Schlesinger, of New York City firm Schlesinger & Sussman. "There's no little quirk in the code that says that suddenly wage earners don't have to pay their taxes. You may not go to jail for not filing your taxes, but typically you're going to wind up paying your taxes."

That's been the outcome for most of the defendants who have been acquitted in section 861 cases. Though Snipes claims to have been unaware that the filing procedures suggested to him by Kahn and Rosile were illegal, prosecutors claim that Snipes sent payments to the IRS to cover some taxes.

"I think he's a great actor," Schlesinger said. "I hope he can act in court."

ICE arrests former Juarez, Mexico, public safety director on drug, bribery charges
Mexican entrepreneur had made arrangements to continue smuggling drugs to El Paso



EL PASO, Texas - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents Wednesday arrested the former Ciudad Juarez public safety director on drug and bribery charges here.

Saulo Reyes-Gamboa, 36, was arrested about 8 p.m. in a parking lot in Central El Paso after he allegedly paid a person who he believed to be a corrupt federal officer to facilitate the smuggling of drug loads through the international ports of entry.

Reyes-Gamboa was appointed by the past city mayor in January 2007 to supervise operations for the municipal police department. Reyes-Gamboa is an entrepreneur who owns several businesses in Ciudad Juarez, including some U.S. restaurant chain stores and a radio station.

After taking Reyes-Gamboa into custody, special agents conducted a search of a house located in the 12100 block of Sunbridge Place in Horizon City, Texas, where agents discovered 985 lbs. of marijuana in the garage. At that location, special agents also arrested Karina Tarango, 27, who was storing marijuana that Reyes-Gamboa had allegedly arranged to be smuggled into the country earlier in the day.

Reyes-Gamboa and Tarango are charged with possession with intent to distribute, and conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute. Reyes-Gamboa is also charged with bribery of a public official..

"It is most troubling and disheartening to discover that individuals who are charged with enforcing the law and protecting the public may themselves be involved in criminal activity," said Roberto Medina, special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in El Paso. "Importing illegal drugs into the United States is a serious crime. ICE is committed to enforcing the law without prejudice or preference, which includes pursuing individuals and drug organizations that operate in our area of responsibility."
