You know what I love about this story? That the black racists jumped to the defense of these two burglars because they were black. Now that it has been revealed that they are COLUMBIAN and ILLEGAL ALIENS I wonder if that will change their race-based support of the BURGLARS??

Even before their deaths prompted a series of heated debates about the use of deadly force, detectives at the Department of Public Safety had their eye on Diego Ortiz and Miguel Dejesus.

The two were shot and killed by Joe Horn, a Pasadena man who thought they were burglarizing his neighbor’s home last month.

According to a DPS memo obtained by 11 News, the department was investigating the use of Puerto Rican birth certificates by Colombians seeking to obtain Texas driver’s licenses.

But I’m sure they just wanted to “have a better life for their families here in the US” right?

Both Ortiz and Dejesus had applied for licenses. Dejesus listed his country of origin as Puerto Rico, but both men were Colombian.

Apparently, the DPS is investigating hundreds of immigrants who may have used illegal papers to get Texas licenses.

Wonderful. One wonders what for exactly?  Next we will here that hundreds of illegals posing as Puerto Ricans have applied for Commercial Driver’s Licenses.

But that’s not all.

A much wider probe has been launched into an organized syndicate of Colombians who are engaged in illegal weapons sales and home break-ins – just like the one Ortiz and Dejesus were involved in last month in Pasadena.

That day, Joe Horn and a shotgun stood in the way of the suspected thieves, but in many instances the suspects have gotten away.

The ATF, ICE and DPS have reportedly formed a task force to bring the crime wave to an end.

The burglars are said to be very effective at what they do, conducting extensive surveillance on their targets before striking. Some of the suspects are extremely violent.

Apparently their surveillance didn’t detect that there was a patriotic American in that neighborhood with a shotgun and he knew how to use it. LOL!

The investigations have already led to several arrests.

Because it was Texas - I just KNEW that more would come out about this story. My gut told me these were not the run of the mill burglars. Gee I can’t imagine why. Maybe it’s because crime in our southwest is getting out of hand and a lot of it is not being perpetrated by American citizens.

You know what I say about these two dead burglars?  GOOD RIDDANCE. No more sneaking into our country over and over. They risked their lives by coming to this country in the first place and then brazenly burglarizing a home in broad daylight in a nice neighborhood. These two scumbags are the ones responsible for their own deaths. I feel no sorrow over their demise.  We need more Joe Horns in this country!

Once again, doing the job Americans won’t do - and that is spreading diseases that were mostly eradicated in this nation. This is a DIRECT result of allowing millions of people to enter this country illegally who are NOT SCREENED for DISEASES. Thanks to George Bush who refuses to secure our borders. I hope his family catches Whooping Cough. Oh that’s right. His family will never have a chance to come into contact with this disease or any other because they live in their own little high society where they rarely brush shoulders with illegal aliens like WE are forced to. God damn elitist!

Whooping cough makes comeback

Posted: December 4, 2007

WASHINGTON – Cover your mouth when you cough.

Wash your hands frequently.

And don’t knowingly expose yourself to those infected with an illness you may have thought was a thing of the past.

That’s the advice from public health officials who report small outbreaks of whooping cough, or pertussis, in all 50 states – with some pockets resulting in school closings and even one infant death.

The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta reports some 8,000 cases in the U.S. this season.

At Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., the campus has been shut down for an early Christmas break as a result of a major outbreak among students and staff. Some of the 30 infected with the bacterial disease at Bob Jones reportedly had been vaccinated against the illness as infants, suggesting those inoculations are not holding up after 20 years.

The fall semester officially ended prematurely – a full week before the scheduled date.

The state Department of Health and Environmental Control said that it is working with the school to make sure all necessary precautions are being taken to prevent the spread of the disease.

Whooping cough is an infection of the respiratory system, characterized by severe coughing spells that end in a “whooping” sound when the person breathes in.

The bacterial disease is highly contagious and can be treated with antibiotics. There is a vaccination against pertussis available for children 6 years old and younger.

Some have linked a resurgence in the disease since 2005 with illegal immigrants.

A rise in diseases such as whooping cough, tuberculosis, malaria, measles and even leprosy are creating public health concerns and have hit hospitals and health care systems already financially burdened by indigent illegals flooding emergency rooms and urgent care centers.

Madeleine Pelner Cosman, author of a report in the spring issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, is one of those professionals who has linked the increase in diseases with illegal immigration.

“Certain diseases that we thought we had vanquished years ago are coming back, and other diseases that we’ve never seen or rarely seen in America, because they’ve always been the diseases of poverty and the third world, are coming in now,” she said.

Today in New Orleans, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard the case for releasing Ramos and Compean pending their new trial. The Justice Department has repeatedly DENIED this to our former Border Agents.

Word is - Johnny Sutton was RENOUNCED by the judges. Some in court descriptions to follow below.

Finally a court of law is seeing the blatant INJUSTICE perpetrated against Ramos and Compean and I predict they will be home with their families by spring. I further predict that Johnny Sutton will probably quietly resign when they are released, before the beginning of their new trial, where we can only hope the real truth will be told. Without a credible witness, I don’t know how they can even HAVE a trial and as a result it should be THROWN OUT. Next - Ramos and Compean get to make MILLIONS of dollars to tell their story.

Read the full article here at World Net Daily.

The U.S. government admitted today in federal court that the prosecution’s star witness in the criminal trial of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean – confessed drug dealer Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila – lied under oath.

No! You can’t be saying a career drug smuggler *lied* under oath! Oh my God what is the world coming to!

“He told some lies on the stand,” Mark Stelmach, the assistant U.S. attorney representing prosecutor U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton said under questioning by a three-judge 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel in New Orleans.

Ramos and Compean are appealing prison sentences of 11- and 12-years respectively for a 2005 incident in which they fired on Aldrete-Davila as he fled back into Mexico after smuggling 750 pounds of marijuana into the U.S. near Fabens, Texas.

“Today the justice system worked the way it is supposed to,” Tara Setmayer, communications director for Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., told WND immediately following the hearing.

Setmeyer, who attended the hearing, said, “I feel cautiously optimistic the judges will make a ruling quickly.”

“Based on the nature of the questions from the judges, it seems as though the government made their own bed and now they have to lie in it,” she said.

According to Setmayer, Judge Patrick Errol Higginbotham questioned Stelmach closely about why the prosecution had sought to seal from the jury information about a second smuggling attempt by Aldrete-Davila after Sutton’s office gave him immunity and a border pass.

Higginbotham rebuked Stelmach’s suggestion that Aldrete-Davila’s drug history prior to the Feb. 17, 2005, incident with the border agents was not relevant to the trial. The judge argued the second load was relevant because it showed Aldrete-Davila had a brazen disregard for the law, a key factor in evaluating his testimony for the prosecution.

“It defies common sense in the street world,” Higginbotham told Stelmach, “to believe Aldrete-Davila was a poor mule, as he represented at trial, instead of an actual player in the world of the drug cartels.”

As WND reported, the defense lawyers in the appellate briefs filed for Ramos and Compean had argued that the likelihood Aldrete-Davila was carrying a firearm was greatly increased if he was a major player for the drug cartels.

Aldrete-Davila was the only witness who testified at trial that he was unarmed. Since he was not apprehended and frisked on the scene, it was his word at trial against the word of Ramos and Compean. The border agents both testified they saw Aldrete-Davila pointing a shiny object they believed was a gun as he ran away.

“Before the hearing today we were skeptical because we know the government is good at lying,” Joe Loya, father-in-law of Ramos, told WND in a telephone interview.

“Now we are optimistic justice will prevail,” he said. “The government had to admit today the prosecutors let Aldrete-Davila commit perjury at trial.”

The judges today questioned the government closely about the appropriateness of prosecuting Ramos and Compean under 18 U.S.C. Section 924(c), a law passed to require an additional 10-year minimum prison sentence, if felons in the act of committing crimes such as rape or burglary carry a weapon.

WND has reported the Ramos and Compean appellant briefs argued the law was never meant to be applied to law enforcement officers in the pursuit of their duties.

Judge E. Grady Jolly commented the “government overreached” in applying 18 U.S.C. Section 924(c) to Ramos and Compean.

From Joe Loya through Robin Hvidston - here is what he observed in the courtroom today:

Joe Loya reported the following from the 5th Circuit Courthouse, New Orleans, Ramos and Compean Hearing

Before three federal judges:

Ramos and Compean’s attorney was allowed to speak for one half hour, no interruptions

The prosecuting attorney was interrupted “every three minutes” by all three judges. “The attorney could barely complete sentences without the judges firing away at him.”

The judges were familiar, in depth, with the case

They grilled the prosecuting attorney relentlessly on the following:

Why did the government allow Davila to lie under oath

Why did the government grant this special immunity

Why did the government prosecute law enforcement officers use of a gun using a law designed for criminals

Why did the government seal information

Apparently, the judges were merciless on the prosecuting attorney

Johnny Sutton DASHED out of the courtroom - avoiding all reporters

Joe Loya said there will be coverage on Lou Dobbs, Fox 11 did interviews, as well as America’s Most Wanted

Great editorial from Naomi Wolf who has recently written a book and is making the rounds on television shows. The book is “The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot“. I have not yet read the book but I have heard her on the various television shows and I’d have to say I’m very glad that Naomi is on our side of the fence in this battle to save our country.

As we reported yesterday, the U.S. Senate is about to vote on a bill that would criminalize the “planned use of force” to promote a political, religious or social belief. While we strongly disagree with the passage of the law, one curious effect is that it would clearly qualify Maryland’s Attorney General Glenn Ivey — the man who has threatened Maryland parents with imprisonment if they don’t get their children vaccinated — as a terrorist.

With the help of two state judges and the head of the local school board, Glenn Ivey conspired to terrorize parents with threats of having them taken from their homes at gunpoint (being arrested) and forcibly separated from their families by throwing them in jail for up to 30 days if they refused to have their children vaccinated with drugs that contain the toxic heavy metal mercury. There is absolutely no question that under the new legislation that’s about to pass the Senate, called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, Glenn Ivey’s actions would qualify as acts of terrorism. (See our previous report on this topic at http://www.newstarget.com/022308.html ) Even more interestingly, Glenn Ivey merely thinking about threatening parents who don’t get their children vaccinated would, all by itself, be considered a terrorist “thoughtcrime” act.

Glenn Ivey, of course, will never be prosecuted as a terrorist under this law. But if you or I picked up a gun, shoved it in the faces of parents, and threatened to kidnap them if they didn’t inject their children with toxic mercury, there’s no doubt that we’d be arrested and charged with numerous crimes. So why does the state of Maryland get away with making essentially the same threat?

Because in a fascist police state, the laws are never applied to the criminals running the State. Laws are selectively applied only to the citizenry, not the officials, bureaucrats and law enforcement personnel who are protecting the power structure. This is, in fact, a key sign of an unjust society: The King’s laws never apply to the King! (Only to the peasants…)

Ignoring the rule of law

Essentially, it means there are two tiers of law. At the bottom, there are all the laws that apply to the people, which include this anti-terrorism legislation. But at the top, none of those laws apply to the people running the State. Maryland’s Attorney General will never be charged as a terrorist, even if his actions clearly qualify him as one under U.S. law. President Bush will unfortunately never be charged as a murderer, even though his war actions clearly qualify him as a mass murderer (if you kill just one person, it’s called murder, but if you kill a hundred thousand, it’s called war).

How about the international laws against the use of weapons of mass destruction? Once again, the United States is openly engaged in the use of such weapons — depleted uranium shells being used right now in Iraq and Afghanistan. Note that there is absolutely no international trial, no charges, and no outcry from any western nation over the use of this WMD that will irradiate the Iraqi landscape for generations to come.
Is depleted uranium really a WMD? Of course it is. Here’s a brief explanation from Wikipedia:

The Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities of the United Nations Human Rights Commission,[16] passed two motions[17] the first in 1996[18] and the second in 1997.[19] They listed weapons of mass destruction, or weapons with indiscriminate effect, or of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering and urged all states to curb the production and the spread of such weapons. Included in the list was weaponry containing depleted uranium. Continue reading at Wikipedia…

How laws are applied in a police state

Police state societies do not respect the rule of law. They simply invent laws as they go along, then selectively apply them to whoever they want. For example, here in the United States, it is illegal for the President to declare an act of war. Only Congress can declare an act of war, yet Congress never declared war against Iran or Afghanistan. Bush sort of declared war, but only against a concept — terrorism — and not an enemy state.

If this Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act passes and gets signed into law, there are all sorts of government actions against the People that should technically be considered acts of terrorism. For example, armed FDA raids on vitamin companies would clearly qualify as acts of terrorism. Will FDA officials be arrested, charged with terrorist crimes, and shipped off to Guantanamo? Only in your wildest dreams…

How about the use of force by the DEA to destroy industrial hemp farms in the United States? This lucrative crop is grown legally in Canada and used to make hemp clothes, hemp rope, hemp seeds (which are rich in omega-3 oils) and all sorts of goods that we import from Canada, but here in the U.S., the growing of this industrial crop is condemned, disrupted and aggressively attacked by a government group that, at times, acts like a group of terrorists: The Drug Enforcement Agency.

What are they doing that qualifies them as terrorists? Raiding farms at gunpoint, burning their hemp fields, spraying poisons on their crops via helicopter, imprisoning the farmers, and much worse. It’s clearly a terrorist operation designed to achieve a political goal (the destruction of the hemp industry in order to protect the powerful cotton interests in this country). There is absolutely no logical rationale behind the suppression of the hemp industry. It is purely a political ploy.

All this doesn’t mean the DEA isn’t useful in stopping the manufacture and distribution of truly dangerous drugs like meth or crack, but spending billions of taxpayer dollars going after a harmless industrial crop like hemp — a crop that could enrich U.S. farmers, produce endless renewable biofuel energy and create a booming textile industry — is ludicrous.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way…

What’s clear about all this in the United States today is that the U.S. government believes it has the right to use terrorist tactics on the People in order to achieve its political goals. The gunpoint medicine policy of forced vaccinations in Maryland is a recent outgrowth of this dangerous belief. It is the kind of belief that lets you know right away just how quickly this country is headed towards police state fascism. Apparently, pointing guns in the faces of the People (or threatening to do so) is increasingly one of the ways in which Government gets its way. In fact, Maryland’s Attorney General used these exact words when describing his gunpoint medicine policy of forced vaccinations: “We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way…”

What he means by that, of course, is if you don’t agree with his political and medical aims, you will have a gun shoved in your face and be threatened with violence until you comply. This is a classic motivation tactic of a police state society. I’m curious to know whether Glenn Ivey will support this new legislation in the U.S. Senate that would clearly classify his own actions as acts of terrorism…

It will be fascinating to see how all this plays out. Will the People rise up and demand their freedoms, wrestling the future of America back from tyrants? Or will they elect a new tyrant in 2008 and accelerate the nation’s march towards self destruction? Given that at least half the population is now drugged up on pharmaceuticals, brainwashed by cable news and hoodwinked over what really happened on 9/11, it’s hard to imagine people waking up in time to change the course of this country. But stranger things have happened. It’s possible that this nation might survive its current freedom crisis, but I sure wouldn’t bet on it. And if I did bet on it, I wouldn’t place my bet in fast-falling U.S. dollars, for sure.

Is it any wonder that there is a huge surge in home schooling when you get school officials who act like this? Pretty soon we will start to see the outlawing of home schooling - just wait and see. It is already that way in Germany. Germany is no stranger to Fascism and it seems they are slipping backwards into the abyss of Fascism once again. Here is an excerpt regarding how Germany is treating parents who don’t wish their children to be forcefully indoctrinated by the state in Germany:

Government officials determined to stamp out “parallel societies” have in the past ordered police to take children from their homes to school and have placed a teenager involuntarily in psychiatric care for being homeschooled. Now they are fining a German husband and wife $6,300 for refusing to require their children to attend public schools.

So, they admit that there is social engineering happening in their schools just by accusing the parents of participating in a “parallel society”. What exactly ARE they teaching children in German schools that has them so threatened by home schooling? I know in this country, about 1 out of 3 of my friends with children are home schooling them. They feel the public schools are dangerous, they are not teaching children and they are promoting sexual and immoral behavior. Now why on earth would a school be doing such things???? My grandmother who was an English teacher in the days when schools actually taught children to be achievers and they also supported the moral education that they got at home and church, is probably turning in her grave right about now to see what has become of modern “schools”.
