Illegal Protest

Ok as if the bailout in general isn’t bad enough, apparently there are some EARMARKS in there which is congressional code for FAVORS that specifies that The National Council of LA RAZA, ACORN and other groups that benefit only “people of color” will be FIRST IN LINE to get any profits made on this “investment” in the failed banks that chose to lend to subprime lenders. The kicker is - it is THESE SAME GOUPS who lobbied to give mortgages to these high risk borrowers in the first place and they got OUR MONEY to make that happen - to the tune of millions of dollars in “Federal Housing” grants.  So these same groups who pushed mortgage lenders to lend money to people BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE which is in itself a VIOLATION OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT - now that these subprime mortgages have bankrupted those Institutions, these same groups are going to benefit from OUR TAX MONEY ONCE AGAIN.

You need to call your congress rats NOW and DEMAND TO REMOVE THIS EARMARK. Not only that but you need to DEMAND THAT THEY PUT OVERSIGHT INTO THE BAILOUT, THEY ARREST THE EXECUTIVES WHO CAUSED THE FAILURE INSTEAD OF GIVING THEM MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN REWARDS!

Read more over at Digger’s Realm here and watch the video below if you want to see exactly how we are yet again being stabbed in the back by the people we elected to represent us. It’s outrageous!  It’s disgusting!  It’s time for another TEA PARTY FOLKS!

Not only that but here’s another interesting detail you won’t hear on CNN about this bailout - from ARRA:

Open Secrets reveals the investment made by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in Democrats and details the Top 25 Democrat Recipients of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac contributions in 1989-2008. The top three in order were Senators Christopher Dodd, John Kerry and Barack Obama.

This is an outrage even more serious than the 2006 Amnesty attempt. These politicians are intent on breaking the backs of the American people and pushing the agendas of the leftists, the socialists, the illegal aliens and the Communists. In this blogger’s opinion, they ALL need to be looking for new jobs and I will just vote out the incumbent in the next election ACROSS THE BOARD down to the local level. They have ALL FAILED US AND THE PARTY IS OVER.

I am totally disgusted at what I see is passing today for “reporting” and “news” but this story that ran in the Philadelphia Daily News this week stoops even lower than the National Enquirer because not only did they run a sensational headline tying together two events which were TOTALLY unrelated, but they based the story on inuendo and rumor rather than fact.

Here is the timeline and to fully understand this Shenandoah story, you need to go back to the July 12th incident where illegal alien Luis Ramirez was involved in a street fight with several teens which resulted in his death due to head trauma. It was a tragic event that COULD have been avoided had the leaders in Shenandoah been enforcing immigration laws. This tragic encounter never would have happened if the town’s leaders had any kind of backbone.

In stepped LULAC and MALDEF to claim that this was a racially motivated hate crime against Mr Ramirez because he was a Mexican and they based these accusations on the fact that the teens used “racial” epithets - they called him a Mexican - which in my book is not racial nor an epithet - but don’t let that get in the way of race baiting agendas.

In the intervening months, much has been learned about that fateful night and in the probable cause affidavit it is stated that Mr Ramirez was in fact lurking around in a dark park at 11:30pm with a 15 year old girl and ultimately, it was THIS reason that prompted the fight not that he was a Mexican. Did the fact that he was a non-English speaking illegal alien who has lived her for six years and not learned English figure into it? I am sure! Gee I can’t imagine why there would be friction when someone breaks into your country, settles in your town, takes jobs at lowest possible wages and refuses even to learn the language. I’m sure villages in Mexico would be happy to have some Americans setup shop in THIER town for six years and do the same right?

Since that time, the first degree homicide charges for the teens have been REDUCED to third degree because it CANNOT BE PROVEN THAT THEY INTENDED TO KILL MR RAMIREZ. It was an accident as a result of the fight and they will most likely pay dearly for that fight no matter what.

But why should the TOWN of Shenandoah have to pay for this tragedy? Well the million dollar funded racist groups MALDEF, LULAC and the ADL want to slander this town to further their own agenda that Americans are out to get Mexicans and that agenda, they hope, will allow illegal aliens to get their “path to citizenship” because the most liberal Americans will feel sorry for them having to put up with all those racist Americans.

These RACIST groups were the FIRST to INSERT themselves into the business of this town and instead of “healing” and “peace” they have caused turmoil and hostility between some of the leaders and between some of the residents. After 6 weeks of abuse by these racist groups, some of the residents asked Voice of the People USA to hold a rally there to support those who were against illegal immigration in the town and to show that this town has had ENOUGH of the SLANDER and the HARRASSMENT and the LIES.

And at that Voice of the People USA rally, close to 600 people from the town came out on that Saturday night and that is about 10% of the town. The Mayor of the town and many of the town council members shunned the Voice of the People rally and said it was a racist gathering, while meanwhile they joined Dr Agapito Lopez (plaintiff in Hazleton ordinance battle), MALDEF and several illegal aliens at a “unity” gathering where they sang songs of unity IN SPANISH.

So fast forward to September 12th. A guy named Javier Alcala reports to police, hours later, that he was abducted by men in a black SUV, duct taped and beaten and then taken and dropped off a few blocks away.. LULAC comes out fighting and says they are calling for a Department of Justice Civil Rights investigation. The first this is heard about is Monday but apparently LULAC has been talking to the press and one of those in the press they were talking to was Regina Medina of the Daily News.

The Shenandoah police said on Monday they had not released information yet because they were not finished their investigation. Oh but that didn’t stop Regina from submitting her story on Shenandoah with the headline reading “Another beating in Shenandoah“. Oh boy consider how THAT would sell papers. Never mind that it was FALSE and Javier Alcala has changed his story four times since then. Police have stated unequivocally that it is NOT A RACIALLY BASED CRIME. The final version of Alcala’s story had something to do with being lured into a house by a woman and then bound with duct tape and beaten up by unknown assailants who then said they had the wrong guy. Apparently these bad guys then took Mr Alcala and drove him a few blocks and left him.

Police said Alcala later admitted to lying about the kidnapping and, after further interviews, police determined the assault occurred at 18 S. Chestnut St., where Alcala arrived with a female acquaintance. Alcala said he arrived at the home and was jumped by the men, who hit him on the head, bound him with duct tape on his legs and arms and blindfolded him with duct tape

It now appears this was drug related in some way and I am sure there will be more details surfacing about this. But the fact is - this has NOTHING to do with the July 12th incident whatsoever but that doesn’t stop the whores of news reporting from continuing to leave that erroneous article out there for more lies to be spread.

And the lies surround the July 12th incident continue to be spread by the whores in the media - from People Magazine to the Republican Herald. Some of the lies are -

• that Crystal Dillman was the “widow” of Luis Ramirez - they weren’t living together, they weren’t married and the “engagement” was two years old and probably not even valid
• that Luis Ramirez is the father of two of Crystal Dillman’s children - oh yeah then why did she file paternity suits against OTHER men regarding those same children?
• that the teens were associated with a gang - totally false - they had no ties to any gangs nor did they have ties to any white supremacy groups
• that the teens attacked Luis Ramirez without provocation - false -Ramirez escalated the fight and was VERY aggressive and he had his own choice racial epithets that were used during the fight as well

And so.. I challenge the Philadelphia Daily News to correct their erroneous information from the Monday article that is circulating around and do the stand up thing.. the right thing.. I won’t be holding my breath however.

Get ready to feel your blood boil. You will NOT believe it but this article actually ties the incident with Luis Ramirez with Birmingham, AL 1963 and a KKK bomb attack that killed four young black girls. Yes, you read that right.. they are saying that this incident is as bad as the KKK planting a BOMB and killing children!!

The article was in the Tallahassee.com edition and written by Barbara Ransby of the Progressive Media Project. I decided to find out who she is which follows the article.

Back to Birmingham, 45 years later

By Barbara Ransby • PROGRESSIVE MEDIA PROJECT • September 15, 2008

Forty-five years ago, one of the most pivotal racist attacks of the civil-rights era occurred. Local members of the Ku Klux Klan planted a bomb under the steps of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., on a Sunday morning, Sept. 15, 1963. The explosion killed four young girls, three of them age 14 and one of them only 11 years old.

Most popular accounts of the civil-rights movement mark 1963 as the apex of nonviolence. In August of that year, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial facing an audience of 250,000 supporters.

But while King praised nonviolence, racist groups and individuals engaged in violence throughout the region. Birmingham was at the center of the fray. There were so many buildings and homes blown up by vigilantes there that the town was dubbed “Bombingham.” Convictions for these crimes were rare. It was not until 1977 that prosecutors in Alabama aggressively went after the culprits in the 16th Street Church bombing, resulting in the conviction of KKK member Robert Chambliss that same year.

Things have changed in America since 1963. No one would argue with this. My own grandmother, who was born in Mississippi in 1901 and worked as a sharecropper and maid, never believed the day would come that a black man would be nominated for president by a major political party.

But let’s not celebrate the postracial Promised Land too soon. There is not only persistent racism in the United States, there is also persistent racist violence and the hatred that fuels it.

Sen. Barack Obama has had numerous death threats. The threats were so prevalent and so serious that he received Secret Service protection well before he was the Democratic Party nominee.

Yeah you get death threats no matter what color you are Barbara if you decide to become a public figure and a controversial one at that.

In America, people of color are still victims of racially motivated violence.

In May a federal jury in Kansas City convicted two men of the racially motivated murder of a black man, William McCay, three years before.

Last month, Luis Ramirez, a Mexican immigrant and father of two, was beaten to death by four white teenagers in Shenandoah, Pa. They hurled racist epithets along with kicks and punches.

Let me straighten you out here Barbara. This fight was mutual and Ramirez could have walked away but he chose to return WITH his friend and go after the teens, which resulted in his death. It was NOT a KKK attack. And Ramirez ALSO hurled racial epithets at the white teens. Ramirez was also wanted on a 2004 aggravated assault charge and he was a fugitive from justice at the time of his death. He was ALSO in a dark park at 11:30pm with a 15 year old girl, which is how the fight got started. But of course you don’t want to muddy up your little article with things like FACTS now do you. You’d much rather make your distorted correlations between the KKK and these white teens and I charge that YOU Barbara, are the racist here because you apparently see white teens and you see the KKK.

It is important to remember the lessons and legacy of Birmingham in 1963.

It is equally important to not turn a blind eye to the instances of racial harassment and violence today, from the lynching reference that sparked the Jena 6 case last year to the numerous hate crimes that get reported to the Justice Department and civil-rights watchdog groups each year.

Let’s not forget the cold blooded MURDER of Jamiel Shaw Jr by a Hispanic illegal alien and the MURDER of the black honors students in NJ by an illegal alien Hispanic GANG and the MURDER of the Bologna father and sons by an illegal alien HISPANIC Barbara. These are all WAY more racist and hateful than what happened in Shenandoah - but that does not support your distorted arguments so you conveniently leave them out.

It is not only naive to think we have completely eradicated racism in America, it is dangerous.

To be sure, racist violence never consumed the entire population or even the majority. Most people of color were not direct victims. And most whites did not throw the blows or the bombs. They simply looked the other way.

Apathy or willful ignorance in the face of racism and injustice yields the same net result, whether it is the blatant and widespread racism that showed itself in Birmingham, or the more subtle but no less real racism of today.

We couldn’t afford that apathy or that ignorance yesterday. We can’t afford it now.

Apparently Barbara Ransby is not only involved with the Progressive Media Project, but also the LEFT FORUM and they have a web site here. They are self described in this way:

Left Forum provides a context for the critical dialogue that is essential for a stronger Left and a more just society.

Oh really? A more just society? And that gives you the license to outright LIE? It’s outrageous that anyone can tie the event in Shenandoah to a KKK bombing and get away with it. The Tallahassee.com saw fit to print it. Shame on them!

Barbara Ransby is also a member of the Editorial Board of The Black Commentator - apparently a magazine devoted to ONLY Black issues. Oh yeah Barbara, you aren’t a racist now are you. I can just imagine how you would point the finger at an ALL WHITE magazine. Total double standard Barbara. A just society? Where Blacks run the world? Is that what you want Barbara?

Oh and guess what? The chair of The Black Commentator is a Julian Bond. Julian Bond was named the first president of the Southern Poverty Law Center at its founding in 1971 and still sits on the board. The SPLC is leading the way in listing anyone who is against illegal immigration as a racist hate group, including a Pennsylvania group which consists of two sweet white haired ladies.

I’ll tell you what will end racism. When people like YOU stop seeing the world through a RACE PRISM and see people without seeing their color. You are just as bad if not worse than the KKK with your Black Commentator membership and your singling out that only Barack Obama receives death threats and your focus on only white crime against other races. Give me a break! You are just not worth listening to.

You will notice that all of these associations of Barbara Ransby’s are conveniently omitted in the credits on the article and she only refers to her associate professorship in the department of African American Studies and History at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I think we should let Barbara know how we feel about her using her position at a university to spew her racist, leftist agenda and have it appear mainstream.

My sincere thanks to Mariann Davies of You Don’t Speak for Me for finding and translating this from the Spanish language AL DIA newspaper regarding the incident in Shenandoah where Luis Ramirez, illegal alien Mexican, died as a result of being involved in an altercation with several teens.

I was AT the Voice of the People USA Rally and I can tell you that the police reported an estimated 585-600 people attending. And we spoke with reporter Regina Medina from the Philadlephia Daily News who had also attended the “Unity” gathering at the church on August 30th and her estimate at THAT rally was 45 people - no WAY it could have been 150! Outright blatant LIES. I would love for someone from Shenandoah to actually find out what the seating capacity is for that church. You can see video from the “unity” gathering and all the pews were NOT filled and it was NOT standing room only so their numbers can be easily disproven.

Furthermore - there was no incident that the police prevented 25 Hispanics from coming to our rally. If that was the case, then they would have ALSO prevented Crystal Dillman and her friends from showing up at OUR rally with a large Mexican flag in front of them. The police know who Crystal Dillman is and if there had been an attempt by a large group of Hispanics to disrupt our rally, the people at the rally would have heard about it. This was held in an open air park. There was no way the police could have prevented a group from getting pretty close to the VOPUSA rally at which point we would have been aware of this going on.

Read this article and see how much these racists have DISTORTED the factual events in their quest to INCITE RACIAL HATRED NOT UNIFY THE TOWN.

Shenandoah Is Still Hot

Shenandoah sigue caliente

The climate in Shenandoah (PA) is under observation.
Things have worsened after two groups of demonstrators met face to face at a town park, last August 30. Some 300 demonstrators (the larger of the groups) demanded that the undocumented leave Shenandoah.

Things have worsened for the Mayor because now he knows that the majority of people in Shenandoah are against him and for enforcing immigration laws for a change! Had he done that sooner, we would not have had this incident at all!

A few others, headed by Crystal Dillman, widow of Luis Eduardo Ramírez Zavala, stated that immigrants “are also human”.

You can’t be a WIDOW unless you are MARRIED. Crystal Dillman was AT BEST, the fiancee of Ramirez and I even question that fact - does it make someone a fiancee because they promise to marry you after getting you pregnant a couple of times ? I don’t THINK so. That so called “fiancee” was up to no good in a park with Crystal’s half sister at 11:30pm. How come Al Dia chooses to leave out THAT fact hmm?

The 300 demonstrators were at the park for various hours speaking of and showing banners with anti-immigrant messages. They were convened by Voice of the People, and carried posters with messages of rejection and incrimination towards immigrants.

The VOPUSA rally was NOT ANTI-IMMIGRANT WHATSOEVER - IT WAS ANTI-ILLEGAL ALIEN! We have the video to prove it. Rev Miguel Rivera has conjecture and lies. AND the police estimated the crowd at the VOPUSA rally as between 585 and 600 and we have video and pictures to prove it.

At least 25 state police officers and Latino community members prevented more Hispanics from passing through in order to avoid confrontation between both groups.

Total LIE - the VOPUSA rally was peaceful and the only time there was potential confrontation was when Crystal showed up with her Mexican flag and called the group a bunch of racists. The 25 police pretty much stood around at the entrance to the park for most of the rally and looked bored.

In reply to the banners, Dillman pulled out a Mexican flag, while the crowd cried “Crystal go to Mexico”.
A few minutes earlier, around 150 people gathered at a local temple to sing and send messages of peace.
The small town located about two hours north of Philadelphia has become the eye of the storm after a group of white youths beat a Mexican immigr ant to death last July.

They were singing messages of peace IN SPANISH by the way.

Three youngsters were arrested; two of them, Brandon Piekarski, 16, and Collin Walsh, 17, were accused of homicide and ethnic intimidation, among others. The third, Donovan Donchak, 18, is accused of aggravated assault and ethnic intimidation, among others.

AND the charges of first degree homicide were reduced for all the teens to THIRD DEGREE MANSLAUGHTER.

Donchak was out on bail, after paying a $70,000. Hispanic leaders have questioned the fact that the two youths accused of homicide were allowed to leave jail after bail was set at $50,000.

“We know that these are bails in which only 10 percent is applicable”, stated Reverend Miguel Rivera of the National Latino Coalition of Christain Ministers and Leaders (CONLAMIC for its initials in Spanish).
Rivera, who was present at the temple gathering, said that in being judged as adults, these youths will face a jury in a predominantly white town and which shall thus favor the accused.

The boys CHOSE to be tried as adults so it would be a JURY TRIAL.

“If the tables were turned, we would witness that justice does not equally apply to Latinos”, he said.
In his opinion, this murder involved an initiation rite of a “white supremacist gang” and has a lot to do with the anti-immigrant measures promoted by the mayor of the neighboring city of Hazleton, Lou Barletta.

Now this one really flips my lid because there is ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE THESE TEENS WERE INVOLVED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM WITH ANY KIND OF GANG. These teens were FRIENDS - this is a BALD FACED LIE BY THESE RACISTS and what is their goal? To INCITE hostilities! One of the teens is an honor student in high school.. hardly the skinhead thugs they are being portrayed to be. Do these Latino groups assume because they are WHITE and they are YOUNG that they are in white supremacist gangs? Isn’t that a little RACIST? That’s like saying all young Mexican men are members of MS-13 now isn’t it???

Life has changed a lot in Shenandoah since the homicide, said town mayor Thomas O’Neill.

Umm.. it was not a HOMICIDE Mr Mayor - they are now charged with MANSLAUGHTER which is about the same as killing someone with your vehicle BY ACCIDENT.

“The mere existence of a demonstration such as this, which uses immigrants as an excuse, but which is clearly racist, does not help the inhabitants of Shenandoah”, he stated.

Clearly this Mayor does not represent the majority of people in his town and I won’t be surprised if the town does not recall his butt. The people who are INCITING things Mr Mayor are these RACIST groups like MALDEF and dirtbags like Agapito Lopez and Miguel Rivera who travel from town to town and insert racism into situations for their own political/monetary gain - much like Rev Al Sharpton and Rev Jesse Jackson - who also apply the label of “Reverend” in a totally incorrect way.

He insisted on creating a liaison committee to attend to the complaints and worries of the Latino community in Shenandoah. With regard to the threats that members of the Hispanic community ensure they have been the targets of, O’Neill stated that he was unaware of such incidents.

That’s because they aren’t true! Let’s talk about the threats endured by the families of the teens by the illegal alien Mexicans in this town shall we?

“I am the most interested in ensuring that this does not happen in our town”, he stated. “It’s difficult to know if this is true if people do not report it to the authorities”.
He said that if the people are scared of turning to the police, they can turn to him to accompany them to report such acts.
“If anyone feels threatened, he/she can come call me at home and I will answer”, he affirmed. The mayor’s phone number is (not provided)

And let’s take a look at Miguel Rivera - who is he and what makes HIM an expert on Shenandoah exactly?

Here he inserted himself into the Oklahoma legislation (that passed and is in effect by the way) that made it illegal to employ and rent to illegal aliens. He actually stated that this bill and it’s supporters were guilty of ETHNIC CLEANSING! More on that gem here!

More here on his views on the Oklahoma legislation and his attempts to make the law into something racist (see the pattern?)

Here is a discussion about his involvement in attempts by Riverside, NJ to enforce immigration laws. A quote from him “Riverside is going to be ours”. Read about that here.

Oh and here he is jumping into an incident in Rhode Island and yet again, inflating the racial nature of the incident. For Mr Rivera it is all about White people hating on Hispanics.  To want our laws enforced and to STOP this INVASION of our country by mostly Hispanic illegal aliens is to be racist in his eyes. And Mr Rivera, it seems, wants to point HIS finger at US for “hate speech” but I would like to point out how HATEFUL the SPEECH and the LIES are in the Al Dia article above and it is HE who contributed to it. For every finger you point at others, Mr Rivera, you have at least THREE pointing back at yourself.

I’ll update this list more after some digging…
