EVIDENCE FOR A FENCE


During the 34 months from the beginning of the violence in September 2000 until the construction of the first continuous segment of the security fence at the end of July 2003, Samaria-based terrorists carried out 73 attacks in which 293 Israelis were killed and 1950 wounded. In the 11 months between the erection of the first segment at the beginning of August 2003 and the end of June 2004, only three attacks were successful, and all three occurred in the first half of 2003.

Since construction of the fence began, the number of attacks has declined by more than 90%. The number of Israelis murdered and wounded has decreased by more than 70% and 85%, respectively, after erection of the fence.

Well, if we use the example of the security fence on Israels border as a point of reference, we see that a physical barrier actually does work. Wow, what a shocker, huh.

The Congress has basically gutted the bill(last week)that would have allowed(mandated)a double layer fence on our SW border with Mexico. This fence would have been based on a similar model as the Israeli fence and would have slowed illegal traffic and all the crime generated by such activity to near zero, just as it has in Israel.

It would seem that DHS and the Feds are not going to act in the interest of the public and spend OUR tax dollars on what the PEOPLE want. Why? Good question. I wonder if it has to do with the now famous Highway planned to be built from Mexico through the Midwest U.S. and finally into Canada? Or possibly it would be a barrier to the joining of U.S./Canada/Mexico into the now fabled North American alliance, a la the EU.? Or it would hinder the lessening of American economic power by not allowing the import of Third world citizens by the millions now, who have no knowledge of our history, like the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Revolutionary War and its implications on freedom, Civil war and its implications on slavery, or just the simple ability to speak English.

Also, don't you think that a very serious and dangerous attack 0n the U.S. could come out of that lawless and un- patrolled desert region of Mexico? It would not have to come in the form of a bomb(dirty or otherwise), but in the form of a biological attack. Inject a hundred border crossers(or a thousand)with smallpox, ebola or whatever virulent nastiness you would like to use and voila!. Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, San Diego, L.A., etc. could come under attack with out a shot fired.

And if the attack was especially nasty and effective, what effect would that have on the citizens of our nation and our liberties all because the Gov refused to act?

GETTING THEIR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT

Secure Fence Act Hoax of 2006
In the fall of 2006 when Congress passed and the President signed into law the Secure Fence Act, most Americans thought they understood what they were getting. The plain text of the law states that "the Secretary of Homeland Security shall provide for [at] least 2 layers of reinforced fencing, the installation of additional physical barriers, roads, lighting, cameras, and sensors" along a specified range of the U.S.-Mexico border. The Act then stipulated the precise regions of the border, covering a total of 854 miles. [Note: using Google Earth, Grassfire has created a short video showing the precise areas that have been mandated by the Secure Fence Act to have double-layer fencing. View here.]

But the very same day that the Senate passed the Secure Fence Act, Senate leaders had already hatched a plan to, in essence, un-do the Act. More precisely stated, Congress passed another law giving the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)discretion over how and where the fence would actually be built. That night, after the Secure Fence Act was passed, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison rose to the floor of the Senate and expressed her concern that the Act was too restrictive and would impose too much of a burden on Texas' border communities. Hutchison then submitted into the record two letters written earlier that day. The first was a letter she had received from Majority Leader Bill Frist earlier in the day addressing Sen. Hutchison's concerns; the second, Frist's letter to House and Senate leaders issuing specific legislative directives related to Hutchison's concerns. The letter made three stipulations:

1. Congress "will work with the Department of Homeland Security" (DHS) to consult with state governments, local governments, and Native American tribes "regarding the exact placement of fencing and other physical infrastructure along the southwest border of the United States."
2. Legislation will give DHS "flexibility to use alternative physical infrastructure" instead of fencing when DHS sees fit.
3. The legislation will "clarify the definition of operational control of the border" to ensure a "workable standard for the Department."

Well, looks like NO fence for protection of the American public from potential terrorist activity and the illegal immigrant invasion , but .............



WASHINGTON -- After delaying a domestic satellite-surveillance program for more than two months, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff expects to finalize a new charter for it this week, a move that attempts to quell civil-liberties concerns and get the program back on track.

Mr. Chertoff also plans soon to unveil a cyber-security strategy, part of an estimated $15 billion, multiyear program designed to protect the nation's Internet infrastructure. The program has been shrouded in secrecy for months and has also prompted privacy concerns on Capitol Hill because it involves government protection of domestic computer networks.

Both areas put Homeland Security in the middle of a public debate over domestic spy powers, kicked off by the revelation two years ago that the National Security Agency had been eavesdropping on some conversations in the U.S. without a warrant. In the fall, the department put the satellite program on hold after an outcry on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers have also asked Mr. Chertoff to delay the introduction of the cyber-security initiative. "One lesson I've learned is it's not enough to say we know what we're doing is going to be OK," Mr. Chertoff said in an interview. "We've got to really make it clear to the public that we're doing this, but we're not doing that."

The satellite program, which would be run by a new department branch called the National Applications Office, would expand the domestic use of satellite imagery by federal and local authorities.

.............it seems that the Feds sure can get that Domestic spying system up and operational on time.

How much does the Federal government think the public will take? They blatantly attack our sensibilities and desires, ignoring the American people. It seems that not even drug activity, murders, plots to attack Federal installations, rape of American women and kidnappings can motivate the gov to enforce the border. Why?

WHAT COST FALSE SAFETY














What is the one aspect of the rash of shootings(Virginia Tech, Nebraska mall, Colorado mega-church) that the main stream media is not reporting? HMMM? It seems that all of these incidents occurred in what our Political Shepherds like to call "Gun Free Zones", the imaginary places in the minds of our politically correct leadership that endeavors to makes us feel all warm, cozy and free from violence. All they really are actually are magnets for murderers. A "No Fireams Allowed" sign might as well say,"If Your Intention Is To Murder As Many People As Possible, You Are In The Right Place, Happy Hunting!".

The shooter at Virginia Tech came into contact with 450 to 500 people during his spree. None armed, none able to intercede in any way to protect themselves. Even the on campus security were disarmed. The only armed person was the killer stalking the kids and faculty, eventhough Virginia has Concealed Carry for law abiding citizens. At least one of the faculty members is a Concealed Carry Permit holder, but school policy dictates that only killers may have a weapon on campus.

The Nebraska mall shooter stood at the top of an escalator as he targeted shoppers. Nebraska does have Concealed Carry, but is restrictive on law abiding people. And anyway, the mall has a no concealed carry policy. It seems that it really worked too, since no one was armed in this incident except the idiot with the AK47 at the top of the steps. Warm and cozy, wouldn't you say?

Now, lets examine the Colorado mega-church. On the Saturday night before this incident, a shooter shot and killed some folks at a Christian facility and escaped. The next day, the leadership at this Colorado Springs church made a decision:
Rev. Brady Boyd, senior pastor of New Life Church, said the church had a security plan in place.

"I'm proud of the way our team responded," he said. "Many, many lives were saved because of the quick action of some committed volunteers at our church.

He said about 7,000 people were at the church, which had just completed a late-morning service, when the shooting took place shortly after 1 p.m. The shooter had several weapons and over a thousand rounds of ammunition. The church though had a person on site, a Concealed Carry permit holder who helped put an end to the altercation. In comparing the three instances here, what conclusions can we draw?

If we leave the ability to defend ourselves up to State officials, we basically have NO defense individually. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled twice that law enforcement has no duty to answer your 9-1-1 call. If we as individual citizens do not recognize the fact that the world is dangerous, and that are personal security resides with us, then we will be at the mercy of the criminal element. Read:

"In the especially gruesome landmark case the “no-duty” rule got ugly. Just before dawn on March 16, 1975, two men broke down the back door of a three-story home in Washington, D.C., shared by three women and a child. On the second floor one woman was sexually attacked. Her housemates on the third floor heard her screams and called the police.

The women’s first call to D.C. police got assigned a low priority, so the responding officers arrived at the house, got no answer to their knocks on the door, did a quick check around, and left. When the women frantically called the police a second time, the dispatcher promised help would come—but no officers were even dispatched.

The attackers kidnapped, robbed, raped, and beat all three women over 14 hours. When these women later sued the city and its police for negligently failing to protect them or even to answer their second call, the court held that government had no duty to respond to their call or to protect them. Case dismissed." -

False security. Costly and ineffective.

AN OPEN MEMO TO ALL WHO LOVE LIBERTY

"Ok liberal boy, tell me again how my gun was meant for militia time service and I should have a license to use it and Europe is so so much better because of their strict gun regulations. Did it ever occur to you that the most crime ridden places in the US also have the toughest gun laws? You know why, because by definition, criminals break the law. So when you make me register, license, or otherwise forbid me a gun, then the only person who has one is the felon about to rob me and assault my girl. But thanks for the help moron." - Anonymous

OPEN BORDERS AND LOSS OF SOVREIGNTY





"The next day Mr. Pons removed his post from his blog. His text was deemed an incitement to violence. It is taboo in Europe to say that if the state fails to protect the citizens, the citizens should do so themselves. There is no Second Amendment in Europe. Even European politicians from the so-called "right," like Mr. Sarkozy, are horrified at the suggestion that citizens should be allowed to protect themselves against criminals. Last year, Mr. Sarkozy told French radio: "Security is the responsibility of the state. I am against the private ownership of firearms. If you are assaulted by an armed burglar, he will use his weapon more effectively than you anyway, so you are risking your life."The result is that in France only the criminals are armed, while decent citizens, even those as brave as Anne-Lorraine, perish." -









This article is eye opening. Five million Muslims living in areas the French called "zones urbaines sensibles" (sensitive urban areas). These are no go zones for law enforcement and where militant Muslims hold sway. The open border - open immigration policy and the welcome beginnings of loss of national identity in the name of multi-culturalism has shown itself for what it is ... national suicide. The immigrants are dictating the law, not the state enforcing the law as it should be. This all allows a view of what can happen anywhere in which people are not encouraged to assimilate, learn the history of the country, and encouraged to take on that nations national identity.




To take in our fellow man from far flung nations has always been the American way. It is one of the many things which makes the U.S. different from other nations. But, we need to receive people in a lawful way, as many millions that came here over the last two centuries or more. The many other millions which did come here illegally have no need or desire to become American, only to dine on the tremendous economy and send the winnings of their activities back home to the tune of millions of dollars a year. This is why Mexico will not help in the illegal immigration activity on our border. Those American dollars are a staple to their own economy. That open border is key for those dollars, and for the flow of illegal drugs into the country. Big money makers for Mexico.




If the people of the United States ignores this threat of invasion, a total transformation of our nation will be at hand. The members of the illegal immigrant community, without any sense of the history of our nation, with all the meaning of the sacrifice of past Americans lost in the sands of history, without the desire to be American, these will allow our Constitution and the very law which binds us together as Americans fall and ultimately fail, trampled upon by those who care not about American values, those both in high and low places.

ISLAMO-FASCISM PARIS STYLE


"IN retrospect, it was not a good idea to have left his pistol at home. Called to the scene of a traffic accident in the Paris suburbs last Sunday, Jean-François Illy, a regional police chief, came face to face with a mob of immigrant youths armed with baseball bats, iron bars and shotguns.

What happened next has sickened the nation. As Illy tried to reassure the gang that there would be an investigation into the deaths of two teenagers whose motorbike had just collided with a police car, he heard a voice shouting: “Somebody must pay for this. Some pigs must die tonight!”

The 43-year-old commissaire realised it was time to leave, but that was not possible: they set his car ablaze. He stood as the mob closed in on him, parrying the first few baseball bat blows with his arms. An iron bar in the face knocked him down.

“I tried to roll myself into a ball on the ground,” said Illy from his hospital bed. He was breathing with difficulty because several of his ribs had been broken and one had punctured his lung.

His bruised and bloodied face signalled a worrying new level of barbarity in the mainly Muslim banlieues, where organised gangs of rioters used guns against police in a two-day rampage of looting and burning last week....................."

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article2983714.ece

Well ... a glimpse of the future straight from ole Par-ee.

After two young men of Muslim background were killed in a traffic accident last month, their motorcycle running into the side of a police van, Paris suburbs have been a battle zone. Using shotguns, hunting rifles, molotov cocktails and home made bazookas firing payloads of glass shards and nails, the mob, made up of immigrant youth, have been inflicting serious injury on law enforcement officers. This is really a continuation of the riots that took place a couple of years ago when some members of a group of young men, who were being chased by police, ran into a power station to hide and were electrocuted. This sparked days of rioting with over 1500 hundred cars being incinerated by the gangs. This time around, a library and school have been burned down along with the racheting up of the fire power used versus law enforcement. Seems a bit more organized this time around to me. I wonder how long it will be until a Christian is hauled from their domicile by these thugs and beheaded or burned to death on the street.

My point : I believe that this is just a pre-cursor to the trouble that Europe is going to see over the next few years and serves as an example to the US on how important LEGAL immigration is with all of its checks and balances. As Islam assimilates Europe and dictates policy to them, we see our South West being consumed by illegals. Europe is basically borderless, multi-culturalism and political correctness in action, and is beginning to show just how dangerous this foolishness of surrendering ones national identity really is.

Border fence anyone?

THE REACH OF SOVEREIGNTY


Miguel Antonio Dejesus, 38, and Diego Ortiz, 30, were shot outside of Texan Joe Horn's,61, home last week. I guess these two illegal immigrants were just doing a job that Americans won't do, huh?

The people of Texas, especially near the border, have been the targets of murder, rape, burglary, kidnapping, loss of property value, neighborhoods beset by illegal drug activity all while the local and Federal governments pay no attention to their plight. Many bloggists and talk show hosts have been wondering when the citizenry of Texas will have had enough. Well, we may have arrived to that point.

There has been those who try and equate this to a racially motivated incident, since Joe Horn happened to be white and the two thieves black. Others call Joe Horn a vigilante that overstepped his social bounds by involving himself in a crime that did not involve him, since it was his neighbors home being robbed. Texas law does state you can protect your own property from criminals and it may or may not be true that these two bad guys were actually in Joe's yard at the time of the shootings. And it may have to be decided whether it was lawful under his state law for Mr. Horn to act to protect his neighbors assets.

To me, none of that matters. Who would not want a neighbor like Joe Horn? A man who obviously cares about his home, his neighbors home and well being and who had the balls to confront evil nose to nose and shut it down. Who out there goes to work and can be at home with their possessions every minute? Their mates? Their kids? It sure would be nice to have a caring person watching over us when our backs are turned, don't you think? And it is a matter of sovereignty.

As an American citizen, do we have the right to defense of our own life? Our families? How about our property, like our home or car or wedding rings? Do we have the duty to render assistance to our neighbor? Maybe a elderly man who is being beat upon or a young neighbor woman being sexually assaulted or a child being mistreated in the most heinous of ways(baby Grace) ... can we step across that imaginary line and protect our fellow person who shares our street when deadly force may be needed? And if we do, where does it end? It is my belief that a person has a right of self defense that includes his home, neighborhood, state and nation.

With the borders unenforced and national sovereignty dissolving, and with what I think is the morally correct decision to protect ones fellow man and, dare I say the American way of life which is intertwined in the rule of law, what exactly is Mr. Horn guilty of?
