TRAFFICKING AND FILM LINKS

Did you get any Trick or Treaters? We only got four, but that was better than last year when we only got two. Maybe next year we'll get more. Anyway, we're not going to be around for a couple of days, so I wanted to leave you with a couple of links.


The first one concerns a subject that none of us really likes to talk about; its under the radar status is mostly due to our inability to deal with uncomfortable subjects, and we tend to think this is something that happens to other people, far removed from our lives and our society. Unfortunately, human trafficking is big business and it is a worldwide problem. The effects are devastating beyond belief. We live in an unfair world, and it can be cruel, especially to the innocents. If you ever need a hotline because maybe you suspect, or maybe you see something that doesn't seem right, or maybe you just hear something, especially down here - check out this link, you just might be saving someones life:

And from Bob Fertik over on Democrats.com," No End In Sight " is now available on DVD, good, because I didn't get to see it and it is supposed to be a real powerhouse, so thanks Bob, appreciate the information:

BAJA NOMAD SEEKS REVENGE AND A FEW QUESTIONS RE AMERICAN RUN XMB BOARDS IN BAJA AND PORNOGRAPHY





Heh everyone, hope you are having a haunting day. Hundreds more hits today from none other than, guess who? The Baja Nomad! But this time they have a complete topic on me in their secret locked away off-topic area. Wow, can you believe this?

The fact is, is that they who were the ones who initially listed me as a reference; the Baja Nomad listed their number one enemy as an information resource, remember? Wow, how fucking stupid can you get? I never asked them to list my site. All I wanted to do was disassociate myself from that site, which I think has been a complete success, and infact it's working out all for the better because I've picked up hundreds of readers, in addition to exposing them for what they really are, thanks Baja Nomad. Oh, and I'm not selling anything either.


No matter what they are saying, I care not, because they are liars. Of course they are liars, they lie just like George Bush. You know, weapons of mass destruction, mission accomplished, etc. And they are so cowardly they spew out god knows what behind my back, how juvenile, petty and insecure can you get? If they are saying the same things about me as they do about the Mexicans, Obrador, Al Gore and Cindy Sheehan, Ed Schultz, the Mexican Teachers Union, Code Pink, Micheal Moore, Moveon, JFK, Martin Luther King, RFK and Greenpeace,Jimmy Carter, Bob Filner, Barbara Boxer,
Dennis Kucinich, Jimi fucking Hendrix, NRDC, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, the Teamsters, the NAACP, the entire Peace movement and the majority of Americans and people throughout the entire world who hate George Bush then well shit, I'm in with some pretty good company, so thanks Baja Nomad, outasight ! At least I am upfront and open with information. And, not only that, I even let the cretans leave comments here. I wonder why they don't? I wonder why they won't? What are they hiding? Well, perhaps now when those big RV's go rolling down Hwy. numero uno, the Mexican Cops will search them real good for guns, and perhaps they will be just a little bit reluctant and think twice before smuggling in freon canisters into the USA.

I noticed alot of you, after leaving the Nomad are clicking on the sewage report from San Antonio Del Mar. Please, if you have any questions, fire away, both myself and residents here, Mexican and American alike, will gladly share information with you. In addition, after the blog about San Antonio Del Mar, I have a link to the videos that were taken on the beach at San Antonio Del Mar. You know, funny thing, after we exposed Dedina he just sort of crawled away with his tail between his legs. He does not represent us, nor does he represent the Mexican people. It is unfortunate that Americans living down here, because of his slick PR, contact him instead of the Mexican Environmental agencies and BTW, I believe I left links to those agencies a couple of blogs above the article about SADM .

We are vigilant and up to date on water quality reports, believe me, I wouldn't be surfing like I was today if I thought I could pick up hepatitis.


And, let me also share this with you: Neither the Surfrider Foundation, which represents surfers not only on the West, but East coasts, or the Sierra Club supports Serge Dedina. But they do indeed support the Bajagua Project. We are trying like crazy to get this Bajagua project going, both the Mexican people and agencies and the Americans - and that includes both Representatives from both parties. Serge Dedina has fought the Bajagua project tooth and nail from the very beginning, and even threatened he would sue Bob Filner, unfreakinbelievable. We are watching Diane Feinstein like a hawk, because she is the one who is holding it up, and her motives are questionable, particularly since she made millions off Iraq war contracts and did NOTHING to help the vets with medical assistance at Walter Reed, even though she sat on that committee. Further, it was NRDC who helped the Mexican agencies save the areas down by San Quintin and San Ignacio, not Serge Dedina. Serge Dedina had nothing at all to do with the (temporary) pullout of Mobil Oil from the proposed LNG facility; the real pressure was put on by the Mexican residents of the Playas. And, don't get your hopes up too high, because the Mexican government seized the land at La Joya and have already graded roads to accomodate trucks and pipelines. There is a huge possibility that Mobil Oil just might reenter the picture, especially if they offer TJ a sweetheart deal with infrastructure. In addition, Dedina had nothing at all to do with the LNG offshore plant north of Ensenada, he was a true Johnny come lately. That deal was signed, sealed and delivered between a private Mexican landowner and the corporates long, long before his little video through Surfer Magazine. So, yea, anyone can have a slick site,falsely claim they are responsible for environmental actions and hit you up for money, what a bunch of crap.

And here's the kicker Baja Nomad, no matter what you say behind my back, it doesn't matter,because we all know you are crooks and liars and because the information which I put out about your organization is open and out there on the net for freakin eternity, for anyone to read. Next time you decide you are going to list a site for reference, maybe you should check it out first. DUH.
You stepped on your own dick and now you are crying about it, well too fucking bad.


Oh and P.S., my husband works for DHS, that is a fact; for 15 years he worked for DOJ, why does the Baja Nomad have a problem with that? Are they hiding something?



And one last quesion for the Baja Nomad, maybe they can straighten this out, but Baja Nomad is powered by XMB, the same XMB that powered the old Punta Banda Community Board which was shut down about two years ago. That was the board that was linked to pornography. Basically all of its members were Porno sites. They were added constantly, there must have been at least into the hundreds and thousands of them. When I was there - and heehee nope, I wasn't banned - all the time these new members would show up on the bottom, constantly. So, I thought, oh good a new person, but when I would click their name, a porn site would come up. Finally, I went to the members directory and started clicking on names, and one right after the other were porn sites. It was really creepy and weird. So, I guess my question is, what's up with XMB? The new Punta Banda Community Board is clean. But, is this characteristic of XMB? And, who was running that old Punta Banda Community Board? I mean, it wasn't running by itself, was it ? I guess someone who is an expert in telecommunications would know, right? And, what is really weird, is that if you did and actually if you still do a cached search, the Baja Nomad and the Punta Banda Community Boards come up together, they did in the past and they still do now, side by side. How is this tied into the Baja Amigos Board? And, these aren't Mexican boards, they are run by Americans. Wasn't Blackie from Vegas a Telecommunications expert? Oh right, now I remember, he worked your Board a couple years back too. It's so confusing, you guys have so many Boards. Maybe you can straighten all this out for us someday. Look, here's the link from a few years back, when the Punta Banda Community Board was operating as a front for Porno, and, this had been going on for years prior to 2004, and ended oh let's see, I think that was in 2005:

Okay, first of all, type in www.goggle.com.mx/search and click the link.
Now, type in Punta Banda Community Board and hit Buscar con Google.
Now, scroll down and then you will see it :

"Baja Nomad - powered by XMB Punta Banda Community Board"

So, all that time, the Baja Nomad operated the Punta Banda Community Board ? Or the Punta Banda community board operated the Baja Nomad? Which was it? Do you still to this day? Were you know, like being paid to let these thousands of links appear on that old site? And, that chick who was coming unglued and left her comments here, pjcnlv, her blog on her profile lists her industry as telecommunications from Las Vegas, look (before she deletes it):

TEXT

And yet, the moment I mentioned the Punta Banda Porno Club, man she just fucking vanished, weird, huh?

And now that I'm thinking about it, many many years ago, like in 1989 when we had a trailer there, Nova (whose first husband completely set up the Punta Banda Fire Department) and her second husband, John St. Pierre had one of the local San Diego TV News Stations come down and checkout some AMERICAN child molesters at Punta Banda. At the time, we thought she was off her rocker becuase they were really strict fundamentalists, and we only went there to get away on the weekends, but maybe Nova was on to something. Apparently the local San Diego News station thought there was something there, because they did a broadcast on it. And, it just goes to show you that you never really know about a place until you actually live there.

And now that I think about it, these porno links at the Baja Nomad/ Punta Banda Community Board had links that would connect people with prostitutes in Baja. And, isn't that whole business, pornography, prostitution, child porn, tied into organized crime ? So, let me get this straight, for years, the Baja Nomad was at least affiliated with a Pornography front, you can't tell me you didn't know about it, and you were painting yourselves as a family fun place wrapped up so tight in the American flag that it made your eyes pop out? Yea, I know, O.J. and Cunningham claimed they were innocent too.

Wow, that must have been a money maker, huh?

Oh, I almost forgot, there's a guy, an American who lives in Campo La Jolla, he's into making films and communications. He is from Burbank, or so he says. He has a huge workshop there, and he's supposed to be an expert in telecommunications and his hobby is dirt bike racing, well, he's a fan, or so he says. He's a fat guy, older, like in his 60's, used to drive a white pickup truck, kind of a creepy guy - but what's new? I mean the Pabloffs let anyone into that Camp. He never did say what kinds of film he was making, and he had a shitload of high tech commuter gear too, I remember him bragging about that. Interesting, isn't it? I guess there are just tons of ways for seedy Americans to make money down here, aren't there?


Robin from the San Diego Union, check in baby, I think this is a real good story.



Heh, see you guys later and have a spooky one,and if there's anything you ever want clarified or to ask, just ask, this isn't a locked topic.

HEAD FOR THE HILLS, THE DAMS A GONNA BUST!!




Except, there aren't any hills to run to, are there? Holy moly, what a day ! I'm listening to the audio of the debates and typing this at the same time. I believe we talked about this several months back with a link to Juan Cole on the Mosul Dam, so really this is not new news, but it is an affirmation of more incompetance brought to you by the Bush administration (MISSION ACCOMPLISHED) and these shady deals made with private US contractors which you and I as taxpayers are paying for. Here is a clip from NPR if you missed the story this morning: (sorry, Biden just made me laugh about Rudy Guliani, heeheehee)

And, Needlenose, and I love swopa's comment at the end:

HOW THE BAJA NOMAD WORKS

Okay, this is going to be my last rant on the Baja Nomad. But for all of you unsuspecting tourists, these are the facts you should be aware of.

First of all, the primary reason why the Baja Nomad exists is to make money. There's nothing wrong with making money, but these people are the lowest bottom crawlers on the food chain. The owner of the Nomad, Doug Means, does not live in Baja, he operates out of La Jolla California in collusion with another site, Baja.com. The object, their "angle" is to sell the unknowing tourist maps, books and insurance at incredibly inflated prices, and to promote devastating car and ORV racing in Baja.

In addition, they promote hotels and properties which are run by Americans, some of which at this very moment are under scrutiny from the Mexican government for true ownership rights. Most of the properties which they are pushing are not run by or owned by Mexicans. Here is an example of the greedy bastards drooling over "making some change" and also their affiliation with yet another promoter, a radio station which glosses over the realities of Mexico with prudence:

TEXT

In addition, they will connect you with pilots who are not Mexican, running private planes in Baja.

Their soft sell approach lures the unknowing in, painting Baja as a romantic sleepy - time place, you know the pitch. They assume characters on their sites and on different blog spots revelling in the greatness and beneficence of the Baja Nomad, it's all staged.

The problem with all this is that in reality, these people care nothing for the environment or the Mexican people, infact, they would probably prefer that there were no Mexicans at all living in Baja, to them, the Mexicans are a nuisance and an obstacle in the way of their money making schemes. They are rabid supporters of George Bush and the neocons, and they openly admit they do not believe there is any such thing as Global Warming.

Is there anything illegal about this? No, except for the fact that they brag to each other and openly on the web to bearing arms in Mexico, and smuggling freon up to the States, which by the way, is a far more lucrative business than smuggling cocaine and one has to wonder how much of their generated income is actually declared here in Mexico and the United States. And, one has to wonder how ethical these people are, not very.

When confronted, they are dangerous and they are liars. Because if you confront them, and if you expose them, you threaten the very thing that is the most important to them, money. They have developed damage control into an art form, and they are good at it, so good, it makes Karl Rove and Condi Rice look like an amateurs. And, they will do anything, they are desperate to convince you as a tourist and consumer that their version, their perception of Mexico is a reality, when in truth, it has little to do with the reality of Baja California at all.

Over the years, the United States has maintained a bad track record in Mexico and Latin America as an Imperialist promoter of banana republics and a looter of Mexican and Latin American resources. This group fits nicely into that equation, they are the Ugly Americans, in all the true sense of the definition. Am I jealous? Nope, I just don't like liars and assholes and nazis.

So, buyer beware, because these guys are professional land sharks, don't get bit.


See you later.

BAJA NOMAD DELETES LINK TO MAGGIE AFTER MAGGIE BUSTS THE BAJA NOMAD NAZIS and A MESSAGE TO BAJAJUDY

Well thank fucking God, because there is no way in hell that I ever want to be associated with those creepy Nazis, I never asked them to link to me, but hahaha finally it is out there what a bunch of rasist pigs these people are, and you know what - they will NEVER be able to delete that or their political standings from the internets, they can call me a lesbian (which I am not) and call me crazy, but the fact is that they are obscene white trash and Bush lovers and Americans who come down here that think they own the fucking country and everyone needs to kiss their ass because they have alot of money. So listen up Mex-Americans, do you really want to associate with these creeps? While the owner of this site is sitting on his ass in fucking La Jolla laughing at you and using you and your culture to make mucho dinero with the poor of excuse of being a travel blog? Did I mention that they threatened me physically a couple of years back? Well, they did. And they are fucking liars, just like their idol George Bush: the owner and mods will change wordings to posts and messages,they constantly belittle Mexicans right and left forward and backwards, fuck these guys! It is fucking unbelievable.

Okay guys, so here's the deal, we're having dinner, but I did (sneaky me) make a copy of the post with a link to my blog, and now, at 7:31 PM I just made a copy of the post with the link deleted and I'll have Mike PHOTOGRAPH it and and post it later. GOOD, they FINALLY got the fucking message and deleted the link to me - I guess so after 200 fucking hits.

Fuck You Baja Nomad and kiss my ass. You pricks are too fucking chickenshit to make comments here, and Dennis, fuck you, I don't even know who the fuck you are, but you are obviously brain dead like your pals the Nazis. You piece of shit, go jerk Grover off, he's waiting for you. Oh, you already have, OKAY.

And you know what, I am so fucking pissed off right now, I think we are just going to reopen alot of issues, like the fact that you Baja Nomad and your members brag about smuggling freon into the United States and you Baja Nomad and your members brag about bringing guns and keeping automatic weapons in and into Mexico. How about the real estate market? Let's find out once and for all just how much of your profits are really declared to the IRS, huh? And further, I think some of the Raza sites need this information, if they don't have it already. Don't ever fuck with me, I promise you, you will regret it, that's how fucking crazy I am. And, don't ever fucking link to me again.

DENNIS, GO WADE IN THE CESSPOOLS AT PUNTA BANDA, PERFECT PLACE FOR YOU. BTW DENNIS, ARE YOU THERE LEGALLY??? DO YOU PICK UP YOUR DOPE AT THE PUNTA BANDA CAFE OR DO YOU PICK IT UP FROM JERRY THE AMERICAN WHO LIVES AT AQUA CALIENTE???

bajajudy: I just now saw your picture,oh god my eyes, wow what a fucking pig. I mean, what a fucking SOW. Why don't you try to lose some of that fucking weight man you look like fucking shit ! And BTW judy blue eyes, all those books, people can get them for fucking half of what you want. Fuck me man you are one fucking ugly chick and FAT. Jesus fucking Christ what a mess, clean up your act you nazi pig, horrible! Stop it Judy, take those five pieces of fucking cake out of your fucking mouth right now ! It must be difficult, especially since your husband doesn't fuck you and you need to compensate but Christ, aren't there any weight loss programs you can get into down there? What is the fucking problem? Nevermind, stay the way you are, a fat slob Bush supporter. YUCK, how gross and disgusting.

WOW, speaking of ghosts from the past, it peeked my curiousity to see so many visitors here coming from the Baja Nomad. So, I went to their referring link:


Mexico Blogs

TEXT

Heehee you guys, it's me, Margie. Margie was my pseudonym while spending some very unhappy time at that site. Yes, I was banned. Yes, that site is full of hillbillies, dirt bikers and worst of all, George Bush full on supporters and dick lickers. They just love Cheney, jumpin Joe Lieberman and the neocons. Why, even mild mannered Grover was a swift boater against John Kerry. Asshole. Fuck you Grover.

I have never in my life seen such a bunch of fucking assholes and morons, but now I see, they have locked off the Off-Topic, so the unsuspecting guests won't really know what kind of lowlife crawls that site.

About a year back, I even read on another site the owner, what's his name, I've forgotten, anyway he was trying to play down the crime wave in Northern Baja and he said that crime was random, it can happen anywhere. Right, dumb fuck. It's just that here there happens to be an epidemic. DOH.

So, let me take this opportunity to say fuck you to the rednecked retard nazi slimeballs, the Iraq War supporters and BTW, they just love to smuggle Freon, they think it's a big fucking joke, assholes. And, they love to brag how they are all armed down here in Mex. One of them actually stalked me and threatened my husband's job at DHS for helping out the folks after Katrina. So, I guess they just don't like black people either. The same one who frequents another antiquated and bullshit Baja board, Baja.com, supports in full earnest the Trump Towers. And, they hate the Gringo Gazette. I have had some differences with Nancy from time to time, but she's on the ball. As mild as Nancy is over disclosures of Baja reality, she is still a real threat to them. And they hate Mexicans, BTW. Let me clarify that, they like Mexicans to stay subservient and they want Mexico to stay a two class system, and they do like to keep Mexicans as slaves, because afterall, these have got to be the cheapest pricks you will ever meet and it is fucking highly doubtful that they would ever support the Mexican Teachers Union, or even an increase in the minimum wage down here. They like it cheap, cheap and cheaper, the cheaper, the better. I also see they now have a "teen" spot, ah - a place for the young neo-nazis, just like the Hitler youth of old. I wonder, do they were uniforms, you know, like the Boy and Girl Scouts? Or, are the kids just fitted for those old and dreary white robes with the cut out faces and pointy caps? What fun it must be for them as they get into their RV's and caravan down here en masse singing an all time favorite:


TEXT


Or, I bet you, you know what, Grover and David K try to outdo each other over the campfire over this one, I bet they even have a battery operated karioke machine and sing this long into the night: (Liberals, beware, this is long and painful)


TEXT



Speaking of cheaper, you can buy your insurance and books CHEAPER from everywhere but that place, such a bullshit rip off, because despite liking it cheap here, they will gauge the fucking shit out of you and make money off the sweat off the backs of the Mexicans. Such a shining example of the white supremist American assholes down here and living in the States who view Baja as their private playground and a shake your money maker.

Is the Gull still around? Is he and his whole brigade of chums, including the owner of the site still arguing that there is no such thing as Global Warming? You mean to tell me that they didn't try to get tickets to see Al Gore when he spoke in Tijuana? Oh, that's right, now I remember, they called him a goof ball and I guess that means they didn't see the latest Mike Moore flick either? So then, no conversions. Well, that's understandable with blockheads and dumb shits. Or did he & the goon squad finally take a long walk on a short pier? How about Blackie, or is Blackie really Oso? Or is Blackie really Minnow? Who the fuck is Blackie anyway? Who the fuck cares? And you know what, the freakin owners of that site don't even live here, it's pure bullshit.

Too bad about JR, but he was an asshole too.

Anyway, welcome to Maggie's Madness. And if you miss "Radio Free Baja" coming to you live, which I used to post on their Suggestions link after they banned me but can't anymore because they finally got hep and now you have to be registered to post there - Jesus Christ it took them long enough to figure that one out dumb shits - and I must admit, that was fun, you can always hang out here.

Oh, P.S. We are thrilled that the Punta Banda Community Board was Fucking FORCED to shut down because of their links to pornography, a real big business down here, that and child abuse and smuggling, and slave sex smuggling. And, not only me but alot of people would still just love to stick that freon cannister up Bill M's ass - anytime, Bill you piece of white trash shit.

heeheehee.

Sing the blues baby:

P.P.S. It's ok comitan, I guess you didn't know, whoops, better edit that post and take the link to me off hurry quick before they ban you. Maybe they will share some of my arguments with JR and the others with you, they were priceless.

THE NEOCONS ARE AT IT AGAIN: UN CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF THE SEA





We all know that NAFTA and CAFTA are huge disasters regarding human rights and the environment, not to mention failed and closed business after business in the USA. But, a uninational agreement to protect the oceans is far different than a corporate
feeding frenzy over billion dollar profits. And this is where the neocons, the isolationists, the nationalists, and the extreme fringe of environmentalists who approach countries like Mexico with an in your face belicose attitude and behavior really miss the boat. These extremes foster hostility and non-cooperation, which is just what the Corporates want; while steaming rants and diatribes accelerate, the Corporates just rub their greedy little hands together and move forward full steam ahead with their rape of the land, the air and the sea. Are you surprised that the energy sector and even the Bush administration is actually for ratification? Well, don't worry, because according to David Ridenour, "In a great ironic twist, the Law Of The Sea Treaty - supported by many in the energy sector - may give the environmentalists a blunt instrument to use against the industry." How perfect.

Check this out and see what your local neocons are up to lately; I'm surprised Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul didn't make the list and let's keep an eye on those bozos, I'm sure they will side with the other clowns who are anti-Law Of The Sea.

ANOTHER SANTA ANA ON THE WAY





Looks like we are going to have another Santa Ana this coming weekend. It doesn't look like this one on the way will be as rough, but can't say for sure, we'll have to follow the weather reports.


From NOAA:

Is there anything left to burn ??

Oh, and a quickie here; Anney from Ramona over on the Salon had mentioned that there was overexposure to the homes destroyed in Rancho Santa Fe, as opposed to all the folks in the SD Back Country. She was correct, infact, alot of other people had noticed this too, including the guys at Mike's work. I noticed it, and I was dumfounded as hour after hour the local Channel 10 News focused on Rancho Santa Fe and the loooong interviews with the guys who had snuck back in to save their prize collector Jaguars, wearing $500.00 dollar sunglasses.

Take a closer look for yourself at the the homes destroyed: Noone should ever have to go through this suffering, noone, but the percentage of Rancho Santa Fe homes lost is far below the other loses in San Diego County. I guess they received more attention because that's who the media wants you to think who lives here, and it was disgusting.

On the other hand, kudos to Sign On San Diego, twitter out of KPBS: outstanding jobs, and for cryin out loud, even the Ramona Sentinel did a better job than News 10.

Anyway, here's the damage report for San Diego so far:

BAD AIR IN SAN DIEGER









Well guys, right now on the ocean at about 15 miles south of the border, we are overcast with a tight low cloud cover which almost looks subtropical and only a slight onshore breeze. If these clouds hold, the air is going to be trapped, and believe me, the air is bad.

Check it out:

Yet still they are going to hold the football game at the stadium on Sunday. The show must go on, the overcrowding, the wall to wall development, and that's what San Diego is all about if you didn't know it already,a realtor's dream. Heh, don't worry about all the foreclosures, they'll just auction those places off to the well heeled, and then suck in some more suckers from back east.

Way to go San Diego !

Heehee, see you guys later.

BLACKWATER HEISTS PLANES AND WHAT'S UP WITH WACKENHUT TRANSPORTATION? SAN DIEGO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TAKE THIS TO HEART

Hi guys, sorry but the air particulates finally got to me, I still have a splitting headache, I'm sneezing, red eyed out, itching etc. and I need some benadryl. For those of you suffering from the air quality, I heard that Excedrin PM's , one tablet contains 38 mg. of benadryl, check it out on the internets.

But this deserves a blog, from Roberto Roels and I'll try to tie it together with another blog about Blackwater and Wackenhut Transportation.


From the World Tribune
Waxman: Blackwater Stole 2 Iraqi Planes

TEXT

And, rumors are bouncing off the net regarding Blackwater's future relationship with DHS and guarding the US-Mex Border:

From The Mex-Files:

"The (privatized) military - (foreign) industrial complex at the border"

TEXT


So, what's the connection here? Waxman is on a roll, and if he can prove that Blackwater was envolved in the theft of these two planes, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors needs to take this into account, along with the other atrocities committed by Blackwater and deny the land use permit at Potrero, which is supposed to come up later this year.

As you know, the Potrero Community Planning Group okayed Blackwater's land use plan, after which the ones who voted in favor of Blackwater's land use plan now currently
face a recall vote. The final say on the land use will come from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, and if they go along with Blackwater's plans, perhaps they too will be faced with a recall vote. If the San Diego County Board Of Supervisors approves the land use plan and does not take public opinion into account, we might as well rename San Diego the Chicago Machine 2, after Mayor Daley of the 1960's and 1970's fame.

I might be wrong, but I think the rumors of Blackwater supplementing and in a support role of the US Border Patrol is stretching it, and I might be wrong, because take a closer look at the Wackenhut Transportation Group:

My understanding is that the ADR Division (Alien Detention and Removal) was leasing buildings from San Diego for their operations at Brown Field, and San Diego wanted them out. ( For history and problems with Brown Field, see:TEXT Kind of reminds me of how San Diego was leasing Pamo Valley for $1.00 a year to their best buddies,the Department of Agriculture old-timers, who were in cahoots with the San Diego General Plan authors and real estate investors, but that's another story) This was also about the same time that the huge umbrella of DHS consolidated the many agencies of Border Patrol. The rumor was that ADR/DHS was finding the overhead costs of transporting the aliens too high, the maintenance of vehicles too high,in addition to the fact that they were going to have relocate, so they took bids on contracts for transportation. The general assumption is when our Government contracts out, the contract is awarded to the lowest bidder. It would be interesting to see exactly who bid, and what the bids were, but along the way DHS ran into some problems:


TEXT


More shocking, the bid fell to Wackenhut Transportation, despite an extremely bad record and reputation:


TEXT


And here is their parent group, operating worldwide, which made me raise my eyebrows, and while you are there, just type in a search for Wackenhut Transportation:


TEXT


So, are we to think that despite a history of abuse and recklessness, low bidders win out? Is their character not taken into account? Is there something, well, wrong with a foreign owned parent company operating on our Border - does that make you feel a bit uneasy? And most important of all, will the San Diego County Board Of Supervisors follow suit and approve Blackwater's land use plan in Potrero ?

'BAJA'S BURDEN"

A great article from the Union's last Sunday edition:

Baja's Burden
By, Sandra Dibble

TEXT

I added a comment to the fray.

See you guys later, hope everyone is OKAY.


On EDIT to my comments at the Union: The one place I know of for sure that isn't trying to clean up their act is Punta Banda,particularly Campo La Joya (La Jolla) a massive toxic cesspool. No sewage treatment, hundreds of ancient, outdated and substandard cesspools which overflow into the ocean water and onto the ground, no running water,most likely contaminated wells, filth and drug activity, it is THE place to go if you are looking to pick up or put in your orders for meth and other contraband - all brought to you courtesy of the Pabloff family, who don't give a shit about the environment, but their favorite line is..."SHOW ME THE MONEY".

Bye, I have folks here, see you guys later.

TIJUANA SENDS FIREFIGHTERS TO SAN DIEGO

From La Frontera, Tijuana sends firefighters and units to help out:

Van Bomberos De Tijuana A EU

TEXT

Thank You Tijuana. NOW LET'S SEE, THAT'S THE SECOND TIME THEY HAVE OFFERED HANDS ON ASSISTANCE, THEY WERE THERE FOR KATRINA TOO.

Okay, update on Punta Banda Fire: According to Jenny Goaziou, who knows the scoop, some houses were saved at Ejido Cantu. She says the reason they were able to control the fire was due to two natural events, the wind changed and the marine air.

That's it from here, maybe later we can talk about the excellent article on pollution and infrastructure, or lack of it and development on the Baja coastline offered in last Sunday's Union.

One more thing, Belle and Bob House, Wendy and Gary are desperately searching for you, please check in, you are not registered with the Red Cross and they are worried sick.

Hang in there everyone.

Goodnight, from Baja California.

Received email from Gary who said there are five fires in the Punta Banda area, and possibly the people there may have to evacuate.

Calm here, but waiting to hear from Mike, as the Otay area is now being evacuated, I do not know how this will effect the DHS headquarters.

No wind here.

HUGE DISASTER: SO CA. FIRES AND THE DEVIL WINDS

Hi guys, it's really bad here. We came back from Jacumba only to go through the Potrero & Tecate fires. Luckily no fire here, although the sky was just literally black. Last night the wind which was the most ferocious that I ever remember in all my life, just suddenly stopped. It was incredibly spooky, the moon was red, ash and dust and dirt all over. I opened the doors and windows because I couldn't breathe but the air smelled bad, like burning firewood. Finally we fell asleep, only to have the wind pick up again, and now it's just plain hot, dry, dusty and I'm dealing with a house full of dust and dirt, which is a blessing compared to what all the other people are going through.

Our electricity has been eratic, it was off last night for several hours, then again this morning, infact it just now came back on.

I'll check back later, take care out there everyone.

A GREAT ANALYSIS OF GENERAL SANCHEZ FROM MICHAEL ROBERTS

Sorry, you're going to have to scroll down to read this one, but it is a must read.
From opednews, and scroll down under OpEd News Op-Eds, the green column to October 15th:


Behind The Sanchez Rant

Wow, looks like the left rah-rah team for Sanchez really missed the boat on this one, what an excellent analysis. Maybe if I have time later, I'll type it out, I like oped news, but you can't pull up the individual editorials.

RON PAUL IS A FUCKING RACIST - VOLKSGEMEINSCHAFT




I'm writing this because of Kevin's comment early this morning to my last post, and unfortunately, the link I wanted to use didn't come up because I typed it in wrong because I have this shitty caulk all over my hands.

I do read right leaning blogs, just to see what they are up to, and it's always a good idea to know your enemies. At any rate, here is Captains Quarters, with excellent links on Ron Paul's racism:

But here's an even better one:

Stormfront? Oh come on, fuck me, bunch of fucking Nazis.

Ron Paul Disturbs Me, But So Does Rupert Murdoch & Hillary




Heh guys, what's happening? Jeez, all of a sudden we went from hot to cold here, it is really cool here, I had to put on a sweater. A sweater ! YIKES! Anyway, we are almost finished with framing in the wall we knocked down to the piano room, and I am totally exhausted. I am looking forward to a couple of days out in the desert at Jacumba Hot Springs, and I told Mike to get out the camera so that I can take some pics, even though I'm a lousy photographer.

Meanwhile, what's up with this Ron Paul? Is this guy a racist or what? Yep, I'm pretty sure he is, although hundreds of thousands of people adore him. Scanning the news tonight, I ran across this link about Hillary's trip to Oakland. As you know, I am not a Diane Feinstein fan, she's a bad one. But she introduced Hillary at the rally, where Ron Paul supporters heckled her. And oddly, I agree with them over her relationship with Rupert Murdoch. But, more and more often I am getting turned off by believers in the new world order, because they tend to be rascist, and there is a thin line, a very thin line between being anti-AIPAC and anti-semitic.

So, here is the article and the video, and what frightens me is that there are so many hundreds of thousands of disaffected people in our society who are buying into this "movement" I guess you could call it - it reminds me historically of the National Socialist Party in its very beginnings, where millions went blindly along in fervent support out of their discontent with hopes of a better life. Problem is, I don't like Hillary, and I don't like Rupert Murdoch. Does anyone out there really believe this ultimate conspiracy regarding the Bilderberg group? I mean normal thinking people, do you really believe this?

Oh, and bummer, Prison Break wasn't on tonight, so I folded clothes.

LT. GENERAL RICARDO SANCHEZ




From this evenings news, Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez blasts the Bush Administration:

A Nightmare With No End In Sight
By, Jim Miklaszewski & Courtney Kube

TEXT


Under different circumstances, I might be jumping up and down right now, sending smoochies to the military brass, but I really am wondering about this guys motivations. Many bloggers out there are rooting and tooting for the General, and predicting a slime slam on him from the right. But not so fast, I don't think the left is quite ready to embrace him, and for these reasons:

Not once did he ever mention the illegality and immorality of this war, nor did he ever mention that the entire premise of this war was based on fabrications.

If he felt this way, why didn't he say this before he retired and wrote a book?

What he says now is quite different from what he said then:

TEXT


He was the one who authorized "enhanced interrogation techniques", many of which were in violation of the Geneva Convention:

TEXT


And then lied about it to the Senate Armed Services Committee:

Lied to the Senate Armed Services Committee. Lied.


Sorry, I don't trust him.

BLACKWATER TO BE PHASED OUT ?????

I don't know about this one, especially since the Pentagon just granted Blackwater a brand new $92 MILLION dollar contract two weeks ago, and the State Department has been blocking the current investigation, not to mention the fact that the Australian firm involved in the killing of the two Iraqi women a couple of days back was actually working off USA funding but here's the story:

KHALED EL-MASRI



Who would have thought that we have reached the point in our short lives that the USA finally has become a fascist state? It has been a process that slowly, inch by inch has become a reality. Used to be when a person would speak of such things, they were considered whacky. This morning I read a piece about some kind of device used to spy on the demonstrators at last months anti-Bush demonstration, and I'll get to that, but first, this was yesterdays news, about Khaled El-Masri.
