WHOA, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T RUN ANY ROADS BLOCKED BY THE MEXICAN ARMY; PROBLEMAS IN REYNOSO




We haven't had much news from south of the border lately, and I haven't had time to check to see what's happening at the Union Trib. But check out these stories: (and how about the guy on the cross, the Mexicans sure have a flare for demonstrations, I have to admit, they become an art form here) THIS LINK IS DIFFICULT TO COME UP I'M TAKING YOU TO THE HOME PAGE, THEN JUST SCROLL TO THE STORY,"FED UP REYNOSA RESIDENTS PROTEST MILITARY PRESENCE."

ACTION ITEM: SAVE THE WOLVES FROM THE MANIAC GEORGE BUSH




Hi guys, sorry I played hooky today, it was nearly 80 degrees so I went to the beach. Well, darnit, someone has to do it ! (but it feels like an earthquake) Anyway, remember that phoney baloney Christmas greeting from the Bush family championing themselves as the great protectors of our National Parks and wildlife? Yea, right. Excuse me, barf.

So here's another great action item from Bob Fertik, just add it to your favs, sign and pass it along:

I TOLD YOU IT WOULD BACKFIRE: THE SURGE





Aren't people who say I told you so a pain in the butt? Well, whatever, but months back I remember writing a piece on Anbar and the surge saying that it was a trap and could end up like Custers Last Stand. Here I am, no military strategist, and even I could figure this one out.

So, within the past two weeks, Gates has announced that there will be no troop drawdown as previously promised, and not only our troops but the NATO troops are being set up for the kill. Little by little over the past two months the news has reported a bomb here, a bomb there; but it seems that noone is really paying attention - we are diverted by this goddamned Hillary and her bullshit attacks on Obama, over and over again. Shit Hillary, either drop out so the Democratic Party can unite or buy yourself a fucking record player and just play the song over and over again.

Meanwhile, this is the legacy of George Bush; (not to mention the recession, the deficit, millions losing their homes, devastation of the environment, a free ride for the wealthy and corporates, stripping the constitution, wiretapping, etc, etc, etc) he is going to leave us high and dry, totally fucked up, running around like rats trying to fix everything he screwed up and it will take years.

Now, you tell me, couldn't the Bush strategists have figured this one out, or was this all part of the plan so that people in the United States would be so freaked out by this new trend, or should I say increasing trend of violence in Iraq and Afghanistan that indeed they would vote for the 100 year war guy? Not to mention, that would certainly keep all the Bush allies and cronies, the corporates, the private contractors well oiled (pun) in huge profits as the war machine churns on. So, here's my new prediction: Along with the increased violence in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and failure of the surge, the presidential candidates for 2008 will be McCain and Obama. Obama will be attacked and labeled as an Islamic sympathizer selling the United States down the drain.

WWWWWWWWWhat???? We've already been sold down the river, will the American people be that stupid to fall for this new scare tactic offered by the right wing fanatics? Let's hope not, but keep in mind "they" have cooled it on the orange/red alerts for awhile, maybe they were giving us a breathing spell, letting the fear wear off so they would be able to jolt us again big time. I think it's a old variation on the Pavlov dog theme, and it just might work.

MICHAEL MOORE SAYS INSURANCE INDUSTRY WOULD LOVE CLINTON'S HEALTHCARE PLAN





Hi guys, we are back and there are some big waves coming in from the west here, but cold and breezy. Cayucos was beautiful again, but let's face it, I'm getting older and I really don't know if I have it in me any more to completely redo a house,I've been through that four times - and I mean completely, so we'll just keep looking unless we win the lottery and then that takes care of that. Maybe I can get some pics of the surf for for you, I'm really bad with the camera but I'll try.

Okay. I was checking the headlines all weekend inbetween times and Hillary really needs to just get lost. I am convinced that that woman is ruthless beyond belief and on such a power ego trip it is scary. Now I see that Nader has jumped back in, that asshole.

When in doubt, consult Mike Moore. Although there is no doubt in my mind, but here's the latest and don't miss the next debate on Tuesday (tomorrow) evening 6:00 PT on MSNBC.

NUMBER 11 PRIMARY VICTORY FOR OBAMA AND WILL KOSOVO/KOSOVA MAKE THE DEBATE TONIGHT ?





At first, I was never a Richard Gere fan. Then, slowly he grew on me. If you get a chance do see A Hunting Party (it's out on DVD) based on the true story of Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadicz. Was independence for Kosovo a good thing? I think it was, but it depends on who you are talking to, so I'm going to give you some links, a bit of history, Obamas position, lots of links today.

We were back in Chicago during the Bosnian War, and the Serbs were furious with Clinton. I know this, because Mike is Russian, and we were in the Serb and Russian neighborhoods. They were taking up collections like crazy to send money to the Serbs and I swear to you, they were more like Serbs first, Americans as an afterthought. The degree of Serbian nationalism simply shocked me.

And, if this topic does make the debate tonight,which it sure in the heck better, watch the rhetoric used by Clinton and Obama, there is a huge difference of meaning (historical) between Kosovo and Kosova. And, there is historical dispute if Kosovo really is such a sacred place to the Serbs, or just a myth made up to foster nationalism. Interesting, huh?

So, here we go:

CIUDAD JUAREZ AND BOYCOTT CORONA BEER




Heh guys, just got in and received this message regarding the situation in Ciudad Juarez. The truth is, I haven't been following the events in Ciudad Juarez, but then, there hasn't been alot of publicity regarding the femicides there and other developments except from non main stream media sources.

So, this was a new one on me, I didn't even realize we were supposed to be boycotting Corona Beer. Wait a minute here, wasn't there not too long back, a raid on the Corona Beer outlet in TJ for possible drug envolvement? The one that is along the fenceline going down the hill to the border. I think it envolved a tunnel or something, I'll have to check on that.

Well, maybe some of you can shed some light and more information on this whole mess for us. Meanwhile, boycott Corona Beer and here is the press release which I received:

ACTION ITEM: JOIN BRIGADIER GENERAL DAVID R. IRVINE

Here is an action item from Bob Fertik, received as an email, so I'll retype the General's letter, add the link to sign the petition and give you a little more reference to boot. Okay, here we go:

Letter From Brigadier General David R. Irvine:

Dear Friend,

I taught prisoner of war interrogation for 18 years to U.S. Army soldiers. Neither I nor the Army taught torture: it's morally wrong, it endangers our own troops who may be taken prisoner, it undermines out values, and it does not produce information.

I've listened to some of our current leaders say that we should use torture - what they call "enhanced" interrogation techniques - to combat terrorism. Abandoning our principles is never the answer. An expert interrogator needs to be clever, not inhumane.

Strong presidential leadership is needed to restore our nation's stature in the eyes of the civilized world. This week, one year from the presidential election, I am adding my name to Human Rights First's petition, urging all of the presidential candidates to restore our nation's honor. You can do the same.

This isn't about being tough on terrorists. It's about what's in the strategic interest of the United States. Torture doesn't produce reliable information but it does harden hearts and minds against us, and torture by any agency of our government puts our own troops at greater risk. It's time to stop playing semantic games about what torture is.

If you're like me, you want a President who is truly devoted to this country, its longstanding laws, and its fundamental values. A President who will:

+ Stop shipping prisoners to countries known to torture
+ Close Guantanamo
+ Restore the right of habeus corpus
+ Ensure that torture is never again a part of U.S. policy

Take a stand - sign TODAY. This is not a partisan endeavor.

In one year, we could be celebrating the election of a leader who understands what's at stake. But only if we demand it today !

Thank you for joining me and Human Rights First as we end torture and abuse in America's name.

Yours sincerely.

Brigadier General David R. Irvine, USA (ret)

"THEY'RE PICKING EM UP":ROSARITO BEACH UPDATE

Heh guys, hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day and are enjoying a long weekend. I have some good news about Rosarito Beach, what a shocker. We have a friend who has a business in town, and his business is not tourist related. So, what I am about to tell you is from a Mexican national's perspective, and not tourist related hype just to get you back down here.

According to our friend, who has always been reliable with insights and information in the past, he says he feels much safer in Rosarito Beach now that the Army and Federal Police have been in control. He admits he was worried before. From his business, which is on the main street, he and his employees said that they have watched the Army constantly swoop up the bad guys.

In his words,"...we see the Army trucks driving by, they go away and then they come back and they have a bunch of criminals in the trucks..this happens regularly. They have intelligence people out there putting the pieces together until they can go after someone."

Then we asked him about the possible corruption of the Army by the Cartels, a story which had been frontlined in the Union Tribune. He said: "...Army personnel would not risk getting envolved with the Cartels, because if they were caught, their life is over." I didn't understand what he meant by that, so I asked him and he explained:"...the Army is a sacred trust, and if you breech this trust, it is comparable to treason or espionage, breaking that kind of a law is about as serious as it gets."

We asked him about the General who was envolved with the Cartels several years back, and he said,"...they locked him up and he is going to die in prison, and that is what happens."

The jist of what he was saying was he feels safer with the Army in Rosarito Beach and that he feels they are going to clean things up.

Okay, well that's good news, I'm still skeptical, but we have to keep in mind that the Mexican system works differently than ours.

Meanwhile, there was a bomb explosion in Mexico City, and it is not clear whether this was from a nut or the Cartels or something else.

That's it for now, see you guys later and it is COLD here I'm FREEZIN !!

ROLLIN DOWN THE RAGING POTOMAC -BARACK OBAMA TAKES ALL THREE




One knock out after another - one, two, three and you are down Hillary! Maryland, Virginia and DC, all go to Barack Obama. Barack is wiping the map and it is exciting! Not everyone lives in California, Texas and New York, Hillary. Take a good close look, because this is the soul of America; white, black, chicano, yellow, red white and blue, men, women, young people, everyday people who work their butts off and who have sacrificed their loved ones to your dirty Iraq war and dirty policies and politics. Every state that Barack has taken represents the heart and the spirit of America that just is not going to give up and take more of the same.

How are you going to handle that, Hillary? They don't like you. If it were me, I'd throw in my cards, but you are a nasty little fox, I guess what the people want doesn't really make any difference to you, does it?

CONGRATULATIONS OBAMA !!

IMMIGRANTS COME HERE BECAUSE GLOBALIZATION TOOK THEIR JOBS BACK THERE




Heh guys, I just got up from a nap. I had to run a neighbor down to Ensenada this afternoon, and we did not see any extra patrols along Hwy.1. Speaking of Mexico, I've been hanging out a little bit over at the Union Trib, the reporters there have come up with a couple of very good stories in the past few days. I just wish that someone would do a story on the FARC influence in Mexico, I found one article in El Universal and I'm nosing around, maybe I can come up with something, because it seems to me that the same tactics used by FARC are being used here in Baja. And I don't like FARC much, despite their so-called socialist appeal, they are a bunch of fascists. Seem far fetched?

I've noticed alot of Mex haters over on the forum at Sign On San Diego, and others with good perspectives, or at least realistic perspectives. Maybe I haven't been there long enough, but it seems to me that the pure anti-Mexican, anti-immigrant group have totally missed the whole picture of why we are having such a problem with immigration in the first place; and I wish they could read this article I'm about to
post for you and I wish there could be some rational discourse on this issue and the issue of legalization of drugs - because until these issues are addressed, it is not going to get better here or in the States, not at all. Infact, it's going to get worse. And if anyone tells you it's going to get better, they are full of shit.


So, here from an all time fav:

Last week, as you know, a high ranking police chief was arrested in Rosarito, and in his home they found weapons and extra uniforms.(If you are not familiar with the story, we have had several highjackings and kidnappings and shakedowns and assaults by men dressed in police uniforms) This was such a nonsensical deal really, because as you know, the Rosarito cops have been scrutinized for the past almost three weeks,their weapons taken away from them and Rosarito is now occupied by the Army and PDF. As I commented on the SOS forum, it made no sense that this guy didn't dump the evidence, KNOWING he was under scrutiny. Unless he was incredibly stupid.

Heh everyone, what's happening? Ok, I haven't been around because we have had family in all weekend and inbetween times I've been commenting on Sign On San Diego.
