AZTLAN: Minuteman vigilante movement fizzles out

Los Angeles, Alta California - September 28, 2005 - (ACN) It is now clear that the Minuteman vigilante movement was more of a media driven circus than a serious effort by "redneck gringos" to stop the migration of Mexicans to Aztlan. Immigration from Mexico is today greater than before the Minuteman vigilante movement according to a recent study by the Pew Hispanic Center. Looking back to the much publicized launching of the movement in Tombstone, Arizona, it was probably prophetic that it was done so on "April Fools Day". More reporters showed up in Tombstone than vigilantes to what Susan Carroll of The Arizona Republic called, "a media-inflated stunt." There were no more than 150 vigilantes from across the USA that participated in the opening event.

The Minutemen turned out to be nothing more than obese lawn-chair vigilantes. The beer guzzling riff-raff from across America may have been scared by a statement purportedly made by a leader of the Mara Salvatruchas that they would be confronted by his organization. The vigilantes were informed that "The Mara Salvatruchas are known to cut the testicles of their enemies to feed them to their vicious dogs and to sever the heads off their opponents to play football soccer with them." This statement itself turned out to be an "April Fools Joke" but it sent shivers up the spine of many of the anti-Mexican vigilantes.

The Minuteman vigilantes, after their comedy in Arizona, then announced that they would be coming to Alta California to patrol the border. What a laugh! Here the vigilantes were totally humiliated. Jim Chase of Oceanside, California who led their border operation here had to flee a day earlier than planned from Campo, California for fear of being overrun by determined defenders of Aztlan. The California Minuteman vigilantes had to send out an urgent message titled, "Minuteman Calling for Reinforcements in Campo". How sad. . . reinforcements never arrived and they had to run like scared rabbits. The Minuteman vigilantes from California have now disappeared from the scene.

The jackasses that are the Minuteman are now planning operations along the Texas/Mexico border at a time when their volunteers are deserting in large numbers and amidst the total disintegration of the their movement. The movement which never exceeded more than 400 hundred lawn-chair volunteers may not able to mobilized more than 200 hundred vigilantes for their Texas operations. They will for sure be easily routed by the "Brown Berets de Tejas" as they were routed by "La Gente Unida" in Alta California.

Susan Carroll of the Arizona Republic Tucson Bureau recently reported that, "infighting, charges of racism and allegations of financial mismanagement have created rifts within the movement." Susan Carroll says that the former Minuteman coordinator for Texas Bill Parmley quit after alleging that Chris Simcox botched the organization's financing. Bill Parmley, owner of an oil and gas drilling company, said that he ended up lending about $10,000 to Simcox but was never repaid. Bill Parmely also warned that some members of the Goliad, Texas Minuteman were "racists" and "wanted to go after Mexicans as a whole," not simply report undocumented immigrants to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Vigilante Chris Simcox is today making desperate appeals for donations and had to sell his newspaper the Tombstone Tumbleweed. He has been forced to constantly scrounge for his next meal and is dipping into funds donated for Minuteman operations. Parmley also says, according to Susan Carroll, that Simcox misled organizers by telling them he had an insurance policy that would cover all members and reneged on early promises to share the $50-per-head registration fee with local chapters. Simcox appears to be running into trouble in Tombstone as he did in Los Angeles. Simcox was left by his wife and had to leave "The City of Angels" after leaving his teaching job at a private elementary school under suspicious circumstances. One reason, other than need for money, why he sold his paper the Tombstone Tumbleweed was that it was being boycotted by Tombstone residents that have learned to dislike the vigilante. Residents were instead promoting the other town's newspaper, "The Reaper".

There was one prophetic statement made by Mayor Ray Borane of Douglas, Arizona during the Minuteman operations in his state. He said, “I just wish they’d go somewhere else. As usual with this stuff, there’s more reporters than anyone else. The media has created this monster by letting Simcox create a hysteria. The fruits of this will be nothing except more aggravation. Nothing whatsoever will change here. In a few days, the media will go home and this will fizzle out.�

It is one thing to be a windbag and quite another to be an uninformed, insufferable one like Mr. Cienfuegos is. His moronic writings appear from time to time and would be more approporiate in Mad magazine.
I don't think La Voz de Aztlan will be taking over anything except possibly the management of pay toilets--something they might be qualified to do.

The reason we are being deluged with Mexicans is that Mexico is basically a mismanaged landfill with limited opportunities for its citizens. The vast majority of the border jumpers have no education or skills. What exactly are they qualified to take over?

Mexico lost the war over 150 years ago and seem to have been losing ever since.
