Subject: [mmp-chat] Junction Jim's Report from Campo 7-28-05

Yesterday Wednesday found me trying to get a nap, unsuccessfully of
course. I was only able to secure two 2 1/2 hour "rest periods",
where I never actually fell asleep. I got one at the high base, and
one at the VFW Post 2080, where the motor home is parked, but so many
people are coming in and out, it's like a zoo to get some rest. You
can actually get more rest up on the hill, with the possibility of
being shot, than you can down in main camp. After seeing that our
high camp had received their supplies for the day, and attending the
6:00PM briefing with Jim Chase, who was leading the main group out to
Campo again, I dressed out in my "Rambo" gear, and went up to camp
about an hour before dark. Big Bob out of Fullerton is a good man.
If you want something done, just ask Bob to do it, and then forget
it! Bob will get it done. Brett had ordered two extra 9mm clips for
his Berretta pistol, and Bob delivered. I had asked Bob if he could
transport up 6 gallons of gas to camp, and when I got there, the gas
had beaten me! That Bob is one O.K. guy! The main crew of MM went
to Jacumba(ha-come-ba)near the area where the shooting had occurred
on last Saturday night. We have been joined by several off duty
Federal Law Enforcement officials, who asked that they and their
department not be identified. If we are fired on by coyotes from
Mexico, they are going to see to it that those coyotes never fire
again, if you get my drift. Also the Border Patrol brought in one of
their armored cars to deal with any shooting from Mexico. Things are
starting to look bad for people who are coyotes, I would say.
However, the only incident of consequence was when a Border Patrol
Agent was injured by a thrown rock, which struck him in the hand,
splitting it open. MM were the first to administer first aid to the
injured agent, whose hand was split wide open by the cowardly Mexican
attack. The rest of the shift at Jacumba passed without any
significant incidents.
As to the Sp Ops area, we were setting up a 30 ft. high
communications tower at the observation post when a San Diego County
Sheriff's Helicopter overflew our position. He circled us a couple
of times, and then landed about fifty yards away! I was up on top of
the platform guiding the connections together as he landed, so I
didn't get a good look at who stepped out of the chopper, but one of
the guys said that they thought it was Bill Kolender, the actual
Sheriff, himself. He was at least a very high ranking police
officer, as this chopper was apparently at his personal command and
disposal. He asked the guys if any of us had been shot at yet, and
we told him no. He was admiring our 30 ft. high ham tower, and the
ham told him we now had better comms than the Border Patrol, since we
are much higher than their 100 ft. high tower way down in the valley,
and only have to operate on 5 watts. We could operate on much more,
but it is unecessary, as it is pointless to reach a unit 20 miles
away, and for them not be able to transmitt back to you in response.
The ham plans on installing a phone patch in the next day or two.
The sheriff took off, after saying he might be back to see us later,
but headed back towards San Diego, from whence he had come. He never
showed up again last night. Our camp is very professional looking,
with a yellow, rattlesnake flag flying atop, with "Don't tread on me"
emblazoned on it, and two more 3X5 American Flags dececding down the
hill we are on, in the direction of Gloria Canyon. We even have flood
lights on both American Flags after dark. It must look to the coyotes
like we are planning on staying for a while. By the way, there were
lots and lots of headlights arriving at the"warehouse" last night
about 11:00PM or so. We braced ourselves for the onslaught that we
were anticipating, but it never occurred. No drug shipments. No
illegals. No shootings. Nothing...all night long...Could it be that
the coyotes have decided to just wait us out, and then go back to
business as usual? We hope so. The coyote's talk with Brett the
other day would tend to jive with the big meeting last night at the
warehouse. Can you imagine what the coyotes in the warehouse must be
thinking, as they look out their windows and see more construction,
and lighted American Flags progressing deep into "THEIR" territory?
Now there's a communications tower erected, and Sheriff's helicopters
landing there? Very, very, bad for "business", people...very bad.
How about the press coverage on the shooting last Saturday night? No
wonder they held a big meeting...
We have kept the cork in the Gloria Canyon Bottle for three
consecutive nights, and plan to keep it there 'till we leave.

More to come,
Junction Jim on the very active Campo Border

This was a great report. I'm so glad everything is going so well. Unfortunately we don't hear about any of this from the regular media. I wish I could be there with them.

Good,clear report Jim.
thanks

GREAT WORK, Junction Jim and the Minute Men!! I actually tingled visualizing the tall tower; the Sheriff flying overhead; your Flag Waving; and the coyotes pacing in their warehouse screeching "Que Pasa, Hombres?!?!?!?!"

I'm awfully sorry about the hand injury on the Border Patrol Agent. I hope it heals up alright. Sounded like it needed stitches.

See? Me, my winged mustang and a slingshot can do more damage than you thought!! LOL..Truthfully, I've killed a coyote (the four footed type) with my slingshot at about 250 ft. Can't get close to 'em with a rifle.
