Thread: Threat to Minutman at Ground Zero This Wednesday?

I found this very disturbing post on another forum. We need to show our support in person or at the very least, contact Mayor Bloomberg demanding that he does all that he can to ensure the safety of our fellow patriots.

Anarchists, Communists and other open-border fanatics are planning a
massive demonstration to disrupt the 911 memorial service. See email from Jim Gilchrist below. Also see the action plan from the "New York May 1st Coalition."

Jim is not backing down. Neither are the 9/11 families, Dr. Corsi, or The
Minuteman Project. But, this will be an extremely dangerous situation for
them.

Please take a few minutes to contact the Mayor and NYPD. Ask them to
insure protection for Jim and everyone at the service.

Thanks, and please forward this across the USA -- especially to our
friends in NY, NJ and CT.

For the Cause, Linda

Subject: ANTI - FIRST AMENDMENT TERRORISTS LAUNCH PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN IN A
PLAN TO STOP ANY MINUTEMEN OR WOMEN FROM ASSEMBLING IN NYC.

The Minuteman Project plans to hold a commemorative service in honor of
the victims of the 911 terrorist attacks.

Dear Americans,

There will be an attempt by at least three known domestic terrorist groups
to prevent The Minuteman Project from conducting a "permitted"
commemorative service in honor of the 911 victims and their next of kin on Wednesday, July 26 at 12 Noon at "ground zero", the former site of the WTC towers.

The "call to hostility" against all minutemen/women is pasted below (after
this message). It is replete with vilifying lies, and was launched over
the internet yesterday in an attempt to draw as many anti-American rabble-rousers into NYC as possible to prevent The Minuteman Project, and 911 survivor's organizations, from engaging in a commemorative ceremony at the site of the destroyed WTC towers.


The Minuteman Project respectfully requests that each of you Americans
either come to join (and protect) us at the WTC site on July 26, or
contact NYC Mayor Bloomberg and DEMAND that all protection under the law be provided to The Minuteman Project participants and guests. The guest list will include several friends and relatives of the victims of that
horrific attack almost five years ago. These survivors of the 911 victims
should not be the target of menacing thugs with sinister intentions.

These domestic terrorist groups are known to dress in terrorist-like garb,
including face masks to conceal their identities, and to forcefully engage
in the literal suppression of the rights of American citizens to
peacefully and freely assemble and speak. They do not fly any U.S. flags,
but generally carry the anarchist, communist and Mexican flags.
Occasionally, the PLO flag is displayed by several persons wearing Al
Qaeda type garb. It is very common for these radical, fringe elements of
society to hurl lethal objects (frozen cans of soda, rocks, bottles, etc.)
at ralliers at patriotic events. Yes, the premeditated intention of the
groups listed in the "By" line below is to strip away the First Amendment
from anyone "they" choose, especially those who would assemble behind, and pledge allegiance to, the flag of the United States of America.


The Minuteman Project has no intention of backing down from these violent
anarchists. To withdraw in the face of these evil-doers would guarantee
that the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of
America would be available ONLY to the meanest thugs carrying the biggest clubs. That is neither acceptable nor an option if we are to preserve this nation as a civilized society governed under the rule of law.

The Minuteman Project asks for your support and your help in defending us, and America, from the hate-groups responsible for orchestrating the
intentional disruption of our assembly in NYC. These ugly groups, listed
after the "By" line below, are truly some of the most pathetic and
despicable "hate groups" of the 21st century.


Thank you. Semper Fidelis.
Jim Gilchrist, Founder, The Minuteman Project
Laguna Hills, Ca.

New Yorkers Say No to the Minutemen!
Protests Scheduled Against July 26th Visit of Anti-Immigrant Hate Group to
WTC

By Theresa Gutierrez, New York May 1st Coalition, 917-328-6470;
Carlos Canales, The Long Island Workplace Project, 516-565-5377;
Berna Ellorin, BAYAN Philippines, 646-479-1605

July 21, 2006, New York-- New York immigrant communities and immigrant
rights supporters are gearing up for massive counter-protests against the
Minutemen's visit to the World Trade Center on Wednesday, July 26th. The
New York May 1st Coalition, a broad formation of immigrant organizations,
labor groups, and anti-war advocates, will hold a protest at the site of
the Minutemen's anti-immigrant rally location beginning at 11am, this
Wednesday. The group is calling on pro-immigrant supporters to meet at the
corner of Church Street and Broadway in downtown Manhattan.

"New York is an immigrant city, and no freedom-loving, justice-seeking New
Yorker will tolerate the culture of hatred and anti-immigrant fascism that
spewed by the politically insignificant and immoral Minutemen," stated
Teresa Gutierrez, a Mexican-American and leader with the NY May 1st
Coalition.

"We are calling on all supporters of immigrants rights to help us send a
clear message to those who are continuing the tradition of Neo-Nazi's: GET
OUT OF OUR CITY!," Gutierrez continued.

While the Minutemen Project describes itself as an American civilian
operation intent on deterring illegal crossings at the US-Mexican border,
concerned immigrants and citizens across the nation strongly identify it
as an anti-immigrant hate group. It is the brainchild Jim Gilchrist, a
retired accountant and Vietnam veteran from Orange County, California.
Gilchrist has been involved with Neo-Nazi affiliated groups such as the
Council of Conservative Citizens. The Minutemen actively recruit in
Colorado, California, Texas, New Mexico, New Jersey.

In 2003, Chris Simcox, an anti-immigration militant and co-founder of the
Minutemen, was arrested in Colorado for "hunting for Mexicans," with high
power hunting rifles.

In a recent California Minutemen activity White supremacists were caught
on film with Confederate insignia and Nazi swastikas, giving Nazi salutes.

Pro-immigrant groups and supporters are planning for a broad show of force when the Minutemen hit NYC next week.


Gutierrez added while it is usually the Minutemen's intention to provoke
and incite physical violence and confrontation in their anti-immigrant
events, it is important to continously expose the Minutemen at their
sitings and educate the general public on who the Minutemen are. The New
York May 1st Coalition, a network calling for the legalization of all
undocumented persons, regardless of their duration of stay in the US, was
the main organizer of the historic May 1, 2006 massive demonstration for
immigrant rights in Union Square, mobilizing nearly 1 million on the
streets, the largest demonstration in New York City history. The coalition
also endorsed a national immigrant rights strategizing conference in
Washington DC from July 28th-30th convened by the National Immigrant
Solidarity Network. (visit www.nohr4437.org)

"As Congress continues with its stall-tactics in the form of not-so-public
hearings on the Senate and House bills, we the majority of working people
in the US who understand this country and its economy cannot survive
without immigrants will not back down on our call for legalization and
genuine comprehensive immigration reform. As millions came out on the
streets on May 1st, the power of our people's movement will only gain more momentum as unjust and unfair legislation continues to be exposed,"
Gutierrez ended.

Been under discussion here since July 21

Good to discuss it here in General Discussion too.

My email to Mayor Bloomberg:
Mayor Bloomberg, I have read the Minutemen are going to be in your city to visit the WTC site to hold a memorial for the victims killed there. I have also heard pro-illegal groups are calling for counter protest against these citizens. I would suggest Mayor Bloomberg, that you do everything in your power to have enough police there to ensure this peaceful memorial service goes off without any of these Minutemen getting hurt! If any of these brave men and women are hurt in your city, I predict such a public outcry as you have never seen, Legal citizens of this country should have the right to voice their protest just as illegal aliens do, much more in fact as they belong here and illegals do not.. If any of these people are hurt it is only going to ensure a public outcry and wake up more Americans as to what is going on in our country! ............Ed McDonald

Libelous statement:

In 2003, Chris Simcox, an anti-immigration militant and co-founder of the
Minutemen, was arrested in Colorado for "hunting for Mexicans," with high
power hunting rifles.

In a recent California Minutemen activity White supremacists were caught

Blatant, outright LIES!

Gutierrez added while it is usually the Minutemen's intention to provoke
and incite physical violence and confrontation in their anti-immigrant
events, it is important to continously expose the Minutemen at their
sitings and educate the general public on who the Minutemen are.

These snakes are accusing the Minutemen of doing the exact things that they themselves are publicly known to do!

What a disgrace to protest the 9-11 survivors that have lost their loved ones. Anyone that shows up to protest the memorial service for those who died in the 9-11 attacks is a traitor to this country, a terrorist and should be deported. These are the most inhumane humans ever imaginable with no compassion for loss of life.

I'm sorry, I didn't know this was posted already. I'm glad that it was given the attention it deserves.

Excellent email nittygritty. Thanks for the support.

I am terribly concerned about what might take place on Wednesday. The NYC police Dept. usually does an excellent job at keeping trouble makers at bay - IF THEY ARE DEPLOYED! It will be an outrage if Bloomberg allows things to get out of hand. He's a traitor and always sides with the illegals.

Time and time again, I've read these vicious lies coming from the other side. It makes my blood boil!

If I can get off I want to go to the city, but my family doesn't want me to because they fear for my safety. Personally, I'm chicken little when it comes to confrontations! I've always been the peacemaker. I get upset when people argue for goodness sakes! I just want eveyone to get along!

But after the emails, phone calls, etc., you wonder if you're doing enough. This has been on my mind for quite some time. If you are really passionate about this cause (as I am), then maybe you have to step it up a bit and get out of the comfort zone. I've been to a few smaller and harmless protests but this is a biggie.

I know how much was sacrificed by the people who fought for our independence and I'm beginning to come to the realization that if I am truly in this fight for the long haul, then I will have to overcome my fears when it comes to possible violent confrontations. I just wish there was a class I could take to prepare me! lol!

I RECEIVED that in my email too....just shot off a letter to Mayor of NYC and to Police Chief Kelley.

Trying to get an article together about the past violence of our opposition to help in time before the event.

W

Please put any letters which others could use to, in other words it could be like a form letter and if you don't mind anyone else using it under our new "form letters" thread. We started it to help those who don't have enough time to compose letters so that we can pick up our emails and contacts to these so called representatives of the people.

They can copy, paste and send as an e-mail. We're going to provide many email addresses under that thread too.

Nitty Gritty , if your okay with that, and have time please move your letter over or PM me with your okay on that and I'll move it for you tonight or tomorrow when I hear from you.

my favorite part is how the writer has to quote herself.. like she couldn't get anyone else in any sort of position to make a quote so full of crap.
