CCREDC'S PAM LAGO'S husband: "THEY (Latinos) ARE THUGS, MURDERERS & PIMPS... FROM A 3RD WORLD ARMPIT HOLE."

Today LATINOS/MEXICANS called "THUGS, MURDERERS, and PIMPS" who live in an "ARM-PIT HOLE" -- by Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development's PAM LAGO'S husband -- that is, Jim Lago. Jim Lago transmits his radio talk show via KKTX 1360 AM. His wife, PAM (manager/SPECIAL EVENTS for the CCEDC) is now tagged as being associated with an "anti-LATINO" business environment. Many feel that it would be almost impossible for her to continue in the “tax-payer funded” post. Why?

One of the major goals of the CCREDC is to both maintain and attract businesses and industry to South Texas. One of the CCREDC's international goals is to promote a positive and close-knit relationship with Mexico and Latin-America. CCREDC’s Pam Lago’s salary comes a result of various entities of government in Nueces County (and from contributions from surrounding cities such as Robstown, Kingsville, Alice etc.) as well as from corporations. Ms. Lago’s role is to be the face, voice, and envoy for the region while acting as the manager for CCREDC’s “Special Events.” Her job description requires her to deal both with national and international businesses in the region.

Her husband (who has been described by civil rights groups as having a reputation hardly ever speaking positively of anything associated with Latinos or their culture) spewed out chauvinism and spiteful prejudice and unforgiving generalizations aimed at Latinos and Mexico while attempting to discuss in the air the visit of the noted Mexican President Felipe Calderon to the USA.

Jim Lago added on KKTV Radio this morning: "They (Latinos/Mexicans) are a bunch of THUGS, PIMPS, AND MURDERERS." Yet, his wife's salary -- to iterate -- comes from tax dollars (whom a very large portion are comprised of Latinos) and some from corporate memberships (who have a “strict” policy against ethnic labeling by any of their agents) are tighly linked to this industry. Jim Lago's abhorrent statements have shocked many involved with the tourism and business industry in Corpus Christi and region. A few city councilpersons, port commissioners, and County Commisisoners interviewed feel that Ms. Lago should consider stepping down – or that Governmental entities begin to seriously take steps to halt funding to the CCREDC.

As a Nueces County administrator put it: "Ms. Pam Lago's image, even though she might not share her husband's abbertant view of the world, has poisoned and de-optimized our veracity along with our chances to operate effectively in drawing in and maintaining business, toursism and general commerce.

One of the main guests in Lago’s program this morning was Nueces Commissioner Mike Pusley. During the show, Commissioner Pusley added a caustic reinforcement to Lago's reckless battering at the outset. Pusley opined: "The President of Mexico stood there and bad-mouthed the USA. They (?) come here telling us what to do."

Pusley seemed to have validated the normative code. Lago, immediately after, went on a horrid tangent saying that even ex-President George "Jorge" Bush didn't do anything to stop illegal immigration. “Jorge” – this was used to imply Bush was a “Latino/Mexican” lover. Soon after, Commissioner Pusley seemed to have become a tad paranoid.

It is conjectured that Commisioner Pusley felt Lago's discussion had gone beyond the bounds of civility. Pusley, realizing he was before a live audience, began to trouble-shoot and trying to thin out his previous statements about Latinos/Mexico: "Yeah, my wife and I go to Mexico all the time. They are a great people."

But Lago was already in full throttle, darting ferociously forward: "They have human slaves. They take turns burning over cars. President Obama allows this? They are a THIRD WORLD ARMPIT HOLE. They just come in and talk bad of the United States. These people don't know who they are fooling with. They are fooling with the wrong folks. We have a tendency to shoot back.”

To recap: violence against Mexico and Latinos had been implied – whether it was meant in a vindictive way or not, Pusley’s voice sank as if revealing what was occurring in the citadels of his mind. A huge gaffe and slip-up of great dimensions had been committed. Had Pusley at that moment become an assesory before and after the fact?

Lago added: "We are very generous to them with support (implying, entitlement programs etc.).”

During the show a Latino called in and stated evenly: "You say this about us (Mexicans and Latinos). What would you say if we started giving you the same treatment by calling you names?"

Lago iterated his sentiments: "They are a bunch of thugs, pimps and murderers. As far as Mexico, it is the KIDNAPPING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD."

After the show, this publication communicated with a few officials and heads of businesses involved with the City of Corpus Economic Develepment and its affiliated projects. The response: "Mexican President Calderon has a master's degree in economics and a Master of Public Administration which he earned just ten years ago from the prestigious John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He opposes euthenasia and abortion and gay-marriage. He believes in privitization and an avid proponent of free enterprise - i.e., market control of the economy. It is quite disturbing to have the husband of the person that is directly in charge of 'Special Events’ and 'functions’ directly affecting the changes that we have to reel in new businesss."

Another official interviewed by this publication extended: "Here locally our tourism andd business take in thousands and thousands of dollars annually. If the public continues to get wind of this, we are doomed. We need the head of the county - COUNTY JUDGE LOYD NEAL to ask the CCREDC for Ms. Lago to step down or immedially pull out of having any association with the CCREDC… As for County Commissioner Mike Pusley (being present), he should appologize for the rash statements he also made on the talk program hosted by Jim Lago.”

Buy many officials claim that County Loyd Neal is part of the notorious NETWORK FOR PROFIT connection in Nueces County. “He is about self-service, not public service by being affiliated with the CCREDC. It is a clique of government-business connection. It is about how they can use your tax-dollars to make a profit. The CCREDC has failed even to produce more than one-percent of job growth in the region. It has been a miserable failure; yet they get over a million dollars in funding from the City of Corpus Christi and the Port and the Type A board,” a member of the Type A board shared the insight. He continued: “Calling Latinos here in the U.S.A. or Mexico thugs, pimps, murders, anchor babies has to stop immediately. I personally feel that what Jim Lago did this morning on radio cannot be 'undone'... since his wife is in a 'top' post and funded by our citizens' dollars.’"

Records show that County Judge Loyd Neal in the last few years reactivated an alliance and partnership with the CCREDC, after previous judges such as Richard Borchard and Terry Shamsie had pulled out from it -- realizing the poor grade the CCREDC had in both bringing in or maintaining jobs, businesses and industry. The CCREDC has been dominated by an “elite” group of businessmen and politicians that want seem to want to maintain a monopoly on the contracts of both local government and non-profit entities. Critics charge that the core group of the CCREDC is historically catenated with County Judge Neal since he was mayor of Corpus Christi.

PRESIDENT CALDERON’S ADDRESS TO A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS -- Congressman's Ortiz Response

To watch President Calderon’s address to a joint session of Congress, click here.

WASHINGTON--U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz (D-Texas) today released the following statement after the President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, addressed a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill:

“This morning, President Calderon addressed Members of Congress – of both the House and the Senate – and shared concerns of Mexico’s current state of affairs. During President Calderon’s address to Congress, he spoke about the violence along the U.S.-Mexico border, the war on organized criminal activity, the country’s economic state, the dynamics of trade between both countries, current immigration policies in the United States and the strong ties Mexico and the United States have.

“I stand by President Calderon as we work to better the social and economic interests of Mexico and the United States. During his address today, President Calderon said he wants North America to be one of the strongest and most prosperous regions of the world. I too share that vision and goal.

“In December 2009, Congressman Luis Gutierrez and I introduced a comprehensive immigration reform plan that is a step in the right direction for this country.

“Through this bill we would ensure our borders are safe and secure while making certain millions of people who live in this country have access to a path to residency and citizenship.

“Undocumented immigrants currently living in this country would have to register with the government, pay all taxes, pay a $500 fine, submit to thorough criminal and security background checks, learn English and U.S. civics to be considered for a six year conditional visa. After the six year period, those people living here with a visa are eligible to apply for residency. This bill would allow millions of people living in this country the right to integrate into this society.

“We need a system that is tough on enforcement, fair to taxpayers, and our workforce. A new system that ends exploitation and abuses that are everywhere in our current system and I know this plan does that.

"This year marks the final year of the three-year Merida Initiative, and the U.S. Congress and President Obama’s administration are working closely, together with counterparts in Mexico, to develop the next phase of assistance.

“As I have emphasized, the new assistance package to Mexico must encompass investments in four critical areas: 1) assistance to help Mexico continue to disrupt the organizational capacity of the drug cartels; 2) efforts to strengthen Mexico's institutional capacity to enforce the rule of law, particularly with respect to the judicial process; 3) investments in 21st century technologies and initiatives at our ports of entry that strengthen security while supporting vibrant cross-border trade and commerce and; 4) investments in social and economic development initiatives for local communities ravaged by violence and efforts to curb drug demand.

“I am committed to these causes and reiterate my support to President Calderon, his administration and the people of Mexico.”

Anna Maria Jimenez Chosen By Republican Precinct Chairs to be their Candidate for District Attorney

Nueces County, TX -- Last night Anna Maria Jimenez was chose by the majority of the precinct chairs of the Republican Party to be the candidate for Nueces County District Attorney in the special election in November. Jimenez was chosen over James Sales (who has also worked for the District Attorney’s office). The chairs made their decision after listening to the two latter persons overall views and rationale for seeking office. “They were passionate speeches; strongly charged,” an insider reported.

Jimenez, despite the fact that some within the Republican Party and withing the DA's office tried to target her and put her in a negative light, received the support of twenty-six precinct chairs; Sales, sixteen. Jimenez, who was appointed by Governor Rick Perry as an interim a few months ago. However, her “reorganization” of the department did cause a stir. An ex-exployee, Sandra Eastwood, did use alot of her media connections to make Jimenez seem like a RINO (Republican In Name Only). But Ms. Eastwood over did it and thus cloyed the effectiveness of her ruse.

Jimenez was appointed after Carlos Valdez left to work for the City of Corpus Christi.

Jimenez, who has considerable connections to prominent Democratic groups, will run as a Rebpublican Candiate against the Democratic Candidate. She maintains that she is a conservative and a fiscal conservative as well as continue to be tough on crime. Many pragmatic Republicans see her as the elemental "chip" to open a floodgate that will attract upperly mobile and ambitious Latinos with conservative values and ideas into the party.

TAFT’S POWER STRUCTURE'S TRIAL OF EL DEFENZOR – WAS IT A SETUP? - Part 1 of 2

Taft, TX (Tuesday, May 18, 2010) -- Homer Villarreal (founder of El Defenzor newspaper) and Andrew Hall (a Taft resident who distributes the same paper) were found guilty of violating ordinance # 836 – an ordinance passed by the Taft City Council targeting EL DEFENZOR newspaper (a free publication) from being distributed in yards of residents (nor being delivered door-to-door in certain homes that appear in a newly created “no visitors’ list” that is posted in city hall).

What is ordinance #836? A city ordinance that prohibits the free newspapers (e.g., such as El Defenzor) to be thrown in yards. The ordinance only allows subscription newspapers (e.g., the Corpus Christi Caller-times and the local Taft Tribute newspapers that right - the ones you pay for) to be distributed. The ordinance also created a "no visitors' list".

The staff of El Defenzor, under the ordinance, is allowed to visit homes to ask resident if they want an edition of their newspaper only 30 minutes after the sun comes out; until 30 minutes before it gets dark. They cannot leave a newspaper on the yard nor the home. To iterate, it cannot visit residences that appear in the "No Visitor's list."

How did this ordinance come about? It was passed after El Defenzor wrote a critical article of the political tenure of Mayor Bobby Vega's eight months in office. El Defenzor pointed out how removed the platform under which the mayor ran was from the actions he had taken. The article also questioned the past ethical behavior of "Sid" Arismendez, the new city attorney... Soon after the article appeared, the mayor instructed Arismendez to craft an ordinance (which for the most part targeted El Defenzor). Soon after the ordinance was voted on and adopted by the authority of the Mayor and two city councilmen (a majority). Mr. Homer Villarreal, the founder of El Defenzor a few days after challenged the ordinance by throwing a newspaper in the mayor's yard. He was ticketed for violating the mentioned ordinance. He was also given a warning citation for trespassing on the yard of the mayor's residence.

They were both (Villarreal and Hall) represented by Attorney Mark Di Carlo – who did a luminous job: pointing out immediately that a copy of the “newspaper” had not been entered into evidence by the prosecutor (and thus had no legal basis to proceed with the trial). The two cited individuals (Villarreal and Hall) were tried in separate bench trials. [Note: A “bench trial” is when the verdit of “guilt” or “innocence” is left up to the judge to make and not a jury].

Villarreal was fined $500; Hall, $250. Villarreal was fined for throwing a paper in the yard of Mayor Bobby Vega’s home. Hall was fined for attempting to deliver a paper to two residential homes that appeared in a “no visitors’ list” (mentioned in the ordinance). Hall had at the outset been given two tickets (or citations) for being in violation of Ordinance #836 as mentioned – but in court one of the tickets had to be dropped because one of his accusers failed to show up to the hearing. However, the other remaining citation, was tried in court. A Ms. O’Grady (an intimate friend of the Mayor’s) accused Hall (about a month after the ordinance was passed) of attempting to deliver a paper to her home (she claimed her signature appeared in a written request to place her in the “no visitor’s list).

Ms. O’Grady said she first saw Hall talking to her neighbor’s when the incident occurred. “I noticed him when I stared out the window of the living room. Hall’s attorney asked: “How did you know a paper was going to be delivered to your home?” She responded: “I know the newspaper; I’ve seen it before.”

Hall’s attorney: “Are you familiar with the newspaper?”

O’Grady: “Yes.”

Hall’s attorney: “Do you think you can provide an accurate, unbias opinion of the paper here in court today?”

O’Grady: “Yes.”

Hall’s Attorney: “So when you saw Mr. Hall from the window of you living room, you had problems with the paper being delivered to your house?”

O’Grady: “Yes. I signed to be included in the ‘No Visitors’ List.’”

Hall’s Attorney: “So you do have a bias and a bad impression of the newspaper?”

O’Grady: “Yes, I’ve seen the paper. I think it is not a newspaper, but (staring at Mayor Vega) more of a tabloid.”

Hall’s Attorney: “What makes you say that?”

O’Grady: “About four years ago my ex-boyfriend was mentioned in one of the articles (in a negative light).”

Hall’s Attorney: “Oh, so seeing you ex-boyfriend in an article made you get a bad impression of the paper?”

O’Grady: “Yes.”

Hall’s Attorney: “So where were you when Mr. Hall approached you?”

O’Grady: “By then, I was in the backyard with the phone in my hall. I called 911 immediately.”

Hall’s Attorney: “No more your honor.”

After Hall was found guilty by Judge Carmen Herrera, Attorney Di Carlo, who had done a superb, sort of compromisingly asked the judge to lower Mr. Hall’s fine from $500 to about $100. “Your honor, he is a man of modest means your honor and he does not get paid for delivering the paper.” The judge, sensing the weak case that the acting prosecutor had presented against Mr. Hall, agreed to lower the fine to $250.

[Initial note: EL After Hall’s hearing. Homer Villarreal’s took place. It proceeded.

Villarreal’s attorney claimed ordinance #836 was did not apply to El Defenzor because it was not “a flyer, handout nor was the paper considered a canvassor.”

Prosecutor Armendariz argued that he had superbly crafted the ordinance to make sure it included a newspaper. Di Carlo were into detail defining the role of a newspaper as opposed to a commericial endeavor – pointing out the publication was free and that no donations were solicited and that it did not even have any advertisement from San Patriocio businesses or persons.

Mr. Vilarreal said his objective of serving the area was to serve the community by giving them another perspective. He pointed out that he felt he was “innocent” yet he had throw a paper in the mayor’s yard as a symbolic challenge to the ordinance.

The mayor's wife was called to the stand. She exaggerated her claim. She said Villarreal stepped on her yard and threw a newspaper and knocked on her door and so forth". For the record, local media that was present on that momentous day, have pointed out that he never stepped on the yard and threw the paper from the street. A television reporter stated during one of his reports that it was he and he alone that knocked on the Vega home. "I told Sid Almendarez that: yet I have never been issued a citation for tress passing or being in violation of the ordinance."

As the judge found him guilty. Mayor Vega in the back jerked his arm as if saying: “Yes! We got him,” one observer shared. has ten days to appeal the decision of the Taft Municipal Court. An Appeal Bond of $1500 will have to be covered - twice the amount of the total citations.]

Nueces County, TX: REPUBLICAN PARTY INFILTRATED - A GLIMPSE AT WARRING FACTIONS !

REPUBLICAN PARTY INFILTRATED

By Extremist Hate Group?

A GLIMPSE AT THE WARRING FACTIONS WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Nueces County, Texas – The Republican Party in the county has a new Republcian Chair – Ron McLain. McLain is associated with the South Texans For Liberty (STFL) group where his wife, Amy McLain, serves as “sub-organizer” of the group. The new Republican chair is an attorney and works for the Thomas J. Henry Law Firm.

Who is both the main organizer and founder of SOUTH TEXANS FOR LIBERTY?

A man by the name of Chuck Burnett (from Corpus Christi, Texas) that sits on the STEERING COMMITTEE of the CORPUS CHRISTI TEA PARY group. SOUTH TEXANS FOR LIBERTY, thus, not only decides on the setting and the “behind-the-scenes” pact of the local core leadership of the TEA PARTY RALLIES, but is also a front group for an extremist organization known as the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY (JBS). The JBS is an organization that was founded in the late 1950s by Robert Welsh that opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was in opposition to the desegregation of public facilities such as restaurants and schools. The John Birch Society has been tagged a HATE GROUP by several enties of Government since its foundation. The late Edgar Hoover, former FBI director investigated it alertly and concluded it was a politically charged “lunatic fringe” and considered it a threat to the nation after it claimed the U.S. Pentagon was a co-conspirator with the Communist Party to install a “New World Order.” Even President Dwight Eisenhower was classified as a “Communist Conspirator” by the JBS. And now that it has been resurrected in Nueces County, Texas. The Southern Poverty Law Center and even Homeland Security has tagged the JBS as a “lunatic fringe” of extremist idiology operating in the confines of U.S. Society with “anti-government” proclivities. The JBS has a history of bankrolling neo-Nazi organizations in many ventures, according to Government documents.

Corpus Christi’s Burnett -- who has a quote on his FACEBOOK PAGE that reads: “The South Will Rise Again To Its Full Glory” -- is trying to resurrect this JBS HATE GROUP. Futhermore, Burnett is the local recruiter and chapter president of the JBS in the region. Why then did he form SOUTH TEXANS FOR LIBERTY? To echo the words of a JBS national member: “The fish are biting!” The Liberty Movement craze has become a perfect vehicle to cloak and to “trojan horse” the JBS – as well as many other extremist organizations and rogue militias. In fact, most SOUTH TEXANS FOR LIBERTY meetings are held at Jason’s Deli in Corpus Christi. Before, during and after the meeting, attendees are encouraged to enroll formally into the JBS. Their pitch/hook? “End the FED” (i.e., the Federal Reserve – it was the JBS founder’s anathema ). The JBS engage in society called "Cell Segregation" (in which new recruits are isolated and subjected to audio/video propaganda so as to isolate them from critical opinions of their format). Once the members agree to John Welch's basic agenda of "End The FED" and precluding a "New World Order", then and only then, they are welcomed into a new rung of acceptance.

But the story gets even more wacky and out of the ordinary: Burnett is also the local chapter president of the CONSTITUTION PARTY OF TEXAS (CPOT), a political third party – the alarming contridiction is that Amy McLain (the FIRST LADY of the Nueces County Republican Party) is his “right hand” (or sub-organizer) - along with Donna McClure. Burnett is the contact person for the JBS and CPOT in Nueces County, San Patricio, Jim Wells and a few others. In fact, Burnett is listed as a candidate for Lietenant Governor of Texas under the (CPOT).

The platform of the CONSTITUTION PARTY OF TEXAS (CPOT) does not differ that much from the John Birch Society’s. The national leader of Constitution Party -- Chuck Baldwin (which appears on Amy McLain's Facebook Page) -- claims the SOUTH was right in the civil war and that the infamous 911 incident was perpetuated by ZIONISTS. Baldwin says his admires Timothy McVey perpetuator of the Oklahoma Bombing and Andrew Joseph Stack, III, who few his small plane into an IRS Federal Building in Texas (because he had a madding grudge with the tax people)... Balwin's son -- Timothy (no pun intended) -- who is an attorney in Florida is preparing a primer/manual on how "patriots" in Texas and other states can legally attempt to separate from the Union.

In short, they (CPOT/JBS) want to do away with the Department of Education (because they perceive it as a socialist institution that has created socio-economic mobility for minorities and other groups they have had qualms and blame them for many of the problems in society). They want to do away with Civil Rights Act of 1964 (when it was first passed the JBS posted billboards and flyers all over the country that read: “IMPEACH EARL WARREN” – who was the Supreme Court Justice that ruled in favor of the act). The JBS in one of ther fliers claimed Justice Warren, by ruling in favor of the Act, was contributing to the “mongrelization of the white race.” Is is about state rights or "thinly veiled" bigotry and against disenfranchasing against certain groups in U.S. Society? - this question has been asked repeatedly.

The Department of Energy, the Federal Reserve, the IRS, membership in the United Nations, “Hate Group” labeling by the government – these are other things they want to phase out. Why? “Because they are part of a NEW WORLD ORDER/GLOBALIST AGENDA.” As one non-STFL Republican put it: "When trying to hold a conversation with them, one does have to spend sometime in 'tin-foil' territory."

To make a long story short. The county has a new Republican Chair – Ron McLain (who he himself and his wife have been mentored by Burnett in socio-political matters). In fact McLain has appointed some of the members of Burnett’s "politically incorrect" network to the committees within the party.

A member of STFL told this publication: "The 'Establishment' Republicans In this county can be summed up in on word: cronyism (pure and simple). Two-Thirds of them are steeple. The only way this party will change completely is when they all die."

Burnett now is on the warpath claiming the NUECES COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY is corrupt. He claims to have abundant proof. He is in the process of passing out forms/documents, via his facebook page (and via email and hardcopies), by way of his "minions" to make his point. A few in Republican Party are surrendering to Burnett’s pressure and peculiarities. He is pointing out that many a member in the Republican party that have been appointed to attend conferences and other committees and even as candidates are not “conservative enough” to be in the party. The disparaging term RINO (Republican In Name Only) is used. A whole crazy-quilt of persons have been highlighted in one of his FACEBOOK pages (e.g., SOUTH TEXANS FOR LIBERTY).

He claims he is not a ‘wild-eye” conspirator nor a racist. Yet his savage criticism and inane conspiratorial plots have disenchanted many a Latino/Latina (and other more balanced and urbane members of the Republican Party). Two Latinas – Anna Maria Jimenez (who was appointed as interim District Attorney by the Governor in mid-March of this year) and Angelica Hernandez (who is a canidate running for District Judge against incumbent democrat Judge Manuel Banales) – have been targeted via the STFL’s “Negative Document Release” strategy.

In the last few weeks negative documents were released to the media in reference to Interim District Attorney Jimenez by disenchanted Caucasian females who worked in the District Attorney’s Office. Ms. Jimenez, who started working for the DA’s Office three years ago, was appointed to the top post after Carlos Valdez left to work for the City of Corpus Christi. Before that juncture, Valdez seemed to have provided a blanket of security, pitching the catchphrase: “Your day will come” to the staff.

But once Jimenez was placed as “interim” the “cold reality” set in and spread to the various tiers of the organization. Sandra Eastwood, a disgruntled employee (who had been working alongside Jimenez prosecuting child molestation cases), suddenly clashed with the “interim” DA and henceforth was demoted/fired: it gets exceedingly bewildering. Ms. Eastwood appeared in various conservative radio talk shows and even used her other media contacts to basically label the new Latina Interim District Attorney as being inexperienced and having a low threshold of tolerance and ethical fiber, inferring Jimenez is a token head. Ms. Eastwood made it seem (especially in conservative Talk Radio) as if she was the victim of the RINOization and multi-culturalization and the Browning of the Republican Party. Such accusations disconcerted many established Republicans.

Hitherto, even the Corpus Christi Caller-Times ran a story based on gossip and innuendo; it’s headline read: ““DA launches investigation, fires prosecutor”. Yet no one media entity pointed out the bona fide reasons and even hinted at the extensive documentation that existed on Ms. Eastwood. Even during Valdez’ tenure (while trying the Benjamin Curcuru Case dealing with sexual assault of a child), she ran into difficulties – why? Ms. Eastwood was dating, at the time, a convicted child molestor. She had also been accused by an expert witness in court and also by the attorney for Mr. Curcuru of attempting to try the case before the media first. And the prevaling mood did not change when Ms. Jimenez was installed as DA.

Other events have been set in motion. Former Chief Prosecutor Gail Gleimer Loeb and forfeiture case Prosecutor Jason M. Jett have both resigned in view of the fact that Jimenez announced a reorganization at the DA’s Office. Loeb, also a disgruntled employee, who worked there for almost 18 years, resigned instead of taking a re-assignment. Ms. Loeb’s pay was cut by one-fourth. A chain reaction had been set in motion charged with all the bitterness of an intradepartmental miff. Various accusations were hurled back and forth from contending parties. Even Mark Skurka, who is running for the post as a Democrat in November, was demoted from his post as Chief Prosecutor.

Some of the core squad of South Texans for Liberty (STFL) are too radicalized and have been urged to contact Texas Governor Rick Perry (or to contact their precinct chair to get in touch with the the governor) to replace Ms. Jimenez with a quote “non-Rino” – e.g., James Sales. “Who is more in sink with our beliefs and values” – as one STFL member wrote on his social media/internet page. "Didn't his ex-wife accuse Sales of sexual deviancy and moral impropriety some years back? Or was that matter fully resolved?" -- a non-STFL member countered.

Despite the tug-of-war, some of the traditional non-STFL mainstream Republicans have affirmed to El Defenzor that Jimenez will bring is the elemental “chip” that the Republican Party needs in the county to boost it’s numbers with incoming ambitious Latinos. County Commissioner Mike Pusley has been supportive of Jimenez’ reorganization. Even Latinos within the Repubican Party have pointed out that such disagreements arise with any “reorganization” of any office. One stated: “If a Caucasian female would have been appointed interim District Attorney, many a Latina might have been up in arms. It is the nature of the staff of such an office to feel betrayed especially if they have been demoted or superceded by someone else. One feels like an old razor blade being replaced. 'Suck it up!' - this I state daily to show we all have to experience growing pains and hardship.”

But other members of the STFL have launched a new-fangled campaign to prove there are other RINOS. The target: Angelica Hernandez (a Latina candidate for District Judge). Documents are being put out by this radicalized wing of the Republican Party sneering at the values of Ms. Hernandez. A check for insufficient funds that Ms. Hernandez wrote back when she was in law school is being passed around. Memebers of STFL are also pointing out that Ms. Hernandez ran as a Democrat for a similar office a few years past.

Ms. Hernandez has described herself as a conservative without fail: even when she was a Democrat. She is pro-family and a fiscal conservative. She has earned the respect of many regional top and time-honored Republicans of the region such as Mike Scott and others. Ms. Hernandez told this publication: "I should not be judged by one transgression in my life - Some can subject me to many indignities, but the Lord above knows I am on the path of righteousness."

It seems to be an identifiable phase, a phase of an interlude of shift and undulation and conflict-resolution for the Republican Party in the region. The more the pragmatists want the party to endure (and be able to talk about its historic tenures), the more it has to be representative of the demographics. Jimenez and Hernandez – these two Latinas are perceived as envoys of a new chapter by the realists within the Republican Party; however, the ebb and flow of a consistent schema by the party has been disrupted by what some well-known and long-standing Republicans call “STFL radical infiltrators”. “STFL Radical infiltrators” that call Governor Perry and National Figure, Sarah Palan, “Globalists” who are promoting a “New World Order.” As one long-standing Republican called: “STFL John Bircher-type radicals who cannot stand seeing an ethnic minority as President or in any other office.”

FIRST THE ARIZONA LATINO PROFILING LAW, NOW EL CINCO DE MAYO -- i.e., TEXAS

[QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “If they (Latinos) don’t like the AMERICAN FLAG they can get on their donkeys and ride South”… MIKE SCHULTZ , Facebook … HOW DOES THE CINCO DE MAYO = NOT LIKING AMERICAN FLAG?”]

Nueces County, Texas – First the ARIZONA LATINO PROFILING LAW, now EL CINCO DE MAYO (Latino cultural celebration) attacked – why? Is the “first bullet” to start an ethnic civil war in Texas and fuel “anti-immigrant” sentiments as a red herring to push for a TEXAS LATINO PROFILING LAW or is it subconsciously an echo from the past: “REMEMBER THE ALAMO” ??? Is it a strategy to open “old wounds of pain” so it serves a political scheme? Of course.

One Nueces County Republican writes in Facebook: “Exposing Anna Maria Jimenez, the interim Nueces County District Attorney appointed by Governor Perry, as a RINO and incompetent, was our way of defeating the anti-American celebration of the Cinco De Mayo celebration. She represents what we want to get rid off and replaced. We need Governor Perry to appoint one of us, James Sales.”

There is a new phase of the ANTI-LATINO MOVEMENT that is occurring nationally and being executed by the CONSERVATIVE “lunatic fringe” of the Republican Party (especially in the Southwestern part of U.S. Society). Now, this Conservative “lunatic fringe” via their vituperative “marketing” spin-doctors and their preemptive attacks via “hired gun” radio stations are trying to polarize Caucasians against LATINOS in TEXAS. They are resurrecting old “hate” organizations such as the “John Birch Society” (via the well-funded Tea Party structures by elite conservative groups and “think tanks”) that champion “state rights”. The movement of the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY was used effectively in years part to oppose the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and resist racial desegregation of public facilities during those years, i.e., especially in the late 1950s and 1960s. What is the modus operandi of this new attack-plan?

In TEXAS the cultural observance of EL CINCO DE MAYO is of special significance. “It can be used to ‘reap the heart open’ of the Mexican-Latino,” one fanatic has vociferated. EL CINCO DE MAYO (May 5, 1862) is not a celebration of Mexico’s Independence; it is no more than anything else celebrating the bravery of Mexican-Latinos in this historic battle, a battle that kept the spirit high of Mexican-Latinos over the years. The May 5 battle was a physical-military and psychological victory over the attempted conquest by one of the most powerful armies in the world (at the time): the French Army. Mexico won this battle in the city of Puebla, Mexico; however later the Mexican nation was overtaken by French – the ruler of France at the time was Napoleon III. The French used an attempt to collect a debt from Mexico as an ulterior motive to invade it and take it over.

What function could this cultural observance of EL CINCO DE MAYO have in the United States in 2010? These Conservative STRATEGISTS (within the Republican Party) it appears have chosen El Cinco De Mayo to purposely fuel ethnic animosity to be able to attempt to pass another Arizona-type Latino Profiling Law in Texas under the pretext of attempting to curb “illegal” immigration. This racially charged method fuels the ANTI-LATINO SENTIMENTS (Xenophobia or better phrased “LATINOPHOBIA”) in the U.S. Society. For a detail explanation read below.

What is the historical significance of El Cinco De Mayo? It was an initial battle (not the war) won by a Mexican/Tejano militia in 1862 against the French Army (an army considered the most powerful in the world at the time). This militia was outnumbered by the French Army yet it was triumphant at this particular battle on May 5, 1862 (barely, but nonetheless triumphant) and was led by a TEJANO, General Ignacio Zaragoza from Goliad, Texas. The French eventually took control of Mexico and removed Benito Juarez (a Native American) as President of Mexico. Later, Maximilian and his wife Carlotta (both from Austria) were installed as the emperor and empress of Mexico – from 1864 to 1867. This battle was a tremendous psychological victory for Mexicans, and especially U.S. Tejanos (Texans) as well. Even to this day, not all states in Mexico celebrate this victory as profusely as Texas.

U.S. President Abraham Lincoln supported the battle against the French at Puebla, but was unable to commit American resources and troops because it was engaged in the civil war. Yet, Lincoln urged on General Zaragoza to do his enchanted magic in this confrontation. Why? Lincoln knew that if Mexico was conquered then the U.S. might soon follow (in that the country had depleted its resources in a civil war and was too ideologically divided).

The modern-day extremist Conservative ‘Lunatic Fringe” of the Republican Party wants to destroy the collective identity of Mexican-Latinos in the U.S. (it is like a new form of colonialization, not military but socio-psychological taking place. Historically similar methods have been used against Blacks and Native Americans and other groups). They want Latinos to feel embarrassed about the culture. It is being falsely associated (via twisted logic) with “anti-American” allegiances).

A radio station offered listeners their “own personal Mexican” as the winning prize for a Cinco de Mayo contest. The radio disc jockey announced that, “Members of the station and their families are not eligible to own Mexicans—bathing and delousing of Mexicans is a winner’s responsibility. The station assumes no responsibility for infectious diseases carried by Mexicans.”

The ultimate aim of this socio-psychological colonialization-type tactic is to break their spirit – i.e., both implicitly and explicitly – of Latinos. The aim is to make Latinos feel inferior, stupid, lazy, and unpatriotic. During the CINCO DE MAYO Celebration it was used to encourage young High School Caucasian students to take down any symbols of such pride - symbols at the corazon (heart) of young Latinos. In some high schools and colleges students showed up dressed in clothing embellished with the American flag and highly patriotic symbols to overshadow the perennial attention given to token symbolism given to the CINCO DE MAYO observance – i.e., Mexican Dresses, Mexican sombreros, the Mexican Flag and so forth. Talk Radio stations (part of this “Lunatic fringe” machinery) egged on conflict. THE MICHAEL BERRY SHOW promoted such a divisive and anti-Latino show, egging on the cited defiance. It reported that a local Caucasian high school student had been suspended for removing a MEXICAN Flag from the hall area of a school (this incident occurred at Klein Collins High School). However, he failed to note that the Mexican Flag was not just removed but defaced as if a warning to young Latinos.

However, after the incident, THE MICHAEL BERRY SHOW reported their own intellectually dishonest spin on their website: “The school pitched a fit, reviewed the surveillance tapes, found the student, and suspended him for three days. AND he has to pay for the flag. In light of the SF story of students sent home for wearing the AMERICAN flag because it offended the Hispanic students, I thought you’d like to know about a story closer to home."

El Defenzor spoke to top administrative staff at Klein Collins High School. The staff informed our publications that rumors were falsely promoted on conservative radio and by other means to upset caucasian parents that the school administrative staff had placed a Mexican Flag above the American Flag on a pole outside Klein Collins High School. Other parents were disingenuously notified that the American Flag was flying upside down. Due to the prevarications some of the staff was threatened. “There were daily rumors and false conspiracies used by radio pundits to promote a negative agenda among students. This defeats the goals of the public schools,” a top administrator explained. "This false info places our Latino students and some of the staff in danger both in and out of school. They are trying to make us look as if we are guilty of treason."

One question has been asked repeatedly: “Why are young Caucasian children being urged (even by their own parents) to promote such symbolisticconfrontations?” One imminent professor of social science at Texas A&M stated: “Surely not to positively move this nation forward, but to send off subtle, divisive messages, such as ‘Hey Latino, you are not ‘American enough’ and other messages, such as “I am showing blatant disrespect for your heritage and historic contribution – do you want to do something about it? It will just give me some media coverage!”

Another part of the plan is to take away young voters away from supporting Obama in the subsequent presidential campaign and away from Democrats in the election in November. Obama was elected as a result of the turnout by this latter group. On the other side of the fence, the “Lunatic Fringe” of the Conservative movement is trying to phase out “liberalism” of the young (e.g., those Caucasians that are sensitive and open to a pluralistic society) and tolerant and conscientious of the needs of other ethnic groups. They blame the democratic, egalitarian and multicultural view of the American Public School system for this result. They (e.g., Eugenicist/anti-Immigrant crusader, Dr. John Tanton have translated a controversial book, THE CAMP OF THE SAINTS, written by a French writer, Jean Raspail, into English. It is being used as a “bible” by many in the core leadership to “architect” the course of their movement. The cited book is reviled in Europe in most circles and is considered bigoted, ghastly and xenophobic. It is a fictional story of a “dark completed” people (from India) that arrive in boatloads in France and Europe; they eventually plunder it - according to the author, tainting the gene pool of White Society.

Dr. JOHN TANTON (who is bankrolling the Anti-Immigrant, anti-Latino movement in Arizona, Texas and California and other states)– writes in one of his articles on the U.S. CONSTITUTION: “It's A Document Based on Bond of Blood & Ethnicity”. “Nations and their cultures,” he has suggested on numerous occasions, “are largely determined by biology — race.” In a Nov. 13, 1994, letter to white nationalist columnist Lawrence Auster, a regular correspondent, Tanton suggested that the Declaration of Independence was actually a document based on the "bond of blood and ethnicity — nationhood." Almost a year earlier, in a Dec. 10, 1993, letter to Garrett Hardin, a controversial ecology professor, he said: "I've come to the point of view that for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority, and a clear one at that." On Jan. 26, 1996, he wrote Roy Beck, head of the immigration restrictionist group NumbersUSA (and then an employee of Tanton's foundation U.S. Inc.), questioning whether Latinos were capable of governing California.

Dr. Tanton formed an organization known as Federation of American Immigration Reform (FAIR). In one of his letters to Beck, while referring to the changing demographics in California public schools, writes: “(I wonder) whether the minorities who are going to inherit California (85% of the lower-grade school children are now 'minorities' — demography is destiny) can run an advanced society?” Also,
Dr. Tanton has defended racial quotas imposed on immigrants. In a Nov. 3, 1995, memo to FAIR boss Dan Stein and the entire FAIR board of advisors (including Mr. and Mrs. Harte. the former owners of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times), defends the infamous "White Australia" policy that restricted non-white immigration into that country from 1901 to 1973. He claimed it was not “bigoted” nor ethnocentric, but sheltered native-born labor (the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act outlawed racial quotas in Australia).

It makes perfect sense: the “lunatic fringe” of the Conservative Right catenated with other interests groups involved with eugenics wants to harden and desensitize Caucasians in U.S. Society, and at the same time anneal them against racial minorities by whichever manner they can. THE CAMP OF THE SAINTS (book) – this is an elemental primer being used. They appear to be trying to remold it in such a way that it advocates a return to a fictional utopia that once was the norm in U.S. Society, a utopia governed by White Anglo Saxon Protestant values. This interpretation of the mentioned book is racially charged and the model Caucasian is seen as the phoenix, the beau ideal, the ideal breeder. Their values become superior to others; sectarianism is promoted.

ARE top CORPUS CHRISTI TEA PARTY leaders/organizers TIED IN TO HATE & ANTI-GOVERNMENT GROUPS? (Part 1 of a Series)

WHO IS CORPUS CHRISTI TEA PARTY'S CHUCK BURNETT?

Chuck Burnett founded South Texans For Liberty (operating out of Corpus Christi). He also sits in the Corpus Christi Tea Party Steering Committee along with organizer Donna McClure (a nurse who has a banner on her FACEBOOK page that states: “Be nice to nurses or we might let the doctors kill you.” The question has been asked by Latinos: "What if you don't share her anti-Government beliefs or anti-Immigration policty?"

SOUTH TEXANS FOR LIBERTY (STFL) meets on a regular basis at JASON’S DELI in Corpus Christi. It is a recruiting ground for the HATE GROUP known as the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY of which Chuck Burnett is the Chapter President and main recruiter. At their meeting at STFL, Burnett actively sets a systematic sect-like agenda. He usually follows the John Birch / Constitutional Party agendas of conditioning. According to sources that attend the functions, he explains that there is an evil NEW WORLD ORDER or NWO for short (that is, a global elite agenda of rich folks who have been selectively chosen - note: of course, he determines who is evil and who is not) trying to control the world. At times his conspiratorial charges seem to travel beyond the pale of social acceptance of the memberhsip. For instance, Governor Rick Perry is identified as one of these “globalists”, and he even adds “Sarah Palin” to the list for endorsing Perry and for her stand on the Patriot Act. "Communist," "Socialist," Pro-Communist," "Subversive," "Un-American," "Anti-American," "Traitor" -- how many are labels he uses regularly to demonize those that do not cater to his myopic, conspiratorial-based belief structure. As one member told me: "He told be to be careful with the fluoride in the water. He has learned (I don't know from who) that it is a form of mind control by the Globalists. This I couldn't swallow."

The Burnett–led movement in Corpus Christi reflects his associations with both the "lunatic fringe" of the John Birch Society and the Constitution Party of Texas – he is a chapter president of these two organizations. He has a hunger for self-importance (according to one that orbits his burg). He clamors (as Robert Welch once did) that the U.S. Constitution has been stepped on and the U.S. needs to do away with the Department of Education. Why? Some critics of the Burnett movement claim it has racialist motives stemming from Robert Welch's days. This view point perceives public education as a multicultural monstrosity created by the Federal Government, and it puts forth a underlying animosity against modernization and egalitarian values – that is, the latent qualm is that education has served as a form of the socio-occupational mobility for ethnic minorities. “The Feds have no business being in the business of Education” – this is one of his mantras. Burnett claims he is no racist; he just want to thin Government by putting it on a JBS diet.

Adhering to the tenets of both the Constitution Party of Texas and the platform of the John Birch Society, he also calls for doing away with the FEDERAL RESERVE (clearly mimicking the offical position espoused by the website JBS.ORG) – again, he attributes the failure of the FEDERAL RESERVE and NATO to a GLOBALIST agenda.

There is also Amy McLain of Corpus Christi, wife to Ron McLain (Ron, an attorney who works with the Thomas J. Henry Law Firm, was recently elected as Nueces County Republican Chair). She has been a passionate supporter and member of Burnett-sponsored causes with the South Texans For Liberty, an organization that "inside" informants describe as a transitional organization into the HATE GROUP known as the John Birch Society. Ron is a fan of Texans for Liberty (check out the FACEBOOK page: Texans For Liberty.).

When Homer Villarreal, founder of El Defenzor Newspaper started an investigation (a few weeks ago) into charges that the core leadership of the CORPUS CHRISTI TEA PARTY had links to HATE GROUPS, i.e., JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY and other anti-Government organizations, Ms. Amy McLain (to iterate, she is the wife of the Nueces County Republican Chair) immediately went on the “warpath” accusing El Defenzor’s Villarreal of deception and of false-identity schemes on FACEBOOK without one shred of evidence. She made these statements in a FACEBOOK PAGE created by some JOHN BIRCHERS/CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY adherents. A FACEBOOK PAGE that has been copied after being requested by several entities. Soon after, Mr. Villarreal’s life was threatened as well as that of his family. Some long time activists of the Republican Party are critical of Ms. McLain for being more concerned about defending Chuck Burnett’s “standoffish political pet projects” – i.e., Burnett is the Chapter President of the HATE GROUP known as the John Birch Society. In addition, it has been unearthed that Burnett has also announced as a THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE with the Constitution Party of Texas (which has a highly controversial anti-government platform resembling JBS's). “How could Ms. McLain be more concerned about helping a HATE GROUP than about the concerns of the Nueces County Republican Party of which her husband is the chair?” – this question was repeated asked by some main stream Republicans.

It appears that Burnett has been her political-ideological mentor for a while. Amy is not only a member of SOUTH TEXANS FOR LIBERTY but also a dedicated side-kick and trouble-shooter for Burnett's undertakings. He claims that the late U.S. President Eisenhower was a “communist sympathizer”, and also who believes that Radio/TV Talk Show Glen Beck is an "idiot" who is trying to hijack the Tea Parties and the Patriot movements for the GLOBAL AGENDA ESTABLISHMENT. Some of the the Tea Party members consider Burnett's position as bizarre. He has stated repeatedly that he only favors "Ron Paul-endorsed Tea Parties" (of which he has a monopoly int he region).

The CONSTITUTION PARTY website is very clear about it’s partisan position. It criticizes Sarah Palin: “The GOP rock star, Sarah Palin, said: ‘The Tea Party needs to make a choice between an “‘R’” or a “‘D’”. Palin rightly points out that the Tea Party is not a Political party and cannot run candidates, but she is wrong to say there are only two choices because there is another choice: The Constitution Party. The Constitution Party platform fits the Tea Party like a glove … To say we have to pick between two incompetent choices is absolute lunacy…They need to vote in The Constitution Party.”

The same website adds: “If Palin was a true tea party patriot, she would not be asking us to choose between a Marxist party and a Fascist party. She would be leading her followers to a truly American party. . . . . The Constitution Party.”

The above party is the one that Burnett is involved with, and Ms. McLain (the FIRST LADY of the Nueces County Republican party) is acting as his sidekick and troubleshooter. A website, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Party_of_Texas, reports that Chuck Burnett had enrolled as a candidate (pending signatures) for Lieutenant Governor with the CONSTITUTION PARTY OF TEXAS (which is trying to establish itself as a viable third Party). This “lunatic-fringe” party (as referred to by the Southern Poverty Law Center) was organized in Texas in 1996 under the “U.S. Taxpayer’s Party.” The party in order to appear in the November ballot must gather 43,992 signatures of registered voters who abstained from voting in any other Party Primary election in 2010 according to Texas law. The ballot access petitions must be signed between March 10 and May 24 – the office of the Texas Secretary of State must validate them… The question being asked by some key Republicans in Nueces County is: “Is Amy McLain pushing for a Third Party to win instead of the regional Republican Party?” Then again, Burnett’s visions of grandeur in the political arena might not materialize if the signatures are not gathered on time. Yet a puzzling question remains: Why would the “First Lady” of the Republican Party of Nueces County be part of a Third Party Movement? This will be explored in subsequent articles.

WHAT IS MORE DISTURBING to the TEA PARTY/CHUCK BURNETT-network core leadership is not so much that they are being linked to the “lunatic fringe” and “hate elements” in the immediate socio-political reality, but the fact that Burnett and others are working assiduously to destabilize the Republican Party in Texas by chipping away at it. He is furtively forming a separatist camp (while they toil daily putting together a viable, working-THIRD PARTY -- to reiterate, the CONSTITUTION PARTY of TEXAS (the latter is a state chapter of a national one). Even a new local group known as the AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISTS led by Mark Blankenship, a group that has supporters like outspoken businessman Harold Koclanes (seems to function as a front group for the Constitution Party – it has the same logo as the latter). This same model is being used nationwide to practically force the “mainstream” Republican Party to allow them (e.g., John Birch Society, American Constitution Party and the likes of the White Nationalist groups such as the Council of Conservative Citizens) to negotiate a legitimate spot in the nation’s party that would bestow upon them an air of mainstream legitimacy. (Note: This can be glimpsed at when mainstream Republican organizations co-sponsor events with the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY and the COUNCIL OF CONSERVATIVE CITIZENS -- these are two known HATE GROUPS).

Zooming back to Texas. If they are able to marshal their THIRD PARTY ruse and able to run their “anti-establishment” conservative candidates via this medium, it will greatly divide and devastate the Republican Party stronghold in certain areas of the state such as Nueces County. Experts believe it will enhance the chances for Democrats to win for office more effortlessly. “How is this so?” – some have asked. “What proof exists?” Well, in Nueces County Ron McLain (who is affiliated with the anti-establishment Burnett-network) was recently elected chairman of the Republican Party. Ron defeated Mike Bergsma who was tagged the “Establishment” candidate. Some top Republicans felt Bergsma would be a "shoe-in."

Others claim Ron McLain’s political war chest was filled by downtown lawyers (i.e., mostly ideologically oriented-Democrats such as Thomas J. Henry) that want to suppress the anti-tort reform groups such as CITIZENS AGAINST LAWSUIT ABUSE and TEXANS FOR TORT REFORM.

Despite Ron McLain is an attorney who works for the Thomas J. Henry Law Firm. Upon taking his seat as chair of the regional Republican Party, he realized that change would not be instituted speedily. The “establishment” has a stronghold within the structure, despite the impression management and despite the fact that the representative “face” has changed.

Ms. Amy McLain (Ron’s wife) and her influential mentor -- Burnett (and his cabal of "wild bullet" extremists) -- are irate due to the above. They are upset at the “staus quo” members of the Nueces County Republican Party. The core leadership of the Tea Party/Burnett-Network has compared them to stigmatized “establishment-Globalists” Republicans such as Governor Rick Party at the state level and Sarah Palin at the national level). “The New World Order Puppeteers” – this is just one of the many unfriendly labels used to describe the latter.

Recently the Republican Party in Nueces County held their conference – a conference that was controlled by the likes of the “Establishment” Republicans such as County Judge Loyd Neal (whom some "insiders" tagged the “unofficial voice” of the Republican Party (to taunt the Ron McLain tenure); while the Burnett-network refers to Neal and others as “Our local Globalists”). At the cited convention the tension was so high that one could almost “cut it with a razor blade” -- reported a few sources. One lady said: “I was appointed to one of the committees by Chairman Ron McLain: every recommendation that I made was shot down by the ‘Establishment’ Republicans). It was so embarrassing to me personally to be treated in such a callous manner. I wanted out of the conference the first chance I had, and I did precisely that, exit the room as soon as I had done my part.”

Records obtained by El Defenzor Newspaper from both “inside sources” and other public ones indicate that some involved core leaders affiliated with the TEA PARTY/Burnett-network have had behind closed-doors meetings with State Representative Solomon P. Ortiz Jr., a Democrat-Corpus Christi.

Keep in mind that some of these are prominent members within the Republican Party, and are now re-identifying themselves as “Conservative-Independents” (instead of “Republican-Independents"). There is an elephantine difference between the two labels in reference to their future outlook for the “Conservative movement.” This has been repeatedly pointed out by Howard Koclanes, a part-time conservative radio commentator who is affiliated with both the TEA PARTY and American Constitutionalists movement.

What would the motivation be for such prominent rogue Republicans and members of the Burnett-Network to tiptoe out together and sneakily lobby with a hardcore, progressive Democrat such as State Representative Ortiz, Jr.? It is an act that some loyal, respected Republicans (who have become privvy to this information) have labeled "an underhanded, treacherous act."

” The reason for the “closed door” meeting with Ortiz Jr.? To ask for his help in passing legislation that would expedite their “THIRD PARTY” cause (e.g., CONSTITUTION PARTY OF TEXAS) to occur summarily.

"Why did these folks turn to Ortiz Jr., instead of a Republican representative?" -- one question being asked. “It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. No respectable Republican, if conscious of this stratagem, will want his party to be undermined by a sedition-type faction within his camp. I don’t know if this is directly linked with the Attorney Thomas J. Henry factor (a democrat and law partner of the chair) who earned some respect among Republicans when he worked with conservatives to try and nail Mauricio Celis for not having a license to practice law in the state of Texas. Was this a major variable why Attorney Henry’s law partner (Ron McLain) was trojan-horsed into becoming the Republican chair? I sense we have been duped,” one local Republican activist vociferated.

Chuck Burnett admits to the above in a note he posted on the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY site (JBS.ORG) and a few other sites he frequents to satisfy his narcissistic urges. Burnett writes:

“But we currently have a solution to the problem. Enter Solomon Ortiz, Jr ; one of our state representatives from Corpus Christi. Representative Ortiz agreed that the present system was less than ideal. He and his staff worked to come up with a much less restrictive hurdle. The Bill that Representative Ortiz has sponsored is HB 820 This Bill would lower the requirement of 60,000 or so signatures; to 500. That is a huge change although still more restrictive than things were fifty years ago. Here is the Bill: http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/81R/billtext/html/HB00820I.htm -- I am going to guess that Representative Ortiz will get some flack from some of his fellow members up in the House.” Burnett adds: “But I am also going to guess that most of it will be behind closed doors; not in the light of day. This Bill may not be appreciated by all because of partisan politics. But it will be appreciated by all that love liberty and freedom. It will be extolled by the statesmen of our day. Those that love freedom can be bold in promoting this bill. Those that oppose it should be ashamed of themselves. This is a very good Bill.”

As the layers of this corner are being pulled aside daily by the investigation of El Defenzor, a disturbing sketch is being revealed. Burnett’s ties to the national AMERICAN CONSTITUTION PARTY are very disconcerting. For instance, the presidential candidate for the CONSTITUTION PARTY (at the National Level) is an anti-government fanatic by the name of Chuck Balwin, 57. He calls the late Civil Rights Leader, Rev. Martin Luther King, an apostate (a communist traitor). In 2000, Balwin declared that the Bush-Cheney ticket was “too liberal.”

Balwin publishes columns that are archived on VDARE.com, a racist website that regularly bashes Latinos and immigrants. His anti-government rhetoric has set off an alarm even with the FBI who has a meticulous file on him.

He is so extreme to the point that he sympathizes with Joe Stack -- the tax protester who flew a plane into an IRS office. Balwin He believes the South was right in the Civil War. Not too long ago, the Southern Poverty Law Center listed a detailed list of the top ten most dangerous anti-government "patriotic groups" in the nation. Balwin ranked number one.

As for Corpus Christi’s Chuck Burnett, he has openly taken similar ideological positions as Balwin's. Burnett claims that 9/11 was an “inside job” and recommends his followers to read CROSSING THE RUBICON and adds: “You will know this guy was on track.”

Burnett has gone as far as to have posted a statement on one of his FACEBOOK pages that reads: “The South Will Rise Again To Its Full Glory.” The later slogan was a popular catchphrase used by the Ku Klux Klan. Burnett is the Chapter President (as mentioned) of the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY (and founder of SOUTH TEXANS FOR LIBERTY). Many a scholar have asked, "what are the major distinctions between the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY (JBS) and the Ku Klux Klan?" – some jesting refer to the former as the “Uptown KKK who does not wear the robe”. But seriously, the JBS was founded by John Welch during the “Red Scare” of the 1950s. The JBS opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and even targeted Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren with billboards and flyers and commericials all over the nation for ruling in favor of it. The JBS said he was contributing to the “MONGRELIZATION OF THE WHITE RACE.”
