The xenophobic media darlings, Save Our State made their scheduled appearance in Burbank to protest the opening of a Day Labor/Temporary Worker Center adjacent to the new Home Depot.
burbank_1-21-06_011.jpg, image/jpeg, 640x960
SOS spent a short week of hard and fast Internet organizing and used the unchallenged nightly local media exposure to their advantage. Earlier in the week Don Silva sent out an impassioned plea to his e-mail lists in which he stated, “I am asking, basically pleading with as many of you as possible to show up this Saturday.” Silva’s begging paid off – SOS drew their biggest crowd ever, approximately 75. The opposition consisting of several local groups and individuals drew about 100. Two prominent groups there today were the ANSWER Coalition and the Mexica-Movement. One report on the Save Our State website placed the numbers at around 100 SOS to 150 anti-SOS. http://www.saveourstate.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7186&st=40 About an hour into the event the Mexica-Movement remained at their location in front of the day labor center and many of the “left” activists including ANSWER moved across the street. SOS remained where they started, on the sidewalk in front of Home Depot. Burbank police had a steady but relatively small presence but managed to keep the opposing sides apart for most of the day. The exception was an incident that occurred at the end of the event when SOS was being shuttled to their vehicles. Little by little SOS members were led 2-by-2 (like school children being taken by their teacher to the lavatory) across the street and down an alley to a secret, probably pre-planned, exit location. Toward the end of the exit parade Joe Turner, the SOS “man-in-charge” and a few other SOSers were left waiting for their rides. At that point the “left” contingent of the counter-protest, spearheaded by members from ANSWER crossed the street and surrounded Turner. The Mexica-Movement stayed at their location in front of the day worker center. Shouting him down, the activists removed the school-boy, ear-to-ear grin from his face for the first time all day leaving him frustrated and standing in the middle of the street waiting for his ride, who happened to be Don Silva who pulled up about 10 minutes later in his green taxi. Shuttled away no doubt to a celebratory lunch at a local Mexican restaurant more than likely staffed by a kitchen full of undocumented workers. http://www.saveourstate.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7186&st=80 The incident at the end of the protest was one of the more bizarre incidents to take place at an SOS event and it ranks right up there to Joe Turner’s arrest 10 minutes in to the 12-7-05 Glendale event, the Nazis in Laguna Beach pulling out their flags and then being chased to their cars by the counter protestors and the one SOSer near tears at the beginning of the 6-18-05 Alhambra event (you know who you are). One can only wonder what will happen next. The day was also highlighted by the appearance of a few Latino SOS members who were pushed to the front and given access to a bullhorn, at times assisted by Turner himself. Counter-protesters on the other side of the street were heard calling these individuals “house pets”. Apparently two of these men are available for hire or rent as SOS member LAPhil posted that he has contact information for these men. http://www.saveourstate.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7186&st=80 Throughout the day SOS members took turns on the bullhorn, each one making their “statement” which they believe will once and for all make the counter-protestors shut up and go away. It never works though because, as should be obvious in such a noisy environment, it’s really impossible to hear a word they are saying.

Yes, SOS has realized we are ONE PEOPLE. We are the Mexica. (the original, Indigenous way we say 'Mexican")
But we don't stop there: we want to include ALL Indigenous peoples of this continent as one Nican Tlaca nation without falsely-imposed European borders on us.
Lou Dobbs and Pat Buchanan have manufactured a lexicon for the SOS by falsely labling us as "La Raza" and "Mecha." if Lou Dobbs is smart, he'll continue to promote that straw man Mecha argument, and avoid giving any airtime to the Mexica Movement. That message would be too damaging for his European audience to hear.
Based upon the APB that SOS sent out (word pun nonwithstanding), I was hoping they would have marshalled way more people than actually showed up for them.
One glaring disparity between the two groups was the generational gap. Their side was conspicuously aged and representative of a by-gone era, fully in the death throes of nostalgia for the "good ol days."
Our side, by contrast, is youthful, vigorous, and on the march. Justice is on our side. The facts about this being our continent are on our side.
And oh yeah, that "demographic tidal wave" thing on the horizon is kind of gonna make a big difference, too.
The Mexica Movement was besieged by media interviews at this protest. Our message was delivered loud and clear.
We are calling for Europeans to go back to Europe. But we want the racist Europeans to go first, and ASAP. They would be so much happier in Europe among their own people, where they wouldn't have to face us anymore. (They can even call themselves "Americans" in Europe, and wave their flags, too!)
But we fully understand that there are DECENT Europeans on our continent, some with a strong sense of justice, willing to listen to the facts. Some are willing to act on behalf of what is right and just.
With those decent Europeans, we understand they will need a generation or two to sort out how they will return to their European homeland.
We understand of course, that all of this will take place outside the scope of our present lifetimes. But without a doubt, our future generations will take the baton from us and make it happen.
The bottom line of all this is: just as the Jews can argue that they wanted their land back after 2,000 years, we Nican Tlaca are demanding control of our lands back after only 500 years.

Since you all just can not tell the complete truth, ever, I only have one brief statement to your elite goons, Leslie, Nextmoron, El Chivers, and whomever else I am forgettng.
Numbers, always numbers ! This is your usual first lie. Even when we outnumber you for once, you still lie.
Real numbers. I know you can count to 100, so I know you lie.
105 = good guys
75 = evil globalists pawns (thats you, btw)
Also, you can call me anytime you want @ 818 601 8407. I am not afraid of any of you in the least, nor is my wife that you think you can intimidate me with by finding out her name and posting it here. Evil jacktards.
Feel free to post my Taxi, my name, (I know not yours, but you sure have ours on your minds, and signs.) and any other information that you want to post to make internet threats.
We just do not care what you think of us, now, or ever. I doubt if you will ever get it straight.. However, the 5 or so others that read the outright lies that next goon, cream and chives, and Leslie publish as 'journalism', deserve the truth...which you will NEVER give them.
Again, thank you for your support ! Util we use you next time, I remain - LL Don Silva...goons delight, and out of sight!

Its amazing to see this openly traitorous, seditious and separatist talk from these Mexica fools. By all means, please go ahead and unite and try and drive out the "European invader". I cannot wait to see you try and then watch with sour amusement as military tanks drive over your bodies.
Are you as stupid as you portray yourselves? You live in the most free and democratic nation on earth and what do you do? You spread hate and lies and spout sediitious ideologies. That's perfectly fine with me. I just feel bad for the good Latinos and other legal immigrants to this country who get grouped into your abyss of imminent self-destruction.
A cousin of mine works for the Dept of Homeland Security and she tells me that they are completely aware of this growing Mexican separatist movement and that its NOT being taken as a joke. That's bad news for you since this out of control Bush adminstration is more than happy to start wire tapping you morons and before too long you might find yourselves in the same position as the Black Panthers or early Chicano Brown Beret assholes who were basically dismantled by the FBI in the early 70s. So keep it up because the more you show your hate and intolerance the sooner you'll finish digging your own graves.

"We are Mexica" is just who we are. The denial of who we are is what has been racist.
And you're right, "Mexica" is "exclusionary" in the same way one wants to "exclude" a burglar from his/her house.
It's "exclusionary" the same way a Jew does not want to abdicate Israel to China.
Where is the diversity you ask? "Diversity" just means "Whites on top." Same thing with the term "multiculturalism."
We have enough internal diversity among all the varied and fascinating peoples of our continent (not to mention the southern continent).
Does one ask a Jew "what about your diversity? Why are you excluding the Italians from owning Israel? After all, the Romans once colonized it."
No, one does not. Neither should one ask the same of our people and our continent.

I don't know about the religion, but, culturally, Jewish people are very diverse. There's all kinds, all over the world. In America, there's a range, including Mexican-American people of Jewish heritage.
I think the question more often asked is "why do you all argue amongst yourselves so much?" Another common question is whether so-and-so's spouse is also Jewish, because they outmarry a lot.

Come on, Don. Unclench those teeth and _try_ to smile for once in your sick, disgusting life. There's so much more to life than being afraid of brown skin and people who worship Satan. Unclench those teeth, climb down from that tree, and come _join_ your intellectual and moral superiors in that great adventure called Life.

Manual: Do you drive a car or ride a bus?
Do you use a washing machine?
Watch TV, listen to a radio, use a flashlight? Use a match, a pencil, toothpaste.
If so, these are non-Indigenous people inventions. And if you use any of them, you are choosing to be non-Indigenous.
You seek to convert the United States to your Indigenous ways.
But there are areas all over the world where Indigenous peoples live - the rain forest for example.
Why don't you move to the rain forest? You could certainly meet and live with Indigenous people there and throw off all the shackles of the U.S.
You could be happy in the rain forest instead of frustrated in the United States.

After reading the comments on the report I now know why Don is so angry, scared, and worried about immigrant workers from Latin America; because he's worried about losing his high skilled job as a taxi driver to an immigrant worker. Now it all makes sense. I feel for you Don, but don't get mad at the immigrants, get mad at yourself for not going to school and getting a better job. Why do you get mad at people who just want to work? If you can win this argument without bringing up other issues such as crime or social services then you might have a valid argument and if your argument is the lowering of wages then just remember that there is such a thing as the minimum wage in California which every employer must comply with.

i may or may not have identified the minuteman known as thewatchdog. on the way to the protest saturday, i saw this really ugly dude standing by his car with a camera, and just had to take a pix. from what i can gather it was thewatchdog. i believe this guy has been posting derogatory film of the counterprotesters at his two websites. if you see him, block his view and kindly direct him back to the sos side. he is supposedly filming a "documentary" on the border issues, but his presentation is biased. correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought documentaries were supposed to be impartial and educational, thereby allowing the viewer to make up their own minds--not propaganda designed to lead the viewer to a particular conclusion. if you doubt, read his negative comments on the websites (sos forums also). don't let him film you, he will only attempt to belittle you.

Minutewoman,
Why didn't your European people come to this continent with those inventions already?
Why didn't the pilgrims arrive with computers? electricity? flashlights? cars? MRI machines?
WHY DID IT STILL TAKE EUROPEANS 200 YEARS TO INDUSTRIALIZE ON OUR CONTINENT?
Why did it take Europeans 3 centuries to come up with the computer EVEN AFTER arriving here?
Simple, Europeans used the resources of OUR continent to create these things. It further took Europeans another 200 years to begin industrialization. The profits from African slavery and the stolen croplands of our continent finance the Industrial Revolution.
Through genocide of our people, Europeans were able to "move in" with free land, free gold, free slaves, free crops lands.
Just like the Beverly Hillbillies.
Why didn't Europeans arrive here industrialized? Why did it take Europeans 200 years to industrialize even after they came here?
That's 200 years of development that Europeans savagely denied our Indigenous people.
In many ways we were more advanced than Europeans, esp in mathematics and astronomy.
We even had our own calculator called the Nepohualtzitzin.
We probably would've invented the computer in the 1800's if Europeans hadn't savagely denied our development.
But we're going to change all that now. We're thinking long-term. By 200 years from now, our people will be liberated. And who nows, it may even be sooner than that.

Border Raven (or is it Minutewoman, hey what you do in your own private time is your business)
You were very rational in your assessment that we possessed "amazing" civilizations that were "full of architectural mastery and mystery. Based on advanced mathematics etc."
See? Somewhere inside that Darth Vader outfit is some humanity that is in accord with logic and facts.
Let's continue down that road, shall we? Why isn't Palenque a modern city, thriving with technology and continued advancedments?
The answer is because of Europeans. It is Europeans who committed genocide against 95% of our people.
"American law" is colonial law. Just as Jews in modern Israel do not look to the German Parliament for permission on how to behave as Jews in Israel, to too do we not need any persmission or approval from Europeans.
In fact, it is our duty to NOW assert our rights to this continent, and to restore the "mastery and mystery...based on advanced mathematics etc" that should have rightfully been ours over the last 500 years.
This is how we should be living NOW, as Indigenous people.
As for "disparaging comments towards Europeans," calling a burglar a burglar only feels "disparaging" from the burglar's mentality.

On Indigenous Civilizations, Exploration, Discovery and Conquering of the New World
Exploration, Discovery and Conquering of the New World, was largely dependent on superior intelligence, modes of transportation, weapons development and tactics. It was Homo-erectus who defeated Neanderthal, and populated North Africa, Europe and Asia. While this was happening others were exploring and migrating about the land mass eventually populating Southwest Asia, as still others went Northeast and eventually crossed into what is now Alaska.
While the group in Alaska continued to migrate about North America and southward, the group in what is now Western Europe settled, and eventually became Spain, France, Germany, Italy, etc. By then methods of transportation, weapons, and tactics, had progressed, as did diseases and immunities.
It was inevitable for the populations who settled on one of the continents, to reach intellectual superiority, develop superior transportation, weapons and tactics, and finally find, and conflict, and defeat or be defeated, by the other.
To bring this to modern times, it was inevitable for one group to invent rockets (Chinese), but then make a rocket reach space (Russia), put humans on the Moon (USA with the help of Germans).
To take this to the future, either the people on Earth will discover a planet suitable for habitation (20,000 light years away?) or Extra-Terrestrials will find and conquer us.
In the mean time, we are stuck on this planet, on this Continent, and I don't see the Mexica or Aztlan, happening soon, so learn to accept it.

"Border" "Raven's" history lesson (On Indigenous civilizations and Exploration of the New World, above) is ludicrous claptrap.
1. Humans lived for 2 million years without classes, conquest or exploitation.
2. Classes, conquest and exploitation are aberrations of the last 10,000 years.
3. Until 1492 Europe was a backwater trying to trade pots and pans for gold and luxury items from the more "advanced civilizations", especially from India and China.
4. But the Muslim nations had a lock on sea trade. Hence the effort to find an Eastern passage to India.
5. From the outset Europe imposed trade on more "advanced" civilizations of the era because it had developed one key thing - the cannon.
6. Europe would nonetheless have remained a backwater had it not been for the theft of gold from the Native Peoples of the Western Hemisphere, which fueled the rise of capitalism and the "Renaissance."
7. The "Renaissance" was not a "Renaissance." There was nothing in Europe to renew. The learning the "re-discovered" was not and had never been European, but was rather Athenian, Egyptian, Perisan, Roman and Muslim. None of these societies considered themselves "European." They all were centered on the Mediterranean Sea, not "Europe."
8. It was no "discovery at all. The most "advanced" people of Afro-Eurasia at that time were the Muslims. _THEY _ preserved the knowledge of the "Ancient" "world" and bestowed it upon Europe, esp through the Iberian Penninsula and Italy, which were in whole or part under Muslim rule.
In sum: When Europeans conquered Mexico and Western South America (the principle sources of gold and silver - which Europe utterly lacked) Europe was a filthy backwater where no one bathed (this is a matter of historcial record) that had just finished killing some 11 million of its own people in bloodthirsty, savage, Inquisitions and and many more in religous wars of conquest.
Mexican and South American gold, silver and foodstuffs _made_ Europe, along with Muslim knowledge.
There was not a damn thing "superior" about the backwoods joint.

Ok Fredric you want more attention. Heres my suggestion. It worked for me but it wasnt my idea. After I went to a meeting in carlsbad, someone thoughtfully got my address phone number, (both work and home) and lots of other personal data .on an iddymedia site. calling me a Nazi
I got lots of attention after that but for me it was unwanted. So here is my suggestion.
Taunt someone on the SOS side calling them your moral and intellectual inferior and post pictures of them going into their homes and workplace. Eventully some inferior will decide to taunt you back by legally postiing your home address in Glendora on Brxxxxxl street. They might post your phone number of 626 953-xxxx fax 626-953-xxxx they can post your place of employment and phone number your medical info, equifax info. Publishing your social security number might be illegal but it is EVERYWHERE on the net and you think they are moral inferiors anyway so who knows. Of course Jana your wife would also e fair game
Since the brain challenged SOS can't figure out how to do a person search you'll most likely have to do it your self. Remember though that every piece of information about you is already on the internet published by you or your legal agent.
Now even tough this was done to me I have no intention of doing this under ANY circumstances and I am in no way threatening you or blackmailing you. Morally inferior or not I think it is repugnant to destroy someones privacy, even if they did it first to you.
You want attention from the other side, go for it. You will be amazed, yes amazed how much attention you will get from SOS

I just stated a fact that people forget. "Slaves built this country." That's not a justification of anything. Rather, it taints the country, casts a dark shadown on our history, and explains a lot of why things are still screwed up. The fact that people don't remember that slaves built this country is just historical amnesia.
This has nothing to do wth day laborers, who are not slaves. MW thinks they are slaves, but, they simply do not qualify as "slaves." Slaves have one "boss," their owner; the laborers are free people who work for different clients.
There are people here, today, who are real slaves or indentured workers. That's a different issue.
There are also virtual slaves working in prisons, making stuff for corporations. That, again, is a different issue.

History is, as you point out, most often defined as the study of docoments about and from the past, but acceptable data also include archaeological and anthropological data.
In this case, we are not talking about "history" but so-called "pre-history."
The point I was making about Africnas in Europe was rhetorical, not strictly historical,as you well know.
But it was based on the latest science.

The Mexican day laborors are not contractors.
In California to be a contractor or a sub- contractor, you need to have a contractors license, a $7500 bond. if they perform more than $300 worth of work. They are at will association. They work until they quit or are fired. There is no contract.
The IRS would not call them independent contractors since they work on an hourly basis, do not provide their ownj tools and have are supervised by another.
They also are not employees. To be an employee they must have workers comp insurance, a W-2 on file and social security deductions.
And there is a third catagory. It is an illegal association. The employer avoids paying taxes( and providing insurance ( a crime) The employee avoids paying income and social security taxes( also a crime)
And it is the homeowner who will end up paying for allowing criminal activity.
I hope that every illegal alien that is injured on the job files a complaint with workers comp and sues the homeowner for negliegence. The illegal alien is sure to win.

I think John K is trying to say they are independent business owners, like a service industry. the flaw in this theory is that that to prevent unscrupuolous employers from avoiding employment taxes and insurance, the tax agency set up a very strict guideline for them to follow. there is a term called "safe harbor" in relation to this rule, and it requires the the independent worker and the business that services are being provided to, keep records to show that they are in compliance with it. That means the workers need an invoice book, ledger, insurance etc. And independent workers are required to carry workers comp insurance on themselves, even if you are not a corporation. Your personal health policy, if you have one, may require re-imbursement from you if you are injured while in the course of your business.
