San Diego Tribune, July 6 "Illegal immigrants arrested after coming ashore in North County"
NORTH COUNTY — Two groups of illegal immigrants came ashore in North County and [Oceanside] were apprehended Tuesday, including 18 adults who were dumped off by a boat on a Camp Pendleton beach.
Marine Corps officials contacted the Border Patrol around 6 a.m. after the 13 men and five women were spotted on the base. It is believed the group was dropped off by smugglers using a boat, said Border Patrol Agent Mark Endicott.
The 18 were all Mexican nationals illegally in the country, Endicott said.
And then there's this, also from the SD Trib:
Earlier Tuesday, 16 people were apprehended when a boat carrying illegal immigrants came ashore in Leucadia.
The panga was first spotted about 1:20 a.m. by a Coast Guard helicopter on routine patrol south of Oceanside, Coast Guard Petty Officer Henry Dunphy said.
The boat made landfall about 2 a.m. near the Batiquitos Lagoon north of Grandview Beach, Dunphy said.
Border Patrol agents assisted by the Sheriff’s Department took the people into custody. Endicott said the 15 men and one woman were all Mexican nationals. The majority were apprehended near stairs leading to a condo complex near the beach, he said.
Tim Daniels of Left Coast Rebel, who lives north of San Diego County, commented:
is it any wonder then why Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (and 70% of Arizona residents) are desperate to resolve the crime and mayhem at their border? Because it is much, much worse there.
Yet Dear Leader and Eric Holder's cronies push to sue a state for simply and perhaps even desperately trying to save itself from a warzone situation.
The nation wants the borders closed and our country protected. As the White House and Justice fight the vast majority of America, can you say reelection, Western Democrats?
Note - I live on the South Texas Coast.
From Eric Dondero:
• Obama bows down to foreign rulers, including the King of Saudi Arabia
• Obama insults America's greatest allies - Britain, Poland, Czech Republic and Israel
• Obama directs his NASA head to "reach out" to the Muslim world rather than launch a program for Mars exploration, or a return to the Moon
• Eric Holder's Justice Dept. bring suit against State of Arizona for fighting Illegal Immigration
• Holder's Justice Dept. dismisses case against Black Panthers for intimmidating voters with weapons in front of Philly polling place
Tom Tancredo, out-of-office and not running for anything, is saying out-loud what many Republicans, Tea Party Patriots, and Libertarian Party members are thinking: Obama and his administration are the biggest threat to America and the ultimate survival of our Republic.
At a rally in Colorado last Thursday, from The Hill:
"We had that threat [from the former Soviet Union] and we survived it. Later we found out we had another threat to our way of life and that was al-Qaeda. We found that out on 9/11.
But I firmly believe this--it's not just, you know, sort of a dramatic statement that a person would make to get press or something, or ink. I believe this with all my heart. The greatest threat to the United States today, the greatest threat to our liberty, the greatest threat to the Constitution of the United States, the greatest threat to our way of life, everything we believe in, the greatest threat to the country that was put together by the founding fathers is the guy that is in the White House today."
Tancredo is the past president of the libertarian Independence Institute in Denver, served in the Reagan administration, and was a Congressman representing Denver south from 1998 to 2006.

The Evil Face of Communism
From Eric Dondero:
July 26 - that is the date in which one of the greatest mass murderers of human history will be sentenced by a UN Tribunal. Comrade Duch who ran the most infamous death camp in Communist Kampuchea (Cambodia) in the late 1970s is now on trial for crimes against humanity.
GlobalIssues.org describes the Killing Fields and Duch's role:
The judgement on Jul. 26, in the first international trial of a surviving Khmer Rouge leader, will be a groundbreaking moment for the South-east Asian nation, coming 31 years after the genocidal regime led by Pol Pot was driven out of power.
The 77-day trial of Kaing Khek Eav, better known as Comrade Duch, at the U.N.-backed Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) on the outskirts of the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh, began on Mar. 30, 2009.
Tuol Sleng, or S-21 as the extremist Maoist group called it, was a former high school where Duch and other jailers interrogated and tortured civilians, including children, who were considered enemies of the Khmer Rouge.
Only 11 people came out alive from the estimated 12,380 to 14,000 people imprisoned in Tuol Sleng. It was one of the nearly 200 detention centres that the Khmer Rouge maintained across the country during its rule from April 1975 to January 1979.
During this period, close to 1.7 million people, or nearly a quarter of that country’s population at the time, were executed or died due to forced labour or from starvation, as the reclusive tyrant Pol Pot pushed to create an agrarian utopia.
Rightwing Human Rights advocate Paul Chesser commented at American Spectator:
Duch's verdict is due on July 26, and the trials of four higher-ups in the Pol Pot leadership structure are supposed to begin in 2011 (if they're still alive), but the court has been marred by conflicts of interest and corruption. Millions of dollars have been wasted on this U.N. co-sponsored exercise in so-called justice, but at least the next generation of Cambodians will have a clear marker on their dark history.
Editor's Note - there has been little no coverage of the Duch trial in the liberal media. Only the conservative media has given coverage. (Dissapointedly, Not a single libertarian media outside of this website have covered the story.)
Right Libertarian defends Western Culture
From Eric Dondero:
Leader of the Dutch Party For Freedom (PVV), and internationally acclaimed Radical Islamist fighter, Geert Wilders, has been nominated for a distinguished award for Human Rights.
From the EU Independent Reporter, July 7:
Geert Wilders has been nominated for the Sakharov prize for his "tireless commitment to freedom of speech and his continuous struggle against islamization, mass-immigration and the leftish attacks on Western Humanist Judeo-Christian values that destroy Europe from within."
The nomination came from fellow Member of Parliament Barry Madlener.
Wilders, a libertarian-leaning Member of Parliament, has been a staunch supporter of Israel, and defender of Western culture from attacks by Radical Islam in the Netherlands and worldwide.
Sahkarov was the famous Russian dissident and Nuclear Physicist who challenged the leadership of the Soviet Union in the 1980s. He advocated reform, and for open and free elections. In 1989, after the overthrow of the Soviet Union by Boris Yeltsin and other reformers, Sahkarov was elected to the first democratic Russian Parliament of Deputies. Though, he died of a heart attack a year later.
Immigration biggest issue in the Race
The Libertarian Party of Arizona now has a hotly contested primary for Governor. Four candidates have filed. And at least two of the four are Right Libertarians. They are being challenged by a hardline Leftwing Libertarian.
The Arizona Republic featured third party candidates, July 10:
Arizona's third-party candidates, representing the Libertarian and Green parties, hope to tap into voter frustration over the economy and the state budget to win election to the Governor's Office.
Although they face an uneven contest that heavily favors their more well-known and well-financed Republican and Democratic opponents, the candidates believe their alternatives for solving some of the state's biggest fiscal issues will appeal to disenchanted voters.
"If we could ever pull off a Jesse Ventura here in Arizona, it is this year," said Alvin Ray Yount (photo - left), a Libertarian candidate for governor, referencing the former governor of Minnesota who won an election as a third-party candidate. "People in this state are pissed."
Hess calls Yount and Olsen "Carpetbaggers"
From Yount's profile:
Yount, who used to be a Republican, said he became disaffected with both parties about 10 years ago.
As governor, Yount said his biggest priorities would be improving the state's economy and securing the border with Mexico.
To prevent illegal immigrants from coming into the state, Yount said, he would use those arrested to finish building the border fence.
Also featured Bruce Olsen (a favorite of this website):
Bruce Olsen, a semiretired pilot and former businessman from Overgaard, joined the Libertarian Party in April 2009 after deciding he was too conservative for the Republican Party.
Olsen said the two biggest issues facing the state are securing the border and fixing the state's economy.
He wants to place more National Guard troops along the border to stop people coming into the country illegally.
He also wants to stimulate the state's economy by granting tax cuts to promote agriculture, creating manufacturing jobs that cannot be shipped overseas and lowering or eliminating taxes.
But perenniel candidate leftwing Libertarian Barry Hess is not pleased:
Hess (photo - right) opposes the state's new immigration law... he sees his primary competitors as "carpetbaggers" who have jumped onto the party's label without truly believing in the party's message.
The Conservative Media Watchdog group Eyeblast.TV has uncovered shocking video from March, 2002. Black Nationalist Malik Shabazz is caught on tape praising Osama bin Laden.
“Let’s talk about this brother (Bin Laden), he’s a bold man, Mr. Bin Laden, got to give him his respect, he’s now bowing down. . . a man, born in Saudi Arabia bringing reform to this World, Mr. Bin Laden”
EyeBlast has the Video.
Shabazz has been under fire for endorsing the carrying of a nightstick at a Philadelphia polling place on election day 2008. Eric Holder's Justice Dept. recently dropped the case.
Shabazz was an early backer of Barack Obama. His New Black Panther Party website issued this statement on Nov. 4, 2008:
"We love Barack Obama, he gives our people great hope and light for advancement! Every President America has had has been a white man, now the Black Man must be given his time to rule. Obama is a man of justice and a leader who wants to do right. We warn you, leave Barack Obama alone and leave our babies alone because Black People are a spiritual people and a people who are trying to do right and we will not hesitate to take up our legal rights of self defense, this case in Crockett County Tennessee is not isolated. ON ELECTION DAY, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4th, We will be at the polls in the cities and counties in many states to ensure that the enemy does not sabotage the black vote, which was won through the blood of martyrs the of our people.
Black Power!"

Calls for "Free College" for everyone
From Eric Dondero:
The Green Party and Libertarian Party candidates for Governor of Illinois took to the stage in Chicago the other night in a debate sponsored by a third party advocacy group. Third Parties often see themselves as united against the major parties, at least in spirit. However, unity was not in the air.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times - "most of the candidates called for cutting taxes and spending."
Not the Green Party, though. Rich Whitney, a far-left college professor who won 8% of the vote in 2008, launched verbal assaults against the free market agendas of both the Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party.
Free Money proves more popular with college students than austerity
From the Sun-Times:
But Green Party candidate Rich Whitney... called for $3 billion more spending to pay for free college for all Illinois students...
Whitney's plan was more popular with students here than the ideas of Libertarian Party candidate Lex Green and Constitution Party candidate Michael White, who backed easier access to loans for students instead of scholarships.
Libertarian Lex Green then chimed in:
Green said by cutting spending on health and education back to 2008 levels, "We really aren't doing anything Draconian."
Whitney vehemently disagreed.
"I don't think we can possibly agree that it's not Draconian to make further cuts in health and education," Whitney said. "We cannot possibly continue this way: teachers getting pink slips, class sizes getting higher. This is Draconian."
Note - in the 2008 election, Green Party activists routinely blocked Libertarian Party petitioners from gaining signatures in states such as Ohio, New Hampshire and Connecticut.
