WAKING UP FROM OUR NIGHTMARE There is a new book just published by Don Paul and Jim Hoffman from the research done here: wtc7.net WAKING UP FROM OUR NIGHTMARE THE 9/11/01 CRIMES IN NEW YORK CITY by Don Paul and Jim Hoffman A Book Exposing the Core Facts of the September 11th Attack wtc7.net I got an early copy of this. It's a quick read and well worth paying attention to the arguments presented.

Re: Gus >... I fully agree but, without violent insurrection and overthrow of the government, how do you think the American people can get rid of them? Not that I'm advocating revolution, but I don't believe "democratic change" will do anything to change the status quo. Now you call Ray Gus --slip of the pen? Anyway, here's a clue to answer your question: Message 20815168 As I pointed out in the above post, the US faces the same dilemma with its swelling Latino minority as Europe faces with her own Arab/Muslim one... In other words: do you know why the US will never --NEVER-- invade and occupy Cuba --or any other large-sized South American country, for that matter? Simply: because US ruling elites are shit-scared about the backlash AT HOME such an enterprise would entail.... I mean, just close your eyes and imagine: an Abu Ghraib penitentiary in the sweltering jungle of Brazil --where white marines torture and abuse Hispanics... now broacast the pictures prime-time on California's TV network --and wait for the fallout... LOL! It's easy, if cowardly, for the US military to abuse Iraqis, Iranians, Afghans, or whatever Muslim/Arab people in the Middle East or Central Asia --since any backlash at home would be minimal: out of the 17 million Muslims in American, only 3 millions are Arab Americans... Now, keeping that pattern in mind, the $60,000 question is: are US authorities stupid enough, reckless enough, damfool enough, to cross the line --that is, the Latino line????? Could the US war on terrorism and the growing animosity towards Latino immigration be on a collision course??? If they are, the yanks are in for an ugly fray.... Gus

Follow-up... Plotting the "collision course" of the War on Terror and the Fight against Illegal Immigration: Rio Grande: Gateway to Terrorism By Julian Coman London Telegraph \| August 16, 2004 President Bush has launched a drive to halt illegal immigration across America's porous southern border, amid growing fears that terrorists may be using Mexico as a base camp before heading to Arizona, Texas and California. A string of alarming incidents has convinced Bush administration officials that lax immigration rules, designed to cope with the huge numbers of illegal entrants from Mexico, have become a significant loophole in the war on terror. Over the past month, border agents from Arizona and Texas have anonymously reported recent encounters with dozens of Arab men, who have made their way across the 2,000-mile Mexican border. Patrol agents told one Arizona newspaper that 77 males "of Middle Eastern descent" were apprehended in June in two separate incidents. All were trekking through the Chiricahua mountains and are believed to have been part of a larger group of illegal immigrants. Many were released pending immigration hearings. According to Solomon Ortiz, the Congressman for Corpus Christi in Texas, similar incidents are "happening all over the place. It's very, very scary". The two groups of Arab males were discovered by patrol guards from Willcox, Arizona. "These guys didn't speak Spanish," said one field agent, "and they were speaking to each other in Arabic. It's ridiculous that we don't take this more seriously. We're told not to say a thing to the media." A colleague told the paper: "All the men had brand-new clothing and the exact same cut of moustache." Local ranchers have also reported a rise in the sightings of large groups of young males. Last month, border patrol agents at McAllen airport, Texas, arrested a woman believed to be Pakistani, who was carrying a false South African passport. The woman, Farida Ahmed, is still being questioned by the FBI. She was travelling to New York, and admitted to having illegally crossed the Mexican border. She was still carrying a pair of wet jeans in her travel bag. More than 1.2 million people attempt to cross US borders illegally each year. The vast majority are Mexicans who are immediately repatriated. But under existing laws, which take account limited detention facilities, many non-Mexican illegal immigrants are released prior to a hearing with an immigration judge, which most fail to attend. Almost 22,000 non-Mexican immigrants have been released pending a hearing since last October. Once released, they are free to travel on their own throughout the United States. According to one Texas immigration official, those who slip through the net come "from all over the world". "If you want to enter the US illegally," said the official, "the way to do it is to get to Mexico first." The possibility of a southern border loophole for potential terrorists was recognised as early as last year. In testimony before Congress, Steve McCraw, the assistant director of the FBI's Office of Intelligence, stated that "the ability of foreign nationals to use [the hearings procedure] to create a well-documented but fictitious identity in the United States, provides an opportunity for terrorists to move freely within the US without triggering name-based watch lists. It also enables them to board planes without revealing their true identity".
