Today is a good day afterall!

Isn't the Minuteman thing fun.  Check out my Subway Canaries post about what is going on with them and with Alan Keyes.  Maybe it will help put things into perspective.

"Chris Simcox, Minuteman Civil Defense Corps  (You know who he is)

How about no honor among thieves.  Thanks to the Pondering American for this breaking news!  I've been telling you Simcox and the funds raised for his projects weren't quite above reproach.  Now there is proof.  Wonder how the anti-immigration puppets are going to handle it?  Greene has helped to promote this scam.

 

Alan Keyes, Declaration Alliance (You know who he is)

William Green, RightMarch.com  I still have very little on Green(e).  I have been digging for weeks and can find very little.

 

Richard A. Viguerie, Conservative HQ.com.  Note that Viguerie is the co-founder of the Moral Majority and is extremely anti-Bush.   Vaguerie is featured in today's Pink Flamingo.  I think we are going to find Vaguerie and Greene are as much manipulators and puppeteers as Tanton.

 

This is eye-opening expose on the minutemen, And more information about their problems.  Someone I know is quoted in this article, and as I know this person to be honest and above reproach, I'll take his word for things. 

 

Chris Simcox:  Profile.   And for those who have wondered how on earth Sean Hannity could have been conned into the whole Minuteman scam, just check this out!     Seems like the Minuteman project’s PR person  is a friend of Hannity’s.  Explains everything.  Scary, isn’t it when a trusted ‘conservative’ newsman loses his objectivity.  This is one of the few profiles of Simcox.  It is very revealing.  as is this one 

Here is another revealing piece about Simcox. 

 

Well the minuteman kaka has hit the fan!  The Washington Times has picked up the missing funds scam!  You read it here weeks ago!  "...A growing number of Minuteman Civil Defense Corps leaders and volunteers are questioning the whereabouts of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars in donations collected in the past 15 months, challenging the organization's leadership over financial accountability.     Many of the group's most active members say they have no idea how much money has been collected as part of its effort to stop illegal entry -- primarily along the U.S.-Mexico border, what it has been spent on or why it has been funneled through a Virginia-based charity headed by conservative Alan Keyes. Several of the group's top lieutenants have either quit or are threatening to do so, saying requests to Minuteman President Chris Simcox for a financial accounting have been ignored..."  I've been discussing the connection with Alan Keyes for weeks also...but does anyone listen....noooo......!  Wonder what Hannity is going to do now?  "...Mr. Simcox, in an interview last week with The Washington Times, estimated that about $1.6 million in donations have been collected, all of it handled through the Herndon-based Declaration Alliance, founded and chaired by Mr. Keyes. He said the donations, solicited on the group's Web site and during cross-country appearances, included $1 million directly to MCDC and $600,000 for a fence on the U.S.-Mexico border.
    But Mr. Simcox's numbers could not be independently verified, including claims in a 3,961-word statement issued after the interview that he spent $160,000 on "our last two monthlong border-watch operations."
    The Minuteman organization has not made any financial statements or fundraising records public since its April 2005 creation. It also has sought and received extensions of its federal reporting requirements and has not given the Minuteman leadership, its volunteers or donors any official accounting. A financial statement promised to The Times by Mr. Simcox for May was never delivered...."    I kept telling you about the Keyes connection - and where does William Greene fit in?  "...Several other Minuteman members question why Mr. Keyes' organization is involved in collecting MCDC donations, saying donations to the movement should be handled by the Minuteman leadership, who could be directly responsible for it.
    Mr. Keyes has financially endorsed and supported the Minuteman organization as programs of Declaration Alliance and the Declaration Foundation, another Virginia-based charitable organization that he heads. He accused internal MCDC critics of being "decidedly racist and anti-Semitic," saying they had been removed as members of the Minuteman organization.
    "I personally applaud Chris Simcox for his diligent adherence to a rigorous standard that weeds out bigots from the upstanding, patriotic mainstream Americans who participate in the Minuteman citizens' border watch effort that I am proud to support," he said.
    Mr. Keyes said that MCDC is in the process of applying to the IRS for nonprofit status and that those responsible are "adhering to all relevant federal regulations." He called concerns over finances and accountability "groundless," saying they were being "bandied about by members of anti-immigrant and racialist groups, and other unsavory fringe elements attempting to hijack the border security debate to further their individual agendas."
    He also said Declaration Alliance's involvement with the Minuteman organization is based on his belief that border security is a fundamental issue affecting national security, sovereignty and public safety.
    "I have wished to do all in my power to assist the Minutemen's growth into a national civic movement as quickly as possible — as the public exposure of the lawless state of our southern border is a matter of utmost urgency," he said, adding that his "organizational team has an established history of effective issues advocacy, grass-roots activism, political campaigning, financial accountability, regulatory compliance and fundraising...."

It is so obvious the House is under the complete control of Tanton backed immigration organizations it is pathetic. 

The truth about Islamic moral superority and honor killings.

Morris on misunderestimating the Prez.   And I guess Rudy really is the frontrunner!  

Neo-cons are ticked with GWB over foreign policy.  I keep asking, what is a neo-con aside from an excuse to be intellectually superior and stand for nothing?   Or should we just let W be W?

Bonds may be indicted tomorrow - tomorrow - tomorrow - is only a day away!

A wierd fish tale!   And the girl who was raised by dogs.

John Thune, traitor Republican! This is definately not good.  "Freshman Sen. John Thune, the Republican hero two years ago for ousting the Senate Democratic leader, said Wednesday that if he were running this year, he'd distance himself from President Bush and his agenda. In 2004, the White House political operation recruited Thune to challenge Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle. He dealt the Democratic Party a major blow, edging Daschle in South Dakota as Bush captured a second term. Thune, a conservative who rarely breaks with the GOP or Bush, said Wednesday that if he were up for re-election this year, he'd adopt a different strategy. "If I were running in the state this year, you obviously don't embrace the president and his agenda," Thune told reporters at the National Press Club. He said the Iraq war is Bush's biggest problem..." And I was pleased this joker was elected.
