U.S. Mexican border: Attention Concerned Citizens

By Michael Webster: Syndicated Investigative Reporter. May 6, 2010, at 12:01 PM PDT
 

The border between Mexico and the United States spans four U.S. states, six Mexican states, and has over twenty commercial railroad crossings.

According to the Concerned Citizens they want to alert you to a new citizen activist opportunity to help observe and report the daily invasion across our southern border with Mexico.
This is not a Minuteman or extremist group sponsored event - just a call to action by a group of "Concerned Citizens".
If you and or your group is interested you can contact them through e-mail: wibcom@aol.com
Concerned Citizens report that DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and the other race baiting, ethnocentric anarchists want the people of America to believe the border is under "operational control". Nothing could be further from the truth says an organizer with the new group of "Concerned Citizens" and they say they are ready to deploy, to video tape and educate Americans about the real threat to National Security and our public safety.

"Concerned Citizens" want a full blown showing of people who can come out and enjoy our federal lands. This will be people coming together to help AZ Governor Jan Brewer and the people of Arizona to bring attention to the need for National Guard on our southern border.

The group is in support of Jan Brewer signing SB1070 and say they want to help educate the public. they say "It's time to bring back the" Minuteman Type Lines"
The group points out that there are 30 miles of area in a straight line that they want to cover. Which make it perfect for a "Line"
What action?  They say that there propose is doing what they do best..... "DETERRENCE BY PRESENCE"

They intend to kick off the program ASAP and operate it for at least 2-3 weeks.
The locations of deployment is: Interstate 8, 45 miles south of downtown Phoenix
where they expect to place multiple base camps at major choke points.
To all Concerned Citizens who may be interested in participating, or if you got an invite to the I-8 opp or have committed to getting involved you need to be clear on a few things, according to organizers.
 
1. This "IS NOT" a Simcox/MCDC,PBA,BPOX or any of the many other groups event!! Those groups/people were only
    asked to use there contact lists to get the word out, PERIOD!!
Leave the politics at home.....
 
2. This I-8 corridor is very active and "VERY DANGEROUS", there is a very good chance you will see "ARMED DRUG LOADS"!!
    This opp "IS NOT" for 1st timers,we expect you to be ready and at the top of your game with all the necessary gear for
    this type of opp and for being self sufficient for desert camping!
 
3. With that said, the biggest thing we can do on this opp is to be seen by the public on I-8 so we will post on every mile
    marker (that's were all the action is anyway) for a 30 mi. stretch. We will provide maps/intel/phone numbers on site as
    needed, there should be 2 vehicles & 4 people min. per mi. marker for safety.
 
 
To the Concerned Citizens that have already committed to working working I-8 Thank You for supporting Arizona.
 
 We will be getting kicked off on the 15th and run as long as we have people.
 
Location will be given after you confirm that you are still interested, I had over three hundred e-mails sorry it took so long to back to you all.
 
GOD BLESS YOU ALL........

"Concerned Citizens" continue to do the job the Federal Government won't do by securing the border south of Phoenix along Interstate 8. Let's show them how it COULD be done if Congress put Troops on the border.

How do we do that? Detect report & observe. Eyes and ears. Local law enforcement in the area "gets it". This area is extremely active.  No apprehensions, citizen's arrests or high speed chases on I-8 (nothing wrong with "leaving the light on" for them at night).

The area south of Interstate 8 between Gila Bend (Junction 85 & I-8) and Casa Grande (Junction I-8 & I-10) is a major smuggling corridor.....drugs, IAs, weapons..... We've seen it all. This is approximately a 60 mile stretch, but not all that distance is active with smuggling.  The traffic comes up through the Tohono D' O'dham Reservation day and night.
The fact that load vehicles use I-8 to enter this area, pick up their loads and leave the area makes them vulnerable to detection.  Load areas on I-8 are typically one of the following:  dirt roads, major washes and/or mile markers. Mile markers are used a "waypoints" by the load vehicles, so this also makes them vulnerable to detection.

Bottom line, if we had enough dedicated individuals "camped out" on the entire known active load up points on I-8, we could effectively shut this area down.  A lot of recon has been completed in this area so we know this is doable.... just a matter of enough dedicated individuals.

This IS a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and is potentially very dangerous so participating individuals who need to be prepared to defend themselves.

This is just one group's idea of something to do to make a difference and make a statement. Pass this around and see what interest there is in doing something like this

do red kites or buzzards go in water?

I was at a reservoir at 6.30 am today, a place where buzzards are found and red kites (of which i have seen one) have been reintroduced. A bird that looked like a grebe was standing by the water, and even through binoculars i couldn't quite make it out. Eventually, i saw another that looked similar, swimming out of the water. Once on shore it simply stood, statuesque, wings outspread, like it was guarding its territory. after about 10 mins both swam off.
i'm not sure a grebe would stand up out of the water in such a pose, and surely these cannot have been kites...can they?

that may have been a double-crested cormorant. they are often seen sunning themselves. their wings are not waterproof like ducks and most other waterfowl
