In the depths of the southern desert, 118 miles north of the Mexican Border
lies the town of Tombstone Arizona where possibly another hoax is working its
way into our future. Tombstone, "the town that is too tough to die,"
was the scene of The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, in October of 1881.
Today the town claims a population of 1,504 people, that are soon to host an
incoming crowd of "Minutemen" that claim to have over a thousand
volunteers, whose numbers continue to expand with every passing day.

The purpose for this gathering is to assist the U.S. Border patrol in
apprehending illegal aliens that are crossing into the United States from
Mexico. This begins on April 1, 2005 and is supposed to last a month. In some
circles this is seen as a set-up for an attack upon this country, or as cover
for near-term international events. This may look like a farce, but assuredly
there is a potential for serious and violent confrontations in this "civic
exercise."
Word of this spread when the publisher of The Tombstone Tumbleweed, announced
that the Minutemen would help the Border Patrol with the job that isn't being
done, of detaining and returning illegals as they come across the border.
Initially only a few "signed up to help" with this effort, then
shortly after - word came from the notorious MS-13 gang that they would show up
on April first to confront the Minutemen.

On 04-01-05, this unholy meeting between very different people will be
joined, and what will flow from that meeting will not be good for anyone
involved, because this is not a schoolyard exercise in civics - this will be
where the politics of the street and the theories of the classroom will come
face to face: at that border which has become increasingly fraught with death.
As news of this event has spread so too has word of new participants, almost
daily. Representatives of many stripes will attend, each with their own issues
to be resolved, and all with something to prove or disprove in the hostile
desert between the border and the town.

No doubt the media will attend this live and unscripted event. President Fox
of Mexico has expressed misgivings, and no doubt the Federales shall be
monitoring events from that side of the border, just as the U.S. Border Patrol
less the 4,000 agents recently fired, will no doubt be on alert on this side of
that fence that prevents only the faint of heart from crossing over.
Inquiries were made of the Arizona Attorney General's office and the governor
of that state. The AG's office suggested that if real trouble occurred the
governor would call out the Arizona National Guard. But the question that no one
will answer is whether the guard is in Arizona or Iraq at the present time. If
there is no national guard to call, then where does that leave the law and order
crowd - if things turn really ugly? What about help from Washington, if the
Guard has been called to fight in some foreign war? Why is the White House not
"worried" about this kind of lawlessness (proudly announced and
obviously against both the law and previous conventions)? Isn't it illegal for
citizens to act as armed law enforcement personnel, when the taxpayers have
provided funding for border guards? How can this not matter to Congress, or to
the US Attorney General, who is the man charged with keeping order in this land?
Yesterday Bush met with Fox and with the Canadian leader in a mini-summit -
where this topic was not specifically raised. Yet it appears that this modern
day shootout will take place.
Much was made of the powers given to our new National Security Czar, so where
is he now, when there is a pre-announced action about to happen on his watch?
The border has always been a sieve and all who buy food here know the reasons
for that laxity - but this raises the whole affair to the level of a national
farce. For all our talk of security, all those airport screeners, all the fear
and paranoia generated by HOMELAND Insecurity - where is all the muscle when the
government is facing heavy-duty opposition. Did George W. inherit the
"wimp" gene from Poppy or is he just willing to ignore this little
"intervention"?
Today came word that large numbers of heavily armed men were seen passing
though, yet there is no mention of any confrontation with the Border Patrol. The
report also mentions that when questioned the detainees appeared not to be able
to speak Spanish: "71 suspected illegal aliens were apprehended; among them
were 53 males of middle-eastern decent. According to a Border Patrol field
agent, the men were suspected to be Iranian or possibly Syrian nationals."
Here is the full report in which it seems that blame for any future violence has
been pre-assigned to probable terrorists from the Middle East.

Given the reports that US forces are now moving into position in the Middle
East, for an attack upon Iran or Syria or both - it would appear all too
convenient to have men from those same countries, just now crossing over into
the US at this precise point in time. If this is a black-ops operation, it is
really sloppy work.

This is either a hoax or some slight of hand intended to focus the attention
of this nation, on a fear that has not shown itself since 911. In seven days
perhaps the players involved in this charade will be much easier to identify -
until then perhaps the most that anyone could wish for - is that this is nothing
but another lie, another misdirection or yet another farce!
