Neo nazis rally against immigrants: counter protestors chase them off


If the white supremacists want to get rid of all non whites from the Southeastern USA, they are going to need a few more people and a bit more courage.

This is what the LA Times reports: "A rally by 40 members of a group calling itself the National Socialist Movement drew hundreds of counter-protesters from throughout the region. In the hours leading up to the rally, where members called for the removal of all nonwhites from America's southwest, counter-protesters scuffled with people perceived to be sympathizing with the white supremacists' message."

But the best part, in my opinion, is this part: "At the end of the rally, after 2:30 p.m., police escorted the white supremacists to the criminal courts building parking lot to get in their vehicles. However, one car failed to start. A crowd of counter-demonstrators ran to the lot and began hurling rocks and bottles into the parking lot's southwest corner, hitting cars and shattering glass. As some of the white supremacists held shields emblazoned with swastikas over their heads to protect them from the projectiles, others attempted to jump-start the car".

So they basically got their racist asses kicked out and they had to be escorted out. I've been to such rallies and I've seen them. Full of bigotry, hatred, and totally cowardly, dangerous but sneaky. They should remember that we don't live in Nazi Germany and aren't going to let them intimidate us.

March 21: To Washington for Immigration Reform

I'll be there tomorrow and Sunday. I'll march with those who believe the people deserve a bit of dignity and the right to come out of the shadows. I'll also be reporting for El molino Online. But as I dust off my marching boots, let my voice join those reminding President Barack Obama some of the words that inspired many (including this blogger) to support him.

It was 7 years ago that US invaded Iraq

I remember as if it were yesterday. I remember how I told everyone I knew, and even people on the streets, how wrong it was. I got in fights with family members, friends and total unknowns.

They all believed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. I did not. I knew it wasn't so. I knew the embedded press were in bed with the militarists. They told me I believed in conspiracy theories. I spoke out. Marched. Talked endlessly. Lost sleep. And in the end, was unable to change anything and watched how a nasty war started.

I've seen young people come back a third of what they were: physical and emotionally scarred, families broken. Forever. For nothing. Nothing. Nothing other than greed, blindness and the endless pursuit of an imperialistic policy. Seven years, 4800 american lives, 30 thousand wounded, 100,000 iraqis dead, millions of lives destroyed. Almost $800 Billion wasted. What a crime against humanity.

My silence.

First time I've come this way in a while. No I didn't give it up. And no, I didn't stop writing. I've been involved in a similar project, not as personal but highly involving. It's the mother of all blogs, or rather La Mama de todos los blogs. El Molino Online.

Daniel Cohn-Bendit

He still breathes the fire that inspired me years and years ago

How the pharmaceutical lobby bought Bushama

Here it is.

An asshole under a sheet


The difference between a member of the Ku Klux Klan and a porn poser is one's an asshole over a sheet the other one an asshole under a sheet. Mother Jones has a great photo esssay on Ms Ruth, who sews robes for the KKK. They are hand-made, measured, fitted and then blessed. Individually. And they aint cheap
A red satin outfit for an Exalted Cyclops, the head of a local chapter, costs about $140.
Exalted Cyclops, wow that's a scary-sounding name!
