About thirty percent of our year-end readers in 2006 were from outside the USA: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates . . . and Hollywood! Welcome one and all.
December will go down as our busiest month yet, topping the page hits of June 2006 when we focused on Operation Jump Start. Our annual total of site visits doubled in 2006, compared to 2005 (to which we add the standard disclaimer, that the numbers are not anywhere near mass-media quantities, but then again, we don’t try to act much like mass media quality, do we?)–gm (Dec. 27-31)

It is an excellent report about the abduction of the Ibrahim family presented by reporter Ken Kalthoff in Richardson, aired on the five o’clock news, December 6. Ahmad Ibrahim only has one reservation: “they say it’s an upscale neighborhood, but it’s only an apartment complex.”

And apologies to Ken and crew from your Editor, for saying that no other reports on these abductions had been done.–gm (Dec. 29)

Dear Friends:
The words below came to Ramsey in his dreams, as do most
of his writings. He is regaining his strength, and believes
that his life has been renewed. Ramsey asked that I share
the enclosed, and submit the words as shown below.–Irma Muniz

Soy 21st Century Mexicano

It’s so beautiful! Our ancient stone masons were the greatest
architects! They left us a foundation upon which we are building our
temple in Aztlan. Just being "tribe" (love, comradeship, equality), we
are a cultured people of men and women like yourselves; we are the
living house of the temple. We are creating an awareness in Aztlan that
is so healthy that we are a "life force." We shall always be good
health for one another. The information (cultural and spiritual) that I
am submitting to you, mi raza, is giving us a clarity our builders
possessed in the time of Aztlan. I know that one day…one morning…their
children and we, the descendants, would also do our homework and create
Mexicayotl (consciousness) and learn their craft and use it not only to
rebuild the temple, but also to rebuild ourselves
spiritually.
We are the most exquisite living art – an art form that is
Nahuatl. We not only sound beautiful, we are beautiful! The beauty and
intensity of our love for one another is equal to that divine love that
our ancient stone masons shared with our people during the dawn of our
civilization.

Now we are doing our homework and learning the connection
between the stone masons of Aztlan and the free and accepted
Mexicans of the present day, so as to understand perfectly the process
by which our origin changed from an operative art to a speculative
science. And so, we must attentively study and thoroughly digest these
ancient records of our forefathers.

The Mexican codices are essential to our studies. We must
acquire them because we know that they refer historically to the
regeneration of our lives! Nosotros somos la fuerza de vida nueva de
"los masons de una vez – en un tiempo de Aztlan." We must learn how to
rebuild ourselves step by step – degree by degree. We must not reject
the signs. Every keystone they placed in the center of every arch shall
"spiritually" secure firmness
and stability in our lives. Every cornerstone they laid with
impressive ceremonies were done in our honor; and since
the cornerstone is the stone which lies at the corner of the foundation
of an edifice.

We are the living permanence and durability of the cornerstone of Aztlan – well-formed, true and everlasting.

Mexi (me-sheek) is the master builder of souls, and in
Torquemada’s Monarquia Indiana we learn that Mexi gave us his name,
proclaiming us to be materially worthy of the spiritual building of
eternal life – fitted as living stones for that house not made with
hands -eternal in Tamoanchan.

Tezcatlipoca, Mexi’s archangel, is the chief corner-stone and in
Mexicayotl (la masoneria Mexicano) symbolism, the "chief
cornerstone" signifies a true Mexican. Tezcatlipoca is our
"mirror of destiny," the mirror of understanding and the imagination.

No soy Latino/Americano
No soy Mexicano/Americano
No soy Chicano
No soy Hispanico/Latino
Soy 21st Century Mexicano!!!
Watch me rise!!!

This is me…this is my life…this is my destiny!!!

Here’s a clip from Mark Levin’s argument posted at the Texaminer.

“Thus,

Gates’ new policy is entirely consistent with the Supreme Court’s rulings. In the University of

Michigan Law School case, the Law School defined “critical mass” in lower court proceedings as at

least ten percent combined black and Hispanic students. Texas A&M currently exceeds this threshold,

with 11 percent of its students being either black or Hispanic. While many wish this number were

higher, it is unclear whether A&M can resort to racial preferences under the Michigan decisions because

it has already achieved a “critical mass” using colorblind policies.” [Mark Levin texaminer.com

1/7/2004]

But Levin is wrong in fact and in principle. (see more below) Levin seems

to have overlooked the following sentence from Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s majority opinion in

Grutter vs. Bollinger [p. 3 (c)]:

“Enrolling a “critical mass” of minority students

simply to assure some specified percentage of a particular group merely because of its race or ethnic

origin would be patently unconstitutional.”

Justice O’Connor goes on to

aruge:

“But the Law School defines its critical mass concept by reference to the

substantial, important, and laudable educational benefits that diversity
is designed to produce,

including cross-racial understanding and the breaking down of racial stereotypes. The Law School’s

claim is further bolstered by numerous expert studies and reports showing that such diversity promotes

learning outcomes and better prepares students for an increasingly diverse workforce, for society, and

for the legal profession. Major American businesses have made clear that the skills needed in today’s

increasingly global marketplace can only be developed through exposure to widely diverse people,

cultures, ideas, and viewpoints. High-ranking retired officers and civilian military leaders assert

that a highly qualified, racially diverse officer corps is essential to national security. Moreover,

because universities, and in particular, law schools, represent the training ground for a large number

of the Nation’s leaders, Sweatt v. Painter, 339 U. S. 629, 634, the path to leadership must be visibly

open to talented and qualified individuals of every race and ethnicity. Thus, the Law School has a

compelling interest in attaining a diverse student body. 15–21.

Companies filed briefs in defense of affirmative action before the Supreme Court.

So we

are pleased that Mr. Levin has pointed us in the direction of “critical mass” because, if the term is

to be used according to contemporary constitutional standards, it requires an intelligent discussion of

the educational value of diversity at the College Station campus. This discussion is so far not in

evidence.

But furthermore, Levin ignores also the historical situation of Texas higher

education, which is now pursuing desegregation under federal supervision.

Levin is wrong

about “critical mass” and he fails to consider “de-segregation”. But he’s popular with the

conservative crowd, which I am tempted to call reactionary and

racist.
