Following the money: IIMM

Monday’s Illegal Immigrant Mayday March was pretty well organized, had food available, had printed signs, had traffic monitors, had speakers, had everything you would want for a demonstration in other words. It was as far from spontaneous as you can get, and appears to have been done better than the Democratic National Party’s get-out-the-vote drives last election. It was massive in all key liberal cities, and somewhat non-existant in most others.

In earlier articles I pointed out that the organizers were UFPJ and Answer, associating with Nation of Aztlan, Mecha, and others… but they couldn’t have been the wellspring for this.

None of those groups has the cash on hand that this would have taken, you can tell that by the faded pamplets they try to sell you at their book-fairs. These groups are usually cash-strapped, and poorly organized. So, where did the money come from? I mean, isn’t it always about the money? If you follow the money you find an enemy of America. If someone takes this task on it could be one of the best investigative journalism stories of the year.

My suspects are :

  • Hugo Chavez and other communists
  • The DNC
  • George Soros

Pretty much in that order as to likelihood.

 I have a day-job, but is anyone else out there willing to find out who really paid the bills for this?

Update : Michelle Malkins will be on Fox and Friends this morning to cover Reconquista 101 if you can catch it.

    At the Colorado Springs, CO rally the Coalition for Peace and Justice had a prominent role. Perhaps they contributed cash to the event. Maybe you catagorize them in the “other communists” category.

    Any local group with “peace and justice” in their name is likely affiliated with the umbrella group, United For Peace & Justice, or UFPJ.
    You can probably drill down at this site and find the local group you reference: http://www.unitedforpeace.org/

  3. Michelle,
    It would take a substantial amount of money to underwrite successive demonstrations and a boycott of the magnitude that was seen in the U.S. And future demonstrations are planned. That kind of money could only be available from the Mexican government, which actually proposed a resolution supporting the demonstrations, and/or drug cartels which have a substantial presence in Mexican politics. No doubt the money was laundered — probably several times — to eliminate paper trails.
    Both entities would benefit greatly by an undermining of the social fabric within the U.S. Was Pres. Fox aware of this financial support by his government? If so, this meddling by a foreign government in U.S. internal affairs would be extremely troublesome. And was this financial support a collusion between the Mexican government and the cartels?
    It’s also worth noting that Mexico’s infrastructure — both politically and economically — is extremely fragile. This was correctly noted recently in a Washington Post editorial. Mexico, and the cartels, have nothing to lose and everything to gain by inciting social unrest in the U.S., and to create a powerful (Spanish) voting bloc that would sway U.S. elections.
    It’s becoming more apparent — as you correctly point out — that this is more than a grass roots movement of Mexican pride. The answer lies in Mexico City and also south of Mexico’s border. At one point these questions were nothing more than laughable conspiracy theories. But evidence continues to mount and I’m now starting take these theories seriously.
    Also, there’s talk on the street here that once Congress grants amnesty to illegal aliens there will be additional boycotts nationwide by predominately Spanish workers demanding higher wages and more benefits. It seems a certainty amnesty will happen, as too many members of Congress are worried about the Spanish vote and are pushing for a “compromise” tilted toward amnesty.

    Robert, thanks for the comment, however since your comment appears intended for Michelle Malkin, I passed it to her through the email link on her page.

    I am a distant backwater in the blogosphere, so it’s doubtful she would see it here. Michelle’s two sites are: http://hotair.com and http://michellemalkin.com
