Illegal Immigration Watch: Watch Illegal Aliens Cross From Mexico into the United States on the Internet
A US Border Patrol officer patrols the fence at the US-Mexico border near Nogales, Arizona. The United States has begun to roll out the first of up to 6,000 National Guard troops on the Mexican border in a bid to reduce illegal immigration, the US Border Patrol chief said.
BBC: Web users to ‘patrol’ US border
A US state is to enlist web users in its fight against illegal immigration by offering live surveillance footage of the Mexican border on the internet.
The plan will allow web users worldwide to watch Texas’ border with Mexico and phone the authorities if they spot any apparently illegal crossings.
Texas Governor Rick Perry said the cameras would focus on “hot-spots and common routes” used to enter the US.
The Texas governor announced his plans for streaming the border surveillance camera footage over the internet at a meeting of police officials on Thursday.
“A stronger border is what Americans want and it’s what our security demands and that is what Texas is going to deliver,” Mr Perry said.
The cameras will cost $5m (£2.7m) to install and will be trained on sections of the 1,000-mile (1,600km) border known to be favoured by illegal immigrants.
Web users who spot an apparently illegal crossing will be able to alert the authorities by telephoning a number free of charge.
The deployment of the National Guard and this surveillance plan cannot happen soon enough.
It is about DAMN time.
Stay tuned…….

President 2008 Watch: Al Gore Says He is OUT
US President George W. Bush’s administration is a “renegade band of right-wing extremists”, former US vice president Al Gore, said in an interview with a British newspaper.
ASSociated Press: Gore says don’t count on a 2008 run
Al Gore, the Democrats’ nominee for the White House in 2000, says he has all but ruled out running for president in 2008, saying the best use of his time is to educate people about global warming.
“I haven’t made a Sherman statement, but that’s not an effort to hold the door open. It’s more the internal shifting of gears,” said Gore, referring to Civil War-era general William Tecumseh Sherman. “I can’t imagine any circumstances in which I would become a candidate again. I’ve found other ways to serve. I’m enjoying them.”
“I honestly believe that the highest and best use of my skills and experience is to try to change the minds of people in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world about this planetary emergency that we simply have to confront,” Gore said.
“I have no plans to be a candidate for president again,” he said. “I don’t expect to ever be a candidate for president again. I haven’t made a so-called Sherman statement, because it just seems unnecessary, kind of odd to do that.”
Hillary Clinton is relieved.
The LEFT is disappointed.
Flap is ambivalent because Al Gore is a LOSER.

Canada Terrorism Watch: Toronto Mosque Vandalized
The International Muslims Organization of Toronto mosque, located on Rexdale Boulevard in northwest Toronto, was vandalized on the weekend.
Reuters: Toronto mosque vandalized after 17 arrests
Vandals smashed windows of a Toronto mosque after a weekend police sweep that netted 17 suspected al Qaeda sympathizers accused of plotting bomb attacks, and Canadian Muslims expressed fear on Sunday that a backlash had begun.
“Numerous windows were smashed” at the mosque either late Saturday or early on Sunday and the incident was being investigated, a police official said in an interview.
A second official said he had no information on whether there was a link between the vandalism and the arrests.
Mohammad Alam, the president Islamic Foundation of Toronto, said the incident may be the beginning of religiously motivated reprisals against the country’s Muslim population, estimated at more than 600,000.
While he said he backed the government’s efforts at stamping out terrorism, Alam noted that nothing has been proven thus far in the case, which has gripped the country.
“Like everybody knows, this is so far all allegation,” Alam said. “To us, it doesn’t matter what religion they belong to — if they’re a terrorist, they’re a terrorist, they should be punished according to the law.”
Vandalism of a mosque and the 17 arrested have not even been convicted of ANYTHING.
Where is the tolerance? Where are Intternational Human Rights Organizations when you need them?
And now Canada will want their own Gitmo, no?
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is also wary of reaction to the arrests. However, Acting Sgt. Michele Paradis said on Sunday “this isn’t about religion or ethnic groups. This is about criminal behavior.”
Canada and the West are involved in a Global War on Terror against radical islamo-fascists who want to impose their Muslim theocracy.
Will this be a wake-up call for Canada?
Perhaps…….
A group of women identified as relatives of some of the men arrested last night on terrorism charges wait to be let in to the Brampton courthouse Saturday, June 3, 2006.

Iran Nuclear Watch: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Threatens Oil Disruption
ranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivers a speech on the 17th anniversary of death of the late revolutionary founder Ayatollah Khomeini, in his mausoleum just outside Tehran, Iran, Sunday, June 4, 2006. Khamenei, warned Sunday that energy supplies from the Gulf region would be disrupted if Iran came under attack from the United States and insisted his country would not give up the right to produce nuclear fuel.
ASSociated Press: Iran’s leader warns of disruption in oil
Iran’s top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned Sunday that oil shipments from the Gulf region would be disrupted if the United States attacked his nation, but his threat was dismissed by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Khamenei also insisted in a speech broadcast live on state-run radio that Tehran will not give up its right to produce nuclear fuel. He added that Iran is not seeking a nuclear bomb as the West suspects.
“If you make any mistake (invade Iran), definitely shipment of energy from this region will be seriously jeopardized. You have to know this,” Khamenei said.
He added that if there was a disruption, the United States and its allies could not secure all the oil shipments that transit close to Iran’s coast. Much of the world’s oil supply passes through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which links the Gulf to the Indian Ocean and separates Iran from the Arabian Peninsula.
“You will never be able to protect energy supply in this region. You will not be able to do it,” he said, addressing the West.
Iran continues to say NO to the Big 6 plan. But, did the United States REALLY expect them to accept the condition of a halt of uranium enrichment?
NOPE
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s gambit has trapped Iran in a diplomatic hole. The United States has gained diplomatic cover for its Iran anti-nuke position at NO cost. Iran, when it rejects the Big 6 proposal will appear to be abrogating international will – after all even the United States is willing to negotiate.
If Iran agrees to the Big 6 proposal, the United States will have won a major diplomatic victory and uranium enrichment in Iran will be severly limited – and only for peaceful purposes.
Rice told “Fox News Sunday” that “we shouldn’t place too much emphasis on a threat of this kind” because Iran also has an interest in protecting its major source of revenues.
“What we should place emphasis on is Iran’s opportunity to find a way out of this impasse,” Rice said.
Condi has outmaneuvered Ahamdinejad and the Mullahs.
Iran will bluster for a few days, the Big 6 proposal will be made public (leaked), Iran will reject it and there will be a UNSC referral.
