Before the News of Import for 3/25/2013, let’s talk about history and education. In AZ we have La Raza which our anti-colonialist Marxist in chief, Barack Obama supports, and they taught Azlan in Tucson schools until they were stopped by the state government. There are still ongoing lawsuits even after La Raza lost in state Supreme Court, as the lawfare is now going the Federal route with DOJ support. I have below included a link and info about Azlan to which you can Google search the revisionist progressive history propaganda if you so desire. The real history is this. With the Mexican American War, it begins on April 25, 1846. Mexican cavalry attacked a group of U.S. soldiers in disputed land under the command of General Zachary Taylor, killing about a dozen. The Mexican forces then laid siege to an American fort along the Rio Grande. Taylor called in reinforcements, and with the help of superior rifles and artillery, was able to defeat the Mexicans at the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. The fighting was followed by a series of U.S. victories along with U.S. troops led by Gen. Winfield Scott, which landed in Veracruz and took over the city. US forces then began marching toward Mexico City, essentially following the same route that Hernán Cortés followed when he invaded the Aztec empire. The Mexicans resisted at Cerro Gordo and elsewhere, but were bested each time. In September 1847, Scott successfully laid siege to Mexico City’s Chapultepec Castle and won. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory including its capital. Nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico were lost in the fighting. On February 2, 1848, The Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo was signed, later to be ratified by both the U.S. and Mexican congresses. The treaty called for the annexation of the northern portions of Mexico to the United States. In return, the U.S. agreed to pay $15 million to Mexico. Many in Mexico as well as La Raza and other groups believe that America stole the land, which is definitely not the case. The treaty agreed to by both countries gave California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico to the US. Texas then joined the union.

Why is this important? In order to preserve one’s freedom you first have to know your history and be informed. Is there any wonder why over the years history/social studies has been dropped, and anti-American curriculum has been adopted? Chairman Mao said the greatest threat to change is the intellectual. From Mao Zedong who murdered 65 million people to Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and so many others, intellectuals, educators, the educated and clergy were the first to be killed so that change could be brought about. It is not enough to simply kill people, you have to reeducate them. It is this reeducation that causes me such great concern with "Common Core", as it replaces nationalism, patriotism and self-reliance, along with the free market with collectivism, the group is more important than the individual, and borderless existence. In Common Core or Cscope, it is teaches that capitalism, the free market, is a stepping stone for socialism then eventually communism, which is the goal. There are no nations, you are not an American you are a member of the world group. In one lesson Paul Revere was described as a drug smuggler and pimp who was riding his horse to save his drug stash, not just to warn the Colonist that the British were coming. Revere fought the British to save his sex trade and drug business, not because he wanted to save the colonies and gain independence.

To summarize, be informed, do not panic, and be prepared, while trusting in God.

Of Interest:
Miguel Perez , Phoenix Civil Rights Examiner - August 27, 2011: Phoenix-based Nuestros Reconquistos claims that there will be a war very similar to the Civil War fought in the next five years. “La Raza and MEChA have already talked to Latinos in Phoenix and explained that Latinos need to arm themselves for war,” says Nuestros Reconquistos President Manuel Longoria. Cecilia Maldonado of Chicanos Unidos Arizona isn’t hoping for any sort of war, but believes it may be unavoidable. “For generations, our people have prepared us to take back the lands of the Southwest that were stolen from our Mexican ancestors. Because of the bad economy and many racist laws, Latinos will be forced to fight sooner than later,” says Mrs. Maldonado. Latino groups believe they have enough people in states such as California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas to successfully wage a war on the United States. Who’s side will you be on?
