Southern California gang members indicted in racist shootings

A Latino street gang waged a racist campaign to eliminate black people from a Southern California city through attempted murders and other crimes, according to federal racketeering indictments unsealed Thursday.

Five indictments charged a total of 147 members and associates of the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens gang, and federal and local agencies arrested 63 of them by early Thursday, U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien said at a news conference. He called it "the largest gang takedown in United States history" but did not elaborate.

The indictments detail attempted murder, kidnapping, firearms, narcotics and other charges related to attacks by the gang, which is predominantly Latino and mainly operates in Hawaiian Gardens, a city of about 15,000 in southeastern Los Angeles County.

"(Varrio Hawaiian Gardens) gang members take pride in their racism and often refer to the VHG Gang as the `Hate Gang,"' the main indictment states. "VHG gang members have expressed a desire to rid the city of Hawaiian Gardens of all African-Americans and have engaged in a systematic effort to achieve that result by perpetrating crimes against African-Americans."

The indictment alleges a string of attacks on black residents, including a shooting into a home with eight people inside. The indictment does not say if anyone was hit. In another instance, two gang members allegedly chased a black man, yelled a racist epithet at him and then beat him with a garden rake. The same man was later repeatedly stabbed by two gang members, according to the indictment, which charges them with his attempted murder.

According to 2000 census data, the latest available, Hawaiian Gardens was roughly 73 percent Hispanic and 4 percent black. The indictments mark at least the second time in less than two years that federal authorities have accused Latino gang members of attacking black residents because of their race. Local officials have tried to downplay racial tensions.

The investigation of the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens gang began in June 2005 after the murder of Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Luis Gerardo "Jerry" Ortiz. Jose Luis Orozco, a member of the gang, was sentenced to death in 2007 for the killing.

Ortiz, 35, died as he searched for Orozco, who had shot and wounded a man while he did yard work. Orozco was later found guilty of attempted murder in that case.

"Following the murder of Deputy Ortiz, the Sheriff's Department sought federal and local assistance to help destroy the Hawaiian Gardens gang," O'Brien said.

4 US citizens found beaten, strangled in Mexican border city of Tijuana

SAN DIEGO -- The bodies of four young people who reportedly crossed the border to party have been found strangled, beaten and stabbed to death in Tijuana. The bodies of two men and two women were found early Saturday morning, according to a news release from the Tijuana State Attorney's Office.

Their deaths were not reported earlier because they were under investigation, according to Fermin Gomez, an assistant state prosecutor in Baja California. Tijuana authorities have identified the victims as Brianna Hernandez Aguilera, 19; Carmen Jimenez Ramos Chavez, 20; Oscar Jorge Garcia Cota, 23; and Luis Antonio Games, Jr., 21. Hernandez and Ramos were graduates of Chula Vista High School. Cota attended Southwest High School, and Games Jr. is a Mexican national.

The bodies showed signs of torture and were wrapped in blankets, according to Tijuana authorities. Three of the victims had been strangled, and one had suffered head wounds, said a source in the Attorney General's Office. All four were covered with blankets inside a 1995 burgundy van with California license plates in a residential community known as Fraccionamiento Valle Dorado in eastern Tijuana. The women had been reported missing by their parents, said Arsenault, the Chula Vista lieutenant.

The group reportedly traveled to Tijuana to party in the popular tourist destination Avenida Revolucion. Authorities are said to be investigating whether the killings could be connected to a relationship between one of the victims and someone serving prison time in the U.S. on drug charges. Relatives of one of the victims told Chula Vista police that they knew drug traffickers, and that one of the women had cocaine in her system. Those reports were under investigation.

Aztlan: The Great Lie!

For some Latinos, the concept of Aztlán as the place of origin of the pre-Columbian Mexican civilization has become a symbol for various Mexican nationalist and indigenous movements. The name Aztlán was first taken up by a group of Chicano independence activists led by Oscar Zeta Acosta during the Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Despite evidence that Aztlán is merely a mythical region, many racist Latinos and Aztlán separatists are promoting Aztlán as a real socio-political movement.

Racist Latinos and Aztlán separatists are in desperate need of an education. Unfortunately, many ethnocentric groups like MeCHA, LULAC, La Raza, MALDEF, as well race-baiting purveyors in schools and universities fail to address Aztlán's mythical status. Instead, they equate the Palestinian/Israeli conflict to that of the US-Mexican border. Prior to the Spaniards settling the Americas, much of the mythical region of Aztlán was sparsely populated with indigenous Indians. The USA rightly acquired the lower 48 in the 18th century. Any dispute of sovereignty needs to be taken to the UN, which is what some pro-Aztlánists aim to do.

Fast forward to the modern world. The great Aztlán lie is that, although they claim to want their homeland, their true motive has nothing to do with land and territory! They are solely trying to mooch off infrastructure, social programs, and tax dollars afforded by the US government. Whole towns and villages in Mexico are becoming ghost towns because of mass illegal immigration into the USA. The wealth of land and natural resources in Mexico and Latin America is sufficiently abundant. Japan, England, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, South Korea are all smaller in territory but out perform Mexico on the international market. Aztlán isn't really about establishing a mythical homeland, but instead it's about trying to feed off the resources provided by the US government, NOT their respective governments.

If Tijuana, East Los Angeles, Nuevo Laredo, Ciudad Juarez, etc. are any indication of what happens when cities are controlled by racist Latinos and Aztlán separatists, it's in the best interest of the USA to remain under US control. We Latinos, at La Raza Racism, know very well that Aztlán separatists care nothing about the Asians, blacks, Arabs, and whites. They only care about their own ethno-centric ideology, and no one else!

The greatest irony demonstrated by racist Latinos and Aztlán separatists is that their only languages of discourse (Spanish and English) are NOT even indigenous to the Americas. The next time you meet up with Aztlán separatists, be sure to ask them where the English and Spanish languages originated.

A Murder Suspect Who Fled to Mexico is Caught

On January 6, 2009, Wilshire Area Homicide Detectives arrested 3 of the 4 suspects involved in the murder of Ysidro Martinez. The victim, a 17-year-old male Hispanic and resident of Los Angeles, was confronted by the 4 suspects. On December 12, 2008, 23-year-old Rico Cruz of Los Angeles, 18-year-old Mario Cruz of Los Angeles, 21-year-old Rolando Garcia of Los Angeles, were all charged with murder and were being held on 1 million dollars bail. The outstanding suspect, 23-year-old Jaime Aquino who was believed to be the stabber, fled to Mexico after the crime. Homicide investigators tracked Jaime Aquino down in Mexico and requested that he return. On January 9, 2009, Aquino surrendered himself to Border Patrol Agents in San Ysidro, California, where Homicide Detectives were waiting. Aquino was arrested for murder and returned to Los Angeles where he is being held without bail.

One of the questions we have at La Raza Racism is why have the media networks largely ignored this story. The real shame is on all those ethno-centric Latino/Hispanic organizations who are silent on this tragedy. If that 17 year-old were killed by non-hispanics, La Raza racist groups and network media would run this story for a week straight.

Self-Inflicted Poverty by Walter E. Williams, Ph.D.

The following article is by Walter E. Williams, Ph.D. (African American). La Raza Racism has taken to liberty of modifying this piece.

Did you learn that the United States is rich because we have bountiful natural resources? This is just another distortion by the multi-cultural Left. Africa and South America are probably the richest continents in natural resources, but are home to the world's most miserably poor people. On the other hand, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Switzerland, and England are poor in natural resources, but their people are among the world's richest.

More than likely your liberal college professor taught that the legacy of colonialism explains Third World poverty. That's another lie! Canada was a colony. So were Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. In fact, the richest country in the world, the United States, was once a colony. By contrast, Ethiopia, Liberia, Tibet, Sik kim, Nepal and Bhutan were never colonies, but they are home to the world's poorest people.

There's no complete explanation for why some countries are affluent while others are poor, but there are some leads. Rank countries along a continuum according to whether they are closer to being free-market economies or whether they're closer to socialist or planned economies, a redistribution of wealth based on race, liberal guilt, and entitlements. Then, rank countries by per-capita income. We will find a general, not perfect, pattern whereby those countries having a larger free-market sector produce a higher standard of living for their citizens than those at the socialist end of the continuum.

What can the West do to help? The worst thing is more foreign aid. For the most part, foreign aid is government to government, and as such, it provides the financial resources that allow Latin American and Africa's corrupt regimes to buy military equipment, pay off cronies and continue to oppress their people. It also provides resources for the leaders to set up "retirement" accounts in Swiss banks. Even so-called humanitarian aid in the form of food is often diverted. Blundell reports that Mugabe's thugs rip labels off of wheat and corn shipments from the United States and Europe and re-label them as benevolence from the dictator.

Most of what Africa and Latin America needs, the West cannot give, and that's the rule of law, private-property rights, an independent judiciary and limited government. The real question now is whether biased college professors will include this position in their lectures and textbooks.
