-Caveat Lector-
Is The Chinese Army
Probing Our Southern Flank?
YOWUSA.COM, December 1, 2000
Sandy Gilmore
Bill O�Reilly of Fox News seams to be the only media
heavyweight with an interest in the unprovoked attacks
on INS agents, by Mexican forces from across the
border. What O�Reilly has not been able to report is that
some of those �Mexican� soldiers are, according to
multiple eyewitnesses, Chinese soldiers dressed in
Mexican Army uniforms.
Given that the Panama Canal is now under the control
of Beijing operatives working in conjunction with corrupt
Panamanian officials, the Clinton-Gore administration
has worked feverishly to suppress these many repeated
incidents. But these are not incidents in the political
sense. Rather, they are more likely, carefully planned
and executed military probes of our border defenses by
the People Liberation Army of Communist China.
Mexican Authorities Attack U.S. Border Patrol
Officers
As recently as last October 24, Mexican authorities
were reported to have fired upon United States Border
Patrol officers. That in itself is not uncommon.
The following is the transcript of an interview conducted
on the Fox News Channel�s �The O�Reilly Factor.� The
guest being interviewed is National Border Patrol
Council President, T.J. Bonner.
O'REILLY: In the "Back of the Book" segment tonight: THE
FACTOR continues its investigation of violence
along the Mexican border. We've already documented two
occasions where Mexican authorities shot at American
federal agents. In the first incident, Mexican troops
actually crashed through a fence in Texas, came on
to American soil and shot at two border agents who
were on horseback. Now comes word that in
California more shots have been fired at American
agents, and the story is being kept under wraps.
Joining us now from San Diego is the president of
the National Border Patrol Council, T.J. Bonner. So
tell us, Mr. Bonner, what happened?
T.J. BONNER, PRESIDENT, NATIONAL BORDER PATROL
COUNCIL: On October 24, at just after noon, a U.S.
Border Patrol helicopter clearly marked dropped off
two agents close to the border, obviously on our
side of the border. Shortly after that, these
agents came under fire; at least eight shots were
fired at them by 10 Mexican military troops. The
agents clearly identified themselves as Border
Patrol agents and told the troops that they were in
the United States. The troops nonetheless advanced
into the United States, telling the agents to come
out of the brush. The agents again identified
themselves, told the Mexican troops that they were
in the United States and they needed to go back to
Mexico. When reinforcements started to arrive from
the Border Patrol, the Mexican military got into a
minivan; at least some of them did, and drove off.
O'REILLY: All right, so how many shots were fired at
the U.S. agents?
BONNER: At least eight.
O'REILLY: And nobody was hurt, obviously, right?
BONNER: No, nobody was hurt, thank God.
O'REILLY: OK, investigation, subsequent
investigation revealed what?
BONNER: Well, the U.S. Border Patrol claims they did
an investigation, although we have it on good
authority that there never was an investigation,
that the matter was just swept under the carpet.
O'REILLY: So this is the � this is what happens on
most of these things, they don't want any
international incidents, so when this stuff happens,
they just let it go, right?
BONNER: Right.
O'REILLY: Is that orders from the Justice
Department?
BONNER: I'm not sure where it's coming from. It
could be Justice. It could be State. It could be
coming from as high as the White House.
O'REILLY: Now, the two guys who were � are they
angry, the two guys who were in the brush getting
shot at by the Mexican troops?
BONNER: They're not the only ones who are angry.
All Border Patrol agents are angry, we're angry with
the Mexican government for allowing this to happen,
for letting their troops take potshots at our
agents. We're angry with the U.S. government for
trying to sweep this under the carpet.
O'REILLY: Now, when you hear about reports like
this, what do you, yourself, do as a president of
the union? What do you do?
BONNER: Well, in the last incident, the one in New
Mexico, we wrote to just about everybody that we
could think of asking for a full and complete
investigation. We got back a letter from the
president of the United States that addressed some
water boundary issue; it wasn't even the right
issue. We got back a letter from the head of the
Immigration and Naturalization Service, the
commissioner, responding on behalf of the attorney
general some four months after the fact telling us
that it was all right, that this would never happen
again, and here we are. It happened again.
O'REILLY: All right, so basically, the situation we
have down there from Brownsville to San Diego is you
have U.S. Border Patrol agents on our side being
shot at by Mexican military. Now, we've heard
accusations that the military assists drug runners
across the border and, you know, is actively
involved in the smuggling of narcotics into the
United States. Do you believe that this was what
this was about in this incident?
BONNER: It's hard to say, because we'll never know.
Mexico denies that their troops shot at our people.
Moreover, amazingly, the U.S. Border Patrol says
that the reason they dropped the investigation is
that the question of he said/she said. However, we
have four U.S. Border Patrol agents swearing that
these are the facts. Then we have Mexico denying.
Somehow, in their eyes, this makes for a he said/she
said. We can't sort this out.
O'REILLY: Well, I know who I believe, Mr. Bonner.
In addition, I think know who the millions of people
watching THE FACTOR right now believe. They believe
the border agents. We know this is going on. You
know the tragedy of this: The elite media won't
report on it. You didn't get any national publicity
on this at all, did you?
BONNER: No, we didn't.
O'REILLY: Well, it's a shame. Now, you let us know
when this happens again, or what � you investigate
it yourself. You let us know every step of the way
what happens, and we'll report it to the folks. OK?
BONNER: Great. I appreciate it.
O'REILLY: All right, Mr. Bonner. We'll do
everything we can to help you guys out down there.
The Mexican Authorities May Not Have Been
Alone
In the assault at San Ysidro, CA, the Mexicans allegedly
had some assistance. Scott Gulbransen, a writer for an
Internet-based publication, The Strategic Jungle
Syndicate, reported that men of Asian origin were
witnessed among the attackers. Furthermore, his report
indicated the presence of non-English speaking
Caucasian males.
A skirmish between U.S. Border Patrol agents and
armed soldiers in Mexico has raised several disturbing
questions related to the security of America's borders.
The incident, which occurred on October 24 near the
Otay Mesa border-crossing southeast of San Diego,
has received little attention in the mainstream media but
local law enforcement circles are a buzz at reports that
Mexican soldiers were not the only ones in the area.
Several eyewitness accounts stated soldiers of Asian
and Caucasian origin were also firing from Mexico on
the Border Patrol agents in the unprovoked attack.
A Border Patrol agent, speaking to the Strategic Jungle
Syndicate on the condition of anonymity, stated the
attack was more than Mexican soldiers firing upon what
they thought might be drug dealers. �Everything
happened so fast but I know not all of them were
Mexican nationals,� the agent said. �More than two of
us saw what appeared to be an Asian soldier. I didn't
get a real clean look at his eyes but he certainly looked
Asian to me. The bottom line here is this was planned
and not some random event. The government might not
want to admit that but it's the damn truth.�
The agent also stated several Mexican nationals,
attempting to cross the border illegally, also told of
�chinos,� a slang term in Spanish for Chinese, soldiers
dressed in fatigues. �There were a few people in the
brush trying to get into the United States and after the
shooting ended, they were apprehended and being
processed to return to Mexico,� the Border Patrol agent
said. �Two or three of them were close enough and
said they heard men speaking what they described as
Chinese. They were scared and said they had seen the
men before, including some white men driving military
type vehicles.�
Local law enforcement officials have also confirmed the
movement of unidentified military vehicles. A deputy
with the San Diego County Sheriff's office confirmed
officers have encountered unknown vehicles in and
near the border area. "We're all law enforcement
officers and we talk a lot about what we see," the
deputy with nine years in the department said. "There's
been strange things going on. Even homeowners have
been calling about automatic weapons fire in the
canyons near Otay Mesa. I know my friends with the
San Diego Police Department also hear about it.
There's something going on and most of us feel like
we're not being told everything."
Increased activity along the U.S.-Mexican border has
yielded strange events over the past three months. In
addition to the powerful Mexican drug cartels, and the
ever-profitable smuggling of illegal immigrants to better
working wages in California, many in border towns
report strange activity.
"You know, I've lived here for many years," said
Domingo Sanez of San Ysidro, "but never have I heard
so many strange noises and lots of traffic. I always say
it must be a war because I hear trucks all the time and
they wake me and my wife."
Sanez works as a parking lot attendant near the border
crossing at San Ysidro and lives on the eastern
outskirts of Tijuana. He said many believe there are
things going on in the night but he believes drug cartels
are the culprit.
"There is so much money and they are so powerful," he
said. "I think they are getting ready to go to war with
the Americans. I don't know why but people want those
drugs and it's big money.� Still others feel more
international forces may be working within Mexico.
"You have to sit there and ask yourself why are there
Chinese soldiers in Mexico and why have people
reported seeing other blond soldiers not speaking
English," the Border Patrol agent said. "It scares me to
think some enemy army may be closer than we think.
People out there need to demand the truth and find out
what our government knows."
Keith Weeks, president of NBPCL 1613, said he's not
sure why the Border Patrol has side stepped the issue
and watered down it's story on the incident. "What the
agents told us directly and what the Border Patrol said
in their statement don't match completely," Weeks said
Wednesday. "For whatever reason they're more
concerned about keeping it quiet and we don't know
why."
Weeks said his organization had contacted
Congressman Duncan Hunter about the agent's
concerns and that the congressman was supportive of
their concerns. "Maybe this has something to do with
the election next week," Weeks said. "I can tell you
when the agency called me they told me they were very
disappointed we issued our press release. That's not
right.� Weeks also questioned why highly skilled military
personnel would be stationed on the border directly in
violation of current treaties with the United States.
Weeks was not aware of the eyewitness reports related
to Asian soldiers being part of the group that fired on his
fellow agents. "I'm going to check again with the agents
but I have not heard that yet," he said.
The only official word concerning the incident came
three days after the skirmish from National Border
Patrol Council Local 1613 who called for an
investigation by the U.S. and Mexican governments.
The union represents Border Patrol agents and is a
division of the American Federation Of Government
Employees.
NBPCL 1613 stated the incident was the second
confirmed incident this year in which Border Patrol
Agents have been shot at by what they believe to be
Mexican military. The other occurred on March 14 in
Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
The press release stated not only stray soldiers had
fired upon the agents, but also that two of them had
taken sniper positions as well. The agents identified
themselves in Spanish but the soldiers kept on firing and
pursuing the Americans.
"I don't think they understood Spanish," the Border
Patrol agent speaking to the Strategic Jungle Syndicate
said. "A few did and they moved more into a rear
position while the others fired. The rest were in a van
near the western most part of the canyon."
Both law enforcement officials are disappointed, the
media, in particular, hasn't noticed the story. "Can you
imagine if a bunch of soldiers fired on police officers in
downtown San Diego what coverage that would get,"
the Border Patrol agent said. "We were involved in an
international incident and there's not a damn thing
anyone is doing about it."
The questions remain and no answers appear to be in
sight.
The Clinton-Gore Administration Cover Up
In the �O�Reilly Factor� interview, NBPC President T.J.
Bonner indicated the possibility of a cover-up originating
from the Justice Department, the State Department or
even the White House. A few days after posting the
above report, The Strategic Jungle posted the following.
The official inquiry of the October 24 incident in which
U.S. Border Patrol agents were fired upon by what
appeared to Mexican soldiers has been closed with no
new light shed on why or how the incident occurred.
Late yesterday, Border Patrol officials said there was
no evidence that showed the agents were fired on and
that Mexican soldiers crossed into the United States.
William Veal, chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego
sector, said the incident had the potential to be
inflammatory but there was no proof showing it
happened.
"This could have been a very catastrophic situation,"
Veal said. "But there is no evidence to show the agents
were fired at or that the Mexican soldiers crossed into
the United States."
National Border Patrol Council Local 1613, who called
for an investigation by the U.S. and Mexican
governments, again reiterated their side of the story
saying the incident was very real but for some reason
the governments of both nations refuse to truly
investigate it.
"The agents stick by their account of the incidents and
they truly felt their lives were in danger," said Keith
Weeks, vice president of NBPCL 1613. "We are all
very disappointed that our own government refuses to
see the severity of this incident."
To Weeks and his agents, there's no question the INS
is hiding something.
"The agency is making an attempt to minimize the
incident and aim suspicion at our agents," he said.
"They're not admitting there is a danger here for all U.S.
agents for some unknown reason."
Virginia Kice, a local spokesperson for the Immigration
and Naturalization Service's Western region, said this is
simply a matter of who you believe.
"It's a classic 'he said, he said' situation," Kice said.
"My true feeling is we will never truly know what
happened. What's more important is that we work with
the nation of Mexico to safeguard all parties from
incidents like this in the future."
Kice would not comment on eyewitness reports that
Asian soldiers and others of non-Hispanic decent were
in the area as well.
A Border Patrol agent, who has spoken to the Strategic
Jungle Syndicate on the condition of anonymity, was
upset when learning of what he described as a "political
white-wash.� He offered no further comment and hung
up the telephone quickly.
An official Border Patrol evidence crew scoured the
area, located in Copper Canyon near the Otay Mesa
port of entry, and said they found no shell casings or
other proof to validate the story. Still, the agents and
Weeks believe a cover-up has occurred and no one
can offer answers why.
"As I said before, we're days away from the election,"
Weeks said. "I can't for the life of me figure out why
they don't want to find the truth."
In a move to somewhat pacify the agent's union, INS
officials did say they have established a protocol to help
prevent further border incursions. Part of the plan
includes sharing maps and establishing radio contact
when agents are in desolate areas.
Still, answers to why this happened, and to accounts
that claim Asian and perhaps other soldiers were also in
the area, have been ignored.
Information from a highly reliable source indicates that
these border skirmishes have been happening
frequently for several years. The same source also
revealed that our own federal government is
engineering this cover-up.
The Real Issue
The real issue here is that the Clinton-Gore
administration is knowingly suppressing information
about what may be a serious threat on our country�s
southern flank, in much the same it has methodically
suppressed information about the manner in which
Russia warships have lased American surveillance
aircraft while in US waters.
Surveillance of our military assets and positions by
foreign powers is a given and to be expected. However
when the leadership of our country constructively seeks
to aide that effort, we must demand to know why, and
we cannot afford to wait for Mr. O�Reilly of Fox News to
do it for us -- and this is doubly so, for those of us who
live within easy reach of a combined arms attack from
across our southern border.
