It is now an established fact that the Minutemen are involved in profiting from drug smuggling operations along the Mexico/US border. The proof is the three Minutemen in a Tucson jail awaiting trial for the heinous murder of a 9-year-old child and her father in Arivaca, Arizona on May 30th. In this case, three members of the Minutemen American Defense invaded the home of the Flores family at night looking to steal drugs and money. In the process, Shawna Forde, White supremacist Jason Eugene Bush and Albert Robert Gaxiola murdered little Brisenia Flores, her father Raul and left for dead her mother Gina Flores.
Later in the investigation of this shocking crime, it was found that the Minutemen murderess Shawna Forde had very close connections to other high level Minutemen leaders that include Jim Gilchrist and others. In addition, Shawna Forde had attended terrorist vigilante training classes at the notorious Minutemen “Camp Vigilance” which is located near the very same area where Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas was also murdered on July 23, 2009.
There is another telling sign that indicates that the Minutemen are operating as a sophisticated front for covert drug smuggling operations. Soon after Shawna Forde and her Minutemen killers murdered little Brisenia Flores and her father looking for drugs and money , she sought refuge at Glenn Spencer’s ranch which is located near the Mexican border in Arizona. It was not the first time that the child killer Shawna Forde was at the ranch of the infamous anti-Mexican bigot.
A report by journalist Art Ricker of the Galena Gazette published on April 22, 2008 says that he met up with Shawna Forde at the Spencer ranch at the end of March 2008. Ricker reports, “I spent Saturday afternoon at a ranch, on the Mexican border, owned by Glenn Spencer, the president of American Border Patrol. Later that day we left the ranch and headed south to an area referred by the border patrol as the Tucson Station.” Ricker continues, “Traveling along with me were; Shawna Forde, president of Minutemen America Defense ; her daughter; and an employee of Spencer’s ranch, Wes Fleming. Our area of interest was north of Sasabe, Arizona., known as Caballo Loco.”
Journalist Art Ricker continues to report that during the border operation; Wes Fleming, Shawna Forde and himself met up and camped out with the well known CIA operative and professional mercenary Joseph Adams of “Nicaraguan Contra/Crack Cocaine Scandal” fame. Are we beginning to get the picture? We hope the FBI knows this very important piece of information and is already investigating.
Yet another connection to the possible murder of US Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas by the Minutemen is a video produced by a Minuteman who is known as “The Cockroach Hunter.” This particularly evil Minuteman, like the Minuteman killer Jason Eugene Bush, filmed the killing of a Mexican migrant in the same general area where the Mexican-American Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas was also killed.
It is clear to us that the killing by the Minutemen of the “cockroach” Mexican migrant shown in the video is no different, in their minds, to the killing of the “cockroach” Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas who is also of Mexican descent.
t is no secret that most of the anti-Mexican Minutemen border vigilantes have great disdain for all US Border Patrol agents of Mexican descent. They want them all dead and continuously accuse them of “collaborating with the Mexican agenda.” We believe that the Minutemen killed US Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas in order to advance their goals of closing the border and of sparking a “border war.” These border vigilantes, notably Glenn Spencer, have continuously demonized even US Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar who is also of Mexican descent. Under these circumstances, it would be no surprise if the killer Minutemen are now targeting border patrol agents of Mexican descent for assassination. This will also make it easier for them to profit from the drug trade.
The dead end in the investigation of the true murderers of Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas should alert the FBI. Their offer of a $100,000 reward for the recovery of the agent’s hand gun, a .40 caliber Heckler & Koch P2000, and information leading to the arrest of the murderers only led the Mexican police to produce some patsies in order to obtain the tempting reward. The Tecate, Mexico police claimed that they had arrested Ernesto Parra Valenzuela for the murder and that he was in possession of agent’s Rosas handgun during the arrest. It turned out, however, that the handgun in possession of Valenzuela was not a Border Patrol issued .40 caliber Heckler & Koch P2000 but a common 9 mm caliber semi-automatic. (See photo).
The FBI needs to wake up and investigate the Minutemen for what they are, a bunch of domestic terrorists who are now involved in raising funds for their operations by profiting through drug smuggling operations.
They are using the cover of being “patriots defending America” to commit their evil deeds. These criminals are hiding behind the “American Flag” like many other common delinquents have done in the past. We urge the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to diligently perform their duties and bring the killers of US Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas to justice.
