TO USE FORCE
The blacks got their civil rights because they did not use
force nor advocated the use of force. Americans can
continue to keep their lands if they do likewise.

There is a growing madness within our courts. Please take a couple of
minutes to read this shocking court action
on a private citizen, on his private land, he taking action against
illegal aliens. His reward was the courts confiscation
his land and awarded it to two illegal aliens..How is it that America is
falling down so rapidly and the politicians
do nothing to protect our citizenry and nation.?
Notice the word "vigilante" by the lawyer scum from the Southern Poverty
Law Center which represented the
illegal aliens. Read closely his words. These lawyers are treacherous
people working against America. They are
no different than the A.C.L.U..
With the recent Supreme Court decision on Eminent Domain, the nation
populous has a great deal to be afraid of
in government. What will tomorrow bring..?
ACTION ALERT!
American Loses Property to ILLEGAL ALIEN

2 Illegal Immigrants Win Arizona Ranch in Court
By ANDREW POLLACK
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 18 - Spent shells litter the ground at what is left
of the firing range, and camouflage outfits still hang in a storeroom.
Just a few months ago, this ranch was known as Camp Thunderbird, the
headquarters of a paramilitary group that promised to use force to keep
illegal immigrants from sneaking across the border with Mexico.
Now, in a turnabout, the 70-acre property about two miles from the
border is being given to two immigrants whom the group caught trying to
enter the United States illegally.
The land transfer is being made to satisfy judgments in a lawsuit in
which the immigrants had said that Casey Nethercott, the owner of the
ranch and a former leader of the vigilante group Ranch Rescue, had
harmed them.
"Certainly it's poetic justice that these undocumented workers own this
land," said Morris S. Dees
<http://www.splcenter.org/center/history/dees.jsp> Jr., co-founder and
chief trial counsel of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery,
Ala., which represented the immigrants in their lawsuit.
Mr. Dees <http://www.splcenter.org/center/history/dees.jsp> said the
loss of the ranch would "send a pretty important message to those who
come to the border to use violence."
The surrender of the ranch comes as the governors of Arizona and New
Mexico have declared a state of emergency because of the influx of
illegal immigrants and related crime along the border.
Bill Dore, a Douglas resident briefly affiliated with Ranch Rescue who
is still active in the border-patrolling Minuteman Project, called the
land transfer "ridiculous."
"The illegals are coming over here," Mr. Dore said. "They are getting
the American property. Hell, I'd come over, too. Get some American
property, make some money from the gringos."
The immigrants getting the ranch, Edwin Alfredo MancÃa Gonzáles and
Fátima del Socorro Leiva Medina, could not be reached for comment.
Kelley Bruner, a lawyer at the law center, said they did not want to
speak to the news media but were happy with the outcome.
Ms. Bruner said that Mr. MancÃa and Ms. Leiva, who are from El Salvador
but are not related, would not live at the ranch and would probably sell
it. Mr. Nethercott bought the ranch in 2003 for $120,000.
Mr. MancÃa, who lives in Los Angeles, and Ms. Leiva, who lives in the
Dallas area, have applied for visas that are available to immigrants who
are the victims of certain crimes and who cooperate with the
authorities, Ms. Bruner said. She said that until a decision was made on
their applications, they could stay and work in the United States on a
year-to-year basis.
Mr. MancÃa and Ms. Leiva were caught on a ranch in Hebbronville, Tex.,
in March 2003 by Mr. Nethercott and other members of Ranch Rescue. The
two immigrants later accused Mr. Nethercott of threatening them and of
hitting Mr. MancÃa with a pistol, charges that Mr. Nethercott denied.
The immigrants also said the group gave them cookies, water and a
blanket and let them go after an hour or so.
The Salvadorans testified against Mr. Nethercott [Lied] when he was
tried by Texas prosecutors. The jury deadlocked on a charge of
pistol-whipping but convicted Mr. Nethercott, who had previously served
time in California for assault, of gun possession, which is illegal for
a felon. He is now serving a five-year sentence in a Texas prison.
Mr. MancÃa and Ms. Leiva also filed a lawsuit against Mr. Nethercott;
Jack Foote, the founder of Ranch Rescue; and the owner of the
Hebbronville ranch, Joe Sutton. The immigrants said the ordeal, in which
they feared that they would be killed by the men they thought were
soldiers, had left them with post-traumatic stress.
Mr. Sutton settled for $100,000. Mr. Nethercott and Mr. Foote did not
defend themselves, so the judge issued default judgments of $850,000
against Mr. Nethercott and $500,000 against Mr. Foote.
Mr. Dees <http://www.splcenter.org/center/history/dees.jsp> said Mr.
Foote appeared to have no substantial assets, but Mr. Nethercott had the
ranch. Shortly after the judgment, Mr. Nethercott gave the land to his
sister, Robin Albitz, of Prescott, Ariz. The Southern
<http://www.splcenter.org/> Poverty Law Center sued the siblings,
saying the transfer was fraudulent and was meant to avoid the judgment.
Ms. Albitz, a nursing assistant, signed over the land to the two
immigrants last week.
"It scared the hell out of her," Margaret Pauline Nethercott, the mother
of Mr. Nethercott and Ms. Albitz, said of the lawsuit. "She didn't know
she had done anything illegal. We didn't know they had a judgment
against my son."
This was not the first time the law center had taken property from a
group on behalf of a client. In 1987, the headquarters of a Ku Klux Klan
group in Alabama was given to the mother of a boy whose murder was tied
to Klansmen. Property has also been taken from the Aryan Nations and the
White Aryan Resistance, Mr. Dees said.

RyqZsgrpVzE4dEg689i8k3ayvjMIPkw--> Jacobson, a lawyer in Austin who
represented Mr. Nethercott in the criminal case, said the award was "a
vast sum of money for a very small indignity." Mr. Jacobson said the two
immigrants were trespassing on Mr. Sutton's ranch and would have been
deported had the criminal charges not been filed against Mr. Nethercott.
He criticized the law center for trying to get $60,000 in bail money
transferred to the immigrants. While the center said the money was Mr.
Nethercott's, Mr. Jacobson said it was actually Ms. Nethercott's, who
mortgaged her home to post bail for her son.
Mr. Nethercott and Mr. Foote had a falling out in 2004, and Mr. Foote
left Camp Thunderbird, taking Ranch Rescue with him. Mr. Nethercott then
formed the Arizona Guard, also based on his ranch.
In April, Mr. Nethercott told an Arizona television station, "We're
going to come out here and close the border with machine guns." But by
the end of the month, he had started his prison sentence.
Now, only remnants of Camp Thunderbird remain on his ranch, a vast
expanse of hard red soil, mesquite and tumbleweed with a house and two
bunkhouses. One bunkhouse has a storeroom containing some camouflage
suits, sleeping bags, tarps, emergency rations, empty ammunition crates,
gun parts and a chemical warfare protection suit.
In one part of the ranch, dirt is piled up to form the backdrop of a
firing range. An old water tank, riddled with bullet holes, is on its
side. A platform was built as an observation post on the tower that once
held the water tank.
Charles Jones, who was hired as a ranch hand about a month before Mr.
Nethercott went to prison, put up fences and brought in cattle to graze.
He has continued to live on the property with some family members.
But now the cattle are gone, and Mr. Jones has been told that he should
prepare to leave. "It makes me sick I did all this work," he said.
Ms. Nethercott said she was not sure whether her son knew that his ranch
was being turned over to the immigrants, but that he would be crushed if
he did.
"That's his whole life," she said of the ranch. "He'd be heartbroken if
he lost it in any way, but this is the worst way."
