Hate speech and terrorist support from within

Jim Nutting


Few are aware of La Voz de Aztlan. La Voz de Aztlan is internet news and information service who also call themselves, The Aztlan Communications Network (ACN). ACN is based in Los Angeles California and according to their hit counter, has had more then a million visitors to their site since ACN began in January 1, 2000.


Ernesto Cienfuegos, Editor and Chief and Hector Carreon, Publisher, keep the anti-Jew/anti-Israel and anti-American site updated regularly. The site is supposed to be dedicated to the belief that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington belong to the "mythical" homeland of Aztlán. The Voz de Aztlán contends that these lands are property of the Chicano and Mexican people.



The “myth” is just a magnet to pull in support and then redirect the battle to pure anti-Semitism. They began with stories about immigration, police brutality, the Border Patrol and then festered into hate filled anti-Jew propaganda.



The Voz de Aztlan compares themselves to the Palestinian Arabs. They published stories with titles like “The Israelization of the USA and its Dangers to Mexico”, “Zionist Army Continues Slaughtering Palestinians” and the ACN hate-rag even republished the anti-Semitic and fraudulent transcript, "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion".



In a recent article by Cienfuegos, “Mother of two latest martyr against Israeli apartheid”, he calls the 21 year old female Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade homicide bomber a “Freedom fighter” for blowing herself up at the Erez border check point between Israel and the Gaza Strip. Cienfuegos also compares Jews to Nazis. Voz de Aztlan also hosts a boycott of Israeli products. Their hatred is so deep that they even want kosher symbols removed from America’s food products. Cienfuegos wrote a pathetic piece titled, “The kosher-nostra scam”.



ACN uses an image of an Israeli flag with a swastika replacing the Star of David to link to a petition to stop US military aid to Israel and another image on their site of a US flag with a Star of David covering the state stars.



Cienfuegos has gone beyond his exercise of free speech. He’s screaming fire in a crowed theater. He is over the edge and an obvious danger not only to the Jewish people but young and impressionable Hispanic kids in the barrios.



In southern California there are literally millions of illegal aliens from Mexico. Many have brought their children. The children attend public schools. Many don’t finish school because the prospect of a career is impossible without legal residency documentation. Many of these kids hit the streets and get involved in gangs. Some are drawn in to the bowels of organizations like the Voz De Aztlan. People without proper education could be easily drawn in to Cienfuegos’ trap. Cienfuegos and his cronies are not stupid, just Nazis and promoters of terrorism. Put your boots on, bring antiseptic hand wash and take a tour of the Nation of Aztlan’s “Voz de Aztlan” web site. http://aztlan.net/
