FOUNDER OF MINUTEMAN PROJECT ISSUES WARNING ON TEA PARTY INFILTRATION
By Victor Thorn
Joe
McCutcheon speaks proudly of being the third or fourth original member of the
Minuteman Project. During a recent interview, this former pharmacist and pilot
told me that it was the finest moment of his life to see thousands of diligent
people in Tombstone, Ariz., contributing to protect our nation. They even started a volunteer air force of 35
pilots to patrol the border. Then disaster struck and the group got co-opted
and corrupted by an array of infiltrators, quickly destroying this grassroots
movement.
A longtime political
activist, McCutcheon experienced the same excitement last summer when tea
parties began forming all across the country. However, he is acutely aware of
the potential for another takeover.
“I see the same names popping up,” he said. “It’s the neo-cons creating 501(c)s. Last weekend in Nashville, this beautiful cause became a
money-making affair. Sarah Palin and the RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) have
seized the movement.”
He next identified the culprits, echoing the findings of
Michael Collins Piper in his December 2009 AFP Special Report, which detailed
the high-level elite power forces promoting Sarah Palin.
“Palin’s mentor is
William Kristol,” wrote Piper. “He traveled to Anchorage,
Alaska when she was governor and
was instrumental in securing her as John McCain’s vice presidential candidate.
She fits the AIPAC bill of eternal war for eternal peace, just like the
neo-cons. How the U.S. has been
propelled into the Middle East is a criminal
hoax. We’re being led around by Israel to do
their bidding. Palin’s a shill for
the warmongers and Israel-firsters.”
“Kristol’s name is intriguing
because his operatives divided and conquered the Minutemen. The primary instigators
were Mary Parker Lewis and Alan Keyes of the Declaration Alliance. Former
presidential candidate Keyes, it should be noted, once roomed with Bilderberg
attendee Kristol at Harvard. Kristol also ran Keyes’s 1988 senatorial
campaign in Maryland. Lewis has similar ties. First, she served as
Keyes’s former campaign manager, as well as Kristol’s “confidential assistant.”
Lewis also acted as Kristol protegé Bill Bennett’s special assistant,
introduced Minuteman cofounder Chris Simcox to Keyes, and was employed by Diener
Consultants.
Diener is noteworthy
because its president, Phillip Sheldon, is the son of Lou Sheldon. As founder
of the Traditional Values Coalition, Lou Sheldon (a Jewish convert to a pro-Zionist
dispensationalist Christian sect) belongs to the Falwell-Pat Robertson-Hagee-Gary
Bauer-Tim LaHaye cabal which leads the “endtimes” religious right into Israel’s clutches.
Diener employed not only Mary Parker Lewis but Connie Hair, a top advisor to
Alan Keyes and spokesperson for Bill Bennett. Phillip Sheldon himself helped
raise half-a-million dollars for Keyes’s 2004 senatorial bid against Barack
Obama. Interestingly, it seemed as if this race was deliberately orchestrated
to allow an Obama victory.
In a Sept. 10 article by neo-con film critic Michael
Medved, he describes Keyes as “a carpet-bagging embarrassment and fringe
candidate who took the Republican nomination after the formidable prior
contender withdrew in a divorce-related sex scandal.”
Now, if we fast-forward
to the Tea Party phenomenon, critics name the primary infiltrators as former
Republican Majority House Leader Dick Armey, Nashville convention organizer Judson
Phillips and Mark Skoda.All of these men harbor an undeniable neo-con
mentality.
On May 1, 2002 Armey “called
for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians” while endorsing Israel’s
genocidal war efforts in occupied territories.
Judson Phillips is likewise troublesome.
Activist Tami Kilmarx is quoted as saying, “From the beginning he talked about
wanting to make a fortune off the Tea Party movement.” In addition, his neo-con
aims became clear in a Feb. 5 article by Luke O’Brien of AOL News. “One
of the first groups he joined after setting up his [Facebook] account was the ‘Society
for the Defeat of Islam.’”
The spokesman for
Phillips’ February Tea Party event was Mark Skoda, who invited Andrew Breitbart
of Big Government. Although Breitbart has done some fine work exposing ACORN,
he’s also an associate ofWilliam Kristol of Weekly Standard fame, as
well as Matt Drudge. These three neo-cons form a very influential media triad.
Virtually all
grass-roots Tea Party members, reminiscent of the Minutemen, are good-hearted,
sincere Americans with a genuine desire to salvage our country from the
clutches of those who are intent on hijacking it. Sadly, each movement has been infiltrated by
wolves in sheep’s clothing that harbor ulterior motives that should greatly
trouble the rank and file.
Quite possibly the
most overt example of this takeover can be found in the words of Laurie
Cardoza-Moore, president of a Christian-Zionist organization called Proclaiming
Justice to the Nations. While blessing the meal prior to Sarah Palin’s keynote
address at the Nashville Tea Party convention, Moore
proclaimed, “If we do not defend the United
States, who will defend Israel? I would like to think that
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is watching here tonight. And I want Bibi Netanyahu
to know that the Tea Party nation is going to stand strong for Israel.”
