Information on Jewish Defense League Terrorist
Glenn Spencer of
American Border Patrol
Glenn Spencer, one of the most shameless anti-Mexican
bigots in California, will be moving to Cochise County
in Arizona this month to join the vile vigilantes
ranchers who have been terrorizing Mexican immigrants
along the US/Mexico border. For years now, both Glenn
Spencer and the leader of the vigilante Arizona
ranchers, Roger Barnett, have been meeting to plot a
series of sinister actions directed against
Mexican immigrant workers crossing the border.
In May of 2000, JDL member Glenn Spencer along with Arizona rancher Roger Barnett, sent out invitations to anti-immigrant groups across the USA to come to Arizona for some "Fun in the Sun" and hunt down Mexican migrants crossing the border. The "flyer" offered a free stay on a ranch to anyone willing to drive down to the Arizona/Mexico border in their cars, trucks or RV's. As a consequence of this action, many Mexican immigrant workers lost their lives or were injured. The group of vigilantes boasted to the US media of illegally arresting hundreds of Mexican immigrant workers. Rancher Roger Barnett, sporting a military assault rifle with a hunting scope, told USA Today Magazine that he was "prepared to kill Mexicans" if he had to.
On the morning of May 12, 2000, two Arizona ranchers on horseback and armed with high power hunting rifles shot and critically wounded an undocumented Mexican worker attempting to cross the border near Sasabe, Arizona. Four other young men accompanying 20 year old Miguel Angel Palofox Aguerrin of Guasave, Sinaloa were also shot at by the vigilantes. Miguel and four of his companions came under lethal attack by two Anglos on horseback porting sidearms and high power hunting rifles. Miguel Angel Palofox Aguerrin stated that his group was suddenly ambushed by the two vigilantes on horseback. He was shot on the face. The bullet tore through his neck and exited through his ear.
On Saturday May 13, 2000, JDL member Glenn Spencer,
vigilante Roger Barnett and a group of anti-immigrant
xenophobes met at the Windemere Hotel in Sierra Vista,
Arizona to discuss strategies that would deter
Mexicans from crossing the border to work. One
proposal that was made public was the placement of
"military land mines" along pathways used by the
immigrants. The threat had the effect of forcing the
immigrants to take more dangerous routes across the
arid and hot desert regions of Arizona. This caused
the death from thirst of a great number of immigrant
workers, including the death of a young mother.
The 19 year old mother gave all her water to her
months old baby daughter. Her dead body was found
shielding her still alive baby from the hot sun.
Today Jewish Defense League member Glenn Spencer is again plotting yet another of his hare brain schemes designed to terrorize Mexican immigrants at the US/Mexico border region. He is apparently organizing his own private American Border Patrol (ABP). He says that he has received funding from private sources to set up a high technology border monitoring system that will utilize private airplanes, vigilante ranchers with radio transmitters, global positioning satellites, the Internet and Webcams. The entire system will be managed by him personally from a large RV set up somewhere in Cochise County, Arizona.
It is still unknown who may be funding this so called "High Tech" vigilante project, but judging from who Spencer's principal supporters are, the answer may shock some non-believers. In a letter, attached below, to the then Program Manager of KIEV 870 AM Radio, Earl Trout, Spencer makes some startling revelations. In his complaint about being kicked off the air, he says, "Our organization was co-founded by a Jew. I am a member of the Jewish Defense League. Both of my sons-in-law are Jewish." This letter was written by Glenn Spencer prior to the WTC and Pentagon terrorist attacks and prior to Irv Rubin, Chairman of the JDL, being arrested by federal authorities for attempting to bomb a Los Angeles mosque and the offices of Arab Congressman Daryl Issa. With the type of company Spencer keeps, it may be prudent to keep a close eye on his new activities in Arizona.

LETTER TO KIEV
June 2, 2000
Earl Trout
KIEV Radio
Glendale, California
Dear Earl,
Last evening I told you I wanted to sleep on the problem we are dealing with before I gave you an answer regarding "Cable Radio." I have done just that.
This morning I awoke to the realization that KIEV and Salem broadcasting are kicking me off the air while at the same feeding inside information to Raoul Lowrey Contreras, a talk show host on your affiliate in San Diego. Raoul Lowrey Contreras is anti-Semitic. You know this because I gave you absolute proof of this fact.
Our organization was co-founded by a Jew. I am a member of the Jewish Defense League. Both of my sons-in-law are Jewish.
You have said that I am being taken off the air by KIEV because of pressure brought on your organization by the Autry Museum and Midas Muffler, not because of anything I have done or said. The idea that I would be barred from your radio station, even though I am paying for the air time, while at the same time you allow Raoul Lowrey Contreras to send his anti-Semitic, anti-American message over the airways is too much.
The only acceptable avenue for the future is for KIEV to allow me to continue with my weekly broadcast as if nothing happened. I will deal with Raoul Lowrey Contreras in my own way.
I expect to hear by 11 am today that KIEV will allow me to go on the air on Sunday as per our original agreement.
Sincerely,
Glenn Spencer
