Minutemen vigilante Jim Gilchrist
"dumped" as speaker at Harvard

Jim Gilchrist - Founder of the racist Minutemen movement. Gilchrist has had a closed association with Minutemen killer Shawna Forde. (See photos below)

Shawna Forde - Minutemen leader and child murderess. Shawna Forde has a long rap sheet that includes felonies as a street prostitute.

The vile border vigilante Jim Gilchrist was informed yesterday by the Harvard Undergraduate Legal Committee that his speaking engagement tomorrow at the university had been cancelled. It appears that Harvard found out about Gilchrist's close association with and support of child murderess Shawna Forde whose group, the Minutemen American Defense, committed some horrific murders in Arivaca, Arizona on May 30th.

Shawna Forde and two other Minutemen are at a Tucson jail awaiting trial for the home invasion and murder of 9-year-old Brisenia Flores and her father Raul. The mother Gina Flores was left for dead with bullet wounds to her leg, hip and shoulder. Jim Gilchrist's associate and the other Minutemen killers invaded the Flores home dressed as law enforcement officers. According to the Pima County Sheriffs, the Minutemen invaded the Flores home, which is about 10 miles from the US/Mexico border, to look for drugs and money in order to fund future Minutemen border operations. Law enforcement officers are still looking for other Minutemen and nativists they believe participated in the planning and execution of the heinous crime.

Vigilante Jim Gilchrist was scheduled to participate on a panel titled, “Immigration and Its Future in America.’’ Alert student leaders informed university officials about Gilchrist's association with Shawna Forde and this led to the cancellation of his invitation. The Harvard Undergraduate Legal Committee said, “Mr. Gilchrist’s participation in the conference on the behalf of the Minutemen Project was not compatible with providing an environment for civil, educational, and productive discourse on immigration, and we cannot host him at this time.’’

The racist Minutemen movement has attracted numerous White supremacists, Nazis, criminals and KKK members. The Minutemen have now been tied to many other killings and home invasions, especially in the state of Arizona where they received support from corrupt politicians and some unscrupulous law enforcement officials like Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County. Arizona has been a fertile breeding ground for these murderers because it is a state where they can carry their guns around legally which they do while patrolling and hunting for undocumented Mexicans along the border.

An intriguing new development concerning Shawna Forde and the Minutemen is their possible connection to illegal Iran/Contra type operations in conjunction with unauthorized CIA covert activities along the US/Mexico border. Shawna Forde and other Minutemen have now been tied to CIA operative Joe Adams of "Crack Cocaine/CIA Scandal" fame. La Voz de Aztlan has an extensive and detailed report titled, "Minutemen killers, drugs and the CIA" that covers the subject. The report which includes many links, photographs and a revealing video concerning the Minutemen murders in Arivaca, Arizona is published at http://www.aztlan.net/minutemen_drugs_and_the_cia.htm

The above are two rare photos of the founder of the Minutemen Jim Gilchrist
and of Shawna Forde, the killer of 9-year-old Brisenia Flores now in jail in Tucson awaiting trial.
Jim Gilchrist has been attempting to distance himself from the child murderess ever since she was arrested
leaving Glenn Spencer's ranch a few days after the heinous murders.
