PAGE NINE - No. 8
The Uninvited Ombudsman Reports
by Alan Korwin, Author
Gun Laws of America


I'm proposing a new page for newspapers ("Page Nine" regardless of the page
it runs on), that covers stories afresh, not the way news rooms typically
flavor things. It would help reduce the distrust so many readers feel. It
could be the most read page in the paper, a light breath of fresh air.
Here's a casual sample. It might make you say, "We'll NEVER run that!" but
the page will be built around ad revenues from right thinking mainstream
businesses.

Mexican Mapping Nonsense

The lamestream media told you:
National Guard troops will be used to update maps of the U.S.-Mexico border,
since the original work was done 150 years ago. "Accurate maps will help
U.S. government agents find their way around rugged terrain and show where
the area they are patrolling ends and where Mexico begins," reports Mike
Madden, at the Arizona Republic Washington bureau, with a straight face.
The location of the border is precisely set by treaties (signed from 1848 to
1970), and agents in the area use global-positioning satellites, not maps,
to find their way. Border and Customs officials refused to comment for the
front page story.
The article does not ask whether the announced mapping is appropriate, a
good use of limited resources, of if it will have any impact on the massive
illegal immigration taking place, though it does mention that the Guard has
no legal authority to determine the international boundary. Meanwhile, the
Pentagon is working out details of the assignment, exactly what parts will
be mapped, and when work will begin.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
In the biggest slap-in-the-face yet to a public infuriated by a hopelessly
porous southern border, it was announced today that National Guard troops
being sent to the Arizona-Mexico line, instead of protecting the border,
will make maps to determine exactly where the border is.
Mexicans illegally poring across the border literally by the millions do not
have any trouble finding it.
Foreigners found illegally inside the United States are not impacted in any
way by exactly where they crossed over.
No cases exist where Mexicans flooding into the United States were caught,
and then claimed they were still on their side of the border.
It is believed that U.S. agents pursuing suspects sometimes step over the
lines, which the maps will not affect. Mexican military units have crossed
into the United States as well, with no repercussions.
The lengthy "news" report, violating the most basic ethical principles,
carries the government's plan without question, skepticism or even a raised
eyebrow, enforcing the belief held by many that the lamestream media has
given up its role as watchdog for the more comfortable role of lapdog.
"The government's devotion (sic) of military time and money to making better
maps underscores how difficult patrolling and securing the border is,"
reporter Madden fecklessly relates.
"There's parts of that border that are very, very poorly marked and very
difficult to discern," said Lt. Gen. Steven Blum, head of the Pentagon's
National Guard Bureau, according to the reporter.
A quick look at an investigative tool known as a road map, however, shows
the entire border is a perfectly straight surveyed line, with a single jog
of direction in the middle, and a tiny portion that follows the Colorado
River in the west.
Hopelessly remote areas of poorly marked treacherous terrain, cited as a
problem, are not where illegals are poring in, notes one observer, since
pregnant women, children and even physically fit men can't cover those 40
miles on foot. No plans for marking the poorly marked border, which would be
illegal, are involved.
"The government is lying to your face," says one insider who prefers to
remain nameless, accusing the media of propagating the lies. "They said
they're sending troops, but they're only going to make maps so they can find
their [backsides]. You've all been taken for suckers. The Mexodus is being
supported, not stopped."
The report did not indicate how long the mapping will take, what it will
cost, or if copies will be provided to Mexico for their use in determining
where the border is.
Phoenix Mapping Service, an Arizona-based cartographer (map maker), assures
callers that they have maps of the exact border location, in different
scales, several projections, in topographic, political, road, relief and
satellite imagery, in paper and digital versions. Most sell for under $20.
Global positioning satellite systems, available in any quantity for
immediate delivery, cost a bit more.
In the interest of full disclosure, the Uninvited Ombudsman's friend Jim
runs Wide World of Maps, available online at maps4u.com.
