1. It often takes a whistle-blower such as Sibel Dinez Edmonds to ask the big questions. Example: In the investigation into 9/11, she suggests that the FBI allowed several top targets of FBI investigations related to support networks of terrorist activities to leave the country after the 9/11 attacks without ever being questioned.

And we recall that former White House terrorism czar Richard Clarke testified that former assistant FBI director Dale Watson OK'd emergency outbound flights for "Saudi nationals," including relatives of Osama bin Laden, within days of the attacks. Clarke indicated that the Saudi evacuation request might have originated with White House Chief of Staff Andy Card's office. No comment from the White House.

2. My friend Lou Dobbs, on his CNN "Broken Borders" report, offers a wealth of information concerning outsourcing of our manufacturing base and the unfair exchange that exists between us and China, India and others. He tells of 12-year-old kids working 12 hours a day for 12 cents an hour - the cheapest of cheap labor, with which our manufacturers cannot compete.

His stories receive little notice, though he joins this reporter telling of violent run-ins with smugglers a thousand-fold who invade our borders ... and tells of violent run-ins with those who engage in dope smuggling and human trafficking, most of which is ignored by the national press. I said dope smugglers and human traffickers - the meanest, cruelest criminals on the borders of the United States!

And while the 10 members of the panel interrogate key members of our government, we experience "business as usual."

3. Here's a story which should have been carried on the front page of every newspaper in America: Over 100 illegals were caught aboard Continental and American Airlines flights from Los Angeles to Newark, N.J. They are alleged to have used Mexican matricula cards that are accepted as valid forms of ID by the Transportation Security Administration.

Who knows how many among the 100 illegals meant harm to us? It took only 19 to perform the dastardly 9/11 catastrophe! And they call this HOMELAND SECURITY?

4. Or speaking of family values, how about this: Authorities in Los Angeles raided a brothel. But what makes this incident of particular interest is that the brothel was run by Mexican nationals who imported Mexican females, some as young as 14 and 15 years of age, to serve as prostitutes. Family values, indeed!

5. Or how about the planned Mexican takeover conference scheduled April 28-29, 2004. It is titled AZTLAN / MEXICO and is to be held in Mexico City. The key subject: the eventual takeover of the American Southwest by Mexico. The conference plans to feature Mexican leaders with well-known fifth columnists and quislings.

All of this follows on the heels of a directive from the Mexican government that groups illegal and legal within the United States - 50 to 100 at a gathering - appear at our public meetings, city councils, boards of supervisors and state assembly and senate meetings to disrupt the proceedings with loud demonstrations wherever such issues as driver's licenses for illegal aliens and other controversial issues are discussed ... by shear obstructionist behavior, hoping to prevail.

So, while the 10 members, five Democrats and five Republicans, discuss what has gone before, these are some of the things that are happening at the moment as our neighbors south of the border attempt to impose AZTLAN / MEXICO and its bankrupt ideology upon our nation.

6. The capper came this week when Glenn Spencer and his citizen group who patrol our border between Arizona and Mexico were promised by Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes" that they would do a full story on the invasion of America. Glenn was ecstatic until suddenly Kroft's producer called to tell him it was too hot to handle and the segment would be canceled. Just one more in a long line of examples of how America turns its back on the ever-increasing invasion.

Meanwhile, the finger-pointing goes on and on as the commission attempts to ascertain what went wrong ... while right under their noses, the threats to our sovereignty and security mount. Let's remind them that what's past has passed, and desperate attempts to assign blame is a waste of precious time and resources that could be used to thwart another terrorist attack.

The legendary George Putnam is 89 years young and a veteran of 69 years as a reporter, broadcaster and commentator ... and is still going strong on KSPA-AM, 12 noon to 2 p.m. Pacific Time - simulcast all over the world on the CRN Radio Network. Click here for George's complete bio.
