Smuggler's Partner Pleads Guilty in Border Agents Case By Fred Lucas CNSNews.com Staff Writer August 07, 2007 (CNSNews.com) - The owner of a "stash" house who allegedly worked with a Mexican drug smuggler shot by Border Patrol agents has struck a deal with federal prosecutors. Cipriano Ortiz-Hernandez pleaded guilty last week to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana. Cybercast News Service reported last month that Ortiz-Hernandez owned the stash house where Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila of Mexico made drug shipments in October 2005. Ortiz-Hernandez' plea agreement comes after members of Congress criticized a federal prosecutor for granting a "humanitarian" pass for Aldrete-Davila to enter and exit the United States unescorted. Aldrete Davila, already given immunity for one drug charge, reportedly smuggled more marijuana into the country to be stored at the home of Cipriano Ortiz-Hernandez. Terms of Ortiz-Hernandez' plea agreement are sealed. The sentencing hearing is set for Nov. 2. On Feb. 17, 2005, Aldrete-Davila tried to smuggle more than 700 pounds of marijuana across the Mexican border into Texas. U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean confronted him, and he was shot in the buttocks while escaping on foot back into Mexico. Federal prosecutors struck a deal with Aldrete-Davila to testify against the two agents in exchange for immunity from prosecution for the marijuana-smuggling offense. Aldrete-Davila returned to the United States, received free medical treatment at an Army hospital, and was also given "humanitarian passes," which allowed him to enter and exit the country at will, while receiving medical treatment for the bullet wound. Ramos and Compean were sentenced to 11 and 12 years each in prison. At investigative hearings held by both the House and Senate last month, Democrats and Republicans criticized U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton (Western District of Texas) for giving Aldrete-Davila a humanitarian pass, considering his background. Further, members of Congress wanted to know why the jury in the border agents case was not informed of the October load of drugs brought into the United States. The timing of the plea bargain is "most curious," said Andy Ramirez, chairman of Friends of the Border Patrol, a group advocating for the release of Ramos and Compean. He believes a deal was struck to avoid a trial that would include testimony about Aldrete-Davila's role in the drug conspiracy. "The whole thing is continued obvious and blatant suppression of evidence," Ramirez told Cybercast News Service. "He's doing all he can to keep Congress from their fact-finding on this case." Sutton spokeswoman Shana Jones would not talk about specifics of the case. But she said there could be other persons charged in the drug conspiracy. She did not rule out that the plea agreement might be in exchange for turning over other members of the drug ring. "If terms aren't public, I wouldn't be in a position to comment on what cooperation he (Ortiz-Hernandez) might be giving the government," Jones told Cybercast News Service. "Often times people plea in exchange for information they provide to the government about other criminal activity." Jones said the crime could carry a penalty of ten years or more in prison. When Ramos and Compean were tried, their defense attorneys attempted to have a second drug offense by Aldrete-Davila introduced as evidence. But Judge Cardone ruled it was not relevant to the case. Sutton has said, "I would like nothing more than to have a prosecutable case against Aldrete - one based on competent, admissible evidence." According to documents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, dated October and November 2005, Ortiz-Hernandez and another Texas man, Armando Vasquez, were arrested in connection with the marijuana case. But Aldrete-Davila has yet to be charged with any offense. DEA documents appear to positively identify Aldrete-Davila as a player in the drug smuggling operation at Ortiz-Hernandez's home. In the documents, Ortiz-Hernandez describes Aldrete-Davila as having a colostomy bag. It was known that he wore a colostomy bag as a result of the injuries from the shooting in 2005. "This van contained approximately 6 bundles of marijuana," the DEA documents read. "The total weight of the marijuana seized by the DEA on 10-23-2005 from the van and the residence was 752.8 pounds." At another point in the documents, Ortiz-Hernandez's brother tells DEA agents that they "should know Davila's identity because he is the person who was shot by Border Patrol agents about six months ago." During the Senate hearing, Sen. Diane Feinstein asked Sutton if it was wise to give a pass to a known drug dealer. Sutton responded, "If he ran another load of dope, it was a mistake [to give him the pass]. If he did not run another load of dope, it wasn't."

Comrade Artemio

Comrade Artemio

Leader of the Shining Path
Incumbent
Assumed office 1999?
Preceded by	Óscar Ramírez
Political party	Communist Party of Peru - Shining Path

Comrade Artemio is the alias of the man believed by many to be the current leader of the Shining Path, a Maoist guerrilla group in Peru. While Artemio's real name is unknown, the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Rospigliosi, has claimed that Artemio has a national identification card under the false name of José Flórez León. As a result of this card, the government has a picture of the face of the man they believe is Artemio. The CIA World Factbook lists his true identity as Gabriel Macario.

Very little is known about Comrade Artemio. He has appeared in video tapes, but in them he wears a ski mask, often with an extra piece of cloth sewed on to hide even his eyes. Messages supposed to have been written by him make the claim that he is only the regional commander of the Shining Path for Huallaga region, implying that he is not the leader of the entire movement. This might be because he takes the imprisoned former leaders, Abimael Guzmán, or his successor, Óscar Ramírez Durand, to be the true leaders, not believing their orders for the Shining Path to lay down its arms.

If Artemio is indeed in the Hullaga region, he may have affiliated himself with local coca growers, as Huallaga Valley is known to produce coca, often for cocaine production.

On September 26, 2006 a news crew from the television show Panorama interviwed Artemio in a jungle base established by Shining Path. They also filmed about 50 Shining Path militants, all of whom were masked. Artemio demanded that the Peruvian government grant amnesty to imprisoned Shining Path members and open a peace dialogue with the remaining Shining Path members. Days after the report, the National Police raided the site where Artemio gave the interview. Some Shining Path members were arrested, but Artemio was not.

The Communist Party of Peru (Spanish: El Partido Comunista del Perú), more commonly known as the Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso), is a Maoist guerrilla organization in Peru that launched the internal conflict in Peru in 1980. The more familiar name distinguishes the group from several other Peruvian communist parties with similar names (see Communism in Peru). It originates from a maxim of José Carlos Mariátegui, founder of the original Peruvian Communist Party: "El Marxismo-Leninismo abrirá el sendero luminoso hacia la revolución" (“Marxism-Leninism will open the shining path to revolution”).^[1] This maxim was featured in the masthead of the newspaper of a Shining Path front group, and Peruvian communist groups are often distinguished by the names of their publications. The followers of the group are generally called senderistas. All documents, periodicals and other materials produced by the organization are signed by the Communist Party of Peru (PCP). Academics refer to them as PCP-SL.

Shining Path's stated goal is to replace Peruvian bourgeois institutions with a communist peasant revolutionary regime, presumably passing first through the Maoist developmental stage of New Democracy. Since the capture of its leader Abimael Guzmán in 1992, it has only been sporadically active.^[2] Shining Path's ideology and tactics have been influential on other Maoist insurgent groups, notably the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and other Revolutionary Internationalist Movement-affiliated organizations.

Widely condemned for its brutality, including violence deployed against peasants, trade union organizers, popularly elected officials and the general civilian population^[3], Shining Path is on the U.S. Department of State's "Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations" list.^[4] Peru, the European Union^[5], and Canada^[6] likewise regard Shining Path as a terrorist group and prohibit providing funding or other financial

Shining Path was founded in the late 1960s by former university philosophy professor Abimael Guzmán (referred to by his followers by his nom de guerre Presidente Gonzalo), whose teachings created the foundation for its militant Maoist doctrine. It was an offshoot of the Communist Party of Peru — Bandera Roja ("red flag"), which in turn split from the original Peruvian Communist Party, a derivation of the Peruvian Socialist Party, founded by José Carlos Mariátegui in 1928.

Shining Path first established a foothold in San Cristóbal of Huamanga University, where Guzmán taught philosophy. The university had recently reopened after being closed for about half a century, and many students of the newly-educated class adopted Shining Path's radical ideology. Between 1973 and 1975, Shining Path gained control of the student councils in the Universities of Huancayo and La Cantuta, and developed a significant presence in the National University of Engineering in Lima and the National University of San Marcos, the oldest university in the Americas. Sometime later, it lost many student elections in the universities, including Guzmán's own San Cristóbal of Huamanga, and decided to abandon the universities and reconsolidate itself.

Jim Thorpe

Jim Thorpe
Thorpe at the 1912 Summer Olympics.

Jacobus Franciscus "Jim" Thorpe (Meskwaki: Wa-Tho-Huk) (May 28, 1888–March 28, 1953^[1]) was an American athlete. Considered one of the most versatile athletes in modern sports, he won Olympic gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon, played American football collegiately and professionally, and also played professional baseball and basketball. He subsequently lost his Olympic titles when it was found he had played two seasons of minor league baseball before competing in the games (thus violating the amateur status rules).

Thorpe was of mixed Native American and white ancestry. He was raised as a Sac and Fox, and named Wa-Tho-Huk, roughly translated as "Bright Path". He struggled with racism throughout much of his life and his accomplishments were publicized with headlines describing him as a "Redskin" and "Indian athlete". He also played on several All-American Indian teams throughout his career and barnstormed as a professional basketball player with a team composed entirely of Native Americans.

Thorpe was named the greatest athlete of the first half of the twentieth century by the Associated Press (AP) in 1950, and ranked third on the AP list of athletes of the century in 1999. After his professional sports career ended, Thorpe lived in abject poverty. He worked several odd jobs, struggled with alcoholism, and lived out the last years of his life in failing health. In 1983, thirty years after his death, his medals were restored.

Early life

Information about Thorpe's birth, full name, and ethnic background varies widely.^[2] What is known is that he was born in Indian Territory, but no birth certificate has been found. Thorpe's birth is generally considered to have taken place on May 28, 1888^[1] near the town of Prague, Oklahoma.^[3] Jacobus Franciscus Thorpe is the name on his christening (baptismal) certificate.

His parents were of mixed descent. His father, Hiram Thorpe, had an Irish father and a Sac and Fox Indian mother, while his mother, Charlotte Vieux, had a French father and a Native American mother. Thorpe was raised as a Sac and Fox, and his native name was Wa-Tho-Huk, translated as "A path lighted by a great flash of lightning" or more simply "Bright Path".^[2] As was the custom for Sac and Fox, Thorpe was named for something occurring around the time of his birth, in this case the sunlight brightening the path to the cabin where he was born.

Herbie wuz here Tuesday, February 24, 2004 Project Number: What do you expect of a live fire exercise at the end of the fiscal year, ammunition?

OTTAWA - When Herbie served with the Canadian Army as a private, his antics regularly landed him in newspapers. 'Herbie wuz here' graffiti marked the path of the Canadian advance in 1944. -- National Archives of Canada/1992-604-66 Created by cartoonist William "Bing" Coughlin, the heroic, chinless Herbie became a popular icon at the front in the Second World War. By the end of the war Herbie was appearing in at least 30 daily newspapers across Canada in addition to the Maple Leaf. Troops voted him "Canadian Man of the Year" in 1944, and "Herbie wuz here" graffiti marked the path of the Canadian advance. Herbie came to be so identified with the Canadian infantry private, that Canadian soldiers became known as "Herbies." 'Maybe we should'a painted out the crosses first!' -- National Archives of Canada/1992-604-66 Then, as now, cartoons and caricatures poked fun at the human condition. It was at just such moments that the cartoonist's commentary on military life and discipline often brought a chuckle that relieved tension. Things would often be so bad that, as the saying goes - you had to laugh! Bing Coughlin William "Bing" Coughlin, Member of the Order of the British Empire, was born in Ottawa and saw action in Sicily with the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards. He later served as cartoonist with the Maple Leaf. http://www.army.gc.ca/lf/English/6_1_1.asp?id=99 ~~~http://www.kilroywashere.org/001-Pages/01-0KilroySightings-2.html
