Marxist Award-Winning CA Teacher Calls For Armed Resistance Against ICE Agents

For those that are new here, California Globe editor Katy Grimes and I have covered the Reconquista-MEChA-La Raza movement in California state politics and the state school system for years. With the advancements of social media, citizen journalism, and artificial intelligence, the ability to follow the money and the Chicano marxist saboteurs tied to the funding has thankfully spawned a new and widespread interest in the deep-seated rot within our communities, politics and the “progressive” education system.

It always makes any investigative journalist’s job easier when the hubris of the anti-American activists outweigh their lengths to conceal their funders and seditious goals.

Enter Ron Gochez, a teacher at Dr. Maya Angelou Community High School, a California Teacher’s Association “Human Rights Award” winner, and a spokesman of Unión del Barrio, a Chicano marxist revolutionary political organization. With all due respect to Fox News, Unión del Barrio is much, much more than a mere “Anti-ICE” organization as they reported yesterday. (see below)

WOW. Anti-ICE protester in LA issues a threat to ICE agents, saying ICE is "not the only ones with guns."

During an ICE protest in Los Angeles after an illegal Mexican national and an ICE officer were caught in a Marxist uprising and shot during a protest, Gochez tells his comrades:

“Don’t forget where you’re standing. This is South Central Los Angeles,” he said. “They [ICE] are not the only ones with guns in this city. Don’t forget that. And I don’t say that because I’m calling for violence; I’m saying that because the people have every right to defend themselves against masked, unidentified gunmen. The people have every right to defend themselves,” he added. “That’s not violent. That’s intelligent.”

Openly threatening violence on federal officers is not intelligent but possibly criminal, according to the Trump administration’s Department of Justice and Homeland Security.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the agency will be referring Gochez’s remarks to the Justice Department.

“These comments by a schoolteacher telling agitators to ‘not forget [ICE] are not the only ones with guns in this city’ and referring to law enforcement as ‘terrorists’ and ‘masked kidnappers’ are unhinged. Calling for violence against law enforcement is un-American and beneath the conduct of someone teaching the next generation of Americans. This looks criminal and we will be referring him to the DOJ.”

The Los Angeles Unified School District also weighed in and said they would investigate the matter. We won’t hold our breath.

In 2017, Katy Grimes and I wrote a series, entitled: “Chicano Marxists Prepare for Battle With The Trump Administration,” subtitled, “California Marxists ramping up destabilization of the Golden State.”

We write:

MEChA is a Hispanic separatist organization (400 chapters nationwide) that encourages anti-American activities, civil disobedience, and romanticizes Mexican claims to the “lost Territories” of California and the Southwestern United States, in a Chicano country called “Aztlan.”

The official national symbol of MEChA is an eagle holding a machete-like weapon and a stick of dynamite. The Fabian Society and Fabian Socialism uses the teachings of John Maynard Keynes as their catechism of political economy. Like Marxism, it embraced the idea of a Communist Utopia, where the State owned everything and controlled every aspect of the public’s lives. They have installed Fabian Socialism and Keynesism as the new faith, both in the universities and in government bureaucracy.

They use illegal immigrants as messengers of their ideology, demeaning patriotism, and the destruction of America. They have manipulated the political process so that only those candidates well-versed in Marxism receive the attention of the corporate media.

In 1981, Unión del Barrio was established with a mission to eliminate U.S. borders due to western “imperialism” and organize for a revolution to dismantle the United States.

In their downloadable political program (see below), they explicitly call for revolutionary violence to overthrow the U.S. and local governments.

They will violently fight for “Nuestra América” which in English translation means “Our America.” Additionally, they provide their own glossary of terms for their marxist overthrow of the United States:

Nuestra América – Nuestra América refers to the peoples of North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean. The concept includes all peoples that are share a common anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, and anti-capitalist history, struggle, and destiny. The unity of Nuestra América will be necessary to overturn the manifestations of colonial, imperialist, and neoliberal oppression, and the liberation of La Raza within the current borders of the United States will, and must, be tied to the liberation of all indigenous people, and Latin American nations. UdB upholds this concept because it recognizes our possible collective power within the United States – as a significant force to resisting United States interventionism in Latin America, and towards achieving independent political power inside the current borders of the U.S. Nuestra América therefore promotes the general unity of UdB with progressive forces in Mexico and all of Nuestra América.

The funding for this organization is purposefully difficult to track. Yet, their seditious and treasonous mission is public thanks to their organization and their spokesman Ron Gochez.

In the words of Dr. Maya Angelou, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” This isn’t the first time, and only the Trump administration can ensure that it is the last.
