Will the weirdness ever end in the sectarian struggles within La Raza Unida Party (the faction controlled by Xenaro and Libertad Ayala) and their allies in the Brown Beret National Organization (BBNO)?
L to R: Juanito Burns, Jeronimo Blanco y un otro BBNO member
Apparently in response to my blogging about BBNO and LRUP, I get this cryptic email from somebody’s primo in Arizona. Here are the background blogs:

For new readers who’ve just seen the long and drawn out story of the cult-like behavior and delusional thinking (in which LRUP claimed to be the “government” of Aztlan and BBNO being the “army” of Aztlan), consider the latest communique I’ve received. Today’s email from somebody claiming to be the primo of somebody who’s just been purged from BBNO sends me the above photo of Juanito Burns, Jeronimo Blanco, and another unidentified BBNO member, claiming that one or more of the people in the photo have been thrown out of the group along with about a dozen other members.
Iosif Dzhugashvili aka Joseph Stalin
This reminds me a lot of my cousin (I’m genetically related to him on my father’s side according to my DNA) Joseph Stalin’s purges of the Soviet Red Army shortly before World War II. My paranoid cousin winds up killing off almost the entire leadership of the Red Army, leading to a disastrous war with Finland that convinced Adolf Hitler that the Soviet military leadership was so inept that he could get away with his Operation Barbarossa invasion of Russia. About 20-25 million Soviet citizens died as a result.
With the so-called "Democratic Centralist" philosophy of the LRUP/BBNO alliance, should this be their flag?
This apparent purge-unless somebody’s pulling my leg-raises some new interesting questions for the BBNO and LRUP:
1. Since normal polities have civilian control of the military instead of the military controlling the civilians (not that it doesn’t happen, but when it does, such a polity is known as a “military dictatorship”), were these purges authorized by LRUP’s Presidente Xenaro Ayala and the cabinet of his “government?”
2. My own father as a civilian employee of the United States Army Air Corps during and after World War II, in the days before the legalization of public employee unions, was purged out of government service (along with about 5,000 other Americans) under President Truman’s Executive Order 9835 (March 21, 1947) without any semblance of due process. Had he been a sworn member of the armed services he would have been entitled to a court martial with significant due process guarantees. So my question is, what due process rights are guaranteed to “soldiers” and “officers” of the BBNO in the “Democratic Centralist” government and army of Aztlan? Do they get a defense lawyer (as in the Judge Advocate General’s — JAG — office)? Do they get a trial by a jury of impartial officers? Is the assigned prosecutor impartial and bound to respect the rights of the accused?
Inquiring minds want to know….
Inquiring minds also want to know whether this email is a hoax or not and if it’s ‘for reals,’ I want to know who got purged and why (not to mention, where, when and how), so if any of my readers know, let me in on the secret….
About Jan Tucker
The Detectives Diary is an innovative tool combining Private Investigation and Journalism. In 1984, Steve Harvey's Los Angeles Times "Around the Southland" Column entitled Jan Tucker's program of providing low-cost "Opposition Research" services to indigent and working class candidates for public office, "Take Cover: Hired Mudslinger Rides into Town." A 1996 Los Angeles Times article by Henry Chu carried a sub-headline identifying Tucker as a "P.R. Guru." In November 2012, Tucker became Criminal Justice Columnist for Counter Punch Magazine and a commentator for Black Talk Radio.
As a private investigator since 1979 and a former First Vice President of Newspaper Guild Local 69, Tucker takes these skills to a new level in the pages of the Detectives Diary with insightful and unique exposures and analysis of history and current events.
