Shawna Forde has been exposed as a liar. After her ex-husband was shot, she claimed she was raped and shot by a Mexican Drug Cartel and it was connected to her work as a Minuteman. Now, in this expose, HeraldNet.com reports Forde finally confesses these crimes may have actually been committed by friends of her son who is currently in prison. This expose also provides details into Forde's very troubled life, her mental instability and criminal past.Heraldnet.com reports:
Trouble finds Shawna Forde - Border activist at center of recent spate of violence
EVERETT -- An Everett woman who attracted national attention by suggesting Mexican drug cartels targeted her for a series of violent attacks now acknowledges she told police they ought to look closer to home for suspects -- including among her own son's friends. Shawna Forde, 41, said she is convinced there are links between the Dec. 22 shooting of her ex-husband at their north Everett home, her reported rape and beating at the same house a week later, and an attack on Jan. 15 in a nearby alley that left her with apparent gunshot wounds to her right arm...(the police) investigation should focus on local street toughs who until last summer were burglarizing Everett-area homes and trafficking in stolen firearms. One member of the ring was Forde's own son, Devon Duffey, 19. He went to prison in October and now is serving more than two years at the state penitentiary in Walla Walla for being a felon in possession of firearms, records show.
..Forde's ex-husband declined to be interviewed for this story. He was home alone when ambushed by a narrow-faced stranger dressed in khaki-colored clothing...Forde said it is ridiculous for anyone to think she had anything to do with her ex-husband's shooting. The attack occurred roughly two weeks after she returned to Everett from a three-month stretch engaged in Minuteman border operations. "If I was going to do something like that I would have done it while I was in Arizona," Forde said.
Troubled Life:
...Forde said she has been diagnosed with attachment disorder...restraining order against her..felony forgery charges..four marriages...On March 20, 2007, three young men (including her son) showed up at the beauty salon on Colby where Forde worked. One pulled a baseball bat from under his jacket and clobbered the man who owns the salon. The victim required hospital treatment to close his head wounds (son now in prison)...(Forde convicted of )chocolate milk shoplifting...
Forde said she knows her background is unconventional but said she's not worried that it may affect her ability to work with other Minutemen in combatting illegal immigration and drug smuggling.

Dear Dee :
ReplyDeleteThis fear of Latino has something to do with drugs :
The War on Drugs and an Angry Lady with an Arsenal at Home.
A Lady from the National Rifle Association that wants to discipline me and several countries of Latin America.
I have recieved tons of Hate Mail, because of my blogs and because of the liberal or human rights comments that I sometimes post in friendly sites. I do not go to the Right Wing Websites, or to the Racist Websites, because I consider them a perfect waste of time.
The Hate mail does not diminish when I say that I consider the Two Wars of Iraq and Afghanistan as great Imbecilities and Failures for the American Interests.
At the moment that you receive a hate comment, you get very angry and reject or erase it, so it is not published. But several months later you think that it is funny to live in the same World that many idiots.
The Lady from the National Rifle Association said that the USA should invade all the Latin American Nations that produce drugs, and confiscate their riches, mines, properties and assets. The purpose of that dispossession is that it will pay for the rehabilitation of all Americans that are in drugs, now, or to indemnify those that have been under drugs.
The Lady said that she had the best assault rifles in her House, and the best weaponry to curb Latino Invasions and all that crap.
It is funny to think of more Overextension and Overstretching of Military Resources, at a time when even the Afghanistan Escalation of Mr Obama is not popular.
****************************
Mexico is not going to fall
****************************
It is obvious that Mexico is not going to fall or fail, and that it is a perfect strong and solid state.
Weaker and more backward countries like Colombia, Peru and Bolivia have not become failed states, even if the States fight the Drug Lords.
Look at the case of Colombia and how it defeated the Drug Lords, and now they are atomized and many of them in U. S. prisons or in tombs.
I like and love Mr Obama and his Democratic Party. And I pray for his success in stopping the Economic Slowdown and avoiding a Depression, I wish Good Luck to Obama in economic matters.. I also pray for an end to the slaughter in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But the Proliferation of Racists and Jingos in Hate TV and Radio do not help the difficult task of Mr Obama. They are also anti stimulus package.

Vicente,
ReplyDeleteThat woman is no lady. She is angry and full of hate.
Because we write Humanitarian Blogs, the haters continue to fill our mailboxes. It goes with the territory.
Their hate is their oly response.
I feel sorry for them.
Your love for your fellow human, regardless of legal status, makes you a caring person. You display true humanitarianism for your own fellow countrymen and to all global citizens who are worthy of dignity and justice. Altough you have many hateful racist commenting on your site, you remain positive. You are keeping it real!
ReplyDeleteGilcrist posted he is backing Shawna.
ReplyDelete"Despite Shawna Forde's checkered past, here is a woman who really has been a "victim" throughout her life, perhaps willingly, perhaps unwillingly. To have come through the trials and uncertainties of adolescence and young adulthood with odds stacked against you, and to have overcome those odds, is a statement of her willingness to ultimately do the right thing.
..In my experience with Ms. Forde I conclude that she is no whiner. She is a stoic struggler who has chosen to put country, community, and a yearning for a civilized society ahead of avarice and self-glorifying ego.
The Minuteman Project is proud to be a supporter of Shawna Forde's Minutemen(women) American Defense (M.A.D.)"

part 1:
"And, as if that was not enough punishment for my good deeds, some immigration reform groups who jealously hate one
of my supporters, Jim Gilchrist and his Minuteman Project, began an internet frenzy claiming that I and Gilchrist had made
up all of the violence brought upon me and my husband. Despite police and hospital reports, including witnesses, ice-
hearted, downright mean groups like ALIPAC, the San Diego Minutemen (SDMM), Save Our State (SOS), Minuteman Civil
Defense Corps (MCDC),and the California Coalition for Immigration Reform (CCIR) tried to make a national joke out of my
predicament. These hostile elements of the minuteman movement are so envious and hateful toward Jim Gilchrist’s
Minuteman Project that they literally hate me because of the support I give to the Minuteman Project.
I have this to say to the criminal illegal alien and drug cartels, AND to the self-glorifying phony minuteman movement
patriots who deliberately brought harm to me, my family, my character, and my home:
You can beat me, rape me, stab me, shoot me, shoot my husband, kick my cat, slander me, maliciously defame me with your personal vendettas, and put me in a public square and cast stones. But, I will stay the course and continue this fight
to stop the invasion of the United States by illegal aliens and their criminal cartel counterparts with every ounce of strength and conviction I have."
part 2 from Shawnas statement:
ReplyDelete"Gilchrist and his team have done more in four years to resolve the illegal immigration nightmare than all of these groups
combined could do in a hundred years. And they hate Gilchrist for that. They have put their mood-swings, and their greed
to lure in naïve financial donors, before the mission of saving the country. Their actions are simply despicable, and they
will be the reason amnesty for millions of illegal aliens could very well happen soon.
The M.A.D Project is again building recon missions to launch in April. All “Level 4” security clearances will go to a
designated site for base camp and operation SOP. Border operations will also be back in full, effective
March 21st. The Minuteman Project (Jim Gilchrist) is supporting our mission by referring prospective volunteers to
several border observation and reporting organizations, including mine, Minutemen(and women) American Defense
(M.A.D.).
See you at the border Semper Fi
Shawna Forde, a patriot on a mission, not on a mood swing.

THIS WOMAN IS NOT ONLY ADMITTEDLY UNSTABLE, IF SHE AND HER FOLLOWERS GO ON THE BORDER FOR HER RECON MISSIONS WITH WEAPONS AND ALCOHOL AGAIN, SHE IS A TERRORIST THREAT TO OUR NATION!
Definitely a case of PMS (Poor Me Syndrome)

Form your own opinion.
In my opinion, the stupid smirk on her face as if she thinks she is putting something over on the public is proof enough for me.
I am tired of hearing about this immature, emotionally unbalanced publicity whore.
ReplyDeleteMexico Collapses and Sinks, according to Hate TV and Hate Radio that are a beautiful business gathering millions of fools and ignorants that believe the crap and got emotioned and manipulated.
ReplyDeleteAnd at the same time there is a boom of American Tourists going to Mexico. This is according to Bloomberg :
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601086&sid=a.pWsXIi4jdM&refer=latin_america
"Tourists Spent $13.3 Billion in Mexico in 2008 (Update1)
By Hugh Collins
Feb. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Foreign tourists spent $13.3 billion in Mexico last year, an increase of 3.4 percent compared with 2007.
Mexico had 22.6 million foreign tourists in 2008, a 5.9 percent gain from a year before, the tourism ministry said today in an e-mailed statement. The average amount spent by each tourist was $760.60."
Probably the American Tourists bound for Mexico belong to a better educated class and to a richer class than the customers of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, Bill O'Reilly, Laura Ingraham, etc .. and other merchants of Hate.

Why are you tired of her anonymous?
ReplyDeleteShe is the face, the voice, the role model of the anti hispanic movement!
You should be proud of her and her desire to rid Amerika of all those nasty immigrants!
She is an anti's wet dream!
Neither she nor most Americans are anti-hispanic. This is about illegal immigration. No one is trying to rid this country of "immigrants". But those illegally in our country need to be deported. Are you another one who doesn't know the difference between legal and illegal?
ReplyDeleteActually Anon,
ReplyDeleteForde holds a high office in the ranks of a national minuteman organization. She is also supported by Jim Gilchrist, again, a chief spokesperson for the minutemen and a member of former presidential candidate's team. Gilchrist has come out formally to support her.
If a nationally recognized PRO spokesperson did these same acts, you can bet Dobbs and Beck and alipac and other groups would be posting it on their front page every day!
The MM organization split up into two different groups. Gilchrist and Simcox had two different views. Forde is on the Gilchrist side and neither one of them speak for the Simcox side. So don't mix the two groups anymore.
ReplyDeleteActually anon,
ReplyDeleteYour comments should go to the high profile Forde.
She is the one proclaiming she speaks for ALL minutemen.
Did you see the irrational letter she emailed to all the ANTI movement leaders, including Gheen?
It is horrifying.
I will provide it in my next comment.
Blame her!!
Here is the letter she sent to Gheen and others. Gheen put it on his Alipac website:
ReplyDeleteAs we are dealing with the the most horrendous economic collapse of our country
and struggle with daily decision's over basic needs, Illegal aliens our
collecting our benefits and closing down our medical centers. Taking our jobs
and our childrens education and demanding from us more, more and more!!
Our Borders are not secured and now with civil unrest in Mexico that leaves our
Americans along the southern border unprotected to await assault at any given
moment and a flood of illegals at any given moment and the daily threat brought
on by drug cartel.
Let me state very clearly to all:
I will not be taken off our objective or the goal of all pissed off Americans
wich is to secure these borders and deport every man, woman, child that is a
illegal alien and blaze a path toward those who aide and abet these foreign
invaders to further destroy this great nation that is my oath!!
You can beat me, rape me, stab me, shoot me, shoot my husband, kick my cat
HOLD MY PAST AGAINST ME, slander me, gossip, blog, report put me in public
square stripe me naked and cast stones while I bleed from head to toe.
I will stay the course and lead in this fight with every once of strength and
conviction I have I will not waist it on matters that do not pertain to this
very mission.
It is time for Americans to lock and load.
The M.A.D Project is teaming up recon missions starting in April all level 4
security clearance go to designated site for base camp and operation SOP.
Assault riffles AND LONG ARMS REQUIRED FOR LEVEL 4 MISSIONS.
Border operation's will also be back in full affect effective March 21st.
This is up to every American to fight for the future of this country you can
not sit back and expect the government to solve this. it will take everyone to
get involved and to assist our local law enforcement, and border patrol agents.
It is a enormous project to defend America But were M.A.D as hell and not
going to take it anymore.
Knock me down as much as you want I will get up every time and stronger for
the fall.
See you at the border

(scroll down to the bottom of the page)
This insane maniac, saying she is representing ALL on yours side, is planning on going back to the borders very soon with all of her supporters.
ReplyDeleteHere is this insane maniac's scariest line:
"It is time for Americans to lock and load."
Where does Forde state that she represents both the Gilchrist MM side and the MCDC headed by Simcox? WHERE?
ReplyDeleteAside from her "lock and load" remark, (I don't condone violence by citizens ) she is right on about our borders needing to be secured and for the reasons that she stated. That is no way means that I agree with her about other things or that she might be a bit of a nutcase otherwise.
Anon,
ReplyDeleteHere letter was to the ANTI Reformer Leaders, including all of the MM leaders, the SDMM, Simcox, Gheen of Alipac, SOS and others. She sent this to them across the board. She is clearly saying she represents all and her Lock and Load comment was sent to ALL of them. ALL!
So by her sending her letter to everyone, that means that they echo (agree with) her sentiments? She has never been a member of MCDC. She can say all she wants and contact anyone she wants to but that doesn't mean that they agree with her.
ReplyDeleteHere is William Gheen's exact words about what Forde claimed about bodily harm. Doesn't sound like he was ready to believe her, now does it? He even stated that most have never even heard of her or her group MAD.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the source on this information?
Where is the newspaper article or police report? What is the source link?
Why is everyone here at alipac assuming this information is legitimate when there is no source link, source indicated, newspaper article, or police report?
Perhaps something here has happened, but I do know two things.
One, most of you have never heard of this woman or her supposed group before and two, this story is completely unverified.
W
And here are the responses to Forde's letter in ALIPAC. The members were non-supportive of her!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.alipac.us/ftopic-141903-75.html
Anon,
ReplyDeleteI dont blame you and alipac for disowning her.
But as I said, she is the one with the national attention right now saying she is your side's spokesperson. She is the one sending out the email to your side's leadership, including Gheen. He posted the very letter on the link you provided. Look in the middle of the page.
I am aware that Mr. Gheen posted her letter in ALIPAC but that doesn't mean he agrees with her. In fact the comments prove otherwise. You have posted her comments in your blog. Does that mean you agree with her? See what I mean?
ReplyDeleteMore from Mr. Gheen in regards to this matter.
ReplyDelete"We banned this Patriotfive right away for violating two alipac rules in their first of two posts here at ALIPAC.
We do not know who Patriotfive is but if I had to guess it is either Jim Gilchrist, Steve Eichler, Shawna Forde, or one of their few remaining spookies."
Still think that she represents most anti's or the MCDC?
Anon,
ReplyDeleteI said from the beginning that William opposed her. I said I didnt blame you or alipac for disowning her.
I said she has national attention right now and SHE is making herself out to be an ANTI leader.
I have already been in contact with friends at the ATF and two of my neighbors who are with the PGI and Mexican Attorney Generals Investigators.
ReplyDeleteI have high hopes that these loony toons will have an unwelcome reception when they arrive on the border for their "Level 4" Mexican hunt!
Again, who cares what she says or claims to be. Violence is not part of the real anti movement.
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteYou were right. Look at the letter William Gheen just put out to all the ANTI leaders about Forde. Apparently both Gilchrist and Shawna are both on his Naughty List.
Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:30 am Post subject: ALIPAC: Jim Gilchrist Minuteman Project Damages Escalate
Allied Leaders,
Thank you for your previous understanding and response to our advisory not to circulate the suspicious story and photos released by Jim Gilchrist's Minuteman Project officer, Shawna Forde. After we advised you about problems with Shawna's credibility, story, and photos most groups in our movement stopped promoting her claims, except for Shawna's own group and Jim Gilchrist's Minuteman Project.
Shawna Forde is the MMP 'Border Operations Organizer' for Jim Gilchrist according to claims we found online and appears to be a member of his inner circle, along with Steve Eichler and the few other activists who remain with MMP, despite the groups beleaguered reputation and Gilchrist's continued bizarre and damaging behavior.
This e-mail is to inform you that some of our worst fears are now confirmed in the media and the damage to our movement is getting worse.
Despite new revelations that there are major problems with Shawna's story, that she is refusing to fully cooperate with police, has an extensive criminal record, has made outlandish claims in the past, proclaims she has mental illness and disorders, has made false claims to the media, etc...
Jim Gilchrist is standing by Shawna Forde and her story!
While most of our groups and leaders are working hard to screen our members and do our best to give Americans who support our cause some quality assurance, Gilchrist recruited and gave a position of authority to this woman, has promoted and circulated her claims, and continues to publicly support her, despite the escalating revelations about Shawna's current and past troubles.
If anyone knows any activist or movement supporter who is still supporting Jim Gilchrist or Minuteman Project, despite this destructive insanity exuding from MMP, please send this information to them and ask them to STOP!
The illegal immigration supporting opposition is going to have a field day with this and thanks to Jim Gilchrist's failure to either properly screen his officers or care and his continued failure to distance himself from Shawna Forde, we can all expect to hear much more about this incredible case far into the future!
We need leaders and activists who exercise discretion with their associations and endorsements and not people that willingly work with and support convicted felons, with mental disorders who won't talk to police, when someone attempts to murder the husband they are divorcing, while at the same time advocating people take assault weapons to the border!
Jim Gilchrist and Minuteman Project are facilitating a PR disaster for our movement and it needs to STOP!
All efforts to reason with Jim Gilchrist by other leaders and activists on these matters have failed to have any impact on him.
