Jim Gilchrist Further Defames Self - Files Defamation Lawsuits Against Enforcement Proponents

jim-gilchrist.jpg
Well, well, well how far do you have to go to totally make yourself look like an ass? Back in September, 2005 I supported Jim Gilchrist's run for congress. Since that time I covered numerous of his appearances. The man was so outspoken that I devoted a whole category of coverage just to him in the James Gilchrist Archives.

At the time he was a leader in the movement, spurring the formation of the Minuteman Project. Some in the movement who don't pay attention may still view him in that light, but let me clue you into a few things that have happened since then behind the scenes that you may not be familiar with. And trust me I have been more than fair in giving Gilchrist the benefit of the doubt throughout all of this, but enough is enough and the truth needs to be stated.

First of all there was a struggle for power of the Minuteman Project as Gilchrist was charged with allegedly embezzling funds or fraud or somesuch, I'm not exactly certain on all of that. The project was wrested from his hands by people who were watching what he was doing. At the time I said nothing not wanting to get involved and not having all the facts. Since then Gilchrist has been erratic. He's been sending out hate mail to leaders in the movement and those who cover illegal immigration on a daily basis and are actively in the fight for the sovereignty of our country.

Gilchrist then went on to make the strange move of endorsing Mike Huckabee for president. Huckabee of course is a pro illegal alien supporter as demonstrated by his actions as governor of Arkansas. There was a gasp throughout the enforcement movement at this very weird action by a man formerly respected by many. The motivation of the endorsement seems to be money or power, nobody is quite sure. He then went on to make appearances with Huckabee touting his stance on immigration as security first.

Those in the movement who questioned him were lambasted with hateful emails from Jim Gilchrist calling them traitors and people who don't really care about illegal immigration or this country. Basically he was saying people like myself are in it for ulterior motives, when it was clear that the only one with ulterior motives was Gilchrist himself. Gilchrist himself has not actively set up a rally or covered illegal immigration for a long time. All of the rallies he has spoken at recently were organized by others - with their own time and money - with him just showing up to appear. yet these same people he then calls traitors.

Just days ago Gilchrist went out to the border where Minuteman volunteers were patrolling the southern border and brought a news crew with him. These men and women have been out there for 2 years as volunteers watching the border, all while Gilchrist was off doing other things and promoting himself. I personally am not sure how much time Gilchrist has actually spent on the border, but it surely wasn't as long as these true patriots. These patriots were not happy to see him show up. Watch the video below to see how Gilchrist was received and how Gilchrist reacts to the patriots questioning his lack of physical presence.


So now Gilchrist has totally alienated himself from everyone in the movement except the few who still seem to have blinders on and in a desperate act to blame others, Gilchrist has now decided to file a defamation lawsuit against 100 patriots in the movement that he claims have damaged his reputation.

On April 16, 2008 the first of the summons for the lawsuits were received by Brook Young of Immigration Watchdog, Chelene Nightingale of Save Our State, Barbara Coe of CCIR, Minuteman Project Treasurer Deborah Courtney, and Minuteman Project President Marvin Stewart.

In the summons, of which you can find at this entry at Immigration Watchdog, it is noted below the individuals named above an additional "and Does 1-100 inclusive". These are people in the movement he has not tracked down yet that have spoken bad about him or pointed out truths about him that they disagree with.

I contest that the only defamation that has occurred against Jim Gilchrist has been done by Jim Gilchrist himself. If you run around acting like an ass to people who believed in you, if you allegedly embezzle funds, if you endorse people who are against everything you say you believe in for your own self interests, you will lose your reputation by your own hand.

It really is a shame, as I at one time felt that Gilchrist was a good man trying to do right by this country. It has now become increasingly clear that this is not the case. I will be awaiting my summons from Gilchrist for pointing out the obvious and for at one time being a supporter of his, because those are the people he has singled out to attack directly and financially with this frivolous lawsuit.

There is much more on Gilchrist and this lawsuit and commentary over at Brook Young's website Immigration Watchdog. Be sure to check it out as I don't have even half of what Brook has on this traitor to the enforcement movement.

You can also support the individuals currently named for their defense. (I'll try to get the remaining defendants donation info)

Dear Diggers Realm,

Hanging the innocent is not the pathway to truth or justice. Your nonsensical tirades attempting to convince a naive audience of a couple dozen internet groupies that the world is flat and that square pegs fit into round holes compromises your credibility and integrity.

We are nation of laws and those laws apply universally not only to illegal aliens but also to U.S. citizens who violate those laws.

The Minuteman Project will not associate with witch hunters, racists, law breakers, or those who make an earnest market in hanging the innocent. The support of Diggers Realm is neither needed nor wanted.

The Minuteman Project will continue bringing national awareness to the illegal alien invasion of the United States with or without the sinister interference of those who spend all of their time attempting to disrupt the minuteman movement. How does the deliberate and ignorant braodcasting of lies and propaganda about minutemen and women move the illegal immigration forward in a respectable manner?
Hint: It doesn't.

Jim Gilchrist, Founder and President, the Minuteman Project

Jim, I'm going to continue to speak truthfully about your scams. Frankly, the really shocking stuff has yet to be revealed, because I want it told on video by the parties involved. These are people that EVERYONE in the anti-illegal immigration movement are familiar with. Their names are mentioned almost daily for the past year or so. When the public hears what you have done to them, they will be sickened to death. You need to go back under the rock you crawled out of. You're a morally repulsive mentally ill con man and habitual liar. Go and hide before it get really bad for you.

Wow. I really think Gilcrist is a paranoid shizophrenic! He thinks everybody's out to get him when actuality, if so many people have the same opinion of him, he ought to wake up and wonder WHY that would be. Actions speak louder than words, or lack of action. His endorsement of the Huckster (Huckabee) said it all for me...Huckabee's record is pro illegal, pro open borders and as most of you probably know he got the Mexican Consulate to come to Little Rock so when the illegals are arrested they'll be able to get help quickly through the Consulate. The state of Arkansas charges them a whopping $1.00 a year for rent. Huckabee is a fraud and a liar and anyone in the "movement" who'd endorse him must be of like mind. How sad.

Wow, I wanted to comment on the fact that in the video he immediately starts slandering the man with the moustache and then calls him "racist." That is a half-baked tactic of folks on the other side.

But reading his letter to you makes it even worse. He must be mentally ill. All of us who read your blog know your reporting is great. He slanders you, and us, broadly, vehemently and without substance in every paragraph. Its like he wants to be hated. Very strange, sad and destructive. I kind of feel sorry for the man.

Jim Gilchrist.. where to begin. I came onto the illegal immigration scene right about the time that Simcox and Gilchrist had their falling out. I did not know the paths had separated. I tried to sign up with MM and ended up on Jim's MMP website. I was unable to successfully sign up and then I found Simcox's site and realized they were two different things. A couple of months later I find out that Jim Gilchrist's MMP web site got hacked and several names and addresses of people who signed up were posted on an Indymedia web site by said hacker. How nice. That is about the only thing I got from Jim Gilchrist. My name and address posted a MinuteKlan Scum on an Indymedia web site.

Never did I get an apology for this breach of my information.

Since that time I have watched developments with interest - not sure of the facts but now it has become crystal clear. The evidence against Jim is impossible to deny and it is very sad to see a person make such poor choices and end up like this.

Jim Gilchrist attacks anyone who dares to question him and in so doing, creates even more enemies. The cycle will never stop Jim until you admit your mistakes and transgressions against those in the movement who are actually doing something to effect change.

Case in point - Jim Gilchrist had ZERO participation in the shutting down of the 2007 Amnesty legislation. He had absolutely zero impact yet the people he is attacking did actually have an impact on stopping that "comprehensive" immigration reform - aka amnesty.

One has to wonder if Jim is really working for La Raza because all of his actions seem to be attempting to undermine the very cause he claims to support.

The truth hurts doesn't it Jim?

Seems to me that Jim has been drinking the same "kool aid" that Chris has been drinking...


Posted by: midwest minuteman at April 21, 2008 09:27 PM


And so, big talking Mr. Jim Gilchrist has turned out to be just another faux American against illegal immigration of the type that employ illegal aliens at their construction companies and make citizens pay for their medical benefits, while never passing on the savings to Americans but enriching themselves with illegal alien cheap labor. With Americans like these, who needs enemies? Go away Jim, your'e an embarrasement to the Minutemen/women who have fought so hard to keep this nation from being annexed to Mexico, etc.

From Jim Gilchrist we get:

in the video: "You're a bunch of racist losers."

in the comment section where the video is posted: "Hanging the innocent is not the pathway to truth or justice."

The BALLS on this man!

Jim Gilchrist hurts his cause. That he hurts it so thoroughly makes one wonder just where his true aims and intentions lie.

Let me say this about a female org leader who has stolen the “limelight” from others. She is so frightened of being “upstaged” that she called off a BOA rally To be held in my county, saying the national organizer wanted rallies staged in main cities, yet she aired on her on sos that another member in another county held a successful anti BOA rally. The true reason she did not want our rally held was due to the fact the main videographers at the time and others more active in street protest
had committed to attending the rally in my county.

She has claimed credit for successful rallies she never even attended saying I called so and so (always the name dropper ) to attend the rally, as if to say that was the only reason for the rallies success!

I am not the only one who has valid issues with this particular female org “ Leader."

there are many more, some intimidated by the awful attacks they have witnessed occurring towards Jim, afraid to speak out or so discouraged they are never heard of again.

I gave this woman the benefit of a doubt and she has failed miserably. The sign of a true leader is one who can unite, all this woman has done is to divide and instill hate!

As far as what is being played out on the vid, pure childish namecalling, on both sides!!! I have been at the border and the stories I can tell of some of the stupidiest reasons some of these Ole geezer's use to begin a fight! Thankfully I have met very dedicated men who travel long distances to attend border rallies, some who have vowed never to return after witnessing the childish display of these grown men or choosing more humble men to stand with.

A funny thing happens when you Google the exact phrase, "send a check or money order payable to Brook Young". Everything this guy has ever written has a plea for support. I guess Mr. Young is a hypocrite as well as a liar.


Posted by: Jack Sharpe at May 1, 2008 03:26 AM


Both Jack Sharpe and Perry Emerson now support Marvin Stewart and the rest of the Board of Directors of MMP, as we have learned that Jim Gilchrist is a Criminal Fraud. Stephen Eichler his partner in crime are just a bunch of no good money grubbers. Steve Eichler's 2001 Bankruptcy says "alleged IRS claims from as far back as 1988. These guys are scam artists, hell bent on stealing good honest patriots money, effort and time, that otherwise would go to help solving the problem at the border.
