Coup d’état Underway at Minuteman Project

Rogue Band of Scoundrels Plot to Remove Jim Gilchrist and Put Themselves in Power

The plan to oust Jim Gilchrist, Founder and Chairman of the Minuteman Project is underway. Thousands of Minuteman members and supporters across the USA are pledging their support for Jim and will not stand by while these impostors try to destroy Jim and the entire Minuteman Project. Jim Gilchrist is bringing this cabal of three formerly trusted advisors to court and he is taking legal action against them…

Dear Friends, as you know I am also the WebMaster for Jim Gilchrist and the Minuteman Project [MMP]. See below my latest MMP email. I am asking you to forward this information everywhere and ask others to pass it on as well. Upload it to message boards, and post it on websites. We need your help to let the world know about these shameful, greed-driven and downright diabolical conspirators.

As always, for the Cause – Linda

PS — Within the last few minutes they also hacked into our MMP website and took control of it. For now, stay tuned to our www.forthecause.us site for MMP news and updates.

Dear Minutemen,

Yes it is true. Several people who Jim Gilchrist fully trusted have put their pursuit of money and power above the Cause. They conspired to remove Jim Gilchrist as head of the Minuteman Project and insert themselves in positions of power in the organization.

Who are these individuals?

Deborah Peterson – AKA Deborah Courtney
Marvin Stewart – a quasi-Minister and government worker
Barbara Coe – California Coalition for Immigration Reform

I am still stunned. Did they really think that all of us would just roll over and let this happen?

See the press release below and please note the following about these three individuals:

1. Using stolen passwords they hacked into our Web Servers and changed the passwords for several of our accounts.

2. They took control of all our Minuteman Project email addresses. As of right now, all email sent to anyone @minutemanproject.com goes to these corporate raiders. We are forced to use our personal email addresses until this is resolved in court. You can contact us at:

Linda Muller [WebMaster] – lindamuller@forthecause.us
Jim Gilchrist [MMP Founder]- century21minuteman@sbcglobal.net
Tim Bueler [Media] – media@timbueler.com

3. It also looks like they might have stolen our email list. If you, as a member of the Minuteman Project email list, receive email claiming it is from the MMP, from anyone other than me, Tim or Jim, please remember it is bogus.

4. They stole over 20,000 pages of our letterhead stationery and envelopes bearing Jim Gilchrist’s personal signature. Needless to say if you receive any letters in the mail that seem out of character, you will know they are from this band of devious conspirators.

5. As of right now they have been unable to hack into our website – we still have full control over it. Tommy Crenshaw, who manages our system, is keeping watch on it round the clock. He says they are using sophisticated hacking tools to try and break into the Web Server. Thus far he has been able to thwart their incessant attempts to break in. Again, if you notice content on the website that seems out of character, you can assume that they were successful in taking over our website. If that happens, stay tuned to my personal website at www.forthecause.us for updates.

For now I just wanted to make sure you know about our email addresses and the stolen stationery so you will not be confused if you are contacted by them. I will be writing up much more on this over the next few days and posting it on the www.minutemanproject.com and the www.forthecause.us websites… and also emailing it to several lists.

Please help Jim Gilchrist and the Minuteman Project by sending this information across the USA. Post it on websites. Upload it to message boards and chat rooms.

I for one will be damned if I will stand quietly by while Deborah Peterson [AKA Deborah Courtney], Marvin Stewart and Barbara Coe try to steal the Minuteman Project from Jim Gilchrist. How about you?

As always, For the Cause – Linda
And still the Minuteman Project Webmaster!

Minuteman Founder Under Attack by Internal Terrorists

Press Release – The Minuteman Project – February 27, 2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
27 February 2007

CONTACT: Tim Bueler
Office: (310) 855-3460
Cell: (530) 401-3285
media@timbueler.com

For years, Jim Gilchrist had been concerned about the illegal alien invasion of America, which is so evident in southern California. On September 11, 2001, as he watched the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, he was outraged that these terrorist-murderers were mostly illegal aliens, here on expired visas.

Three years later, the government had done nothing to secure the borders, and Jim Gilchrist decided that letters and phone calls to politicians clearly weren’t enough. On October 1, 2004 he founded The Minuteman Project and launched a recruiting program that called together patriotic Americans to stand watch on the borders, report to the Border Patrol, and try to stem the tide of illegal aliens and terrorists who daily, in the thousands, infiltrate America. With about 1,200 volunteers from every state in the union Gilchrist and his hand-picked co-organizers successfully conducted the largest Minuteman assembly since 1776.

For his efforts, Gilchrist, a wounded combat Marine veteran and retired CPA, has been routinely attacked by the usual suspects: special interests, pro-unrestricted immigration groups, amnesty supporters, drug lords, and others, in and out of government.

Now Jim Gilchrist is under attack from a different sort of terrorist: covert subversives who managed to gain Gilchrist’s trust, only to breach that trust by attempting to kidnap the organization he founded. Gilchrist has effectively led The Minuteman Project since its inception, but according to the propaganda voiced by these brazen corporate raiders, Gilchrist is a bad guy. These hostile corporate raiders claim they are taking over The Minuteman Project to “save” it.

Save it? Hijack and take it over, is a more apt description, says Steve Eichler, the Minuteman Project’s Executive Director. He supports Gilchrist and is outraged at the high-handed manner in which a gang of isolated insiders have moved to oust Gilchrist.

Deborah Courtney, Marvin Stewart, and Barbara Coe have all been trusted confidantes, said Eichler, and it is devastating to Jim and me, personally, to realize that they have been covertly manipulating to take over the Minuteman Project.

Courtney, Stewart and Coe claim that they are the Minuteman Project, by virtue of them having voted Gilchrist off the Project’s so-called board of directors, a board that never existed.

That’s pretty funny, says Eichler. The Minuteman Project is incorporated under Delaware law, and Jim is the only corporate officer. There is no board, so just how is it that three supposed board members meet secretly and vote off the founder and president, then vote to give themselves access to the bank accounts and withdraw money? What will they claim next, that Marvin L. Stewart is the president of the United States in an attempt to oust the president from the White House?

These people were simply confidantes and a board of advisors, explained Gilchrist. They were not a decision-making corporate board. Even if the seven-person board they claim to have been a part of existed, how could three people, who couldn’t even constitute a quorum, meet secretly without notifying the others, and take any sort of legal action?

There is also the question of bank fraud, adds Eichler. Deborah Courtney, Marvin Stewart, and another person went to the bank with bogus paperwork, seized the Project’s bank account and withdrew Minuteman Project funds, causing the Project’s outstanding checks to bounce. We’re not talking about a simple policy disagreement, here. This is white collar crime, and we intend to pursue it as such.

An Orange County Times article (Ousted Minuteman Leader Seeks Court Remedy, by Jennifer Dilson, Feb 27, 2007) refers to the non-existent board of directors having ousted Gilchrist, and refers to Gilchist’s claim that the renegade board had stolen 20,000 letterhead stationery and envelopes bearing Gilchrist’s personal signature, had hacked into the Minuteman Project’s website, and had stolen money from the Project s bank accounts (about $4,000, according to Gilchrist, who filed a criminal report of theft with the Orange County Sheriff), and had diverted money from other sources. Gilchrist plans to meet with investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation next week to discuss any federal criminal violations that may have been perpetrated by the takeover collaborators.

Gilchrist is concerned that Courtney, Stewart and Coe will use the stolen Minuteman Project materials, including access to the Project s mailing list, to send out bogus appeals for funds. Our supporters are dedicated patriots. They don’t deserve to be deceived by bogus fund-raising appeals, says a concerned Gilchrist.

Attorneys for both sides presented their case Feb 26 to Orange County Judge Randell L. Wilkinson. This morning the court ruled in Gilchrist’s favor by expediting the matter and setting a court date for a formal hearing on March 21 at 1:30 PM in Santa Ana Superior Court.
