Question: What do the National Chicken Council, AT&T Corp., the Seattle Police Department, the Petroleum Club of Houston and the Korean Acupuncture Association of Illinois have in common with the infamous Middle Eastern terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi?

Answer: They鈥檙e all key players in the , a secret plot to reconquer the seven Southwestern states and merge them with Mexico.

At least, that is, according to , creator of Who鈥檚 Who in the Aztlan Movement, a two-volume compilation set containing the names of 42,732 鈥渋ndividuals, organizations and incidents.鈥� According to the second volume inside jacket copy, it represents 鈥渢he largest open source, cross-referenced named-persons index to the Aztlan movement and their allies.鈥� Although Sanchez doesn鈥檛 explain it 鈥� the volumes contain no introductory or explanatory material at all, just a seemingly endless list 鈥� Aztlan is a term sometimes used by Latino nationalists to describe the part of the United States once controlled by Spain and/or Mexico. Nativist conspiracy theorists and white supremacists have seized upon a few statements by Latino radicals to claim that Mexico is really secretly planning to take over much of America.

The conspiracy, apparently, is massive. In tiny, hard-to-read type, Sanchez lists as members of the alleged 鈥淎ztlan Movement鈥� more than 1,000 Latino street gangs, 29 members of the 鈥淐alifornia State Assemby鈥� [sic], a dozen United Auto Workers union locals, Catholic churches, Unitarian churches, a Somalian organic coffee company, McDonald鈥檚 Corp., and Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili.

Casting a net that鈥檚 perhaps just a smidgen too wide, Sanchez also lists , a Hispanic anti-immigration front group for the , a nativist hate group that has itself plugged the Aztlan conspiracy theory.

Nowhere does Sanchez say what part all these alleged individuals and organizations (full disclosure: they include the Southern Poverty Law Center and several of its employees) have in the Aztlan conspiracy. It is enough, apparently, to know they are on the list.

Who鈥檚 Who in the Aztlan Movement is the latest of Sanchez鈥檚 bizarre, self-published tomes. The Seattle-based 鈥渉istorian鈥� is also the creator of five volumes of Who鈥檚 Who in Al Qaeda & Jihadi Movements Worldwide. His 鈥淣uremberg War Crime Trials Online,鈥� a CD-ROM containing erratically footnoted transcripts of 126,000 pages of transcribed proceedings of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany, has been added to the collections of more than 50 major American university libraries. Sanchez also personally donated a copy to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., despite his own flirtations with Holocaust denial.

Beyond the two Aztlan volumes (a third is due out in September), Sanchez鈥檚 recent work includes a book review in the most recent edition of , a racist journal published by the radical-right Charles Martel Society.

In an otherwise glowing review, Sanchez briefly chastises the author of Saxons, Vikings and Celts, a study of the genetic history of Britain and Ireland, for 鈥渄enounc[ing] Saxon racial supremacism for rewriting the Magna Carta as a 鈥榙eclaration of Saxon independence,鈥� for victimizing Blacks, and for the Holocaust.鈥�

The author, Sanchez writes, 鈥渆nds his review of the mythic origins [of the Saxons] mawkishly, with the 鈥榮moke rising from the chimneys of Belsen and Dachau, Treblinka and Auschwitz, presumably from the modern, smokeless crematoria at those camps.鈥�

鈥淚t is always sad to see the grimly necessary ritual of European self-abasement degrade fine intellectual products like this book,鈥� Sanchez concludes. 鈥淪adly, to do science nowadays, a person of European descent must apologize for Auschwitz.鈥�
