Fight dem back! recently received correspondence from one Brendon Rimmer (aka Proud European), the official youth representative of the New Zealand National Front. See, Brendon is a tad miffed that these photos were aired:

Brendon is far left.

His email reads:

just sending an email to inform you of some changes that need to be made to your site for one me with the swastika shirt was a year or 2 before i joined the NF and peoples ideas change lots in years.
Thanks
Brendon

The swastika shirt is from a “year or 2″ before joining the NF? Couldn’t you be a bit clearer? No, well — let us clarify a few things for you.

Irrespective of when that picture was actually taken, it was posted on the NF forums as recently as October last year. This picture was also visible more recently on Brendon’s MSN profile where he was the ‘manager’ of the following MSN groups; White Pride New Zealand Wide and New Zealand Nazi Militia.

So chronologically speaking, these pictures are much more recent than Brendon would have us think.

If the National Front is serious about expunging all neo-Nazi elements from their organisation, maybe they need to have good look at who they want as their official youth representative.

Brendon’s strategy of “I’m not a Nazi, those pictures are old, like a year old” is very prevalent amongst the white nationalist community where these people seem to think that their ideas and allegiances are something that they can throw off at the drop of a hat. Not that they ever actually change any of their ideas and beliefs, they merely switch camps from:

Yes, I’m a neo-Nazi and proud! Sig Heil motherfucker!

to

Uhm… well, I agree with everything Hitler did and for all intents and purposes I am a Nazi and have paraded around in front of swastika flags and worn swastika t-shirts — but I am going to be publicly crucified if I admit this so I will simply hide behind the facade of being a white nationalist and patriot whilst continuing to worship Hitler in private. If any dirt turns up, I’ll just say “I’ve changed.”

Jim Saleam was the master of this strategy. He spent most of the 1980’s goose-stepping around Sydney and Brisbane with a swastika armband on, see pic from his Australian National Action days:

Saleam of course now claims that he isn’t a Nazi, never has been and that he was merely trying to infiltrate ANA.

Another of the NZNF’s Australian associates (and former leader of the now defunct Australian National Front Youth), “Goobs” was very much aware of the importance of concealing his adoration of Hitler. Admittedly, he was very stupid to frame his reasoning so publicly on old ANFY forums:

TOPIC: tone it down
« Thread started on: 12/15/2004 at 06:00:44 »
For the sake of image of the National Front and WNs we are all going to have to tone the nazism. Whilst i understand that hitler was a great man, it gives the left more ammo to use against us.

Hail Victory

Make a note of that post date: December last year.

Prior to this he was very active on Stormfront espousing the following sentiments [all sic]:

“I have a celtic cross on my school bag, i constantly hitler salute and i write sieg heil, white pride world wide etc. over desks, books, people, basically anything i can.”

“i’m gonna go nazi salute outside a jewish templely thing.”

“If we get other races to accept our opinions then they may believe in their own seperation from other races. This will help us achieve our goal, and will make it easier to kill all the dirt (i.e. the jews) as no one will want to defend another race, especially the jews. It will also allow us to be more public if nationalism is supported by other races.”

“Then i’d kill em if i had nothing to stay out of gaol for. Anyone of European decent is fine with me.”

Ok, you don’t get more Nazi than that do you?

When the Fight dem back! spotlight was finally shone in Goob’s direction and his identity (and position of extreme social privilege and wealth) was uncovered, his response:

It’s fairly obvious that your scare tactics have worked and that the NFY is over and I’m no longer active. But if you wish me to announce it then I will. So you won hurray everyone is happy except for the WN community.

Don’t be fooled by this; he has been active on a number of WN forums in recent days and we have also recieved confirmation that he is now a member of the PYL.

And how’s this MSN convo between Goobs and an FDB operative (from Feb 05):

[Goobs] says:
in fact i personally don’t have anything against jews as a whole i used to but not anymore

Joel Brand says:
Oh really? Would you care to explain some of your more ANGRY Stormfront posts?

“I have a celtic cross on my school bag I constantly Hitler salute and I write sieg heil, white pride world wide etc. over desks, books, people, basically anything I can”

[Goobs] says:
they are from like a year ago. people change and what was the date on that?

Joel Brand says:
Has what has changed in the last year? Details please?

[Goobs] says:
i now dislike hitler profusely. i’m not a nazi anyway, so u can stop with that childish name calling

Joel Brand says:
It’s February pal; two months ago you posted on the ANFY forum on how you thought Hitler was a GREAT MAN and asked everyone to tone down the Nazism as it gives the lefties more ammo to use against you! A few months prior to that, you were saying things like this:

Joel Brand says:
“This will help us achieve our goal, and will make it easier to kill all the dirt (i.e. the jews)”

[Goobs] says:
are u daft? did i not say that was a year ago, and my beliefs have changed? don’t you know how to read?

[Goobs] has left the conversation.

You see the point? It is a recurring theme with these people.

Let me lay it out plainly for all the white nationalist Nazis in hiding. Prancing around in swastika t-shirts, posing in “Sig Heil” photos and espousing blatantly Nazi rhetoric online will be held against you by the public at large. FDB will hold it against you mainly because we know that you are full of shit and are scared witless of being outed for what you are. One month ago, one year ago - it makes no difference to us that you are espousing similar sentiments to that of Adolf Hitler yet are doing so behind the facade of “White Nationalism” and denying the fact that you are a Nazi.

There are a few minor exceptions to this rule of “Once a Nazi, always a Nazi” and that is where rehabilitated neo-Nazis make an active public stand against their former colleagues and renounce all forms of racism, bigotry, violence and prejudice. See former neo-Nazi David Greason’s well known book I was a teenage fascist for a perfect example of what we mean by this.

Until such profound public condemnations of their “former lives” are made by certain activists within the WN community. They will forever be Nazis in our eyes and will be dealt with as such.

Postscript:

Probably the most stupid Stormfront comment from ‘Goobs’ is this one. In it he states that his school has a pipe band.

In his previous entries he states he attends a non-catholic private school on Sydney’s north shore.

There is only one such school that fits the above description. Sheesh, there is only one other private school in Sydney with a pipe band and they’re not on the north shore.

Surely this school should be made aware that one of their pupils is proactively recruiting his fellow students into a racist organisation.

It’s not our place to do the dob-in direct though. We’ll wait and see. Should young Lachlan show an inclination to leave his Nazism behind him, grow up and join the human race then there’ll be no need to concern ourselves with it.

If he chooses to remain an active recruitment agent for racist orgs …then we’ll have a think about things.

Still, his old Australian National Front Youth posts like this probably won’t go down too well in the headmaster’s office though Killara High and the North Shore Times are bound to have a field day:

TOPIC:Beginning of new Term
« Thread started on: 01/30/2005 at 10:53:25 »

Here it is, the start of a new school term.

I am hoping very much that all of you do as much recruiting as you possibly can. However I strongly advise that you do not advertise your racism to any authority nor people who you know will get you in shit. If you are going to recruit do it subtly and don’t force anything on your friends. Stickering your school might be an idea, but don’t do it if it can be easily traced back to you (obviously).

How to recruit

Here are some basic pointers on how to recruit fellow white youth to our movement.

• For the sake of ease and time saving find those that have been beaten by non whites. It may seem that you are picking on the weak but it is best as you can slowly awaken them to the truth of our nation while they actually listen.
• Put up stickers in areas that are where youth hang out or where you often see youth. Make sure you put them where they actually stop, such as traffic lights or bus stations.
• Make and example, show the rest of your school mates that you won’t stand for the shit that the muds are giving the white kids.
• Don’t be too full on, so don’t heil Hitler them all the time or anything, as I said before you have to ease them into it otherwise they’ll get scared of the possible consequences and then want out.
• Concentrate on things that you know will affect them, such as what if a gang of lebs raped their sister etc. and make it obvious that if he joined you’d be able to stop that.
• Once you have some mates or you have recruited some people try to get them to recruit others, and then get the new recruits to recruit, so you basically have a network of people recruiting, which should (in theory) expand the population of WNs.

The trick is to ease it onto them, and if they show signs of dislike, then cease pushing the issue until you feel you can convince them again. If that doesn’t work, every so often show em some propaganda or something like that, hey even quotes from the talmud, and trust me when i say they’ll see the light.
