Two men, two flags and a thermos

The New Zealand Herald reports on that the latest National Front protest falls flat:

When the National Front raised a voice of protest yesterday, it managed a chorus of two.

That was the showing after the organisation announced a protest outside the Chinese Consulate to mark the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Sid Wilson, spokesman of the two, also said the National Front wanted to hammer home its message that Chinese people should stay in China - even with its human rights problems.

With one flag each and a hot thermos of coffee, the pair seemed hopeful others would join them. One other apparent supporter did appear, but would only watch from the other side of the road.

Mr Wilson, who described himself as the political adviser to the National Front Patriot Party, said the group also claimed responsibility for a coloured flour-bomb strike on the consulate.

He said the flour-and-paint bombs would become a signature attack by the National Front.

“Police Investigate Campaign To Murder Australian Anti-Racists”

Please note the inverted commas in that headline.

A big thanks to our American friends at the One People’s Project for tipping us off about this dubious article.

Police Investigate Campaign To Murder Australian Anti-Racists

“Redwatch” “Hitlist” Targeted Politicians, Activists and Journalists

6/9/2005 8:38:47 AM

Perth, Australia — Police in Perth, Australia have raided the homes of several white activists with the Australian Nationalist Movement claiming that a series of assaults and acts of property destruction targeting anti-white activists, journalists and politicians was related to a “RedWatch” “hit list” the group had maintained on the internet.

Patterned after similar “RedWatch” lists in the US and the UK, the Australian Nationalist Movement gathered and published the home addresses and personal information of hundreds of communist activists, journalists who published anti-white material, and politicians who took anti-white stands — a common technique used by both radical Jewish and communist hate groups, and white activists who seek to defend themselves against Jewish hate. However, in this case, police are alleging that “someone” — possibly ANM activists — began working down the list, carrying out a series of attacks on the communists, Jews, reporters and politicians cited.

Two ANM leaders, Jack van Tongeren and John van Blitterswyk, are currently in jail in Australia, facing charges of carrying out a graffiti campaign targeting non-whites in Australia, and planning a firebomb attack on an Asian neighborhood.

The Jewish-communist “Fight Dem Back” organization, an ARA-type group that uses physical violence to suppress the opinions of people they disagree with, have been lobbying the hardest to have “RedWatch” shut down. However, the technique of stalking people whose politics you disagree with, publishing their name and personal information on the internet, and then encouraging anonymous others to commit acts of violence against such people, is one pioneered by Jewish communists and anti-racists; their complaining about “right wingers” doing the same thing is just bitching that their own tactics of hate and violence have been turned against them.

This website regularly publishes personal information on those anti-racists who advocate crimes against or attempt to violate the Constitutionally protected rights of white activists, not to encourage violence against them, but to discourage them from committing acts of violence against others.

Bill White, Editor

What the?

Bill White is a crackpot “third positionist” from the US. He is most famous for spuriously claiming that the Columbine High killers were members of his ultra secret kiddie kommando kult.

His writings and general life story reflect that of most anti-Semitic “intellectuals” with White churning out stories like this on a daily basis whilst privately fantasising about Alan Greenspan, Joseph Lieberman and Barbara Streisand meeting over breakfast bagels to plan his downfall.

White made no contact with FDB in order to source this article, hence his blatant misrepresentation of our charter. We don’t know how many times we have to say it, but FDB does not and never has posted the private details of any racist activists. Nor have we ever used violence against our ‘enimies’.

We do wonder if Bill White has been in contact with Ben Weerheym. Is he planning a campaign to “murder” anti-racists? Have people associated with him been “working down the list of communists, Jews, reporters and politicians”?

He must have one hell of an operation running from underneath that rock of his.

Life in prison for South Island neo-Nazi duo

Two former skinhead mates linked to a secretive neo-Nazi gang are beginning life sentences for the murder of a homeless gay man in Westport.

A High Court jury in Greymouth took just four hours yesterday to find Leighton Brian Wilding, 38, of Nelson, and Hayden Brent McKenzie, 28, of Westport, guilty of murder.

The pair strangled and drowned James Bamborough – a 54-year-old eccentric who lived in his car with his two dogs and preferred to be called Janis – after a party in Westport on October 12, 1999.

Former friends Wilding and McKenzie were linked to a white power gang, the Fourth Reich, but turned on each other at the three-week trial, accusing each other of the killing.

An end to toil and trouble

As we hinted at last week, the Patriotic Youth League’s Stuart McBeth has stepped down from the leadership of the organisation.

PYL media representative Luke Connors explains that McBeth’s decision was made on the basis of his far-right political activities threatening his livelihood: “Getting fired from your job for your beliefs can make a person nervous about things like “rent” and “food”, he said.

McBeth’s position as a case officer for the Salvation Army was terminated earlier this year.

As with recent high profile retirees Kyle Chapman and Jason Molloy, everyone at Fight dem back! would like to wish Stu all the best for the future.

We hope that he tries to take a more balanced view in regard to Sudanese migrants settling in his home city of Newcastle and we hope that he puts his pointless past of race-hate politics behind him and gets on with his life.

We also hope that he has learnt how to read a train timetable.

MSN cleans out ‘White Power’ webgroups

A media enquiry into MSN webgroups has resulted in the removal of a number of online communities from the ninemsn server. The Sydney Morning Herald reports that police have launched an investigation into a site known as ‘Rape Club’:

Despite a number of sites being pulled, there were at least four other rape-related online groups operating on ninemsn’s website today.

These were “No Rape No Glory”, “Whitepower/rape rock”, “Ministry’s Land of Rape and Honey” and “Rape me”.

Some of these online groups feature sexually-explicit photos, Nazi symbols and self-mutilation images.

Redwatch Downunder

Fear, intimidation and violence are the stock-standard weapons in the far-right arsenal.

For a number of years, anti-racist advocates in the United Kingdom have been subject to a vicious campaign of intimidation and harassment at the hands of a collaborative web project entitled Redwatch.

Redwatch takes its name from the standard thick-headed far-right presumption that anyone with the nerve to oppose their racist agenda must be a Communist or at the very least, a Liberal Democrats voter.

Redwatch breaches privacy laws by posting photographs, names and addresses of anti-racist activists and encourages its readers to pay the said activists “a visit.”

It works off the slogan, “Remember places, traitors’ faces, they’ll all pay for their crimes.”

As a result of having their details posted on these pages, a number of British anti-racists have been physically attacked and suffered damage to their property and countless thousands have found themselves on the end of numerous phone, verbal and written threats.

People like this collection of mums and dads from Lancashire.

Simon Sheppard, the owner of Redwatch was raided by the police last month and it now finally looks like this site will be shut down, irrespective of its hosting status on an American server.

Despite the obvious legal headaches of embarking on a campaign like this, there are still a number of far-right activists in our part of the world who are very much drawn to the idea of posting up the photos and personal details of anti-racist advocates.

Enter Western Australia’s Ben Weerheym and Redwatch Downunder.

One ex-Muslim, one Buddhist, two Jews and a newborn Aussie

A new Australian: “His father is an Iranian Muslim who converted to Christianity; his mother is a Burmese Buddhist who fled to Thailand; his adopted grandmother is a Hungarian-born Jew; and his godfather is the senior rabbi at Sydney’s Temple Emanuel Woollahra.”

Rabbi Kamins says the child’s birth is a symbol of harmony: “It shows that we can have different families, different communities, different practices, and yet we are all part of humanity, connected to the same source of life.”

Chapman’s kindergarten story doesn’t ring true

New Zealanders are sceptical about the reasons Kyle Chapman gave for his resignation as head of the racist National Front. A recent editorial in the Waikato Times explains why:

Most New Zealanders would see Kyle Chapman as one tough customer… But the National Front leader and spokesman for the extreme right seemed to show a soft side when he resigned from the organisation’s top position last week because of claims his family was being affected.

Mr Chapman says the resignation was forced after his son was shunned by other children’s parents at kindergarten. He claimed his family was being persecuted for its beliefs.

Is this some kind of publicity stunt? Or just a ploy to attract the sympathy vote? Whatever, it just doesn’t ring true.

[…]

It’s not difficult, though, to believe other parents might not want to have anything to do with Mr Chapman or his family. Mr Chapman’s opinions and political aspirations are completely opposed to those of the majority of New Zealanders and he has admitted he is willing to work outside the law to achieve his ends, confessing to a series of arsons.

[…]

In this latest case, Mr Chapman’s child could easily have been moved to another kindergarten. Instead, we are told, Mr Chapman saw no other option than to resign from his leadership position in his organisation. That seems like an extreme — and pointless — action. It suggests he might have been looking for an excuse to drop the high profile role even though he says he has not changed his views and presumably continues to believe in the National Front’s misguided policies.

We at Fight dem back! don’t believe it either.
