Restoring the balance…

Heavens! That last post was a bit negative, don’t you think?

Here’s something that will cheer up Perth neo-nazi David Innes!

When the story first broke that Sue Bateman had attended one of Innes’ little Sitdown Sitzungs, the Baron seemed not so concerned that being
associated with Stormfront and himself was political poison, but was quite worried that Stormfront was being referred to as a white SUPREMACIST
website, and not a white NATIONALIST!

A word of advice, Dave… there isn’t a difference.

And it wasn’t just us… Even those bucket-bong smoking hippies over at the White Pride Coalition of Australia thought your reaction was a bit odd.

“Why weren’t you just denying it outright?” they wondered, eventually concluding that it was further proof that Baron had intentionally orchestrated the downfall of Bateman, and that he was an ASIO agent.

We won’t go so far. We think it’s just proof that Innes is a freakin’ idiot.

From the West Oz (westside4life, yo):

You ’re suebdoo2 if you do and suebdoo2 if you don’t

Devoted readers will remember the saga that was suebdoo2 - the One Nation candidate who resigned as branch president after evidence surfaced that she was posting on a white nationalist website.

Well, if you have been wondering where suebdoo2 has gone to, try Victoria Park. Suebdoo2 - aka Sue Bateman - is representing Pauline Hanson’s old party in the by-election created by the resignation of former premier Geoff Gallop.

We called suebdoo2 but she wasn’t interested in chatting.

“I feel that journalists are creating an atmosphere of McCarthyism and using racialism to destroy the perfectly legal party that is One Nation,” she prattled.

Nope, she hasn ’t changed since telling IC last year that while she was suebdoo2, she wasn ’t the suebdoo2 claiming to be suebdoo2 on Stormfront ’s White Pride World Wide website.

“It’s totally irresponsible and inflammatory to peddle various bigoted falsehoods, and that ’s all I have to say,” she said.

Apparently she was referring to IC and not the racist dribble on Stormfront.

While One Nation accepted suebdoo2’s resignation over the website indiscretion, they are now backing her at the by-election.

Party director James Hopkinson said she would make a very good candidate: “The only concern I have heard is what Inside Cover is going to write about it.”

Well, fear not One Nation. IC always strives for balance, unlike certain others.

Irving - The Downunder Angle

From the Age:

Australian causes stir at Irving trial
February 21, 2006 - 6:09AM

Former Australian beauty queen and controversial London socialite Michele Renouf has caused a stir at historian David Irving’s holocaust-denial trial in Vienna, protesting on his behalf.

Lady Renouf - a former wife of the late New Zealand financier Sir Frank Renouf - has long been an advocate of right-wing views.

She arrived at the trial of the British historian on Monday and made her views plain to assembled media, calling for the bodies of “so-called Holocaust victims to be exhumed to see whether they died from typhoid or gas”.

David Irving gets 3 years in der clink.

From the Financial Times (what what!):

Irving branded Holocaust denier
By Eric Frey in Vienna
Published: February 20 2006 19:56

An Austrian court on Monday sentenced British historian David Irving to three years in jail for denying the occurrence of the Holocaust.

The verdict by a jury of eight lay jurors and three judges was harsher than some legal experts had expected. It came after a one-day trial in which Mr Irving pleaded guilty to denying the second world war genocide of Jews during visit he made to Austria in 1989. Austria has one of the toughest Holocaust-denial laws in Europe.

Show us ya badge!

We cop a lot of threats here at FDB. Not surprising really considering the global track record of the far-right when it comes to utilising fear, violence, intimidation and other threatening behaviour to bring about their political ends.

We get them all; death threats, general threats to our physical safety, threats to the safety of our families and loved ones, threats to our property, or the property of our family(s).

What we have not received (until today that is) is a threat from a racist activist who also claims to be a “law enforcement official”.

Darp. You underestimate people in a whole. As for your comment of cowards that hide behind the internet: I have heard about you. Your one of those dogs that follow a leadership in government to better your own pocket. As soon as someone gives you their proper name, you fuck them in the media because that is your only weapon. You as an individual couldn’t hack what I dish out my brown nosing “Howard Junior”! So before your judgemental arse even comments on what I am brave or brave not enough to do, think hard about the fact that there maybe others out there just like you that fight for a cause; Bravely and with dignity. You have a cause, in your eyes it’s correct. I have a cause, in my eyes it’s correct. However, there is one thing that I have on top of you Mr Darp (And I have only known about you for the last week or so) and that is an open mind. Racial thinking does not make a human closed minded, it makes him a soldier; Because all of you other cowardly bastards out there are not only afraid to stand up, you are petrified to use the word “Racism”. I would like to meet you Mr Darp, I really would. Unfortunately your media is as corrupt as you are and I you would use that to your fullest extent against your own family let alone me; So long as it bettered your own life. So until your little escapade ends (And don’t worry it will, fame on a moron level only goes so far) I will have to hold my “wants” and attend to my “needs.” However, when your little pathetic moment of fame ends, you have my word, “I promise I will meet with you.” Until then, I refuse to waste another post on your self indulgence. May your life be worth while now, because when certain races come here and brandish your family slaves in the future, your life as you know it will be over and your little Today Tonight will be gone to.

“Lets be numb skulls.” The majorities witts.

That’s why I love you Darp, you are so entertaining. I also love how you run back to your mates to have a good cry about what this Phill guy is saying. Can’t you deal with things yourself? Please, keep posting, your becoming a permenant laugh in this house hold. It may also help you to know that I am involved in law enforcement so as for your statement on your site about me threatening anybody, I don’t need to make threats. If I wish to make a house call some time, I will have all the authority to do so. There is nothing threatening about that. I would just rather meet up with you as a civilian rather than an authority figure over your funny little hiny. And don’t you worry Mr Darp, there are many more of us out there that share the same opinion about you and your little lacky’s.

Comment by letsbenumb — 2006, February 20 @ 3:10 pm

Such unbecoming behaviour from someone “involved in law enforcement.”

Whether this person actually is or not, is most certainly up for dispute.

We recommend this person reads section 203 and 204 of the Police Act (NSW) 1990.

Suebdoobydoo… Busted, baby.

From ye olde Australian:

Ex-One Nation head vies for Gallop ’s seat.
20/2/06
Paige Taylor

A FORMER One Nation state president who resigned amid allegations that she was a closet white supremacist has re-emerged among 11 candidates vying for the seat vacated by former West Australian premier Geoff Gallop.

Financial controller Sue Bateman was dismissive yesterday of the former premier ’s battle with depression, saying the average Joe did not have the luxury of becoming depressed.

Ms Bateman, whose personal website offered a link to racist chatroom Stormfront, quit her role as a regional president with One Nation last September following accusations that she was a prolific online racist under the pseudonym Suebdoo2 - the same name she uses for her email address and to trade on eBay.

Read the rest of this entry… »

But Ms Bateman vigorously denies the claims, maintaining that somebody else must have called themselves Suebdoo2 on the Stormfront site and that a hacker must have placed the racist link on her website.

One Nation state president Ron McLean said yesterday Ms Bateman enjoyed the party ’s full support.

He said the party accepted her explanation that she had only visited the Stormfront website as part of her research into organisations and political parties.

The by-election for the Perth seat of Victoria Park was called following Dr Gallop ’s decision to quit politics after revealing last month that he was being treated for depression. He had held the seat for 20 years.

Labor candidate Ben Wyall is hoping to avoid a swing against his party, which holds a comfortable 15 per cent margin.

Launching the campaign of Liberal Party candidate Bruce Stevenson yesterday, Opposition Leader Mall Birney pushed the law and order barrow.

Mr Birney reaffirmed the Liberals’ support for mandatory jail terms for people convicted of serious assaults on police officers and called on Premier Alan Carpenter to reject his previous support for trials of heroin injecting rooms.

The large field also includes four independents, a candidate for the Daylight Saving Party, candidates from Family First and the Christian Democratic Party of WA and former Greens federal senator Dee Margetts.

Marketing consultant and musician James Dunn, 26, is the candidate for the single-issue Daylight Saving Party.

Party president Tom Cunneen said the by-election offered the opportunity for the party to continue to call for the introduction of daylight saving and said it would not be doing any preference deals.

“We ’re offering a real candidate who would work very hard for the people of Victoria Park,” Dr Cunneen said.

“We will promote the cause of daylight saving but vote with the party in power, so a vote for us currently would be a vote for daylight saving plus the Labor Government.”

Stormfronter stands in WA by-election

“Someone must have been muckin’ around with me bloody website.”

Yep, our old friend Sue Bateman has crawled back out from under the rock to contest the Victoria Park by-election. You can check out the ballot sheet here and see the official One Nation press release here.

What we find most interesting about this is that despite the mountain of evidence that links Sue Bateman to Stormfront, One Nation have not only decided to keep her in the party (after she was stood down pending an enquiry) but that they are running the risk of putting her up as a candidate.

I say we find this development interesting. We most certainly do not find it surprising.

Watch this space. Things are about to get very interesting round these here parts.

John van Blitterswyk was charged last year, along with two other members of a white supremacist group.

He is also accused of causing damage in a series of racist graffiti attacks.

He was arrested overnight on the latest charge.

He has been remanded in custody and ordered to appear in the District Court on Monday.

Some happy news: Sometimes the PC people get it wrong too.

It’s true, baby. Sometimes in their zealousness to “do the right thing” the political correctness people get a bit carried away. Recently, popular Australian TV show, “The Ronnie Johns Half Hour Goodtime Jamboree Variety Show (now in colour)” made a sketch called “High 5 A Muslim day!” featuring a Jesus Christ impersonator imploring people to join in High 5 A Muslim Day where folks give some “Slappy” to Muslims to bring harmony.

Heavens! This shocked Channel 10 quite a bit, considering the Current Cartoon Crisis, and they pulled the segment for fear it might offend Muslims.

So the producers decided to prove the show wasnt offensive and ran it past the Mufti of Australia, Taj Aldin Alhilali, for an expert opinion.

And an opinion they got! The crew recieved a FATWA in the mail!

Den den DENNNNNNN….

Read the rest of this entry… »

Of course a Fatwa is not what most people think it is. A Fatwa is just a religious ruling, like what a court would make, on a topic.

And the verdict: Hi-larious! The Mufty and his crew thought it was a great skit that promoted religious tolerance.

Heres the ruling;-

Dear Producers

Religious Ruling (Fatwah)

We have analysed the High Five Comedy Skit for the Ronnie Johns Half Hour.

Whilst Islam does not condone any imagary in relation to messengers of God, we do recognise and respect the usage by the Christian Church of crucifixes and images of Christ. In this regard our ruling does not relate to the person of Christ or the representation of Christ whom we respect, honour and revere as a great messenger of God. This ruling relates to the concept of the skit and to the references to Muslims therein. It may be appropriate to ask representatives of Christianity for their view in relation to the depiction of Jesus Christ. We do acknowledge that Jesus is rightly depicted as calling for interreligious respect and friendship and this positive role has impacted on our decision to issue this fatwa.

I confirm that the idea behind the skit is constructive and helps promote understanding amongst different sections of Australian society.

It would be great if Australians, Muslims and non Muslims were to exchange friendly greetings. Such understanding and good humour, introduced through satire is very beneficial for Australian society. On this basis the message of the skit and the references to Islam and Muslims are appreciated and are seen as positive and helpful for improved relations.

Yours sincerely
Signed
Taj Aldin Alhilali
Mufty of Australia

And the show will now be aired!

But here’s a link, posted by the producers themselves, so you can see it right now.

So what’s the moral of this story, children? Think back to just before Christmas for the hysterical stories about how those Muslims didn’t want people to celebrate Christmas in Australia because it was supposedly offensive.

The not-so-hidden message? “Muslims want to take away our lifestyle.”

Of course nothing could be further from the truth. Muslims see our homie JC as a messenger from god, second perhaps in importance to Muhammed. And although Muslims in general don’t celebrate Christmas, they do recognise that it’s an important community celebration of a holy person in both Christianity and Islam.

Unfortunately the effect of this meme was that people became unhappy with this percieved threat and started fearing muslims and their role in Australian society. Yet muslims were blameless for the debacle. It was something which was stoked by well meaning but misguided members of society who cancelled celebrations due to fears of upsetting Muslim people.

The parallel is clear here. Channel 10 feared upsetting the Muslim community and pulled the episode, and while the motivations are perhaps to be commended on some level, it seems they were misinformed about Muslims and Muslim values.

Turns out Muslims have a sense of humor too. Think about it.

Update: Crikey covers this also.

New evidence of nightmare

There’s also an in-depth feature about Zuroff & Polgar in The Age.

From the Oz:

Two tales from a nightmare
Natasha Robinson
February 17, 2006

THEY live 30 minutes’ drive from one another in suburban Melbourne. One is a Jewish refugee from the nightmare of World War II Hungary, the other a former officer of the regime that tortured her.

The story 82-year-old Susanne Nozick has to tell is the new evidence that could bring 89-year-old Lajos Polgar to a war crimes trial, 61 years after the disgraceful events she describes.

Mrs Nozick was 19 and in hiding at Budapest’s Charity Hospital, in the final months of World War II, when she was detained by soldiers and taken with her mother to the notorious House of Loyalty, the headquarters of the dreaded Hungarian fascist organisation Arrow Cross. There she was forced to watch as her mother was raped and brutally beaten.

Read the rest of this entry… »

In late 1944, Mr Polgar was 27 and the chief of Arrow Cross headquarters at Andrassy 60, Budapest. He denies any Jews were tortured in the basement of the building he commanded, despite historical evidence suggesting otherwise.

Mrs Nozick, who does not recall seeing Mr Polgar, clearly remembers being locked inside the building’s cellar, watching as a Jewish professor had his eyes gouged out with a stick.

She remembers the pregnant woman who miscarried from incessant beatings. She also remembers the sexual humiliation she endured at the hands of up to 15 Arrow Cross men.

Mr Polgar said yesterday he had fled Budapest by the time Mrs Nozick was incarcerated.

“The gypsies had to go on the women and they raped us, and then they put a big stick into me too,” Mrs Nozick said. “They burn some paper in my leg. I couldn’t walk after. My mother, they put a gypsy on her. They tortured her. They beat her up.

“Everybody was screaming. I was screaming, she was screaming, and then we were unconscious. They put some cold water from the bucket, they throw cold water on us and then they did it all again.”

Later, all the women were marched naked to the banks of the Danube River, and most, including her mother, were shot.

On the march to the river in -30C temperatures, Mrs Nozick did not know why an Arrow Cross soldier taunted her with the words: “Nice Rebecca, do you know how to swim?”

But Mrs Nozick somehow escaped the bullet that should have killed her. She fell into the freezing Danube alive as her wounded mother drowned.

Her testimony is now with the Hungarian Government, which has placed Mr Polgar under suspicion of genocide and is probing his wartime activities.

Mr Polgar yesterday stood by his statement that no Jews were tortured in the House of Loyalty and he was “definitely not aware of anything like that happening”.

“There was nothing happening, I would have known, (hanged Arrow Cross leader Jozef) Gera would have known,” he said.

“If he would have heard that this was happening, the sky would have come down because he would have been very angry.”

Mr Polgar said during the period in early January that Mrs Nozick says she was tortured, he had already left Budapest. He says he left at Christmas 1944.

The Jerusalem-based Simon Wiesenthal Centre’s director Efraim Zuroff traced Mrs Nozick to Melbourne and met with her yesterday. Mr Zuroff said he would also give her testimony to the Australian Federal Police.

“Here is living proof of the terrible crimes committed in the headquarters of Andrassy 60,” Mr Zuroff said yesterday. “And they clearly totally contradict the version of events that was presented by Mr Polgar.”

Mr Zuroff travelled to Australia for a court hearing for Charles Zentai, a Perth pensioner accused of murdering a Jewish teenager in WWII. He met Attorney-General Philip Ruddock and Justice Minister Chris Ellison in Canberra earlier this week and discussed the Polgar case.

“They said they fully recognise the importance of prosecuting war criminals,” he said.
