Let’s Have Music!

    Update : I wrote this post on March 4. Since then, the raids on German neo-Nazis (see below) have received more media coverage: Right-Wing Extremism: Germany Launches Massive Crackdown on Neo-Nazi Music, Deutsche Welle; Police crackdown on neo-Nazi music, ABC.

    Perhaps the closest Australian authorities have come to doing something similar was the arrest of David Pollard (b. December 31, 1983) in June last year. Pollard was responsible for the distribution of nutzi propaganda via his website ‘Noble Front’. Among the items confiscated by police from his property was the Deaths Head CD ‘Feast of the Jackal’ (featuring the No.1 smash hit ‘Swastika’; the swastika “will fly again”, apparently).

    Deaths Head is — or rather, was — a local Melbourne band, and closely associated with both Blood & Honour and the Hammerskins, international neo-Nazi networks. B&H is banned in Germany, but active in Australia. To celebrate the deaths of Australian soldiers in WWII, the two groups are organising a gig in Perth on ANZAC Day later this year; bands playing include Indigenous Hate, Quick & the Dead, and Ravenous.

    Deaths Head and Ravenous member Jesse, a Hammerskin, maintains a channel on YouTube which features a number of Deaths Head videos, as well as two very brief cartoons featuring the decapitation and shooting of ‘Sheky’ the Jew. The band has a MySpace page here.

    Deaths Head is also notable for having provided local oi! band Bulldog Spirit with a drummer, Joel. Doug, the vocalist for Bulldog Spirit, is a big fan of mine, and it was in this spirit that he published what he claimed (erroneously) to be my work address on an online forum frequented by boneheads.

Local German-born nutzi Welf Herfurth — leader of the tiny ‘New Right Australia (and er, New Zealand)’, and the bonehead gang Volksfront Australia — must be crying into his imported German beer this evening (likely to be shared with Novocastrian bonehead and Volksfront co-organiser Douglas Schott), following reports of another crackdown by German police on the radical right in Der Vaterland.

Germany raids over 200 suspected neo-Nazi premises

March 4, 2009

BERLIN (Reuters) - German police have launched a nationwide search of more than 200 homes and businesses of people suspected of belonging to the country’s extreme right, the Federal Crime Office (BKA) said Wednesday.

“The primary aim of the concerted action by crime fighting authorities is to seize and confiscate prohibited items like music in order to move effectively and extensively against the spread of right wing extremism,” the BKA said in a statement…

The raids come only a few weeks after one of the largest nutzi gatherings in post-War Germany in Dresden, when 5-6,000 fascist wankers jackbooted about the city (with a police escort of several thousand). They also come after former NPD executive member Uwe Luthardt, who recently quit the party, made what is presumably intended to be some kinda ‘revelation’ regarding the NPD’s continued adherence to the incestuous corpophiliac Hitler’s political legacy.

Duh.

Volksfront Australia

Volksfront Australia, like most local neo-Nazi groups, is a foreign import. Established in 1994 in the United States, and named in honour of a racist Afrikaaner mob, the group has recently embraced a few converts Down Under: chief among them (according to rival sect Blood & Honour / Southern Cross Hammerskins) the former German NPD and Australian One Nation Party member Welf Herfurth.

Did I happen to mention that Welf also considers himself an “anarchist”?

This is not the first time Volksfront has had an Australian franchise. In 2004, a young racist named Stuart McBeth (1981–), then the leader of the now defunct ‘Patriotic Youth League’ (PYL) — a risible attempt by Dr James Saleam to extend Australia First Party membership to the under-40s — threw his tinfoil helmet into the ring as an Australian organiser for the United States People’s Front. (Oddly enough, like Welf, Stuart was also a former member of ONP.) McBeth resigned as PYL President shortly after being fired, in late January 2005, from his job as a case officer for the Salvation Army. McBeth was replaced by Lachlan Black, also a former ONP member and, like McBeth, a former ONP candidate.

Like the PYL, Volksfront Mk I collapsed in a heap.

I’d love to go for a rally outside now…

… THE SUNSHINE’S CALLING MY NAME. But then it got cancelled.

Hey there, kiddies. Remember the other day when we crashed the Stormfront Victoria BBQ?

Well, besides talking about such charming subjects as how they hope that somebody nukes Israel, and fun ways to torment homeless aboriginal people (Oh! How they laughed!), the lads also got down to talking about the STATE OF THE SCENE.

The public and private faces of Stuart McBeth

A word of warning. What you are about to read will make your blood boil. Go take a nice long walk, read a book, chill out, relax and then come back with a clear head and be ready to be pissed off. It was doubly hard to write all this up and not feel the need to put my fist through the monitor every five minutes. No matter, I’ve got the PCYC ring booked for two hours later tonight. I pity the poor bastard I’m sparring with.

Let’s begin.

I promised myself I was going to leave the PYL stuff for a while but after delving deeper into their inner workings, I couldn’t hold back.

It’s time to completely blow apart their public facade of merely being a ‘nationalist’ group. Take this example of how some online databases are choosing to represent them:

The PYL was founded in late 2002 by its current President, Stuart McBeth. McBeth was and is a student attending N.S.W. Newcastle University. McBeth had previously been involved with One Nation and was interested in building a youth movement with a nationalist expression.

The PYL is classified as a right-wing Nationalist organisation. The PYL describes it’s position as pro-Australian with nationalism as its guiding spirit. While some commentors have equated its stand against multi-culturalism as racist, the PYL has largely avoided this label because of its polite and respectful attitude toward minorities.

Furthermore because the PYL has avoided the violent confrontations and marches of previous right-wing groups it has broaded it range of appeal to youth. By adopting elements of Euronationalism whilst adapting them to the Australian context the PYL is beginning to emulate the succes of the European Nationalist parties such as the Front National and BNP.

The PYL has spread quickly from its birthplace in Newcastle to other areas. It currently has branches in nearly all Australian Eastern Seaboard cities, including Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne the Central Coast, and of course Newcastle.

Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, McBeth says the league is not racist and has Asians among its 50 members. “We’re just about being proud of our culture, like other people are of theirs.”

Remember, I was told over the phone that you gotta be an ‘Aussie’ to join. Sorry, I know I keep hammering that point over and over.

PYL supports international apartheid

Local business is on board with the campaign against the Patriotic Youth League, as are some of the churches. We’ve got a good mix of different ethnicities standing up to be counted and no shortage of people from inside and outside the area chomping at the bit to get involved.

It’s not often that I get choked up when opening my email but the last couple of days have been nothing short of amazing. I can’t believe the sheer numbers of people who want to help out or the distances that some of them are prepared to travel. Why, I’ve even received offers of financial assistance. I really don’t think it’s appropriate that I take any of those up just yet. Not until this idea congeals a bit more into a recognisable community group with a bank account and regular meetings.

I’ve been solidly working the local and wider press and have half a dozen interviews scheduled for tomorrow. Expect a big piece in the Northern District Times. What sort of photo angle should we take? Suit, tie and glasses? Maybe singlet, sunnies, whale-bone koru pendant and menacing scowl would send a better message to these thugs. Then again I might look like the thug.

The PYL is a white supremacist organisation

As it stands now, Patriotic Youth League are running a campaign squarely targeted at recruiting high school and university students. I don’t worry too much about the uni side of things, but I’m incredibly fucked off over the idea of these pricks preying on high school kids.

I can already picture them knocking up character profiles of their ideal recruits. You know the type. Angry, disaffected, intelligent and confused (white) kids who can’t quite work out where it all went wrong. They can’t get ahead in school because the Asian students clean house in every subject. Eastwood, West Ryde and Epping shops are starting to resemble Seoul, Beirut and Shanghai. It’s “spot the Aussie” down there! All of a sudden Mr Charisma, Andrew Wilson, comes along and peddles a shitload of easy answers (based on race of course) and exploits any resentment festering away in an “Aussie” kid and offers them the chance to join a gang hell-bent on “taking our country back!”

Remember, you gotta be an “Aussie” to join.

Six months?

The disparate and normally placid folk of Bennelong appear to be rousing once more. I met with some business leaders from the Korean and Chinese communities this morning and am just about to duck out to have a yarn with our local Uniting Church minister. He is kinda miffed seen as the PYL stuck a few stickers around his Lakeside Road Church.

Robert Corr tracked down this ditty of the PYL’s Andrew Wilson on Stormfront. (Read the replies that follow it — scary.)

This is an open letter to Australian Nationalists;

Introducing the Patriotic Youth League (PYL) to SF forum readers:

The PYL is a new youth organisation set up to combat the aggressive politically-correct, multi-cultural propaganda being forced on Australian Youth. We provide a nationalist youth alternative, endeavouring to reassert and instil in youth a pride of their past heritage and history, giving them a direction for the future.

Formed in late 2001/ early 2002, by Stuart McBeth and others, the PYL now has branches in the Central Coast, Sydney, Canberra and Newcastle. Currently the PYL is assisting the 2004 council election campaign of the Australia First Party.

This is written with the hope it will be read by young nationalists willing to become part of the struggle — join us!

Or, for those more ‘well-preserved patriots’ who can’t join in, we would warmly welcome any assistance that you could spare — it’s not limited to financial help either.

Please investigate our site: http://www.patrioticyouthleague.org

Thankyou for you time.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Wilson
PYL Sydney Organiser

Remember, Wilson is the semi-presentable front of the PYL. He is the guy who ranted and railed against their leader Stuart McBeth for being so dimwitted as to combine the PYL PO Box address with that of another of their projects — Volksfront.
