An ANM Obituary

Notorious anti-Asian hate movement bites the dust
Australian Nationalist Movement: 1984 - 2007

Anti-hate campaigner Cam Smith writes:

A particularly putrid boil on the pockmarked arse of Australian politics was lanced last week when the West Australian District Court sentenced John van Blitterswyck, a prominent member of the Australian Nationalist Movement to two years’ jail for his part in a conspiracy to firebomb a number of Chinese restaurants. He was the final person to be convicted over the plot.

Racist conviction reveals plot
Ryan Pedler

The man who helped Australian Nationalist Movement leader Jack van Tongeren wage a racist terror campaign in the late 1980s was yesterday found guilty of teaming up with him again in 2004 to plot the firebombing of four Chinese restaurants.

A District Court jury deliberated for six hours after a one-week trial before convicting John Anthony Van Blitterswyk. He could be sentenced as soon as this morning.

The end of Van Blitterswyk â€™s trial meant suppression orders on reporting van Tongerenâ€™s case were lifted, allowing The West Australian to reveal that he made a dramatic confession to ordering the firebombings and was sentenced to time he had already spent in custody on the condition that he leave WA.

Everybody makes mistakes…

Dear Ben Weerheym aka Aussie Patriot,

We’re very, very sorry - but recently, we misrepresented you on this site.

In this story, we reported that rather than hitting a War Widows Retirement Home, you had actually vandalised an apartment block in which a Perth refugee rights activist lived. We reported that that particular attack was, contrary to your protestations, completely deliberate.

Although you had admitted to your vandalism team ACCIDENTALLY spraying a War Widows Home, we assumed that you had gotten mixed up, as the home which copped all the vandalism in the apartment block belonged to a 93 year old war widow.

So, yes, you did ACCIDENTALLY spraypaint swastikas onto the home of a war widow.

But we’re very, very sorry for suggesting that you had nothing to do with further attacks on Perth war widows! God forbid you didn’t get all the credit you are due!

We admit it - We made a mistake.
