Attack the heretic

On many BNP sites and weblogs there has been somewhat of a ripple, a disturbance, a chance to castigate the unbeliever and attack the heretic, sometimes those so unable to achieve their aims become almost fixated by external stimuli and can never look to their own mistakes and so it is with the BNP. You see the BNP is thee only god of nationalism, thee only orthodoxy, turn from the path and woe to you and all who stand at your side. So very disappointed are they with their failure and their lack of true momentum, so very fearful of losing the small victories they think they have gained they attack all those who would, they believe, usurp them.

Yet nationalism has never been about party, never about electioneering, oh it is an arm, a way to present a message to a bewildered and besieged people but it is not thee only route to salvation. It is no good, no good at all attacking a system, only to partake wholly of it, to condemn whilst swimming with the tide, to stand with our peoples enemies whilst the people alone then scream in torment. Yet the BNP would

Revamp

The National Front have revamped their website added a better navigation system and generally made it more user friendly, of course from my own point of view it could be better however a start has been made and I am sure that over time they will improve the layout, one troubling thing is the lack of a feed, this I feel is a major oversight and should be addressed. In any event the site is worth book-marking by all nationalists and it is good to see the Front moving in a more user friendly contemporary direction to view the site go here...

Police prevent Hungarian Guard from joining memorial march

Budapest, November 22 (MTI) - Police prevented some 450 members of the banned Hungarian Guard, the uniformed arm of the radical nationalist Jobbik party, from joining a march marking the 90th anniversary of interwar leader Admiral Miklos Horthy's entry to Budapest on Sunday.

A group of about 1,000 residents got the go-ahead to march from Kosztolanyi to Szent Gellert square on Sunday afternoon, but Guard members wearing the banned uniform were stopped from joining them.

Socialist Party leader Ildiko Lendvai and anti-fascist civil groups raised their voices against the march, which they called a "neo-fascist parade". Lendvai called on political parties to dissociate themselves from the march. continues here

On streets of Russia, young anti-fascists battle young ultra-right

MOSCOW // For several years now, a largely unseen battle has been playing out on Russia’s streets between ultra-nationalist youth and their militant adversaries, anti-fascism activists.

As a rule, the street brawls between radical right-wing groups and members of an anti-fascism movement known under the umbrella term “Antifa” rarely show up on police blotters, though both sides post videos of the melees on the internet, depending, of course, on who prevailed. Whereas Antifa activists largely stick to fists and boots, several of their cohorts in recent years have been killed in knife attacks.

And now with the death of a prominent Antifa activist, nicknamed “Bonecrusher”, who was shot in Moscow last week, simmering tensions between the two sides have boiled over, threatening more bloodshed in reprisal attacks.

On the evening of November 16, an unidentified gunman shot 26-year-old Ivan Khutorskoi in the head twice in the entryway of the victim’s apartment building in eastern Moscow, investigators said.

Khutorskoi, a martial arts expert who worked as a security guard at punk rock shows and Antifa events, was twice targeted in attacks in 2005 in connection with his Antifa links, which may have been a primary motive in the killing, investigators said in a statement.

Khutorskoi, who was buried in Moscow on Saturday, had provided security at the press conferences of Stanislav Markelov, a lawyer who was shot dead in broad daylight last year. A former associate of a nationalist group called Russky Obraz, or “Russian Image”, has admitted to the crime but claims it was motivated by personal animosity, not politics, according to his lawyer.

One day after Khutorskoi’s murder, Antifa activists used rocks and sticks to smash up the office of Young Russia, a pro-Kremlin youth group.

They accuse its leader, the Russian MP Maxim Mishchenko, of having ties to Russky Obraz and providing protection for those who preach hate and violence against migrants in Russia.

Mr Mishchenko has denied that he supports racism, though he said that he had previously co-operated with Russky Obraz, which sponsored a concert near the Kremlin this month featuring one of Russia’s most notorious radical nationalist rock groups.


The ransacking of the pro-Kremlin group’s office by Antifa activists raised the spectre of a rapid escalation in the stand-off and prompted some of Russia’s leading human rights crusaders – including Lyudmila Alexeyeva, a Soviet-era dissident – to call for restraint.

“That is not the way to stop political terrorism,” the statement said. “Instead you are giving law enforcement authorities a pretext for new repressions against underground groups.”


Controlling the deep strains of xenophobia in Russian society while extracting political capital from nationalist sentiment has been a delicate balancing act for the Kremlin.

Critics have accused the government and law enforcement authorities of sympathising with radical right-wing groups, though there has been a spike in convictions of ultra-nationalists in recent years in violent, often deadly attacks against migrants from the former Soviet republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus. “In Moscow this year there will probably be fewer hate crimes than there were last year, and that will be a great success for the Moscow police,” said Alexander Verkhovsky, the head of a Moscow-based Sova think tank, which monitors hate crimes in Russia.


Such success, however, is limited largely to Moscow and does not extend to Russia’s poorer, far-flung regions, Mr Verkhovsky said.

Tracking violent conflicts between ultra-nationalists and anti-fascist groups is trickier. Both sides are skittish about dealing with authorities or the media and rarely report incidents through traditional channels.

The fact that both Markelov and Khutorskoi were killed with guns in contract-style murders has ominous overtones for future confrontations between the two groups. Knives and baseball bats, rather than guns, had until now been the weapons of choice for right-wing groups, Mr Verkhovsky said. “You can’t say that they’ve completely switched to guns, but some people are clearly using them.” continues here

Violence as Nick Griffin attends rally in Spain

Violence broke out a far-Right rally attended by Nick Griffin at the weekend on the anniversary of the death of Fascist dictator General Francisco Franco


The MEP and British national Party leader was a special guest at the meeting held by the Spanish far-Right National Democracy Party at a central Madrid hotel on Saturday.

Spanish police detained 28 people when a riot started between youth members of the rival ultra-right Patriotic Socialist Movement after they were denied access to the event.

Police were on high alert in the capital on Saturday as demonstrators marched through the streets to commemorate the death of Gen Franco, who died on November 20 1975.

Several hundred supporters of the regime gathered in Calle Genova, the birthplace of Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of the Falange party, before taking buses to the Valle de los Caidos, Valley of the Fallen, where both he and Gen Franco are buried.

This year, for the first time since the death of the dictator, who ruled the country with an iron-fist for 36 years, there was no mass held at the mausoleum in the hills to the west of Madrid to mark his death.

Spain's fascists traditionally gather at the vast basilica, which took 19 years to build using forced labour by Republican prisoners, to pay homage to the late dictator on the Saturday following the date of his death.

But political demonstrations at the monument have been banned under the 2007 Law of Historical Memory, brought in by the socialist government of Jose Luis Rodriquez Zapatero in an attempt to recognise the Republican victims of the civil war and dictatorship.

A spokesman for the BNP confirmed that Mr Griffin had attended a political rally in Madrid.

"He may also have made a private visit to Franco's tomb on his trip to Spain," a spokesman said. continues here

German constitutional court upholds law banning neo-Nazi march

In a surprise ruling that brings a nearly two-decade long legal battle to a close, Germany's top judges found an "exception" to the right to assembly when it came to some neo-Nazi activities.

Ever since the first anniversary of the death of the Nazi war criminal Rudolf Hess in 1988, neo-Nazis have attempted to gather in his Bavarian hometown of Wunsiedel to honor him.

And since 1990, when running street battles between leftists and skinheads erupted at the march, the German state has tried to ban them.

Tuesday's ruling at the constitutional court in Karlsruhe appears to have ended the conflict, with the neo-Nazis coming out on the losing end.

New precedent

The court said that a 2005 "anti-sedition" law banning gatherings which expressed "approval, glorification, or justification" of Adolf Hitler's National Socialist regime was compatible with Germany's constitution.

The ruling is a turnabout from 2001, when the court struck down the ban that had kept the Wunsiedel marchers from rallying since 1991. At that time, the court said that an expression of opinion could be banned only if it amounted to the incitement to riot. Germany's Social Democrat and Green party government then passed the new ban four years later.

Posthumous defeat

The complaint against the law had been brought by Juergen Rieger, an attorney who was deputy chairman of Germany's leading far right party, the National Democratic Party (NPD), which is strongly associated with the neo-Nazi scene.

Rieger had applied each year for a march permit in Wunsiedel, and he had hoped that the high court would strike down the ban as unconstitutional. Rieger did not live to see the ruling - he died on October 29th of this year.

Instead, the court set down a new precedent which enshrines a firm constitutional exception for limiting the expression of opinion which praises "National Socialism's actual, historical period of violent and capricious rule."

Still, the judges said there was little room for the ban to widen. Speech praising National Socialist philosophy in general could not be banned, and the court suggested that such ideas must be met "in free political discourse."

Boosters and critics

While few in Germany ally themselves with neo-Nazi marchers, and counter-demonstrators regularly far outnumber their political opponents, the ruling has drawn a mixed response.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann, a member of the center-right Christian Social Union, told the Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper that the ruling "strengthens my hand in the fight against the NPD and their anti-constitutional goals."

He added that an outright ban on the NPD "remained near the top" of his political agenda.

The left-progressive national paper tageszeitung, meanwhile, led with a commentary from its legal affairs correspondent Christian Rath. He attacked the ruling as having established a two-tiered system of free speech, and compared the "exception" in assembly rights as it applied to the extreme right as akin to controversial restrictions in civil rights imposed on suspected terrorists.

Rath also argued that Germany should not need special bans on Nazi expressions anymore. continues here

Resources diverted to fight against right wing terrorists

Has oppostion to Islam encouraged right wing extremists? 

They won’t say it, they can’t say it, but within Scotland Yard there is a quiet annoyance that in the middle of their fight against Islamic extremists they are now facing a threat from right wing terrorists.

As always the police get caught in the middle, but if a bomb went off in a largely Asian area in the style of David Copeland, the Soho nail bomber, the outrage could be irreparable.

In the absence of help from many local schools and local authorities, police forces across the country have made huge strides in building bridges in Asian communities that have learnt to be self-sufficient and self-governing over many years.

Historically faced by a wall of silence in communities such as Beeston in Leeds, the home of the July 7 bombers, they were amazed last year when a mosque in Bristol came to tell them about the chemical burns on the hands of Andrew Ibrahim, who was later jailed for life for planning an attack on a shopping centre in the city.

A slow increase in trust is being replicated across the country as police forces take it upon themselves to explain that they have no role in Britain’s foreign policy, they simply want to keep everyone safe.

In one exercise, Muslim community leaders are encouraged to put themselves in the position of a control room police officer dealing with a major terrorist incident.

How ironic then, if that incident should turn out to be from one of the right-wing misfits who see violence as the answer to the problem of Islamic extremism, instead of the slow build-up of trust.

Strangely in a world in which showbusiness and reality television seem to dominate, we are in a war of ideologies.

Al-Qaeda would like the Muslim community to believe they are downtrodden and humiliated and the only way to right such wrongs is to fight back with random attacks against innocent civilians.

The narrative of the neo-Nazi, the white supremacist and many members of the BNP, is that Islam is a religion of war and aggression.

To be certain there are passages in the Koran which, like the Old Testament, are blood curdling, but to suggest anyone who follows Islam secretly wants to overturn our very way of life is simply nonsense.

If the argument stopped there, we could hope that truth would win out, unfortunately in bedrooms across the country, middle aged men are plotting a futile revenge.

In September Neil Lewington, 43, an unemployed alcoholic who lived at home with his parents in Reading, Berkshire, was sentenced to life in prison for planning a terrorist campaign using bombs in hollowed out tennis balls.

Lewington was carrying two homemade devices when he was arrested by chance after insulting a female train conductor and urinating on a platform in Lowestoft, Suffolk.

In June, Martyn Gilleard, 31, a forklift truck driver from Goole, East Yorkshire was jailed for 16 years after four nail bombs were found under his five-year-old son’s bed.

Four bombs capable of causing an explosion similar to a hand grenade were discovered along with an armoury of gun powder, fuses, live bullets, swords, axes, knives and a bayonet as well as internet material on how to poison people and make bombs. continues here

Editorial :

The rhetoric of the state is of late really rather worrying, are they planning something, are plans afoot to run an operation aimed at undermining support for the right and enabling the state to go after nationalists in a more overt manner. Certainly there is mounting evidence that they are targeting the nationalist community, we truly live in interesting times…

Britain facing threat of terror attacks from neo-Nazi 'lone wolf' figures

Britain faces a growing threat from violent right-wing extremists operating as 'lone wolves', the country's most senior anti-terror officer said today.

Assistant Commissioner John Yates said more resources had been targeted at neo-Nazis because of fears of attacks and warned of bombers operating alone and without an organised network behind them.

Mr Yates told the Commons Home Affairs Committee: 'What we have seen in recent years is a growth around some of the far-right extremism movements.

'Mostly they tend to be less organised, you tend to see the concept of the lone wolf.

'There have been several manifestations of that in past months and several arrests.

'That is something we take extremely seriously and we make sure we balance our resources to deal with that threat.'

His response came to a question from Labour MP David Winnick who asked him about racist and fascist groups who turned to violence.

This summer the so-called 'Bedroom Bomber', Neil Lewington from Reading, was convicted of planning a racist terror campaign on the streets of Britain.

The Old Bailey heard he wanted to emulate his far-right heroes, Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh and Soho nail bomber David Copeland.

His plotting was uncovered by chance when he was arrested for drunkenly abusing a train conductor and officers found he was carrying bomb parts.

Officers in West Yorkshire recently foiled an international plot to put guns and explosives in the hands of violent bigots in Britain.

At least 32 people were quizzed and 22 addresses searched across the North of England in April and May. continues here

Editorial : You see the call to monitor the right is merely an endeavour to placate the Islamic community ,themselves targeted by the state and therefore by proxy internationalists, we must remember at all times that internationalists attack the east now, having achieved somewhat of a victory here at home in the west. Yet the large and growing Islamic community is a very real threat both in a physical sense and indeed politically, therefore a “hearts and minds” initiative has been launched and who better to target, to allay non-white fears than the supposed evil right, the nationalist community.

Certainly non-whites have been breed upon a diet of leftist propaganda, fed lies about whites until they are prone to believe anything, yet nationalists merely desire freedom for their country, an end to endless immigration, the destruction of supranationalism and a curb upon mammon’s power. Yet nationalism presents as a threat should it succeed, it has very little power to defend itself and there are few non-nationalists who would defend it in an unbiased fashion, therefore it makes a convenient bogyman. Non-whites will eat it up, will take leave of their senses and submit to an equally erroneous fiction, as do most whites concerning Islam, both ideologies presenting little or no threat to internationalist ambition ,although it has to be said, Islam currently, can place more in the way of the juggernaut, than can western nationalism.

Within nationalism there are many types as there are within all ideologies, there are those who wish to confront the enemy and those that wish to play politics, yet in the main most within nationalism desire peace, desire parity, desire their rights, egalitarians, liberals and leftists deny such a right and therefore a minority of individuals within nationalism attack the system. Yet the system, is impervious to such attacks ,as indeed it is to Islam’s endeavours, I mean lets face it, an attack upon a soft target means invariably an attack upon a people without a voice and those that detrimentally change things remain completely safe, unaffected and pursue their agenda relentlessly ,what does it matter a bomb attack in London, what does it matter, as it is all propaganda to coerce the people, to impel them to accept ever tighter restrictive laws and in the very final analysis, those in ivory towers are, at least for now, untouchable, it is we, we upon the street that suffer.

Yet this drive to connect the right to terrorism is really quite worrying, more especially given the states capacity to stage events, it is worth taking on board the very really prospect of state action in order to justify anti-nationalist action, after all such an action would curtail nationalist advancement at the polls and again place leftists in favour amongst most of the non-white community, watch this space…

National Front lays wreaths at Cenotaph

The National Front has laid wreaths at the Cenotaph in a move which the Royal British Legion said "desecrated" the monument to Britain's war dead.



Hundreds of members of the far Right party marched through the streets of Westminster to the London memorial on Remembrance Sunday. It emerged last night that they placed four poppy wreaths following the official ceremony attended by the Queen.

The Royal British Legion last night condemned the act saying that they had not been given permission to place the tributes, which were laid alongside those presented by Gordon Brown, the prime minister, and David Cameron, the Tory leader.

Robert Lee, the legion's spokesman said: "This is a terrible and unfortunate desecration of one of the nation's most important and treasured monuments.

"There was no official formation representing the National Front at the ceremony in any shape or form.

"Someone must have come there afterwards and placed these wreaths on the official pile."

A news item on the party's website reported that more than 200 members had marched from Victoria in London to the historic site on Sunday.

It said that the event "passed off with dignity and peacefully" despite threats of disruption.

It said the group observed a two minute silence at the Cenotaph before members laid the wreaths on behalf of the main, ex-servicemen's, youth, and Yorkshire branches of the party.

It concludes saying the march was a "sure sign of a revitalised and resurgent NF".

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which organises the official ceremony at the Cenotaph, said the National Front had not been allocated an official place for wreaths but had not broken any rules by leaving them later. continues here

Councils warned of far-right risk

Town halls are being warned they risk missing the rise of the far-right if they just focus on Islamist extremists.

The Local Government Association says attempts to prevent violent extremism must not leave Muslims marginalised.

The warning comes amid continuing concerns from councils over the impact of the government's extremism strategy.

Communities secretary John Denham signalled in August that the strategy was developing following "constructive criticism" from some local authorities.

In a speech to council chiefs on Tuesday, Councillor Les Lawrence, of the LGA, is expected to warn that strategies to prevent violent extremism could backfire.

"It is vital to make sure that our efforts to counter extremist beliefs do not leave members of the Muslim community feeling alienated and unfairly targeted," the Birmingham councillor will say.

"Focusing solely on one part of society, or being perceived to be, can only store up resentment and problems for the future.

"Many councils have expressed deep concerns that simply focusing on Muslim communities is unfair and could lead to widespread alienation.

"There remains a very real and present danger from violent extremists, but it is vital that we focus on working with young Muslim men and women rather than creating the impression that they are all part of the problem."

Targets attacked

The government's counter-terrorism strategy has four major themes, one of which is called Prevent.

At its heart is a £62m strategy, largely run by the Department for Communities and Local Govenrnment, which is designed to root out malign influences on young British Muslims.

The strategy has had some successes and support from Muslim groups, but has also met strong opposition.

Some councils have opposed a specific Whitehall target that commits them to assess how much Muslims in their area reject and condemn violent extremism, arguing it singles them out and labels the area as a terrorism hot-spot.

Earlier this year Mr Denham announced new guidance on how the 94 councils currently receiving Prevent funding should run projects.

That document acknowledged that some schemes could split communities if they were badly designed and targeted at Muslims at the expense of wider local relations.

The new guidance urges councils to bring people from different backgrounds together rather than just considering funding Muslim-led schemes.

Mr Denham has also recently launched a plan to identify tensions in predominantly white working class areas, amid evidence of a significant rise in far-right activity over the summer.

Councillor Lawrence will tell leaders at the LGA's conference on community safety that councils are now facing a balancing act.

"Councils have to be as vigilant about the far-right as they are against terrorism," he is expected to say. continues here

European nationalist parties form alliance

Five European nationalist parties are forming an alliance in opposition to the European Union and globalization, officials said Saturday.

Hungary's Jobbik, France's National Front, Italy's Three-Color Flame, Sweden's National Democrats and Belgium's National Front formed the Alliance of European National Movements, saying the British National Party, Austria's Freedom Party as well as groups from Spain and Portugal would join them soon.

Far-right parties won a surprisingly large number of seats in June's European parliamentary elections. Jobbik got three seats and nearly 15 percent of the vote in Hungary, while the British National Party won two seats and 6 percent of the vote.

Nationalist parties are usually opposed to immigration and increased rights for homosexuals, say globalization will homogenize independent cultures and don't want supranational bodies like the European Union to limit the rights of individual countries.

"This is an important step ... for the renaissance of sovereign nations," Marc Abramsson, president of Sweden's National Democrats, said about the alliance. "It is a struggle for our own culture and heritage."

"Globalists would like to have one world, with one language and one culture. Their interest is to get money from selling the same products all over the world," Abramsson said. continues here

Editorial : By now Mr Griffin will be recovering from the mauling he received at the hands of leftists, yet for all his faults and indeed the faults of the BNP and by this I mean policy direction, his appearance on Question time has been a success, albeit due to the treatment he received rather than the argument he put over. However having watched the programme although only once, I became convinced that Mr Griffin still held fast to previously held convictions, releasing them as priced pigeons, only when forced to do so, so it is with some delight to many nationalists within Europe pertaining to the formation of The Alliance of European National Movements. Yet we must never be complacent, nationalism is a hard road, we each although striving for universal freedom look to our own people, culture and nation primarily, for this reason delegates must hold themselves in check, must realise that some groups differ in opinion and indeed, in who they advocate for.

Certainly there are some underlying difficulties relating to certain parties and individuals however we all strive for national autonomy and freedom from leftist tyranny. It is hoped therefore that The Alliance of European National Movements, will go the same way as the ITS and that each group will respect and offer friendship to the other, on this note it is heartening that Jobbik, a much maligned party and our own BNP will join forces against internationalist tyranny, it is hoped that others will join and a European bloc be formed representing Europe proper. Certainly the left would have it as a lost cause, referring in some quarters to the union as being Titanic, that is to say it will sink, it is hoped for all our sakes it does not.
