Dom Post on extremism and free speech

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 at 12:00 pm

The Dom Post Editorial:

Few things are more abhorrent than the extreme Right and those who perpetuate its thuggish philosophies.

I always wonder why they are called extreme right, as invariably such groups support protectionism and left-wing economic policies. Take the BNP whose economic policies are:

  • anti foreign investment
  • wants the subordination of the power of the City to the power of the government
  • self sufficiency in food production
  • is critical of corporatism and big capitalism
  • seeks to reduce income inequality

The arrival in the Hutt Valley of supporters of the far-Right National Front, Right wing Resistance and New Zealand Nationalist Alliance at the weekend is only slightly more concerning. With their truncated version of the Nazi symbol, skinheads and their sparsely-attended parade through Wellington’s streets, they succeeded only in demonstrating they are inconsequential and have no support in New Zealand.

True.

An anti-racism campaigner was appalled that a holiday park allowed the groups to stay. However, the alternative – allowing discrimination on the grounds of political belief – would not only be illegal, it would also be a difficult concept for many New Zealanders to swallow.

There is a sensible middle group. Don’t discriminate on the basis of membership or belief, but hell if I owned a holiday park, and you started waving a swastika about, you’d be gone.

More difficult to resolve is the debate raging in Britain over whether British National Party leader Nick Griffin should have been given a slot on the BBC’s Question Time programme. Those who believe he should not, argue that it gave his whites-only party an undeserved aura of political respectability. They claim 3000 expressed interest in joining the party just before and after the appearance.

BBC bosses argue that, as a state broadcaster, the corporation has to cover all political parties with a national presence – something it judges the BNP to have achieved because, though it has no MPs at Westminster, in European parliamentary elections this year it won two seats with just under a million votes.

The BBC is right in principle and in practice. A principled democracy cannot simply silence views that the majority disagree with.

Absolutely.  And a state broadcaster especially must not censor minority views.

In practice, Mr Griffin’s appearance has simply revealed his politics for the illogical farrago of prejudices they are. He floundered over whether he denied the Holocaust had taken place and defended the Ku Klux Klan as “almost totally non-violent”.

Griffin tries to pretend that he is now merely a defended of indigenous Brits. He is a former National Front member (he joined at age 14) and not only is he a Holocaust denier, he even criticised David Irving for admitting the number of Jews who died may be up to four million. He has also praised the Waffen SS and ironically attacked the RAF for its bombing of Nazi Germany.

He has also attempted to form an Alliance with Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini!

There is no room for complacency about those who preach the politics of hate, but the way to deal with them is to confront them and expose their policies to the unblinking light of reason. The alternative – pretending they do not exist – simply feeds their conspiracy theories and allows their distortions to grow unchallenged.

Again – I agree. One reason I publish regular updates on the National Front and its various splinter groups.

Radio interview with the new National Front leader

Saturday, February 7th, 2009 at 4:11 pm

Oh this is wonderful listening. Mark Graham from George FM talks to Colin Ansell, current leader of the National Front. They want to become a political party and their policies include:

  • state ownership of our assets and resources
  • taking back what has been sold
  • against more prisons – execute criminals after third strike
  • they are not against homosexuals, just want them deported – they can live elsewhere
  • want a ban on immigration until every NZer who wants a job has a job
  • would prevent homosexuals occurring by teaching the virtues of heterosexual behaviour
  • wants no sex outside marriage
  • thinks immigration should be white only
  • No issue with Jews nowadays, as they have their own country and they should go there. No need for them to live in NZ now.

If you have half an hour, listen to it – it really is funny – albeit unintentionally.

Neo Nazi Infighting

Friday, January 30th, 2009 at 11:00 am

I blogged a couple of weeks ago on Kyle Chapman’s Nationalist Alliance plans to have a whites only community in North Canterbury. That story made both TV channels, newspapers and press (and not a single one of them credited the source of the story but hey it’s a public service).

Anyway Mr Chapman has sent out a further missive, and in it says:

The NF as an org have decided they do not endorse the Land Base. I do encourage NF members to let their officers know how they feel about this project that IS very valuable to our movement.

So you have the National Front saying they don’t support the whites only community, and the Nationalist Alliance urging their members who are also NF members to change the mind of the National Front.

This is why I don’t think it is going to happen anytime soon!

Neo Nazi Watch

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 at 4:00 pm

Spies have forwarded on this email:
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:46:03 +1300
From: info@nationalistalliance.org.nz
Subject: Nationalist Land base

Hello Patriots

Nationalist Land base

Introduction

With an ever decreasing European population we face the real risk of  having no power in our Nation. It currently crumbles through the  current system of bad government policies, greedy politicians and businessmen. We must act to build a unified mini state that we could build up in future to be a base for other like minded Europeans to come to from other dieing countries.
Oh yes a whites only mini state is just what we want in NZ. Mind you I suspect Jewish Europeans are also unwelcome, even if they are white. Aryans only basically.

Donations needed

We need your commitment. This is your chance to put in some support  for our cause and its future. You can be remembered for something real. Please help us to make this  happen. We need your help!

All Organisations that Help will have a shield of banner on the wall of the meeting house. All individuals who help will have their name on  the plaque we put on the longhouse wall. We have a few people already  who will commit to sell their own properties and move as close to the  base as possible. Some of us have set up Auto payments and personal donations. Please put your donations into this bank account:

Name: Nationalist Alliance
Number: 03 1591 0227948 00
Bank: Westpac (Eastgate, Christchurch

Wow donate now and you get your own shield of banner.

Location

The First Base we set up will be in North Canterbury area somewhere.  This will be reviewed at the time of purchase. Once we have created a strong area with an active base for recruiting and building a money base we will be able to buy other areas around New Zealand.

First North Canterbury, then New Zealand. Lucky Clayton Cosgrove gets to host the first neo nazi base. At least they might take care of the boy racers!

Proposed Features of the base
• Meeting house (longhouse) for Gatherings of leaders and active Nationalists.
• Bunk Rooms for young single people who are either visiting or want  to live in cheap accommodation.
• Unit sized Gotages for couples and small families.
• Schooling for our children.
• Work shop for engineering activities, wood work, and other relevant  items we could create.
• Training area for sport fighting.
• Survivalist Training.
• Teaching improved lifestyles through returning to a nature based living style.
• Large Vegetable garden to not only supply the community with fresh vegetables but also give surplus to local people to build support.
• Tap into a natural water supply.
• Social Bar for fundraising and building unity with social activities.
• Protected community.
• Create a few small businesses so that we can create a trade system and bring in profits from outside our communities that will help us to  buy more land and keep building.

Well the vegetable garden and natural water supply sound most laudable. A school for their own childrenwould be fascinating.

Benefits

• High concentration of like minded folk to elect local officials into the area.
• Elect an MP for the area.

First take over the Waimakariri District Council, then get your own MP. Watch out Clayton!

• Keep our children away from the multicultural brainwashing of current system schools.
• Get our people back on track with a more stable and relaxed
lifestyle that teach self care and community care.
• Encouraging, supportive and friendly interaction with like minded people.
• Safety in numbers.
• Ability to put our European skills and intelligence to create new  technologies and build something to be proud of.

Kyle Chapman

Personally I like the idea of all the white supremacists living together.

Winston does have some support though

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 at 9:00 pm

Winston does have some support still. Apart from Helen and certain left wing blogs, Winston has gained an endorsement.

It is from Kyle Chapman:

Q: i am wondering who should i vote for in the upcoming election.

A: It has to be NZ first, ignore the antimedia.

Now who is Kyle Chapman? He is the former national director of the New Zealand National Front.

It’s nice that white nationalists and neo-nazis have guidance on who to vote for.
