States try again to ban neo-Nazi party (Germany)

Germany's states are making a renewed push to ban the country's best-known neo-Nazi party, arguing it

is basically the same as Hitler's party, and is damaging democracy.
The states - represented in the upper house of parliament, the Bundesrat - are due to submit their application for a ban to the Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe on Tuesday.

It is the second attempt to ban the NPD (National Democratic Party of Germany), after the same court rejected a submission in 2003, because too much of the crucial evidence was from party members who were acting as paid agents of the security services.

That attempt was backed by the government and Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, as well as the Bundesrat. This time the Bundesrat is going it alone, after the other two bodies decided a second attempt was unlikely to succeed.

This time around, the submission consists only of publicly available evidence, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) newspaper reported - as well as two reports from academics.
One of these talks of a "continuity in ideological direction" from historical National Socialism to the NPD. A second says that the actions of the NPD have "already led to the limitation of public democratic life at the local level."

The NPD last got 0.8 percent of the vote in Lower Saxony's state election, 1.2 percent in Bavaria and 1.1 percent in Hesse, while in September's federal election they managed 1.3 percent. They have a total of 13 state MPs in Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The submission to ban the party claims the NPD wants to violently deport foreigners and migrants, as well as those who have German citizenship but do not met their narrow definition of being German enough.

It also argues that the NPD's, "rejection of the democratic parliamentary system of government, its relativism of National Socialist injustice and the relativism of the state's monopoly on the legitimate use of force" counted as breaches of the basic order of peaceful democracy.

The FAZ also said that a security service report included in the submission suggested that one in four of the NPD's leadership nationally and in states, had criminal records for offences including assault, criminal damage, trespassing, and propaganda-related offences. Half of those convicted were, according to the report, habitual offenders and had been given prison sentences for their crimes.
The Bundestag decided to make the submission a year ago in the wake of the National Socialist Underground (NSU) case, in which a neo-Nazi gang, which had some connections to NPD functionaries, are accused of killing ten people over a period of seven years.

Mother of NSU suspect Zschäpe refuses to testify in neo-Nazi killings case (Germany)

The mother of Beate Zschäpe, the woman on trial in Germany over her alleged role in a string of neo-Nazi murders, has refused to testify. Annerose Zschäpe claimed a legal right not to testify against a close relative.

Annerose Zschäpe (pictured right), who appeared with her lawyer at the Munich Higher Regional Court on Wednesday, said she was using her right under German law to refuse to give testimony against a close relative.

In her brief, three minute appearance, the 61-year-old also directed that her statements made to officers in the November 2011 investigation of the case should not be used in court.

Beate Zschäpe is alleged to be the only surviving member of a trio known as the National Socialist Underground, which prosecutors claim embarked on an "execution-style" killing spree between 2000 and 2009.

The three, Zschäpe and the now-deceased Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Böhnhardt, were allegedly behind the murder of nine immigrants of Turkish and Greek background, as well as a German policewoman.

Prosecutors have portrayed 38-year-old Zschäpe as having been a troubled youth growing up in eastern Germany as communism came to an end - with the mass unemployment, youth crime and spread of neo-Nazi ideology that followed.

Parental failure has been an important issue in the trial, with Böhnhardt's mother giving evidence earlier in the month.

'Right, but not so extreme'

Mother and daughter, who are reported to have had a difficult relationship, were said not to have looked at each other in the courtroom.

Despite the refusal of Zschäpe's mother to testify, her cousin - identified only as Stefan A. - did speak in court on Wednesday about the childhood of the accused.

He described the defendant, with whom he grew up in the eastern German city of Jena, as "nice," but added that she was "not a girl to simply accept things." Zschäpe had right-wing leanings, he said, but these were "not so extreme" and commonplace among young people in the low-income city.

"We already had a bias towards the right then," said the 39-year-old. "We hated the state, foreigners, the left - just about everything," he said, but added that he had not directly discussed politics with Zschäpe.

Stefan A. added that he had lost contact with Zschäpe and the two men. "Uwe Mundlos disapproved of my lifestyle. I drank a lot and partied," he said, adding Mundlos had become a teetotaler.

German police and intelligence agencies have been criticized for their failure to detect a far-right motive for the killings, and for not following up a trail of clues that would have led to the group being caught.

Zschäpe is alleged to have set fire to an apartment she shared with Mundlos and Böhnhardt in the city of Zwickau, after the two died in an apparent suicide pact in November, 2011.

BNP supporters call for Execution of Human Rights head Trevor Phillips

Updated. (The video has been removed from You Tube and the user has closed his account and as stated below we have a copy and are happy to supply it to any official person.)

A video had appeared on the You Tube video sharing website today which was calling for the Execution of Human Rights head Trevor Phillips. The video called

Trevor Philips, the Man who Must be Destroyed
which was posted by a user called WandsworthBNP.

It clearly stated that Mr Phillips has now become a problem and must be removed.

In the video description by the user WandsworthBNP he states.
He has become an irratation, we must execute him

This video is an obvious incitement to violence and a death threat.


So far the video has already attracted support from other BNP supporters on the web site including.

He will NEVER be British as far as I am concerned, any more than the white scum of the UAF.

Being British is not just about where you happen to be born, it's about who you are.

These pigs will never be British

He must be DESTROYED

Posted by Morrisseyisdead

YES!

Since this item first appeared the You Tube user WandsworthBNP has closed his account and thus removed the video and because of that fact this blog item needed to be re-edited.

here is first screen shots taken from the death threat video.

and as you can plainly see in this image in the video description he calls for Mr Phillips to be executed

and if there is any doubt that WandsworthBNP was a BNP supporter, his You Tube home channel should dispel any doubts.

Relevant authorities have been contacted about this as they need to take appropriate action against such death threats. We have a copy of the original video and we are more than happy to hand it over to the police.

As the Italian authorities have recently arrested individuals for a video that was abusive to children that was only posted for a short period of time before being removed by the uploader on to You Tube I see no reason why the British law enforcement agencies should not find the person who made this video and prosecute him to the full extent of the law.

Who Says Nazi’s Cant Dance, They Can But They Really Shouldn’t

A BNP supporter on the You Tube web site some time ago posted a video of the British National Party Greater London Assembly Member Richard Barnbrook strutting his funky stuff at a function of some sort. Although this is a BNP supporters video, it has largly gone un-appreciated by us in the Anti-BNP lobby.

And watching Dicky Barnbrook gyrating proves one thing,

White Supremacists Can Dance, But I really wish they wouldn’t.

Hate Crimes Rise Follows BNP Victories

Documented cases of hate crime increased in wards in the West Midlands, London and Essex after the election of a BNP member to the local councils, despite the fall of crimes in wider police areas. These findings come as the BNP begin their 2010 general election campaign in earnest in Barking and Dagenham where party Fhurer Nick Griffin will be running.

Should we be surprised?

Well not really, what we should be more suprised about is that there are figures to demonstrate this. In 2009 the UK government released a report stating that most hate crimes are never reported, so the figures will actually be a lot higher than the Guardian newspaper story covered. Although the UK’s government recognise this fact it is having very little impact in changing it.

Only in 2009 did the USA seriously begin to recognise that hate crime incidents motivated by race, relegion, sexual orientaion were different to other crimes. And have finally establised laws to deal with the incidents, which is quite alarming when in 2009 the Sothern Poverty Law Centre (a very large civil rights organisation) stated there were 926 active ‘hate groups’ in the USA and the FBI figures for 2008 showed 9,691 incidents; that’s not all incidents in the USA, just ones serious enough to be investigated by the FBI. Up until now the hate element of the crime was not recorded by the avarage police department, so there are no reliable figures.

Now in a country where free speech allows hate speech should we be surprised that hate flourishes? Probably not. And we should not be surprised either that the BNP also campaign for the removal of laws that prevent hate speech.

The figures support the simple fact that where the BNP take hold, hate rises. And if we ever give them a free hand to remove the restrictions to prevent them using hate speech we should be ready for a hell of a lot more.

“Blow up the planes, trains and automobiles” Mr Griffin?

In a interview in the European Parliament July 2009 Nick Griffin leader of the BNP notoriously stated that “immigrants should be prevented from entering Africa by the advocation of “Sinking the Boats”.

The following is what was actually said in the interview by Nick Griffin

"But the only measure, sooner or later, which is going to stop immigration and stop large numbers of sub-Saharan Africans dying on the way to get over here is to get very tough with those coming over. Frankly, they need to sink several of those boats. Anyone coming up with measures like that, we'll support, but anything which is there as a 'oh, we need to do something about it' but in the end doing something about it means bringing them into Europe we will oppose."

Shirin Wheeler, the programme's presenter, interrupted him to say the EU did not murder people. "I didn't say anyone should be murdered at sea – I say boats should be sunk, they can throw them a life raft and they can go back to Libya," Griffin said. "But Europe has, sooner or later, to close its borders or it's simply going to be swamped by the third world."

Yet a very interesting article has appeared on the BBC website today which states that Spain, has revealed that the numbee of immigrants arriving in the country from Africa by boats has halfed in 2009.

And actually the figures state that the number of people arriving in the Canary islands by these so called boats Mr Griffin has fallen from 9,181 in 2008 to 2,246 in 2009.

We should expect this fact to be ignored by Mr Griffin and the BNP and their ilk across europe but on the other hand we might just get Mr Griffin stating they are now arriving by some other means.

So a “blow up the planes, trains and automoblies” statement might be coming soon.

UKIP go after BNP supporters with Ban Burka ploy

Submitted by Stevie D

Yesterday the UKIP party took another step towards the ideology of the BNP and their radical racial views. For some time now the BNP have been jumping up and down shouting beware Islam like some demented child and thus gaining support from people who believe their hate propaganda.

Now it appears UKIP has decided they want a piece of the action as they have now put forward their argument to ban the burka and the niqab — the Islamic cloak that covers women from head to toe.

Lord Pearson of Rannoch, the leader of UKIP said “We are taking expert advice on how we could do it. It makes sense to ban the burka — or anything which conceals a woman’s face — in public buildings. But we want to make it possible to ban them in private buildings. It isn’t right that you can’t see someone’s face in an airport.”

He went on to say “We are not Muslim bashing, but this is incompatible with Britain’s values of freedom and democracy.”.

Eh? So a value of freedom and democracy is then to ban a relegious garment?

Sorry Lord Pearson, you are talking gibberish.

Freedom and democracy gives the person the right to wear such items. Inflicting a ban on them is thus removing the persons freedom in a democracy.

Also are balaclavas, scarfs over faces, hoodies, hallowen masks also going to be banned? Or could it be just because it’s a relegious item?

Or is this as many expect a simple act to try and gain votes of the people who are torn between voting for UKIP or the BNP.

Really its not that hard to work out.

BNP Gold Member Terence Gavan sentenced to 11 years in jail

Terence Gavan the BNP Gold member has been sentenced to 11 years in prison a few hours ago. He pleaded guilty to 22 charges including making nail bombs, homemade weapons firearms manufacturing and having in possession a number of banned documents.

From a Child to Hate Preacher in 6 months with BNP grooming.

In 2009 a You Tube user by the name of Safcman appeared on the video sharing website. His first video blog post, although being critical of the ethnic minorities, was not really hateful but just views put across through misunderstanding and mixed with typical British National Party immigrant/anti-Islam, well publicised propaganda lies.

However 6-7 months on, this now teenager actively advocates the murder of Muslims and spreads racist hate through his videos and comments. Recently he posted a video that has been banned across many internet sites which, in a cartoon format, depicted a Jew stabbing a Muslim and then shouting “Anti-Semitic hate" when he was to be arrested and he now also posts extreme racial comments like the one pictured.

So how did this happen, and why?
The simple truth is the corruption of this person is not an accident.
Any user who posts a video on the You Tube web site that relates in anyway to the BNP or their views faces extreme abuse or racist grooming depending on which side of the agenda they are on.

Firstly: the people who post anti-BNP videos.

As stated anyone who posts a video that challenges or criticises the BNP or their policies runs the gauntlet of extreme abuse, stalking, false video flagging and even violent threats. Very seldom is it from just one person but more like a horde and it’s often the same people doing it.

The new video poster more than often removes the video or his comments. Although the user can and does block and report the more extreme cases, the person causing the abuse often just creates a new You Tube user profile and then just carries on with his hateful campaign.

But what if you post a video expressing concern about immigration or Islamic ideology?

The BNP supporters swarm to the video with comments of support and admiration, often their comments will create falsehoods that directly affect the user and his video. Things like “don’t expect your video to get a lot of views because the anti-bnp’ers on here make sure people don’t watch it” etc. obviously these are simple lies. More often than not the video is not well done or informative; in other words it’s simply boring.

Why does one kitten video do better than another kitten video? Who knows, but as far as we are aware there are no anti-kitten video groups on you tube controlling viewing so no cute kitten video mafia.
But through posting comments like that the BNP supporters immediately create an “them against us” and a “they want to stop all free speech” view on the site to their new prey.

Friend invites, messages, subscriptions soon follow. The new user will often post another video but now it has a little bit more extreme view, not to the level of hate speech but regular users of the site can often see the step up in racist attitude and leanings towards the BNP. And as more and more videos are uploaded their hate and leanings grow. Often they will accuse everyone who does not agree with them as being fascist, Nazi, race traitor etc. Accusations of being members of the UAF are common and the old Goering ideology of “if you’re not for us you are against us (Britain)” is claimed again and again.

So what can we do?
Active groups and users that oppose racial hate preachers need to be formed, support must be offered to people who are victims of the BNP “New User” attack, truth instead of race hate lies needs to be the standard, and facts supplied rather than name calling offered as a defence. Basically people need to do what the BNP are actively doing.
Unlike any other political party’s members the BNP are directly creating followers to their platform through this simple procedure. Not only are they creating followers they are creating the hate preachers of tomorrow. And unless people do something there will be many more Safcman’s in the years to come.
