Egbert Geiecke, Kreistagsmitglied im Märkischen Kreis, soll aus der Partei Die Republikaner ausgeschlossen werden. Dies hat die Landesvorsitzende der Republikaner in NRW, Uschi Winkelsett, angekündigt: „Eine Zusammenarbeit zwischen einem Republikaner und der NPD ist undenkbar.“ Es gebe keine Kooperation „mit Parteien, die unverhohlen in einem neonationalsozialistischen Umfeld auftreten.

KA: Neonazi-Konzert als „Onkelz“-Party getarnt

de.indymedia.org | KA: Neonazi-Konzert als „Onkelz“-Party getarnt
Als „Große Böhse Onkelz Nacht“ versuchten bekannte Neonazi-Kader aus der Region Karlsruhe am 16. Februar 2008 eine rechtsextreme Veranstaltung zu tarnen. Ein Aktivist des mittlerweile verbotenen Neonazi-Netzwerks „Blood and Honour“ und der Anmelder des geplatzten Neonazi-Aufmarschs vom 01.12.2007 in Ettlingen wollen mit Partys in Erinnerung an die „Böhsen Onkelz“ ein neues Geschäftsfeld aufbauen. Der Wirt der angemieteten Gaststätte in der Karlsruher Südstadt sagte dem Veranstalter inzwischen ab, der wiederum droht mit Schadensersatzforderungen. Zwischenzeitlich hat die Band selbst die Organisation übernommen. Dieselbe Masche konnte im November 2007 in Rastatt beobachtet werden. In den vergangenen Tagen wurde in Karlsruhe und Umgebung auf Plakaten und Flyern intensiv für ein Konzert der „Kneipenterroristen“ geworben. Die „Kneipenterroristen“ sind eine Cover-Band der Gruppe „Böhse Onkelz“, die Lieder spielt, die die Originalband nicht mehr im Programm hat. Auch eine Internetseite wurde eigens für die Veranstaltung eingerichtet. (…) Für die „Große Böhse Onkelz Nacht“ wurde der Wirt einer Gaststätte in der Karlsruher Südstadt Opfer einer gezielten Täuschung eines führenden Neonazis. Hartwin Kalmus (…), Vize-Chef des mittlerweile verbotenen Neonazi-Netzwerks „Blood and Honour“ und Aktivist der „Karlsruher Kameradschaft“, fragte mehrfach an, die ca. 500 Personen fassenden Räumlichkeiten zu mieten. Im Dezember 2007 machte er dann den 16.02.08 für das Konzert der „Kneipenterroristen“ fest. Kalmus betreibt das RechtsRock-Label „Ragnarök Records“ und ist Organisator bzw. Helfer bei verschiedenen Neonazi–Konzerten. Jüngst war er bei einem „Blood & Honour“-Konzert in Belgien mit einem Stand vertreten.

Liberal MP wins unwelcome praise from white supremacists for free speech stand. A Liberal MP is being hailed as a poster boy for free speech on a white supremacist website. Victoria MP Keith Martin was praised Friday on stormfront.org, a website that proudly displays the logo „White pride world wide“ and links to radio addresses by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Martin earned the dubious distinction after giving notice that he plans to introduce a private member’s motion calling on the government to repeal Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. The controversial section prohibits electronic communication of anything deemed „likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt.“ It is at the heart of investigations by human rights tribunals into complaints against former Western Standard publisher Ezra Levant and Maclean’s magazine for publishing material some Muslim groups found offensive.

Controversial academic teaches at prince’s college

LIVENEWS.com.au > World > Controversial academic teaches at prince’s college
New Zealand historian Joel Hayward – who caused a furore with a 1993 thesis that questioned the validity of Holocaust history – is now a senior academic at the heart of the British defence establishment. Hayward, 44, is now Dean of the Royal Air Force College at Cranbourne, in England – where Prince William is undergoing pilot training, the Jewish Chronicle reported today. (…) Hayward was at the centre of a bitter controversy in 1993 when there were public calls for Canterbury University to revoke his MA, based on a thesis entitled The Fate of Jews in German Hands: An Historical Inquiry into the Development and Significance of Holocaust Revisionism. The 360-page document, which won praise from, among others, Holocaust denier David Irving, alleged that there was never an official Nazi policy to exterminate Jews in gas chambers and questioned whether six million Jews were killed. Irving, recently jailed in Austria over Holocaust denial charges, described Hayward as „New Zealand’s leading Holocaust historian“.
