NPD-Fraktionsgelder für Neonazi-Propaganda-Videos zweckentfremdet?

In einer Eingabe an den Oberbürgermeister der Stadt Völklingen hat der Stadtverordnete der Linken, Paul Ganster, darauf hingewiesen, dass die NPD-Fraktion ihre Fraktionsräume im Neuen Rathaus dazu nützt, dort Propagandavideos zu produzieren, welche dann auf verschiedenen rechtsextremen Plattformen im Internet verbreitet werden. Frank Franz, NPD-Landesvorsitzender, der sich in der Öffentlichkeit gerne als Saubermann präsentiert, mißbraucht einem Bericht der Saarbrücker Online Zeitung zufolge damit eindeutig die allein für Aufgaben der Fraktion überlassenen Räumlichkeiten in rechtswidriger Weise für Parteizwecke. In diesem Zusammenhang wies Ganster dem Bericht zufolge auch darauf hin, dass der sich als bürgerlich darstellende NPD-Landes- und Fraktionsvorsitzende Frank Franz auch Inhaber der Internetseite “saarsturm.de” ist, unter der sich bekannte saarländische Rechtsextreme der militanten Kameradschafts-Szene sammeln. Darunter befindet sich unter anderem auch Andreas Neumann, einer der Köpfe der ehemaligen “Kameradschaft Tollwütige Wölfe” (Völklingen-Wehrden), welche 2006 einem Verbot durch Selbstauflösung zuvorkam. Auch das sogenannte “Sommerfest” der NPD in Völklingen wurde überwiegend von Mitgliedern der “Kameradschaft Saarsturm” besucht. So entlarvt sich der sich als “gemäßigt” darstellende Frank Franz als Verbündeter und Förderer der militanten Neonazi-Szene im Saarland.

Die rechtsradikale Partei Jobbik feierte den ungarischen „Helden“ Miklós Horthy

Jobbik feierte den ungarischen „Helden“ Miklós Horthy. Ohne größere Sicherheitsprobleme ging am Sonntag eine Veranstaltung der rechtsradikalen Partei Jobbik zu Ende, die den 90. Jahrestag des Einmarschs von Miklós Horthy in Budapest zum Thema hatte. Ungefähr 1.500 bis 2.000 Menschen vesammelten sich zu einer „Gedenkveranstaltung“. Als sich einer Prozession der Rechtsradikalen auch rund 400 Mitglieder der verbotenen „Ungarischen Garde“ anschließen wollten, unterband die Polizei ihnen den Zugang zum Veranstaltungsort.

Unannounced neo-Nazi demonstration ends in attacks, 48 arrested

Neo-Nazis who attempted to disrupt the celebrations of the 17 November anniversary in the center of Prague by holding two unannounced demonstrations yesterday afternoon did not succeed. About 300 right-wing extremists had their plans spoiled by police, who kept them away from the reenactment of the march held 20 years ago between Albertov and Národní třída. The neo-Nazis did succeed in attacking three random people; they also threw stones and glass bottles at the police and kicked their vehicles. There were 48 arrests. Romea.cz followed the events on-line.

Čeněk Růžička: Czech schools must teach more about the harm of Nazi ideology

Last week a public hearing was held in the upper chamber of the Czech Parliament on the topic “Protecting Society from Neo-Nazism”. One of those who participated in the discussion was the chair of the Committee for the Redress of the Roma Holocaust, Čeněk Růžička, one of the country’s leading Roma personalities. We spoke with him about neo-Nazism and racism, the position of Roma in society, the approach of the majority society toward the Roma, and what the Roma themselves need to improve. Růžička is most bothered by two things: The large number of Romani children in “special” education and the lack of instruction at elementary schools about the harmfulness of Nazi ideology and the methods used by the Nazis to put that ideology into practice. He is also bothered by the continually deteriorating social situation of the Roma.

Revealed! David Irving Can Be a Jerk

So secretive is Holocaust denier David Irving that he often doesn’t reveal the locations of his lectures until hours before they’re scheduled to begin — and even then, he only tells vetted guests. It must have been a blow, therefore, when his private E-mails appeared on the Internet, courtesy of self-described anti-fascist hackers. The E-mails, along with the username and password for Irving’s website and AOL E-mail account, were posted last week on WikiLeaks, a website that publishes leaked documents. The messages reveal that it’s not only anti-racists who clash with the long-winded Hitler apologist: Irving’s own assistant, a young blonde woman named Jaenelle Antas, berated him repeatedly for his churlishness. In a Nov. 7 E-mail, for instance, Antas wrote that Irving recently had been “snotty, rude, and disrespectful toward me.” She also said she was thinking about quitting. “I don’t care if you are frustrated, angry, stressed out, tired, or whatever — treating anybody like the way you have been treating me is unacceptable,” she wrote. “I bend over backwards to help you out on this tour, doing jobs that last year you would have done yourself, and not just making bookings, but also doing things like driving, helping you secure funds to reprint books and locating second-hand books. The only thanks I usually get are long whines about how something isn’t exactly perfect. Why would anyone in the world want to work with or even be friends with someone who is acting the way you have been acting lately? You like to say you treat me better than anyone else does, but the truth is, lately you have treated me worse than anyone else ever has. It hurts my feelings, it makes me angry and resentful, and it makes me question whether or not I should be doing this job anymore.”

£2,000 ‘was for gigs, not racist CDs’

A JERSEYMAN accused of paying £2,000 to import racist CDs into Jersey told a London court yesterday that the money was for a series of hard-rock gigs in east London. William Browning (39), a former Les Quennevais School pupil, claimed that he needed the cash to promote Polish punk act The Gits and called the lead singer to give evidence on his behalf. Mr Browning, who admits that he was member of violent right-wing organisation Combat 18, is accused of trying to incite racial hatred using Neo-Nazi ‘blood and honour’ records. In July 2006 Jersey Customs officers intercepted a package of 100 CDs sent from Poland and addressed to a tattoo parlour in Hope Street owned by his childhood friend and co-defendant Jon Denny-Mallen (40). The albums, entitled Deutschland and recorded in the 1990s by one of Mr Browning’s former groups, No Remorse, contained inflammatory racist and anti-Semitic lyrics.

Anti-facist camp clashes with skinheads in Moscow

A simmering confrontation between far-right youths and anti-racist activists has erupted into Moscow’s streets after the fatal shooting of an anti-racist activist known as the Bonebreaker. The violence stems from deep animus between two aggressive camps with starkly different visions of Russia’s future — neo-Nazi skinheads who rank in the tens of thousands, and militant anti-racist groups that call themselves Antifa, short for anti-fascist. Former punk rocker Ivan Khutorskoi, 26, provided security for meetings of antifascists. He also was known for organizing underground bare-knuckle boxing matches among them, and taking part in violent attacks on ultranationalists. Khutorskoi was gunned down in his apartment building on the city’s outskirts Monday night. A day later, dozens of masked men pelted the headquarters of the pro-Kremlin youth group Young Russia with stones, trash and steel rods, Young Russia’s leader said.

Riot police break up Hungarian neo-Nazi group meeting

Police in riot gear broke up a recruiting meeting of the outlawed neo-Nazi Hungarian Guard. Some 50 uniformed guardsmen were on hand last Friday at a beer hall at Csepel, a poor industrial suburb of the Hungarian capital, when some 200 police arrived to break up the meeting to launch a national recruitment campaign. The commander of the Guard called for reinforcement, and some 400 guardsmen were rushed to the scene, but diplomatic bargaining ended the confrontation. Police made three arrests. A landmark court ruling earlier this year banned the paramilitary Guard, the private army of the extreme nationalist Jobbik Party. The Guard displays the colors and marches to the tunes of the defunct Arrow Cross, a Hungarian movement that murdered thousands of Jews, Gypsies and political dissidents during the Holocaust. The ruling also banned the uniform.

No live eyewitnesses left for Nazi guard trial

The trial of alleged mass murderer John Demjanjuk, due to start on November 30 in Munich, will take place without any eyewitnesses, it emerged this weekend. Weekly magazine Focus reported that although 23 witnesses had been named, and five from Russia and Ukraine had been expected, they are long-dead. Demjanjuk is accused of assisting in 27,900 murders during his time as a guard in the Sobibor concentration camp in what was then Poland, during 1943. His defence lawyer Günther Maull told the magazine witness statements had been produced, but added, “The men were questioned 30 years ago – at least in part in the Soviet Union and possibly under pressure. Whether their statements have any value as evidence is questionable.”

Ukraine OKs Presidential Run for Controversial Mayor

A Ukrainian mayor who said Jews are to blame for all of the country’s problems can run for president. Ukraine’s Central Elections Committee last week authorized the candidacy of Sergey Ratushniak, the mayor of Uzhgorod, for the Jan. 17 elections. On Wednesday, 20 Israeli parliament members sent a letter to Ukrainian officials condemning the decision, the Jerusalem Post reported. The letter expressed concern that there is a “wave of anti-Semitism in the Ukraine that has come to a peak with the authorization of Ratushniak, the current mayor of Uzhgorod, to run for President.” Ratushniak “has the viewpoint of a Nazi. He denies the Holocaust, and has threatened the Jewish community. He caused an outbreak of hatred towards our people and the State of Israel,” the letter says, according to the Post.

Another racially motivated arson attack on Roma in the Czech Republic?

East Bohemian police in Náchod district are investigating several recent attacks on a Romani family in Červený Kostelec. The most recent attack evidently occurred on Tuesday 17 November, when someone set fire to part of their home. In an enormous stroke of luck, the municipal police were driving past at the time and saved the family’s life. „We saw flames blazing from the wooden porch of the house and we woke the people up,” municipal police patrolman Ivo Havíř told the news server tn.cz. The server reports that the attack is not an isolated one. Someone recently scratched a swastika on the families’ cars and threw a rock through the window of the room where one child sleeps. „I don’t know, there are certain individuals here who don’t want us here,” one of the Romani residents said to tn.cz when asked about the possible cause of their misfortune. Local Roma are afraid and are standing guard, watching over their homes through the night.

Lawyer for Victim in Neo-Nazi Case Exploring Suit Against Hotel, Nazi Historian

The Ritz-Carlton in Manalapan: an unlikely place for a neo-Nazi stabbing. The stabbings that occurred October 26, during a presentation by a Nazi historian at the Ritz-Carlton were a one-sided affair, it seems. That is, Christopher Nachtman stabbed John Kopko — multiple times. And now the attorney for Kopko suspects that the Palm Beach State Attorney's Office is considering a charge against Nachtman for attempted murder. „It was unprovoked and Mr. Kopko was unarmed,“ says Lee Levenson, the Boynton Beach attorney representing Kopko. „We believe he was trying to kill Mr. Kopko — right in front of (Kopko’s) family.“ Levensen denied reports that the fight was an outgrowth of tension between two rival skinhead groups — Volksfront and the Confederate Hammerskins. Pressed to offer a theory about what made Nachtman attack, Levenson said: „I think the guy's just a nut job — I think you have to be to just attack someone like that and nearly stab them to death.“ (…) But some of the blame for what happened, says Levenson, belongs to that event’s speaker: David Irving, a Holocaust denier who in the days following the attack was quick to distance himself from Nachtman. A source who wrote to Juice yesterday reported that on the contrary Irving expressly invited Nachtman, in hopes of getting his book prominently displayed at Nachtman’s store.
