Update: Noble Reported Released

Bill Noble was released from the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre in British Columbia on Friday, April 25, 2008 after serving two months of a four month prison sentence for violating Canadian hate crime laws. Noble will also have to abide by other restrictions, including a three year period where he will not be allowed to access the Internet or being in the vicinity of a computer that has the ability to access the Internet. We imagine there might also be restrictions on whom he may associated with as well, however this is not yet certain.

Noble is a member of the Calgary based neo-nazi gang the Aryan Guard. He has a long history of associating with racists before his involvement with the Aryan Guard, including Glenn Bahr (founder and leader of Western Canada For Us), Nathan Touchette, Ciaran Donnelly, Jessica Beaumont, Paul Fromm, Terry Tremaine, and many others.

White Pride? Who Do They Think They're Kidding?

On March 21, 2008, the Aryan Guard (updated as of April 26, 2008) marched through downtown Calgary under the banner of "White Pride." "White Pride" is a phrase used by racists to sound as if they are not in fact racists, but merely proud of their heritage. They complain about the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day in United States and Black History month and claim that if minorities can be proud of their heritage, then why can't they? "It's discrimination against White folks," they lament and caterwaul about the terrible injustice that they are not allowed to be proud of their heritage, ignoring the fact that days commemorating European heritage already exist, including but not limited to Saint Patrick's Day, Columbus Day, Robbie Burns Day, Thanksgiving, Oktoberfest, St. Steven's Day, Victoria Day, Polish Heritage Month, and so on and on and on. But why would racists allow facts to get in the way of their propaganda message?

So "White Pride" was the mantra of the Aryan Guard on May 21, 2008 and has been since it's inception. In fact, one Aryan Guard member was quoted on the day of the rally by a reporter from the "Calgary Herald":

"We're just proud to be white, that's all. Why can't we be proud to be white?"

The Aryan Guard posted the following on their website regarding the march, again calling their march a rally for White Pride:

One Peoples Project

We haven't updated for a while with the exception of Bill Noble in his prison garb. Considering the Aryan Guard march on March 21 this might appear as if we've dropped the ball. In fact we will be posting updated information on the march which will include a number of identifications. However, our main writer has been busy with another project.

Late last month, Daryle Lamont Jenkins who runs the One Peoples Project based out of New Jersey invited to write about Canadian issues on his site. In response we've been updating some of the Canadian entries in the Rogue Gallery (BILL NOBLE and BILL WHATCOTT) and writing some new entries (TOMASZ WINNICKI and MELISSA GUILLE). We're trying to get a handle on the inner workings of the website, but Jenkins has been very helpful by cleaning up and editting the articles that we've written for the OPP site.

We will not abandon this site, but since all of us have jobs outside this project we're going to beg your patience as we work on presenting information on the far right in Canada for two websites.
