Geert Wilders in Australia, February 2013

Update (February 19) : The venue for Wilders’ trouble-making in Melbourne on Tuesday, February 19 is La Mirage Reception & Convention Centre, 210 Hume Highway, Somerton. The venue can be contacted on (03) 9305 4855. A picket is being held at the venue from 6pm.

Update ( February 8 ) : Wilders’ tour appears almost certain to attract protest and it also seems that the venue originally booked by the Q Society in Sydney has cancelled its booking. Note that one of Wilders’ most recent project is an initiative intended to stop the construction of any further churches synagogues supermarkets mosques in the Netherlands.

Not that he’s got anything against Muslims: it’s teh Muslamics what done it.

Update : Fairfax has an article on Wilders’ tour titled ‘White supremacists ready for fight’ (Natalie O’Brien, The Age, February 2, 2012). It refers, inter alia, to the ‘Australian New Nation’ website — established several years ago in order to replace the White Pride Coalition of Australia site — and the Internet radio show ‘Australia Calling’. ‘Australia Calling’ is produced by Brisbane nazi Carl D Thompson, who briefly came to public attention some years ago when, after publishing some anti-Semitic material, he lost his job editing the One Nation newspaper.

Muslim-hating Dutch rightist Geert Wilders is gonna be touring Down Under in a few weeks. The Flying Dutchman’s tour is being organised by an anti-Islamic group known as the Q Society, and Wilders is scheduled to speak in Melbourne on the 19th, Perth on the 20th and Sydney on the 22nd of February, with the venues only being announced a day or two prior.* Unsurprisingly, having already roused controversy, Wilder’s tour is expected to generate some opposition, but also a good deal of support, especially among the far-right fringe. To that end, a number of individuals drawn from racist and fascist groups will be attending Wilder’s events :– some ostensibly in order to protect them from disruption.

Or were . . .

Within 48 hours of declaring that it was the sacred duty of White racialists to attend Wilder’s event in Sydney — largely in order to show the dastardly Reds who’s boss — Welf Herfurth — the leader of the minuscule forces of the New Right (NR) in Australia — changed his mind, and declared it to be a positively dreadful idea, one which risked aligning the NR with Zionists (ergo Jews).

Well, kinda . . .

Actually, the former NPD, ON and Democrats (!) member was admonished by his master, Troy Southgate, to pull his head in and think a li’l moar about the implications of aligning his handful of followers with The Jew. Thus:

Note that Herfurth’s mob last reared its head in Sydney back in November, when police provided them a platform at a Palestine solidarity rally; Herfurth himself is a Holocaust denialist and strong supporter of his kamerad Uncle Fred Toben.

Australian Protectionist Party & Conservative Islamophobia

Of course, support for Wilder’s message also extends deep into the conservative heartland, and includes prominent Muslim-baiters in the Tory party as well as handsomely-paid hacks in the corporate and state media. Further, the conservative embrace/promotion of paranoid fears over Muslamics has stolen a good deal of oxygen from a number of racist, right-wing fringe-dwellers, including Anders Breivik’s friends in the Australian Protectionist Party (APP). Just five short years after its foundation as a more ‘moderate’, less anti-Semitic version of the Australia First Party (AF), the APP has undergone its first major crisis, with the entirety of its Sydney branch decamping in order to establish yet another marginal bunch of kooks, this time modelled on Wilder’s Freedom Party (the APP modelled itself on the BNP). Whether or not the handful who spat the dummy can actually assemble another party remains to be seen, but given that they were the only active members the APP possessed the Protectionists seem doomed to disappear back into oblivion.

Or perhaps not.

Andrew Phillips, APP National Chairman, has relocated himself and his PO Box to Tasmania, while the party continues to nominate two others as contacts for NSW and VIC. Having lost perennial losers Darrin Hodges and Nicholas Hunter-Folkes, Phillips is now begging someone — anyone — to nominate themselves to undergo the humiliation of losing another popularity contest. Those interested can write to P.O. Box 170, Dover, Tasmania 7117 (which also functions as the postal address of Meals On Wheels in that part of the world).

*According to Q, “Details will be advised to paid-up patrons 48 hours prior to event. Expect a function centre within easy reach of the CBD. Photo ID is required to enter; only one small handbag per patron permitted into the venue.” Paul Sheehan writes for the defence here and you can read more about the Q Society on their webshite.

(More) Bloody Foreigners Making Trouble

Overseas: Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka ‘Tommy Robinson’ aka ‘Paul Harris’), the leader of the E E EDL, has been sentenced to 10 months jail for ‘possession of a false identity document with improper intention’, viz entering the US to attend an anti-Muslim gathering using a false passport. (Tommy’s troubles mirror those of Martin Brennan, another whinging Pom and the former leader of the A A ADL, forcibly expelled from Australia in August 2011 for immigration offences.) Also in attendance at the gathering in New York in September last year was Yanqui crackpot Robert Spencer. Spencer is described as ‘VP Islamic Scripture and History’ for the Q Society and runs a loon website called jihadwatch; the Coordinator for Victoria/Tasmania and Secretary of the Society is Ralf Schumann; Andrew McDonald is their Administrator in NSW while in Perth Debbie Robinson Coordinates teh stoopid. Anyway, here’s a picture of the patriotic sheila from Perf (Debbie Robinson) and two foreign loons (Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer) holding the Strayan flag at SION:

More on Geert’s tour later maybe . . .

Inglourious Basterds bloc!

In the US, the Hollywood Nazis belonging to the ‘National Socialist Movement’ (NSM) are planning on holding a rally at the Arizona State Capitol on November 7, 2009. Which is not especially noteworthy, as the NSM regularly assembles tiny numbers of its members to wave flags in public (in Riverside, CA over the weekend, approximately 20 nutzis, with an Honour Guard of local police, faced a crowd of 600 counter-protestors — a few ‘Brown Berets’ managed to have a brief exchange of views), but their latest step on the path to seizing state power has finally — finally! — triggered the inevitable: the formation of an Inglourious Basterds bloc!

Word on the street is that ‘The Bear Jew’ will be the bloc’s leader…

On an even sillier note, earlier this year, Dr James Saleam — the leader of the ‘Australia First Party’ — was interviewed by Carl D. Thompson — Australia’s sole member of the NSM — on his radio show (January 10, 2009).

Previously, Herr Doktor provided the following, highly entertaining profile of silly old Carl. While ‘This article was suspended from [Saleam’s] site on April 3 2005′, it’s so entertaining that it really deserves to be in permanent circulation. Note that Carl got into heap ’em big trouble with ZOG — aka, the ECAJ — a few years ago for publishing some anti-Semitic batshit in the ‘One Nation Party’ newspaper; trouble which got him fired from his job and castigated in court (see : ‘One Nation’s publication of anti-Jewish material declared unlawful in Federal Court’, ECAJ, February 6, 2006).

Anyway, here’s what Jim had to say about Carl before they made nice and Jim was a featured guest on the Hollywood Nazi radio show:

Howl, You Bitch! Time For ‘Howlingdog88’ To Tell Us If He Is ‘Leonard’ The Pornographer, Mental Patient And Pervert!
Neo-Nutzi Brisbane Boss Won’t Last Long After New Revelations!

Jim Saleam

A neo-nazi meeting was supposedly held in Brisbane’s northern suburb of Zillmere on January 30. It was designed ‘to bring white nationalist groups together’ – and otherwise promote a new would-be fuhrer over some genuine youths. However, it seems these youth may get more than they bargained for.

Carl Derrick Thompson writes on Stormfront chat-rooms as ‘Howlingdog88’. He has just been booted from One Nation after his ‘clever infiltration’ caused the shutdown of the party paper, media harassments and other destabilisation. As he tells it, it’s because he has a ‘hard line’ and the ‘softies’ just couldn’t cope. That’s the old, old, story of the nutzi infiltration game. Recently, Mr. Thompson took charge of the ‘White Pride Coalition Of Australia’ (WPCA) Brisbane group after ‘Streicher’ resigned a while ago. The Zillmere meeting was Mr. Thompson’s way of entering into a wider circle – to pollute, twist and corrupt some youth away from any nationalist road – and into the dead-end of neo-nutzism.

However, the tracks are about to fall off his panzer.

Is Carl Thompson – ‘Leonard’? Leonard? Who is Leonard?

I have received from an official of the One Nation party relevant pages from Brendan Shanahan, The Secret History Of The Gold Coast: A Journey Into The Dark Side Of Paradise (Penguin 2004). At pages 118 – 123, we meet a character code-named ‘Leonard’.

His biographical details are identical to Mr. Thompson. ‘Leonard’ is described as follows:

He lives near the Gold Coast; He is married with three children; he was in the Army; he was into witchcraft in its’ ‘black’ and ‘white’ versions; he was a journalist; he was a Satanist; he had a penis enlargement operation; he sold Amway; he sold real-estate; he took a high dose of anti-depressive medication.

Those who know Thompson know these facts – and some others too. Quite clearly, Thompson is Leonard.

Mr. Thompson reveals himself as a man craving some sort of domination or “power”. Quite openly, he recounts that he was heavily involved in the pornography ‘industry’, producing magazines and consuming (sic) pornography himself. He wants to be better than those in the game whom he describes as “liars, thieves, scum suckers”. What disturbed me are the following quotations. The reader may judge them for himself.

“I mean women want to be tied up; they want to be dominated; they want to be humiliated and the politicians tell us they can’t. I think Hitler had it right when he said ‘Western politicians are all spineless worms.’”

This moral filth means that in the mind of Mr. Thompson his version of neo-nazism is on a par with lording over women.

It gets sicker:

“Yes, and my wife watches enormous amounts of gay porn. When I’m not home she watches a guy get butt-f***ed and pumps herself with a dildo. Good luck to her”.

Such a fun family! The children are also aware of father’s ‘business’. Have they been ‘introduced’ to it?

“My daughter, who is ten, told her teacher just recently. And she was fascinated as most young women are about pornography.”

Is Mr. Thompson worried about the criminal element and his business?

“If some organised crime heavy came to lean on me, [I’d] shoot him dead. I’d kill him and then I’d kill his whole family. The government spent a lot of money turning me into a trained killer care of the Australian army.”

Further research into Howlingdog88 reveals that he is a fantasiser of the first order. Carl Thompson is a manic depressive ([b]ipolar [d]isorder) who receives a Disability Support Pension. He takes his medicine, but in the case of any variety of severe [d]epression, medication is not always effective. I would posit a guess that Howlingdog88 is a personality-creation of the ‘high’ period (this period can last for a long time) in his cycle. Once this nutter crashes to earth again, any followers will be left high and dry.

Carl Thompson has phases in his political life in the past. He emerged in shadowy patriotic groups in the early 1980s, did nothing and drifted off. I met him just briefly on two occasions. He went through the groups, poking about to see if there was excitement to be had. But it was all hard work, so he wasn’t interested. Now with neo-nazism, he has a potential to play games, big note, dream in public.

For the nationalists however, this man is dead-dangerous to Australian ‘white nationalist and patriotic’ youth. I do not mean violently dangerous: after all, he was disciplined in the Army for refusing an order that involved hard work, but because such intellect as he retains can cause him to organise events and happenings which could lead them into the arms of the law. He could lead them into a few months of wild activity of no result. Obviously too, if this man is involved in pornography, the criminal element isn’t far behind. No youth needs this complicating factor in his politics!

Fuhrer? I don’t think so. We are dealing with another piece of pathos, part of the sick liberal-capitalist system in decay.

Hitler? Poor old Adolf might well have known how to deal with him!

Finally, note that AF declared in July, and again last month, that it was registering with the AEC, but the AEC has yet to provide any further details.

In the meantime, Saleam (“Saleam [Saa-leem],” I say, “isn’t a very European-sounding name.” “It’s pronounced Saleam [Sail-’em],” he says, correcting me. “Saleam.”) has been profiled in the Good Weekend, has spoken at the Petersham RSL, and last weekend jackbooted his way through Wellington (Aotearoa/New Zealand) alongside of the neo-Nazi ‘National Front New Zealand’.
