BNP bust

Oops! The British National Party's member list gets leaked to the general public. As in, a list of every member of the party. Evidently it's even being BitTorrent'ed. Needless to say, this is a bit of a problem for them:

[M]ost embarrassingly of all, an assortment of file notes providing information on their members’ employment, hobbies and interests. The former could prove particular problematic for those members of the armed forces and police for whom the BNP is a proscribed organisation. That said, the list apparently also includes construction managers, receptionists, district nurses, lay preachers, company directors and teachers, some of whom could find themselves with much explaining to do if the list remains in the wild and starts to be widely circulated.

Couldn't happen to a meaner group of people. Liberal Conspiracy has some fun with it:


There are some map links too -- a "heat map" too. A whole site full of lolcats.
Funny.

On the other hand, it appears that many on the list are not even in the Party (well, not any more). So they've been inflating their membership stats -- naughty, naughty.

Updates from Lancaster Unity -- which turns out to be the go-to site for all things BNP.

Oy.

Skinheads arrested in murder spree plot. AP:

The ATF says it has broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree. In court records unsealed Monday, agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target an unnamed but predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads.

That's all they have, but look for more developments over the next few days. Further reports relayed by TPM say that the 102 number comes from 88 + 14. They were going to shoot 88 blacks and decapitate 14. Christ.

So, as we asked last time skinheads on meth were arrested with an anti-Obama plot: Were they just hopped up on drug-inflated plans, or actually serious? Well, so far it seems like they seriously planned to kill 100 people; they didn't think they could get Obama but planned to die trying.

And of course nobody could have anticipated that the Republicans' rhetoric of anti-americanism and racial agitation would have potential violent consequences.

UPDATE: More details from AP. ("Feds disrupt alleged skinhead plot to kill Obama")

I hate Illinois Nazis...

....but the Republican candidate for IN-2 LOOOOOVES THEM!!!

C&L has the video here:

On Sunday, Tony Zirkle, a Republican candidate for Indiana’s 2nd District, took time out from saving the economy by shredding vintage Playboys (of course!) so he could attend a 119th birthday celebration for Adolf Hitler. He claims he was only there to talk about his experience as a state’s attorney in Indiana, his wacky theories about pornography, and to preach the gospel, so of course his being there had absolutely nothing to do with his segregation plan that would allow blacks to “have six states, so instead of having one half-black senator, well they would have 12.”

The Bilerico Project (Indiana politcal blog) has Zirkle's lame excuses and also some video here.

South Bend Tribune:

During a news conference Monday afternoon, Zirkle said he accepted an invitation to address the group to spread his anti-pornography message.

An account of the gathering on www.Overthrow.com says "Zirkle spoke on his history as a state's attorney in Indiana, prosecuting Jewish and Zionist criminal gangs involved in trafficking prostitutes and pornography from Russia and the Zionist entity.''

Lovely how consistent the Nazi message is over 80 years -- Jewish Commie Darkie Homos are after your women and destroying your families!!!!

Northwest Indiana Times:

A congressional candidate is defending his speech to a group celebrating the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth, saying he appeared simply because he was asked.

Tony Zirkle, who is seeking the Republican nomination in Indiana's 2nd District, stood in front of a painting of Hitler, next to people wearing swastika armbands and with a swastika flag in the background for the speech to the American National Socialist Workers Party in Chicago on Sunday.

"I'll speak before any group that invites me," Zirkle said Monday. "I've spoken on an African-American radio station in Atlanta."

Yeah, because that's comprable...

nazi news

All from the SPCL's Hatewatch:

IHT reports on a Texan's address to Russian neo-nazis:

"I'm taking my hat off as a sign of respect for your strong identity in ethnicity, nation and race," he said, exposing his close-cropped head to a freezing drizzle.

"Glory to Russia," Wiginton, 43, said in broken Russian, as the crowd of mostly young Russian men raised their right hands in a Nazi salute and chanted "white power!" in English.

Racist nationalism on the rise. Ethnic cleansing to follow. The Jews are definitely in trouble, as are any ethnic minorities in south.

And the Modesto Bee (cute!) reports that a white supremacist has just been convicted of robbery and murder. But in an interesting twist,

Two words scrawled over Milam's eyebrows, "Aryan Honor," never were mentioned during his two-week trial because his white supremacist beliefs did not have a direct connection with his crimes.

Fair trial and all! God bless America!

undercover with the KC Klan

Brave reporter from the Kansas City alt-newsweekly The Pitch goes undercover with the Klan and the NSM. (Peter Rugg, My Secret Life in the Klan) Seems like the group's been stuffing copies of the paper with their own propaganda flyers, which then makes people think the paper's allowing racist advertising, etc. Funny bits in the story, but also scary of course, and very much playing up the element that these guys think they're normal, loving Christians, good neighbors, etc.

The story includes a sound file of the phone call in which the reporter informs his source of what's really going on. It's riveting to hear how this guy reacts - "I have a family; I'm just trying to raise my kids." "I didn't think the Pitch was gonna get that pissed about it." He's also paranoid about the Klan/NSM finding out he talked... "I guess I'm just SOL."

Found this through the invaluable Dave Neiwert, whose post on it includes some links to recent neo-Nazi gatherings (which have no always been well-attended).

new nazis stealing leftist symbols

Spiegel story Verkleidete Rechte: Tarnkappen-Nazis buhlen um junge Linke. CRAZY! But makes total sense. Looks like the Nazis are now taking Che as their own brand of icon -- a nationalist freedom fighter!

Possible uses: youth culture and fashion as political tool, totalitarianism (that the symbols can be shared by the two extremes), women in fascist movements (see included photo essay and story on "Skingirls, Renees, und braune Schwestern"
