After the recent Einfeld judgment I expect no legal mercy from the
FCA. So, wish me luck on 16 April 2009 … perhaps this will be our final
newsletter, and for the record this on 16 April 2009 was the front page of
AI’s website:
Nothing is more galling
than
to fight with facts and arguments against an adversary in the belief
that
one is dealing with his understanding, when in reality one is dealing with
the will, which obdurately closes its mind to the truth. One must
understand that reason
applied
against the will is
like seed sown on bare rock, like light arrows against armor,
like
the storm wind against a beam of light. - Arthur Schopenhauer
Judgment in matter Jones v Töben on 16 April 2009 Federal Court of Australia, Adelaide, at 14 hours.

Dr Fredrick Töben's disclaimer:
"I am operating under a Federal
Court of Australia Gag Order that prohibits me from
questioning/denying the three pillars on which the >Holocaust-Shoah<
story/legend/myth rests:
1. During World War II, Germany
had an extermination policy against European Jewry;
2. of which they killed six
million;
3. using as a murder weapon
homicidal gas chambers. It is impossible to discuss the
>Holocaust< with such an imposed constraint. I
therefore am merely reporting on matters that I am not
permitted to state.
For example, if I state the
>Holocaust< is:
1. a lie;
2. six million Jews never died,
or
3. the gas chambers did not
exist, then I would claim that I am merely reporting on
what expert Revisionists such as Professors Butz/Faurisson,
et al, are stating in public.
Anyone who refuses to believe
in these three pillars of orthodoxy will face a world-wide group
of enforcers who will use any means to destroy dissenting
voices. The problem is that these pillars are not set in
concrete, though attempts at setting them in legal
concrete have been under way for decades - without
success.
The latest victims imprisoned
for refusing to BELIEVE in the >Holocaust-Shoah< narrative
are Germar Rudolf, Ernst Zündel & Sylvia Stolz in
Germany; Siegfried Verbeke in Belgium, and Wolfgang Fröhlich
& Gerd Honsik in Austria.
If you wish to begin to doubt
the >Holocaust-Shoah< narrative, you must
be prepared for personal sacrifice, must be prepared for
marriage and family break-up, loss of career, and go to
prison. This is because Revisionists are, among other
things, dismantling a massive multi-billion dollar
industry that the >Holocaust-Shoah< enforcers are
defending, as well as the survival of Zionist-racist
Israel. So, do not cry when the knock on the door
takes you away from family and friends. Such experiences
can be character-building. Revisionists are not foolish or
naive but realistic as befitting someone who still
cherishes such life-affirming ideals as Love,
Truth, Honour, Justice, Beauty!
Some definitions:
a. An antisemite is someone who
condemns Jews because they are Jews, something I
reject in my maxim: >Don't blame the Jews, blame those
that bend to their pressure<.
b. The term >antisemitic<
is itself a problem because it refers to language-type and
refers to the Arabic-speaking peoples, not just the
Hebrew-speaking peoples; both peoples use a Semitic
language.
c. An antisemite is someone the
Jews hate.
d. Antisemitism is a disease.
You catch it from Jewish behaviour.

Overseas visit
Dear
Associate to The Honourable Justice Lander
I
would be pleased if you advised His Honour that I am about to
depart for overseas and I plan to return by the end of August
2009. The last time I advised of same, see below, you may
recall I was arrested at Heathrow Airport on 1 October 2008
and detained for 50 days before being released without charge.
I
shall be spending some time in Washington, DC, where my book
about my arrest on an European Arrest Warrant will be
launched. To date I still have no actual conviction against my
name, and the matter for which the German authorities
attempted to have me extradited from Britain is regarded not a
‘moral turpitude’ matter in the USA.
However,
should I be found in contempt of court in Australia, then that
is a criminal matter and I would be precluded from ever
visiting the USA again, as was the case with a journalist who,
upon refusing to disclose to a court his source of information
on a matter, was found to be in contempt of court.
Subsequently, this particular journalist could not accompany
the Prime Minister’s contingent to the USA.
The
German authorities have advised that they are pursuing me –
and so I can expect the European Arrest Warrant/ Interpol to
be enforced wherever it is accepted, as it is in Dubai!
Submitted
for your consideration.
Sincerely
Fredrick Töben

An
den Gehilfen des Richters Lander
Ich
würde mich freuen, wenn Sie Herrn Richter darauf hinweisen würden,
daß ich nach Übersee verreisen werde und ich plane Ende
August 2009 zurückzukehren. Beim letzten Mal, als ich dies in
ähnlicher Weise ankündigte, siehe unten, wurde ich, wie Sie
sich vielleicht erinnern, am Flughafen Heathrow am 1. Oktober
2008 verhaftet und für 50 Tage festgehalten, bevor ich ohne
Strafe freigelassen wurde.
Ich
werde einige Zeit in Washington D.C. verbringen, wo mein Buch
über meine Verhaftung mittels des europäisches Haftbefehles
vorgestellt werden wird. Bis zum heutigen Tage gibt es gegen
mich keine tatsächliche Verurteilung, und die Angelegenheit,
weshalb mich die deutschen Behörden von Großbritannien aus
ausgeliefert wissen wollen, wird in den VSA nicht als „moralische
Schändlichkeit“ betrachtet.
Sollte
ich aber in Australien der Mißachtung des Gerichtes schuldig
gesprochen werden, dann ist das eine strafrechtliche Sache und
ich wäre davon ausgeschlossen, jemals wieder die VSA zu
besuchen, so wie es mit einem Journalisten geschehen ist, als
er einem Gericht nicht preisgeben wollte, was seine
Informationsquellen gewesen waren, und dadurch der Mißachtung
des Gerichtes schuldig gesprochen wurde. Danach war es dem
Journalisten nicht möglich, den Premierminister in die VSA zu
folgen.
Die
deutschen Behörden haben darauf hingewiesen, daß sie weiter
hinter mir her sind – und deshalb kann ich erwarten, daß
der europäische Haftbefehl bzw. Interpol überall dort
angewendet werden kann, wo er angenommen wird, so wie es in
Dubai der Fall ist.
Zu
Ihrer Würdigung übergeben.
Mit

Germany
Can’t Question Swedish Journalist
Göran
Lambertz, Swedish Chancellor for Justice, says no to Germany
A
German prosecutor wants to question the Swedish TV-journalist
who interviewed the Holocaust denier, Bishop Richard
Williamson. But the Swedish Chancellor of Justice, Göran
Lambertz, says no. Williamson,
a deeply conservative catholic minister, caused international
offence as he told Swedish Television that during the
Holocaust only 300.000 Jews had died, instead of the
officially estimated 6 million. Also, he claimed that none had
been sent to gas chambers.
The
interview was carried out in Germany, where it is illegal to
deny the Holocaust and soon after an investigation was begun
against Williamson. According to the Swedish news agency TT,
the German prosecutor now wants the Swedish authorities to
make the journalist disclose more details regarding the
interview.
As
the Chancellor of Justice in Sweden is the sole authority on
freedom of speech legislation, the matter rests with him. And
the answer is no.
The
reason is that Williamson hasn’t committed a crime under
Swedish law. Not a suspect, he is protected by the clauses in
the Swedish constitution on protecting media sources.
According to TT, the chancellor does not see anything wrong with Swedish Police approaching the journalist to ask him if he is willing to disclose anything else. And if the Germans aren’t happy with his decision, he refers them to the government. (RM)

French
comedian to face trial for anti-Semitism
PARIS
– A French comic will go on trial in May on charges of
anti-Semitism after he awarded a prize to a Holocaust denier
during a comedy show, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Dieudonne
sparked outrage when he had an actor dressed as a Jewish
deportee present the prize for "unrespectability and
insolence" to Robert Faurisson, an academic who has
denied the existence of the Holocaust.
Far-right
leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, who recently caused an uproar for
again calling Nazi gas chambers a "detail of World War II
history," was in the audience during the show on 29
December at one of Paris' biggest concert halls.
The
Paris criminal court will begin hearing the case on 5 May, the
prosecutor's office said. The black comedian, whose full name
is Dieudonne Mbala Mbala, has over the past years been ordered
to pay several fines for inciting hatred. Dieudonne, 42, faces
a possible sentence of six months in prison and a maximum fine
of EUR 22,500 if convicted.
In
September 2007, he was fined EUR 7,000 after he accused Jews
of "memorial pornography" for their remembrance of
the Holocaust during a press conference in Algeria in 2005. In
the same conference he attacked "the Zionist lobby which
cultivates the idea of their unique suffering ... and has
declared war on the black world."
In
March, the comedian born to a Cameroonian father again caused
a stir after he announced plans to run as an
"anti-Zionist" candidate in the June elections to
the European parliament. Dieudonne is to answer charges of
causing offense to a group of persons based on their origin,
ethnic background, race or religion, a judicial source said.
Several
city councils had decided to cancel shows by the comedian over
the past months and Culture Minister Christine Albanel called
it a "provocation" that "is hurtful and
offensive".

“The radical reinterpretation of incitement against Jews by the Chancellor of Justice in Sweden.
European
Jewish Press,
03 April 2006
EJP
publishes an Opinion written and signed by four Jewish Swedish
personalities about the “radical reinterpretation of
incitement against Jews by the Chancellor of Justice in
Sweden.”
Discussions
about the limits of freedom of expression are running high
right now, not least because of the Muhammed cartoons in
Danish Jyllandsposten.
The EU Council states in a controversial message on the 27th
February, that it acknowledges and regrets that these cartoons
were considered offensive and distressing by Muslims across
the world and that a spirit of respect for religious and other
beliefs should prevail.
It
is a crime in Sweden to express derogatory statements about
ethnic, racial, national, religious and sexual minorities or
to incite hatred and violence against them. Simultaneously the
limits of what one can express in Sweden against Jews are
being expanded gradually. All Jewish institutions in Sweden
are being continuously guarded because of threats directed to
Jewish individuals as well as to Jewish institutions, and the
Jewish communities spend 25% of their budget on security.
The
hate website Radio
Islam http://radioislam.org/
continues to spew forth its coarse Anti-Semitism, spread lists
of Jews (real or imagined) and conspiracy theories on its site
without the security police or the prosecuting authorities
doing anything about it. When the radical right-wing party the
Sweden Democrats on the other hand, had one of the Muhammed
cartoons on its web-site, it was closed down after a quick and
direct intervention by an official from the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
At
the beginning of this year, the Chancellor of Justice*, Goran
Lambertz, discontinued his preliminary investigation against
the great mosque in Stockholm. Cassette tapes had been sold in
the bookshop of the mosque with a violently Anti-Semitic
contents.
After
a couple of broadcasts on the 26 and 27th November last year,
the Stockholm mosque was reported to the police.
In his decision to discontinue the preliminary investigation
Lambertz wrote that “the lecture at hand contains statements
that are strongly degrading to Jews, among other things, they
are throughout called brothers of apes and pigs.”
Furthermore a curse is expressed over the Jews and “Jihad is
called for, to kill the Jews, whereby suicide bombers -
celebrated as martyrs - are the most effective weapon”.
The Chancellor raises the question whether the statements “should be judged differently, and be considered allowed, because they are used by one side in a continuing profound conflict, where battle cries and invectives are part of everyday occurrences in the rhetoric that surround the conflict.” Lambertz thought that the “recently mentioned statements in spite of their contents are not to be considered “incitement against an ethnic group according to Swedish law”. His conclusions were that the preliminary investigation should be discontinued because this case of incitement against Jews could be said to originate from the Middle East conflict. That is, in spite of the calls for ”killing the Jews”, these statements are not a crime in the legal sense in Sweden, because of the current conflict in the Middle East, according to the Chancellor of Justice. The logical conclusion is clear. If one mentions Palestine in hate speeches and calls for mass murder against Jews, one risks nothing in Sweden.
Andres Carlberg Lisa Abramovics Jesper Svartvik
What
are then the situation for the Jews of Sweden? The Jewish
communities spend 25% of its budget on security measures. No
Jewish events, social, religious and cultural, can take place
without extensive security measures. One wonders what the
appointment of the Jews of Sweden to be a national minority
according to the European Council Convention, together with
Samis, Romas, Swedish Finns and Tornedal Finns?
Official Sweden wants to cut down on the little aid there is,
to Jewish institutions for security; schools among others, and
refuse absolutely to take over any responsibility for the
security measures that even security police reports deem
necessary. Jewish cemeteries in Stockholm and Malmoe have been
vandalized recently.
The
Chief of police in Stockholm wants to remove the cement
impediments in front of the great Synagogue of Stockholm.
Jews are being harassed and persecuted in certain suburbs of
Stockholm only because of their Jewishness and many have been
forced to move to get away from the harassment.

In
May last year the Minister for Justice, Thomas Bodstrom,
stated in Parliament that the police and the prosecuting
authorities should give top priority to hate crimes as e.g.
incitement against Jews. The reinterpretation of the law by
the Chancellor of Justice gives the absolute opposite message.
If this interpretation will turn into practice the threshold
for the expression of hatred and incitement against Jews will
be nearly eradicated.
The
most frightening thing about this decision is the resounding
silence that it has generated.

*The
Chancellor of Justice is the Government's counsellor in legal
matters. It is not a political post. One of his tasks is to
ensure that the limits of the freedom of the press and other
media are not transgressed and to act as the only public
prosecutor in cases regarding offences against the freedom of
the press and other media.

Suspected
Nazi can stay in US for now: officials. AFP , 9 April 2009
CHICAGO
(AFP) — Suspected Nazi guard John Demjanjuk can remain in
the United States while an immigration court considers his
latest appeal against extradition to Germany, US officials
said Wednesday.
"It
is a subject for the courts at this point," said Pat
Reilly, a spokeswoman for US Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE).
"When
he is removable -- when he no longer has legal recourse -- we
will remove him."
Demjanjuk,
who changed his name from Ivan to John after emigrating to the
United States in 1952, is wanted in Germany on charges of
assisting in the murders of thousands of Jews at Sobibor death
camp in Nazi-occupied Poland.
He
was stripped of his US citizenship in 2008 and last month, US
officials began the process of extraditing the now-stateless
Demjanjuk to Germany to stand trial for crimes allegedly
committed more than 60 years ago.
His
lawyer won him a brief stay of deportation last week while
immigration officials debated whether to reopen the
Ukrainian-born former autoworker's "removal" case.
That
stay expired Wednesday, but officials said they will await the
outcome of additional motions filed Tuesday before they take
action.
"We'll
file a response and see what happens from there," US
Department of Justice spokeswoman Laura Sweeney told AFP.
Demjanjuk's
lawyer has argued that the octogenarian is in poor health, and
that jailing and trying him in Germany would cause him pain
amounting to torture.
His
family has also filed motions in Germany requesting that the
government reconsider its extradition request.
"We're
trying to stop what we believe to be an inhumane action,"
Demjanjuk's son John Jr told AFP.
"There
is zero chance that my dad will face trial in Germany,"
said the younger Demjanjuk, who expects a decision on the
extradition appeal "at any time."
"There
remains a chance that he will be deported to Germany. But if
he is deported to Germany, he will live out his remaining days
in a German hospital, not in a court of law."
German
prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for Demjanjuk last month,
accusing him of complicity in the murder of at least 29,000
Jews at Sobibor death camp, where he allegedly served between
March and September 1943.
Former
wartime inmates of Nazi camps in occupied Poland in 1977
identified Demjanjuk as the brutal Ukrainian prison guard
"Ivan the Terrible" during a US Justice Department
investigation.
Demjanjuk
was sentenced to death by a court in Israel, but the penalty
was overturned five years later by Israel's Supreme Court
after statements from other former guards identified another
man as the sadistic "Ivan."
Demjanjuk's
son said the current case against his father is based upon the
same flawed and false evidence which led to his acquittal in
Israel.
"They
had the wrong guy in Israel and they're going to get the wrong
guy in Germany," he said in a telephone interview.
"Nobody
to this day, nobody ever will be able to provide evidence that
he was involved in the killing of one person."
He
supplied the court with a video of an examination of Demjanjuk
by a physician hired by immigration officials to determine if
he was fit to travel.
In
the video, Demjanjuk speaks of his fears of how he will cope
in Germany after the doctor helps him back into bed.
"What
happens to me over there? You don?t care," he said
according to a transcript supplied by his son.
"Because
who goes behind me (when) I need help? I have here my family
to help me. Who help me over there, huh? Just think, just
think. This is the torture. That‘s the torture."
Ohio's
Demjanjuk renews fight against deportation
3
hours ago, 10
April 2009
CLEVELAND
(AP) — An elderly Ohio man accused of being a Nazi death
camp guard has renewed his fight against deportation to
Germany. The attorney for John Demjanjuk told the immigration
appeals board Thursday that the U.S. government may have used
misleading arguments in pushing to deport his 89-year-old
client.
John
H. Broadley argued that deporting Demjanjuk to face trial
would amount to double jeopardy.
Demjanjuk
was found guilty in Israel of war crimes and crimes against
humanity in 1988. That conviction was later overturned.
The
U.S. government says Demjanjuk was never acquitted.
Broadley
also questioned why the government withheld results of
Demjanjuk's recent medical exam. The defense has said that
Demjanjuk's poor health would make deportation torturous.

After
reading Pope Benedict's message, how could most of the world,
and the People condone the lies and misleading propaganda
which is being enforced and is an attack on Christianity???
Is it not time to pick up the Cross to show the world that the
only outcome of such acts will be the destruction of the
Christian world, by a "Jewish" people, who have
destroyed what is said in at least five Books of the Old
Testament, where their God constantly reprimands them for
their evil ways and disobedience, until He finally takes away
the promised land only to make them roam the world without a
country...They have been taking their revenge ever since....It
is time to take a firm stand ---this is not meant to be
anti-Semitic, or anti-anything, but time to defend
the Christian faiths which has brought freedoms (including
freedom of religions), liberties and the right to pursue
happiness and to better their station in life as free human
beings.
To force the Pope to bow down to their demands makes an insult
against the Catholic Religion. The "Hate
Laws" that have been foisted upon our (US)State
Department to enact and criminalize anyone who speaks
out and question their "Holocaust" should be
repealed for the basic purpose of such laws are to
destroy every non Jew and their religion as an anti-Semitic
criminal while ignoring the genocide of more than 18 million
during the Bolshevik Revolution and the genocide of more
than 80 million in China, plus all the other wars fought to
destroy humans are obscured....
Time
is running out to dissolve the political bands connecting the
world, and destroying the separate and equal pursuit,
which, as human beings, the people are entitled to. The U.S.
Constitution gave to the people their just powers and constent
on how to be governed....not twisted to a dictatorship and
tyranny by a few.
Pope
Benedict can do a great service and help to bring back
realistic sanity by showing up the evil power to dominate the
world. Their active political influence has diminished
the rule of separatioin of church and state, or government and
religion. This is fast taking over the peoples'
attention, while the real purpose is to destroy both as they
instill a one-world global power which is fast replacing the
dignity and freedoms of once free people.

Nuclear
restraints
Yousef
Munayyer,
April 9, 2009
It
was nearly 25 years ago when Israeli nuclear scientist
Mordechai Vanunu exposed his nation's secret nuclear weapons
program to the world through The Sunday Times of London. Now,
days before he is due to be released from captivity in Israel,
an American president dared to envision a world free of
nuclear weapons. In the Middle East, however, things seem to
be heading in the opposite direction.
While
the Israelis have stuck to a strategy of nuclear ambiguity,
neither confirming or denying possession of nuclear weapons,
experts around the globe estimate the Israeli stockpile to be
in the range of 70 to 300 nuclear warheads, reports the Center
for Strategic and International Studies. The Israelis have
also taken pre-emptive and provocative steps to ensure nuclear
dominance in the region by carrying out attacks in Iraq and
Syria.
Despite
the fact that the Israeli nuclear capability has contributed
to the end of conventional interstate war in the region,
animosity remains steady as battlefields shift. Increased
asymmetrical warfare is on the rise and although Israel
remains conventionally superior to its non-state enemies in
the region, it has failed in eliminating the threats they
pose.
Iran also continues to test Western patience by perpetuating
its nuclear program. While Iran claims its nuclear program is
peaceful, policymakers here often suspect otherwise.
The Middle East has enough problems and certainly does not
need another, deadlier, weapons race. But an Iran-centric
non-proliferation policy is myopic and dangerous and will
likely lead the region into further destabilizing conflict.
A
better approach is reviving an effort for a Middle East free
of all weapons of mass destruction. Recalled in UN Security
Council Resolution 687, the creation of a nuclear-free zone in
the Middle East would go a great distance toward providing
security for states in the region and re-establishing faith in
the international legal system.
To
do this, the international community, led by the United
States, would have to put equal pressure on Iran and Israel to
open their facilities for full inspection by the International
Atomic Energy Agency and dismantle all nuclear weapons
programs and eliminate all stockpiles.
This
will not be easy for Israel to accept considering its history
in the region and the solid track record of deterrence its
weapons program has had with surrounding states.
However,
these concerns can be allayed by strong security guarantees by
the United States to retaliate against any state that launches
a nuclear attack against Israel. A nuclear attack on Israel by
a Muslim majority state is also deterred by the significant,
and larger, number of Muslim kin who would be killed in such
an attack.
This
policy would have to go hand in hand with a resolution to the
Israeli/Palestinian conflict, which has in recent years become
a proxy battleground for the United States and Iran and has
only resulted in the unnecessary deaths of countless
innocents.
The alternatives to a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East are
grim. It is unlikely that sanctions will halt a hurting but
sustainable oil-exporting Iran, and military options cannot
guarantee the desired outcome without the likelihood of ground
operations or regional conflagration.
Eight
years of disastrous U.S. foreign policy has contributed to the
rise of a defensive Iran, the realignment of states in the
Middle East, a perpetuated Israeli/Palestinian conflict and an
increase in asymmetrical war throughout the region. The U.S.
has a responsibility and a major national security and
economic stake in setting the Middle East on a different
course.
If President Barack
Obama envisions a world free of nuclear weapons, he
can begin by evenhandedly enforcing non-proliferation policy
in the Middle East with Iran and Israel. Obama will get much
further with this strategy than an Iran-only approach, which
comes off to Middle Easterners as hypocritical, hegemonic and
deceitful.

Moses, April 6, 2009 - 1:50PM
One
of Australia's largest Defence Department-linked companies has
suspended a contractor over her alleged links to an
international neo-Nazi group.
Nicole
Hanley, a bid support manager for Thales - which has hundreds
of millions of dollars in Department of Defence contracts - is
alleged to have been involved as an administrator of the
neo-Nazi web forum Blood & Honour.
The
claims have been made by whistleblower site Wikileaks, which
has published a hacked database containing private messages
between the group's members.
According
to the Wikileaks private message trail it is claimed that
Hanley has published a detailed online diary of her travels to
Europe last year, which included attending several neo-Nazi
skinhead gatherings, visiting Adolf Hitler's birthplace,
placing flowers on his parents' grave and collecting Nazi
memorabilia.
"Hearing/joining
in with so many hundreds of people chanting Sieg Heil together
is something that will stay with me forever," she
allegedly wrote.
The
online messages allegedly reveal that Hanley has also hosted
international Blood & Honour activists at her house in
Canberra and dated several neo-Nazi skinheads.
Blood
& Honour, which promotes neo-Nazi music and events, was
founded in Britain in 1987 and has been outlawed in Germany
and Spain. Its Australian chapter is organising a pro-Hitler
gig in Perth for Anzac Day.
In
one of her online messages, Hanley is reported as saying that
she would like to become "more active in supporting
B&H Australia".
"I
think that with my skills and background I would have a lot to
offer," she wrote.
"Nothing
would make me happier than to see B&H Australia become
stronger and larger. I would also love to see the skinhead
scene in Australia return back to the size and strength of the
glory days."
Even
though the Department of Defence conducted background checks
on all Thales contractors, claims about Hanley's links with
neo-Nazi skinhead groups were unknown to Thales or the
department until smh.com.au provided copies of the private
messages.
Thales
immediately began an investigation and suspended Hanley, who
is in her 40s, saying it took security "extremely
seriously".
It
said the matter had been referred to "appropriate
authorities for further investigation".
"The
person in question was a contractor engaged through an
employment agency," a Thales spokeswoman said.
"The
contract has been suspended and all access to Thales IT and
equipment removed."
The
Department of Defence said it could not comment on security
allegations relating to specific people, but would have
concerns about employees known to have links with nationalist
extremist or racial organisations. It would not comment on
Hanley's security clearance level.
In
another message attributed to her she discussed how she
listened to a white supremacist online radio show.
Reached
at her home on Friday and this morning, Hanley refused to
comment on the allegations and threatened legal action over
any future reports based on the material published by
Wikileaks.
"I'm
under legal advice not to speak to you," she said, before
hanging up.
Thales,
which refused to give any further details about the
investigations or about Hanley, generates about $1 billion in
revenues annually and specialises in high technology defence
products such as electronic warfare, munitions and protected
mobility vehicles.
Mat
Henderson, a volunteer with Australian anti-racism group Fight
dem back, said bad economic times were always a
fertile recruitment ground for racist groups.

Politicus:
New Racism and Its Antecedents
By
JOHN VINOCUR, April 7, 2009
PARIS
— Late last month, Jacques Chirac had a street near the
Palestinian government offices in Ramallah named after him —
in recognition, the town’s mayor said, of his support for
the “Palestinian cause.”
The
juxtaposition of events is rare. It goes to Mr. Chirac’s
popularity in parts of the Arab world and his history of
making clear statements about France’s responsibility in the
World War II destruction of Europe’s Jews. That gives him a
fairly unique place in talking about the relationship of
racism and anti-Semitism to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Just as singular: the audience for his remarks at a conference to combat Holocaust denial included President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal, who is also chairman for the next three years of the very active and influential Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
Of
course, Mr. Wade’s presence could have been a courtesy to an
old friend. Or, more positively, a gesture that suggests
somewhere down the line (maybe way, way down) there might be a
desire in a corner of Muslim leadership to ease an ancient
animus.
The timing is intriguing.
Mr.
Chirac’s speech came just before the Obama administration
announced it would seek a seat on the U.N. Human Rights
Council, which the Bush administration boycotted as a sham.
And it pointed to an attempt later this month by the United
Nations — without the United States, Israel, Italy and
Canada, nonparticipants for now — to hold a review
conference on racism, called Durban II, which could
effectively obliterate the anti-Semitic stamp that marked the
first such meeting in 2001.
Mr.
Chirac said he had no intention “to place on Muslim
countries a responsibility” for the Holocaust “that
isn’t theirs” but stressed the importance of “making the
Shoah known while removing it from the silence that people
have built up around it in many countries.”
After the speech, The Associated Press reported, Mr. Wade signed a declaration in favor of a dialogue and educational program to counter Holocaust denial in Arab and Muslim countries.
This
is hopeful — and more so if you look at it in light of
Turkey’s decision over the weekend to drop its objections to
the appointment of a new NATO secretary general, Anders Fogh
Rasmussen, who, defending freedom of speech as Denmark’s
prime minister, refused to condemn newspaper cartoons of the
Prophet Muhammad.
But
maybe that does it for obvious glimmers of light.
A next step toward turning down the volume of hatred that fuels the Arab-Israel conflict would be finding a consensual redefinition of racism at that Durban II conference April 20-24 in Geneva. It remains a long, tedious way from reality.
This week, participating governments, with the United States and the OIC possibly in the background, will work on a revision of a draft declaration, presented March 17 to replace an earlier version that the State Department described in February as “going from bad to worse” and “not salvageable.”
This time, the substitute draft no longer singles out Israel. But in line with a statement by Navi Pillay, the U.N. High Commissioner of Human Rights, that the 2001 Durban Declaration must be accepted “without reservation,” the new draft still reaffirms the relevance of the 2001 statement, hardly a guarantee of progress.
On Monday a spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to Geneva said the State Department remained concerned about language in the draft that reaffirms the “highly problematic” 2001 document. While referring to “significant” improvement in the draft, a five-point statement also pointed to difficulties involving freedom of speech issues and a concept of “defamation of the religion” that had come under discussion.
Other sources said the Americans sought reassurance about the possibility of a repetition of what the high commissioner called “virulent anti-Semitic behavior” on the Durban I sidelines by nongovernmental invitees.
So where does that leave things before a final preparatory meeting April 15-17?
I asked Mark Malloch-Brown, the British minister for Africa, Asia and the United Nations. Talking about the acceptability, with modifications, of the latest draft, he said, “It’s not what we’d write. But it’s pulled us back from the brink” of walking out. “It’s damage limitation.”
Which sounds a lot like leaning toward a compromise.
As for the United States, one supposition argues that the administration would not have announced its desire to come into the Council if it planned to boycott the racism conference just before standing for election May 15.
In a case of least resistance, the U.S. approach could be to find manageable wordings — to hell with their ambiguity — resulting in a joint document with the representatives of Islam and the third world. But that raises the risk of producing a statement vague enough for bigots and oppressors to ignore.
Strangely in all of this, the Italian government, whose prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, is rarely thought of as a man racked by conscience, may turn out be the toughest of Durban II’s refuseniks.
Maurizio
Massari, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, sounded as if
Italy were totally comfortable with the notion of having a
no-go stance. “We hope it leads to a more courageous
position” from the other Western countries, he said. “A
desire for solidarity should not lead to a sacrifice of
principles.”

WW
II winners also filled mass graves - Feature
DPA,
2009-04-08
The
officers were buried in a separate grave, presumably because
they were separated from the soldiers and executed last. The
victims were troops of the 392 Infantry Division, set up by
the German command in Croatia in August 1943 and placed under
the leadership of Lt. General Hans Mickl.
The
division was composed of Croats and the "Volksdeutsche,"
members of the German community in Yugoslavia, with officers
being from the German army, the Wehrmacht. The unit was
colloquially called "Blue Division" after the grey-blue
colour of its uniform.
The
soldiers buried at Harmica were captured in late April 1945 by
partisans under command of Josip Broz Tito, who later became
the lifelong president of Yugoslavia.
Cicak
said his organization is currently collecting evidence on nine
mass graves in northwestern Croatia from the Second World War,
three of them located and six still unfound. Along with German
and Croat troops, the graves are believed to hold "many
civilians," he said. One
of the recently uncovered graves, exposed during construction
work on a river embankment near Cakovec, northwest of Zagreb,
is believed to hold 1,500 Croat soldiers killed in June 1945.
Little work was however done on it, as no money for an
investigation was available.
During
World War II, Croatia was nominally an independent state, but
was in effect run by Berlin and implemented Nazi laws. It even
ran an extermination camp for Jews and enemies of the regime
at Jasenovac, 100 kilometres east of Zagreb.
The
rest of the then Yugoslav Kingdom was dismembered and governed
by various occupational forces from the German World War II
bloc, like Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria.
After
claiming victory in Yugoslavia, Tito's Partisan force took
brutal revenge not only on German soldiers and the large
German minority living mostly in northern Croatia and Serbia,
but also on local members of wartime authorities.
Following
the war, the new authorities brought ethnic Germans to
concentration camps and eventually drove the survivors out. In
the end, only a few thousand, out of several hundred thousands
living in Yugoslavia, remained.
The
smaller Italian minority in Croatia suffered a similar fate,
which remains a sore issue in Zagreb's relations with Rome to
the present day.
Croatian
President Stjepan Mesic said mass graves must be explored, but
warned against "overblowing.
"The
criminals responsible for the dead in those graves should be
processed and punished," he told the online edition of
the Jutarnji List daily. "But any exaggeration ... is
harmful to Croatian people. But
mass executions of people from the losing side in Second World
War were not limited to Croatia - last month a grave with
hundreds of mummified corpses, also victims of the Partisans,
was found in an abandoned mine in Slovenia.
Speaking
recently in the wake of that discovery, Croatian Interior
Minister Tomislav Karamarko estimated the number of mass
graves - any with five or more bodies - at 600 in Slovenia,
840 in Croatia, 90 in Bosnia and "who knows how many
more" strewn across the entire region. "Many
knew about these crimes in the wake of the World War, but had
to keep silent under a totalitarian regime," Cicak told
the German Press Agency dpa. "It is that (much) more
outraging when somebody today says how we should not
investigate each and every crime of Partisans."

Ezra Levants critique of Canadian Hum Rights MUST READ a LIFE
and DIGNITY SAVER
Dear
Friends,
Run,
don't walk, to the nearest "CHAPTERS" book store (in
North America) or order above author's book:
"SHAKEDOWN" from McClelland & Stewart ( for
address details see: "www.mcclelland.com)
for about CAD 28.00 plus Shipping and Handling.
It
is about How
the Canadian Government is undermining Democracy in the Name
of HUMAN RIGHTS, with a foreword by MARK STEYN.
This
book describes in detail, how so-called Human Rights
COMMISSIONS, on the federal and provincial levels, have
succeeded in erecting a powerful dictatorship over the people
in Canada, which regulates any kind of behaviour, which any
would-be complainant does not approve of or desires to force
onto other peoples or organizations.
The
mechanism is that, anyone can complain to these HUMAN
RIGHTS COMMISSIONS (HRC) about any perceived or real physical
or psychological hurt or so-called discrimination or insult no
matter how absurd, without incurring any cost to himself but
resulting in great financial losses job loss, home
invasion etc. to a person or organization who is being
complained about.
SOME
of the "judges" in these Tribunals do not have any
legal training. They are mainly former political
Activists. The result is that, traditional legal
procedures, principles and penalties are applied completely
arbitrary. For example "Magna Carta", rules of
evidence. assumption of "innocent until proven
guilty", the right to face the accuser, the right to
be present at one,s trial, the right for a speedy trial etc.
are completely ignored in most cases. And the normal or
regular legal profession, who would handle these complaints,
has not reacted with one peep even though the HRC.s are acting
in direct competition with them. Indeed, some Law Society
member have even sued Mr. Levant. Of course, they may not have
known, that some Ontario HR tribunal members make around CAD
160,000 a year
The
result is a 100% conviction rate, mainly against poor, young
people, who don't have the finances to hire a lawyer. ONE HRC
succeeded even with foisting a completely incompetent person
on the RCMP and made them pay a hefty compensation for having
his feelings hurt. Another one forced the MacDonald's
Hamburger Chain to absolve her from having to wash her hands,
while on Duty and gave her a financial award.
The
most dangerous convictions have occurred in the name of
alleged offences against the CANADIAN RIGHT to FREEDOM OF
SPEECH. I have always felt that this Right should be ABSOLUT
AND TOTAL. Any restriction is usually a sign that a certain
group wants to preserve their special interests or has
something to hide.
At
the same time, we have Canadian Soldiers die in Afghanistan to
bring Democracy to this country.
I
am afraid, these shenenigans will destroy Canada's world wide
good repudiation of being a fair arbiter in conflict
situations and will expose us as hypocrites, instead.
Please look at Mr. Levant's website: http://Ezra:evant.com, if you don't believe me. Be Prepared to be shocked.

Why
Arabs are Backing Sudan’s Bashir
Karin
Friedemann (Letter From America)
10
April 2009, Khaleej Times
Sudanese
President Omar Al Bashir, despite being indicted on March 4,
2009 on seven counts of war crimes by the International
Criminal Court, was given a “hero’s welcome” by the Arab
League Summit hosted by Qatar last week. The 22 nations warmly
supported Al Bashir with a resolution opposing the dubious ICC
arrest warrant.
Bashir
called the ICC an “undemocratic institution that ... applied
double standards, targeted the weak and gave a blind eye to
the criminals.” Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, also
present at the summit, likewise objected to the ICC. “Why do
they not order the capture of Bush? Why not order the arrest
of the president of Israel?”
“If
anything happened to Omar Al Bashir and Sudan ended up in
chaos, the whole of Africa will sink into chaos,” warned
Shaikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Amir of Qatar.
Amr
Moussa, the Arab League Secretary-General, said that the
arrest warrant was aimed “at undermining the unity and
stability of Sudan.”
In
response to the arrest warrant, which was issued at behest of
“Save Darfur,” an activist coalition mobilised by
pro-Israel organisations committed to pressuring the US
administration to treat Sudan like Iraq, Al Bashir evicted 13
western NGOs from his country.
Glen
Ford of Black Agenda Report comments, “Any government in the
world that believes it has been targeted for regime change by
the United States and its allies would be foolish to allow
western-based nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) to operate
freely in its territory.”
According
to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs,
“Almost the entire Arab and African world supports Sudan
against the ICC, arguing it is a biased and political
tool
that only targets Africans and infringes sovereignty.”
“The allegations at the ICC have nothing to do with
reality, and we will use our friends in the United Nations to
stop them,” says Abdel Malik Al Naiem, spokesman for the
Sudanese Embassy in Cairo. “In one year we will Sudanise all
the aid on the ground and we can fill the gap in food
distribution within one year because the Sudanese Red Crescent
already distributes 45 per cent of the food in Darfur,” Al
Bashir promised during a recent visit to Saudi Arabia.
China
and Russia back the central government in Khartoum and support
local peace agreements between Sudan’s warring tribes while
the US, Britain, Israel and France materially support
insurgent militias and promote increased foreign intervention
with massive, internationally coordinated propaganda. Michel
Massih, Al Bashir’s leading attorney points out, “I have
never heard in my legal career of a chief prosecutor that
launches media campaigns against a defendant, regardless of
the nature of the charges.”
Columbia
Professor Mahmood Mamdani, whose new book ‘Saviours and
Survivors’ just came out, says he began to look at the issue
of Darfur in 2003. He was struck by the rapid globalisation
and the fact-indifference of the Save Darfur movement, which
consistently misrepresented the facts
in
a media blitz.
Mamdani
points out in a recent IslamOnline interview with Ismail
Ikashkash: “The Save Darfur movement does not educate the
people… about what issues drive the conflict. So they know
nothing about the politics of Darfur, the history of Darfur,
the history of the conflict. All they know is that … Darfur
is a place where ‘evil lives.’”
In
his book, Professor Mamdani describes in detail how the Save
Darfur Coalition presented itself primarily as an
inter-religious coalition promoting Islamophobia by implicitly
creating a division of responsibility among faiths:
“The
Christian faith packets were the most explicit: They spoke of
‘divine empowerment’ and ‘the burden to save’…The
Jewish faith packets emphasized the special moral
responsibility of Jews as ‘quintessential victims’ to
identify genocide whenever it occurs…Muslims were asked to
fight oppressors in their midst.”
Save
Darfur board chairwoman Gloria White-Hammond, an
African-American Christian minister in Boston who has been
groomed to promote Zionist politics by Israel advocacy group
“The David Project,” met with President Obama and his
Sudan envoy General Scott Gration, before their recent trip to
Sudan. She and Save Darfur president Jerry Fowler pressured
Obama to revive Sudan’s internal conflicts and to threaten
Khartoum with further international isolation.
America
imposed economic sanctions on Sudan in 1997, but peace in
Sudan requires foreign investment and political reform. Sudan
has the largest underground freshwater lake in all of Africa.
With some technology, Sudan could become the Breadbasket of
Africa. Bush made it illegal for American-allied businesses to
invest in life-saving infrastructure, and even threatened a
delegation of African-American businesspeople with criminal
prosecution for discussing investment ideas with President Al
Bashir.
President
Obama will have to choose between continuing Bush’s
policies, which leave millions of Sudanese civilians in mortal
jeopardy, and which have earned America international scorn,
and reconciling with an international community whose support
for the people of Africa is destined to grow.

Women
in Israeli government? Not if Photoshop can help
Friday,

JERUSALEM
-- Two women serve in Israel's new Cabinet, but some
Israelis would rather not see them. Newspapers aimed at
ultra-Orthodox Jewish readers tampered with the inaugural
photograph of the Cabinet, erasing ministers Limor Livnat and
Sofa Landver. Ultra-Orthodox newspapers consider it immodest
to print images of women. The daily Yated
Neeman digitally changed the photo, moving two male
ministers into the places formerly occupied by the women. The
weekly Shaa Tova simply blacked
the women out, in a photo reprinted Friday by the mainstream
daily Maariv. No response was available from the two papers.
During the election, campaign posters featuring female
candidate Tzipi Livni were defaced near ultra-Orthodox
neighborhoods.
In
this combination of an originally transmitted image, top, and
a digitally altered image that appeared in the Israeli
ultra-orthodox newspaper Yated Neeman, show Prime Minister

Dysgenics
of a Communist Killing Field:
The Croatian Bleiburg
Tom Sunic, March 15, 2009
In
the study of communist terror different methods from different
fields have been applied, ranging from the fields of political
science, historiography, philosophy, to international justice.
An impressive number of books about communist crimes have
enabled observers to grasp this unique phenomenon of the
twentieth century, which inevitably brings about a large and
emotional outcry, followed by constant haggling about
different body counts. Whether it is former communist
Cambodia, or former communist Poland, in the minds of many
citizens of former communist countries, communism is a synonym
for an inhumane political system.
Despite
the fall of communism as an ideological and political-legal
system, the com- munist ideas of egalitarianism and the belief
in permanent economic progress are still alive, albeit in
other forms and under different names, and even amidst people
who describe themselves as anticommunists. Perhaps the reason
for that lies in the fact that the ideas of equality,
internationalism (‘globalism’) and economic growth may be
more easily achievable, or at least appear to be more easily
achievable, in the liberal, capitalist West than in the former
‘real-socialist’ countries in the East.
Little
effort has been made so far to analyze the communist system
within the framework of modern genetics. As discussed below,
communist terror was at least at times disproportionately
directed at the upper classes. From a genetic perspective,
this suggests that it had dysgenic effects on the gene pool of
victim populations — that is, by removing the upper classes,
there would be a general lowering of the genetic quality of
the population.
According
to Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, the average IQ for European
countries ranges from 90 to 100. They find that the average IQ
for Croats is a meager 90. Why such a modest IQ for Croats?
Besides
possibly lowering IQ, one might also ask the question: Did
communism in the former Soviet Union, or for that matter in
the former communist Yugoslavia, gave birth to a unique
subspecies of people predisposed to communism? Did it
give rise to people who would fit into and feel comfortable in
a largely bureaucratic regime with little scope for personal
freedom?
In
fact, the description of communist lifestyle has already been
well described by former Russian dissident and novelist,
Alexander Zinoviev in his Homo Sovieticus, (1982).
Zinoviev introduced the term homo sovieticus
into the study of communist pathology, albeit more as a
literary metaphor than as a term for a specific anthro-
pological species. Seen from the perspective of sociobiology,
Zinoviev’s homo sovieticus is not only a literary figure
reflecting a distinctive life style or an allegory for
communized masses in the former Soviet Union or the former
Yugoslavia. It is a peculiar biological sub-creature of modern
mass democracies.
Zinoviev was well aware that communism directly appeals to the lowest instincts of each human being, and therefore that communism is an ideal system for future mass societies facing shrinking natural resources. Unlike the erratic free market system, communism provides workers with a complete sense of psychological security and economic predictability, however Spartan their living and working conditions may be. Only by deciphering such a communized mindset will Western observers be able to comprehend strange feelings of “Yugo-nostalgia” or fond memories of Stalin in post-communist Eastern Europe — even among former victims of communism and despite the terrible legacy of Gulag and Kolyma. The communist workers motto, so often analyzed by Zinoviev, summarizes it best: “Nobody can pay me as little as little I can work.”
***
The
Aristocide of Bleiburg and other communist killing fields
The
Croatian Bleiburg (see also here and here) is a name of a mass
killing field in southern Austria. In mid-May 1945 hundreds of
thousands of fleeing ethnic German and Croatian civilians and
soldiers surrendered to the British — only to be turned over
promptly to the advancing and victorious Yugoslav communist
troops. Subsequently, the term ‘Bleiburg’
became a metaphor for the Croatian holocaust and is widely
used in contemporary Croatia by those who suffered under the
communist rule, long after WWII. In the collective memory of
Croats the word ‘Bleiburg’ means an absolute biological
catastrophe whose historical, psychophysical and
anthropological (and craniometrical?) consequences are yet to
be evaluated. The word Bleiburg means to Croats what the word
Katyn means to Poles, or what Auschwitz means to Jews.
Although the true body count of Bleiburg is subject to
emotional disputes, one thing remains certain: Bleiburg meant
the violent disappearance of the Croat middle class in 1945.
The
word “aristocide” first entered into the
English vocabulary thanks to Nathaniel Weyl, a former American
Communist of Jewish origin, who became a celebrity in the
fifties after converting to a radical anticommunist and a
denouncer of his former communist comrades. In his essay “Envy
and Aristocide,” Weyl describes how envy
prompts less intelligent people to criminal behavior and
malice.
Weyl's
concept of aristocide makes it easier to comprehend the real
reasons for the sanguinary behavior of Yugoslav Communists,
who, in the aftermath of WWII, carried out gigantic killings
against civilians of the Croatian, Serbian and the ethnic
German middle class. In their incessant purges the Yugoslav
secret police, the OZNA and the UDBA, were not only motivated
by ideological reasons, i.e., the famed ‘class struggle,’
but rather by primordial emotions of envy and knowledge that
many anticommunist and nationalist Croat intellectuals, were
more handsome, more intelligent, or had more moral integrity
than themselves. A German general and intelligence
officer, Lothar von Rendulic, who had a keen
understanding of the communist guerilla mindset in the
Balkans, describes cannibal-like practices of the Yugoslav
partisans against German Wehrmacht soldiers, and how German
soldiers begged him for transfers from the Balkan front to the
Eastern Front. (Gekämpft-gesiegt-geschlagen, 1952). It is a
great pity that many of such books have been translated
neither into Croatian nor into English.
In
his important book Future Human Evolution, John Glad
has pointed out that communist genocides had a direct impact
on the decline of cultural and economic growth of the new
nations of Eastern Europe because a large number of
intelligent people were simply wiped out and could not pass on
their genes to their offspring. One can say that all
East European nations were subjected to considerable depletion
of their gene pool.
Here
lies the trap of the tantalizing ideology of egalitarianism
and its most glaring offshoot, communism: These ideologies
teach that all people are equal, which logically entails a
conclusion that anybody can be replaceable and expendable at
will and that his or her replica can easily be reproduced in
another social environment. There is an old Yugoslav
communistic proverb, still alive in Croatia’s public life
that says: "No one is indispensable!"
Similar
theses of ‘indispensability’ and ‘expendability’ had
been earlier put forward by the Soviet pseudo-scientist
Trofim Lysenko, who argued that wheat can be grown in
Antarctica and that intelligent citizens can be cranked out
according to the communist party Five-Year Plan.
This
thesis, namely that the social-economic environment engenders
miracles, is still widespread, albeit in its softer version in
multiracial America. The liberal philosophy of the
“nurture factor” seems to be an ideal tool for petty
criminals, maladaptive individuals, and especially for people
of lower intelligence, who, as a rule, for their own physical
and moral shortcomings, always blame "somebody
else." The formula for such procrustean ethics becomes
transparent in the lexical and juridical fraud known as
“affirmative action” in the USA, which is in essence a
carbon copy of what multicultural communist Yugoslavia termed
the “republican key quota.” This Yugoslavian version of
affirmative action meant that each former Yugoslav constituent
communist republic was obliged to furnish its own share of
communist hacks to receive federal perks.
From
the beginning of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, communist
revolutionaries targeted the pre-revolutionary elites —
Russian aristocrats, the Christian clergy, the ethnically
German middle class, and all those whose intelligence and
knowledge were above average. Because of this,
communism, with its teachings of equality, is still highly
appreciated by large masses of dispossessed individuals, and
particularly by frustrated intellectuals because it stresses
the dogma of “equal opportunity with equal results."
Studies
should be made as to the exact number of the Croat urban
population killed by the Yugoslav communists after 1945. Maybe
forensic studies of the barren bones scattered in numerous
unknown graves and pits all over southern Austria, Slovenia
and Croatia could reveal interesting data on the decline in IQ
among Croats today. A French author, Christopher
Dolbeau, goes to great lengths to provide the names
of countless Croatian artists and scientists who perished in
Communist genocides in 1945 and after (writers:
John Softa, Marijan Marijasevic, Marijan Blazic, Bonaventura
Radonic, Kerubin Segvic, Yerko Skracic, Vladimir Jurcic; poets:
Stanko Vitkovic, Branko Klaric, Vinko Kos, Gabriel Cvitan; journalists:
Mijo Bzik, Agathe von Hausberger, John Maronic, Vilim Peros,
Daniel Uvanovic, Tias Mortigjija, etc. If we add to these
names the names of Croatian engineers, technicians, military
officers, priests — all classes of people with higher than
average IQs, the figure of human losses among Croat
intellectuals in the aftermath of WWII is frightening indeed (Croatie,
Sentinelle de l'Occident, 2005).
By
its nature communism, and to a large extent modern liberalism,
encourage mediocrity and lack of initiative, because everyone
who sticks out above the average is quickly castigated for
“bourgeois, fascist deviation.” Based on the rough
estimates of human losses in Yugoslavia, one could also
speculate about subsequent political events in Yugoslavia,
including the unnecessary war between two similar peoples the,
Serbs and Croats in 1991 — which was to a large extent
orchestrated by ex-communist Serb and Croat apparatchiks
respectively. In addition, Croatia had also its "silent
Bleiburg," — that is, the voluntary departure to
Western countries of over one million Croats, from 1945 to
1990.
Under
the romantic assumption that this biological disaster had not
occurred, Croatia may well have made today some significant
achievements in certain fields of science — and not just in
the field of sport or in the soccer field. The same goes for
all East European countries, except for one detail: Croats,
Estonians, Lithuanians are small peoples and the time needed
to replenish their gene pool lasts historically longer.
One
can advance another hypothesis. The Yugoslav crisis in 1990
and the subsequent savage interethnic killings would have
probably not taken place with highly intelligent and highly
educated non-communist and non-fascist politicians such as the
late Serb Milan Stojadinovic (who left in 1945 for Argentina)
and his Croat counterpart Vlatko Macek (who left the same year
for America). Conversely, if one had a quick glance at the
phenotype of the leaders in both in Croatia and Serbia in 1991
one is struck that they were all once avid participants of the
same Yugoslav communist mindset.
Murder
and persecution of intelligent people leads to economic
slowdown. Zimbabwe (former Rhodesia) was once the main wheat
exporting country in Africa. Today it must import food,
because of its inept government. Algeria was once the
breadbasket of France; now, although being one of the main
world exporters of natural gas and oil, it depends on huge
food imports. It is no wonder that the so-called Soviet
miracle — most notably the launching of the space rocket
Sputnik into the orbit, was due to the work of captured German
scientists. It is still an unspoken truth in Croatia today
that the so-called "Yugoslav miracle of the 60’s,”
was due to German slave workers (i.e., captured ethnic Germans
and German POWs, 1945–50).
Under
the assumption that Croatia had preserved its genetic stock
and that the tragedy of Bleiburg had not occurred, under the
assumption that hundreds of thousands of Croats had not
emigrated to Western countries, one cannot rule out that
Croatia would be by now a dynamic country with 8 to 10 million
people (approximately twice its current population), with
completely different political elites and political values.
Thus, even today, the framing of public opinion in Croatia
remains the privilege of sons and daughters of former
communist stalwarts whose past won’t pass away.
Sociobiological
analyses may be looked at with derision by the liberal media.
However, each individual knows deadly well which tribe or
ingroup he belongs to when “push comes to shove” — which
one is his real in-group. Should he fail to acknowledge his
racial or ethnic kinsmen or his “territorial imperative,”
“the Other” won’t hesitate to remind him of it. It may
sound cynical, but a significant number of Croats discovered
their nationalist credo only in 1990 — when the perception
of the communist and the Serb threat had begun looming large
on the horizon. A discovery of such ‘negative identity’
may tomorrow await Americans, which could then make the
ex-Yugoslav example look like a kindergarten brawl.
Subconsciously,
all races are aware of that old Latin proverb that “a
man’s character lies in his face” (in facie
legitur homo). And Friedrich Nietzsche was even blunter when
he recalled the ancient European wisdom "monstrum in
anime, monstrum in fronte (monster by spirit, monster in
head). Translated into English: a political crook is
recognizable by his facial expression.

Poet and Revisionist Gerd Honsik will have his three days
in court as Austria’s judiciary attempts to lock him up for
the maximum of 20 years for attempting to re-activate National
Socialism. He
was deported from Spain to Austria in August 2007 on an
Austrian-issued European Arrest Warrant. National Socialist
thoughts are not criminalized in Spain, where Honsik lived for
15 years after fleeing Austria in 1992 for having written
Freispruch fuer Hitler

The
Austrian Public prosecutor has now laid new charges against him
and the trial is set down to begin on 20 April 2009, Adolf
