BNP LONDON ORGANISER PRODUCED MURDERER’S HIT LIST

One of the British National Party’s leading activists in the campaign for the London Assembly and European Parliament was implicated in South Africa’s most infamous murder case.

Arthur Kemp spoke at a recent campaign rally in London alongside BNP leader Nick Griffin. He has written articles for the BNP magazine Identity and has been prominent in the party’s efforts to elect convicted football hooligan Jason Douglas to the London Assembly.

Kemp, a long-time sinister servant of the former apartheid state in South Africa, has found a fellow believer in Griffin, whose own pronounced views on racial separation show that he would like to see the same sort of apartheid system in Britain.

The total disarray of the BNP’s London campaign has led Griffin to override those BNP officers who were in charge of the BNP’s efforts in the capital and replace them with this fellow conspirator of killers and torturers in the old South Africa.

Let Kemp’s record speak for itself as a warning to Londoners of what a vote for the BNP would mean.

During the 1980s Kemp served as a sergeant in the feared South African Security Police, responsible for some of South Africa’s worst human rights abuses. Even as a student he had been a servant of the apartheid state as an activist with the “Moderate Student Movement”, a front for P. W. Botha’s secret service.

From 1989 until 1992 he worked for Die Patriot, the newspaper of the extremist South African Conservative Party, which rejected any reform of apartheid. Many of the party’s members were later involved in acts of terrorism against Nelson Mandela’s new government. Kemp himself called for the violent overthrow of the democratically elected ANC.

Early in 1993 Kemp compiled what was later described as a “hit list” containing the home addresses of several ANC politicians. He supplied the list to two of his racist colleagues, Clive and Gaye Derby-Lewis.

In April 1993 Chris Hani, one of Nelson Mandela’s closest ANC colleagues, regarded by many as a future South African president, was shot dead outside his home. Police quickly arrested the gunman, Polish born Janusz Walus, and discovered Kemp’s hit list at his flat.

Kemp and several of his far-right associates, including Clive and Gaye Derby-Lewis, were also arrested for Hani’s murder. Walus and Clive Derby-Lewis are still serving life sentences.

Both before and after the Hani assassination, Kemp continued to build a web of contacts with some of the world’s most dangerous racists and nazis, including BNP members. He came to England in 1996 but was exposed by Searchlight. Since then he has played a key, but low profile, role among other criminals in the BNP’s hierarchy.

He has spoken at nazi meetings in Germany and written for the magazine Nation und Europa, which was founded by a former SS officer. His articles have appeared on the Stormfront website run by the Ku Klux Klan member and convicted mercenary Don Black.

During the 1990s Kemp was in regular contact with members of the National Alliance, the US-based organisation whose founder inspired the Oklahoma bombing, and with the World Union of National Socialists, a now defunct umbrella group which once united BNP founder John Tyndall and the US nazi leader George Lincoln Rockwell.

Kemp has published books on the history of white racism and the AWB terrorist movement in South Africa. But his support for the BNP has caused controversy in the ranks of Britain’s racists. Some party members distrust his motives and suspect that he is being groomed for a job with any London Assembly or European Parliament members that the BNP manage to get elected.

I have it on good authority from people in the South african intelligence community that Mr Kemp was known to be an MI6 officer....

Hilarious Rubbish

What a crock of hilarious rubbish!

Allow me to point out just a few of the more terribly obvious lies:

1. "Arthur Kemp . . . has been prominent in the party’s efforts to elect convicted football hooligan Jason Douglas to the London Assembly."

Utter nonsense! I visited London for ONE DAY and never had anything to do with Jason Douglas’ election, as a simple call to him will confirm!

2. "Kemp, a long-time sinister servant of the former apartheid state in South Africa"

If you call being conscripted (along with every other young White South African resident) into the military as a “servant” . . . . but a ‘long time sinister servant’ ? pure invention!

3. "The total disarray of the BNP’s London campaign has led Griffin to override those BNP officers who were in charge of the BNP’s efforts in the capital and replace them with this fellow conspirator of killers and torturers in the old South Africa."

Funnier than a barrel of mokeys! I never had anything to do with the London BNP campaign. I was never in charge of any campaign, anywhere, zero, zilch squat!

And please tell me where I 'tortured anyone' ? That is libellous in the extreme. . . .hmm.

Really, you Searchlight liars should at least TRY to ascertain the facts before making your name so ARSE with such patent nonsense!

4. "During the 1980s Kemp served as a sergeant in the feared South African Security Police, responsible for some of South Africa’s worst human rights abuses."

Whoops! Another even poorer lie (I thought the ones above were bad!) I was of course conscripted into SA military and was a national serviceman, along with hundreds of thousands of others. I served in the uniform branch of the SA Police, walking beat as a uniformed cop in Johannesburg.

5. "Even as a student he had been a servant of the apartheid state as an activist with the “Moderate Student Movement”, a front for P. W. Botha’s secret service."

ROTFL! The MSM was my own student organisation at the University of Cape Town.

What the piss poor Searchlight liars are talking about is the ‘National Student Federation’ which was indeed started by the SA Military Intelligence as a front, by one Russel Crystal at the University of the Witwatersrand. Crystal managed to trick a whole lot of conservative student organisations around the country into affiliating to the NSF (possibly to even spy on them) and was only revealed as a front in the early 1990s, some seven years after I left university . . . .

Once again, piss poor Searchlight liars, please try at least to find out the facts before issuing such hilarious nonsense!

6. "Kemp himself called for the violent overthrow of the democratically elected ANC."

Ha ha ha ha! This gets better and better as we go along! In fact, this claim comes form a misquote of a speech I gave at a meeting of the ‘German-South Africa friendship Association’ in Germany in 1992.

My speech actually said that I foresaw the SA right wing suing violence to try and oppose the coming to power of the ANC – a prediction that was entirely accurate. I also predicted that such violence would fail and that ANC would indeed come to power.

My speech was given in 1992: the ANC came to power in 1994: ipso facto, how could I havd callen for the "violent overthrow of the democratically elected ANC" HUH? They weren't even in power than, you idiot liars!

As a matter of interest, this was of course no “neo-Nazi meeting’ either, as can be attested to the fact that one of the other speakers at that meeting is today a sitting ANC public representatives in South Africa. So boo hoo to you!

7. "Early in 1993 Kemp compiled what was later described as a “hit list” containing the home addresses of several ANC politicians. He supplied the list to two of his racist colleagues, Clive and Gaye Derby-Lewis."

Whoops! Check out the court records, you myopic liars! I specifically said in court that it was NOT a hit list! And the court accepted that, that was why Gaye Dery-Lewis was acquitted of all charges, even though she had asked for the list!

Funny that, you have a habit of taking a fact and then presenting it is exactly the opposite: now, I wonder why you would do that then hey?

8. "He came to England in 1996 but was exposed by Searchlight. Since then he has played a key, but low profile, role among other criminals in the BNP’s hierarchy."

The best lie of all! WAKE UP YOU CLOWNS, I don’t even live in the UK! How can I have played a 'key but low profile' role? You are speaking out of your ARSE! (as usual).

What a pathetic fantasy!

Try again suckers, but this time try and make it slightly believable please!
