Something has to be done with REDWATCH

Something has to be done with www.redwatch.org.uk, www.redwatch.net, www.redwatch.co.uk

Dear friends,

Someone should do something about the fascist/nazi website www.redwatch.org.uk (and its different versions: www.redwatch.net and www.redwatch.co.uk)
They publish photographs of protestors (left-wing, communists, anti-nazis and anarchists) and they try to obtain information about names and addresses. Some people have been already attacked.

I do not know which is the best form of action as I do not really trust the police. Any ideas are welcome.

Antifash do the same

How do you feel about the antifash publishing photos, names and addresses of those whom they disapprove of? This has also led to savage beatings of persons suspected (maybe only by the publisher) of being members of the BNP, NF etc.

Any political movement which fails to commit itself to peaceful means, and to respect the rights of those whom it disagrees with, including the right to meet and speak has no place in a democracy. Anyone claiming otherwise is a far greater fascist than the worst of the far right.

Redwatch dosn't deserve to be taken seriously, and I don't think many people do. If any assault has taken place on anyone 'featured' on redwatch, that is a matter for the police to take up with the persons responsible. Claiming that "redwatch told me he's a commie" won't sound that good as mitigation in court.

Peace.

Who cares about Redwatch

28.06.2006 22:41

The site is irrelvant. It is only viewed by people on indymedia and other leftists.

Lets do something positive !

28.06.2006 22:46

Let's slaughter the bastards who are planning to slaughter us. Publish any name of any Redwatch contributor here and I will endeavor to publish their name here. If you kill the first fascist I track down then I will treat you as serious, otherwise, why not save them some time and add your own name to Redwatch ?

It's not a joke, it's not a game. You have to realise though that Redwatch has killed few if any, while decent 'god-fearing' 'socialists' have committed mass-genocide in Iraq for their leaders profit. So who deserves to be listed amongst the enemies of love ? Let's concentrate our fury on the Labourt party scum who infect us rather than the Nazi paedos who are incidental at best. Killing Nick Griffin - one point - killing ANY Labour party member - 100 points.

Red?

I agree this post should be deleted. It's an advert for the website.

It's funny that some of the snaps of 'reds' are just people at anti war demos.

UK-ICD is an easily available PC CD that contains every electoral role / busines address in the UK. Some of the most obvious targets have been faked in the CD so you should exercise caution, it is always worth checking with previous versions of the same software for confirmation as they weren't initially policed/'ammended' so heavily..

Still, the scum who commit torture/ abuse/ethnic-cleansing genocide abroad normally live here or in the US so why not take our anger out on those who really do deserve it - not the petty little moronic fascists but the ones who sell fascism as 'western-democracy', the local Labour party scum who seem like nice guys.

All you pacifists who are appalled by the thought of an eye for an eye, all I have to say is your inaction has murdered millions to your own profit. You deserve what is coming.

The Russians have almost got it. You murder a Russian abroad and you get killed. Any pensioner in the UK who doesn't question their pension fund investment - dead space, one more hypocritical killer who feels the other side of their two-sided sword. You murder someone by your silence, by your inaction, you can have no complaints when someone bombs you before you bomb them.

Indymedia Has Been Hijacked By Propagandering Neo-Nazis

29.06.2006 10:08

It's time for Indymedia to be censored.

Most of the blatant fascist posts, and trolls, are the work of Nick (I'm so pretty) Cass, and Mark (I can't get a girlfriend) Collett, i.e. Mister Angry with the psycho eyes! They are the BNP's webmasters.

It's always the BNP photographers who take pictures at demos, who pass the pics to Redwatch.

Despite their public posturing, Eddy Morrison's BPP are really quite accomodating to the BNP, by using their photos taken outside the Leeds Crown Court, with open arms. Many recognisable BNP figures including local authoriuty candidates were taking pictures of the protestors, Redwatch the sole aim of all the cameras.

The police didn't give a shit!

So dudes, it's time to clean up Indymedia once and for all, and stop the fascist infliltration for good.

Almost no original material

29.06.2006 10:29

RedWatch's "updates" are mostly photos thay have copied off Indymedia, virtually none on the photos on their site have actually been taken by fash and they clearly don't have a clue who any of the people are in the photos.

Simon Sheppard, who lives near Hull is the person behind the domain registrations, the police know this, they don't care and do nothing. This has been on Indymedia many times before.

Redwatch gets updated for the first time in ages and two supposed anti-fascists are drawing everyones attention to it on the IMC newswire. Also providing links to it......

Perspective

29.06.2006 10:42

When the media refers to the names of fascists, they are doing one of three things: - they are (a) reporting crimes
(b) referring to fascists who have entered the public realm, by standing as candidates for local elections,
or (c) doing invetigations for the public good, protecting Britain from race hate, which NEVER CAN BE JUSTIFIED MORALLY.
Even unofficial internet anti-nazi websites do refer to individuals, rarely do they supply photos attached to names and faces (trolls might do such a thing, to pin the blame to anti-racists, to try to argue in favour of Redwatch) Often such individuals are male, and have vilent pasts, not that it is recommended to publish addresses and phone numbers.

When "Redwatch" features photographs of anti-racist protestors, they are normally ordinary members of the public, including.......
(a) students
(b) elderly pacifists including Christians
(c) women and children, including families
(d) anti-war protestors (who aren't even necessarily protesting against neo-Nazis like the BNP - why are they there??? - if so called self-defence is listed as a motivation by the defenders of pure hate, and that's all Redwatch is, anti-war protestors shouldn't even be on the website. I thought the BNP said "they supposedly didn't support the War in Iraq" - what the f*cking hell?????)

Race hate, fear, and the triumph of Adolf Hitler's legacy, are the only motivations for dojg this.
The violence initiated from the professionally-organised neo-Nazi Redwatch site, is far more severe from any unofficial, amateurish anti-nazi hitlist, (if they do indeed exist, and aren't the work of nazi trolls)

Publishing pictures, names, and faces of ordinary, law abiding members of the public who feel strongly about social injustice, like Redwatch does, IS NOT NEWS, GODDAMN IT!!! The sole aim of the Redwatch is to incite murder, arsen, and violence, not simply to disrupt the lives of anti-racist protestors to make themselves heard...

Their aim, is to make ordinary people too scared to join in protests against the neo-Nazi BNP. The man who was almost murdered on his own doorstep, Mr McFadden had coordinated a campaign against the British National Party, and this was why he almost killed by BNP supporters. When is the last time a BNP member was almost stabbed to death because of supposed "anti-fascist hitlists"?

Generating fear is an old fascist tactic.
The less people who turn up for anti-racist demos, the better the small number of BNP supporters, look, when the television reporters turn up. That is the aim of Redwatch, to make the BNP appeal stronger. So much for the BNP and the BPP not bieing on spaking terms. The BNP are the only neo-Nazi beneficaries of Redwatch.

Philosophically, racism is evil, (morally negative) and its defence CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

One day, racists will be locked up for life, and we can all sleep comfortably in their beds.

Holy America

29.06.2006 10:57

Holy sh&t!

The Redwatch site is hosted in the good old US of A. Praise Be The Lord! for such an affirmed Christian nation to not love they neighbour.

Al Quida websites hosted in the USA are closed down immediately, but racist terror websites (the Oklahoma City Bomb, the Bologna Massacre, and the Admiral Duncan pub bombing, and Brick Lane acts of terror), are allowed to continue. Even America's oldest terrorist organisation, the Ku Klux Klan are allowed a full web presence, and are linked through the Redwatch website. The Ku Klux Klan have murdered thousands of people since their invention, when Confererate pro-slavery forces were defeated, and a bunch of "redneck white terrorists" decided to keep the flame alive.

Nick Griffin is the best friend of white terrorist, and former Klan leader David Duke. Thus the BNP and Redwatch/Blood And Honour are iterlinked. White Supremacists, despite their individual differences, do work together to spread hatred and fear around the globe, just like Al Quida's alleged terror network.

Even worse, race hate, foremost isn't even based on religious dogma, and closed minds entrapped by religious fundamentalism. People like Nick Griffin and Mark Collett worship Adolf Hitler and eugenicists.

America's freedom of speech is a millstone around its neck, used to maintain "divide and conquer rule over minorities, to help increasse corporate profits through mainitaining a black and Hispanic, and Muslim underclass which will do all the crappiest jobs, keeping down presecuted people from social advancement.

With the torture of innocent people in their military colonies, America is, indeed a racist country.

Go back to sleep antifascists. Your government is in control again. Not!

29.06.2006 15:41

Wallasey MP Angela Eagle - who was an ultra loyal Blairite before he sacked her as a Minister and she discovered she didn't like foundation hospitals - seems to have got the Home Office to look into Redwatch. She won the right to start a debate on the site in the House of Commons, and the debate can be read at  http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2006-06-21a.1436.0&s=internet.

Parliamentary Under-Secretary for the Home Office Vernon Coaker went on about how "the government deplore extremism of that kind", and vaguely promised to "raise all the issues that have been mentioned in the debate with the internet service providers the next time I meet them".

Since Merseyside TUC President Alec McFadden is a constituent of Angela Eagle, this whole thing is just a way of getting herself in the papers. She certainly didn't seem to care about the hundreds of thousands in Iraq she voted to kill. As for the Home Office, they seem much too concerned with their own racist attacks on immigrants and Muslims to be worried about a few 'reds'.

We can't go running to the government to protect us from a few internet thugs. Community-based action is what's needed. Antifascists are the overwhelming majority in this country!

29.06.2006 16:34

the main pictures of leeds crown court demo were taken on a olympus camedia c-130 digital compact, serial number 435-87756 a poor quality low resolution, budget camera, the other 2 were taken on a nikon d70 most likely by a indymedia photographer and probally stolen from socialist worker or even this website, redwatch forgot to strip out exif info but reposted next day with the information missing, most likely when someone pointed this out.
hope this helps

A question for the photo expert

29.06.2006 18:12

Would you care to expand on your identification of the cameras ? I've never had to think about how to identify a camera from a photo, especially published on the web and am curious how you can be so precise. I don't doubt your judgement but how certain are you of your identifications and how did you reach them ? Can you do this with all photographs and are there relevant websites that expand on the subject ?

Dan


reading exif

29.06.2006 20:14

basically an image has digital data written within it, most people do not know how to strip it out, it stores camera make , model, serial and exposure and shtter values and time stamps.
a simple way to remove it is to save your image as a bitmap and then convert it back to jpeg by resaving it, all info will be lost, unfortunatly they have reposted the images with it striped out yesterday
find out more here

Thanks

29.06.2006 20:48

Ach, I'm a computer guy, I should've known that. Thanks though, I do now. A few years ago there was a plethora of leaked information caused by people posting Word documents without cutting the 'history/undo' info from them first, same sort of thing. And for anyone who doesn't already know, never print your ransom demands on your own printer while kidnapping !

Just to pick your brains further, are there ways to identify non-digital cameras from photographs ?

PS is that an unique serial number on the camera and is there any way to trace it ? I'm a firm believer in using the law, or any other bullying force, to my advantage when I can. It's just a couple of my friends are on Redwatch and while I'd be willing to kick the webmasters to hospital, a criminal conviction would satisfy my sense of fair-play.

The first photo on the Manchester section may have landed them in a lot of trouble.

FC United had a problem earlier on in the season when some BNP pricks tried to spread their propaganda amongst the fans. They were quickly seen off, by a concerted campaign by the fans and board who approached them directly.

They have now put a photo on Redwatch of a load of fans who just happened to be standing near to one of the people involved, but, thick twats that they are, have taken it from the website of the official club photographer who has copyrighted his work. The people who own the copyright have every intention of taking the site through legal proceedings for unlawful use of their copyrighted work.

Well ASBO Redwatch

07.07.2006 00:18

The possibility of an ASBO for the owners of REDWATCH can be followed up on Good grounds. This is because the site is primarily the work of two people soliciting contributions from person or persons unknown. This would not be a reasonable
 http://www.jrf.org.uk/knowledge/findings/housing/n100.asp

It would seem that ASBOS have been granted against racial hatred supporters. Redwatch could reform its language. But clearly the structure of the sites demonstrates that it is specifically targeting different geographical areas in a methodical fashion. It could reform its site structure. It does target specific people. Which ensures the organisers are open to an ASBO.

It also happens that the home office would like to see a rise in cosmetic convictions for incitement to racial hatred. Now Redwatch is not interested in that. Redwatch is interested in "reds". (In other words ordinary decent people). The problem for Redwatch is that it does not highlight fascists in the same fashion so, unlike indymedia, it has a definite agenda. Which is one open to an ASBO.

 http://www.crimereduction.gov.uk/toolkits/as020202.htm
In general this is an area of some research.
 http://www.crimereduction.gov.uk/res_solu.htm

As the website is located in the United States it might be of interest to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC maintains an interest in hate crimes.
 http://www.splcenter.org/intel/news/item.jsp?site_area=1&aid=192
And are always interested to hear about the activities of the neofascists.
 http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=34
 http://www.splcenter.org/

Inciting a crime from the US in another country is possibly worth more than five years in pokey. Not something I wish on anybody. But any crime with more than five years sentence is worth extradition - if it's good enough for Nat West employees then it's good enough for neofascists.

It may not make much sense. But using Searchlight's standard e-mail to Doctor Reid should be done. It builds the case for an ASBO.

your not wanted at FC

The BNP scumbag who after being put in his place along with his other cronies earlier this year after trying to use FC UNITED OF MANCHESTER games on several ocassions by leaving stickers,leaflets and copies in pubs near the grounds FC UTD were playing and in the main stand at home games the west yorks bnp activist and his cronies watch the games from this stand was warned offically by club board members that if the wore bnp insignia and continued to leave litrature they would be banned from games. also they were confronted by anti fascicist FC fans who told them that attempting to use OUR CLUB to spread their racist filth and try use our clu as a recruiting ground would not be tolerated and any future attempts would be sopped by whatever means necessary. in the end they werte told that if they came to FC games then came as individual FC UTD fans not as members of political groups.after all FC UTD attracts support from all across Manchesters communities,young,old,working class,middle class,low income,high income,gay,straight,scally,old hooligans,libberals,anarchists,old labour, and the odd tory and bnp'er included.FC UM is progresssive all inclusive and ANTI RACIST.as it says OUR CLUB OUR RULES. the nazi bnp who are latching on to FC UTD i suspect that they are at FC because of the GLAZER family's religion ie JEWISH and the old stereotypical racist shite that their party in private peddles.again members of manchesters diverse religious communities attend as FC MEMBERS and SUPPORTERS.hundreds of us FC fans made our views clear and sung 'BNP F%&K OFF HOME towards the 6 or so BNP'ers in the main stand. the cowardly bnper decides to supply REDWATCH with photos of a well known anti fascist and people who who happend to be photographed next to him. therefore setting them all up for attack. all because he wasnt happy being confronted by FC UTD FANS who are not happy with scumbags attemting to spread racist filth and us e OUR CLUB to promote their disgusting group.FC UTD fans aint gonna stand for it.NO PLATFORM FOR NAZIS AT FC.
