Glad to hear your doing these things!

Uncovering historical truth and correcting misperceptions created by propaganda are very, very important. You can't fight the spread of fascism, state terror and endless war without these difficult efforts.

Be Vigilant - neo-Nazis Are Arriving Early In Leeds For The Griffin Trial
14.07.2005 05:12
The police are notoriously incapable of keeping tabs of fascists when they enter leeds.
No-doubt some of the neo-Nazis will try to stir up problems in local communities before and after the trial. Maybe they will arrive in Leeds a couple of days early to visit Beeston and Burley.
It is up to the people of leeds to protect these communities from facsist destruction, as these fuhrer-festishist slimeballs arrive in town.
BNP supporters are planning to kill two birds with one stone (as they say) when they gather next week. As well as stirring up racial hatred outside the ourthouse (with the tactit approval of leeds city council and the local police, who allow them to gatherm, they intend to arrive in Beeston and other leeds communitites beforehand, and afterwards, to incite racial attacks.
Some will gather a couple of days before the 21st of July, when Griffin and Co. will reappear in the courthouse, and some may already be in Leeds now, gathering in local pubs, and youth clubs, trying to hijack the shock and grief within these communities for their Ku Klox Klan-style white supremacist agendas.
Anti-racists must be already vigilant, and root out visiting Nazis from pubs within Beeston and other areas, which they plan to target.
The police say they will protect mosques and businesses from racial abuse, but they won't keep an eye out on known violent extremists visiting the pubs of Beeston late at night, inciting racial attacks.
They won't, will they, so it is up to ordinary people to banish these outsiders from our communities.
Neo-nazis like the Hitler-worshipping BNP have a nasty habit of crying "freedom" whenever they are challenged, and "censorship" whenever society seeks to protect itself from them (during the year when we remember and commemorate the dead at Auschwitz), but it must be remembered, if they ever took power, contrary to their lies and distortions, they definately would exterminate black, Asian, Muslim, and Jewish people. It happened in the Balkans recently to Bosnian Muslims, and would happen again over here, if the neo-Nazis aren't challeged with the necessary community resolve.
I had the displeasure of overhearing a BNP councillor recently bragging in a pub where i was unfortunate to be stopping for a drink, that "the BNP would have sent g8 protestors to gas chambers", if they had been in power and not Tony Blair.
Anti-capitalists, yes, campaign against Bush and Blair (as i myself personally did), but don't forget the immediate threat posed by grassroots fascists.
When Adolf Hitler took power (by electoral means), he murdered trade unionists and just about everyone who cared about humanity. The BNP are no different.
If the police won't do nothing to prevent Hitler-worshippers from wreaking hatred and destruction upon our communities, the communities themselves must be stirred into taking a stand against the amassing forces of hatred.
Use the minimum allowed force to remove neo-Nazis from the multicultural communities of Leeds.
BE VIGILANT!

The communities must act themselves to protect them from the cowardly thugs of the neo-Nazi BNP, trying to turn concern about terrorism into sickening race hatred. That's what c*nts like that, get off, on working up peoples fears.
Nazis must be made to feel afraid to visit the pubs of Beeston.
Peace, yo!!!

Working class people are intelligent and discerning, whatever our colour, creed, and background. We will not be hoodwinked by white supremacists trying to pit people against each other.
Most BNP members are wealthy and middle class propaganda leeches, feeding on pockets of financial depression. They don't belong in decent, honest, hardworking suburbs such as Beeston.
They belong in jail, and hopefully, when the politicians see they are both indirectly and directly involved in racial attacks, the BNP will be swept safely into the nearest bustbin, along with the religious fanatics.
David Copeland was a terrorist just as much as Al Quaida. He was also an active BNP member whom the cowardly, racially-violent BNP didn't disown until he subsequently got arrested.
Hatred, division, extremism and terror - they are one the same beast....
THEY DO NOT BELONG IN LEEDS!!!!!!
