International National Socialist body recognizes ‘State of Palestine’
Citing what it called “the fundamental National Socialist
The nongovernmental organization (NGO) called upon mem-
bers of the international community to join in establishing
diplomatic ties with the provisional government of the new
state, and to “support it politically and economically, as well
as militarily.”
It also demanded the immediate withdrawal of Zionist occu-
pation forces from Palestinian territory and the dismantling
of all Jewish settlements. … It further called for the right of
return for Palestinians expelled from their ancestral home-
land during the [Palestinian holocaust] of 1948, as well as
that of their descendants.
The NGO said it viewed the establishment of an independent
Palestinian state as the first step in a struggle for complete
Palestinian sovereignty, with its interim borders seen
as provisional and subject to revision and expansion, with
Jerusalem (Al Quds) as the future capital of a united Palestine.
… The World Union of National Socialists was formed at an
assembly of leading European and American National Social-
ists in the Cotswolds in England in 1962.
Among those present at the gathering were noted American
activist George Lincoln Rockwell and the late Colin Jordan
of Britain, who served as first head of the organization. New
Order commander Matt Koehl is the current WUNS president.

US tax-evasion probe turns to Israeli banks
Reuters — Lynnley Browning http://us.mobile.reuters.com/article/Deals/idUSTRE78E7PU20110915 The US pursuit of offshore tax evaders is widening to include Israel, where US authorities are scrutinizing three of Israel’s largest banks over suspicions their Swiss outposts helped American clients evade
taxes, people briefed on the matter said. The banks under scrutiny
by the US Justice Department’s criminal tax division are Bank
Hapoalim, Bank Leumi le-Israel BM and Mizrahi-Tefahot, the sources
said. … The shift also opens up a potential sore spot in the historically
close relationship between the United States and Israel, a key
diplomatic and military ally in the Middle East that is the biggest
recipient of US aid—$3.1 billion last year.

When not killing mutants of aliens, players kill Germans. … The enduring Nazification of evil was best summed up by the American Mike Godwin in his “law of Nazi analogies”. This stated: “As any online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 100%.” The topic is immaterial, but someone will sooner or later characterize someone else’s point of view with a reference to the Nazis, or “reductio ad Hitlerum”. … What is extraordinary is that the use of the Third Reich as an all-purpose metaphor for evil extends to every area of culture. The sculptors, the Chapman brothers, seem to derive some artistic drive from Nazism. Theatre directors feel obliged to pump up Richard III, Macbeth, even Hamlet’s Denmark, by depicting them in 1940s Germany. … This is strange given that Anglo-Saxons were nothing if not Germans.

German regime bans political prisoner organization
Jewish Telegraphic Agency http://jta.org/news/article/2011/09/21/3089520/germany-bans-largest-neo-nazi-group Announcing the ban of HNG [Hilfsgemeinschaft für nationale poli- tische Gefangene und deren Angehörige], German interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich said Wednesday that the organizations’s real purpose is to assist far-right extremists in opposing the democratic state. “Holocaust® survivors welcome the ban … as a sign of modern Germany’s political maturity and its clear determination to confront extremists in any guise,” Elan Steinberg, vice president of the American Gathering of Holocaust® Survivors and their Descendants, said in a statement responding to the news. A series of raids on HNG cells followed the ban, and materials were seized as evidence at locations in the states of Bavaria, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westfalia and Rhineland Pfalz. … Friedrich said that the federal government had to stop HNG from bolstering the aggressive, anti-democratic position of jailed right-wing extremists. “By rejecting the democratic rule of law and glorifying Nazism, HNG was trying to bind far-right criminals to ‘the scene,’ “ he said. “HNG has contributed to the apparent radicalization of the neo-Nazi scene” through its solidarity with and financial support for [political] criminals.” |
