Strange Brew in L.A.: Massage Parlors, German Nazis, Arson, Chechnyan Refugees

COMMENT: A case that raises more ques­tions than it answers con­tin­ues to unfold in Los Ange­les.  A Ger­man cit­i­zen of Chech­nyan extrac­tion was arrested for set­ting numer­ous fires in the L.A. area.
He allegedly per­formed the acts to protest his mother’s impend­ing extra­di­tion to Ger­many. Fol­low­ing the arrest, his mother had some inter­est­ing things to say. (His [...]

Nazis Infiltrating Germany’s Pirate Party

COMMENT: In the long For The Record series on Wik­iLeaks, Pirate Bay and the Arab Spring, we noted that the Pirate Party milieu in Europe has been the foun­da­tion of Wik­iLeaks’ pres­ence in Swe­den and Europe.
Osten­si­bly “anaarcho/Utopian” in their out­look, the Pirate Bay/Pirate Party milieu has man­i­fested strong fas­cist and Nazi con­nec­tions, despite its [...]

Is Germany’s Domestic Intelligence Agency Protecting neo-Nazis?

COMMENT: Germany’s domes­tic intel­li­gence ser­vice is sup­posed to fight Nazis, not pro­tect them. Yet Der Spiegel informs us that just such a sit­u­a­tion is sus­pected by observers of a Nazi crime wave imple­mented over about a decade and a half.
As dis­cussed in a pre­vi­ous Der Spiegel story, col­lu­sion between Nazis and ele­ments of Ger­man intelligence [...]

Fox News and the Violent, Seditious Right

COMMENT: After Glenn Beck’s exhor­ta­tion to his audi­ence to “shoot them [lib­er­als and Democ­rats] in the head,” the tan­gi­ble con­nec­tion between the sup­pos­edly “respectable” Fox News oper­a­tion and the mur­der­ous, para­mil­i­tary fas­cists blem­ish­ing the face of the coun­try  should be evi­dent.
From the vig­i­lant ‘ter­rafractyl’ comes a story that bears under­scor­ing.
A recently arrested militia [...]

Blockbuster Story: Germany Reopens Oktoberfest Bombing Probe

COMMENT: While the world awaits the out­come of the Greek ref­er­en­dum on the EU bailout pack­age, a block­buster story from Der Spiegel has been eclipsed.
Ger­man offi­cials have reopened the inves­ti­ga­tion into the Munich Okto­ber­fest bomb­ing of 1980, blamed on a “lone nut,” Gun­dolf Kohler. Far from being a lone nut, Kohler actu­ally had profound [...]

David Duke Endorses Occupy Wall Street

COMMENT: Long­time KKK and white suprema­cist leader David Duke has added his voice to the fas­cist and Nazi ele­ments climb­ing on the Occupy Wall Street band­wagon.
A num­ber of thoughts come to mind in this con­text. First, there are indi­ca­tions that far-right/fascist ele­ments (cloaked as “pro­gres­sives”) may have gen­er­ated the impe­tus for the move­ment in [...]

FTR #748 Update on the Rewriting of World War II History

Eston­ian cel­e­bra­tion of the Nazi inva­sion of World War II as ‘lib­er­a­tion’ and in Bel­gium, too, the past is being rewritten.

No Surprise Here: Fascist Violence on the Rise in Greece

COMMENT: In a dis­turb­ing echo of the 1930’s, the severe eco­nomic dis­tress in Greece is feed­ing far-right vio­lence and sen­ti­ment. Peo­ple pushed over the brink by the Great Depres­sion turned in their des­per­a­tion to fas­cism. We should expect sim­i­lar phe­nom­ena with the world again plung­ing into eco­nomic ruin.
As dis­cussed in FTR #746, the Greek cri­sis has [...]

Bullet Points (Ahem) about the Norway Massacres

COMMENT: With infor­ma­tion con­tin­u­ing to cas­cade in about the fas­cist blood­let­ting in Nor­way, a few things have become clear. Links are pro­vided here, but peo­ple may have to fol­low them and archive the text to get a com­plete printed record of this event–one which is eclipsed by other hor­rors and sure to be repeated [...]

More Right-Wing Israeli Interface with Euro-Fascists

COMMENT: Another right-wing Israeli polit­i­cal con­tin­gent has reached out to Euro­pean fas­cists. Com­muning with Russ­ian fas­cists, the “National Unity” bloc has impressed the leader of the National Demo­c­ra­tic Alliance, who feels the two groups have much in com­mon.
Fol­low­ing on the heels of an Iraeli deputy minister’s schmooz­ing with a promi­nent Swedish neo-fascist financier, Aryeh Eldad’s [...]
