antifa notes (july 5, 2015) : #ReclaimAustralia /// #UnitedPatriotsFront /// Neil Erikson ~versus~ Tanya Plibersek

Less than two weeks remain before the fascist rally of July 18 at Parliament House.

Prior to this weekend it was expected that ‘Reclaim Australia’ and the ‘United Patriots Front’ would rally jointly at 1pm as this was the time the UPF had declared as Hammer Time. On Saturday, however, ‘Reclaim Australia Melbourne’ (Bendigo businesswoman Monika Evers and her sidekick Julie Kendall) declared that they would be rallying at 11am. Subsequently, Shermon Burgess (UPF) has denounced Evers as a liar, a thief and ‘scum’. The bigots have been thrown into some turmoil as a result of this disorganisation but while a handful may have decided that they’ve had enough, the majority of the Reclaimers and UPF supporters will, one assumes, soldier on with their batshit antics.

Talking shit is something that’s been going around obviously, as Burgess’s neo-Nazi comrade Neil Erikson (UPF) has debuted another in a seemingly endless train-wreck of videos in which he alleges that Deputy Opposition leader Tanya Plibersek has been bankrolling opposition to Reclaim Australia. Further, he alleges that Plibersek has ‘strong ties’ to (accused teacher) Alex Gollan. (Erikson alleges that, rather than go to police to inform them of something-or-other to do with his pol.activism, Gollan went to Plibersek instead.) Erikson also invokes Alison Thorne, a Melbourne socialist who was interviewed by media on May 31 re the UPF rally. He describes her as being ‘pro-pedophile’ (she was ‘behind a movement that said pedophiles were nice people’).

Conclusion?

The communists have taken over our government. We’re in a political war right now. There’s two tribes. There’s the tribes that care about Australia and want it to succeed and then there’s a left-wing tribe who wants to destroy Australia from within. And who’s leading that? Tanya Plibersek. The liar, the criminal, the pedophile appeaser. Now I want a federal inquiry into her and the Labor government. I want to find out how deep this goes. Because if she was funding the counter-rallies, and she’s in support of pedophiles, she should be removed, at least. So patriots keep an eye out, this goes a lot deeper than you think.

Fortunately for the fascist meathead Erikson, Plibersek likely has better things to do than to sue a neo-Nazi for defamation.

In other news, the ‘Australian Defence League’ in Sydney has organised a busload of racists to travel to Melbourne for the July 18 hate rally. The bus has yet to fill but presumably will boast a full contingent before it leaves for Mexico. As it stands, the July 18 rally in Melbourne, whether at 11am (RA) or 1pm (UPF), has garnered the support of every anti-Semitic, fascist, White nationalist and neo-Nazi group in the country. Among others, this includes the neo-fascist/White nationalist Australia First Party, the neo-Nazi Greek Golden Dawn Party and even local supporters of the Croatian Ustasha (Ustaše) are expected to attend and show both their love for Straya and their hatred of Muslims, leftists and Jews (though not necessarily in that order).

In this context, it’s worth noting that the Jew-hating and Muslim-hating mobs that will descend on Parliament House on July 18 will be entering a city which has one of the largest populations per capita of Holocaust survivors in the world. Secondly, that the UPF in Melbourne is led by neo-Nazis: Blair Cottrell and Neil Erikson. Naturally, neither like The Jew very much, and while Erikson has a criminal conviction for anti-Semitic naughtiness, Cottrell too has views:

Zionists … I’m sick of hearing that coward word. Get some guts people and just say Jews, they are all Jews or Jewish servants. For thousands of years these Jews have been expelled and chased out of European Nations for the same shit. Napoleon and Hitler were the last to stand against them (please dont reply to this comment with ‘muh holocaust’ bullshit, cause that is a load of crap too) …

Curiously, one of the first Australian groups to have protested the maltreatment of Jews in Nazi Germany was the Australian Aborigines League. In November 1938, William Cooper led a delegation to the German consulate in Melbourne to present a resolution ‘condemning the persecution of Jews and Christians in Germany’ (see : Australia and the Holocaust: A Koori Perspective, Gary Foley, The Koori History Website (1997)). Coincidentally, William Cooper’s name is dropped in the latest (and quite terrific) release from Briggs & Co:

    Plibersek is a Slovenian name, and as such, would most likely hate nazis too.
