Melbourne Nazis Say: No to The Voice to Parliament/Yes to Boxing Gyms in Sunshine West

A march and rally supporting a ‘No’ vote in The Voice referendum was held in Melbourne CBD yesterday, one of several that took place in cities across the country. The Melbourne event, the latest in a series titled a ‘World Wide Rally for Freedom’, coincided with similar rallies around Australia organised and promoted by Australia’s No.1 Putin fanboy Simeon Boikov. Sadly, Mr Boikov was unable to attend any rallies as he’s bravely tucked himself away in the Russian consulate in Sydney in order to avoid an arrest warrant (issued after he allegedly assaulted an elderly Ukrainian late last year).

According to the ABC, about 1,000 people gathered in Sydney’s Hyde Park, hundreds in Melbourne, and smaller crowds in Brisbane, Adelaide and several regional towns. For reasons best known to itself, in its coverage of the event in Hyde Park — which starred ‘John Ruddick MLC and former MP Ross Cameron, One Nation’s Tania Mihailuk MLC and former United Australia Party MP Craig Kelly’ — SBS News elected to provide an opportunity for neo-Nazi activist Joel Davis (of ‘The Joel Davis & Blair Cottrell Show’) to complain about “the Aboriginal industry”:

For those of you coming in late:

On Saturday, 14 October 2023, Australians will have their say in a referendum about whether to change the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

Voters will be asked to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on a single question. The question on the ballot paper will be:

“A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

Do you approve this proposed alteration?”

The campaign against the vote has unleashed a torrent of lies and propaganda, naturally, as well as provided some Very Fine People an opportunity to resurrect some hoary old chestnuts like The Communist Plot to Erode Australia’s Sovereignty; or: How Australian white supremacists used a 40-year-old documentary to divide voters on the Voice (Kevin Nguyen and Michael Workman, ABC, September 23, 2023):

The ABC has analysed dozens of Telegram channels and Facebook groups showing mentions of Red Over Black — created by former Communist Party member turned right-wing activist Geoff McDonald — dating back to August last year.

During the first re-shares of his documentary, there was no mention of the Voice to Parliament.

But then on January 30, the anti-Semitic website XYZ — founded by white supremacist David Hiscox — linked McDonald’s work to the proposed Voice and described it as “communism by the back door”.

Two days later, a new telegram channel, Aboriginal Voice Exposed (AVE) was created. It would go on to become one of the most shared anti-Indigenous and anti-Voice to Parliament spaces on Telegram.

Hiscox — a UniMelb graduate, children’s music teach and relative veteran of the AltRight — announced his retirement from publishing antisemitic and neo-Nazi propaganda just last month, so he must be pleased that his vituperations in January continue to have their desired effect. As it happens, David’s kameraden in the National Socialist Network made an appearance at the Melbourne rally holding a banner reading ‘Voice = Anti White’.

The nazi contingent at the march and rally was small — about two dozen or so — and heavily outnumbered by those joining the ‘mainstream’ participants, organised by way of various superannuated influencers thrown up by the anti-lockdown movement of 2020–2021, including Harrison McLean. In 2021, McLean was using the handle ‘Dominic D’ to shitpoast, and a Guardian investigation revealed:

… Dominic’s engagement with a number of far-right groups online, including one used by the far-right Proud Boys group to vet new members and another made up of white supremacists including neo-Nazi Tom Sewell, who last month was charged after an alleged assault of a Channel Nine security guard.

Dominic D’s real name is Harrison McLean, a 24-year-old IT programmer, “blockchain architect” and former competitive cheerleader from Wantirna South in Melbourne’s outer suburbs.

Using his pseudonym, he has outlined plans to introduce his “freedom” group to more radical political views, while expressing deeply antisemitic opinions.

Antisemitism permeates right-wing opposition to The Voice, as it did the anti-vAxx movement (from which it draws much support). Another prominent ‘Voice At the Rally’ against ‘The Voice to Parliament’ was Darren ‘No Political Solution’ Bergwerf:

In the days before 7.30 attended his market, Mr Bergwerf shared anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to a My Place social media channel. When quizzed about its contents, he condemned last month’s demonstration by neo-Nazis in Melbourne but said he believed there was a question mark over the Holocaust in part because “I wasn’t there”.

See : The new frontline for conspiracy theorists: how Victorian councils were driven online to avoid chaos The Guardian, July 8, 2023 and for ongoing discussion of the anti-lockdown/freedumb movement hear Tinfoil Tales podcats.

As for the neo-Nazis, Rohan Smith (Neo-Nazis gathered in Melbourne for ‘No’ rally against Voice to Parliament, news dot com dot au, September 23, 2023) writes that ‘Days after neo-Nazis clashed violently with anti-fascists in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury, they were out again — this time in a disturbing show of support for the No campaign against the Voice to Parliament’ and notes that the boys wore ‘black masks to cover their faces and were heckled by members of the public and, on one occasion, pepper-sprayed by police’ as they were forced from the steps of Parliament: a position they’d previously occupied in May and March.

The NSN has been having a number of brushes with the law this year. In Adelaide in June, ‘Duncan Robert Cromb, 38, and Jackson Trevor Pay, 23, pleaded guilty to possessing documents and records of information for terrorist acts’ and received prison sentences in return. Last month, NSN fuehrer Tom Sewell and his sidekick Jacob Hersant (previously of defunct neo-Nazi grouplet Antipodean Resistance) pleaded guilty to a charge of violent disorder and are due back in court this week for sentencing. Also last month, another NSN loser was charged with making violent threats against senator Lidia Thorpe.

The NSN can, however, rely on the Christian nationalist crowdfunding site Give Send Go for financial support, having raised over $50,000 to date via that Goodly Christian site. Posing as both ‘Christian’ and ‘conservative’, Give Send Go was the gold sponsor of Warren Mundine’s Conservative Political Action Conference, the site of many bizarre claims about Indigenous peoples in general and The Voice in particular.

You won’t take my sunshine away

Finally, also on Saturday but this time in Melbourne’s west, the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism organised a rally and march to protest the National Socialist Network’s gym and organising base in Sunshine West. It’s estimated that around 500 attended, a similar number to a previous event in July. The protest follows closely upon the failure of the NSN to disrupt an anti-fascist benefit gig at Cafe Gummo in Thornbury on Friday, September 15. Another night of Anti-fascist Oi organised by SHARPs will take place in November, so keep an eye open and an ear out if that’s your thing.

Melbourne neo-Nazis flee from Melbourne SHARPs : September 15, 2023

Tom Tanuki has created a video to explain WTF happened when a dozen or so members of Tom Sewell’s neo-Nazi groupuscule the ‘National Socialist Network’ unwisely decided to attend an antifascist benefit gig last Friday:

Yeah Nah Pasaran! #179 w Emily M. Bender on Parrots for Make Benefit Glorious Intelligence of Artificial : September 21, 2023

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Emily M. Bender [Twitter/X///Mastodon]. Emily is a Professor of Linguistics at the University of Washington and is one of the people Time has named as among The 100 Most Influential People in AI 2023. She co-hosts, with Alex Hanna, the podcast Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000.

She also two cats — Euclid and Euler — which is pretty cool.

We spoke to Emily about ‘Artificial Intelligence’. More precisely, why it’s important to debunk the myths surrounding the label, the better to analyse the reality it obscures: for example, Large Language Models of the kind that produce ChatGPT are not ‘intelligent’, and AI would be better termed something like ‘mathy math’. Further, we discussed why it’s more important to focus upon the real and present harms of ‘AI’ than it is to join in ungrounded speculation on hypothetical risks in the future.

The world becomes a sum of lifeless artifacts; from synthetic food to synthetic organs, the whole man becomes part of the total machinery that he controls and is simultaneously controlled by. He has no plan, no goal for life, except doing what the logic of technique determines him to do. He aspires to make robots as one of the greatest achievements of his technical mind, and some specialists assure us that the robot will hardly be distinguishable from living men. This achievement will not seem so astonishing when man himself is hardly distinguishable from a robot.

~ Eric Fromm, The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973)

Anti-Nazi Rally, Sunshine West, Saturday, September 23 /// Donate to Black Peoples Union + White Rose Society

Just a brief note to highlight two things:

1)

The Campaign Against Racism and Fascism has organised a protest rally in Sunshine West on Saturday. The rally meets at 2pm at IGA Sunshine West. CARF organised a previous rally in July and another in February. See the Facebook event page for more details.

2)

Legacy Boxing Gym in Industrial Drive in Sunshine West is the organising base for the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network, members of which tried and failed to disrupt a benefit gig in Thornbury on Friday. The gig was to benefit the Black Peoples Union and the White Rose Society and, if you didn’t make it on the night, you can still donate to them via Chuffed.

Every dollar donated = one nazi tear.

Neo-Nazis attack anti-fascist benefit gig in Thornbury, Friday September 15

TLDR:

On Friday night, a small group of neo-Nazis armed with knives attempted to disrupt an anti-fascist benefit gig in Thornbury. Happily, the cowards were chased away by attendees. Currently, while several have previously been identified as belonging to Tom Sewell’s ‘National Socialist Network’ (NSN), help is being sought in identifying several of the other individuals who took part in the failed attack.

If you have any infos on the parties pictured below (click for a larger version), please contact The White Rose Society: [email protected].

Briefly:

Because footage of the incident was made available to them, both 9 News Melbourne and 7 News Melbourne carried reports. The 9 News account was fairly straightforward, if inevitably tabloid.

The 7 News report, on the other hand, as well as being sensationalist, was also reliably stoopid, rendering what happened as a random clash between two groups of ‘extremists’, both exotic to the area, and each acting without regard for locals.

In reality, the nazis had gone to Cafe Gummo — a well-known, queer-friendly dive bar in Thornbury, popular with locals — because that evening it was hosting a benefit gig for a local Indigenous group (the Black Peoples Union) and anti-fascist research group The White Rose Society. The gig was organised by local anti-fascists, including Melbourne SHARPs (Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice), a local chapter of a global network of anti-racist skinheads which has been fighting racism and fascism for decades. The performers included local bands An Effigy To Extinction, Dire Need, Louts and The Victim’s Ball.

The nazis were also members of the NSN, recently made infamous by, inter alia:

• their fuehrer, Thomas Sewell, pleading guilty (August 1) to a violent attack on a group of hikers at a Victorian state park;
hosting (July 30) an organising event at Altona RSL;
• the recent jailing (June 2) of two members in Adelaide for terrorist offences;
• their attendance at an anti-trans rally (March 18) hosted by Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (AKA ‘Posie Parker’) and starring disgraced Liberal MP Moira Deeming.

The nazis — whose ranks include the son of a Melbourne police officer — wore their typical black uniforms (including masks) and were armed with GoPro cameras and knives.

(In this context, it’s important to note that, along with Adolf Hitler, the NSN worships the Christchurch terrorist, who wore a GoPro in order to film the mass murder of 51 Muslims he committed in March 2019. Further, that another NSN member has recently been charged with making violent threats against federal Senator Lidia Thorpe.)

To cut a long story short, upon arriving at the gig, the nazis were spotted and chased away from the venue by attendees, fleeing north up High Street and into the surrounding area.

Finally, 7NewsMelbourne has a very poor record of reporting on fascism and the far-right in Melbourne. Most notoriously, in 2018, it portrayed the formation of a racist vigilante group — one directed at and attempting to capitalise upon Liberal Party hysteria over African youth crime — as ‘a kind of Neighbourhood Watch’.

The leadership of 2018’s racist vigilante gang is now the leadership of the nazi gang who attacked the benefit gig.

Yeah Nah Pasaran! #178 w Mike Rothschild on Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories : September 14, 2023

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Mike Rothschild [Twitter/X]. Last time we spoke to Mike (July 2021) we talked about his book about that stormy nonsense called QAnon and — 100 episodes later(!) — Mike’s back to tell us about how to build a Jewish Space Laser.

Well, kinda.

Actually, Mike has a new book out called Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories (Melville House Publishing) which drops next week and which ‘looks at how one Jewish family —the Rothschilds—became a lightning rod for the conspiracy theories of the last two centuries, and how those theories are still very much alive today’ and:

is a deeply researched dive into the history of the conspiracy industry around the Rothschild family – from the “pamphlet wars” of Paris in the 1840s to the dankest pits of the internet today. Journalist and conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild, who isn’t related to the family, sorts out myth from reality to find the truth about these conspiracy theories and their spreaders. Who were the Rothschilds? Who are they today? Do they really own $500 trillion and every central bank, in addition to “controlling the British money supply?” Is any of this actually true? And why, even as their wealth and influence have waned, do they continue to drive conspiracies and hoaxes?

antifa notes (september 9, 2023)

Stand Back, Stand By, Go To Jail, Do Not Pass GO

The leadership of the Proud Boys in the United States have been sent to jail over their role in the January 6 stoopid. What effect this will have on the Trumpist rank ‘n’ file of the organisation is unclear, but Andy Campbell (Proud Boys Didn’t Just Crash An Election. They Upended The Next One Too., HuffPost, September 6, 2023) reckons the zombie army will march on.

Closer to home and only a tiny fraction by comparison, the Australian franchise of the PBs mirrors its Yanqui brotherhood in its political pre-occupations, celebrating capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy on the one hand while expressing hatred and contempt for dissenting voices on the other. Of late, this has meant whinging and whining about drag queen story time.

Naturally, while Enrique Tarrio got 22 years, Gavin Mcinnes got a $2 million waterfront mansion in Larchmont, New York and any number of opportunities to laff all the way to the bank. As for Joseph “Joe” Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Dominic Pezzola, Zachary Rehl and Tarrio, they’re hoping and praying for a Trump victory and a Presidential pardon in 2024. Given his large and fanatical support base, ownership of the Republican party and the decrepitude of Sleepy Joe Biden and the Democrats, this remains a real possibility.

Blue Collars & Dead Ducks

At this stage, it’s unclear if and when the Victorian branches of the AMWU, CFMEU, ETU and PPTEU will release the millions of dollars they’ve committed to spending (or begin the industrial action they’ve vowed to take) in order to Make Duck Hunting Great Again but, along with the state opposition and the Shooters Party, the BIG fellas have won the enthusiastic support of a variety of others, including a dissident Labor MP from the latte-sipping inner north of Melbourne, an IPA bizarr0 writing for The Spectator, and an old mate in the local gun lobby/trade and former stalwart of a local fascist groupuscule: James Buckle.

The co-founder of a gun lobby group called ‘Firearm Owners United’ (FOU), Buckle was also involved in the establishment of the now-defunct grouplet ‘The Lads Society’ under Balwyn Gauleiter Tom Sewell. Sewell is currently awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to violent disorder in the County Court last month but otherwise keeps himself busy running the ‘National Socialist Network’; his chum Buckle, meanwhile, is selling hunting merch and military tat by way of ‘Eureka Tactical’. FOU, ET and other lobbies also joined the ETU and other unions in making submissions to the Victorian government inquiry into duck hunting, each agreeing with the other that the activity was vital to the health of the economy, the welfare of workers and industry, and to the well-being of society as a whole.

Fuehrer X

Apartheid Clyde has been threatening to sue The Anti-Defamation League, claiming that it — rather than his spectacularly inept management — is responsible for the plummeting advertising revenue which has apparently wiped much of the share value from his latest toy. Given that Space Karen is a renowned blowhard and that the organisation he’s blaming for the financial consequences of his idiot reign specialises in ah, defamation, it seems unlikely The World’s Richest Man will carry through on his threat, but time will tell. In the meantime, antisemitism will continue to flourish on the FAILING! platform, even as his Saudi Arabian partners murder its Twitter-based critics.

Stop Cop City

In Atlanta, Georgia, the relative success of the campaign to Stop Cop City has resulted in authorities launching an even more extraordinary effort to destroy it. Hence, following the police killing of Tortuguita in January, a RICO prosecution has been launched against 61 individuals associated with the campaign.

Worse than ISIS

The former CEO of Antifa in Australia is returning to Melbourne in October to talk loudly on trains and to walk funny around the city.

Free Alex Stokes! : “Anti-fascist, artist, and independent journalist Alex Stokes has been reporting on civil conflict in the United States for over five years … On January 6, 2021, as a mob attempted to overthrow the US government on Capitol Hill, armed members of the Proud Boys fascist gang who didn’t join their pals in Washington, DC. tried to stage their own violent threat to democracy at the New York state capitol. Alex was there among counter-protestors. When the Piss Boys attacked the counter-protestors with weapons, Alex jumped up to defend those being assaulted … the courts did not see what Alex did as clear self-defense and instead convicted him on assault charges, sentencing him to twenty years in prison. This is an obvious miscarriage of justice and the stakes of Alex’s appeal of his sentence could not be higher.

Please help us to ensure this injustice is overturned and Alex walks free!”

Yeah Nah Pasaran! #177 w Eviane Leidig on The Women of the Far Right: Social Media Influencers & Online Radicalization : September 7, 2023

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Eviane Leidig [Twitter/X]. Eviane has been featured by The Independent, Al Jazeera, BBC, Australia Broadcasting Corporation, and Bellingcat but — moreover — YNP! had a yarn with Eviane three years ago, when we discussed the far-right, India and The West (April 30, 2020). On this occasion we spoke to her about her new book, The Women of the Far Right: Social Media Influencers & Online Radicalization (Columbia University Press, 2023):

Eviane Leidig offers an in-depth look into the world of far-right women influencers, exploring the digital lives they cultivate as they seek new recruits for white nationalism. Going beyond stereotypes of the typical male white supremacist, she uncovers how young, attractive women are playing key roles as propagandists, organizers, fundraisers, and entrepreneurs. Leidig argues that far-right women are marketing themselves as authentic and accessible in order to reach new followers and spread a hateful ideology. This insidious—and highly gendered—strategy takes advantage of the structure of social media platforms, where far-right women influencers’ content is shared with and promoted to mainstream audiences. Providing much-needed expertise on gender and the far right, this timely and accessible book also details online and offline approaches to countering extremism.

Musick … in 2023?

I don’t remember why exactly but — a long, long time ago, when I began blogging, I made a list of some of the muzak what I like:

Brigada Flores Magon • Brujeria • Built to Spill • Christ On A Crutch • Chumbawamba • Combat Wombat • Consolidated • Michael Franti [& Spearhead] • Fugazi • Insurgence Records • The (International) Noise Conspiracy • Linton Kwesi Johnson • Killdozer • Pisschrist • Pitchshifter • Schifosi • Gil Scott-Heron • Sin Dios • SNOG • Stage Bottles • Stereolab • The Celibate Rifles • The Oppressed • Yidcore

In 2023, most of these bands/musical projekts — some of whom were kinda un-well when I wrote about them — are deaded. Still standing are Brujeria, Built to Spill, Combat Wombat and ‘Insurgence Records’ (Urban Strife), Stage Bottles and Stereolab. And maybe Pitchshifter. And Consolidated. I’m also happy to learn that Brujeria have just dropped a new album but less happy that I’ve missed out on tickets to Built to Spill. Otherwise, for Pisschrist, see also Enzyme /// Jalang.

There’s Over 9,000 other artistes I could list, but never mind the bollocks, here’s Brujeria:

Yeah Nah Pasaran! #176 w Tom Tanuki on Dragging CPAC Cookers : August 31, 2023

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Tom Tanuki [X/Twitter/The YouTubes]. Tom has been a guest on the show on several previous occasions, most recently in August last year when we talked to him about conspiracies, freedumbs and a kidnapping case involving sovcits.

This time around, we spoke to him about Warren Mundine’s Conservative Political Action Conference and the remnants of the anti-lockdown turned anti-trans movement in Melbourne and their appearance at a recent drag event.
