Hitler and The Aliens!

ZOMG!

Ex-Nazi scientists continue to develop new flying saucers in secret underground bunkers in the New Swabia region of Antarctica. FACT.

Our discoveries have led us into the production of a number of currently suppressed and sometimes vilified books which are now underground bestsellers. “UFOs–NAZI SECRET WEAPON?” was our first title, now sold out in 5 complete editions. Our second book, “SECRET NAZI POLAR EXPEDITIONS”, is coming up fast and has sold out 2 full editions. Foreign language translations of these books are selling briskly, and it is becoming obvious to everyone that the media-enforced blockade of the truth has now been broken. Three additional books are currently under production and these will round out our Phase I Publishing Program: “THE CIA-KGB-UFO COVERUP”, “THE ANTARCTICA THEORY” and “THE LAST BATTALION”.

“UFOs–NAZI SECRET WEAPON?”

This sensational, underground best seller is now in its 5th edition in English and its 2nd edition in German. French, Spanish and Italian editions are now in the planning stages. This is the most talked-about U.F.O. book of the decade! As the center of controversy, its author, Christof Friedrich, has become the subject of much attention and has been a frequently-invited guest on many internationally broadcast TV and radio talkshows which SAMISDAT technicians have recorded on tape cassettes for sale to the UFOlogers and intrigued members of the public. This book is certainly intriguing, for it reveals for the first time amazing plans for Nazi Germany’s ultimate secret weapon: the Flying Disc!

“SECRET NAZI POLAR EXPEDITIONS”

Now in its second, enlarged edition, with many newly-discovered photos and illustrations. This is our latest best-seller. Read for the first time information which has been suppressed by Allied Censorship for over 40 years.

Author Christof Friedrich tears away the veils of wartime secrecy which surround Nazi Germany’s Arctic and Antarctic activities. Read how the secret THULE Society aided Hitler’s plans for Germany’s future. Discover the truth about Rudolf Hess and the secret knowledge which the Allies fear he will tell the world. Delve deeply into Hitler’s hidden teenage years. Discover Hitler’s submarine strategy and his postwar plans. Study the amazing pictures taken from NATO archives which reveal mystery submarines, U-boat designs and secret production facilities. A truly unique book!

I’m not crazy; you’re the one that’s crazy!

The ‘Fascist’ Cricket Tour of 1924–25
Andrew Moore
Sporting Traditions, Vol.7, No.1 (November, 1990)
[PDF]

In the inter-war period Australian political life was influenced by various ideologies imported from Europe. Bolshevism added clarity and rigour to Australian radicalism; class conscious Australian workers found much to celebrate in the successful October 1917 Revolution in Russia.

At the other end of the political spectrum many members of the comfortable classes were inspired by Benito Mussolini and subsequent fascist movements in Europe. Fascism came to be widely perceived as an antidote to Red Revolution. In the elite clubs of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide fascist panaceas were applauded over cigars and port, while conservative journals canvassed the prospects of an antipodean Mussolini emerging to teach sections of the militant Australian working class a lesson or two in industrial relations. By 1931 a mature form of Australian fascism had emerged in the form of an organisation known as the New Guard…

France, May 1968 : Even sport was touched by May ‘68. In a long-forgotten incident, a hundred or so footballers occupied the headquarters of the French Football Federation on avenue Iéna to demand reforms to contractual conditions that had previously meant, in effect, indentured players being unable to choose their club at the end of their contract. The standoff lasted five days and resulted in the concessions being met, standard contracts being introduced into French football the following year.

The Dole Army : “If it wasn’t real, it would almost be comical.”

LOL.

“In fact, the legend of the Dole Army owes much to a new form of protest sweeping the world called culture jamming. It’s closely linked to the anti-globalisation and anti-capitalist protests we’ve seen in cities around the world in recent years.”

Er…

Victory to Terrie-Anne Verney! Indian students finally “get the hint that they are not wanted here!”

Of bashed Indian students, she said they were “playing the victim card” and “the shit around their head must do something to their brain”. “Maybe a gun to their head might help them get the hint that they are not wanted here!,” she wrote.

Congratulations are in order to former Griffith (NSW) DJ Terrie-Anne Verney, as:

Indian students to shun Australia due to attacks
Michael Perry
Reuters
December 30, 2009

SYDNEY, Dec 30 (Reuters) – Australia’s international student sector, the third largest export earner, is forecast to see a 20 percent drop in Indian students in 2010, costing $69.7 million, after a series of attacks on Indians students in 2009.

A study by The Tourism Forecasting Committee released on Wednesday found that while international tourism numbers were expected to grow by 4.3 percent in 2010, there would be a significant decline in international student arrivals.

It forecast 4,000 fewer Indian students, a fall of 21 percent compared with a 35 percent rise in 2009.

“The resultant loss in economic value to Australia could be as high as A$78 million in 2010 if these enrolments are not filled by other international students,” a statement by the Tourism Forecasting Committee said…

The 21-year-old was apparently attacked as he walked through parkland west of the city on Saturday night. Senior sergeant David Snare said there was no indication the man, who had been studying accounting, was targeted because of his race. “I think to jump to any conclusion like that is presumptuous and may well interfere with the investigations,” Snare told reporters…”

2010?

2004. 2005. 2006. 2007. 2008. 2009.

2010?

F**k.

Play-acting “anarchists” and Mommy’s-little-skinheads
Death-threats and sycophants and wieners drunk on straight-edge
Fuck off!
Who cares?
I’d rather highlight Trip-Tiks than listen to your bullshit
Fuck off!
Who cares?
About your stupid scenes, your shitty zines, the straw-men you build up to burn?

But what have we here?
30 years later it still reeks of swill and chickenshit conformists
With their fists in the air
Like-father, like-son “rebels” bloated on Korn, Eminems and Bizkits
Lord, hear our prayer
Take back your Amy Grant mosh-crews and fair-weather politics
Blow-dry my hair and stick me on a ten-speed
Back to the Motor League
