Silly boneheads!<\/p>\n
An ANZAC Day gig<\/a> (see below<\/em>) is being organised by two neo-Nazi associations: Blood & Honour Australia and the Southern Cross Hammerskins. Hammerskins in the US (where the franchise was born) will be throwing a party<\/a> on April 20 to celebrate Adolf Hitler’s birthday; in 2007, Blood & Honour New Zealand and the New Zealand Hammerskins celebrated Der Fuehrer<\/em>‘s birthday by arranging for Newcastle band Blood Red Eagle to play a gig at Satan’s Slaves MC HQ<\/a> in Wellington.<\/p>\n Moar later…<\/em><\/p>\n Perth neo-Nazis target Anzac Day<\/a> Neo-Nazi plans to defile Anzac Day by throwing a punk [sic] music fundraiser at pubs across Perth have been dubbed “offensive” and “upsetting” by the RSL.<\/p>\n The pictured flyer for a string of so-called Western Assault gigs appears on the website of international neo-Nazi group Blood & Honour.<\/p>\n When WAtoday.com.au walked RSLWA president Bill Gaynor through the skinhead [sic] site, he couldn’t believe his eyes.<\/p>\n “It does seem unusual they are targeting Anzac Day which is a day that is sacred to all Australians,” Mr Gaynor said.<\/p>\n “They appear to me to be promoting something that’s not consistent with the Australian way of life.”<\/p>\n The Blood & Honour website says the group is an international community of “White Racialists” which promotes the cause of “White Resistance” through the “powerful medium of music”.<\/p>\n “We believe there is a need to provide White youth with an alternative to the ‘hip-hop’ culture so eagerly promoted by the Zionist controlled media,” the website says.<\/p>\n “We hold regular gigs around Australia for all those interested to attend and subsequently help a strong resistance grow.<\/p>\n “We believe it is important for all racially concious (sic) people to become active participants in pro-White movements such as Blood & Honour.”<\/p>\n Mr Gaynor railed against a photograph, published on the website, of a Nazi flag unfurled beside the stage at a recent Blood & Honour gig held interstate.<\/p>\n “That there would be in itself offensive to all veterans, but especially those who fought in the European theatre of war,” Mr Gaynor fired.<\/p>\n “The RSL could not support such a group.<\/p>\n “I personally find it upsetting.”<\/p>\n Mr Gaynor supported the democratic values in defence of which his members had fought Hitler during World War II, but said that the free speech line had to be drawn somewhere.<\/p>\n “Perhaps they may be described as a misguided group,” he said of Blood & Honour.<\/p>\n “The RSL holds the values of society, and intrusions on those values by groups like these is unwelcome.<\/p>\n “As an organisation, the RSL takes in everyone’s point of view, but that point of view has to be tempered with broadly held societal values.”<\/p>\n Mr Gaynor implored everybody, not just those with extreme beliefs, to put their soapbox away for the day.<\/p>\n “Certainly Anzac Day is not a day for anyone to be pushing or promoting a political point,” he explained.<\/p>\n “It is a day to remember those who gave their life to promote a democratic society.”<\/p>\n Various gigs have been planned for the neo-Nazi sound assault.
