In the UK, several police officers belonging to the National Public Order Intelligence Unit<\/a> have recently been exposed<\/a> after infiltrating environmental protest movements. In Australia:<\/p>\n A former police officer who worked in the phone intercept unit has been charged after he allegedly attempted to warn a man that he was under surveillance as part of a secret investigation into the Perth branch of international neo-nazi outfit Combat 18.<\/p>\n Robert David Critchley, 42, appeared in Perth Magistrate\u2019s Court yesterday charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and unlawful use of a police computer.<\/p>\n Police alleged he tied to tell Jacob Marshall Hort that his mobile phone was being monitored.<\/p>\n Hort, of High Wycombe, is reportedly part of the Perth branch of race-hate group Combat 18, which is known for being behind the bombings of Asian communities in London in the 1990s [?<\/a>].<\/p>\n Hort was convicted in July of criminal damage and discharging a firearm over an incident in which several shots were fired at the Queens Park Suleymaniye Mosque, causing $15,000 damage.<\/p>\n Mr Critchley, of Ocean Reef, was attached to the State intelligence division in January last year when it is alleged he made attempts to tell Hort he was the target of a police investigation into Combat 18\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n It is also alleged that between May 2009 and January 2010 he accessed details of a person through a police computer when he was not permitted to do so.<\/p>\n The two charges are unrelated.<\/p>\n Mr Critchley resigned from the police service in September after Police Minister Rob Johnson approved a recommendation from Police Commissioner Karl O\u2019Callaghan that he be removed.<\/p>\n Mr Critchley previously worked as a police officer in Britain and served as a WA police officer for six years.<\/p>\n He was not required to plead yesterday and has been released on bail to appear in court in April.<\/p>\n Mr Critchley broke into a sprint to avoid waiting media when he left the court.<\/p>\n Combat 18<\/a> was formed in Britain in 1991 [?] and has links to the far-right British Nationalist Party [?]. It is not known when the group started in Perth but it is believed police began monitoring members\u2019 activities in late 2009.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Source<\/strong>: The Weekend West<\/em>, January 15, 2011.

(The site was regoed to Hort using a pseudo.) Despite sharing–along with Perf plasterer and former Stormfront moderator Paul Innes–in the indescribable joys of spreading some of the ashes of US nutzi terrorist David Lane<\/a> in 2009, things started to go badly for Jacob & Co. when the gig organised for April of that year (by former Skrewdriver bassist-turned-fridge-repair-guy Murray Holmes) was sabotaged and Hort’s band, ‘Indigenous Hate’, got thrown off the bill “for being lying scum”. Relations between Combat 18 and fellow nutzis in Blood & Honour (Australia)\/(Southern Cross) Hammerskins have been rocky at the best of times, but since the abortive gig, and the developing bond between (the remnants of) Combat 18 and (the Australian franchise of) another (US-based) bonehead gang called Volksfront<\/a>, things have gotten even more poisonous.<\/p>\n Police in Perf have reason to be especially sensitive to neo-Nazi organising in that part of the world as the last time a groupuscule got going it caused quite a bit of trouble. In the 1980s, the ‘Australian Nationalists Movement’<\/a> under ‘Java’ Jack van Tongeren tried to kick-start a race war by blowing shit up and setting buildings on fire. Things didn’t quite go according to The Master Race’s plan however, as an alleged police informant was murdered, and the gang’s leadership was sent to jail.<\/p>\n Upon his release a few years ago, Jack tried, with the help of some rooly<\/em> patriotik yoof, to embark upon a Senatorial campaign. The yoof in this instance rallied to the cause by re-decorating synagogues and old people’s homes and threatening to kill and otherwise injure their political opponents. Again, the story ended badly. Jumping Jack, along with several members of the ‘White Devils’<\/a> gang went (back) to jail<\/a>, and ZOG finally done introduced racial vilification legislation.<\/p>\n This law is currently being used to prosecute a local anti-Semite named Brendon O’Connell<\/a>. If successful, it will be the first time a person has been convicted under the relevant Act<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Courtesy of nutzi bloggers Jim Perren and Peter Campbell, word on the virtual street is that the latest pea-brain(s) to have a crack at neo-Nazi organising are clustered around UWA student Nicholas Cole<\/a>, a young middle class boy also known to be BFF with members of Combat 18.<\/p>\n See also<\/em> : Bradley Trappitt, Combat 18 & The Weerheym Manoeuvre<\/a> (August 24, 2010) | A Brief History Of Neo-Nazi Music In Australia<\/a> (December 2, 2010).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5201\/5369800692_ddc9d140d9.jpg\")
