In reality, the site was closed twice: first by ISP <strong>DreamHost<\/strong>, then another; first in <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=286\">July<\/a>, then again in <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=341\">August<\/a>. Needless to say &#8212; well, unless you&#8217;re a well-paid &#8216;expert&#8217; on &#8216;race relations&#8217;, of course &#8212; it&#8217;s back up, on another server. Further, like Redwatch Poland, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=326\">Redwatch UK<\/a><\/strong> continues on its merry way, as does <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=446\">Redwatch New Zealand<\/a><\/strong>. Both authorities in the UK (2004; June 2006) and <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=352\">New Zealand \/ Aotearoa<\/a> (August 2006) have declared their intention to &#8216;investigate&#8217; the websites in question.<\/p>\n<p>Not unexpectedly, both have been found to be full of piss-and-wind; just like the neo-Nazis, really&#8230; and notwithstanding the fact that, for example, on Redwatch New Zealand, bonehead <em>Nic Miller<\/em> even stooped so low as to post the address and photo of the home of a Holocaust survivor (among many others, especially Jews and\/or antifa); with the full and knowing co-operation of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=440\">Google<\/a><\/strong>, natch.<\/p>\n<p>According to the BBC report:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[Redwatch Poland] published details [photographs, names, addresses, descriptions, occupations] of people on its hate list &#8212; such as left-wing activists, homosexuals and members of ethnic minorities&#8230; [and] was [<em>sic<\/em>] operated by the Polish wing of <strong>Blood and Honour<\/strong>, an international group which <a href=\"http:\/\/antifa.libcom.org.uk\/theopposition.html\">originated in the UK<\/a>. The site used a US-based server.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In Australia, convicted neo-Nazi criminal <em>Ben Weerheym<\/em> &#8212; whose most recent foray into the exciting world of fascist activism has been <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=494\">&#8216;The Great Australian Bikini March&#8217;<\/a> &#8212; was threatened with prosecution under useless &#8216;Racial Vilification&#8217; legislation by WA authorities in <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=163\">March, 2006<\/a>. But no: instead, WA authorities decided to test the untried law &#8212; introduced following, and in explicit reference to, the racist campaign by Weerheym&#8217;s former leader <em>Jack van Tongeren<\/em> and his neo-Nazi <strong>Australian Nationalists Movement<\/strong> &#8212; by prosecuting <em>an Aboriginal teenager<\/em>&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=393\">unsuccessfully<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also in Australia, <strong>Blood &#038; Honour Australia<\/strong>, in conjunction with another bonehead gang, the <strong>Southern Cross Hammerskins<\/strong>, held a gig in September at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=456\">The Birmingham Hotel<\/a><\/strong> in Fitzroy (Cnr.

On the night of the gig, a local woman was accosted by seven boneheads, who insisted on her calling herself a &#8216;black cunt&#8217; before allowing her to leave their charming &#8212; and incredibly brave &#8212; company. In the meantime, <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=420\">scabs<\/a> continue to drink and play at the fascist venue (although it should be noted that some have complained of harassment &#8212; sadly, Fitzroy can be a hazardous area at times, especially if one frequents The Birmy).<\/p>\n<p>As for Poland, the authorities were only compelled to act following    the stabbing by boneheads of a Jewish anarchist profiled on the site, and, further &#8212; and crucially &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=228\">an assault upon Poland&#8217;s Chief Rabbi<\/a>, <em>Michael Schudrich<\/em>. Of course, in <strong>Russia<\/strong>, boneheads and other scum are able to operate with impunity, and with the full blessing of <em>Vladimir Putin<\/em>&#8216;s corrupt regime. Thus, a report by a human rights group in September stated that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So far this year, [<em>at least<\/em>] 33 people have died and about 300 have been injured as a result of racially motivated attacks, as opposed to last year\u2019s total of 35 people killed and 393 injured&#8230; This year\u2019s racially motivated attacks, mostly carried out by [boneheads], have been reported in 32 out [of] Russia\u2019s 89 regions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avtonom.org\/index.php?sid=5\">antifa opposition in Russia<\/a> &#8212; as elsewhere, spearheaded by <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=309\">anarchists<\/a> &#8212; are also subjected to violent assault and murder.
