(Saleam was replaced by Michael (De) Brander &#8212; Brander has a conviction for assault, lost a case brought against a journalist for calling him a racist, and has been published by <em>Quadrant<\/em> magazine.) Two of Herr Doktor&#8217;s most amusing recent expeditions into political activism have been his interview with the neo-Nazi <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=5000\">Carl D. Thompson<\/a> on Carl&#8217;s (US-based) &#8216;National Socialist Movement&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=4955\">radio show<\/a> and his declaration that the police murder of Northcote teenager <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=6745\">Tyler Cassidy<\/a> in December 2008 was the result of a <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=1576\">political conspiracy<\/a>, in keeping with his delusion that I and others colluded with the police to have Cassidy shot; attention to which fact would be drawn by AF participating in a protest at the Coroner&#8217;s inquest.<\/p>\n<p>Other AF members of note include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prospect.sa.gov.au\/site\/page.cfm?u=981\">Cr Bruce Preece<\/a>; Peregrine John Beverley ex-Confederate Action Party Jewell and Peter Schuback (vice-president of the Australian Long Distance Owners and Drivers Association) &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=1744\">both<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=1776\">losing<\/a> candidates in the last Queensland state election; (<a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=1337\">in NSW<\/a>) Tony Pettitt, Terry Cooksley, George Atkinson, Darrell Wallbridge, Greg Bailey, Richard Hedditch, Kevin Baldwin, <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=1066\">Nathan Clarke<\/a>, Ian McBryde and Jim Smith; and Jim Perren, a neo-Nazi from rural Queensland whose blog, Whitelaw Towers, is regularly used to excoriate The Jew, Aborigines, The Jew, the Australian Protectionist Party (<a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=855\">splitters!<\/a>), The Jew, Communists, The Jew, homosexuals and Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>And The Jew.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newint.org\/features\/2004\/10\/01\/zogpic.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Place<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Forum was last held in 2007, at the Eastwood RSL and at Jim&#8217;s Bunker in Tempe. Odd that the RSL, an organisation some of whose members fought the Nazis, if I remember correctly, should provide a venue for AF, but presumably money is more important than &#8216;politics&#8217; as far as Eastwood RSL is concerned. Note also that Jim&#8217;s Bunker was the site of a murder in 1991, when Wayne \u2018Bovver\u2019 Smith (25) was shot eight times with a sawn-off .22 rifle by fellow NA member Perry Whitehouse. When Whitehouse blew him away, Bovver was wearing a singlet bearing the message: Say No To The New Gun Control Laws.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eesti.org.au\/estonian-houses\/\">Estonian House Co-operative Society<\/a> was extremely proud to boast of its support for a fascist forum; in 2005, the Russian Club (in Strathfield) wisely decided, and to its credit, that it did not want to be associated with the promotion of anti-Semitism, racism, and fascism, and canceled the Forum&#8217;s booking, forcing organisers to re-locate the party to Jim&#8217;s Bunker.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, the venue for the Forum is a heap &#8217;em big secret.<\/p>\n<p>This is to confuse and to upset \u05d4\u05de\u05d5\u05e1\u05d3 \u05dc\u05de\u05d5\u05d3\u05d9\u05e2\u05d9\u05df \u05d5\u05dc\u05ea\u05e4\u05e7\u05d9\u05d3\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05d9\u05d5\u05d7\u05d3\u05d9\u05dd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Master of Race Ceremonies at the 2009 Forum &#8212; as he has been at every Forum since its inception in 2001 &#8212; will be German-born neo-Nazi Welf Herfurth.

Those photos depict the arrival at the camp of a transport of Hungarian Jews, who at the time made up the last remaining sizable Jewish community in Europe.
