BNP Organisers Come Clean Over EDL Involvement

As British authorities are accused of turning a blind eye to fascist racial incitement and street violence, there is damning evidence BNP organisers are, as suspected, using the EDL to do the BNP's dirty work by plotting race riots in multicultural areas.

NATO'S Fire Sale - One Dead Afghan Child, $2,000

On January 11, 2010, we sent out a media alert titled, ‘Were Afghan children executed by US-led forces? And why aren't the media interested?’

http://www.medialens.org/alerts/10/100111_were_afghan_children.php

The alert concerned credible reports that American-led troops had dragged Afghan children from their beds and shot them during a night raid in Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan on December 27 last year. Ten people were killed, including eight schoolboys from one family. We noted that the alleged atrocity had been almost wholly ignored by the corporate media, including the BBC.

Holocaust Museum For Persecuted Heretics?

Mike Mitch | 13-03-2010 21:48 | Culture | Terror War | Sheffield

Verily, if the origin of the word ‘holocaust’ meant ‘whole’ + ‘burning’ then surely the history of the persecution and killing of pagans and various heretical sects would qualify to this nomenclature? After all, how many supposed witches, were tortured and/or burned over the centuries? How many believers in the ‘wrong’ religions or denominations, according to those fanatics who thought themselves within ‘thee’ singularly right religion, were persecuted and murdered? We don’t know any kind of exact number but it is a frightening reality to behold nevertheless.

AMAZING: Hardcore Nazis Invited To Attend EDL Rallies

Truth Seeker | 10-03-2010 04:29 | Anti-racism | Repression | Sheffield

Liam Pinkham posting on the hardline national socialist chat site VNN, has just posted an insight into why the himself and Hitler-loving cohort Wigan Mike are always seen on EDL marches. His allegations are fatally damaging to the repeated "we are not neo-nazis" propaganda that Trevor Kelway and friends post regularly throughout the internet.

There's far more to it than that in an expose which if true, threatens to cast doubts on the continual rantings of EDL internet trolls that they are not nazis.

EDL Yobs Urinate On Westminster Abbey

Armitage Skanks | 09-03-2010 00:17 | Anti-racism | Repression | Sheffield

If desecrating Nottingham Castle was not enough, on Friday the 5th of March, whilst in London to pay homage to their far right extremist prophet Geert Wilders, the "patriotic crusaders of England's cultural heritage" paid their ultimate respect to one of England's most historic sacred Christian sites, deluging Westminster Abbey with gallons of filthy urine.

EDL splinter group plans "event" in Bradford on St Georges Day

Michael-Andrew Hussain | 02-03-2010 17:37 | Anti-racism | Sheffield

An EDL splinter group called “Firms Unite” is reportedly planning a “social gathering” in Bradford on St Georges Day. Evidences shows that at least some of the members of this currently five hundred strong group have intentions to create racial disorder in the city in a similar fashion to how the National Front caused rioting in the city in 2001. Although the group claims to be independent to the EDL,.
