As I’ve written many times over the years, Australia Day has devolved into the Annual Lefty Day of Hate. Unfortunately, now the haters on the right have joined them. What, for most Australians, is a day of unity and celebration is being hijacked yet again by a vocal minority of extremists, right and left.
And the ‘March for Freedom’ protests are outing themselves more and more as a sinister Ouija board for neo-Nazis.
In August last year, during the first March for Australia, neo-Nazis very much set the tone. The National Socialist Network, in uniform, drummed the rally through the streets; their leader made a speech at a podium they had supplied.
Once might generously be attributed to naivete on behalf of organisers. But after multiple repeats, and this time on our national holiday, there can be no such excuses.
This time the Nazis – without the presence of leader Thomas Sewell – were more low-key. They did not come in their trademark black spray jackets and caps, and they did not march in a bloc.
But make no mistake: they were certainly there. In numbers.
And they were shouting their hate for all to hear.
A man used an “open mic” session at the March for Australia rally in Moore Park to declare that “Jews are the greatest enemy to this nation”. He lashed Jewish lobby groups for being “behind” Australia’s hate-speech laws and went on to praise white nationalist figures. He also alleged that “for thousands of years Christians and Anglos, the white man, has known that the Jew is our greatest enemy”.
“The Jews are the greatest enemy to this nation, they always have been, they are an enemy to Western civilisation,” he said.
This is not ‘free speech’. This is, especially in the febrile atmosphere of the past two years, culminating in the mass murder terror attack at Bondi just six weeks ago, is a classic case of incitement. For once, NSW Police acted swiftly and appropriately.
The man was arrested shortly afterwards while walking through Surry Hills. Police said he was likely to be charged under Section 93Z of the NSW Crimes Act, which relates to intentionally or recklessly threatening or inciting violence towards a group of people on the basis of religion.
Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden said police alleged the remarks “breached, well and truly, the line of free speech to incite hatred towards another group in the community”.
If only they’d acted with such alacrity the night a Muslim mob stormed the Sydney Opera House, and, in the dark two years that followed, we might not be caught in the maelstrom of anti-Semitic violence we’re in.
Allowing neo-Nazis to hijack legitimate protests against mass immigration is not just a moral abomination on behalf of the right – it’s tactical idiocy. In Germany and Canada, it’s a matter of record that government agencies infiltrated neo-Nazis into anti-immigrant groups in order to discredit anyone criticising immigration policy. Apparently the ‘freedom’ gronks are all-too-willing to do the government’s job for them.
These idiots aren’t even useful.
All they do, too, is provide the legacy a useful distraction from the equal-and-opposite moronic hatred of the left.
In Perth police swarmed an Invasion Day rally after a man threw a suspected explosive device.
WA Premier Roger Cook said authorities were treating the incident – which forced the evacuation of about 2000 people from Forrest Place in the Perth CBD – as a potential mass casualty event.
WA Police Commissioner Col Blanch said the “very rudimentary” device contained ball bearings and screws wrapped around an as-yet-unknown liquid.
The device did not detonate and there were no injuries. Police later raided the house of a 31-year-old man, who was taken into custody. Police believe he was acting alone.
It remains to be seen whether this was another neo-Nazi dickhead, or another dickhead following the playbook of Sepehr Saryazdi, the Muslim who appeared in court just days ago, charged with planning a similar bomb attack on Australia Day. Saryazdi was arrested after posting his plans to a large Facebook private group.
Elsewhere, the left were up to their standard hate-antics.
A controversial protest act has prompted furore after two men set the Australian flag on fire at a Brisbane “Invasion Day” demonstration […]
The man burning the flag has been identified as indigenous elder Moojidji.
Anti-Semitism was also in full flight at the left marches.
“Globalise the intifada”, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “There is only one solution, intifada, revolution” were chanted by patches of the crowd marching beside Sydney’s Hyde Park, alongside a chorus of “Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land” and “What do we want? Land back. When do we want it? Now.”
The omnicause useful idiots in full voice. If only they’d just cancel each other out.
