A witch-hunt is an attempt to find and punish a particular group of people who are being blamed for something, often simply, because of their opinions and not because they have actually done anything wrong. – Collins English Dictionary
Since it was discovered that Christchurch mosque shooter Tarrant gave a small donation to Martin Sellner of Generation Identity in Austria over a year ago, and consequently a couple of e-mails were exchanged in acknowledgement, a witch-hunt has been launched against the ‘Far Right’ in a cynical use of the Muslim deaths.
In particular Martin Sellner has been targeted because of his articulate and professional manner. It is claimed that Sellner is of such influence that his (GI’s) campaign against the United Nations Compact on Migration was responsible for several states not signing the compact as the result of what is called ‘fake news’ and ‘lies’ about the compact being ‘binding’.
In New Zealand a journalist, Patrick Gower, has become fixated with Sellner. Gower, if remembered at all, will be so probably because of the fool he made of himself in his ‘interview’ with Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux,[1] when they arrived for a speaking engagement that was cancelled due to extreme Left threats.
While the media remains mute on the long history of violence from the Left against the Right; Mr Gower et al, with the assistance of supposed ‘experts’ such as sociologist Dr Paul Spoonley, have sought to show that there New Zealand has long been ‘terrorised’ by the Right which, despite the media’s and police’s endeavours, remains elusive. The only examples given during the course of a T.V. series promising to expose a long running campaign of violence by the ‘Right’, were the psychotic antics of a gang called the Fourth Reich, which supposedly ‘terrorised’ Nelson and the West Coast of the South Island. According to an ‘expert’, the Fourth Reich, ‘were responsible for the murders of young Māori man Hemi Hutley, gay man James “Janis” Bamborough, Korean tourist Jae Hyeon Kim and Christchurch woman Vanessa Pickering’.[2]
Mr Gower’s ‘experts’ failed to explain that the Fourth Reich gang was comprised of those of Chinese, Maori, and Pacific island descent. Whether there was a token White in the membership is unknown. Nonetheless, with a name like Fourth Reich, that must have been motivated by Rightist ideology, like the Maori street gangs that have worn the swastika. According to Mr Gower and his experts, there is some type of historical and ideological continuity between the Fourth Reich, Tarrant, local critics of the U.N. compact on migration, and Sellner. Mr Gower and other journalists, and their experts, have failed to come up with anything that justifies the hysteria that they and the Government have tried to generate amidst gun confiscations, demands for ‘hate speech’ laws, the sacking of a Dominion Movement member from his job, and a police ‘black list’ that was leaked to the media and then leaked to a psycho-Left ‘anti-racist’ grouplet, which has the endorsement of Mr Gower for publicly targeting dissidents.
Since Mr Gower’s fiasco in trying to take on Southern and Molyneux he seems to have been trying to redeem himself. A T.V. ‘Newshub’ series called ‘Because it matters’,[3] fronted by Mr Gower, has been trying to show that Mr Sellner’s influence is ‘pervasive’ (sic) in New Zealand politics, and that it is ‘Identitarian’ ideology largely emanating from Mr Sellner that prompted the Tarrant shootings. The only ‘dangerous’ ‘white supremacist’ that Mr Gower and his crew have been able to uncover is Mr Phil Arps, jailed for having shared Trarrant’s video footage. He has been shown to have been present at an anti-U.N. rally in Christchurch, where he called out that New Zealand First Party leader and deputy prime minister, Winston Peters, should be executed for ‘treason’.[4]
Other than this were typically childish internet threats against Green Member of Parliament Golriz Ghahraman. She drew some ire because of her advocating the introduction of ‘hate speech’ laws. Her support for ‘identity politics’ is based on uniting non-whites against ‘white ‘privilege’.[5] The threats allowed Ms. Ghahraman to posture for a few days, and receive a police escort since her life was supposedly at stake.[6] Ms Ghahraman was also conspicuous for her participation in a violent effort to stop the New Zealand National Front’s annual (and only) activity in October 2017, at its ‘Flag day’ rally, which was blocked by an alliance of anarchists and communists with Ms. Ghahraman to the fore.[7] Violent confrontation is acceptable to her, unless there is a reaction. Now it is Mr. Peter’s turn to act the drama queen for a few moments of publicity aboard the anti-Right bandwagon.
So when Mr Gower’s attempt to redeem himself after the Southern/Molynexu fiasco with a T.V. series on ‘white supremacist’ terrorism in New Zealand, also flopped, generating mostly mirth and derision from viewers, he tried with a third attempt, this time to show how European ‘Identitarianism’, and particularly Mr. Sellner, have become ‘pervasive’ (sic) in New Zealand. Mr Sellner and the long arm of the Austro-Nazi international conspiracy have reached the halls of power, the proof being the rejection by the National Party of the United Nations migration compact. Mr Peters, who has made his political career out of demanding immigration restrictions and hyping a supposed ‘Muslim threat’, now that he and his colleagues are partnered with the lunatic Left Labour Government, called on National Opposition leader Simon Bridges to resign because of his supposedly being influenced by the ‘Austrian neo-Nazis’ (sic).[8]
Identitarianism and U.N. Global Compact
According to Messrs Peters and Gower, Mr. Sellner launched a worldwide campaign against the U.N. Migration Compact which through ‘lies’ about it being ‘binding’ on signatory states, succeeded in dissuading some states from signing. Notably absent in this scenario is any mention of Israel refusing to sign, on the very basis that it would undermine their sovereignty.[9] Is it because it would be difficult to portray Israel as being influenced by ‘Austrian Neo-Nazis’ rather than simply following its own historic path of Judaeo-centricity, which might be construed as ‘Jewish Nazism’? Indeed, while the Liberals, Leftists and their oligarchic string-pullers squawk about ‘Austrian neo-Nazis’, the actual source of Islamophobia – influential and well-funded pro-Israel neocon think tanks – have remained unmentioned amidst the hysteria. The pro-Israel attitudes of certain of the supposed ‘Far Right’ in New Zealand also remain unmentioned. [10]
My own knowledge of the U.N. Migration Compact was sparked by frequent comments made by radio talkback host Bruce Russell, a news commentator altogether more thoughtful than the obsessive Mr. Gower, et al. Even then, it took me some weeks to look at whether Mr Russell’s warnings about the compact were accurate, and I had heard nothing of any resistance to it from any ‘Far Right’ in New Zealand. I read and analysed the Compact, and wrote an article about it for Arktos Journal.[11] I am still unaware of the details of Mr. Sellner’s campaign against it, and I have not been able to find any extensive analysis on it from any supposedly Right-wing organisation in New Zealand. My opinions on it in the Arktos Journal article are entirely my own research, and if one reads the Compact for oneself, it is indeed far-ranging and intrusive, as I believe I show in the article. But Messrs Gower, Peters and sundry media allege that the Compact was derailed by a well-oiled campaign by Mr Sellner and the Austrian ‘Nazis’, whose ‘lies’ have fooled even governments. As I state in the Arktos Journal article:
That the Migration Compact is based around other U.N. ‘covenants’ that have become ‘international law’, with U.N. sanctions against those states deemed offenders, is indicated within the Compact ‘preamble’ itself. As with other U.N. declarations and covenants, much of the Migration Compact outlines the monitoring of compliance of signatory states. Sections entitled ‘follow-up’ and ‘implementation’ are devoted to this, with the International Organization for Migration as the U.N. policing agency.[12]
The ‘Great Replacement’ & ‘Replacement Migration’
There has been much histrionics on the Rightist, Identitarian campaigns against the ‘Great Replacement’. Again, because the phrase was used by Tarrant, the term has reached a notoriety implying genocide. The Rightist claim that Europeans are being replaced in their own homelands by alien migrants and refugees is lambasted as a ‘lie’, and in the words of the ever-dubious Wikipedia as a ‘nationalist right wing conspiracy theory’. Again, Mr Sellner is blamed for spreading the theory across the world.[13]
Yet from at least 2001 the United Nations started referring to ‘Replacement Migration’. The theory laid the foundation for the U.N. Migration Compact. The U.N. document Replacement Migration, Is It a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations?, statistically examines the demographic trends of ‘developed’ states, USA, Europe, E.U., Russia, Japan, and Korea. The issue is that of aging population due to low fertility and the increasing duration of life expectancy. Hence, a looming economic crisis with the demographic imbalance. The solution is to replenish the labour market with migrants, by population transfers from the developing to the developed states. The preamble to the document states:
United Nations projections indicate that over the next 50 years, the populations of virtually all countries of Europe as well as Japan will face population decline and population ageing. The new challenges of declining and ageing populations will require comprehensive reassessments of many established policies and programmes, including those relating to international migration.
Focusing on these two striking and critical population trends, the report considers replacement migration for eight low-fertility countries (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and United States) and two regions (Europe and the European Union). Replacement migration refers to the international migration that a country would need to offset population decline and population ageing resulting from low fertility and mortality rates.[14]
The Right uses the term the ‘Great Replacement’, the U.N. ‘Replacement Migration’; either way, the references are to the ‘replacement’ mainly of European indigenes by drawing on the burgeoning ‘third world’ population. Is that, or is it not, precisely the aim of the U.N. migration compact? If not; how not? If so, how has Mr Sellner, et al ‘lied’ and ‘misrepresented’ the issue? The U.N. document concludes:
Finally, the new challenges being brought about by declining and ageing populations will require objective, thorough and comprehensive reassessments of many established economic, social and political policies and programmes. Such reassessments will need to incorporate a long-term perspective. Critical issues to be addressed in those reassessments would include (a) appropriate ages for retirement; (b) levels, types and nature of retirement and health-care benefits for the elderly; (c) labour-force participation; (d) assessed amounts of contributions from workers and employers needed to support retirement and healthcare benefits for the increasing elderly population; and (e) policies and programmes relating to international migration, in particular replacement migration, and the integration of large numbers of recent migrants and their descendants. In this context, it should be noted that immigrants to one country are emigrants from another country. As such, international migration must be seen as part of the larger globalization process taking place throughout the world, influencing the economic, political and cultural character of both sending and receiving countries. While orderly international migration can provide countries of origin with remittances and facilitate the transfer of skills and technology, it also may entail the loss of needed human resources. Similarly, international migration can provide countries of destination with needed human resources and talent, but may also give rise to social tensions. Effective international migration policies must therefore take into account the impact on both the host society and countries of origin.[15]
The concluding sentences refer to:
- The integration of large numbers of recent migrants and their descendants.
- International migration … as part of the larger globalization process taking place throughout the world, influencing the economic, political and cultural character of both sending and receiving countries.
- International migration [that] may give rise to social tensions.
These are all factors posed by the Right, yet raised first in 2001 by the U.N. The problems of ‘orderly international migration’ discussed in the 2001 document are all addressed in the U.N. migration compact. Where are Mr Sellner et al ‘lying’ in these matters?
The U.N. document refers to problems that have supposedly hitherto been unknown to history. Nonsense. It is more a matter that the U.N. ‘experts’, NGOs, Leftists, academics, journalists, and their oligarchic string-pullers do not know history. They do not have a sense of the historical. They see only ‘human progress’ like a tapeworm creeping along towards some utopian ‘end of history’. Rather, the demographic crisis in the West has been seen in prior civilisations, and the desperate answer was the same: to fill the population void with migrants. It is in this that we might discern the end of civilisations, not their embarking on a bright new future.
Polynius (born ca. 200BC) said of the Greeks:
In our time all Greece was visited by a dearth of children and generally a decay of population … and a failure of productiveness results. … For this evil grew upon us rapidly, and without attracting attention, by our men becoming perverted to passion of show and money and the pleasures of an idle life, and accordingly, not marrying at all, or, if they did marry, refusing to rear the children that were born, or at most one or two of a great number, for the sake of leaving them all well off or bringing them up in extravagant luxury. …
The Greek elite become effete, and indeed were regarded as being ‘feminised’ by the influences of an already decadent Persian civilisation. The answer of Alexander was to expand the empire and integrate Persian corruption – ‘cultural enrichment’ and ‘diversity’, as it is now called – with the aim of forming a new world order.[16] Of Rome, Augustus recognised the demographic catastrophe caused by the corruption of traditional Roman virtues, asking, ‘How can the commonwealth be preserved if we neither marry nor produce children?’ He referred to the city being given up to foreigners, and to liberating slaves, ‘chiefly for the purpose of making out of them as many citizens as possible…’[17] Tacitus remarked that despite state efforts, ‘childlessness prevailed’. [18] At the beginning of the second century Pliny the Younger wrote that his was ‘an age when even one child is thought a burden preventing the rewards of childlessness’. Hierocles remarked that most people seemed to regard siring children as interfering with their lifestyles. Prostitution became so widespread it became a substitute for marriage. Homosexuality and bi-sexuality had become common,[19] as did abortion. Many women became infertile. Birth control methods were widely used.[20] The cities were ‘populated by strangers’.[21] How modern all this sounds. Of Western civilisation Spengler wrote that ‘the destiny of being the last of the line is no longer felt as doom’.[22]
There are causes for this demographic crisis that are not in the interests of the globalists to raise. They include the social pathologies that they have spent decades promoting and financing, such as feminism, abortion, birth control, hedonism, and now a mania for a ‘sliding scale of gender’. This ‘progress’ has been seen before in the decaying epochs of prior civilisations millennia ago. Much of this was supposed to create a global ‘inclusive economy’, as the corporations and NGOs call it. For decades the globalists have sought to fully integrate women into the work force by ‘liberation’ from the ‘burden’ of motherhood. Now there is a demographic crisis, and the globalist answer is ‘replacement migration’, as per Rome and Greece.
Institute for Strategic Dialogue
A primary question to be asked is the whence of the media’s information on the Identitarian ‘Far Right’? It is the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD). Here we reach ‘conspiracy theory’, although Dr Richard B. Spence, senior historian at Idaho State University, an altogether brighter chap than most academics, draws a distinction between ‘conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact’.[23] Indeed, following the ‘Far Right’ and ‘white supremacist’ websites, according to the ISD, ‘conspiracy theory’ websites were most responsible for spreading Mr Sellner’s so-called ‘lies’ on the U.N. migration compact. It is not plausible, we are assured, that conspiracies among oligarchs exist, in contrast to an ‘international Austro-Nazi conspiracy’, which is so pervasive, well-placed and funded as to be determining the policies of a major political parties and governments.
Mr Gower cites the ISD as his source on the ‘Far Right’:
An investigation by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, which monitors extremism online, found: ‘Far-right and right-wing populist influencers… began spreading large-scale distorted interpretations and misinformation about the UN migration pact’.[24]
Who is going to investigate the character of the Institute for Strategic Dialogue? According to Mr Gower it is some type of definitive authority ‘monitoring’ ‘extremism online’, and almost sounds official, like a branch of Interpol or whatnot. The ISD has embarked on an international smear campaign against Generation Identity and Mr Sellner. It is pertinent to ask whether this has been undertaken precisely because Mr Sellner and GI have upset the proverbial applecart in regard to the U.N. Migration Compact; a cause that happens to be a part of the ISD agenda?
Among the major smears against GI and Mr Sellner, the Freidrich-Ebert-Stiftung features an interview with Jakob Guhl, ‘Project Associate at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), where he mainly works with the Online Civil Courage Initiative, a project that aims to improve and promote civil society reactions to hate speech and extremism on the Internet’. Guhl claims in regard to the U.N. Migration Compact that,
While the agreement was barely talked about on social media until mid-September, far-right and right-wing populist influencers ‘discovered’ the issue in mid-September and began spreading large-scale distorted interpretations and disinformation about the UN migration pact. … and far-right representatives such Martin Sellner played a big role in shaping the discussion about the migration pact online. His ‘Stop Migration Pact’ petition was the most shared URL link in our dataset until the end of October.[25]
Guhl complains that there was insufficient information about the Compact, until the ‘far Right’ discovered it. That the U.N. was negligent in providing information on the Compact is surely an indictment on that body, not on the ‘far Right’, which sought to address the information void. Indeed, it was the ‘far Right’ that seems to have helped publicise the very scant information that the U.N. did provide, which enabled one to make an informed judgement based on the presentation of both sides, which clearly the U.N. and its allies were unwilling to do.
‘The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) is the oldest political foundation in Germany with a rich tradition in social democracy dating back to its foundation in 1925. The foundation owes its formation and its mission to the political legacy of its namesake Friedrich Ebert, the first democratically elected German President’.[26] There is nothing new about a Leftist outfit taking its party-line from a plutocratic think tank such as the ISD. Indeed, in good Social Democratic fashion, the Ebert Foundation promotes NATO, trans-Atlantic free trade, and generally how to keep Germany subservient to the USA.
A report at Politico covers similar ground.[27] A report in the New Zealand Herald states that ‘European investigators are digging deeper into possible links between far-right ideologues and the suspected Christchurch mosque gunman, who sent at least two donations to an anti-Muslim group with branches around Europe … “One of the dangers of this ideology is that it creates an imminent threat from the outside: a coming war if we don’t do anything about it,” said Austrian right-wing extremism researcher Julia Ebner, with the London-based Institute for Strategic Dialogue. “A violent escalation is part of their ideology.”’[28] What nonsensical scare-mongering, posing as ‘expertise’. As GI shows in a detailed response to media smears and Establishment repression, there is no violent intent.[29] As the Tarrant episode shows, any such notions can only serve the globalists.
A report in The Washington Post includes the widespread theme that there were ‘extensive’ links between Mr. Sellner and Tarrant, citing Jacob Davey, ‘the author of a forthcoming Institute for Strategic Dialogue paper on the subject’;[30] meaning, there were three brief emails in regard to Trarrant’s little donation. Post columnist Anne Applebaum, introducing a Judaeo-centric dimension added:
The obsession with the Jewish financier George Soros, a feature of far-right propaganda everywhere from Hungary to Alabama, is linked to this set of ideas. And when President Trump or Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini talk about immigrant ‘invasions,’ they are nodding and winking to Identitarianism, too.[31]
An ‘anti-Semitic’ conspiracy theory can never be too far away for such commentators: reductio ad Judaeum. But since Ms. Applebaum has mentioned Soros, let us take a look behind the ISD, and if we find Soros lurking are we supposed to overlook the fact lest it indicates an ‘obsession’?
The ‘partners and funders’ of the ISD are high-powered globalist corporations.[32] They include: Facebook, Google, Twitter, Jigsaw, M & C Saatchi, Microsoft, Love Frankie, Asia Foundation, Carnegie Corporation NY, Eranda Rothschild Foundation (the famous banking dynasty), Gen Next, Open Society Foundations (yes, Soros), Robert Bosch Foundation, Vodafone Foundation.
Love Frankie is a Saatchie-sponsored ‘social change’ project in Asia. Among those who ‘Love Frankie’ are the U.S. State Department, USAID, World Bank Group, Facebook, Google, sundry U.N. agencies, et al.[33]
Other partners of the ISD include the U.S. State Department, International Republican Institute, Brookings Institution, Chatham House, the London School of Economics ‘Arena’ project that targets anti-globalists; Royal United Services Institute , etc.
The ISD is a globalist institution founded to smear and hence agitate for the suppression of opposition to globalisation. The character of its sponsors makes this clear enough. They exist to target anti-globalisation as ‘fascistic’. That is their terminology:
We believe it is the task of every generation to challenge such divisive, fascistic movements and to invest in the ongoing edification of open, democratic, and free civic culture, without which there can be no lasting protection of the rights of others, no cohesion and no lasting peace’.[34]
Of its programmes it states that ISD had ‘advised 40 governments’, reached 120 ‘strong cities network members’, indoctrinated with their globalism 80,000 youth in ‘education programmes’, presided over 75 reports and policy briefings, and ‘trained over 32,000 activists’. [35] ‘Activists’ is usually a euphemism for psychotics of the Antifa variety. Is this what ISD is referring to?
Based on our far-right analysis and research we briefed and advised a range of national and regional policy makers, ministries and security and intelligence agencies on the latest trends in online and offline extremism. Our research and analysis featured across major international and national news outlets and informs our engagement with tech firms and civil society.[36]
This is where the governments and media are getting their smear briefings from, and it should be noted, ‘security and intelligence agencies’, which might explain the nonsensical character of the police witch-hunt for elusive ‘far Rightists’ in New Zealand, and the half-witted questions police pose.
Among ISD ‘partners’ we find sundry organisations that have been involved in ‘regime change’ and ‘colour revolutions’, on behalf of the U.S. Government and/or international plutocracy. The International Republican Institute was established to promote the USA’s version of democracy and culture-pathology worldwide. Its aim is U.S. global hegemony. IRI funders include USAID, The Bush Institute, Freedom House, National Democratic Institute, Solidarity Center of the AFL-CIO, Australian, Canadian and British governments, and many others.[37] IRI overtly states that it influences the formation and policies of political parties around the world.[38] It encourages ‘civil society organizations’;[39]that is, it establishes subversive organisations in states marked by the USA for ‘regime change’ of the type that were expelled from Russia and Hungary. It uses ‘the digital revolution’[40] that has been a major factor in facilitating ‘colour revolutions’ across the world. While IRI boasts of its global interference in the internal affairs of states, they have the audacity to moralise via their ‘Beacon Project’ (founded to suppress alternative views over the internet), that, ‘IRI is launching a new program aimed at countering the increasing threat of Russian soft power and propaganda’.[41] What is the IRI other than an agency to purvey the ‘soft power and propaganda’ of the USA?
Other ISD’s sponsor, Gen Next, Facebook, and Google, were among the founders of Movements.org, a globalist project aiming to use digital technology to foment ‘regime change’ in states targeted by globalists and/or the USA. Its original name was Alliance of Youth Movements. Corporate sponsors of Movements.org have included Howcast, Edelman, Music TV, Meetup, Pepsi, CBS News, Mobile Accord, You Tube, MSN/NBC, National Geographic , Omicom Group, Access 360 Media. Public Partnerships are Columbia Law School and the U.S. State Department. Representatives at the organisation’s summits have included those from the Rand Corporation, World Bank, National Democratic Institute, You Tube, Freedom House, et al. Movements.org was particularly active in the ‘Arab Spring’, where a string of regimes were toppled in quick succession.[42]
ISD initiated its own youth focused, digital project similar to Movements.org, YouthCAN (Youth Civil Activism Network).[43]
Conclusion
The ISD is part of a large, world-wide network of NGOs, so-called ‘civil society’ that promotes globalisation in the interests of plutocracy. The part the ISD plays in this process is to help suppress dissent against globalisation in the name of combatting ‘racism’, ‘xenophobia’ and ‘fascism’. Open borders and so-called ‘inclusive economies’ are primary aims of globalisation. Those who dissent from this process must be eliminated by being demonised and delegitimised, and smeared as a prelude to the actual banning of dissidents with the use of terms such as ‘hate speech’, ‘and ‘counter-terrorism’. This is the function of the ISD.
There are multitudes of useful idiots in politics, academia and media who will play their part whether through a banal idealism or plain opportunism. While the globalists and their allies discount as ‘conspiracy theorists’ those who object that globalism means plutocratic exploitation and the reducing of humanity to a nebulous globule of economic units, they proffer their own theory of an ‘international Austro-Nazi conspiracy’. They have used the Tarrant atrocity to cynically justify a witch-hunt against dissidents. Is the term ‘witch-hunt’ an exaggeration for what is taking place? Consider this:
Firearm licence applicants are being checked for shaven heads, Nazi symbolism and camouflage clothes after the March 15 terror attack. Stuff has learnt police issued a new directive informing vetting staff to be wary of the ‘extreme right’, which includes white supremacy and far right ideology. Signifiers of the extreme right include tattoos, Celtic or Norse symbolism, books on the Third Reich, confederate flags, and reference to Norway mass-shooter Anders Breivik.[44]
A New Zealand branch of the Norse folk-religion Asatru had been grossly vilified because Tarrant had painted a rune on his firearm. That was enough for the media. In a small victory, the Asatru group successfully filed a complaint with the Media Council.[45] The Otago Daily Times carried a feature portraying the South Island Independence Movement as part of this ‘Far Right’ ‘racist extremism’. Opposition to the Government’s fringe antics is enough to get one black-listed.[46] Such was the widespread disdain for this trash journalism that the newspaper’s online public feedback forum was quickly suppressed.
The aims of the liberals, communists and plutocrats have always proceeded behind high sounding slogans such as ‘liberty, equality, fraternity,’ ‘peace, land, bread’, and more lately ‘human rights’, ‘equality’ and ‘anti-racism’. The result has been guillotines, firing squads, kool aid, and concentration camps; the Reign of Terror, the Red Terror, and Jonestown – perpetrated on the altar of Equality. Since the media, police, academics and politicians claim there is an ideological link between the ‘Right’, ‘white supremacy’, Nazism, fascism and xenophobia, then might we say on the same basis that Mr Gower and his ilk are the ideological children of Jim Jones and Robespierre, and that Prime Minister Ardern and her ‘Labour’ Government are the ideological children of Pol Pot?
Had such actions of police, state and media towards the elusive New Zealand ‘Far Right’, ‘white supremacists’, critics of the U.N., gun-owners, and admirers of Donald Trump, been taken against the ‘Far Left’ there would have been a reaction of outrage with cries of ‘McCarthyism’, and ‘witch-hunt’. Indeed, the only ‘terrorist’ training subjected to police and court proceedings to have taken place in New Zealand concerned psychotic anarchists training with Maoris with firearms and explosives in the mountains of the Ureweras. There was an outcry that the police had interfered with such civil liberties.[47]
In the present situation, however, things are totally different. The 12 year old girl, surrounded by armed police on a farm while she was shovelling horse dung with a pitch-folk, is unlikely to receive an apology from polcie, and an outpouring of sympathy from liberaldom.[48] Likewise with the family of the Russian army veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder, who killed himself thanks to police antics.[49] God knows how many others have been harassed by armed halfwits in police uniform, intruding on households to ask idiotic questions for hours, on the basis of the ‘governmental advice’ provided by ISD ‘experts’ (sic) in the search for elusive ‘Far Right extremists’ with links to an ‘international Austro-Nazi conspiracy’.
