German alt-left Antifa extremists have released a new
instructional booklet ahead of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD)
conference in Augsburg which teaches and encourages “riot tourists” to
burn cars, attack war memorials, and target political party offices.
The 44-page booklet was posted to the notorious Indymedia web platform
that previously hosted the now-banned Linksunten website, which also
posted tutorials on sabotage and other acts of terror and violence
following last year’s riots at the G2o meeting in Hamburg.
Within the booklet, titled “Augsburg for Riot Tourists”, and on an
external blog site mirroring the guide that features the Antifa logo, the
far-left extremist group states: “We are calling for a revolt against the
German collective on the occasion of the AfD party conference in
Augsburg.”
“Not only do we want to fight the AfD, we also want to direct our riot
against every war memorial, against every repressive authority of the
state, against every party bureau of a racist party, against any
collaborator of a resurgent fascism,” with the group claiming that the
Bavarian Christian Social Union are no different than the populist AfD.
The addresses of party offices of the AfD are published along with
information on how activists can get to Augsburg for the conference which
is scheduled to take place between June 30th and July 1st.
In a section of the blog site labelled “instructions” the extremist group
show activists how to make paint bombs with traditional Christmas baubles
and glass bottles, create traps for cars by laying down planks of wood
with nails sticking out of them, and how to set cars on fire. “We wish you
a lot of fun trying them out,” they write.
Other targets listed include “collaborators” such as police stations, army
barracks, and even a city library, all with helpful symbols identifying
whether the locations have comprehensive security coverage, or have CCTV
cameras watching them.
The group also warns fellow extremists to wear gloves, even when picking
up rocks to throw at buildings or people noting that it is possible their
fingerprints could be lifted from the stones.
The instructions for violence are credited to “Prisma”, a notorious
far-left terror manual that calls on extremists to commit violence and
shows detailed diagram’s on building firebombs, sabotaging infrastructure,
and avoiding police. The blog site also provides direct links to the
Prisma terror document.
Far-left extremists have caused violence at previous AfD conferences
including last year in which police in Hannover deployed water cannons
against them.
In recent months, Antifa has claimed responsibility for the firebombing of
a Turkish mosque, and a French branch of the group fighting with Kurdish
forces in Northern Syria has promised to fight the French state with
sabotage and to target police and intelligence officials.
The French Antifa, which was also present at the violence in Paris on May
1st, posted the video statement from their “comrades” in northern Syria in
response to a series of evictions from squats and occupied university
buildings.
Here in the UK, Antifa recently attacked a conference of the Generation
Identity activist movement following the publication of the location of
the private event by far-left organisation HOPE not Hate. One far-left
extremist was arrested following the violence.
It gets worse
The UK branch of the far-left extremist group Antifa recently held a
conference in which members of Red Action, a group known for their
connection to the 1993 Harrods bombing, speaking alongside Danish Antifa
extremists.
The meeting, which was held earlier this year in London on May 21st, was
entitled “Building Antifascism in Our Communities” as part of the “Projekt
Antifa” speaking tour and was hosted by the far-left Solstar Sports
Association.
The speakers for the event were, according to the organisers, “several
generations of Antifascists including members from Projekt Antifa in
Copenhagen, Gary O’Shea of Red Action and comrades from Left Hook and AFA”.
Several of the groups have links to both violence and extremism. One of
the groups, Red Action, was linked to the 1993 Harrods bombing in which
two members, Patrick Hayes, a leading member of the group at the time, and
Jan Taylor, were convicted of planting a bomb for the IRA and sentenced to
30 years in prison each.
When police attempted to arrest the pair two months after the bombing,
they were met with gunfire, though no police were injured in the arrest.
After taking the two Red Action members into custody, police found 22lbs
of Semtex, a large stockpile of homemade explosives, several handguns,
ammunition, and remote detonators for potential bombs.
The meeting and public association with Red Action come after Antifa in
Germany released a “riot tourist” handbook which called on other far-left
extremists to attack targets at the upcoming conference of the anti-mass
migration populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) to be held in Augsburg
next month.
Personally, I find the ironies fascinating. Attacking war
memorials. A lot of these are dedicated to people who gave their lives in
the Second World war, fighting fascism. As I have remarked elsewhere, they
wear black uniforms, bear symbols, wear masks, and carry black flags, yet
style themselves as "anti fascist"! I personally struggle to see where
burning cars and buildings fits into the fight against fascism. Its yet
another good argument to support the banning of full face coverings in
public.
Maybe its time for government to take a hard look at this
organisation to maybe add Antifa to the prescribed list of terrorist
organisations, and also look at where money comes from that supports them.
And on the other side................
November 2018. Three people have been convicted of
belonging to the banned neo-Nazi group National Action. Adam Thomas, 22,
and his partner Claudia Patatas, 38, were found guilty with Daniel
Bogunovic, 27. the group marched through our streets with a banner bearing
the image of Adolf Hitler and actually celebrated the murder of Labour MP
Jo Cox.
When police visited their home to make the arrests a bedroom was found to
be strewn with weapons - machetes, crossbows, an axe under the bed, a
Nazi-style dagger. In the hallway were pendants bearing SS runes and the
insignia of the Ku Klux Klan. There were even cushions emblazoned with
swastikas in the lounge, and in the kitchen a swastika-shaped pastry
cutter, no doubt for preparing Hitler’s birthday cake, a popular ritual
amongst the Mein Kamf nutters.
Thomas and Patalas who were living together had just had their first
child. The baby, a little over a month old at the time, had been given the
middle name Adolf by his parents - in tribute to the leader of Nazi
Germany. He will now have to carry that name as he grows up.

This does raise some serious questions about the fitness of certain
parents to bring up children. Any political or religious creed that
preaches hatred and supports the murder of innocent people, whether its
political left or right, or religious, such as fundamental Islam, has no
place in a civilised society.
In the days of ‘the troubles’ in Northern Ireland kids were fed on a diet
of sectarian hatred which is no different to other extremist households.
If you go far enough to the right you get Hitler, far enough to the left
and you get Pol Pot or Stalin (a bigger mass murderer than Hitler), far
enough with fundamental Islam and people get thrown from rooftops and
burned alive.
Should people like this be allowed to bring up kids?
