In Dove World Outreach’s April 21 article, they defended the Westboro Baptist Church hate group’s practice of protesting at American soldiers funerals. In addition, the Dove World Outreach article states that “We have also learned that when you speak out about what God hates, you will be hated. We do not agree with all of Westboro’s methods, but we admire their determination to find radical ways to preach the truth of the Bible, as we do.”

— “Two Muslim girls have been stopped from travelling abroad in what is thought to be the first case of its kind in Northern Ireland, after a judge feared they were being sent for forced marriages. High Court judge Mr Justice Stephens, sitting in Belfast, imposed a forced marriage protection order for the girls aged 12 and 14. Mr Justice Stephens ruled on behalf of the children, identified as G and D, after the authorities claimed false documents were produced as part of a planned deception by their parents. An unnamed Trust alleged a claim the girls were to be sent for several years’ education in Pakistan was a pretext for the real motive.”
A YouTube video shows a St. Louis political “Tea Party” group member has confronted a self-proclaimed “racist” and “separatist” white individual wearing a shirt with the Neo-Nazi logo “Blood and Honor” group, stating that the individual with the Nazi group shirt does not represent the values of the Tea Party political group.
On the YouTube video, the St. Louis Tea Party representative rejects these groups and the Nazi shirt with a small swastika on it as not representative of the Tea Party group values, stating “the swastika is not welcome at the Tea Party.” The individual with the Nazi shirt states “I don’t care what you stand for, I care what I stand for.” He also tells the videographer that “I probably go to church more than you, I am a trustee.”

The self-proclaimed “racist” attendee states that “I am proud to be a racist… I am not a Nazi, I am a proud racist, I am white.” He then angrily states “if more people stood up for the white rights, you would not need 25 percent blacks on a job…” He then tells the person with the Tea Party political group “you guys are a bunch of wimps, you need to stand up for your racial purity.” When he then states that “I am a separatist,” the Tea Party representative replies “then separate yourself .”

For those who are unfamiliar with the “Blood and Honor” Nazi group, Against Nazi has previously reported that it was a U.K.-founded group with U.S. supporters. “Blood and Honor” Nazi events have been promoted on the “white nationalist hate group”Stormfront, headquartered in Florida, and who were big promoters of the failed Washington DC area “American Renaissance” event that was cancelled in February 2010. The self-proclaimed “racist” individual at the St. Louis public event was wearing a Nazi and skinhead promoting shirt and hat. The “deaths head” logo on the front of the Nazi’s shirt and his hat are products that we have seen before. The back of the shirt is not something we have seen before, but elements of it are consistent with other B&H and Aryan supremacist merchandise.
R.E.A.L. has also previously reported on the efforts of other “white nationalist” groups such as the Occidental Dissent,the Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC), and their supporters to attempt to infiltrate and persuade Tea Party groups to adopt racial hatred. The Occidental Dissent claimed success on April 15 by infiltrating a Washington DC based Tea Party event. The Occidental Dissent, whose mission is the “the creation of a Jew-free, racially exclusive White ethnostate in North America,” used the Gadsden Flag as way to integrate with the Tea Party April 15 event, despite their open and clear contempt for the United States of America.
“I will say this though: there is a common thread that unites the Tea Party protesters with the militias and gun enthusiasts (and the White Nationalists) we saw in Kentucky. All of these groups are starting to rally around a common anti-government symbol: the Gadsden flag.”
“Where there is smoke, there is fire… Several of the Tea Party signs were caricatures of Obama that struck me as mildly negrophobic. They had slightly exaggerated racial features that brought to mind the Jim Crow minstrel show cartoons that I collect back home. The punchline: this man in the White House, the bloodsucking illegitimate thief stealing our money, is a sort of absurd African foreigner. This type of milquetoast racial humor seemed to be quite popular among the crowd.”
“Carl Cameron of FOX News made an appearance. I stood less than five feet away from him waving the Gadsden flag in the background of the U.S. Capitol. I don’t know if any of this was on television. There were other ‘Alternative Right’ commentators on the ground in DC. We saw someone from The Political Cesspool walking among the crowd. Stuff Black People Don’t Like was on the scene and chatted with us. The racialist alternative media has grown by leaps and bounds over the past year.”
We support our unqualified, universal human rights for all. We urge Nazi, white supremacist, racial supremacist, and those who promote hate and to release the burden of the hate and violence from their hearts, and to rejoin the family of humanity in support of our universal human rights.
The first use of a “snake” symbol in American history was simply to signify the divided the 13 colonies and the need to “join or die” as a united nation. The later “Gadsden flag” of uncertain origin, was used by U.S. Marine Continental Colonel Christopher Gadsden on his ships in warfare against the British army, after seeing the “rattlesnake” symbol on some drums in Philadelphia. The Gadsden flag is a historic symbol associated with military conflict.
The Gadsden Flag
The use of the Gadsden flag for current political disagreement is not a major part of U.S. political history, as the Gadsden flag has predominantly been associated with historic military conflict. Unfortunately, in addition to the Gadsden flag’s past use as part of military history, there has also been use of the Gadsden flag by groups promoting anti-government militias and racial oriented hate groups.
Because of this, those groups that have used the Gadsden flag for their political views today, are now being joined by those who have also used the Gadsden flag and who promote hate and even violence against their fellow Americans. Unfortunately for those using the Gadsden flag strictly for their political causes, many extremist hate groups have sullied the Gadsden flag for years, by using it to promote their “fight” against our human rights of equality and liberty.
The Occidental Dissent claimed success on April 15 by infiltrating a Washington DC based Tea Party event. The Occidental Dissent, whose mission is the “the creation of a Jew-free, racially exclusive White ethnostate in North America,” used the Gadsden Flag as way to integrate with the Tea Party April 15 event, despite their open and clear contempt for the United States of America.

To those who simply seek political change, does it makes sense to use a historic symbol that has been sullied by so many hate groups that seek “a fight” in support of racism or other supremacist views?

CNN reports: — “The student body president of California State University, Chico, was recovering Monday from stab wounds suffered in what police believe was a hate crime, officials said.”
— “Joseph Igbineweka, who was born in Nigeria, was stabbed early Sunday while walking in a Chico neighborhood near the college where mostly students reside, Chico police Sgt. Rob Merrifield said.”
— “Igbineweka passed two men who began to make racial slurs, Merrifield said. He ignored them and continued to walk, but they followed him and continued to yell at him.”
— “Igbineweka eventually turned around, and one of the men struck him, Merrifield said. He fought back, but the man pulled a pocket knife and stabbed him at least four times, in the neck, chest, stomach and arm, according to Merrifield. The attacker fled on foot.”
Pakistan Dawn: “An intolerant nation”
— Dawn: “We are reaping the harvest of the seeds of hatred sown in the seventies and eighties. Pakistan is becoming an increasingly intolerant nation where religious and sectarian minorities live in fear and are awarded little or no protection by the state.”
— “Difference is unacceptable to the obscurantists who want everyone to toe their line. And if that takes intimidation, torture or even murder, then so be it, for no option is unavailable to the self-righteous who believe that they alone have seen the light.”
— “This mindset is not limited to the Taliban who kill in the name of religion. There is no shortage in Pakistan of sectarian and other militant outfits that feel justified in murdering Shias, Christians and Ahmadis — or indeed anyone who doesn’t share their views.”
