National Front demonstration in Wellington

About 25 National Front members and supporters and up to 30 counter-demonstrators faced off outside Parliament today.

About 25 National Front members and supporters and up to 30 counter-demonstrators faced off outside Parliament today.

The demonstration began at around 11am today with the National Front having more supporters than usual in attendance.

Sid Wilson, the new National Director of the NZNF after Kyle Chapman's departure earlier this year, attempted to give a speech which in part covered Treaty Issues, Free Trade with China and "traitorous Member's of Parliament".

Most of it was drowned out by the counter-demonstrators, who, numbering around 30, made their presence felt with chanting, singing and obnoxious use of a megaphone.

Of particular note, in the NZNF's ranks was Nicholas Miller, alleged to have assaulted Somalian men last year and known member of the Wellington right wing community.

Although violence was threatening, Police presence was high and a line was formed between the two opposing groups.

Just before 12pm, the counter-demonstrators left the scene, leaving Wilson and the NZNF with nothing to do but leave themselves.

No one was arrested.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

we actually stayed til nearly 1pm, just after which the NF left the scene with a police escort.

nick miller had a freshly shiny shaven head and weird + gross beard thing happening .
about half the NF people were skinheads, some had neo nazi tattoos and death's head patches

given that the NF had been trying to keep the demo a secret from us, its pretty cool we had so many people there to oppose them, at incredibly short notice

so
haha! to the fascists

Fascist Scum

I see that this scum have taken to holding surprise demonstrations in order to try and avoid the beating we dealt them this time last year. And I thought that Nick Miller had bail conditions that stopped him from showing his ugly face south of the Paremata roundabout. Anyone know if he will be going to jail or what the deal was with his court case?

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

yeah it was a hung jury (this just happened a few days ago), which means there will be a re-trial in like 6 months or something.....

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Hail the NZNF!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

hey, can someone post some pics?

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

or can you not.. No a good idea for S.C. reasons.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

I swear, these fucking white pieces of shit need to get shot up the arse.

fucking racist pieces of white filth

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

asher, shut your filthy kike face.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

The above comment by Asher Goldman was not the real Asher.

The above comment from Cale could very well have been from Cale (shrugs).

This whole shebang reaks of gutlessness of the highest order. If the NF are so brave and ballsy why bother hiding their plans under a rock for several weeks and unveiling them at one hour before close of business on Friday?

These are the actions of people who fear another bollocking.

One thing I will say; Sid the Squid obviously has a few more braincells that the pie eating chipmunk.

FDB might actually have to untie one of their hands from behind their back and actually TRY this time around to put a stop to race-hate on BOTH sides of the Tasman.

Game on.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

While i hate the way theses people think and realise that we have to be out there to confront and resist on behalf of basically all peoples i really think it could be done different. I do not want to fight, so therefor i am not going to threaten violence when threats come at me i brush them off cause for a start who am i NF?? and other than that there was a time when a certian member of the NF was going to kill me, and he knew me but i am still walking still breathing.

By the way the NF got a bad wrap in the TV coverage but the balaclava clad faces went down not to bad.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

ok let me re-phrase that

can someone post some pics, with *anti-fa faces blurred out* if they are recogniseable

its pretty easy to do ...

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

actually there was round 40 of us and more like 15 nazis - unless you were counting the cops?

thats nice Greg, what about black racists, I don't see a single protester here: Dr. Kamau Kambon calls for the extermination of white people, funny about that, eh Greg?.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

In regard to "Anna Key's" response;

There was not 40 counter-demonstrators and I believe I am correct when I state that the NZNF had 25 members/supporters present.

If I was including the Police in the calculations then I would put the NZNF's numbers considerably higher; say 45 or more.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

That White filth will never stop until they are exposed.

How stupid of the poster to post pictures where ARA activists can be identified.

TAKE THAT PICTURE DOWN, IDIOT !!

Photos of anti-fascists

The faces in this photograph have been blurred by A-IMC editors.

For security reasons, please do not post identifying photos of anti-fascist activists on this website. Please blur out / pixellate the images before you post them.

If you're not sure how to do that, just email us:
imc-aotearoa-ed (nospam) lists.indymedia.org
We're happy to help

Any photos which identify people will be re-posted with faces blurred out.

Fascists do watch this site, and they do use photos posted on this site to try and identify anti-fascists and other left-wing activists, which they re-publish on fascist websites.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

I suggest you blur out the photos of the NF or there will be legal action.

yeah, good luck with that

haha, what kind of legal action exactly?
this article is not suggesting anything nasty should happen to NF members.
and it's perfectly legal to take photos of people in public places.....

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

The fact of the matter is that after demonstrations like this there is no way they can gain any form of political legitimacy, the public will generally interpret it as just a 'neo-nazi skinhead rally', it's also a complete paradox to see them flying the New Zealand flag whilst adorned in memorabilia of the 'Third Reich'.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Going to blur them or not?

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

why do you need them blurred out you big tough nazi storm trooper you...

scared that the "punks and fairies" are gonna come and get you?

if your cause were just you would have nothing to fear, you're disrespectful scum in my eyes for even being NEAR that cenotaph with nazi regailia.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

so even though the nf are the ones who come along and show their faces and havent had them blurred out in the past you think that they are scared,what about the antis who come along with balaclavas and hide their faces then ask for any pictures which show them to be blurred,whos scared?

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

you all seemed so upset lots of anti-fascists were masked up, but why then was there a NF 'security' goon with a mask on eh?

fascists in new zealand, erm, sorry, 'patriots' according to you, have burnt maraes, attacked mosques, bashed people unconscious, tried to run people over, smashed up cemetaries, and killed people.

well, sorry but i'm not stupid. i can work against your hate and vile ideologies far better if you don't have my face and name on file.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

SMASH THESE FUCKING WHITE TURDS !!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Facist, antifacist, you're all the same to me.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

The sheer uglyness and lunacy of these white fanatics is astounding.

They must be stopped, and detained immediately for inciting racial hatred, and kept in some loony bin, with a raw bone to gnaw on.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Yeah it seems to me that the Anti Racists show just as much hatred (if not more) then the Nazi's.
Doesn’t anyone else see the similarities? Its all just youth rebellion at the end of the day. They will mostly grow out of it. I wonder what it is that’s makes a youth either choose to be a Anarchist or a Nazi, when at the end of the day they are both just being anti social. They have way more in common then any of them want to admit. Run around trying to scare people, bring down the state, pretend to represent the workers and hate the police. Mohawks or skinheads? It’s just a strip of hair to divide them… Both had way smaller numbers then last year. Maybe the whole thing is getting old and doesn’t excite the younglings anymore. They have moved on to being full time junkies instead of just part time druggies with Political dreams.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

ARA VICTORY , THE WHITE TRASH SCUM BEGGED FOR PROTECTION FROM THE COPS !!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Good point Bob, it's just young people being "anti-establishment" on both sides.

Hopefully they will grow up.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Actually quite a few of the fascists were not young at all....

(and well, its was hard to guess the ages of the rest of us)

And if you can't tell the difference between a totalitarian homophobic racist and an anti-authoritarian, anti-border, pro-queer activist, then frankly I worry about you

ps. i'm not planning on growing up anytime soon. It's god damn boring :)

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

is it righteous to hate hatred. hell yes! tolerate intolerance? hell no! fight wrongs! fight oppression! fight injustice! fight ignorance!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

the system is racist and oppressive and exploitative and will not grow out of it without countering it on all fronts by all people.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

the future belongs to us!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Dear Bob and John,
sheez. Anarchists vz nationalist racists. How can you possibly say they are the same and both anti-social etc etc etc? Do you even know what you're talking about? For a start the mohawk is a sign of a punk and not all punks are anarchist or vice versa.
Yeah the event seemd a bit like a gang war but what would you rather have: a bunch of skinheads inciting nationalist racism and violence? Someone has to stand up to them, just like in the Great Wars.
Anarchists are all about being social and building community. Just because we make some noise and act and dress differently does not make us anti-social. Does this threaten you? Do you not like to see other people having the courage to be who they really are?
And what's wrong with bringing down teh state and hating police. When you've been beaten and oppressed all your life amybe you'll understand but hey I guess you're good mena nd do what you're told, don't step out of line, don't think, don't live.
Anarchy is aataahua is all I have to say.
(The rest of your comments aren't worth reading let alone repyling to).

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

I don't think it was ever a matter of being 'anti-establishment' in my mind for anarchists (not that we're not), but about opposing the attacks in our communities by people like Nick Miller and his little friends, and allowing no room for fascists to organise politically.

The reason they were not many at the counter-demo on the weekend is because the fascists were too scared to publicise their action, so we only found out just before it happened. The only reason they were scared was because of the rark up they got last year.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

A skinhead looks like a punk with no hair to me. Boots Bombers, denims, they like punk music and oi music, they like hard core music. Its sad that only the young ones cant see that the ones with the Swazis have the same thing going on as the ones with the stars and A emblems.
Its like the Mob and Black power. The same people with different patches. Just haveing a big war over nothing but hatred of the past, hatred of old wrongs.
If you stand up for peoples right to beleive in what they are and want to be, then why hate people who are racist? Its a really large Hypocrisy. Either everyone has a right to freedom or they dont. Either everyone has a right to political indervidualism or they dont. In my eyes, if you want to take away any of those rights you are a Nazi or a Communist.
They are basic human rights, No one can take away what is in your head.
Im more worried about institutional Racism. Not these bald Punks running around trying to spin people out with the Swazi, Its just another Anarchy symble really.
Institutional Racism has created a beleif that anyone from a Moari Back ground cant make it on his own. That is sad that the Middle class and establishment incourage this type of racism. They look down at Moari. They say they are not racist and then treat them different to whites.
Thats sad!
I know lots of Punks and Skins. I have known many who were both at different times. To me it is more evidence they are just looking for new ways to spin out their mum and dad, or the state or what ever.
The Police wouldnt oppress you if you just didnt look like you want to destroy everything. Its logical really. If you really wanted to bring the state down you would dress like them and get into it and destroy it from within.
All the boots and ripped shirts and tats just show rebelion, its not real rebelion. Its fake!!
Skins and Punks are both posers!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

what the hell our numbers were not as strong as we would have liked but nor were there's as for the idiots on the mega phone you didnt get what you wanted you didnt get violence from the National Front and you were the ones that walked out first cause you didnt like it that so many of your people got bummed out when ever you tried sid made a great speach and i for one was proud to be standing tall on thoes steps with the rest of the people from the national front people that care about there country and dont want it to lose what new zealand is about as for our security hiding his face i counted all of what two of your people without masks on whats the matter are you the ones that are scared to show your faces he did that because of his family and his children you didnt want to show your faces cause your scared of what we might do whats just sad and as for the so called Anarchist who gave one of our members her e mail and phone number if you say you hate us and what we stand for what we belive in and being proud of our country why the hell would you give that to one of our members of all people your number and e mail addie thats hypocritical and just plain funny the next demo we have are you going to have the same thing happen being mde a fool of and having to walk out on a demostration that you are suposidly so much against i really cant wait till next time ...... NF member and proud of it

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

This is my first post in this topic. All others purporting to be by me are not. For future reference, check the email address and see whether it is verified or not.

My best guess of numbers would be 20-25 Fascists, 15-20 Pigs, 30-40 Anti-Fascists.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

My dear BOB, you are beautiful! Thank you thank you. You are a great example of someone living in a privillaged society who generally cares about whats going on but are quick to judge other peoples dissent. Its very foolish to make assumptions on people and movements by there clothes or uniforms or music tastes or physical appearance. A patch that reads say "meat is murder" is much different than a patch which reads say "white supremacy". Even though they are just patches after all, they mean very different things!! Its the ideologies which need to be looked at and fought over. You are right when you say "No one can take away whats in your head" but who put the thoughts in each ones head? The National front are for a society based on priviliages and hierarchies and patriarchies, and these things are oppressive in one way or another. It could have been easy to let them talk there talk and the police protect them, BUT its more important to, as someone mentioned somewhere on this site, to prevent them from organising politically. And, because the national front rarely make public appearances as a group, and of course when any group make a public appearance it is after all just a show, there show needs to be ridiculed and shut down. Besides, the national front already have a powerful platform in this society called the New Zealand Police Department.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

FUCK THE FASCISTS, FUCK THE PIGS FUCK THE SYSTEM

National Front demonstration in Wellington

Hate is Hate. It is ugly and it consumes people. Hate moves onto other things. As I said before I know for a fact many Nazi Skinheads used to be Anarchist Punks. Their Hatred grew into another level. It is the same hate with a different badge, they don’t care what the politics are, they just want to hate. Most of the young skins don’t even know what they hate.
Kyle Chapman was a punk once. Mohawk and all. He even had an anarchy tat.
This is my further evidence that people who get into negative things just carry that on to new levels. There is a way to stop the cycle, that way is to either find a better more productive way, or just get on with your life and stop worrying about it all. You know it will all go on whether you are there or not.
The Hate is the same hate; there are not two kinds of hate. Hate starts war. I thought Punks were supposed to be anti war. Yet they do what they accuse Bush of doing, they go out of their way to make war with others. If the Nazi’s do that aswell, then let the police deal with it. You don’t have to be a hero and take on the world. That’s what the police get paid for.
It would be nice to be in a country where we didn’t have so much hate.
Far out those boot girls those skinheads hang out with shag you punk’s aswell. They share their love, you should aswell. It’s the same as the women who go with all the street gangs. Maybe some of the guys are like that too, just there for a party and some women. The Demo’s etc are just a way to show off to their mates and earn those mind altering products and easy women latter when they tell their stories of what big hero’s they are.

I keep the above quotation in mind every time i hear the National Front or any other neo-fascist organistation attempts to hold a rally in Wellington and worry that people might just right the Front off as being irrelevant pack of shitkickers and of little concern to them.
Least we not forget that the Nazi Party started of as a small grouping in the early 20th century!
I worry that a grouping like the National Front presents ready made answers to people who already feel alienated from the society they live in and struggle to cope with the changing face of Aotearoa/New Zealand society.
The National Front like the Destiny Church play on peoples prejudice's and actively encourage them, in the case of Destiny it is Gay's and with the National Front people of colour and different cultures who they believe to be a valid threat to their European Culture.
The National Front as far as i am concerned are free to hold rally in Wellington. (I would personally prefer if they did not)
But the right to hold a rally and shout your message carrys a price and that price is being challanged in public by people of opposing views.
That is the price of free speech, the right to say what you want and to be challanged and called to account for what you say!

It is a sad fact that this poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller had to be written at all.

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out

Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

The Punk is Kyle Chapman by the way. Just incase you didnt get that. I have lots of Pics of Old punks who are now Nazi Skins or Fashists. I think they just like to spin people out more with Nazi Stuff. It does a better Job then the Anarchy Emblems, they are trendy now.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Why did we mask up??? well i guess thoes bottles at the conference in christchurch somehow through themselves out of the car..... I guess recently when a couple of skins saw me and mumbled about a anachist it is just out of the blue (no i had no patches). That tall fuckwit who said he would love a chance to smash my face in he would love to know who i am eh?!

fuck it i don't have time nor to i care.

peace

next time my face will be out for all to see!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Fuck, Im like i wishe i had known they just like showed up at them the parliment.

Anarchists, punks smash that white scum !!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

My point further proved! Punks are just haters aswell!!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Umm bob, can you not percieve the difference between kinds of hatred. for some reason you seem to think that any hatred is illegitimate???

Hatred towards an ideology that murdered millions and is in your town threatening to kill you seems to me to be quite a rational response. But you are equating this with the hatred the NF feel towards Jews and 'coloureds' for fucking up this country.

I don't think that there's a problem to have a bit of hatred towards these arses aslong you don't forget they are still humans that hopefully have some capacity for empathy left...

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Good on the National Front!

Good to see activism of a patriotic nature is alive and well in NZ!

why do you lot always blur out your faces when taking photographs? Are your cowards?

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

I'm sure if you were either a young student, or a parent with young children you would blur your face when you are opposing a group which has many members who are and have been involved in violent crime.

It's quite funny to see you supporting the NF. Afterall they are the group who co-ordinated a nice big party with the Satans Slaves. If you don't know much about the S.S perhaps you should google them and check out some of their hobbies. But then again it's not surprising that you condone criminals when you are one and have been involved with violent groups. So it is understandable how man a of your calibre can be supportive of gangs, drug dealers, and thugs.

Good day to you sir!

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

i would just like to say how quite a few people mention the presense of the police in these protests and how most think that they are on the side of the nf,how wrong,do you not realise that any protest held by any group in nz has the police there to stop any confrontation between opposing sides,if an anti-facist protest happened,which they often do,then the police are there as well,and as they know they are not there to help but usually to hinder,just like the nf

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

these are some of the stupidist comments I've ever seen.

SO what if Kyle fatman was a punk? what the hell is punk suppose to mean anyway? Its just a stupid cultural product to most. I know skins who have never been racist too, does that make all skins non-haters? no!

You are right that alot of old punks were nazis, or hung out with nazis. but to generalize now when so many political punks are trying so hard to reclaim their culture from fascist thugs is irreponsible.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

all i can say is, its really awesome to see people who want new zealand to become a better place. the national front are obviously true pioneers in the struggle for a better country. well done boys.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Who is that guy trying to kid when he says "people got bummed out when ever you tried sid made a great speach and i for one was proud to be standing tall on thoes steps with the rest of the people from the national front people that care about there country"

Wasn't Sid's "great speach" the same as the ones he did last year? And how does wearing SS Death's Head logos or sporting nazi eagle tattoos demonstrate love for New Zealand? Weren't more NZers killed by Nazi Germany than by any other country (no record has been published of those killed by the British Army here in the 1800's, so that may be higher, maybe not).
The NF demo showed their stupidity, they just don't learn a thing do they?

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

Heres a quote i love from the Punkas.com forums:

i mean... theres 3 main types of kiwi nazis

late 40's - 50's, old war movie buff who has a secret homosexual attraction towards nazi uniforms

racist skinhead, late 20's, 30's, who has a secret homosexual attraction towards nazi uniforms

computer geek counterstrike player, late teens, 20's who has a secret homosexual attraction towards nazi uniforms AND racist skinheads.

its a fantasy world, but you cant tell them, delusional people generally stay that way.

Re: National Front demonstration in Wellington

by the sound of you jack,you had a dysfunctional family,and i say this because you seem to blame everything on homosexuality,did you have a homosexual experience growing up and are so ashamed of it that you like to blame all lifes problems on it,i know this probably isnt true but neither is anything you have said
