The association claimed that over a hundred participants attended the ceremony. Italian neo-fascists commemorated the execution of World War II Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini with flower bouquets, Kingdom of Italy flags, and Roman salutes at two ceremonies in Dongo and Giulino di Mezzegra, drawing outrage from opposing political groups and Jewish organizations. The events on Sunday, organized by Associazione Culturale Mario Nicollini, marked 80 years since the capture of Mussolini and his mistress Clara Petacci by Italian partisans at Dongo on April 27, 1945, and their firing-squad execution in the town of Giulino di Mezzegra the following day.
An NHS worker joined a video call with Nazi paraphernalia clearly visible in the background, according to a whistleblower colleague. A recording of the call – which was part of a South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) meeting – shows a man in his home office with a large Nazi flag leaning against the wall behind him. There is also a framed picture of Hitler on a shelf and a swastika armband on a bookcase. His colleague Amelia – not her real name -was also on the call and said that when she reported what she had seen she was ostracised by other staff and bags of dog poo were left outside her home. (…) Talking about the video call meanwhile, Amelia, who is a manager at the trust, said she and colleagues had been in a meeting about staffing levels, when the fellow manager joined them from home. She said: ‘I kept looking around the room thinking, “why is no one saying anything?”… When I spoke to people afterwards they said: “Oh yeah… he’s always been into Nazi stuff”.’ Amelia said she initially tried to report what she’d seen anonymously but was told she had to identify herself and put in a formal grievance for the matter to be investigated. She claims when she did this, she was isolated by her colleagues, frozen out of meetings and uninvited to team events, adding that it killed her career.
Neo-Nazi extremists openly gathered at an Oldham pub to celebrate Adolf Hitler’s birthday complete with flags and even a cake decorated with swastikas, it emerged today. Members of the north west branch of racist fringe group British Movement assembled at the Duke of Edinburgh last Saturday afternoon. The far right obsessives unfurled flags displaying Nazi symbols and even tucked into a black, red and white birthday cake emblazoned with a swastika. They then showed off about the shocking celebration on social media, sickeningly saying the pub had been filled with the ‘warm laughter of comrades’ as they marked ‘the 136th Birthday of Uncle A’. After been approached about the appalling scenes, the pub has said it had no knowledge of the actions of the group of up to eight men and one woman and had now reported them to police. (…) One picture, showing three men with their faces pixelated holding a flag emblazoned with a swastika, SS bolts and the Iron Cross, has been digitally altered to include a black and white photograph of Hitler. Another shows five men stood posing behind the British Movement flag. The footage shows the men unfurling the flags to pose for pictures before quickly hiding them away. It also shows one man, wearing a German national team football shirt with ‘Fuhrer 44’ printed on the back, appearing to do the Nazi salute. A post on the group’s Telegram feed reads: ‘On a gorgeous sunny afternoon in Greater Manchester, a platoon of Northwest British Movement met up to celebrate the 136th Birthday of Uncle A. (…) The Duke of Edinburgh’s incoming landlady Jean Anderson, who is taking over the pub from her partner Terry English, said she knew nothing about the group’s outrageous neo-Nazi stunt. She said: ‘We didn’t see anything until it was posted online. ‘We thought it was a birthday party. ‘They said they had a cake, but we didn’t know what happened because they covered everything up. ‘The pub was full. There were about six to eight men and one woman.
via daily mail: Fury as Neo-Nazis hold birthday party for Adolf Hitler complete with swastika flags and birthday cake. Greater Manchester Police have confirmed they are investigating after neo-Nazis celebrated Adolf Hitler’s birthday at an Oldham pub. North West members of the fringe far-right extremist group British Movement pulled out racist flags and a cake decorated with a swastika at the Duke of Edinburgh, in Royton, last Saturday afternoon (April 19). (…) The M.E.N. understands police are investigating the incident as a Section 18 public order offence – which includes the displaying of written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting, intended to stir up racial hatred. Greater Manchester Police has issued a new statement this afternoon (April 27), as it urges anyone with information about the incident to come forward. A force spokesperson said: “Police in Oldham are investigating reports that a group attended a pub on Market Street in Royton in possession of Nazi memorabilia.
Around 30 neo-Nazis performed Nazi salutes on Saturday afternoon at the statue of Saint Wenceslas in Prague’s Wenceslas Square. Captured by a security camera, the group had already dispersed before police arrived. According to Czech television stations Prima and Nova, many of the individuals likely traveled from Germany. Eyewitnesses reported that most members of the group climbed onto the statue’s base. One individual stood in front, raising his right hand in a Nazi salute, prompting the others to respond similarly. The act was reportedly accompanied by shouts of “Sieg heil,” according to Prima. “There were about thirty of them, and they mostly spoke German. Before the police, who were called by someone nearby, could arrive, they had disappeared. People around did nothing—some groups even chose to leave the area,” an eyewitness wrote in an email to the television station.
Am 22. März sorgte eine Razzia im Reichsbürger-Milieu für Aufsehen. In Reutlingen wurde dabei ein SEK-Beamter angeschossen, auch in Stuttgart gab es eine Durchsuchung. Die Maßnahmen standen im Zusammenhang mit Terror-Ermittlungen der Bundesanwaltschaft und betrafen vor allem Personen, die im Verfahren als Zeugen geführt werden. Der Schütze von Reutlingen war einer dieser Zeugen. Ein weiterer Mann, dessen Wohnung im Reutlinger Stadtteil Altenburg durchsucht wurde, fiel in der Vergangenheit mit Umsturz- und Gewaltfantasien auf. Und besuchte Querdenker-Demos. Razzia in Reutlingen-Altenburg: Unter dem Radar der Öffentlichkeit Durch die Schüsse auf SEK-Beamte ging die Razzia in Reutlingen-Altenburg am 22. März in Medienberichten eher unter. Die Südwestpresse berichtete zuerst darüber, und legte am 31. März mit einer großen Recherche zu der betroffenen Person nach. „Der Durchsuchte verbreitet gefährliche Hetze“, heißt es darin. Er besuche regelmäßig Querdenker-Demos in der Region und sei bei einer AfD-Veranstaltung im März 2022 als Ordner eingesetzt gewesen. Der Name des Mannes ist unserer Redaktion bekannt. Wie der Südwestpresse wurden auch uns Aufnahmen des Einsatzes zugespielt, die den SEK-Einsatz in Altenburg zeigen. Und Dokumente, die einen eindeutigen Bezug zwischen dem Mann und einem Account beim Messenger-Dienst Telegram herstellen. Auch unsere eigenen Recherchen zeigen, dass vom Account des Mannes in den letzten zwei Jahren in zahlreichen Kanälen dutzende radikale Beiträge abgesetzt wurden. Die Inhalte: Antisemitismus, Morddrohungen, Umsturzpläne. Die Feindbilder: Politiker, Mediziner, Journalisten. (…) Neben den radikalen Äußerungen hängt der Mann offenbar unzähligen Verschwörungserzählungen an: Von QAnon über die Vorstellung einer flachen Erde bis hin zum Reichsbürgertum. Video- und Fotomaterial, dass er in einem bekannten Telegram-Kanal der Reichsbürger-Szene teilte, zeigt ihn mit anderen Personen an einem Bismarck-Denkmal, eine Reichsflagge in der Hand. An anderer Stelle äußert er sich mehrfach antisemitisch, leugnet den Holocaust und gibt Juden die Schuld am Zweiten Weltkrieg.
Three Nazi flags hung over Stockholm highway on Hitler’s birthday, April 20; police remove them soon after; ‘I was in shock,’ says witness; Israeli ambassador condemns act: ‘Something we never thought to see in Europe again’ Swedish media reported that three large red flags bearing swastikas were hung early Sunday morning over a major highway between Solna and Stockholm, in what authorities suspect was a deliberate act of incitement. The flags were spotted along the Essingeleden highway, and their appearance coincided with April 20, Adolf Hitler’s birthday — a date often associated with neo-Nazi activity
The Nazis themselves were murder nerds. Now their successors are LARPing as wizards of racial superiority as they commit very real atrocities—as seen in the recent parent killing in Wisconsin. Deep in northwestern Westphalia, Germany, stands a twelfth-century castle conceived by Heinrich Himmler, leader of the paramilitary Schutzstaffel, as a kind of “Camelot” for the triumphal knights of the Aryan race. The Wewelsburg Castle was also a fantasy nerd’s dream come true. In its bowels lies an occult enclave straight out of Cecil B. DeMille: an Arthurian-style set of catacombs designed to look medieval but actually made of concrete. Above, in the Hall of the Supreme S.S. Leaders, there’s a marble floor inlaid with a design of the Black Sun, or Sonnenrad—a circle containing swastika-like arms that epitomizes Nazi striving to create an idealized Norse-Aryan past for themselves. Himmler started renovations on the castle in the mid-1930s; the Nazi paradise he built was meant to host S.S. ceremonies, such as handing particularly distinguished murderers the Totenkopfring, a ring adorned with the signature S.S. skull but also a variety of quasi-Nordic runes and symbolic oak leaves, designed by Himmler’s personal occultist, a purportedly clairvoyant mystic by the name of Karl Wiligut. The Nazis, in short, were obsessed with legend and magic. Consider the swastika itself: First written about in Germany by the archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who discovered the symbol in the ruins of Troy in 1868, the swastika was seized on by Hitler—whose birthday falls on Easter Sunday this year—as emblematic of the idealized, quasi-mythical Aryan race he sought to recreate. More to the point, the Nazis were murder nerds, LARPing as wizards of racial superiority as they committed very real atrocities. And the same is true of their successors today. Partly aping their dead heroes and partly engaged in a similar delusion—self-mythologizing as the scions of an ancient white race—neo-Nazis are a remarkably myth-oriented bunch. This manifests in a lot of different ways, like engaging in werewolf-themed cultic neopaganism or dedicating themselves to Norse gods. Or, in a recent newsworthy example, following the Order of the Nine Angles, a late-twentieth-century neo-Nazi pseudoreligion that seeks to turn its adherents into racially pure Satanic wizards. Earlier this week, a Waukesha, Wisconsin, teenager and devotee of the Order of the Nine Angles, or ONA, was charged with murdering his mother and stepfather and plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump, in order to further the Order’s goals of a world plunged into chaotic violence. “Jewish occupied governments must fall. The white race cannot survive unless America collapses,” the 17-year-old, Nikita Casap, wrote in a manifesto. “Huge amounts of violence will be required.” He called himself a “niner” (a Nine Angles devotee) and encouraged his imitators to read a variety of extremist books. In doing so, Casap drew on nearly a century of blood-drenched legacy in his pairing of violent death with a potent dose of magical thinking. The symbol of the Order of the Nine Angles looks, more than anything, like a mutilated cat’s cradle, just as their ideology is a muddle of inverted myths, profligate cruelty, and pure bigotry. It’s a religion of shock and destruction, and as such, it has appealed particularly to young men—teens seeking to break away from their parents, and aimless mid-twenties men who want to blaze a path of dubious glory by blood. The movement was created in the 1970s by a British neo-Nazi named David Myatt, nicknamed the “Cat Strangler” by his friends because of his affinity for torturing animals. His ideology reflects the charming sobriquet. In 1999, a 22-year-old man reportedly inspired by Myatt’s book A Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution planted bombs embedded with nails in areas frequented by London’s minority and gay communities, injuring 129 people and killing three. In Myatt’s work and speeches, an increasingly elaborate cosmology is paired with direct calls to terrorist action, all in the service of ushering in an eschatological race war. Affiliated with the so-called “Left-Hand Path” of magic—dark or black magic—the ONA offers such occult hokum as a world divided into the seven branches of the “Tree of Wyrd,” a creator deity named Vindex, and individual cells called “nexions.”
Neo-Nazis lean so heavily on myth because their ideology is prima facie absurd; the purported oppression of whites needs tortuous, even mythological explanations to ring remotely true. From @swordsjew.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1939…
