BNP Still OK With Nazism

The BNP has made a lot of noise about change,  but the party leadership is still down with Nazism.

From Edmund Standing (UPDATE: This is now a guest post at Harry's Place.):


The BNP's merchandising wing - Excalibur - has hit tough times recently since Searchlight exposed its whereabouts and it got kicked out.

But, fear not, for the BNP still has its nascent digital downloads service. There are currently only four songs available, but, rest assured:
This may not be MTV, in fact it is of better cultural quality that the disposable factory-produced music that glorifies violence, drug use and sexual depravity, but this is our first steps towards developing our own music broadcast channel.
What is on offer at present are three tracks by the ever-unpopular BNP minstrel Dave Hannam, and a song called 'We are one', of which we read: 'Battlecry, an American based rock band have produced this powerful track with patriotic lyrics'.

Taking a look at Battlecry's website we discover that this track was indeed specially produced for the BNP. We also find that the band likesneo-Nazi symbolism:



Their albums also have some rather dubious content, it seems.

Here's a sample of the lyrics to their self-titled track:
For I am revenge
The furrowed seed
grown to avenge
In Dresden's fire
First breath was born

Devastation
Annihilate
Extermination
Come and seal your fate

They feed on their Prey
The carrion of social decay
The scavengers shall now disgorge
For I am the sword
The tempered blade of Aryan lore
In tower fire I was forged
Then there's the song 'Triumph of the Will'. Does the title ring a bell? It should.



And a sample of the song's lyrics:
Like a phoenix we will climb
From the ashes of mankind
For together we are strong
And now it won't be long

In victory we raise our hands
From all across our sacred lands
Shouting out the triumph of the will
Our enemies shall fall disgraced
As we march out to save our race
Now they'll see the
triumph of the will
The band's website features an embedded YouTube video for the 'Triumph of the Will' song, which includes images of Nick Griffin, former Klansman and anti-Semite David Duke, and Don Black, founder of the neo-Nazi Stormfront forum, as well as a logo supporting Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel. And which YouTube account might be hosting this video? None other than that of the Thurrock BNP branch!



Finally, there's the song 'My Awakening'. Again, the name rings a bell. Of course, it's the title of David Duke's 'political' autobiography:



According to Duke's website, 'My Awakening is the most powerful book in print on the race and Jewish Question'.


It turns out that Battlecry's song 'Keepers of the Light' features a guest appearance by 'Prussian Blue', a two girl act that promotes neo-Nazism:
Lamb and Lynx Gaede, adolescent twin girls who make up the band Prussian Blue, have gained recognition in white supremacist circles while preteens by singing about preserving the white race and Nazi heroes. Prussian Blue is the name of the blue residue left over by the use of Zyklon B, the poison the Nazis employed to kill millions of Jews and others in concentration camps during World War II.
Their perfomances are unambiguous:
"Strike force! White survival. Strike force! Yeah," they sing, punctuating each "Strike force!" with miniature sieg heils. Some of the men in the audience return the salute, and when the girls finish, thunderous applause fills the room.
As is their image:



And they come from a 'lovely' family background:
April home-schools the girls, teaching them her own unique perspective on everything from current to historical events. In addition, April's father surrounds the family with symbols of his beliefs -- specifically the Nazi swastika. It appears on his belt buckle, on the side of his pick-up truck and he's even registered it as his cattle brand with the Bureau of Livestock Identification.
No wonder Battlecry like the girls! And how kind of them to sell the girls' music via their site.

But then Battlecry are a very philanthropic pair. Not only have they written a song to support the BNP but they also donate $1 from every CD sale to the neo-Nazi Stormfront forum.

This article is from Searchlight, not the best of places to rely on given their history of mis-imformatiom

As far as Linking BNP to Battlecry
is a bit over the top, one should look at BNP,s store.

https://excalibur.bnp.org.uk/acatalog/audio.html

If we follow Searchlights logic we should also been accusing Led Zepplin of nazism

If we are to stamp out nazism from within the BNP, lets do it by being truthful, not resort to hysterical smear mongering, which we see from the likes of searchlights Gerry Gables.

Where do I turn? My Mother was born and raised in the UK, I've been there a few times over the years. I despise nazis, I don't hate people because of skin color. My point is, shouldn't the BNP be reformed and root out the nazi bums , then provide the Brits with a Party that is against islamic terror and the idea that is ok to be a proud British citizen ? I also don't have a problem with the White people of the UK being proud of who they are. If it is ok for the Black Citizens to have a "Black Police" group, why can't the White people do the same ? Why is it ok for lets say here in America to have "Black Entertainment Television" but not a "White Entertainment Television" ? I want equality for all. The way I see it though , when racism is allowed against White people, it's ok. That is not acceptable to me. Again I want equal justice for ALL people. As for the jihadists, I want them dead.

Shiva,
You're saying that Battlecry is not sold on the Excalibur page as this article claims?

Mississippi Mud,
Yes, I think the BNP should reform itself. Good idea.

Black racism is unacceptable. You're right, there is no White Entertainment Network. However, there are networks like USA Channel and the Disney Channel which are so dominated by whites as to be almost indistinguishable from the BET in intention.

Exactly, I have supplied the link to their music catalogue in the above comment.

Further, the claimed Dave Hannam, and a song called 'We are one's no where to be found on Excalibur

It is is no longer on their dgital store, as the offending track has been removed.

The intentions of the above article are very sinister. I have no problem that the offending track was highlighted, thus forcing the BNP to remove it from their digital site, but to imply that it was stocked by Excalibur and then revealing their location, is an incitement for vandalism, or possible fire bombing.

I support all legal and honest efforts to remove racism from the BNP. No way will I have any part in resorting to the same tactics that the BNP are accused of.

It is very dangerous to use material from spotlight

I have noticed that Lancaster Unity are now linking to this thread. Now this is not good, as they are part of Unite Against Fascism

Its chairman is the former Labour Party Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, and its joint secretaryship is shared by Weyman Bennett, a member of the central committee of the Socialist Workers Party

The Socialist Workers Party [SWP] supports the Palestinian right of return which would destroy the basis of Israel as a Jewish state and a single secular and democratic Palestinian state.

Also Britain's National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education (NATFHE) was also instrumental in creating Unite Against Fascism

(NATFHE) has approved an academic boycott on Israeli higher education institutions that do not condemn Israel's "apartheid policy." NAFTHE, which with a membership of 67,000 educators is one of the UK's largest teachers' unions, voted 106 to 71, with 21 abstentions, in favor of the boycott during a Blackpool convention.

It is not healthy t be associated to UAF, as many of its leading figures are pro islamic and very actively anti Israel

When Unite against Fascism/Love Music Hate Racism organizes such events as "Love Music Hate Islamophobia" in Westminster University, and guests first heard a discussion around "Islamophobia - the new racism" featuring a panel of guests before then enjoying a night of hip-hop music featuring a range of Muslim and non-Muslim acts.

Speakers included Labour MP Sadiq Khan, Islam Channel presenter Yvonne Ridley, it does make you think.
