Neo-Nazis in Germany used a personalized stamp service to create a stamp carrying the picture of Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hitler’s deputy. A spokesman for Deutsche Post confirmed the company’s embarrassing slip-up on Wednesday.

- While a young farmer appeared in court in the town on charges of murder and attempted murder, interest groups and other politicians lashed out against a Cosatu spokesperson’s “irresponsible statements”.Cosatu’s provincial secretary Solly Phetoe, in a statement this week, referred to “racist murders” after Jaco Swart, 26, shot two men in his farmhouse at about 02:00.
The initial investigation showed that Swart, who apparently slept with his bedroom door locked, had fired only one shot with his father’s licensed firearm. Both intruders presumably were hit by the same bullet. Read more »

Man faces 15 years for hateful threats |

A Modesto man who made racist threats against a black neighbor, including a promise to burn a cross on that man’s lawn, was found guilty of two felonies Monday and faces up to 15 years in prison.
Bradley Jay Smith, who suffered several seizures during a four-day trial in U.S. District Court in Fresno, was immedi- ately taken into custody. After deliberating for less than one day, 12 jurors said Smith interfered with Alfred Henderson’s housing rights and lied to a federal investigator.
In addition to the cross-burning threat, witnesses said Smith threatened to hang Henderson from a tree, sexually assault Henderson’s wife and throw a Molotov cocktail into the couple’s home. Read more »

Buchanan: Bush plays the Hitler card |

A little learning is a dangerous thing,” wrote Alexander Pope.Daily, our 43rd president testifies to Pope’s point.
Addressing the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s birth, Bush said those who say we should negotiate with Iran or Hamas are like the fools who said we should negotiate with Adolf Hitler.
“As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared, ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement. …”
Again, Bush has made a hash of history. Read more »

Diversity leads to ‘hate crimes’ in Hawaii |
| May 21st, 2008 under Race. [ Comments: 2 ]

HILO, Hawai’i — Five South Kona men accused of attacking two groups of mostly Caucasian campers at Ho’okena Beach last year in an alleged racial “hate crime” have each been indicted on assault and terroristic threatening charges.
The Kona grand jury indictments filed on May 14 allege the men selected their victims “because of hostility toward the actual or perceived race of the person.”
The state hate crimes law, passed in 2001, has rarely been employed by prosecutors. The Kona case is only the second time that law has been used on the Big Island. A spokesman for the Honolulu prosecutor, Jim Fulton, could not recall the law ever being used on O’ahu. Read more »

Student arrested for writing assignment |
| May 21st, 2008 under Race. [ Comments: 2 ]

When Steven Barber turned in his midterm creative writing assignment at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise (UVA-Wise), he was hoping for a good grade to complement his 3.9 grade point average. Instead, Barber was expelled from school, locked in a mental institution for three days, and had his concealed carry permit revoked.
Barber’s fictional story was a first person narrative of a troubled college student consumed by depression, paranoia, drug addiction, and alcoholism as he struggles with one of tragedy’s recurrent themes, “To be or not to be.” The character progresses through fear, anger, and despair; sleeping with a gun under his pillow after the Virginia Tech massacre, contemplating the murder of an unpleasant professor, and finally deciding on suicide. The entire story is just contemplation – no characters, real or fictional were harmed in the telling of the story – and Barber himself is nothing like the character he described. Read more »

In a press release issued by the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, President Ron Felton states the organization has turned down an offer made by a member of the Keystone State Skinheads to speak at an upcoming anti-hate summit.
Felton, in the release, said that allowing Steve Smith, director of the local Keystone State Skinheads chapter, to speak at the summit in June is something the NAACP “does not normally engage in for obvious reasons.” Felton said he would consult with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission about the issue because it has more expertise in dealing with these groups.

Britons leaving UK in record numbers |

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) will release figures showing that more than 200,000 Britons emigrated during 2006. That will take the total number who left the the country between 1997 and 2006 to 1.97 million. Another 1.58 million foreign nationals resident in Britain left during the same period.
However, 3.9 million foreigners arrived over the decade, including more than 500,000 in 2006.
ONS figures only go back to 1991, but some historians say the departure of two million Britons in a decade is almost unparalleled in the country’s history. MORE>>>>

Lieberman’s Attempt to Control Free Speech on YouTube Rejected |

WASHINGTON, May 20 (UPI) — Google has refused a request from U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Ind.-Conn., to remove videos produced by terrorist groups from its video-sharing site YouTube.
In a statement posted on the YouTube blog, the company said that it had taken down some of the videos identified by Lieberman’s staff because they contained hate speech, gratuitous violence or in other ways violated community standards.
“Senator Lieberman stated his belief, in a letter sent today, that all videos mentioning or featuring these groups should be removed from YouTube — even legal nonviolent or non-hate speech videos,” the statement said. “While we respect and understand his views, YouTube encourages free speech and defends everyone’s right to express unpopular points of view.”

“Bilderberg Group” Meeting Confirmed: Chantilly, VA June 5-8 |
| May 21st, 2008 under Events, Rob Chapman, Top Stories. [ Comments: 3 ]

Veteran Bilderberg sleuth Jim Tucker has confirmed via three separate sources that the Bilderberg Group will meet this year in Chantilly Virginia at the Westfields Marriott hotel from June 5-8. Tucker told The Alex Jones Show that the earlier story claiming Bilderberg had already met in Athens Greece was a possible ruse to misdirect attention from the real scene of the crime.
The Bilderberg Group comprises around 200 top elitists in government, banking, business, media and academia who meet annually in semi-secrecy and shape the destiny of the world yet are subject to little or no mainstream media scrutiny.
As we discovered last week, original reports that Bilderberg had already met in Athens Greece turned out to be incorrect after Dutch newspapers and the Dutch Embassy let slip that Netherlands Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende was set to attend Bilderberg in Chantilly after a meeting with George W. Bush.
