We would like to say a MASSIVE thanks to all of the bands, volunteers and punters who turned out for our benefit gig last Friday. The event was a sell-out, the bands gave it everything they had (and more!), the soundcrew kept it rocking along nicely, the crowd drank and danced from start to finish, and Bristol Antifa is considerably more financially secure as a result.

We also renewed some old acquaintances, and made some new ones too. In particular, we would like to thank those of you who offered to keep an eye out for fash activity in your own neighbourhoods – don't forget to let us know what you find out. The money and contacts should prove to be very useful over coming months as we step up our activities.

We hope that you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. Judging by the sweaty bodies and big smiles at the end of the night, it would certainly seem like it!

Austrian neo-nazi 'politician' Jörg Haider, Führer of the far-right 'Alliance For Austria's Future', admirer of Adolf Hitler and inspiration for the BNP's Nick Griffin, was killed in a car crash at the weekend. The fortunate accident happened after Haider had spent a night out on the lash (he was more than three times over the Austrian legal limit). Already, BNP supporters are talking of conspiracies involving the New World Order, Israel and Mossad, Turkish migrants, poisoned drinks, computer-assisted assassination and secret service hitmen disguised as ambulance medics as the various causes of the crash. Here's just one example from a BNP nazi nutter who goes under the name of The Green Arrow:

I think, that most thinking people believe that the "apparent" collapse and subsequent "assistance" of the world money markets has been planned for a long time.

First, to personally enrich beyond imagination, a relatively small group of individuals and secondly help bring about the New World Order which they say will be required to put "everything right again" and which these "chosen" individuals will control.

In [an interview] that was filmed just 16 days before his possible murder, Joerge Haider talks of the involvement of some of the banks involved:

"What we need, is protection from ruinous products, because in reality the banks are a big mafia which have poisoned the whole world…with these products.

By using everything (financial ideas and products) from America and today nobody wants to be responsible.

It is the small man who will suffer because he will lose his job and payment."

As you can see from the constant interruptions to Mr Haider, this kind of talk is not popular with the "elite". Couple that with all the other "truths" that the heroic Haider spoke about before his death and you can understand why the "elite" would like to see the end of him.

So just how to get rid of this man who was a major obstacle to their plans for the enslavement of the world population?

Well one of the most popular methods for killing someone without the public becoming alarmed is Assissination by car accident. Lots of people die in car accidents.

"For secret assassination, either simple or chase, the contrived accident is the most effective technique. When successfully executed, it causes little excitement and is only casually investigated." CIA Assassin's Manual

"Vehicle 'accidents' are used as a way of assassination precisely because they are such a common cause of death. It is easy for the authorities to claim that anyone crying foul play is simply a 'conspiracy theorist'". – David Shayler, Former MI5 Agent.

Airbags functioned. Roof intact. Engine not pushed back. Survivable?

[Are they looking at the same car as us?! - ed]

One of the most well known techniques for taking out a person traveling by car is "The Boston Brakes" method.

Microchip transceivers are installed into the victims vehicle enabling the assasins to take over control of the steering column and braking functions at a location and time of their choice.

The target is then put in a situation where he believes himself to be in danger and accelerates his vehicle to escape. The assassins then take control of the vehicle and the victim is doomed and if necessary are on hand to finish of the victim under the guise of giving assistance.

No doubt soon, the press will be announcing that Mr Haider was speeding, over the drink limit and also had signs of drug abuse in his blood stream.

There have been several famous cases where it is believed that the "Boston Brakes" method of murder has been used. One is the "assassination" of Major Michael Marman and the other is that of the, unwanted by some, Princess of Wales. The above video was included because it refers to the "Boston Brakes" method of murder.

Fortunately for Nick Griffin, we have people in the BNP who know of the kind of tactics employed by the agents of the New World Order and hopefully they should protect the Chairman of the British National Party. We want a live leader not a dead martyr.

Great nations are simply the operating fronts of behind-the-scenes, vastly ambitious individuals who had become so effectively powerful because of their ability to remain invisible while operating behind the national scenery.

What a bunch of loons!

It's obvious to us and anyone else with an ounce of sense that the basic problem is capitalism and class. We don't need to go much further than that in explaining the root causes of much of the crap we have to deal with, but it's not enough for the fruitloop fascists. Anyone who keeps an eye on the rantings of the far-right beyond their fragile public image will know that they're very fond of crackpot theories and extreme paranoia, which is why their politics are so insane and they keep falling out with each other.

But the simple fact is, as well as making bad politicians, nazis make bad drivers (Ian Stuart, Violent Storm etc etc). Haider was going at twice the speed limit in a powerful car while pissed up. He overtook another vehicle, lost control and took himself out of the gene pool. It doesn't take a genius to work out that it's just another case of what happens when you put a drunk moron behind the wheel.

Here's hoping that Griffin meets a similar fate in his 'Lie Lorry'.

The far-right in Bristol are presently weak and disorganised. Years of political and physical opposition in the 90's ensured that they could not operate in any meaningful way. The after-effects of that anti-fascist work are still being felt by them today.

But that does not mean that our job is done. As the present system lurches from crisis to crisis, with the bosses and politicians huddling ever-closer together to protect their own interests at the expense of ours, the working class are left to take the full force of the failures of capitalism. And the far-right are exploiting this political and economic assault on our class. By presenting themselves as some kind of radical alternative to this madness, they are seeking to take advantage of our misery for their benefit. The reality is that fascist politics, whether from the 'respectable' BNP or their knuckle-dragging mates in Combat 18 and the like, are violently anti-working class. Their ideology can best be summed up by that old expression 'divide and conquer'. Rest assured, fascism offers us nothing.

Bristol Antifa are working hard to ensure that the BNP cannot re-establish themselves in our city. We aren't going to pretend that this will be easy, particularly given the state of society and the willingness of 'our' politicians to screw us over at every opportunity. But we will use whatever resources we have to step up to the challenge.

To do this as effectively as we can, we need information about fascists and fascist activity in your area. Antifa supporters live and work in the communities that the BNP are likely to try and target in the coming months. Although we are aware of many of the people involved with nazi politics in Bristol, we also know that things can change pretty quickly. If you see or hear of fascists trying to organise in your community, don't ignore it. Tell your friends, family and workmates and remind them that nazi politics are not our politics. Stand together and let the fascist goons know in no uncertain terms that they're not welcome on our doorsteps. And please pass any information on to Bristol Antifa. We will work with you to make sure that the fascists have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide if they dare to show their ugly faces.

Capitalism in crisis? Fascism is no solution!

Despite claims to the contrary by the bosses, bankers and bureaucrats, capitalism is a chaotic ideology built on smoke and mirrors. And the economic turmoil that we're facing today is not a blip in an otherwise stable system, it is the nature of the beast. The ongoing crisis in capitalism is familiar to many of us, and the present madness should act as a wake-up call to working class people everywhere. For the vast majority of us across the globe, the 'good times' are nothing but temporary periods of relative calm in the raging capitalist storm.

The failure of the political puppets of this insane system (like the LibLabConspiracy in the UK) to look after our interests, even as they unite to defend and protect their own, is plain for all to see. While we have suffered for centuries at the hands of the capitalist class, as soon as their interests are threatened they hurriedly band together to bail themselves out of their own mess. And it's us that pay the price as they bleed us ever harder to make up for what they may lose. It's like some kind of perverse socialism for the few at the expense of the many.

Meanwhile, the BNP claim that they are an alternative for the white working class to this crappy capitalist society. They offer the crudest of lies as 'solutions' to the problems our class face, regardless of our colour; lies that, if we believe them, would ultimately see us mistrusting, fighting and killing each other for the crumbs thrown from their table.

Not enough houses? Blame the immigrants, conveniently ignoring the facts that there are hundreds of thousands of empty properties in the hands of private landlords, that property speculators profit from controlling the supply, that estate agents are thieving scum who make money from something that should be a basic right, and that working class people know how to create and build – all we need are the land and resources that the ruling class have stolen from us over the centuries!

Not enough jobs? Blame the immigrants, conveniently ignoring the facts that unemployment suits the interests of the capitalists as we fight and undercut each other for the right to be their wage slaves, that working for a paltry pay packet while the fat cats rake in the profits from our labour is not in our best interests, and that a world where the workload was based solely on meeting our needs and desires and shared out fairly would mean that most of our time would be free to spend however we choose.

Not enough whatevers? Blame the immigrants, conveniently ignoring the facts that show time and again that it is capitalism that is at the root of our problems.

And if fascists like the BNP ever gain power they'll carry on spewing out these lies, while they get on with robbing us blind from right under our noses, stealing our wealth, our planet and our lives to satisfy their bare-faced greed and addiction to power. In that respect they're very much like every other bunch of slimy two-faced politicians, they'd just do it to a much greater degree!

BNP: Bigots. Nazis. Politicians?

The ruling class already use fear as a tactic to keep us isolated from each other. While we slave for them and fight among ourselves, they continue to profit from our blood and sweat. The fascists of the BNP, just like the fascists of the Taliban and Hitler's Third Reich, would only make things a thousand times worse for us. They will try anything to con us into voting for them, to get us to believe that our interests lie with them and their kind. Yet we, as working class people, have so much more in common with each other than we will ever have with these corrupt power whores. Now, more than ever, we must remember that.

The failure of capitalism to look after all of our needs is obvious for all to see. The solution is definitely not to vote for the most extreme version of it! The problems that we face, as ordinary people, will only be solved when we come together to take back what is rightfully ours, when we run this world for the benefit of all, not the few. We must learn from each other, organise together and stand as one as we march towards a future that can and will be ours.

The one thing the fascists fear more than anything else is a strong and united working class, smashing down the false ideologies of nation, religion and race that they prey upon. Let's give them every reason to fear.
