Lobster, issue 24. The 'Gable Memorandum'.
League Sentinel, issue 31, 'Not Guilty!' - Searchlight lies about
an alleged attempt to overthrow the new South African Government exposed.
Searchlight's evidence came from Ronald Deuster, a gun-running rapist;
issue 34, article 'Behind Enemy Lines' Gable and Searchlight in general.
'THE OTHER FACE OF SEARCHLIGHT' (1989):
On Gable:
"He is certainly no friend of the Palestinian cause - not only is
he a self-confessed Zionist, but one of his sons is serving in the
Israeli army helping to suppress the Intifada in occupied Palestine
(reference: Jewish Chronicle 23/10/87)"
"At his 1964 trial, he admitted that he had hoped to find information
in Irving's flat which he could pass on (presumably for a fee) to
the Special Branch".
"..Anarchy magazine (no. 36) went further, saying that the memo gives
"clear, hard evidence that he has also engaged in a two-way traffic
of information with the security services of several countries and
acted as a conduit of misinformation for MI5 against fellow journalists,
and socialists"..." The memo in question was one of a series sent
to colleagues on the London Programme and in true Searchlight/SET
style "mixes up some actual facts with a number of half-truths and
outright lies to "link" the Young Liberals, Cubans, Palestinian and
German terrorists, contributors to Time Out, the London Co-Op and
the KGB, in an all-encompassing conspiracy." (Memo reprinted in Lobster
#24 - mid 1990's)
On Manny Carpel:
At his trial for the 1980 arson of a printworks, "In mitigation,
his defence counsel, Leonard Krickler, claimed that Carpel had in
the past helped the Special Branch in the Midlands and Birmingham."
DIRECT ACTION. Anarchist journal. (October 1988):
"while it is understood that mistakes can be made, Searchlight's cavalier
attitude to facts is becoming all too common!...DA advises its readers
to treat stories in Searchlight with a large pinch of salt."
A LIE TOO FAR by Larry O'Hara (1993):
Intro by Green Anarchist editor: "...Searchlight's pages are largely
a concoction of sectarian gossip from Left, Right and the secret state,
rumour, supposition and spite."
COLUMN 88. National Socialist Movement journal. (May 1998):
On Sonia Gable:
"I recall pagan Sonia, a devoted Odinist, speaking in support of a
resolution at the NF AGM opposing the fluoridation of the public water
supply with the warning that this was a ploy by the government to
dull the wits of white people and undermine our ability to think strongly
in opposing those who manipulate our lives. "Do what is natural!"
was her closing line - impressive - if I had not witnessed the earlier
incident with Steve Brady."
On Searchlight:
If Column 88 were to list black and Asian activists and crimes, publicising
black home addresses, contacting employers over matters of political
allegiance and generally publish a mix of lies under the blanket of
a few truths to support a version of affairs so distorted as to arouse
the wrath and financial support if the otherwise ignorant, Searchlight
would be demanding jail sentences immediately. That Searchlight can
escape such censure, whilst employing the equivalent of such consciously
selective journalism, does not make it any the less of a hate sheet.
For the prejudices in the pages of Searchlight are every bit as extreme
as any of those on the 'right' it so righteously condemns."
TIOCFAIDH AR LA! Glasgow Celtic 'anti fascist' fanzine. (Issue 18
- late 1990's date unknown):
"Searchlight is a Zionist, right wing, 'anti fascist' magazine well
known for 'outing' fascists which has in the past called for MI5,
Special Branch and the powers of the PTA to be utilised 'in the struggle
against fascism'!" (Ed: PTA = Prevention of Terrorism Act, a draconian
piece of legislation).
BLACK FLAG Anarchist paper. (Autumn 1993):
Under the heading 'SECURITY ALERT':
"...There is a man who has been involved to various degrees in the
anti-fascist movement for many years now who is known to be a police
informer and by his own admission has contacts in the security services.
He does not tolerate criticism lightly and resorts to smears and lies
when confronted with evidence contrary to his own. He produces a magazine
which devotes a liberal amount of space to attacking anti-fascists
and anarchist/left wing organisations. His name is Gerry Gable and
his publication is Searchlight."
"...Some of the evidence comes from Searchlight's mole in the BNP,
Tim Hepple, who also tried infiltrating groups on the left - for Gable,
or the police, or both?"
SEARCHLIGHT, HEPPLE, HILL, O'HARA AND SCARGILL
Searchlight produced a booklet 'At War With Society' (AWWS) all about
the infiltration of the BNP and the Church of the Creator by Tim Hepple.
Larry O'Hara pre-empted this by publishing 'A Lie Too Far' about Hepple's
infiltration of the right and the left (e.g. Autonomy, Green Anarchist
etc.) and especially his framing of Class War activist Tim Scargill
as a "State agent". After AWWS came out, O'Hara answered with 'At
War With the Truth'.
Whilst we do not automatically hold up everything O'Hara says as 'the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth', it does seem glaringly
obvious that State agent Hepple passed on 'duff' BNP membership lists
to Scargill who published them. Searchlight then attacked Scargill
as a 'nark' - even though it was 'their' Hepple who was touting the
lists in the first place (Hepple tried to get Green Anarchist to print
them too).
Searchlight also attacked Scargill for his "fascist" past, whilst
Hepple and Ray Hill are praised for 'leaving' their "fascist" pasts.
In short, there do seem to be glaring double standards.
In closing we at FC can't leave the matter of Scargill and O'Hara
without covering some basics.
SCARGILL
Firstly Scargill goes on about wanting to recruit "fascists" to anarchism
(just as he "saw the light"...) and yet he was prepared to print Hepple's
list which contained the addresses of at least two elderly Nationalists
that we know of. Scargill seems happy to set up Nationalist OAPs for
assault and still has the gall to talk about wanting to 'convert'
Nationalists! It's all a bit rum.
O'HARA
O'Hara tried to pass himself off as a genuine and honest researcher
when he approached Nationalists, when he first appeared on the scene.
In letters to 'ex' National Front activists (and doubtless other Nationalists)
he sought information on many matters and even offered to pay "costs".
Some stupid people in Nationalist organisations even met up with him
and gave him documents which were supposed to be 'internal' such as
Cadre News and internal minutes from the 'Political Soldier NF' (thanks
Harrington!). We know some of the people he met and corresponded with
were connected with groups from right across the Nationalist spectrum
(from NR Faction to the National Democrats).
We should not forget that O'Hara is an enemy of Nationalism. He wants
to 'expose' Nationalists and possibly replace Searchlight. He claims
to 'tell the truth' - but if dodgy evidence is put his way by State
assets (within the left or right), he will use it against Nationalists.
We know he already has used, and plans to use more of, such dubious
"information".
One case was when he published some material against the Third Position.
He quoted from Troy Southgate who used to be involved but left the
TP for personal reasons, taking a few people with him (since when
most have dropped out or returned to the TP). O'Hara printed his attack
on TP "leaders" in London. But of the three people named as "leaders"
only one was in London. Thus, propaganda from an unstable individual
with an axe to grind is printed by O'Hara as "fact" (and not for the
first, nor the last time).
O'Hara moans that because the Third Position (unlike others) won't
contact him he has to use what he can get. But why should someone
contact an enemy so they can defame you - even if that defamation
is more 'reasonable' (sometimes) than that used by Searchlight? And
why should O'Hara print unsustainable stories from political opponents
as "fact" and then embellish them with his own theories - even the
Robin Ramsey at Lobster has cautioned him about such nonsense. Lies
are lies, theory is theory, however it appears.
When the history of the Movement is written - it will be written by
us - not by a Socialist enemy of Nationalism!
Quite why certain Nationalists feel the need to give him information
is beyond us at FC! He may be an enemy of Searchlight and useful as
a thorn in their side. But - BE WARNED - he is no friend of ours!
Those who have helped O'Hara are just as guilty as those who have
helped Searchlight.
SEARCHLIGHT - THE REAL EXTREMISTS
IF YOU HAPPEN upon an issue of Searchlight, you'll be amazed to read
that this journal is a bulwark of democracy and stands against the
political extremes! It's all a lie! It's clear that Searchlight has
always been and still is linked with the Communist Party. It also
maintains links with the SWP's Anti Nazi League and others of a dubious
nature.
Take the April 1994 issue of Searchlight. On the back page is an advert
for the Anti Nazi League, but more insidious is the listing 'Anti
Fascist fightback' (formerly entitled 'Anti-Fascist Action contact
addresses'), under which are local 'anti-racist' addresses - mostly
those of AFA. This was run for many issues (at least from Feb 93 until
April 94). But better still is a freebie advert on the back of the
April 1988 issue of Searchlight which urges their readers to "Join
Anti-Fascist Action" with AFA's address in London. The same issue
of Searchlight had the gall to condemn the 'Political Soldier' NF
for an interview in 'Nationalism Today' with an Italian framed and
jailed by the corrupt Italian "justice" system for a crime he did
not commit. Given AFA's credentials as open supporters (and doers)
of bombings, this hypocrisy is just incredible!
For those not in the know, AFA are extremists led by Red Action and
Direct Action. RA were kicked out of the SWP in 1982 for being too
extreme. They are violent Marxists unequivocal in their support of
the IRA and its bombing of civilian targets. Indeed, two of their
members have been jailed (in a much publicised case) for planting
bombs for the IRA in Central London.
In the June 1988 issue of Searchlight (No. 156) the regular column
'AFA in Action' applauds the AFA's efforts to stop 'Flag' NF organiser
Mark Cotterill from holding activities. Nothing wrong there you might
think. But this and other Searchlight material resulted in a doorstep
attack with a knife and an iron bar by 'anti fascists' Richard Hansbury
and Richard Heyes on Mr. Cotterill which resulted in him being rushed
to hospital for facial injuries. Searchlight can claim another victim
in its long, "proud tradition".
That a journal standing for 'law and order' (ahem!) against criminal
"fascists" that is constantly asking for stricter laws and has made
no attempt to hide the two way flow of information from the police
(Special Branch/MI5) to/from Searchlight should publicly back such
violent Marxists would be beyond belief if one wasn't aware of the
criminal background of virtually everyone involved with Searchlight.
Other leftists (notably anarchists) have bemoaned the fact that Searchlight
only assisted AFA as long as Red Action were at the helm, so maybe
there is some sort of police-Searchlight-Red Action-IRA link- up with
one or more of them spying on the others? If the State has been behind
recent 'violent' "neo-nazis" is it so weird for them to be behind
'violent' Marxists?
But who are AFA? In their magazine 'Fighting Talk' they constantly
carp on about attacking Nationalists and beating them physically -
on the streets, in their homes and at work. This is something Searchlight
clearly doesn't shy away from. In one case they (AFA) bumped into
some football fans at a train station and ran away. The account changed
in 'Fighting Talk' - the Nationalists were "run" all over the place.
Hmmm.
So what sort of materials do they sell through the Searchlight sanctioned
Fighting Talk? How about T-Shirts showing injured Nationalists and
Protestant Orangemen? Or the records 'F### Fascism' by The Oppressed
or 'Nazi Punks F### Off' by Napalm Death? (More tea vicar?) Or the
charming sticker 'Who the F### are the BNP? (by Plymouth AFA - yet
again, address in Searchlight). Just the sort of thing a Charity should
endorse.
And Searchlight's promotion of Red Action's AFA is kindly reciprocated.
In issue 71 of the paper 'Red Action' (Summer '95) Searchlight and
Ray Hill are quoted as experts on fascism and Charlie Sargent's C18
in particular (same handler Gerry?), this a full two years after Green
Anarchist had gone public on Searchlight's role in undermining
the left-wing in Britain. The same issue of Red Action is full of
the usual IRA propaganda "...the IRA and Sinn Fein refuse to have
anything to do with them [fascists] and continue to denounce fascism
and racism" (indeed, SF's only MP in the Irish parliament, Caoimhghín
Ó Caoláin, put out a statement on the 13/1/98, reprinted in the FC
daily e-mail newsletter - issue 280, 20th January 1998, welcoming
non-White immigrants into Ireland, promoting the Refugee Act and condemning
racism: "We live in a multi-cultural Ireland. That enriches us all."
blah blah...). Indeed, Red Action's only gripe with Searchlight was
the latter's insistence that 'nazis' and 'republicans' are linked
(RA #71), Searchlight printed a photo of Dave Holland, according to
them, the boss of the Southern White Knights, wearing a Sinn Fein
baseball cap. Mind you, Gable also claims to have conducted an in-depth
investigation into "possible links between the National Front and
the Soviet Union" (ref. Jewish Gazette 14/11/86) - who mentioned conspiracy?
The Observer said Gable is "a conspircay theorist who could spot Nazi
architecture in a kindergarten sandpit".
Maybe the link between Searchlight and AFA can be explained by a letter
in 'Fighting Talk' #5 (mid 1990's?). The letter is from an ex-62 Group
activist and is full of praise for AFA's violence. Remember, the 62
Group was run from Harry Bidney's Limbo Club. So the fan-club of Bidney,
the pimp, homosexual paedophile and criminal grows... What a surprise!
In recent times even AFA and Searchlight have "fallen out", despite
Gable sharing the dock with Red Action's leader, Gary O'Shea, for
violence, in May 1991, against a mainly elderly audience at a League
of St George meeting with Jeffrey Hamm, one of Mosley's right hand
men. Nationalists were held by RA members and beaten and tortured
during this incident, though (to escape prosecution) Gable claims
to have helped Hamm and tried to stop the violence - and if you believe
that, you'll believe anything! It would seem that even Red Action/AFA
have had just about enough of Searchlight's lies and obvious links
to the Secret State.
---
Searchlight are "one of the leading influences within the anti-fascist
movement in this country" - AFA's Fighting Talk #17, Sept. 1997. You
scratch my back and I'll scratch yours? A case of the criminal fraternity
covering up for each other? The more you look at the murky world of
Searchlight the more corruption, filth and lies you uncover.
Attitude - the journal of Leeds AFA which operates from the same address
as Northern Star the pro-homosexual magazine - printed adverts for
Searchlight in its Summer 93 and Spring 94 edition (and others presumably)
in reciproc- ation for their address being in Searchlight. This is
after the Green Anarchist exposé of Searchlight. How can Searchlight
attack others as "extremist"?
# LATE NEWS # NB: In an important development AFA have now disbanded their
own branches in Leeds and Huddersfield for spreading disinformation on
anti-fascists and Nationalists. These branches were under the control of
Searchlight people. AFA now state that Searchlight are following a sinister
agenda.
O'HARA AND GABLE - COMRADES IN DISINFORMATION
AN EXAMPLE of how O'Hara often repeats or continues the disinformation
pushed by Searchlight - and other disreputable sources - is the smear
against the Third Position regarding Julius Evola. Searchlight have
pushed this outright lie many times (e.g. Issue 271, January 1998)
and O'Hara printed it in issue 1 of his 'Notes From the Borderland'
(NFB) Issue 1, Winter 97-98. It goes like this: "Ironically, the spirituality
of the ITP owes far more to the Italian pagan and occultist Julius
Evola, who criticised Mussolini from the Right..." (NFB).
This is cobblers. The Third Position does not sell nor recommend any
of Evola's works. Even FC, which sells historical works not published
by the Third Position would not sell anything by Evola.
Can O'Hara back this claim up with anything grounded in truth? Does
anything the Third Position has printed, internationally, nationally
or locally, portray Evola as one of our ideological forebears?
The Third Position sells (and has sold) works about and by Codreanu,
José Antonio, Hilaire Belloc, Cecil Chesterton, G.K. Chesterton, A.K.
Chesterton, Saunders Lewis, Cobbett, Penty, Irving, Fahey, Hearne,
Tolkein and others.
Surely if Evola were so important he would merit a book or two, the
odd mention here and there, a badge or a poster, even a photo or picture
in a journal every now and then? No, sorry folks... there isn't any.
This is just a figment of O'Hara's fevered imagination, and a further
example of how O'Hara is not always the "expert" he claims to be.
Even FC has published material on Mussolini and Mosley in an attempt
to learn from the Fascist movement of yesteryear (not that the TP
are a Fascist movement - it has always been Distributist; but we at
FC are proud to wear the "Fascist" slur thrown at us by idiots who
don't even know what one is! Like 'political incorrectness' it has
become a badge of office - an honour bestowed on those who fight the
New World Order, if you will). Nothing has appeared about Evola.
In fact O'Hara is loathe to admit this himself. In one part of his
smear in the first issue of NFB he says "While Evola does not now
feature on ITP booklists" - giving the impression he once did - he
later says "...the unacknowledged but massive ideological debt owed
by the ITP to Evola". How sad Larry! Research would show you that
the Third Position has never featured his works and that the TP does
not have a "massive debt" - ideological or otherwise. Indeed, in the
Spring 98 issue of Gazeta de Vest, the forward to Codreanu's The Prison
Notes is reprinted. Printed for the first time in English by The Legionary
Press, The Prison Notes' forward attacks Evola (along with Schuon,
Guénon and Muti) for being "syncretist... New Age", "poisonous rubbish"
and Freemasonic. It is compared to the writings of Codreanu and Sima:
"...the Legionary Movement was Christian and Christian alone...".
These aren't the words of an 'Evolan fan club'! (It has already been
attacked by 'Evolans' in Europe).
As with Searchlight, O'Hara has an ongoing agenda - and it is to damage
Nationalism whenever he can, whether subtly or not.
Post Script: In the September 1997 issue of Gazeta de Vest (English
edition - available from FC for £2) there is an article on Evola which
heavily criticises him for his anti-Christian works, but points out
that far from 'dwelling' in occultism, he moved through it (hence
some books 'midway' which admire Christianity and Christendom, but
which promote paganism) and later forbade the republishing of his
'occultist' works, (e.g. Pagan Imperialism - 1928, which he admitted
in his autobiography was published under the influence of Freemasons).
In conversation with GV's editor it became clear that as a result
of this, in his last days Evola found peace with Christianity. Whilst
we welcome this, FC (and we dare say the TP) could never promote Evola
because so many of his (self) forbidden books are promoted by idiots
who should know better (or those with ulterior motives).
Post Script II: In the August 1998 edition of 'The Nexus', a New Zealand
Satanist political fanzine, there is an interview with Troy Southgate,
the leader (oooh - how despotic, Comrade - isn't that what you claim
to have left the TP over?) of the 'NR Faction' which now embraces
Black Metal, anarchism (though as a truly schizo bloke he still pushes
Guilds - which his anarchist chums have attacked) and a bastardised
version of the TP's position (and Southgate offers some ideas nicked
straight from the TP Handbook - including the workers' Guilds!). Southgate,
quite happily, quotes from Evola. He says the NRF "adhere to the
birth-death-renewal
cycle" - along with other pseudo-nonsense, and holds up "occultists
such as Guido von List" (his words!) and the Freemason Gabriele d'Annunzio
for adoration. Southgate and his one or two hangers on are occultists.
They say that themselves. They have a debt to Evola's Masonic inspired
works. The Third Position does not.
GREEN AND BROWN ANARCHIST
A SUPERB EXAMPLE of Searchlight 'Black Propaganda' (disinformation)
is 'The Green and Brown Anarchist' (no date - mid 1990s?) - Brown
for the National Socialist Brownshirts of the 1930's. This two sided
A4 leaflet served a number of important interests for Searchlight.
Firstly it attacked their enemies at Green Anarchist. It linked them
with "nazis", the ITP, the 'New Right' and crazy views which twist
ruralism into some sort of obscene death cult. It also attacked the
International Third Position, linking them with pro-holocaust views
(linked in with population explosion/control extreme views - something
we've exposed as a hoax in FC) and (again! - take note Mr. O'Hara
- ever been taken in?) Evolan paganism (gnosticism etc.)
Its address was 'Green Action Network, Box 88, Magdalen College,
Oxford.' Oxford is the traditional base for Green Anarchist. So 'GA'
can be the fictitious Green Action - or the very real Green Anarchist,
such are the schoolboy antics of Gable and co.
The leaflet promoted the utterly barmy idea of death camps, and a
population cull to avoid world overcrowding. It mentioned a 'GA Cadre'
(Cadre is a term associated with Third Positionist/'Political Soldier'
Nationalism). It has a dig at O'Hara ('Fat Boy' O'Haw-Haw) and claims
he "...is our link man with various progressive tendencies that have
transcended their far-Right origins, such as Derek Holland's International
Third Position." and goes on to say he is their protector as he supplies
names and addresses of enemies. "Thanks to 'Fat Boy' O'Haw-Haw the
Cadre of GA has twenty-four hour protection against the machinations
of Stella Rimington and MI5".
So not only is Derek Holland made out to be the leader of the Third
Position, but O'Hara is a "nazi" collaborater, promoter of attacks
on Nationalists and some St. Michael-style protector against the State.
This is typical of Searchlight's method of putting disinformation
with subtle digs and outright micky-taking. As the Third Position
is one of the few organisations to have totally rejected all of O'Hara's
attempts at contact, this "link" is a bit much!
Quite what Searchlight hoped to gain from this piece of pure fiction
is hard to work out. From first sight it stinks to high heaven of
Zionist/State 'Black Propaganda'. The only good Searchlight can hope
to achieve is to fill it full of such wild innuendo, that perhaps
some of the milder nonsense might stick.
Obviously this is the sort of propaganda Searchlight puts out from
time to time which bears no imprint from themselves. They get in enough
trouble for the nonsense they print already! Outrageous garbage like
this - which activists like us know they're behind - would simply
be too much for some of the liberal bleeding hearts and idiot journalists
that read Searchlight, hence the secrecy.
ALEXANDER BARON
MR. BARON is a political researcher who has taken Gerry Gable to court
and won (despite Gable asking Searchlight readers, over many issues,
for any 'dirt' on Baron - e.g. August 1996, no. 254), to the tune
of £5,000. Gable also had to print an apology to Baron in Searchlight
(issue unknown). He is not a Nationalist by any stretch of the imagination
and some may regard him as a "strange cookie" (he's written in defence
of the BNP, Orthodox Judaism and Islam), but his research on Searchlight
and the people around it generally turns up interesting facts that
some people would wish remained uncovered.
In return for taking Gable to court, Baron has been hospitalised by
unknown assailants, been arrested, had his house searched and was
'set up' by the police ("one of Gable's bent copper friends" - Baron)
- only to be aqcuitted at Southwark Crown Court (unlike so many Searchlight
criminals!).
What's interesting about this is that whereas normally something involving
a non-Nationalist political activist (let's face it we Nationalists
can have anything thrown at us and it's ok by all sections of the
media even "anti-State radicals" [sic] if they mention it at all!)
being beaten up, harrassed by the police and fitted up for a court
case, especially after accusing an MI5/Special Branch front group
(or stool pigeons) and winning, would be commented on in the press
- or at least by someone like Paul Foot (the SWP honcho) in Private
Eye. But not in this case. Interesting...
The main gripe against Mr. Baron is, along with the facts and old
clippings he digs out, he also has a 'thing' about printing material
which isn't for family consumption which puts a lot of people off
reading or believing the good stuff he uncovers.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
SEARCHLIGHT HAS a love of printing names, home addresses, work place
details and other information designed to bring trouble to anyone
connected with Nationalism.
They have been condemned for this by officialdom on at least one occasion
(see boxed quote - The Real Face of Searchlight - on page 8).
However, there have been other occasions which have probably been
just as embarrassing for Searchlight. Under a heading 'Whoops, sorry'
in Ray Hill's (yes, it's that criminal again!) column in the March
1993 edition of Searchlight, it was explained how Searchlight had
printed information about one Barry Osbourne who worked as a housing
officer for the London Borough of Newham. Barry Osbourne was a BNP
candidate in the 1992 local elections in East London. Unfortunately
the Mr. Osbourne at Newham council was a different person!
Criminal Ray Hill apologised "unreservedly" to the council and Mr.
Osbourne (and said "we" - i.e. Searchlight as a whole - were "stupid"
not to check the facts). One can only begin to imagine the treatment
Mr. Osbourne got at the hands of non-Whites in multi-racial Newham!
But this doesn't seem to have deterred Searchlight from this highly
dubious activity.
There was another case when an apolitical friend of NF activist Phil
Andrews in Middlesex, was named Derek Holland. Searchlight ran a story
about the "NF chief", of the same name, living in "West London", again,
without checking the truth of the story. Again, they had to apologise.
Setting up Nationalists - regardless of their age, sex or possible
disabilities - is bad enough. Setting up total "innocents" as Searchlight
clamour for more "insider news" and exposés against "fascists" is
just unbelievable (or would be if the criminal and shady nature of
the Searchlight clique weren't known).
We just hope one day there's a Nationalist called Tony Blair, Terry
Wogan, Billy Bragg, Des Lynam or Michael Owens! Ho ho ho!
"EVIL FINAL CONFLICT"
In closing, we shall mention that we expect the usual rubbish from
Searchlight. Doubtless they'll run some scare story about FC, the
Third Position, terrorism, MI5, MI6, Libya, Mossad, the Vatican, Croatia,
the SS, UDA, IRA and even Mr. Whippy! We know that many people look
upon FC as "nasty racists", but that doesn't detract from all the
evidence in this brief look at Searchlight, the criminals behind it
and its shadowy backers.
Whether or not Searchlight denounce us as "fascists" (the BNP have!) and
others as "fascist collaboraters", political novices etc.
it is undeniable that a great volume of evidence exists which proves
that Searchlight is a criminal gang spreading disinformation about
people and organisations right across the political spectrum and that
the Searchlight Educational Trust is continuing in this "proud tradition".
Violence, lies, pimps, homosexuals, paedophiles, agent provacateurs,
anti-semites, Zionists and a registered charity! If that isn't material
for the News of the World to jump on - then what is?
No doubt 'Fleet Street' will remain quiet though. That doesn't mean
political activists of all kinds shouldn't. Searchlight is bad news.
Don't read it. It exists to spread disinformation. Certainly NEVER
buy it. Do you want your money going to help expose more people whom
Searchlight dislike? You never know; Nationalist, Pro-Lifer, Anarchist,
Anti-Zionist, Black, Socialist, Arab... Next time it could be you
at the end of a Special Branch disinformation sting, courtesy of Searchlight!
CLARIFICATION - IT IT'S NEEDED
We would like to reiterate that we do not agree with most of the people
who have spoken out against Searchlight to one degree or another -
except on their opposition to Searchlight. Third Way are pro-homosexual;
Larry O'Hara is anti-Nationalist and (wittingly or otherwise) has
printed fabrications about the Nationalist cause; the 'NSM' contains
people who have attacked FC in the past; Alexander Baron uses material
that verges on being pornographic and would do far better if his material
stayed serious and sober; the various anarchist, left wing and right
wing journals and organisations that have exposed Searchlight as liars
or worse would doubtless see Final Conflict as ideologically opposed
to them.
RIOT A "HIGHLIGHT"
WHEN THE entire liberal establishment and various Marxist rent-a-mobs
organised a march against the BNP headquarters on the 16th of October
1993, 40,000 people (that's the left's figure!) joined the demonstration
- bussed from all parts of the country with the backing of trade unions,
Jewish groups, MPs, MEPs, rich pop stars, students and a throng of
other hangers-on. (NB: This mass mobilisation pales in significance
to the more recent rallies to defend the countryside in London - and
there was no violence at them!). Searchlight had plugged the event
(e.g. October 1993 issue - which also showed 'anti fascists' gloating
near illegal grafitti on the front of the BNP's HQ - Charity Commission
take note; in the same issue is a plug for a SET conference).
Anyway, on the 16th of October with so many criminals present - including
Searchlight people - it was obvious that violence would break out.
And it did!
Peoples' front garden walls were taken apart to provide ammunition
to hurl at anything and anyone. Various Marxists, anarchists and other
druggy drop-outs churned up peoples' gardens, smashed windows and
cars as they fought against the people of Welling by destroying their
property.
Imagine if this were a Nationalist demonstration? Hundreds would have
been arrested and Searchlight would be screaming for more arrests,
dawn raids and more...
So how did the left react? In the same old way: "Oh great march -
shame about police brutality". Some didn't even mention the violence.
Thug, fraudster and criminal Ray Hill called it an "encouraging highlight"
to the year in his column in Searchlight (January 1994 edition)! Maybe
he was one of the masked bullies terrorising South East London that
day?
What a surprise to find Searchlight linked - yet again - with criminal
activities.
WANTED
