Paulie Has Left the Building....

.... though likely not by his own choice.

Over the last month, Facebook has been purging folks who euphemistically refer to themselves as "White Nationalists." The purge has been noted by none other than Paul Fromm himself.

Try to find Paulie online now, and you see this:

Now don't get too excited. These people are like cockroaches and they always scurry back when the lights are off (we think Goudreau has been booted from Facebook no fewer than 37 times and he always comes back).

But we so do enjoy how frustrated they get when it happens.

Hey, How DID Things Go in London, BTW?

We received a note concerning the events of last Saturday in London, ON where Blood & Honour attempted to hold a march.

Max Hynes, "Wes Smith" and Amanda Jackson

Suffice it to say, things could not have gone more poorly for them.

From one of the organizers:

The Vilification of Trayvon Martin

Our friend Dr. Dawg has referred in the past to "conservative" as not being politics, but a diagnosis. And certainly in the demonization of Trayvon Martin on the right, we are loathed to disagree with him. Smears such as the faked photos depicting Martin as a "gang banger", accusations (unfounded) that he sold drugs, and that he, not Zimmerman, was the aggressor and that Martin got what he had coming to him have proliferated the Internet as racists have attempted to smear in death Trayvon Martin.

By the way, if Martin felt threatened by Zimmerman and did put up a fight, then isn't he protected by the same law that Zimmerman is now seemingly protected by? Just a thought...

President Obama made brief mention of the case when specifically asked. A normal person might think, upon hearing what Obama said, that he was trying to comfort a grieving family while at the same time stating while he hoped that there would be an investigation, it wasn't the federal government's place to interfere. In today's hyperpartisan atmosphere though, he was accused of, "race baiting."

We'll see plenty of that ahead here in this article.

Since we focus on Canada, we thought we would focus specifically on the reaction of Canada's far right. Starting with the hyperpartisanship angle, our friends at Free Dominion attacks Obama because his campaign happens to sell hoodies as a means of fund raising for the upcoming campaign:

Yep. They're making the case that Obama is attempting to profit from the Trayvon Martin tragedy. They don't seem to realize that the Obama team has been selling this hoodie well before the shooting took place and it has nothing to do with Trayvon Martin now.

Still, if they decide to criticize Obama, perhaps they might also decide to criticize the Republican front runner:

Perhaps Duane will condemn the folks running this particular website for selling these hoodies?

Or maybe Ron Paul supporters:

Want to take bets on if the guy modelling the hoodie in the above screen shots would have been shot in the chest in Florida?

But these are the side-show.

We're going to post a representative sample of screen shots from Free Dominion's thread dealing with Trayvon Martin. If you wish, you might choose to pick your way through the entire 21 pages (as of now) of ugliness yourselves, but we decided to limit the scope and focus on a few. And while not every person posting in the thread should be described as a bigot, the entire thing is as bad as anything you might read on Stormfront, Blood & Honour, or VNN forums.

We're going to limit our commentary. Let us know what you think and if our designation of Free Dominion as a hate site is accurate or not?

Free Dominion Chimes in on Yesterday's Events

If you pick a thread on Free Dominion, it seems like the posters there are a little schizophrenic in that they will hold any view, even if it might contradict what they or others have already written, simply it seems to contradict their ideological opponents.

We now offer such an example.

Instead of posting screen shots in a linear, chronological manner, we decided to do it in such a way as to group them into distinct, but overlapping, narratives. Feel free to take a look at the original posts on their own site. We'll provide a link here, but not a direct one.

Photos from Edmonton

We had said we would post photos when they arrived. Here that we selected for inclusion on the blog:

So in all, a pretty pathetic display from the boneheads. We're not sure they were even able to muster 15, never mind the 20 - 25 as has been recounted to us.

Misinformation About the Circumstances Behind Jan Korinth's Death

While focusing on the marches in Edmonton and London, we have also been paying attention to the Jan Korinth case.

Today, CBC reported that they received an email claiming that Korinth's death was because he was targeted. The person who sent the email to CBC wrote the following:

"They ... planned to attack, no doubt because Jan was a member of Blood and Honour. It was a hate crime against our people. We will not stop until there is justice for our fallen comrade," the purported friend — who would identify himself only as Mike — said in an email to CBC News.

Right away this didn't make sense. The person who have been hit with bear spray was found in the residence while the trail of blood that led to Korinth originated at that residence to a location a number of houses away. One would then surmise that it was the person who was hit with the bear spray who was the resident of the home and that Korinth was the one who was not the resident. If the guy found at the house wasn't the legal resident, wouldn't the police have arrested him?

We immediately suspected that "Mike" was one of two things. He could be someone with no connection to Korinth at all but wanted to stir the pot. The second option is that the anonymous emailer is someone very much familiar with this sub-culture and wants to use Korinth to further some twisted goal of building racial tensions to the point where more violence might occur.

We suspect the latter.

Later this evening, another report was filed, this time by CTV which appears to confirm our position:

CTV Video of Edmonton Bonehead March and Response

Really, Kyle, why do you even bother trying to conceal your identity?

But thanks for admitting you all are a hate group. Much appreciated.

White pride demonstration in Edmonton ends quickly

The Canadian Press

Date: Sat. Mar. 24 2012 7:41 PM ET

EDMONTON — A white pride rally in Edmonton's downtown lasted only minutes when the demonstrators fled into a subway stairwell after they were greeted by over 100 anti-racist counter-protesters.

What a lovely day for a walk (with a couple hundred friends)

Just back from the anti-racist rally and march in Edmonton and I’ve got to say I’m disappointed in the best way possible. I’m sure the boneheads will claim all sorts of victory because they actually managed to get to street level for a bit (I’m not sure how long) but when you have to scurry back down into an LRT station behind a wall of police as soon as your opponents appear, that hardly seems like a victory to me. Anyway, I should probably start at the beginning.

About 200 of us gathered at End of Steel Park at noon. There were a few speakers, who were really good, but the crowd was getting restless. Intel was coming in that the boneheads were headed downtown to Churchill Square. So, we headed down Saskatchewan Drive with our police escorts, who didn’t seem to do much but stop traffic.

Across the High Level Bridge, through the Legislature grounds, down Jasper Ave to Churchill Square we went. I’m sure you folks know the drill: chant, crack jokes, have a few laughs, maybe bang on some drums. It’s generally a good time. By the time we got to Churchill Square the crowd was really loud. Tension was high. We got to the square and…

Edmonton anti-racism protesters confront white supremacists

Supremacists absent at Calgary rally, police outnumbered protesters

CBC News Posted: Mar 24, 2012 3:10 PM MT

White supremacists and anti-racism protestors confronted each other at a rally today in Edmonton.

Police gathered at the entrance to the Churchill LRT station, which they closed after a small group of white supremacists escaped into it while being pursued by protesters.

The group of about 200 began by following the white supremacist group into Sir Winston Churchill Square.

There was also an event in Calgary, where about 25 people turned up at City Hall to rally against racism.

Calgary anti-racism leader Jason Devine said the white supremacists had taken their cause to Edmonton.

The Calgary event was a lot more peaceful than in 2011 when hundreds of police were needed to keep that group away from a group of white supremacists.

This year the dozens of police outnumbered the protesters.

London Boneheads Suck At Organizing

Sent by a friend who was present at what was apparently a very poor day today for London, ON boneheads:

Just so ya know the boneheads got totally and completely mercked today. They got trapped in an underground parking lot and then scattered and sent home. More info later
