The British National Party's breakthrough in the 2009 European & County Council elections is a disturbing development. We
analyse it, in terms of who voted for them, and how BNP strategy contributed to the outcome. Some dismiss the BNP as mere
beneficiaries of a protest vote--if so, why did voters not favour groups on the Left? The flip-side of BNP advance is the failure
of anti-fascist strategies to date. Searchlight front campaign Hope Not Hate is taken to task--in a way, and with insights,
you will not see anywhere else, certainly not the rigidly-controlled HNH satellite forums. We also critique Unite Against Fascism,
and conclude with radical suggestions of our own. While the liberal know-nothing media consensus was that BNP Leader Nick Griffin
was annihilated on BBC 1's Question Time in October 2009, we are not so sure. The reasons for BNP support will not go away,
and the televisual bear-baiting is unlikely to be repeated. Which is not to say we too didn't laugh at Griffin's preposterous
talk of a 'non-violent' Ku Klux Klan. Griffin is a complex character, and fascist--but is neither Nazi or stupid. Get
informed & get active.
Speaking of getting active, click here for an analysis of why the Green Party was right
to reject failed strategies and oppose both Nick Griffin and New Labour MP Margaret Hodge in Barking during the 2010 General Election.
In
this internet age when copy and paste passes for writing, clicking on Google for rigour, and tweeting on Twitter replaces dialogue,
conspiracy theorising can spread like a virus... to which NFB is the best antidote!
First, we give space to the July Seventh
Campaign, who outline their disagreement with how NFB has covered the London bombings 7/7/05. To which we respond--and leave
readers to judge who's on the planet, and who's already left...
Second, NFB exclusively interviews two former activists in the
UK 9/11 Truth Movement, Mick Meaney & Louise Evans (of RINF.com), and the results are as illuminating as they are disturbing,
especially as regards the extent of anti-semitism within the 9/11 cult.
Plots and Rumours of Plots--the mainstream media is awash
with rumours a fascist bombing campaign is potentially imminent in the UK. How likely is this? Analysing information gleaned
from recent court cases, pending trials, and our own sources, NFB gives you the low-down. Then there's Philip Luty--a case worth
looking at....
Have you heard about the Anarchist Studies Network, based at a UK university (Loughborough) that is a fully
paid-up outpost of the military industrial complex? We went along and 'felt the force', as they all looked (in vain) for Proudhon's
Dental Record. It may (or may not) be anarchism, but not as Bakunin or Kropotkin knew it...Speculation the next ASN Conference
is to be held at Guantanamo Bay University is untrue...Though if the price is right, and the funding model viable....who knows? (only
joking....)
Make Wars History--is it a legitimate grass-roots campaign, or merely the 9/11 Truth movement in another form, headed
up by ex (?) MI5 officer Ann Machon...Find out...
Last issue, we covered neo-Nazi site Redwatch: webmeister Kevin Watmough didn't
like what we said, read our reply. In similar vein (maybe) fresh news on Humpty-Dumpty, and David Shayler, currently posturing
as a Messiah near you (if you live close by Kew Gardens in London that is...mind you, did Jesus have bad teeth?).
What do people
do after the WRP? Roger Cottrell is a purveyor of fiction who likes his class forces finely 'balanced not hung' as he
engages in a spot of Taig-bashing in print...Some people find this a tad unappetising, and you may too...
Reviews are the lifeblood
of any serious publication--we have them too! Read our informed take on Sandra Uttley's 'Dunblane Unburied', Damian Thompson's'Counter-Knowledge', and the Todd/Bloch/Fitzgerald tome 'Spies Lies & The War on Terror'.
NFB wouldn't be so lovable
without blowing the odd secret state asset/operation. That tradition continues with a return to the vexed subject of the BNP's
relationship to the secret state--starting with a history of the failed 2007 plot against Nick Griffin. Individuals featured
include Sadie (Shady) Graham, Matt Single and Peter Molloy. Also, take a bow Times journalist Fiona Hamilton, who probably
hoped nobody else noticed she seems to have been comprehensively outfoxed by Griffin. Yes we did--and you can all laugh too!
A
56 page issue with something for almost everybody, including regular features 'Did They Not Like That' & 'Fancy That', as well
as updates on previous stories. However, following extensive discussion with the caring services, we repeat our advice to avoidNFB if you think political research is spending 10 minutes on the internet, 9 of those on YouTube. Lobster magazine, the trailblazing
parapolitical journal, has sadly gone--make sure NFB doesn't disappear into the Matrix by buying a copy, and back issues, then spread
the word to friends and enemies alike...
