I was just poking around looking at the domain name record of the new nazi site in Washington, and I laughed out loud when I read the keywords that they've chosen for the site:



This immediately brought the following question to mind: Who do the nazis think will come to Washington State to visit pretend fascists? The image that jumped into my head:



"From deep in the remote hills of Austria, the pure Aryan volk come out to Washington State to visit the plucky little nazis and give them some encouragement. They also brought large amounts of schnitzel and saurkraut."



Don't they just look so cute in lederhosen?

Evidently, Olympia is a hotbed of occult activity. I had no idea. Check it out:



OK. There are some other things going on. Go here to find like-minded souls.

Hey! Do you think we could get the witches to put a spell on the Nazis that would make them less hateful?

True to form, the NSM regional site now states that April 2 in Olympia won't happen, April 20 for Hitler's Birthday will happen in Olympia.

We've seen these games before. Wise to be alert this weekend, come to meeting if interested.

As for games, wouldn't chess be more enjoyable?

Police: Someone shooting at cars driving on State Avenue

In the Breaking News section of Olympian:

Police: Someone shooting at cars driving on State Avenue

BY JENNIFER LATSON

THE OLYMPIAN

A shooter with a high-powered BB gun hit at least three cars driving down State Avenue this morning, shattering windows on two and denting a third.

One shot struck the back window of a car near a child in the back seat.

Olympia police are looking for a suspect they think shot from in or near the apartment building on the corner of State and Bethel Street at about 10:30 a.m. It’s the second time this week a BB gun has been used to shoot at cars on State Avenue, according to Police Cmdr. Tor Bjornstad.

Police have no suspects so far.

This Sunday, April 2nd, the National Socialist Movement (main nazi group in U.S.) has announced they are having a rally in Sylvester Park at 2 P.M. The National Socialist Movement (NSM) is calling their rally in support of Rachel Corrie. Their trying to tie themselves to Rachel is obscene and unacceptable. Rachel was very committed to fighting anti-semitism.

There will be a community meeting tomorrow, Friday, March 31st at  6 P.M. to plan a response to the NSM rally on Sunday. We will be meeting at the Olympia Free School, 610 Columbia (by Legion).  Hope you can make it.

This is an article about the situation surrounding the Duke lacrosse team:

BET

It will be interesting to see:

A. Whether the rape was committed by members of the lacrosse team

and

B. If it does go to court, where the trial would be held.

If the players are proven to be innocent (whether by DNA-sample or court), I think a lot of people are going to be eating crow for a long time, starting with the president (who would probably end up resigning in such a scenario) down to the editor of the student paper and campus activists.

It's one thing to talk about someone having done a crime and essentially convicting them in the court of public opinion. It's another to be holding rallies, posting their names and pictures, and other measures which could easily be interpreted as intimidation tactics.

Is no holiday or artwork safe from the critical eye of Neo-Nazis?

The National Socialist Movement on their regional web site is running an announcement at the moment that they will be rallying in Olympia at Sylvester Park at 2PM this Sunday, which is April 2nd.

The NSM does like to put out false announcements and then at last minute change details and location.

My guess is that they will turn up in Olympia sometime this weekend.
