The Stormfront case

For those of you who don’t know, Stormfront is a forum that attracts a great number of neo-nazis, racists and ‘white nationalists’. Being that it is the biggest forum of that kind, it has a great number of members from these areas, and it is mysterious (and sad) that Serbia has its own separate sub-forum, together with other much bigger countries such as USA, Great Britain, Spain, Australia and Germany, to name a few.

Stormfront has often been targeted in Serbian media, most notably on two occassions.

The first time this website caught the eye of Serban public was in 2005 when a user asked other users to give him the names of all the people of Jewish descent in Serbia they can think of so that he could make a list. Media responded quickly and calls for shutting down the website could be heard, but nothing could be done, since the servers of the site are in the U.S. – and since the website didn’t break any U.S. laws, Serbia could not do anything else than complain. The list is still there to this very day, and is updated with new names every once in a while.

Second time when Stormfront hit the headlines was when several members of the forum formed and promoted a National-socialist group ‘Nacionalni stroj’ that later crashed into Anti-fascist conference in Novi Sad in 2006. Stormfront was used as a place where they could organize, exchange nazi-propaganda texts and, in short, encourage one another to comit such acts.
Most of the gang members were arrested and are currently in prison.

Again, nothing could be done about the website, because of the protection SF has under US law, so you can still read the statute and the ideas of the organization on the forum.

It is really a mystery for me where these people get their ideas from, coming from a country with such distinctly anti-fascist past, such as Serbia. Some would say that most of them are kids and that i should not take this so seriously. Maybe, but that doesn’t change the fact that there are no other countries from the region with their own sub-forum on SF.

The latest ‘action’ Serbian stormfronters are preparing is to commemorate those who died during the NATO-bombing in 1999 by gathering at the Republic square at the 24th of March, the day that bombing started 8 years ago. Somehow i don’t find this kind of gathering appropriate for that day.

Have to say how I find it kind of sweet that those right wing nationalists who rail against the West enjoy joining up with neo-facist westerners.

I’d also like to ask those patriots why they imitate Western culture – skinhead, western fashion that goes with it on the one hand and on the other reject those values. Of course many of them are kids and dont actually have much clue about anything.

You know its not the principled nationalists that I have a problem with – well I mean one can argue reasonably and have a good idea what their opinions are but its the confused sick lost types who use some political philosophy like some kind of medcine when they should seek professional help.

Give me a long haired Draza follower who always goes on about the King and Cetniks or indeed give me a Titoist who claims the benevolent dictator was God.

But please the Communationalists and neo-nazis need a shrink not a political programme.

I have a request.

How about just for one day you post here a story about something good to do with the Serbian people. That means not picking up some miniscule minority to write about — of which there are many more such nutcases in the U.S. and all over Europe — but finding something genuinely interesting and positive about Serbs. Just, you know, once in a blue moon. Or does it go completely against the grain to stop helping to continue the denigration of your own people? You notice I said once in a while, not every day necessarily, it would be good to have a positive story. Try hard.

You might find then that people like me are less offended by the tone of this blog and you might therefore find people like me less offensive.

Well, well, well… another one of those soft-cock moralizing antifa keyboard commando’s. And what have you done for your country and your race, lately ? Just write a few words on the internet ? Thats mighty brave of you.
Who are you to oppose the meeting on the 24th ? A higher moral authority ? We as Serb patriots have every right to go out on the street and protest the killing of our people, that took place 8 years ago. There are no “neonazi’s” or “fascists” on Stormfront. You Antifa warriors need enemies to fight, thats why you create your enemies and brand them as fascists, neonazi’s , racists ect. You are nothing but foreign paid traitors who leech off and at the same time sabotage the country of Serbia. You are nothing more than spineless worms in my eyes.

How much do the Jews pay you to spread anti Serb propaanda?

Wtf March 15, 2007 at 2:22 am

“is mysterious (and sad) that Serbia has its own separate sub-forum”

No, it isn’t mysterious why there is one. Stormfront’s motto is: White Pride World Wide — Serbians are white — what is there not to get?

Kosovka March 15, 2007 at 3:29 am

Oh great!
So by your beliefs we should be welcoming the lovely SHIPTARS into Serbia and let them kill our children, rape our women, desecrate our churches because we are a “democratic country” now?
Oh please.
Go and get an education, read some books and see what Serbian Patriotism really is. We love mother Serbia and the Serbian people, who are WHITE, not ASIAN, not BLACK, in saying that, of course we love the white race, after all, how can we not love our own race if we love our people and nation? It’s a shame that a lot of our Serbian brothers and sisters have been brainwashed by the media and are willing to sell their souls to the devil just for a few euros. What has politics brought to our mother Serbia? Only wars! Serbs are the heavenly people – For the Glorious Cross and Golden Freedom.
Long Live Serbia!
Long Live Serbian Kosovo!
SERBIA FOR SERBS
SRBIJA SRBIMASRBIN ZA SRBINA!

Blackbird: sure. Any suggestions?

Stormfronter: I somehow thought all those swastikas in avatars and hitler’s quotes in signatures have something to do with nazism. Guess i was wrong.

Nationalist: Can’t really tell you that, it’s part of the contract.

Wtf: What i meant was: how come there is no Croatia, Bosnia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Switzerland, etc. subforums? Mystery, ain’t it?

Socialists in the USA originated the Nazi salute, robotic group-chanting to flags, Nazism, flag fetishism, and the modern swastika as “S” symbolism for “Socialism.”
http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html

Much of that history is the history of the Pledge Of Allegiance. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg Pledge Of Allegiance photographs expose America’s terrifying past.

Those historical facts explain the enormous size and scope of government today, and the USA’s growing police state. They are reasons for massive reductions in government, taxation, spending and socialism.

The “Nazi salute” is more accurately called the “American salute” as it was created and popularized by national socialists in the USA. It was the early salute of the Pledge of Allegiance. The Pledge was written by Francis Bellamy. http://rexcurry.net/pledgetragedy.html Francis Bellamy was cousin and cohort of Edward Bellamy. http://rexcurry.net/pledgebackward.html Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy were self-proclaimed socialists in the Nationalism movement and they promoted military socialism.

The Pledge was mandated by law in government schools for three decades before, and through, the creation of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-karl-marx.html

see photo of Pledge of Allegiance http://rexcurry.net/USA-pledge-of-allegiance-rexcurrydotnet.jpg Pledge of Allegiance.

Many people do not know that the term “Nazi” means “National Socialist German Workers’ Party.” Members of the horrid group did not call themselves Nazis. In that sense, there was no Nazi Party. They also did not call themselves Fascists. They called themselves socialists, just as their name indicates.

The original pledge was anti libertarian and began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by children casually performing the forced ritual chanting. Due to the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military salute led to the Nazi salute. The Nazi salute is an extended military salute via the USA’s Pledge Of Allegiance.

Media coverage about the discoveries continues to grow http://rexcurry.net/audio-rex-curry-podcast-radio.html

Fan mail for work exposing the Pledge’s poisonous pedigree is at http://rexcurry.net/pledge_heart.html

And listen at http://odeo.com/audio/1747108/view

The Pledge’s early salute caused quite a Fuhrer/furor. The dogma behind the Pledge was the same dogma that led to the socialist Wholecost (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 million under the Peoples’ Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. It was the worst slaughter of humanity ever.

People were persecuted (beatings, lynchings, etc) for refusing to perform robotic chanting to the national flag at the same time in government schools in the USA and Germany (to the American flag, and to the German swastika flag).

American socialists (Edward Bellamy teamed with the Theosophical Society) also bear some blame for the modern swastika http://rexcurry.net/swastika3clear.jpg Swastikas became overlapping S-letters for “socialism,” all shown in the research of the noted symbologist Dr. Rex Curry. Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, its use was altered to alphabetic symbolism in modern times. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html As German socialism’s notorious flag symbol, the swastika was deliberately turned 45 degrees to the horizontal and always oriented in the S-direction. Similar alphabetic symbolism is still visible as Volkswagen logos. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-audi-logo.JPG

The bizarre acts in the USA began as early as 1875 and continued through the creation of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (German Nazis or NSGWP). American soldiers used the swastika symbol in WWI (against Germany) and the symbol was used by the American military during WWII.
http://rexcurry.net/45th-infantry-division-swastika-sooner-soldiers.html

The NSGWP had clear roots in National Socialism promoted by socialists in the USA. Amazing graphic images that prove the point are at
http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html

The USA is still the worst example in the world of bizarre laws that require robotic chanting to a national flag in government schools (socialist schools) every day for 12 years. It has changed generations of Americans from libertarians to authoritarians. The government bamboozled individuals into believing that collective robotic chanting in government schools daily is a beautiful expression of freedom. Frightening photographs are at

Now you’ve done it Viktor! The ‘patriots’ are taking over!

But I sort of agree with Blackbird that we can be a bit gloomy at times. Still I’m also responsible for not posting. And most news these days is gloomy…

Viktor March 15, 2007 at 8:42 pm

Yeah, i really did a row of negative ones, didn’t I?

Don’t worry about not posting, i actually think you contribute to the blog more that i do, through dialogs in comments you leave – i find commentators equally important as the posters. Keep up the good work!

Cvijus March 16, 2007 at 12:42 pm

Jeez, I look like an amateur in comparing with this nazi plague over here. They got bored of their Stormfront forum?

bganon March 16, 2007 at 6:19 pm

‘Yeah, i really did a row of negative ones, didn’t I?’

Well I think its important to appeal to a new audience :) )

Wong Renhao March 22, 2007 at 12:34 pm

I really admire the way you handle flamers or even people who disagree with a negative tone. If it were me for lack of experience I would have wasted my time and emotions whooping all their asses one by one, and probably only to be double-whooped when they reply. Keep up! :)

Viktor March 22, 2007 at 1:50 pm

Wong, Thanks!
i believe that it’s best for their posts to speak for themselves, exposed as they are.
It’s not easy being in this kind of internet-zen state all the time, i admit, so i sometimes have to react too :)

Stormfronter March 25, 2007 at 4:54 am

Hey Wong & Victor,

FUCK YOU

The Paleoface Conservatist January 12, 2008 at 8:49 pm

Freedom of speech is a powerful natural right and one that government and special interests throughout history have sought to limit and even ban.

But since it is a natural right, we must protect it. Allow freedom of speech to go forth unhindered and do what is in your power to make freedom of speech a positive enterprise in and for society that can be passed from generation to generation.

Obviously, there always will be some who seek to abuse this natural right and others that will seek to “unburden” us of this natural right as a result. Understand, they are both wrong.

Yet if I we have to choose, let’s have free speech unhindered in all it’s awesome power and glory and deal including those who abuse it rather than sacrifice it to authoritarianism.. from those who seek to “protect” us from free speech. These people are even more dangerous imho because they start us down that slippery slope of criminalizing/limiting words and thoughts. Their only excuse is they do it for all the “right” reasons of course. But there’s nothing right about it after they get done.

As Patrick Henry once proclaimed, “Give me Liberty, or give me Death!”
