Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced Wednesday that Iran has successfully test-fired a new advanced missile with a range of about 1,200 miles, far enough to strike Israel and southeastern Europe as well as U.S. bases in the Gulf.

U.S. sources later confirmed the test, adding that the administration was looking into its range as well as other data.

The solid-fuel Sajil-2 surface-to-surface missile is a new version of the Sajjil missile, which Iran said it had successfully tested late last year with a similar range.

“The Sajil 2 missile, which has an advanced technology, was launched today … and it landed exactly on the target,” Ahmadinejad said during a visit to the northern Semnan province, where Iran’s official news agency IRNA said the launch took place.

The announcement comes just two days after U.S. President Barack Obama declared a readiness to seek deeper international sanctions against Iran if it shunned U.S. attempts to open negotiations on its nuclear program. He said he expected a positive response to his diplomatic outreach by the end of the year.

Iran’s announcement is likely to arouse further concern in the West about Iran’s military ambitions. The U.S. and its allies suspect the Islamic Republic is seeking to build nuclear bombs. Tehran denies the charge.

Iran said in November it test fired a Sajil missile, describing it as a new generation of surface-to-surface missile. Tehran said it was ready to defend itself against any attacker.

Washington said at the time that the test highlighted the need for a missile defense system it plans to base in Poland and the Czech Republic to counter threats from what it calls “rogue states”.

Executive Summary – The USA state of Montana has signed into power a revolutionary gun law. I mean REVOLUTIONARY. The State of Montana has defied the federal government and their gun laws. This will prompt a showdown between the federal government and the State of Montana. The federal government fears citizens owning guns. They try to curtail what types of guns they can own. The gun control laws all have one common goal – confiscation of privately owned firearms.

Montana has gone beyond drawing a line in the sand. They have challenged the Federal Government. The fed now either takes them on and risks them saying the federal agents have no right to violate their state gun laws and arrest the federal agents that try to enforce the federal firearms acts. This will be a world-class event to watch. Montana could go to voting for secession from the union, which is really throwing the gauntlet in Obamas face. If the federal government does nothing they lose face. Gotta love it.

Important Points – If guns and ammunition are manufactured inside the State of Montana for sale and use inside that state then the federal firearms laws have no applicability since the federal government only has the power to control commerce across state lines. Montana has the law on their side. Since when did the USA start following their own laws especially the constitution of the USA, the very document that empowers the USA.

Silencers made in Montana and sold in Montana would be fully legal and not registered. As a note silencers were first used before the 007 movies as a device to enable one to hunt without disturbing neighbors and scaring game. They were also useful as devices to control noise when practicing so as to not disturb the neighbors.

Silencers work best with a bolt-action rifle. There is a long barrel and the chamber is closed tight so as to direct all the gases though the silencer at the tip of the barrel. Semi-auto pistols and revolvers do not really muffle the sound very well except on the silver screen. The revolvers bleed gas out with the sound all over the place. The semi-auto pistols bleed the gases out when the slide recoils back.

Silencers are maybe nice for snipers picking off enemy soldiers even though they reduce velocity but not very practical for hit men shooting pistols in crowded places. Silencers were useful tools for gun enthusiasts and hunters.

There would be no firearm registration, serial numbers, criminal records check, waiting periods or paperwork required. So in a short period of time there would be millions and millions of unregistered untraceable guns in Montana. Way to go Montana.

Discussion – Let us see what Obama does. If he hits Montana hard they will probably vote to secede from the USA. The governor of Texas has already been refusing Federal money because he does not want to agree to the conditions that go with it and he has been saying secession is a right they have as sort of a threat. Things are no longer the same with the USA. Do not be deceived by Obama acting as if all is the same, it is not.

Chains we can believe in

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that Barack Obama is damaging America more than any other president in its history. Here are ten of the biggest ways Obama is destroying America.

1. He’s running up crushing federal debt at a level unprecedented in American history. We are talking trillions upon trillions of dollars in debt. This ensures the the future will bring ruinous taxes, runaway inflation, or eventual financial collapse.

2. He has endorsed and benefited from systematic violation of election and campaign funding laws. His election saw widespread voter registration fraud from his allies at ACORN and systematic acceptance of dubious campaign donations by disabling normal credit card verification procedures for online donations, allowing donations to be made from foreign donors and from donors using fictitious names. This in turned allowed donors to skirt donation limits if they wished, simply by using bogus names. In the “stimulus” bill, Obama has funded ACORN and similar groups to the tune of billions.

3. Obama has endorsed, and will continue to foster, the entitlement mentality, playing the victim, and mob rule. A typical moment was his warning to bank executives that it was only his administration standing between executives and the mobs with pitchforks. Not mentioned was the fact that Obama’s pals at ACORN were the number one wielders of the pitchforks. Obama is also ushering in socialism at a breathtaking pace. Soon, no major expense in a normal human life will be paid for by the individual. Every major expense, from housing to advanced education to medical care, will be paid for by Big Brother. Incentives to work will be destroyed for both the “rich” and the “poor.” We will all soon be poorer as a result.

4. Obama is gearing up to politicize and manipulate the Census to an unprecedented degree. Given the Obama campaign’s and Obama administration’s other manipulations, I believe it is extremely unlikely that Obama will not end up over counting “homeless,” illegal aliens, and other Democratic Party interest groups. The result will be to unlawfully shift power to blue states, cementing control of the nation in the hands of statists.

5. Obama is trampling, penalizing, micromanaging, and destroying American business to an unprecedented degree, ahd he’s just getting started. Already we see major automakers about to fail (of course, this is primarily the result of the power labor unions have wielded in the auto industry), we see banks failing and being taken over, and we see restaurants, retailers, and companies in the construction business struggling and failing. To reiterate: Obama is just getting started. It is a terrible time to own a business in America.

6. Obama is lending aid, money, and support to tyrannies and terrorists. From getting chummy with Hugo Chavez to releasing dangerous GITMO terrorists to handing almost a billion dollars to Palestinian terrorists, Obama has yet to meet a terrorist or tyrant he doesn’t seem to like.

7. Obama is discounting and attempting to undermine America’s Christian and Judeo- (-Ed) Christian culture. By constantly treating Christianity as the moral equivalent of atheism and Islam in his public pronouncements — and by proclaiming that America is no longer a Christian nation (even though about 80% of Americans still believe in the resurrection of Christ), Obama is turning his back on America’s great strength.

8. Obama is retroactively criminalizing innocent behavior and excusing unlawful behavior. He appoints tax cheats to his administration and then treats AIG executives as criminals, retroactively imposing 90% taxes on bonuses. He frees GITMO terrorists who tried to kill Americans, and then threatens to prosecute lawyers who gave legal opinions on torture — and broke no laws in doing so.

9. He is rapidly ceding the Middle East back to terrorists and tyrants. He is trying to cozy up to Iran but, more importantly, he is withdrawing troops from Iraq even as violence escalates, risking the loss of that country in the infancy of its democracy. He is moving too slowly and ineffectually in Afghanistan as dangers grow in Pakistan. He is letting the Taliban gain strength to the point where it now threatens to take over Pakistan and its nuclear arsenal.

10. I’ve saved the worst for last. Obama has already reduced funding for missile defense and threatens to eliminate the program entirely. Yet missile defense is the only potential defense against nuclear missile threats from a growing number of terrorists and tyrants around the world. This dereliction of duty on Obama’s part could result in the deaths of millions.

Barack Obama is destroying America. It is up to Americans to realize the danger and rise up against this destruction before it is too late.

ANNOUNCEMENT of April 30, 2009
by
ESA HENRIK HOLAPPA, US GOVERNMENT PRISONER

FROM SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

Esa Henrik Holappa A087361909
Buffalo Federal Detention Facility
4250 Federal Dr.
Batavia, NY 14020

Almost two months have now passed since that morning, March 9, 2009, around 11:45 am, when US federal agents arrested me – three squad cars – on a country road east of Sarver, Pennsylvania for a “visa violation.” As it quickly became known to me, in fact already during the car ride to the downtown Pittsburgh federal jail and even more so later in questioning, my arrest was politically motivated.

The officer who put me in leg chains and even wrist chains – not mere handcuffs, but wrist chains — said, when I asked why he was arresting me, a perfectly legal applicant for political asylum: Quote:
“Because of your association with Nationalism.”

Federal wrist chains

Since that week, now almost two months ago, I have spent my time, 23.5 hours a day, in a cell in the “SHU,” the “Special Housing Unit.”

The SHU is meant for those whom the facility considers to be “dangerous” or a “threat to the facility’s safety.”

Here I am discovered holding a dangerous cat weapon.

Now, however, I stay voluntarily in the SHU – the director here did offer to release me – because I wish to avoid any contact with the Third World “general population” here or any “incident” that “might happen.” But in my concrete cell I can still hear the melodious sounds of “m—–f——” being yelled.

On Thursday, April 30, and at my request, my October 2008 application for political asylum was withdrawn before the Federal Immigration Court in Buffalo, NY.

This step also means that the federal order issued by the Department of Homeland Security for my “removal,” that is, my deportation back to Europe, will not be blocked any longer by my lawyer, and my expulsion from this beautiful America will go ahead.

Pittsburgh is a beautiful city that I loved, and Pennsylvania has gorgeous countryside.

I and John de Nugent in the building lobby of a high-priced, specialized immigration/asylum lawyer in downtown Pittsburgh in October 2008. John and Margaret spent $2,000 on the law office of Valerie May, whose staff failed to secure one signature on the 16-page asylum application — a mistake which John de Nugent caught, and even though this mistake was remedied the next day, Homeland Security arrested me fully five months later, claiming I had “overstayed my visa.” At my federal asylum scheduling hearing in December in Philadelphia, I was not arrested for this supposed “violation,” and I and my friends saw and heard in that courtroom that several asylum applicants had 1) overstayed their visa, 2) overstayed it for years already, and 3) some had even committed felonies while overstaying their visa – and 4) they were not being arrested or being deported, but instead getting a free lawyer. (The judge said kindly: “You need a lawyer who can do both criminal and immigration law. Here’s a list of free lawyers. Translator, make sure Mr. Ubungu understands that.”) But all these real violators were hispanic – or they were black (as were the judge and the prosecutor).

My deportation back to Finland will take place within a month from this date (April 30).

My deportation also means I cannot return to the soil of the United States of America for TEN YEARS. It is because of the one missing signature that was fixed the next day. But Obama’s aunt can stay… four years after she was ordered deported….. see below.

Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security, whose mother’s maiden name was Winer.

Why did I drop my asylum application?

Well, it was obvious by my very arrest by Homeland Security’s ICE division (“Immigration and Customs Enforcement”) that the government that is ruling over the American people did not want me to stay here and did not want to approve my asylum application, nor do I think the black judge would have done so once she understood that I am pro-white. (Valerie May had suggested I would get a favorable judge whom she knew – and, although she did not say so, a white judge — but this judge was then removed from my case in favor of a black woman.)

I was proud to speak in November 2008 at Dr. David Duke’s EURO conference in Memphis, Tennessee, alongside Paul Fromm, my Scandinavian brother Knut Eriksen from Denmark, and other fearless comrades. After all, you have freedom of speech here in America, right? Statue of Liberty, huddling masses yearning to be free?

Barack Hussein Obama’s aunt, “Zeituni Onyango,” has been living in Boston, Massachusetts illegally since 2004, but the immigration judge’s 2004 deportation order has been blocked since then, and “Aunt Zeituni” is now living in public housing – as a deportable illegal alien – in the once all-white (and Irish) South Boston section.

Quote:
Zeituni Onyango, who was prominently mentioned as "Aunt Zeituni" in Barack Obama's memoirs Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled access apartment in a rundown section of Boston. Zeituni Onyango lives with her brother Omar. Zeituni Onyango is apparently without employment, but does some volunteer work and contributed some money to her nephew's campaign.

Omar, known as "Uncle Omar" in Barack Obama's memoirs, has also had hard times since moving to America. He was evicted from a previous apartment, lost a business, and was once attacked in an armed robbery.

Barack Obama, who is a millionaire and live[d] in a tony section of Chicago, has had to endure controversy before when it was revealed that his half-brother George lives in a shack in a poor area in Nairobi, Kenya. Eyebrows have been raised at why a politician, who often touts the virtues of sharing and “spreading the wealth,” seems unable or unwilling to help out relatives who are in need.

Barack Obama once boasted about he used to share his toys as a kindergartener. But the revelation of a brother and now an aunt and uncle living in squalid poverty proves, if nothing else, that Barack Obama has a little trouble with the concept of sharing as an adult.

Ed Morrissey, of Hotair.com, put it very well. “[The New Testament Gospel of] Matthew speaks of all men as brothers, but a failure to care for family speaks much louder than a failure to care for strangers. It makes Obama look a little hypocritical, especially after featuring Zeituni and Omar in one of the books that now provide a healthy income for the presidential candidate.”
But my decision to withdraw my asylum application was based on new legal developments in my home country of Finland.

Almost one year ago, on May 11, 2008, while I was heading on a tourist visit to neighboring Estonia, I got a phone call from the police investigator in my city of Oulu.

Oulu is a city of about 130,000 located on the western Finnish coast about where the final letter in the word “Bothnia” (”a”) is located.

This policewoman informed me that the state prosecutor Mika Illman (who handles all major so-called “hate-speech crimes”) had decided to ”have a look at my case.” A week later I was summoned to the police station to be interrogated on suspicion of “incitement of racial hatred.” Two more charges with which I was threatened were “aggravated defamation” (of the black community, which I accused of harboring gang rapists) and “copyright violation.”

I had already been arrested previously, at age 20, and was held in jail without being able to make a phone call from January 16 to 19, 2007. At that time I was “suspected’ of having written a defamatory article about a Sudanese immigrant teenager and his Israeli friends. The important newspaper for northern Finland called Kaleva, published in my city of Oulu, had published the photo of these youngsters on its website on January 5, 2007. I admit my “crime” of right-clicking on this photo jpeg and sending it to an American friend! It was part of a private email to a friend, not a commercial undertaking. The picture, which had already appeared on the Finnish newspaper’s website, then appeared on an American website and discussion of the photo on that website’s discussion forum.

For this crime of Americans using a Finnish newspaper’s photo Mika Illman wanted me to go to prison for six months. (Meanwhile Africans are gang-raping Finnish girls.)

The American website as well as its forum had already published my articles about multiculturalism
and gang rapes in my city of Oulu. There was my article “Multiculturalism – an impossible vision,” and several other articles that this American website published for Finns in our own Finnish language. Some articles on the American website had even been published by the Kaleva newspaper itself under my name!

We have no racial freedom of speech in Finland, so this was a nice service to publish these articles in Finnish. In any case, the Oulu police wrongly concluded that I had written all the Finnish material on the website and forum, including one I had not even read when I was arrested. But this article “defamed the honor” of the Sudanese (think Darfur) and of his Israeli friends.

The police even accused me of being the webmaster of this American site! No, that was far beyond my Internet competency then or now.

During my three days in jail, with the light on day and night, the police determined there was no evidence of my “guilt” and let me go. Even so, I found out later that the state prosecutor Illman had decided to ”make an example” of me so as to “crush racism” in Finland. (That is, white racism, not black racism.) I was already convicted in their minds, and in May 2008 my lawyer told me that I was facing 4.5 YEARS in prison. It was quite that serious.

However, I believe that the real reason for my arrest and later persecution lay in my critical article “Multiculturalism – an impossible vision.” This article was translated into German and published as “Multikultur – eine unmögliche Vision” by the WN published Wigbert Grabert in his excellent historical magazine Deutschland in Geschichte und Gegenwart [ = “Germany in History and the Present”] in the spring of 2006 (when I was 19).

This article must have seemed pretty potent to the enemies of our race, because the publisher himself, Wigbert Grabert, was then indicted just for publishing my article on the charge of “Volksverhetzung” [ = “incitement of racial hatred”]! I think the enemy did not like my mentioning of the explosive issue of African gang rapists in my city of Oulu. I was detained by the state security police, SUPO, on August 8, 2006 and interrogated about this article.

Interestingly, they were inflicting this on me, in a supposed democracy with a guarantee of free speech, on the very day that Herr Grabert was in a German court because of the German government’s objections to my article. On the day I was released, this peaceful publisher of opinions about history
and current events was sentenced to a fine of three thousand euros [four thousand dollars, a lot for a small publisher) and a prison sentence with probation (which means they can still send you to prison if you commit another “speech crime” during probation).

So many coincidences, which all suggest that one big Hidden Hand behind the scenes is directing multiple governments.

There were two things I learned myself about the state from the interrogations by SUPO and by the criminal police: 1) they wanted to know why I wold write such things and what my goal was; 2) they wanted me to believe that my nationist way of thinking now belonged to “the history books.”

Of course, the Hidden Hand got its newspaper Kaleva into the act as well. In its article of January 16, 2007, and violating Finnish press customs, they published my name and home address although I had not been convicted of any crime, merely arrested (and in fact released). This was a nice gesture in a city with now thousands of Africans living there, some of whom live in fact very near my then apartment. The newspaper also published, as if they were cooperating with the police as one entity, detailed information about my friends and political connections. Kaleva also published the lie that I was the administrator of the aforementioned American website!

So by the year 2008 Finland’s top prosecutor, Mika Illman, had decided to prosecute me after I had received much attention from three sources: 1) the state security police SUPO, which is a bit like the American FBI, but was organized by the Soviet KGB itself during the long period when the Soviets did not occupy but instead dominated my country, from 1944-91, when we were, as they say in English, “finlandized.” This term means we were economically and politically controlled by placing key Soviet operatives in key positions of the Finnish government and police. Now the only change is that our bureaucracy has a new master. The second group hounding me was the criminal police, and the third was the largest newspaper in northern Finland, Kaleva, which continued writing about me after I had already left Finland for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in America in July 2008!

I can say with some satisfaction that because of my “icy” arrest now – as a totally innocent and legal applicant for asylum and then confinement to solitary – by ICE (“Immigrations and Customs Enforcement”), which caused my friends such as John de Nugent and Major William Fox USMCR, and my Finnish comrades, and comrades Erick and Pamela, and others, to create huge publicity about my case, I have become even more well-known now – both in Finland and around the world. I have learned the happy news even here in solitary that there are now over 11,300 web pages about my struggle and ordeal and 25 pages under “Henrik Holappa” in the search engine Google – and there are support websites suchs www.enationalist.com, Major Fox’s extensive webpage on me at www.americafirstbooks.com, and supportive threads on several WN forums with full details.

Major Fox, whose mother is from Scandinavia, from Norway (and northern Norway, by the way, was settled by Finns and is even called Finnmark; Narvik, the site of a major WWII battle, is in this region), did a huge amount of work on my behalf by in sending emails to every single Finnish-American association – and also to every single one of the hundreds of legislators in both the Finnish and Norwegian parliaments, exposing to them the outrageous facts about my arrest and confinement and no dout causing much discussion behind the scenes – about the dictatorship of political correctness and about my original issue, immigrants gang-raping Scandinavian women. I have just learned that now Norway is starting to openly discuss the terrible wave of gang rapes by Muslim immigrants, and is opposing Israel more and more openly.

Major William B. Fox, USMCR, Harvard Business School graduate and owner of www.amfirstbooks.com. (The mother of the 6′5” Bill Fox is a Norwegian citizen. All the Scandinavian countries are closely bound by ties of blood, culture and, until recently at least, religion – Lutheranism.)

When I helped Major Fox move his belongings into John’s home in January, I had no idea that soon he, Bill and Margi would be battling for my freedom.

I am sure that the enemy of freedom is now bitter that after all this, I am now far more famous than ever before, and certainly the most known white nationist in my home country.

Son after my arrest on March 9, Kaleva printed an article about my incarceration. And a few weeks later I heard the most amazing news, which I never expected to hear, and probably none of my friends and supporters in Finland, the rest of Europe, or America expected either.

This was the amazing news:

After being assured by the criminal policewoman in May 2008 that I was about to be indicted by the top prosecutor, Illman himself, to “make an example of me” and to “crush racism” in all Finland, and show by my prosecution and severe punishment that the state now had a serious program in effect to eliminate all white racial solidarity, and with my lawyer warning me that I therefore I could expect 4.5 years in prison — all three charges – “racial incitement,” “defaming the honor of the black community” and “copyright violation” – were now DROPPED and I was told “the case is closed”!

So suddenly I did not commit any Orwellian crimes of “violation of freedom of speech.” (If you speak out in Finland about anything racial, you are “violating” freedom of speech….)

This is of course very good news, that I am not facing prison! (Not at the moment….)

It also forms a parallel to the David Duke case in Prague, Czech Republic, where he was arrested – and then released and expelled, not indicted. The result of Illman’s decision, reversing his stated intention of last summer, is also bad news for me. Because it means I am no longer in imminent danger of political persecution in my homeland, I now have no more grounds for applying for political asylum here, and US Homeland Security can now easily do what they really want – to deport me out of America, a huge and exciting country I really began to like very much and where I now have deep friendships and strong contacts with American comrades after eight months in freedom (from July 2008 to early March 2009).

At my April 7 court hearing my main asylum hearing was scheduled for July 6, but as of April 3o, I have dropped my asylum application since there is no prosecution awaiting me in Finland and frankly I am tired of spending 23.5 hours a day in a concrete cell, and only exercising and reading and writing letters to and from good comrades around the world, comrades whom I thank very much, and especially one in Scotland. I have also had good visits here in prison in upstate New York, far from most comrades, with one driving ten hours one-way just to see me for 45 minutes, and I expect at least one more from Pennsylvania.

I cannot know, since I am not allowed a crystal ball in isolation, what the future will bring, but certainly changes are coming. I can only speculate why Mika Illman dropped the serious charges meant to “crush racism in the whole country.” They wanted to silence me and they want to silence you, and most of all silence the truth. They want to paint us as “evil” and “haters.” But I and thousands of comrades, and key volunteers such as John de Nugent, Margaret Huffstickler and Major Bill Fox, have shown that our truth cannot be silenced, and that the state will feel the consequences of persecuting white nationists in Finland, Czech Republic, America and elsewhere.

The state is seeing that there are those who do not wait defensively to be arrested and submit to prosecution and chains on their wrists and legs. They now know there are those who proudly stand up and say to the Power:

“You are a tyrant and you are a liar!”

Now there are others in Finland who are still being prosecuted by the government for this Orwellian “violation of freedom of speech.” (I suppose in America they will call it “abusing reasonable limitations on freedom of speech designed to prevent violence between communities,” as in Canada.) All those targeted for punishment need to make the decision: will you quietly submit, or will you directly challenge the state prosecutor with your supporters so that the persecution becomes a public-relations fiasco for the state?

My days in this extraordinary country called America are rapidly coming to the end. I may be gone within two weeks, but almost certainly by the end of May. These eight months that I spent as a free man in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in Memphis, Tennessee, in Cincinnati, Ohio, in and Baltimore, Maryland and in the gleaming white marble city of Washington DC, now filled with dark people, have given me a new view of things and have been a graduation to a new ability to lead.

I have seen in America what Finland some day could look like.

As for the two months spent in this facility, they have not been enjoyed, but they have not been wasted either. I did some important thinking and made some important decisions. These will affect my personal life and my leadership of the Finnish Resistance Movement as we approach a new decade.

I want now to thank all and everyone who has written me and sent me postage stamps, money orders, and paid to set up a phone account. I express my deep gratitude to all who have worked hard to create websites, write articles and posts about my case, and every other act of help whether known to others or only to your heart. I appreciate as only a prisoner in solitary can all you have done for me. I rejoice that through my suffering and your solidarity with me now thousands more have awoken to the need to defend and keep freedom of speech. You and I together have made our movement stronger!

And now I return to Europe, to unfree Europe, to battle to get the freedoms we need back.

still in captivity in Batavia Detention Facility

Many individuals today seem to neglect the fact that National Socialism was not a political movement that enjoyed unanimous agreement on every ideological principle. Like every healthy political movement, German National Socialism endured its share of internal factionalism and philosophical disagreements on issues ranging from religion to economics. Some issues were so polarizing that the Third Reich could have taken on a remarkably different form if the philosophy of certain key ideologues had been embraced by the movement’s figurehead, Adolf Hitler.

Hitler’s personal interpretation of what “socialism” constituted was unique when compared to that of many of his contemporaries. He did not view it as a mechanism to perpetuate an international order based on the mutual interests of the world’s proletariat. Rather, he viewed socialism as a means of resolving Germany’s class conflict; thereby replacing class identity with a renewed, collective national/ethnic identity. Socialist reforms would be utilized for the purpose increasing the quality of life for Germany’s proletariat and peasantry -at the expense of the national bourgeoisie. However, such reforms would not be utilized for the purpose of eliminating economic diversity. They would instead combat the gross inequality of the classes by eliminating the poverty that plagued the proletariat and peasantry, and the excessive material comfort of the bourgeoisie. He would additionally resolve to ensure that opportunities were available for all Germans to attain higher economic status, through the implementation of a system of meritocracy.

There were, however, differences between members of the party on how exactly to bring about this new order. There were even differences on what this new order would look like. This primary philosophical fault line took on a north-south axis, with one camp of Prussian National Socialists and another camp of Bavarian National Socialists. The political philosophy representing the ‘northern’ faction was personified in such leaders as Gregor Strasser, Karl Kaufmann and Dr. Joseph Goebbels.

There was no doubt at the time that the Prussian National Socialists were far more radical than their Bavarian counterparts. Goebbels, for example, had been reared in Marxist theory and for a brief period even considered himself a Communist (prior to his involvement with the N.S.D.A.P). Their approach towards National Socialism was one which conflicted with many of Hitler’s views. These leaders saw Soviet Russia as potential ally in the international struggle against the Western plutocracies, rather than an enemy to defeat, conquer and colonize. (Not surprisingly, they did not share Hitler’s imperial ambitions.) They viewed class-conflict as an issue of foundational relevance and did not seek to replace class identity with a single, national identity. Rather, they believed that class identity and national identity were dually significant and could both be addressed within their program.

Preferring not to of engage in violent confrontations with their political rivals, they instead would attempt to reason with Prussia’s Communists -hoping to draw them over to their side. In the Prussian journal, the National Socialist Letters, Goebbels published an article entitled “To My Friend on the Left“. In it he wrote: “You and I, we fight one another although we are not enemies at all.” In a later article published in the same journal Goebbels wrote: “We look to Russia, because Russia is our natural ally against the fiendish contamination and corruption from the west… Because we can see the commencement of our own national and socialist survival in an alliance with a truly national and socialist Russia.” And again in a later article he wrote: “We’ll get nowhere if we rely on the propertied and educated classes. I believe in socialism and in the proletariat.”

Under the leadership of Dr. Goebbels (following his departure from Prussia), the young Horst Wessel wrote: “The rightwing parties spurned us for our socialist slant and they weren’t all that wrong, because National Socialists had more in common with the [communist] R.F.B. than with the [rightwing] Stahlhelm.” Empathizing this theme, Goebbels is quoted as having said the following to Axel Ripke (gauleiter of North Rhineland) early on in his career: “Socialism means the liberation of the proletariat, not just breaking of the Versailles peace treaty. God, preserve my passion!” Accused by Ripke of promoting a new class struggle, Goebbels said: “Too true! With capitalism, you’ve got to call a spade a spade.”

The revolutionary fervor of the Prussian National Socialists was so strong that on November 22, 1925, Gregor Strasser commissioned Dr. Goebbels to draft a new program for the N.S.D.A.P. The revised program was notably more radical than the program of 1918. At the subsequent party meeting in Hanover, Hitler’s representative, Gottfried Feder (himself, an author of the 25 point program of 1918), was among those critical of the revision. Of primary concern to some in attendance was the program’s approach to the question of Communism and the Soviet Union. Despite the objections, however, the program was adopted by the northern gau that same day (January 24, 1926).

Hitler was reportedly troubled by this development and subsequently scheduled a meeting for party officials in Bamberg on February 14. The ‘northerners’ misinterpreted this move to be an indication of Hitler’s approval of their approach. Goebbel’s enthusiastically wrote: “Nobody has any faith left in Munich. Elberfeld is to become the Mecca of German socialism.” “In every city, blood is flowing for our idea. We cannot fail.” At the Bamberg meeting, Hitler did not hesitate to use the occasion to dispel that very notion.

There would be no alteration of the party program. Germany would never make common cause with Russia or make peace with Communism. Rather, Germany would form an alliance with Italy and England, in order to pursue their imperial interests in the East. The Prussians felt betrayed. In later months and years, the N.S.D.A.P would be consolidated in accordance to Hitler’s vision. The bourgeoisie would be forced to endure state subjugation, rather than revolutionary liquidation. There would be no proletariat state, but the proletariat would nonetheless reap the benefits of Hitler’s revolution from above.

Viennese school authorities are checking Muslim teachers’ German following a scandal over a Muslim teacher who handed out anti-Semitic leaflets to students.

The checks are part of a recently introduced five-point plan by Social Democrat (SPÖ) Education Minister Claudia Schmied checking teaching standards, including a directive that all Muslim teachers have to be fluent German speakers.

Vienna’s Stadtschulrat city school council said today (Weds) small language deficits were found in the checks of the capital’s 169 Islamic teachers conducted over the last few days.

Vienna authorities had a close look at eleven teachers who do not hold a German degree. Three of them were ordered to sit additional German classes while the others proved to have excellent German, it was announced.

The five-point plan was introduced after Education Minister Schmied banned a Muslim man in February from teaching his religion at a Vienna secondary school after he distributed anti-Semitic leaflets to pupils.

Schmied ordered the city’s school authorities to take action against the man who had been teaching at the Cooperative Secondary School (KMS) in Brüßlgasse in the district of Ottakring.

He reportedly distributed anti-Semitic leaflets to his students. The flyers contained a list of allegedly “Jewish” firms from which, the man told the students, they should not buy anything.
