[title updated] Let’s Talk About Right-Wing Populism and Nazi Pages (directly connected to Wikileaks)

[wn030-7, wn030-5, wn030-21, apk] [15.12. updating – the discussion below this text is going on, please click to the comments for details about reactions to this topic. we demand – in light of this issue – especially in light of the starting political candidacy campaign – a clear and clearly worded dissociation from nazis, a dissociation that can not be “read wrong” or “being interpreted wrong” or being “said differently” afterwards.] – UPDATED: well – this turns out, a couple of days later, to be more a kind of a research documenting page than a text you still really can read like you’re used to, meaning there are parts of the original text, then some updates in the middle of the original paragraph since the written sentences needed correction where they were written – it’s a total chaos now, but if you’re used to chaos, maybe you still will be able to deal with it. if not, please scroll directly to the discussion below this page. it’s a bit more sorted.  — update January 5, 2013 – so far, the issues we’ve been hinted at have proven to be correct. we are talking about now in total 10 tweets sent by the official wikileaks account with links to a right wing populistic newspaper (Fria Tider) plus the repost of a nazi text by rixstep (being a supporter officially pushed via tweets by the official wikileaks account) plus a link placed to the nazi repost on the support page justice4 (no less official since also regularly linked via tweets by the official wl twitter account and being a support page linked directly via wikileaks.org) – (in addition to rixstep tweets with direct links to the nazi page info 14 dot com)   – please scroll down to the screenshots.

The content updated end of December starts when you scroll down – with the sentence “The mentioned page reports: a) …” – as for the informations available the issue is serious, we are working on getting more details, for now however we can refer to the paragraph starting with “The mentioned page reports: a) …” (scroll down for that please.)

.

We have thought about many ways how to start this article. One of the ideas we had was to name it an “official dissociation” (from wikileaks, so that our readers can still read older contents on our page that deal with wl material or wl as topics). But then we were thinking – how to do that? How can you officially dissociate from a platform that is named as source of some articles on this page. How to do that?

We came to the conclusion this will be not possible.

An official dissociation from Wikileaks, whose twitter account happened to tweet tweets by a supporter reposting nazi contents  – in addition to tweeting direct links to a right wing extremist paper to more than 1,6 followers – this official dissociation – our official dissociation from wikileaks – would be possible only with deleting all and every single content on this page that deals with them. Down to every single letter of every single word.

Surely – technically, everything is possible. Let’s not talk about the number of pages, words, characters that would have to vanish again – if this would be our course of way, there would be no way out. Unfortunately, our texts are shouting at us that they do not feel like ready to die right tonight. They are not in the mood for Kamikaze or any other kind of funeral.

So – what to do now?

Read on. Maybe togther, while we write and you read, we will find a way out.

.

What happened.

A page that you can google using the title as the search phrase (“Rixstep And The Nazi Website”) has published a post about tweets sent by user Rixstep with the link to a Nazi webpage (info 14 dot com). The page informs that the official Wikileaks account has regularly retweeted Rixstep tweets and has even followed them for a period of time. In addition, Rixstep hosts the repost of a Nazi text that is furthermore used as a “resource” by another official supporter (justice4assange). In addition, the official Wikileaks account has repeatedly tweeted links to articles useful for Assange – links in a right wing extremist newspaper (“Fria Tider”).  

Bang.

This is the moment when you say “I don’t f*cking care for anything any more. Wikileaks wants to commit social and intellectual suicide – their fault, their case, we will not help them to find a way out, all we can do is to think about our own page – how to try to explain and to ask our own readers to chill out (which will be not an easy thing to do).

.

We also were discussing how to describe followers who think they can spam our account with trolling while we were working on this topic. Wake up reader – we are talking about tweets by an account who introduced himself as a person associating with nazis (see the discussion below this text for reasons, why exactly we say that) – to one dot six mio follower accounts – there are points when you expect even the dumbest monkey on a palm who just got hit by a coconut to finally shut the f*ck up and come to grips.  Obviously however, there -are- twitter users (not masses, but some obviously) who do not even get this barrier. If a supporter seriously thinks the person with access to the official account with the responsibility of 1,6 mio is not even able to check such absolute basics before tweeting or retweeting then applause – must be an extremely capale type of person with access.

.

The story however does not end with the moment of the retweeted tweets. The story would be not even here, there would be no text you read right now if the issue would have been corrected in time. A rixstep tweet with the direct link to the nazi site info 14 dot com was reported on said page – and the tweet was simply left there. Just like the official WL tweets to “Fria Tider”.

Now let’s think a moment what that actually means.

Will WL try to explain us that they have not a single person with a head on their shoulders among their followers? 1,6 mio monkeys? C’mon, what kind of followers are these then? Out of 1,6 mio no one shouted out? To be onest – we don’t only not believe that, we cared to clarify that. Our first attempt was to tweet supporters directly. Out of around 5 supporters asked today, one was able to reply immediately and clarified their position. So – we have one proven follower who immediately responded and clarified their dissociation from neonazis – one out of 5. Maybe we just had luck but among 1,6 mio not a single person shouting out, throwing a shoe or giving a hint in what ever way the person choses best – we do not buy that. Our second attempt was to look at the “Fria Tider”-Tweets sent by the official Wikileaks account and critical  voices are visible. 

.

The report about the Rixstep tweet to info 14 dot com that was not deleted – and whose retweet was not undone – was posted on a page that is, since being the public enemy of many supporters, spotted without any smallest doubt very soon after being posted in October 2012 – not only that, we even got the confirmation that there were discussions about said topic already.

.

Ah? Interesting. There were “discussions” about said topic.

Listen, we here, we can tell you one thing. We are not interested in “discussions” about tweets with links to neonazi pages – all we do care for is to stop the time how long they need to be deleted. All we want to report about is that they were deleted within 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes  (poor but still acceptable).

.

This is all we want to know. Instead we are told about “discussions” about tweets that obviously still were discussed while said tweet was still in the tweetfeed and in the timelines of one dot six mio people.

.

No way man, we are not dumbheaded enough to shut up about this. It’s not on us to post a public dissociation regarding this tweet, the page that was linked, to finally stand up and clarify what part of the political landscape you do not collaborate with. London – is just one of many capitals here with a long serious history. And we personally have absolutely clear reasons why are sure. We are simply sure that other capitals will not shut up about that, too. These capitals still remember the sounds of the sirenes. And they are still missing people. More, a couple of times more than the number of followers in that account. The people who miss them don’t look away, play dumb or forget history when they hear the word “gas chamber”.

.

But there are no quick final words on such an incredible fail. This next paragraph, we thought, should finally contain the hint at a noticeable farce, revealed by this issue. While the person in charge with the review of Cypherpunks is in the middle of talks about facebook and its function in the modern surveilled word – exact same company whose role in importing american “values” into european heads were revealed when German journalists took Gawker’s hint at the odesk/facebook manual – the company with the “values” of American “civilization” trying to make people believe that neonazi contents are something the people “have to live with and get used to because being normal…” – same exact “value” found its way into the twitterfeed of the co-author who was just taking part in a theoretical debate about facebook’s role as the “voluntary Stasi”.

If you do not call that a farce,

we have no idea wha a farce then is for you.

(There are some supporters who seem not to have understood how this relates to “Cypherpunks” – we have explained in in a comment.)

.

And just in case you’re wondering: No. Even if this w.o.u.l.d. have been “critical” tweets – for a case like this – a simple tweet without a dissociation to 1,6 mio would not be tolerable. However: This was not the case. These were  pro-Assange texts, useful for him. WL however seems to think this is something you can do with what they call in German “aussitzen”. – Well, we assume this will be not that easy.

. 

And then, there is a 2nd issue: How do you want to collect donations then, from whom? Without a public dissotiation? You think the people will want to donate to an organization that did not post a clarification what part of the political landscape they do not collaborate with, that they neither endorse or wish to be endorsed by them? Since WL seems to welcome right wing extemists among their supporters, all we have to reply to this is: without a public dissociation these could be one day, the last “supporterts” then. Good luck with that.

.

The mentioned page reports: a) an official support site (justice4assange) links to a nazi page, describing it as criminal, but not naming them as nazis. b) rixstep tweeted said link to the nazi page (info14 dot com) – c) wikileaks allegedly retweeted rixstep tweets a couple of times, even followed rixstep for a time (we cannot confirm that, we did not see that live: in warlogs time and beginning of cablegate, they were following no one, now they follow two. We cannot exclude that the claim they followed rixstep for a period of time is true. However, as for us, we did not see that live, so we also cannot confirm that. But this is what the page says. Then:  d) rixstep confirmed that he tweeted a link to a nazi page that attacked a person being critical regarding Assange – a content interesting, obviously, for rixstep and wikileaks regardless of where that kind of “support” comes from. e) rixstep confirmed also that he tweeted the link without checking the site and without knowing what kind of page this is (to be honest, this is… he tweets in english, he should know the typical nazi codes in the hemisphere of his language – not to mention that … if you do not know the page, then – I mean this is what we can confirm for sure – it is not actually rocket science to use a search machine and get that infomation quickly). Anyway – he said he did not know, confirmed that he did not check – and – said in exactly same sentence that he does not care. f) wikileaks – if they followed rixstep fo a while, at least unfollowed him in the meantime, but g) the link to a nazi page is still there on the page, rixstep did not delete his tweet, h) assange wants to run for the senate -and- they want to be successful with the next donation campaign now after the new channel for this is there – and g) there is no dissociation from nazis – in spite of all the mentioned facts: this clearly looks like a collaboration. you do not post an official disclaimer only if you expect something from them (dollars, supporters) – the only way to clarify that this is not the case is a public official dissociation and correction of said contents on that justice4assange page. as long as the dissociation is not there, we see a person who is accepting nazi support and nazi money – and – so – this is also a person who you cannot know whom he will collaborate with politically when elected. so, asking again: on what place on earth do you think you can start a political campaign without a public official dissociation from nazis? on what place on earth do you think a donation campaign without a dissociation from nazis has chances to be successful? for how long?

there is enough shit out there. enough. the time it took until they finally published the dissociation from that holocaust denier. there is a very strange quote quoted in a newspaper, being another one of quoted that were “not said”. “not this way”. well… —- well… — then we have an account tweeting links to nazi sites that wl – according to the page – even followed for a while and retweeted. well…….

and we have after all that no public official dissociation from a person who is preparing to run for the senate. plus wants to collect money without that dissociation.

enough. kein fußbreit, before the public dissociation is there.

.

regarding WL following rixstep – well, we have to do a broader research here. we’ll search for people who saw that, WL must have followed 29 accounts for a period of time. which would be definitely at least a tiny bit surprising. what was that, a meeting? 29 people, according to the screenshot. at least, according to the part of it. for now, what we have is this – this is a cut out from a page with screenshots. linked by the page that reports about that exact case. aside of the screenshot being there to prove that wl followed rixstep there are screenshots of rixstep texts (it is not even only a nazi, it is clearly an absolutely brainless sexist… no, sexist is not enough. sexists typically post jokes about women driving a car and causing crashes while parking in – this is …. a bit more than just a sexist. the page shows a quote – from rixstep: “and the acknowledged best way to keep women oppressed is to rape the shit out of them“. (yes, this is an original rixstep quote – according to the screenshot we see. they must have totally lost their minds there). [update: a commentator links to a page that links to a larger screenshot of said text. the screenshot on the watch-page is long enough to see a distinct hate against feminism, now there is a larger screenshot – take a look, reader, make up your mind. we call that larger text part a text part that can be used for a debate in opposite to the screenshot visible on the watch-page] – and rixstep definitely should hurry up and do some work on his education fails. you really have neither history of feminist movements in school or uni? no gender studies in the library where rixstep lives? poor guy – well, this quote part is so far halfway solved for now, now let’s come to the repeating of the question what these links were doing in the tweets, what the reposted story was supposed to be about, the linnk to it on justice4 and why exactly you thought you can “explain” a link to a nazi page as a link that just can stay there, stay, kept online – tweet not deleted just because a text seems useful. [IDIOT!!!] [SORRY RIXSTEP I CANNOT HOLD IT FULL TOTAL IDIOT DO YOU REALLY STILL THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?! SINCE IF NOT YOU BETTER SPEAK THAT OUT LOUDLY TO THE WORLD!!] (just like WL, btw.) – so – where is the dissociation, finally?

.

this is quite an issue. assanganista, rixstep and actually every single retweet of that tweet. however – diverse people are interested in the topic, see the issues, want to help… people are people – for someone who does not expect that and does not know that it -is- necessary to check a tweet throughly before retweeting, for this person it’s a hint how necessary it is to learn that this is part of every single account’s responsibility. However, the cases that cause and will further cause issues, are the accounts rixstep and WL – these are not just supporter accounts with own responsibility for own tweets, retweets and correction of them – WL is WL, according to the news, and rixstep tweeted the link, WL is pushing rixstep further until today – that’s just simply it. In front of the eyes of the public. Including the public that is supposed to vote. These 2 accounts have to post their dissociation. Since the issue simply will not vanish. Like written in one of the paragraphs below – life’s life. Things happen, incidents happen, mistakes are made. Insidents need to be dealt with and a “mistake” (it’s a bit more than just a small error) needs a correction.  and this is just one of the issues – then the question can pop up what the story with reposting articles, “where ever they come from”, actually was about. something happened there, something went totally wrong. public needs to know what. why. and how and when WL plans to finally correct that.

.

this IS and STAYS an issue simply because of 2 simple facts: firstly, there is a page (assanganista’s blogpage – it’s linked on that page that fusako lniked in the comments – the person with the serious eye problem there, the one who needs glasses, you’ll find it – from there, assanganista’s page is linked) so, on this page, assanganista is claiming that actually ‘no one is surprised about a right wing person attacking a  leftists’. is that so. according to the information available, rixstep confirmed that he did not know what kind of page this was when confronted with the fact after tweeting. secondly, if he -now- wants to claim that, then simply rixstep: MAKE YOUR ACCOUNT PRIVATE. you want to “just discuss”, “just hint at” nazi pages without even knowing what kind of pages these are? “just hint at” when this seems – according to the given information – be an article critical about an assange-critic? this is “just discussing” it, yes? then even reposting that stuff, still – so far, only according to the information given, but so far, we are waiting for the proof that this was not the case. that there was no repost. that there was no link to it on justice4. all while withholding the actual information what political part of the landscape the article was from. you want to “just discuss” that? then make your acc private and be responsible for the people you accept there. otherwise learn that you are not alone there on twitter and if you want to hint at a fact like this then write that Nazi so-and-so complains about leftist so-and-so at a Nazi page. So far about rixstep “news”. if somebody mentions you and seriously asks for those news details it’s enough to give either the googlesearch link or a quote of the sentence to let the people google. if that material is seriously so interesting. and don’t be surprised when the people then ask why exactly.

since you retweeted it in public, you are responsible for the missing dissociation from your part. just as WL was and is reponsible for the missing dissociation on their part, necessary due to pushing rixsteplinks until today.

REPOSTING stuff from their side, however. LINKING to it from “support” pages. USING that stuff without even NAMING what bullshit you link to is just – another part of an obviously quite miserable story. and sorry, you there JA, hints at plans of the US gov to find exactly such issues is just siply USELESS. since exactly then you should know how urgently such cases should be addressed when spotted and how urgently a correction of what happened should be done. of course – the other way is to hope that no one cares. this could be an empty hope, however. and this here – berlin – might be just simply not the only city with a house where they definitely take that seriously. just like people who vote.

what stuff this exactly was – how deep down that went this time – will have to be worked on in the coming days.

honestly. heavens. if they still claim they have or had anything to do with #jan25 in egypt, they have no idea how this claim can turn against them. remember egypt and the rape cases there. egypt started with a case of self-immolation. sadly, this case was what started the protest movement. and there were people tweeting in realtime, from there – from cairo – people saying that they did not need a wikileaks to tell them what to think of mubarak, there were people protesting against this claim. surely they were involved in that time also: appelbaum was seen helping via twitter with informations in the blackout phase, but claiming they -started- it might be simply too much. people tweeted in realtime from egypt that they did not need them to tell them what to think and what to do. anyway – if they still claim that – in order to really simply install a wikileaks mythos regarding starting it – or for what ever other reason – this could, in light of the rixstep quote above turn against them more havily than they probably think now. (disclaimer – have not seen how many protesters from egypt clicked cables regarding mubarak/egypt/cairo – in exactly that time, or, to be more clear – in the time applicable for a possible higher impact, so: before #jan25 – not informed about the click rates from egypt locations to exactly these documents in the applicable time frame before the protests started also in egypt, so can neither confirm nor deny a higher influence – however, these voices were visible on twitter in that time.)

.

update. our twitter account was just attacked by a person who claims to be a journalist and used a “#88″*** hashtag in one of her/his tweets. we have no idea for what kind of provocation of stupidity this hashtag code was written – we just note that. the person was asked, clearly, twice. to explain what this was doing in the tweet. no answer. the attack however was a complaint about the missing source. the person claimed that “they” spent “8 hours” on research. (who ever “they” are, she did not reply to that) – we have explained that we do not agree with said page’s relativation of the legal case. we disagree with other contents there and this is why we did not want to post a direct link. however – a person is right now complaining that the link is missing. so here it is. (update: was. currently, there are very strange comments on that page with many accusations, claiming that assange is a  “criminal” (see our reply to that), claiming details about the youth phase that seem not really fit to the facts known to the public so far and lots of other stuff.  so – the link will now vanish as long as replies are not getting visible there. for now, you can find that post when searching with the search phrase mentioned in our reply comment entry.) however – our topic here are the tweeted links – see screenshot below – and the mising dissociation from nazis written by WL which is absolutely necessary full stop. people want to know what is going on and a fear of a dissociation, avoiding it, makes them wonder – and – people who want to vote want to know that too.  (repeating: re legal case, we still recommend to check out this video. a european warrant regarding a case like this – in this exact circumstance, in light of cablegate rolling… sorry, no. in light of the fact that a questioning in UK is not that complicated for Sweden to accept – … and in light of the fact that we first want to see a set. a set of europeanwide warrants for comparable cases. a set of them and they have to be older than the assange warrant before we believe that. so: for all those reasons, we repeat we do not endorse many contents there, we do not agree with many of the contents there and regarding the legal case we recommend this video instead. but there was a complaint about the link, that it was missing – so you have it.) – The person claimed that without the link to the page that mentioned this issue the text – our page here – would be “fascist” on our side. Which would be interesting since this would mean any book or newspaper in printed form – without links – would be “fascist”. Go think what you think of such people. For us, this is just incredible. Just simply incredible.

.

.*** about the hashtag – well we are quite sure we don’t have to widely explain that this is a well known nazi hashtag. as mentioned – said account got the question – twice – what this hashtag was doing in the tweet sent to out by that twitter account. everybody gets a chance to explain a typo or what ever kind of error and apologize. this account – the account has a female avatar, the male or female account user claims to be a journalist – this account got the chance to explain twice and did not answer. we just want to note – silently but getting more and more to the point here – we want to note that we have a witness here who saw nazi “greeting formulas”  (in that time back then in written form, as those two words, not as numbers) used in the wl chat channel. wl “supporters” trying to call that – as they usually do – “smearing” will have to be careful since it looks it is not only one witness of that incident here around any more. (our first witness says he/she can not say whether this is typical there – the witness says he/she did not go back there after seeing this. ONE visit and the greeting formulas were there. what a coincident. sure – guests in a channel are just guests, however when a person also in the channel, observing this, is telling the admin to do something about the issue and the stuff just goes on, then the problem gets larger and larger. and now, right now, we are working on the verification whether the 2nd witness of this exact incident is our contact. first proofs are there since the contact started to talk about this exact talk that happened years ago – started to talk about it without being asked about that by our side. we actually did not expect that. but incidents happen, we are working on the final verification right exactly now whether our contact is the written voice that our first witness rememebers, the voice addressing the admin. seriously, maniacs calling themselves “supporters” can at this point try to claim what they claim – things happen – they cause issues – issues have to be addressed, that’s life. in this case, actually, adressing it is not really a complicated thing to do.  writing a public dissociation from nazis is not a master theisis. this can usually be done without waiting for godot. —- now switching back to the current issue: a twitter account first sends a strange nazicode hashtag first, in a tweet, (it is a dead hashtag gladly on twitter since it’s a number code, however… it is just getting more and more serious, fact after fact) – so: this account sends this hashtag first, in the tweet about the missing link, gets twice the question to explain what this hashtag was doing in the tweet, does not answer that question. and today, assanganista, peterkofod and this third account after assanganistas troll stunt use the popping up of an IP phisher in a tweet discussion thread as an easy excuse to start to call -our- account an account of an IP phisher (wow we really must have excellent connections here – we are actually sure that assanganista knows her/himself quite well that her/his reactions to this phishing account popping up in the discussion thread leading her/him to begin now an incredibly super quickly starting own private campaign naming -us- -us, wn030- phishers will look a liiiiiil bit poor to the public – but let them try, it seems to be a typical way of some accounts to deal with issues. assanganista her/himself was told several times to type his/her comment if he/she has someting to add or to note about the issue mentioned here – he/she was told to address what is here on the page – he/she prefers instead to troll twitter accounts and to start a private “wikinews030 IS AN IP PHISHER!” twitter campaign – well let her/him do it. Expecting that the public will believe it might. be. however. a.little.bit.harder. 

.

.

these are just more and more reasons to take that more and more seriously, more and more reasons to do what has to be done and to publish a dissociation that has to be published anyway due to the reasons mentioned in the discussion you see below. a dissociation from nazis, btw, that is – usually – and typically – as long as there are no reasons to hold such a dissociation back – usually a quite uncomplicated thing to do. 

paragraph addressed to assanganista: you were trolling our account with a set of tweets that were nothing but provocations. you were told from the beginning to use the discussion funktion in case you have anything to add to the topic here. you were then, later, demanding that I post a tweet by you, a tweet that, as you said, was revealing the “truth”. actually, we do not believe that. during the entire trolling phase you were not addressing the actual topic a single time. shortly after your set of provocations you immediately used the showing up of an account that sent an IP phishing to the tweet discussion thread – you immediately used that in order to start your private “wikinews030 is an IP Phisher!!” campaign. and you are still asking why your tweets – your links were not posted by us? if you would have done that yourself, there would be replies questioning why your links are supposed to be in anyway related with the issue here. you are quick with accusing other people and take everything you get into your hands to make it useful for your current aim. we were -expecting- you to claim that the fact, the rixstep issue is a fake or a set of accusations about the people or person responsible for the linked page, if necessary also about every person in the reply/discussions there and then of course also about us, – we were expecting it. since you did not show you care for the topic at all, all you want is to find a useful measure to attack what is there, to attack the fact that issues are there – to attack instead of working on it. your links were not even clicked, assanganista, there were too many reasons to expect a set of stuff having nothing to do with the problem described and reported here. you want to prove that expecting unrelated links was wrong? you want to prove that your links were related to the reported problem at all? then you should learn to type in a comment field and to explain thoroughly why you think that.

Now let’s switch to the actual point. Assanganista: You know or should know that your tweet – you were tweeting the exact same link to exact same nazi site – that your tweet is visible on the linked page. So what exactly actually are you trying to explain us.

what. this is another “just a claim”, yes? you think no one will click the link above because you told people stories about it?

no problem, then, here is your tweet, assanganista:

the screenshot of a screenshot. rixstep and assanganista tweet said link to a nazipage.

.

our source – the page where we copied these tweets from – is a page that published these tweets. it is, as you know, assanganista, linked just a couple of paraphraphs above. the actual sources for these tweets however, assanganista, are -you- and -rixstep-. 

.

.

update 29.12. – the other text parts on the pages linked via the link provided ba fusaiko (the one who needs glasses, scroll down to the comments below) – other answers from them are answered in text parts above.  now to the next one. One of the blogs says assanganista’s tweet could not be found when the issue was checked. now you have to know and understand that twitter is not made for good detailed research – they are preparing a way for users to download their tweets, but a real twitter search is not possible, not even with topsy and similar ones. so – if this tweet was deleted by assanganista, this – exactly this information – is what interests pages like ours and our typical readers. so could you, assanganista, kindly add this information there – was it deleted. if yes: WHEN. how quickly after getting the information about the page you linked. (in case you deleted it at all.) 

.

28.12. one of the reactions from their side was hinting at the fact that there are documents proving that the US gov was making up plans involving exactly such campaigns in order to damage the network and assange thinks this will still work?

without knowing about the US gov searching for exactly such issues – without knowing that, such a fail would be a fail anyway.

but if you KNOW this is the case – then, instead of addressing it even faster –  you just go on don’t care a damn and afterwards shout that there is a plan? I mean this guy is 5 years old, what kind of behaviour is that.

.

that there are certain parties extermely interested in causing damage to WL,  however possible – well “news”! – but this is visible in the comments section there plus in  the fact that the page does prefer comments that shout out claims with no proof or source, comments obviously having the aim to hound emotionally. however, this does not change the facts mentioned in the page’s contents there – in case further research proofs that the other ones are also true, not just the tweets (and the tweets would be reasons enough to finally write a clear dissociation).

.

so – to the repost. this is what we found when checking the informations provided by the watch-page:

Here is an article by the Süddeutsche mentioning this Nazi, 17. Mai 2010

.

Reminder: Rixstep is regularly pushed by WL. Tweets to this page are regular in the WL tweetfeed. Until today (Dec 30th – 2012). The Watch-page further claims that the official supporter page (Rixstep is as a supporter no less official since being linked by WL in tweets regularly, actually, and these are anything else but critical tweets… ) – the Watchpage says that this article is linked by the official supportpage justice4assange – also there, no hint that they are actually linking to Nazi material that is then further linking to the Nazis blogpage… – checking this this information reveals: 

.

Date of the screenshot above: Dec 30th, 2012. 

.

.

On March 7th, 2012, WL tweets a link to Fria Tider, a pendant of the Junge Freiheit (re JF, see bottom of this page) (even the svedish wiki page – although “friends” of them try hard to avoid being named what they are – gives enough hints, – just take a look at the article discussion part Kategorin Högerextremism i Sverige ) – (for now, the wiki page about them landed in the category right wing populism –  is there any “supporter” around who would like to call that tweet below – on top of the issues above a “smaller issue” or “non-existent”?)

there were 9 tweets with links to fria tider sent between March 7th and November 28th, 2012. plus a 10th on January 5th, 2013. Note this is actually done deliberately, JA knows perfectly well what he is tweeting and where he is linking. JA also knows perfectly well how much he is damaging support for bradley manning with it. Why we say that? Aside of the fact that lack of verification on such a level would be very surprising for any account claiming to be the official account of a “journalistic” or “media organisation”, aside of the fact that they are busy with Swedish law and media long enough to have an orientation what they are tweeting when they tweet to Fria Tider, he received hints and replies to these tweets early enough to be informed about it for months now. He cares a damn how much damage he is doing for the #freebrad support with this. He gave the final proof of this with the 10th tweet on January 5, 2013. (Actually, to be honest, he gave that proof much earlier. The issues with the financial help delay a couple of years back left aside, the final proof was given with the very first tweet to Fria Tider that was left there, unwithdrawn, open for retweets, after it was tweeted. But this tenth tweet just simply tops it all – it was tweeted while some groupies were freaking out in the #assange hashtag over a hoax article on indymedia that claimed JA was arrested (it was confirmed as a hoax early, the very same day, by a guardian journo) – so: while some groupies were still falling for the “arrest” hoax in the #assange hashtag, he conveniently used the time for the _tenth_ tweet to a right wing extremist paper, seeing absolutely no issue with it – why should they, relativating it is soo easy anyway, isn’t it? – Tweeting it in the middle of the arrest hoax panic is especially disgusting since the people used it for massive retweeting – after all, the official WL account showed this way that everything is allright, isn’t it?  Note that this tweet received, using this tactic, more than 70 retweets on January 5. Well, however – for supporters it’s all no issue, no problem. Life can be great when you live it like an ostrich.)

Update 2.1.2013 – Btw it’s not as it can be currently expected that many supporters writing about WL related topics in English are able to address the issue seriously. Actually, not at all, so far. Let’s take a look at what x70 thinks about it (you for sure remember this nick name, apk mentioned x7o back in January 2011) – so, let’s present you how x7o thinks about reposting nazi content by an official support page, promoting  a nazi blog with a direct link (while not even warning page visitors that this is an article by a notorious nazi and that it’s a nazi blog they in addition promote by direct linking, altough the promoted person is widely kown as a nazi to the media. All that rixstep – and WL, since WL is regularly tweeting links to rixstep – all they had to do is to do at least some basic research on him, and since WL surely does not want us to claim they do not even know how to do basic research, we must assume this was done deliberately) plus linking to that content via the official support page justice4, also regularly pushed via tweets by the official WL account – so: here is what x7o thinks about it. (Let us sum up it for you in a few words: the reaction is basically – “where is the problem…”)
