Siberia: Activist killed in Neo-nazi attack on anti-nuclear Camp

by Takver (Oceania Indymedia)
Saturday Jul 21st, 2007
An anti-nuclear activist has been killed and several others injured in a neo-nazi attack on an environmental camp protesting the establishment of a new uranium enrichment plant near Lake Baikal in the Irkutsk Region in southeastern Siberia early Saturday.

Up to 15 attackers raided the camp about 1.10 am (local time) on Saturday brandishing metal rods, knives and air pressure guns. About 21 environmentalists were at the camp at the time. The campers were expecting some kind of attack and had organized three night guards, but they were much too few and easily overpowered.

All the tents were destroyed along with many personal possessions destroyed or stolen. Initial assistance and first aid arrived about 15 minutes after the attack. Taking the injured to hospital took some time as the camp is located in a relatively remote location in a forest.

The camp had been established on July 15 to protest against a planned international centre for enrichment of uranium in the city of Angarsk near Lake Baikal. The camp had been subject to initial harassment by security services with illegal detentions for short periods of time.

President Vladimir Putin proposed setting up the uranium enrichment center in 2006 at the electrolysis plant in Angarsk to enrich uranium from Kazakhstan.

One of the injured died while in intensive care in hospital. Siberia IMC identified the activist as Ilya Ugler, a 20-year-old from the far eastern port city of Nakhodka. "Two active workers are in a grave condition in hospital (craniocereberal traumas and crises of hands). Other active workers have received less severe traumas." said a report at 07:53am at Siberia IMC.

"They were well prepared, wearing masks," said Andrei Kravchuk, one of the environmental protesters at the camp at the time. "They shouted nationalist slogans, I don't know why — this is an environmental camp," he said according to the NTV channel as quoted in an International Herald Tribune report.

Interior Ministry spokesman Valery Grigakin denied the attack was from right wing extremists saying "All of those detained are young people. Some of them are unemployed, some are students. As they explained ... They wanted to run amok and get some money out of the tourists and the people at the camp," he said in televised remarks according to the International Herald Tribune.

Local police have identified at least 13 attackers with four already in custody, and are investigating the attack as hooliganism with the motivation being theft, rather than a politically motivated attack, despite evidence of increasing violence by rightwing and neo-nazi groups in Russia and Siberia.

Activists have appealed for assistance to meet funeral expenses and the medical treatment of victims.

Red & Brown Axis Unite!

Below is an atricle written by the anti-White, Zionofascist and racist "crypto-Jew", Michael Coren.


MICHAEL COREN
I received an e-mail last week from someone called Yusuf Patel, which read, "You are a crypto-Jew on top of being a little piece of (expletive). You love money more than anything because of your Jewish origin. You talk about fairness the same way FOX news is fair and balanced.

"You are out and out racist you little piece of (expletive). You came out of the gutters of England and you show your origin as soon as you open your (expletive) dirty mouth. You have no self-respect, but how can I expect that from a crypto-Jew! You have no sense of shame because you are a psychopath that means you have no conscience you donkey."

Such e-mails are entirely typical and are repeatedly sent to people who speak out in support of Israel, who oppose Islamic extremism or defend Christianity.

The people who write these letters assume that they can never be traced.

Not so. I have tracked death threats to New Zealand, the United States and Europe. All have been dealt with.

Just days ago on British television, award-winning columnist and broadcaster Richard Littlejohn presented an extensive documentary on the new anti-Semitism.

In it he and his guests, mostly non-Jewish, explained how shocked they were that the majority of hatred of Jews seemed to come from white leftists and young Muslims.

[.....]

The explanation is that a great deal of what was known as the anti-racist movement has been hijacked by an obsession with condemning the United States and Zionism.

We saw this during marches in Toronto and Montreal where left-wingers chanted that they were, "All Hezbollah Now!" The Islamic terror group in question is fascistic, theocratic and vehemently anti-gay and anti-feminist.

It stands, in fact, for almost everything socialism claims to oppose.

The Downside Of Socialized Medicine

KINCARDINE -- They don't have babies in this town any more.

Oh, sure, people fall in love and get married. Women get pregnant. But when it comes time to deliver the baby, they have to head out of town -- to Owen Sound, an hour away, or Walkerton, a 30 minute drive.

Kincardine is just one of scores of communities that have a doctor shortage. The local hospital, serving 12,000 people, doesn't have an obstetrician to deliver babies.

Local councillor Ken Craig is on a town committee working on strategies to attact more doctors and to keep those who are already here. He estimates that between 3,500 and 4,000 residents don't have a family doctor. Those people use the so-called "orphan clinic." It's not a perfect solution, because it means patients don't get to see the same doctor all the time, but it's the best they can do right now.

"It's just a question of supply and demand," says Craig. "The highest bidder gets the doctor."

And the emergency sign on the hospital could apply to most rural communties when it comes to doctors. They are in crisis.

Tax break on appliances

A provincial tax holiday for energy efficient appliances went into effect yesterday, giving consumers a break on the cost of many major home purchases.

Ontario Finance Minister Greg Sorbara said yesterday that he expects the year-long program will cost the treasury about $51 million in tax revenues. The Retail Sales Tax exemption, which applies to the purchase of Energy Star household products, was announced as part of the government's climate change initiative.

Votes up for grabs

(The ABC's of Ontario Election 2007 -- An ongoing series examining the issues in the countdown to the Oct. 10th vote, with a look today at the "ballot box" question.)

One in 10 voters in the last federal election made up their minds while in front of the ballot box.

Another 21% made up their minds in the last weekend of the campaign.

SES Research President Nik Nanos, whose polling firm conducted the federal election research, said this kind of information should send a chill down the spine of political strategists whose job it is to craft the campaign's key messages long before it's time to vote.

"In the last 72 hours, three out of 10 made their decision," he said.

Anti-Semitic Jihad Propaganda on VisionTV

VisionTV picked up a lot of static yesterday.

A news report in the National Post revealed that the non-profit broadcaster aired an hour-long talk by Muslim preacher Israr Ahmad.

"Jihad in the way of Allah, for the cause of Allah, can be pursued either with your financial resources or your bodily strength when you go to fight the enemy in the battlefield," urged Ahmad in the broadcast. "So jihad, the highest form, is fighting in the cause of Allah."

Who is the enemy? All non-Muslims, but Jews in particular. According to the Post, Ahmad has in his books described the Holocaust as "divine punishment" and compared Jews to "parasites".

At first, VisionTV officials didn't have a problem with giving air-time to a hatemonger. All part of freedom of expression and religion, they said.

Closing arguments made in case about limiting free speech

CALGARY (CP) - Closing arguments were made before an Alberta human rights tribunal Friday into a complaint about a letter published in a newspaper that suggested homosexuals are as immoral as pedophiles and drug dealers.

The letter by former pastor Stephen Boissoin was published five years ago in the Red Deer Advocate.

University of Calgary professor Darren Lund complained that it exposed homosexuals to hatred and contempt.

In his closing statement, Lund suggested the letter was clearly an expression of hatred and contempt for homosexuals.

However, another University of Calgary professor, Barry Cooper, testified that Boissoin's opinions did not constitute hate speech, even though they may have been crude and offensive.

Lawyers for Boissoin have argued that a ruling in Lund's favour would hinder his freedom of expression and religion, as well as freedom of the press.

The Alberta Human Rights Commission now has 60 days to decide whether the letter incited hatred, or was merely intended to spawn political debate.

Harper Visits Haitian Slum

National traitor and Zionofascist Prime Minister Stephan Harper is going to give these people "about $100 million a year until 2011". This comes as no surprise.

Just a few weeks ago I was chatting with a man who happened to have a Mexican wife and mixed race children. His daughter, a young Mestizo about age 14, was part of some sort of Girl Guide-ish group that was going to Madagascar to fix some polluted river. The project is going to cost $150, 000 Canadian dollars, coming straight out of tax payers pockets!

So, for Canada to be handing over money to Negro 3rd world slums, giving away our earned money, is no suprise to me. Our treasonous Government gives away so much money it's no wonder there are dieing homeless people all over the larger cities.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (CP) - Prime Minister Stephen Harper became the first foreign leader in many years to visit the infamous Cite Soleil slum at the heart of the Haitian capital Friday - a symbolic gesture to demonstrate that the hemisphere's poorest and possibly most dangerous neighbourhood has improved along with the rest of the country.

But that image was far from clear. The prime minister's motorcade was led by an army jeep with three heavily armed UN troops, one pointing a mounted machine-gun directly at the throng of people lining the rutted roadway.

"I think all of us as fellow human beings, people who have our own families, only begin to understand the true difficulties and challenges that so many people face on a day-to-day basis, it is extraordinary," Harper said after seeing the troubled area.

"And I think Canadians should be very proud that they are offering to help, that our help is
making a difference in terms in safety of people's lives, in terms of giving them some hope and some opportunity."


Harper's assessment was backed by Haitian president RenePreval , who said the Canadian leader's visit would have been ill-advised only six months ago, when gangs of thugs menaced the locals and anyone who ventured into the neighbourhood of dirt streets, open sewers and
tin-roofed shacks.

Preval noted that Canada's aid to his country is its second largest, next to Afghanistan, with commitments of about $100 million a year until 2011 - a large number considering Haiti's population of 8.5 million.
