21.06.2002 CENTER FOR NEW COMMUNITY BACKGROUND BRIEF CNC Uncovers Neo-Nazi's Masquerading as Anti-Globalization ActivistsLiebe Leute, Die National Alliance ist eine der größten und gefährlichsten Neonazi-Organisationen in Nordamerika. In der Vergangenheit hat die National Alliance mehrfach versucht, auf Anti-Globalisierungs-Proteste Einfluss zu nehmen, darunter postings bei indymedia.com und ein Auftritt bei den Protesten in Seattle 1999. CNC schreibt: Center for New Community The Center for New Community has uncovered a violent neo-Nazi organization attempting to infiltrate the anti-globalization movement. A new group calling itself the Anti-Globalism Action Network (AGAN), has emerged to protest the G8 meeting in Canada next week but is merely being used as a facade by the National Alliance. AGAN has been circulating a press release about a "cycle of violence" at the upcoming protests of the G8 meeting in Kananaskis, Canada, on June 26-27. In reality, AGAN is little more than a front for the neo-Nazi National Alliance. The group's website www.g8activist.com is even registered to the Canadian branch of the National Alliance. Headquartered in Hillsboro, West Virginia, the National Alliance is one of the largest and most dangerous neo-Nazi organizations in North America. Recently, the National Alliance has adopted numerous strategies aimed at both recruiting from and disrupting progressive activists, including rogue postings to local indymedia.com sites and an appearance at the Seattle anti-globalization protests of 1999. Through their "Anti-Globalism Action Network", the National Alliance hopes to continue this process by inciting violence and recruiting unsuspecting anti-globalization activists. According to the group's anti-Semitic worldview, organizations like the G8, IMF, and World Bank are the tools that the Jewish elite uses in their quest for world domination. It is vital that antiglobalization activists and organizations expose and oppose this hateful message, making it clear that the anti-globalization movement will not tolerate organized bigotry in its midst. Individuals or organizations that come into contact with AGAN should refuse to work with them and alert others to do the same. Note: individuals associated with AGAN may use the names "Anthony Phillips" and "Graham Peters." If you are contacted by this or similar sounding organizations, please contact the Center for New Community. CYCLE OF VIOLENCE WILL CONTINUE AT G8 SUMMITThe Anti-Globalism Action Network (AGAN), an ad hoc collection of anti-globalism activists, predicts that the violence surrounding past G8 meetings will erupt once again in Kananaskis. The failure of Canada, and other Western countries, to address the root causes of the protests, rather than just their symptoms, ensures that the cycle of violent protest and repressive countermeasure will continue. Western governments, whose true loyalties lie with the financial elite and special-interest groups, give lip service to democracy; yet respond with tear-gas and rubber bullets when the citizenry attempts to participate in the political process. The Canadian people would be much better served by a government that invests in environmental protection, national sovereignty, and measures to curb the growing power of both multi-national corporations and media oligarchies, than in a government which serves those whose ultimate aim is our subjugation on a global plantation. Responsibility for the cycle of violence does not lie exclusively with Western governments; the media shares part of the blame. The lust by the media for sensational sound bytes from tear-gased teenagers is nothing less than fetishistic. The power of the media lies in part in its ability to masquerade as neutral and independent observers, when in fact the growing concentration of media control has resulted in the media becoming a vested member of the establishment. The movement against globalization has assembled a broad coalition of often contradictory interests. The lack of hierarchical leadership with a clear political program has created a void that is being filled by more hierarchical elements. "You'd be surprised at the diversity found within the Anti-globalism movement," says Anthony Phillips of AGAN. "The active participation of one organization in particular should send shockwaves throughout the establishment, as they break all the stereotypes of the anti-globalism movement being strictly a preserve of the traditional radical-left."
