After the imprisonment of Holocaust denier Fredrick Toben a series of antisemitic postings<br />
on aus.politics news group were placed. (17/8, 18/8, 24/8, 28/8/09).<br />
The internet has also been used as a means for racists to promote and purchase material such<br />
as neo-Nazi computer games.<br />
5.2 Websites Based in Australia<br />
It is relatively easy and requires little effort for individuals and organisations to develop<br />
websites which become part of the internet. Because there is so much material on the<br />
internet, the more sophisticated group will try to establish links with mainstream or less<br />
overtly racist sites as well as promoting their material through newsgroups and lists.<br />
The web-sites can be separated into a number of categories. Some have the primary<br />
purpose of promoting an ideology or philosophy which is fundamentally antisemitic.<br />
Others promote a range of conspiracy theories, including some which are antisemitic. A<br />
third type promote racist organisations, which include antisemitism in their world view<br />
while they do not necessarily include antisemitism in their public utterances. A further<br />
group provide direct links to antisemitic material. In the last category are internet<br />
"newspapers" which combine features of all the above.<br />
In addition, some individual Australian internet users have republished or provide links to<br />
material such as The National Socialism Primer and The Protocols of the Learned Elders<br />
of Zion.<br />
One website published by Peter Hartung in Adelaide, AustraliaFreePress.org, included a<br />
wide-range of conspiracy material, including Holocaust denial, a number of anti-Israel<br />
articles and attacks on individual <strong>Jewish</strong> personalities as frauds, paedophiles and anti-<br />
Christian. A sub-directory, “Holocaust under attack”, contained articles such as<br />
“Holocaust is Nothing But a HoloHoax”, “The ‗Holocaust‘ is a Typical Zionist Myth”, “The<br />
<strong>Jewish</strong> War on Freedom of Speech” and “Holocaustianity: The state religion of the United States<br />
of America‖. The home page included comments such as ―6 million FILTHY LIES‖, ―<strong>Jewish</strong><br />
Hate‖, ―the Holy Book of Adolf Hitler [which shows] the German religion will rise again to<br />
liberate the world from the bonds, spiritual and material, of <strong>Jewish</strong> Mammon‖;‖ The Psychology<br />
of Holocaustianity” as well as direct quotes from Mein Kampf and promotions of The<br />
Protocols of Zion. AustraliaFreePress declared its “aim” in the following form: ―Door to<br />
Freedom: The principal aim of this site is to free the <strong>World</strong> from Mammonism and its Culture of<br />
Death, for this is the origin of the contemporary afflictions of Mankind. Hence, we will:<br />
1.Illustrate the everyday ugliness and brutality of <strong>World</strong> Zionist Plutocratic rule as it emanates<br />
from Washington and offends the whole human race with its insolence. THESIS: The Zionists rose<br />
to power through money-lending and their power can be broken by national monopolization of the<br />
lending of money at interest. Otherwise, though, we support properly regulated capitalist<br />
economy as the basis of human fulfillment and State security. 2. Expose the origin of Mammonism<br />
in the shameful and inhuman commands of Jahwe, the god of the Hebrews. THESIS: The war<br />
