FINISHED U OFF‖ (5/1/09); ―the abused become the abusers, the victims of genocide<br />

become grow up to become the perpetrators of the same crime. ―and the Germans kill the<br />

jews and the jews kill the arabs and the arabs kill the hostages and that is the news‖ Roger<br />

waters.‖ (4/1/09) and ―bugger the Israeli govt.! Zionist dogs!!! just b/c the Nazis gave some<br />

of them a hard time last century they think they can do what they like!‖ (3/1/09).<br />

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 />
