Following Sunday’s tragic events in Bondi, NSW, the time for action is now against all hate groups.
These racist hate groups, born from the aftermath of the Cronulla riots and anti-vaxxers, need to be nipped in the bud, and they need to be nipped in the bud now. ASIO would not confirm to VicNews if they were aware that anyone involved in these radical, racist groups is the holder of a firearms licence. The time to check that is today.
Whilst some will say Sunday’s tragic events happened because of ‘Muslim immigration’ who ‘don’t share Australian values’, this is simply not true, as the heroic acts of Muslim tobaccanist Ahmed al-Ahmed demonstrated on Sunday.
Smit, founder of Reignite Democracy Australia (RDA), claims to have nothing to do with hate groups, but has supported them, both directly and indirectly, in the past. There are several direct links and associations between Smit’s ‘Put Australia First‘ (PAF) rallies and neo-Nazi’s in ‘HH’ puffer jackets, including Thomas Sewell.
Bec Freedom is another one with direct ties to the National Socialist Network and neo-Nazis. She is the founder of the ‘Put Australia First’ (PAF) rallies.
“The Bondi shooting that happened on the 14th of December is a direct impact of the multicultural society that has been pushed onto Australians,” Freedom says.
As you can see, this could lead to the same tragedy that occurred in Bondi on Sunday night. The time to act and stamp these groups out is today.
It is known that Monica Smit’s ‘Reignite Democracy Australia’ has close, ongoing and direct associations with the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network (NSN), including Thomas Sewell, which is also attempting to register a ‘White Australia’ political party.
It is noted that many of Smit’s cohort are also ‘sovereign citizens‘ and believe that by simply placing an ad in the public notices of a local newspaper, the laws of the state (and/or nation) do not apply to them, including firearms laws.
As such, they argue that they are ‘sovereign citizens’ and as such state and federal firearms laws do not apply to them. ASIO must check them all out for firearms, given they claim that the law doesn’t apply to them and they can ‘do what they want’.
Not just the organisers, such as Bec ‘Freedom’ and Monica Smit, but every one of their followers, online commenters and supporters also need to be red-flagged, checked, and their premises searched for firearms and ammunition.
Their Telegram channels and ‘secret’ chat groups also need to be monitored by ASIO and the AFP.
Yes. It was a father and son who were radicalised Muslims who had access to firearms who committed those heinous acts. What we have with Smith, Freedom and their radicalised ‘sovereign citizen’ cohort is highly radicalised white Anglo-Saxon Australians. What we don’t know is how many of them have access to firearms.
Many think the law does not apply to them, so they must all be checked out for firearms.
Given that many of these people believe that the laws of the land do not apply to them because they took out a public notice in a newspaper, one can assume they apply the same logic to firearms laws. It’s time for ASIO to check them all out.
It is time for ASIO to place Monica Smit, among others of her cohort, on ASIO watchlists and to search their homes for firearms. As should anybody who supports their causes online also be checked for firearms, and their homes raided.
The time for the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) to take action against all parties involved in these racist activist groups is now. Serious questions need to be asked of the organisers and all participants.
With Australia Day just over a month away, the time is now to check if any person involved, whether directly or indirectly with the MFA, PAF, is checked for firearms. These groups are full of hate.
All it takes is one of Smit’s anti-immigrant ‘sovereign citizens’ with a firearm, and we’ve got Bondi Mark II on our hands. Let’s nip it in the bud early.
It is also known that MAF and PAF are avid supporters of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, which has direct ties with America’s National Rifle Association (NRA). It is therefore imperative that anyone involved in these groups is placed on an ASIO watchlist and their homes searched for firearms, given their direct links to America’s NRA and radicalisation.
The time to act is today.
Anti-immigration, anti anything that isn’t ‘White Australia’. If any of the participants have access to firearms, we could end up with a similar situation to Bondi on Sunday.
Whilst they deny it, there are indisputable and provable direct links between all of these anti-immigrant ‘white Australia’ groups, and they are supported by a content creator (he is not a journalist and never has been), and “proud Jewish Nazi” Avi Yemini, who also should be placed on an ASIO watchlist, as should anyone involved with Rebel News (Australia).
Pauline Hanson and all members of her party also need to be checked for firearms.
The problem is not multiculturalism. The problem is radicalisation on all sides. We need to work to stamp out all forms of radicalisation, and stamping out the sovereign citizen movement would be a good first step, given it is they who – led by Pauline Hanson – stoke so much of the hatred and fear, often draped in an Australian flag for cosplay.
The issue that needs tackling is not immigration. The issue that needs tackling is radicalisation.
We can start with ‘Put Australia First,’ ‘Reignite Democracy Australia,’ ‘March for Australia’ and Pauline Hanson’s One Nation. That is where the seeds of hate are sown and grow from.
