The " White Supremacist " Movement !

 The second world war was a disaster for humanity.  Adolf Hitler's mad dream of world conquest killled millions of people and sent millions more into abject slavery as they were tasked for war production. When the guns fell silent, the people of Germany faced a ruined nation of bombed cities and occupation by the victors.

What is remarkable is the theology preached by Adolf Hitler has world wide followers living in todays western democracies.  This is the same white supremacist movement that was the core of National Socialism and it has many active cells that are plotting terror against people of colour, other religions and just anybody who looks different from themselves.

What is more alarming is this moverment appears to be growing.  One Australian follower recently went to New Zealand and gunned down families at prayer in their mosques.  This follows other mass shootings that have occurred in other countries and made the authorities aware of the growing danger here in Australia.

This white supremacist movement festers underground and is the subject of attention by our Joint Counter Tererorist Teams drawn from both the Federal police and the NSW police force.  Thjey have the important task of  gathering information as to who and where these cells are located and what actions they are planning.

This resulted in the arrest and charging of an eighteen year old from the Albury district on the border of New South Wasles and Victioria who was active in planning a mass casualty event.  He had access to bomb making materials and was planning to distribute this to others.  The targets were clearly non whites, immingrants and members of the Jewish and Islamic faiths.

Countering the white supremacist mnovement clashes with our concept of a free Australia.  We pride ourselves to be able to follow whatever political movement we choose and that includes National Socialism.  It is not against the law to have thoughts that run counter to public opinion nor to communicate those thoughts to others.  It only becomes unlawful when that reaches the active stage in which the end result will be harm to others.

That is where the great divide between our democracy and Hitler's National Socialism becomes most evident.   During the Nazi ascendancy in Europe anyone even suspected of having thoughts against the regime in power would be arrested and sent to a concentration camp.   No other political movement was tolerated and the leader assumed supreme power.

This white supremacist movement in Australia is quite safe unless it takes an active role in causing harm to others.  Distasteful as it may be to most decent people we are tolerant of different opinion and such views can be freely expressed publicly.

It is comforting to know that a specialist police contingent is keeping watch on this movement and has the power to intervene when ever an action programme creates a risk to the public.
