The sad display of violent confrontation at the Reclaim Australia anti-Muslim protest rally was disgusting to watch on the news. Neither side of the opposing groups looked to be fair representation of everyday Australians. Bogans fighting bogans is all I saw.

The news story raised the question for me, 'who is Reclaim Australia?' This morning I read through the Reclaim Australia website http://www.reclaimaustralia.net/

Wow, what a bunch (if there is actually a bunch) of nutters. Reclaim Australia is a weird religious group who follow a God called 'Yhwh'. The group is not just anti-Muslim, it is even more so against all western governments.

Judge for yourself... the following is the group's Mission Statement:
"Reclaim Australia has one main purpose, and that is to assist and educate the people of Australia as to whom they really are, to help guide them to follow the higher laws of Yhwh, our Heavenly Father, to live the way our heavenly father wanted his children to live, to reclaim their country from the parasites and predators of the Abdicated Corporate Government of Babylon and Caesar's world of Satan."

The first paragraph on the home page reads (notice the grammatical errors):
"All Law is biblical, and that it represents a Covenant between man and Yhwh which is characterized as divine revelation. when we consider that government is founded exclusively on law, government itself then becomes a religion to implement or execute or enforce divine revelation. when government abuses the authority delegated by Yhwh through Yhwh Law, then it also becomes a false religious cult. this makes all western government nothing more than a cult surrounding the false religion it created with its own unjust law because this law has become a vain substitute and an affront to Yhwh's Law found in the bible."

I rest my case..

Conservative hippie,
From the reports I've read on Facebook regarding the Melbourne rally the Police allowed Rise Up! and certain "neo Nazis" to enter the precinct then encircled them and drew in their outer defensive line of Socialists, anarchists and whoever.
I didn't bother going to this rally firstly because Reclaim are controlled opposition and also because I knew how it was going to play out but I've been to other similar gatherings and seen exactly how the Police and "Leftists" manage them.
Anthony Main, Mel Gregson, Alex Sproule, and the other "socialist" facilitators co-ordinate their actions in co-operation with the Police commanders on the day, I've seen this with my own eyes, Mr Main is constantly running back and forth between the body of the protest and the Police brass.

Mr Sproule and his goons typically run a sort of flying picket or patrol in areas surrounding the protest venue, either harassing and assaulting the "right wingers" or directing Police to such people who are quickly escorted away.

It's fairly obvious why the "Nazis" and Rise Up! were the only ones allowed to proceed to the protest site, we know that the "Nazis" are Liberal party operatives and Danny Nalliah's allegiances are well documented.
To sum up, the controlled opposition numbering some 100 people were directed by police to assemble on the upper concourse, a position easily defensible by relatively small detachments of officers, the Police lines were then reinforced by the "Left" protest group and the other "concerned citizens" numbering some say, 300 or so were prevented from attending the Reclaim rally and subjected to harassment and intimidation by the counter protestors.

The rallies in other capitals by all accounts went off without too much drama but the Victorian situation was entirely predictable and patriots, nationalists and such were warned to stay away from the inevitable debacle.

Oh dear:

Now why would "Nazis" be standing alongside Jews and vice versa at Federation Square on Saturday?

"Yesterday, The Australian Jewish Communal Lobby posted an offer of a fully funded legal defence for anyone arrested at any of the nationwide events of the Reclaim Australia Movement.
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of those individuals who have responsible for successfully painting reclaim Australia as a white supremacist neo nazi movement. You may notice on our following posts, we have included original photos that were doctored and disseminated around the internet so as to give the impression that this falsehood was in fact the truth. The image below is just one example of the lies being spread."

Hip, all I know is 'Yhwh' was the name the early Israelite's gave to their god. The Israelite's who were possibly decedents of Canaanites and most likely based their religion on the religions of tribes located to the south and east of present day Israel. Incidentally, at one time uttering the name 'Yhwh' got you the death penalty.
These people are all micro groups of fermented fruit cakes.

Jay, the police are all part of some radical leftists conspiracy. Those links of yours are hardly compelling evidence!

Paul,
Err no, the "Leftists" in inverted commas and the Police work together, ie the facilitators of the counter rally are more like Police informers or collaborators than "conspirators", Anthony Main, Alex Sproule, Mel Gregson, Jacob Grech and their small group of "socialists" are pseudo Leftists who operate with the Police to control demonstrations.
That's not to say that all the participants in the counter rally were in on it but since I've been to identical events in Melbourne and participated in counter rallies opposing "right wing" provocation and you haven't I'll continue to assert my expertise in the matter. I obviously don't have links to the things I've seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears but Paul I've stood two feet away from these guys and heard them conversing with senior Police, seen them help the cops drag "right wing" people away or assault them and so forth.
Fake Lefties, Fake Nazis and controlled opposition, the Rise Up! and Neo Nazi figures were ushered into Fed Square early and when the Reclaim people arived at the arranged time they were prevented from joining the demonstration on the upper level, the Police formed the inner cordon and their collaborators from the Socialist Party marshalled the counter demonstration to form the outer cordon. Anthony Main was even heard complaining to the Police commander that he had to "split his forces" to deal with groups of reclaim supporters arriving from the St Kilda Rd and Birrarung Mar directions.
Believe me genuine "progressives" have tried to have Main and his people removed from other protest groups, such as the anti East-West Link but they're protected and take over almost every protest movement in order to steer it in a certain direction.
Here he is again:

Taking charge, don't the people look thrilled at being ordered around by a Police informer:

Yes, just another crazy group of religious idiots claiming to be better than everyone else as usual. One group is as bad as the next.

Personally, I think they are more likely to worship the 'white Australia Policy, like our own Jay Of Melbourne, than any supposed God in the sky.
Shades of Nazism and KKK.....
