A report of the days events by Jim Osborne:
Members of Nationalist Alternative attended an impromptu protest at
the Victorian State Library lawns to voice opposition to the Muslim
backlash at the film the “Innocence of Muslims”. Fearing a repeat of
Sydney’s violence and display or cultural aggression against Australia,
patriots, nationalists and atheists, as well as other individuals and
passers by gathered at the library lawns.
The Melbourne Muslim community has planned for a protest in Melbourne
on this Sunday. This prompted many Australians, concerned about their
nation and the imposition of religion onto our largely secular society
to stage a counter rally, to send a clear message that this behaviour is
neither tolerated or welcome.
The Muslim rally however was called off, due to supposed fears of
violence from police and ‘racists’. But with the possibility of some
renegade Muslims creating a protest of their own, and with a desire to
be heard, the anti-Muslim gathering took place regardless, though
undoubtedly would have been much larger in size had the Muslim rally not
been cancelled. One Australian I had spoken to informed me that many of
his work colleagues would have come to the city to counter-protest, had
it been on.
For Nationalist Alternative, the event was important, and regardless
of whether a rally would be held or not, we would make our presence
known. It was also an opportunity for Nationalist Alternative to take
part in the Melbourne Speakers Forum, a public debate held at the State
Library Lawns each Sunday afternoon.
Nationalist Alternative members arrived at approximately 11AM. Also
present were other supporters of Nationalist Alternative, who showed
their support by wearing our T-Shirts. Various other Nationalists and
activists were also present.
At this time, there were few others around. Notably an increasing
police and media presence who at this point, had their attention drawn
to some of the Nationalist Alternative supporters and others who were
present in black jackets. Cameras were recording from the streets, from
the lawns and from the roof of a nearby apartment complex. Nationalist
Alternative were approached by the media, but declined to make any
comment due to the risk of media distortion and misleading reporting.
After noon, the crowd grew larger. A small atheist group with
matching T-Shirts, and placards reading “(Among other religions) Islam
is false” and “Don’t just believe. Think”. They drew much media
attention, were interviewed and then began to engage in friendly debate
with others.
Also notably present, was a small group of young Australians who had
large signs with “Africa for the Africans, Palestine for the
Palestinians and White countries for Everyone. Stop the Genocide of MY
race” on them. This is the message of B.U.G.S, and it was pleasing to
see this message pointing out this genocidal attitude present. They were
however soon after arrival, were required to relinquish the placards by
orders of the Victorian Police. It is worthy to note, that the placard
that stated “Islam is false” was considered acceptable, but one talking
about how white countries are for everyone wasn’t. The B.U.G.S. mantra
exposes the anti-white aspect of anti-racism and multiculturalism. The
fact that it was this message, this symbol, this statement which was
considered a threat above all others there (and this is including a
swastika!). Why was this statement removed and singled out? Because it
was a statement which represented the greatest threat to the anti-white
multiculturalist establishment, a statement which exposes the genocidal
nature of Liberalism and draws attention to it.
The system doesn’t fear anti-Islam sentiment, nor flag waving
Australian youth, or even skinheads, but it does fear this message.
Because it is effective.
A
debate started between a Muslim and the Atheist organisation which drew
a large crowd, and it is this debate which the media have been
referring to as the heated debate, as the argument. Those who have seen
the Speakers Forum on other Sundays, will have seen much more heated
debates. The fact is, while it was a spirited and emotional debate,
there was no sign and no indication that it would become anything other
than a heated debate. The debate continued with another gentleman
arguing against the Islamic violence and a few others joining in. The
police only got involved in order to expel the Muslim, who was
unceremoniously carted out of the area with a chorus of “Aussie Aussie
Aussie!” for accompaniment.
This was essentially, the only event of the day. Speeches were given
by people, including Nationalist Alternative to the crowd, and then soon
after, the crowd dispersed, with debates and discussions occurring
among the crowd.
All in all, this event must have been a big let down for the media.
Anticipating a juicy example of racism, of anti-Islamic violence, it was
all in all, a civilised affair. The ‘heated debate’, of which there was
only one, was comparable to those that occur with street corner
Christian evangelists on a boozy Friday night. The overwhelming police
presence, including the mounted police, and the media presence was
disproportionately greater than the event. Without anything actually
happening, we can only assume that some media agencies will try to sex
this up.
Some of the current headlines are.
From the Herald Sun. “Muslim protests fizzle on the steps of the State Library in central Melbourne “i
The Herald Sun also quoted “Some men on the library steps were
dressed in T-shirts promoting the Nationalist Alternative – a group
devoted to reaffirming Australian culture and restoring the sovereignty
and independence of the Australian nation, according to its website.” ii
From SBS “Protest fears fade in Sydney, Melbourne” iii
Who the ‘racists’ which the Muslims were afraid of, isn’t quite
known, but Nationalist Alternative did not advertise our intention to
attend in any public forum. There were facebook comments, and social
media organisation to be sure from others. If this organisation, and the
Nationalist Alternative presence discouraged Muslims from protesting
then this is a service to the people of Melbourne. This discouragement
has avoided what would likely have been a disruptive and violent
encounter. Melbourne was spared this because Australians, having
witnessed scenes in Sydney, and around the world said “NO” to Islamic
political pressure and bully boy cultural imperialism. Australians
gathered at the State Library lawns in an impromptu display of
nationalism, in defiance of Islamofascism and the trouble that it
brings. Australians showed that when it comes to defending their country
and their culture, they aren’t wimps, they aren’t willing to be stand
idly by and allow anti-western Muslims ride roughshod over their way of
life. The end result was a peaceful defiance, an expression of free
speech. The media are having difficulty finding a negative angle. A
peaceful gathering instead of a repeat of Sydney’s violent riot. I’m
sure that most Australians would be happy with that, and I’m sure that
many of the police, despite having reservations about some people, would
have much rather what happened today, than what happened in Sydney. As
would most Australians.
