"And to think there are politicians in the Western World who criticize the lack of freedom of speech in Iran or China!

I am free now, but a desperate fight is ahead of me for my rights and the rights of the people of Europe to hear me. They truly do want to hear me and they need to hear me and my message. Today videos of talks and appearances are reaching tens of millions of people.

I think by now that you know my spirit, that I simply cannot back down from aiding our brothers and sisters efforts for their heritage in our ancient homelands of Europe any more than I could cease the fight for America. This a global effort to destroy our people, and it requires a global effort on our part to win it. We in America and Canada, Australia, across Europe and even across Russia must help awaken each other and aid each other.

I won’t go into to many details of my arrest at this moment as a court case is yet to be fought, but I was imprisoned by a gross twisting of travel laws in a blatant attempt by the government to prevent a private and peaceful gathering of about a 100 German citizens eager to hear my message of heritage and freedom. My arrest and imprisonment was meant to silence my message and demoralize the people who came to hear it.

For hours before my scheduled presentation at a private event, Police under orders from the politicians stopped all of our cars, including a couple over 90 years old who had driven over 75 kilometers to hear me. They demanded ID from all, delaying them for a long time on the street, and they told the people specifically that the meeting was cancelled. There at the police checkpoint, after a number of people had gone on to the private meeting site, they arrested me. Of course, the claim that the meeting was cancelled was a huge lie. The meeting was not cancelled. The owner of the hall honored the contract with the group, and in fact the meeting went on without me, thanks to the brave people who withstood all the intimidation, and who still persevered and made their way to the hall.

As much as I would like to, I can’t just go back to Louisiana right now as I have to fight this improper action against me and our brothers and sisters. I just can’t turn my back and run away, no matter how comfortable it may be for me to do so. My duty is to stand up for my rights and that of the European people. The truth is that I and all who stand up for the heritage and freedom of the European and American people truly stand up for the most basic of human rights. The right of every people to be free, to freely speak and assemble, the right to be independent and not live under a globalist tyranny, and the right to preserve their identity and unique expressions of humanity. This is a right of Europeans and a right possessed by all people on Earth, but it is only Europeans who are condemned for even speaking in defense of these precious human rights."

David Duke plans to fight arrest in Germany

Published: Wednesday, November 30, 2011, 10:00 PM



David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan leader, ex-Louisiana lawmaker and America's most recognizable pied piper for white power, said this week that he aims to fight his recent arrest in Germany (http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2011/11/david_duke_arrested_in_germany.html) as he was preparing to lecture on the outskirts of Cologne.

Vahid Salemi, The Associated PressDavid Duke, left, listens to a speech during a conference on the Holocaust in December 2006 in Tehran, Iran.

Duke, who once peddled Nazi propaganda from his legislative office, was detained Friday not far from where Adolf Hitler was greeted by adoring crowds 75 years ago after he violated the Treaty of Versailles by allowing the German military machine to reoccupy the Rhineland.

Duke was expected to be greeted at a restaurant by about 60 white nationalists. Instead, he was met by a small army of officers who threw him in jail for violating travel restrictions.

The arrest appears to relate to an earlier ban by Switzerland that effectively barred him from staying in any country signed on to Europe's Schengen Agreement, a 1985 open-border treaty. He reportedly was held overnight before authorities released him and ordered him to leave the country.

The 61-year-old white supremacist, whose brief public flirtation with a 2012 presidential run appears to have waned, had been invited to speak by a pair of local right-wing groups, according to the German news outlet Die Welt.

Local authorities got wind of the gathering and sent about 100 officers to stop and search incoming attendees.

Duke had transit status, meaning he could only travel through the country, but not linger. A statement from Cologne police said Duke "was not entitled to stay in Germany" due to a travel ban from another European country.

In a Web message to his followers that was "composed in a moving car!,"

Duke wrote that he was "imprisoned by a gross twisting of travel laws in a blatant attempt by the government to prevent a private and peaceful gathering of about a 100 German citizens eager to hear my message of heritage and freedom." He said he planned to stick around to wage a legal battle over his arrest.

"As much as I would like to, I can't just go back to Louisiana right now as I have to fight this improper action against me and our brothers and sisters," the blog post read. "I just can't turn my back and run away, no matter how comfortable it may be for me to do so."

Duke, of Mandeville, did not immediately reply to an e-mail message Wednesday for details on his arrest. A woman answered his Louisiana phone number and said she was his assistant but declined to give her name. She said she knew few details of her boss' arrest, but thought police held him overnight.

"I know he has left Germany. Beyond that I'm kind of at a brick wall," she said.
An e-mail message to Cologne police was not immediately returned.

It wasn't Duke's first run-in with European authorities. Two years ago, he was arrested in the Czech Republic on suspicion of denying the Holocaust and ordered to leave the country. The charge was later dropped.

"It would have raised many more questions if they had waited for him to speak rather than acted first," said Stephen Silva, a professor at American University in Washington, D.C. "That would have implied they were willing to allow him to do more than a stopover."

Although Duke was arrested for a visa violation, several European countries, including Germany, have laws against radical political incitement.

"It's been a part of German law since the end of the Second World War," Silva said. "It is a difficult thing for Americans to grasp, because we have such a tradition of free speech. But when you put it in the context of Europe in general and Germany in particular with the history of the Nazis, the idea there are certain boundaries of speech that one should not cross, it makes sense."

The Associated PressDavid Duke poses in his Klan robes in front of the House of Parliament in London in March 1978, when he was 27.

Duke left the Klan in 1980 to pursue other avenues for his views, including the National Association for the Advancement of White People.

He narrowly won a Louisiana House of Representatives seat in 1989, running as a Republican, then lost in a race for the U.S. Senate in 1990. In 1991, he made a runoff for governor with Edwin Edwards: "Vote for the Crook. It's important," read a popular pro-Edwards bumper sticker. Duke then ran for president in 1992 and initiated later campaigns for the House and Senate.

Duke pleaded guilty in 2002 to filing a false tax return and mail fraud in what federal prosecutors described as a scheme to bilk supporters in a direct mail campaign. Duke admitted sending letters begging money from backers that oversold his financial problems, then blowing a hefty chunk of the booty at casinos in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.

In 2006 he was among a sparsely attended a conference of Holocaust deniers hosted by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Last year, Duke announced he would go on a 25-city tour and launch an exploratory committee to test the waters for a presidential run.

"Hell, I'm David Duke, and I'm not running for president in 2012. At least not yet. That will completely be dependent on you," he said in an online video appeal from his Mandeville home.

It appears that the people have spoken, said Leonard Zeskin, author of "Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement From the Margins to the Mainstream."

Zeskin said that since Duke left prison, he has spent most of his time living in Europe, "communicating via a computer hookup with his constituency in the U.S," and spreading his message across Europe, in Russia, the Ukraine and the Middle East.

"You don't go running for president by trotting over to Germany," Zeskin said. "My tentative conclusion, knowing you can never completely count him out, is that his time has come and gone in the United States. He's still a charismatic speaker. People like to have him give talks, but he was always a terrible organizational operator. There's no sign of a real, actual apparatus other than a few long-time hangers-on."

In the meantime, in his online post, Duke appealed to backers to spread the word for support.

"To fight this case will cost a lot of money, time and effort," he wrote. "Please remember me and this sacred struggle for our people at this beautiful time of year that is such an expression of our exquisite culture and values."

[Twisted Titan]

How did they have the time and money to deploy 100 fricken officers?

How did they have the time and money to deploy 100 fricken officers?

with the most recent Euro Bail-out, it's as if US debt is being used to promote Judeo-fascism in Europe ... including David Duke's right to discuss historial facts.

[mamboni]

Every article on Duke is blatantly biased and pure screeds - it's a disgrace. The only way this will stop is to bring down the international Zionist banksters. They own the banks, the media and public opinion. Until we get enough of the common people to see how they have been hoodwinked and enslaved in debt by these lying bastards, there is no hope of fundamental change. The people en mass must reject the fraudalent paper money of the banksters and embrace silver and gold.

Mambonis on a roll !! yeeeaah baby!

[mamboni]

How did they have the time and money to deploy 100 fricken officers?

Yeah, 100 cops to arrest Duke, and no one tasked with arresting Jon Corzine. Corzine steals multiple $billions and his name vanishes from the MSM and the internet like a fart in the wind. The corruptness of this society is hard to tolerate - it's sickening.
