BILL WHITE: VIRTUAL RETCH SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER JOINS WITH PORNOGRAPHERS AND NEO-CONS TO ATTACK THE ANTI-GLOBALIST MOVEMENT

"A solid case can be made that the Third Reich National Socialists were the first Green Party - a genocidal pack of ecofreaks."

That strange quote was one of many published by militant neo-liberal activist Michael Reynolds in a recent Playboy article "Virtual Reich" -- the latest hack job from a recently active collective of writers dedicated to the demonization and suppression of popular dissent. Funded and controlled by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the nebulous nucleus of neo-liberal fascism working and a major sponsor of the "anti-hate" movement - a government sponsored movement to suppress dissenting political views - these writers have been publishing wild conspiracy theories, on the internet and off, claiming that the anti-globalization movement, the anarchist black block, and radical environmental movements like Earth First! are all being controlled by a shadowy neo-Nazi-Muslim "axis" who is working behind the scenes to turn today's youth into the "hard-core soldiers of neo-fascism."

And while statements like:

"The group Earth First was cranked up 20 years ago by a clutch of white eco-warriors whose backpacks carried Š anti-immigrant racism and a genocide-friendly attitude."

may not be carrying weight with the thinking portion of America's audience, they reveal a sinister agenda and a disturbing convergence of left and right wing ruling class tendencies in defense to increasing powerful attacks on global capitalism from both the left and the right. Sponsored by radical Zionists, "neo-conservative" publications, and mainstream liberal groups, this campaign of trickery directed against the American public is designed to stifle and suppress free speech while eroding first amendment rights, and no one of any political stripe is being exempted.

But even more frightening is the fact that this group of radical pro-globalists has infiltrated the anti-globalist movement they write about, with one neo-liberal activist, Kevin Coogan, being openly praised and supported by the organs of "official" anarchism and the self-appointed anti-globalist leaders. Understanding what is going on is quite a trip - one that starts with the Southern Poverty Law Center and ends in the depth of the new left-right convergence of neo-liberal fascism.
