Group Favorite David Irving gets ass kicked by Antifa...AGAIN

Oh lawdy lawdy lord....

Nazifag Irving had a lecture scheduled in Portland November 3rd, 2012:

Focal Point Publications :: Event Tickets :: Saturday, November 3, 2012, 2012, 3:00pm PORTLAND, OR - "HITLER AND I" - An evening with David Irving

Saturday, November 3, 2012, 2012, 3:00pm PORTLAND, OR - "HITLER AND I" - An evening with David Irving

“Hitler and I”
Saturday, November 3, 2012, 3:00pm PORTLAND, OR

 

“Only a next-generation English historian, familiar with all the archives and fluent in German, will ever write a fair biography of me.”
- Adolf Hitler privately to his doctor on August 26, 1944

AN EVENING with David Irving, British historian and raconteur, as he talks about Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and the men and women he persuaded to talk to him: the ministers, generals, doctors, and private secretaries closest to Hitler, and what they and their diaries revealed exclusively to him about the real Adolf Hitler.
In 1963, already a bestselling author translated into many of the world's languages, David Irving set out to write the only first-hand biography of Hitler to be based on primary sources - the archive documents and the men and women who had been closest to the Führer and were still alive, most of them badly bruised men and women who still hesitated to talk.


SCROLL DOWN TO REGISTER!

It was not hard for him to win their confidence: they revered him as "the Englishman who wrote The Destruction of Dresden".
He soon found from them that there were two Adolf Hitlers: the one created by Hollywood and the universally hostile media, and the real man, for whom these intelligent and educated folks had worked and whom they still privately admired. Irving took what proved a fateful decision: he decided to write about this man, the real Hitler, and the war as seen through his eyes. He eventually found that Hitler had virtually nominated him for the job already, in a prophetic conversation with his Doctor, Erwin Giesing a few days after the Bomb Plot in 1944.
Irving's magnum opus, Hitler's War, was the result, published in 1975 and re-published by the world's leading publishers - but only for a while. Powerful people were outraged by the dent that Irving had T-boned into their own polished and profitable narrative. His wilderness years began - and three decades of a vicious newspaper smear campaign and orchestrated attempts to deprive him of his living.
Taking that turning toward Real History cost Irving fame and fortune. His resulting International Campaign for Real History took him around the world twice, until 1992, when government after government began to ban him, including the major countries of Europe and even the British Commonwealth. He continued rattling the cage. He became an outlaw. Undeterred, and outliving all his critics, he continues that campaign around the United States now with this circuit of honour, addressing and delighting audiences both large and small with the stories from history which he has found to be true.

Antifa called for action:

URGENT, PORTLAND TODAY: Confront Holocaust-Denier David Irving!

Rose City Antifascists have uncovered the location of Holocaust-denier and neo-fascist David Irving's speaking event today in Portland, Oregon. Irving is speaking at La Quinta Inn, Portland NW located at 4319 NW Yeon. The phone number of this venue is 503-497-9044. Irving's personal cellphone number is 305-923-6779. Irving is slated to begin his Portland lecture on the topic of "Hitler & I" today, Saturday, November 3, at 3PM. 


 We encourage anti-racists to call the venue immediately to express their disgust that this establishment is providing a venue for a notorious antisemite, fascist and fraudulent historian. It may be wise to take appropriate security precautions when calling, such as blocking your phone number (*67).

Rose City Antifascists and allies are currently on the ground opposing this gathering of white supremacists and antisemites. We strongly welcome additional community support, and urge any available anti-racists to hurry to the venue to join with this opposition.


For more information on David Irving and why he should be opposed, see Rose City Antifa's earlier call to confront the event:
 http://rosecityantifa.org/1/post/2012/10/october-15th-2012.html

Also note that this article provides dates for the remaining dates of Irving's speaking tour.


If you have any information on white supremacist activity--related to the Irving event or otherwise--please contact Rose City Antifascists at fight_them_back [at] riseup [dot] net or 971-533-7832 (voicemail).


SHUT DOWN THE NAZIS!

In related news at the PDX IMC website, Irving also confronted in the Oregon burg Eugene:


Eugene Anti-Fascists resist David Irving’s event.

On Friday, November 2nd, Eugene anti-fascists made their presence known in response to David Irving's event "Hitler and I", hosted by local fascist organizer Jimmy Marr.




On Friday, November 2nd, Eugene anti-fascists made their presence known in response to David Irving's event "Hitler and I", hosted by local fascist organizer Jimmy Marr. David Irving is recognized worldwide as a holocaust denier and fascist sympathizer, whose events are frequently held in private with strictly screened attendees. Despite our repeated attempts, we were unable to find their location. There is an equal possibility that Irving cancelled the meeting, as he is known to do when resistance is expected.

Events like this recruit people to white supremacist ideology and hate groups, and often lead to an upswing in violence against people of color, LGBTQ people, Jewish people, women, people with disabilities, the homeless, etc. Events like this also make local hate groups feel energized and empowered. It is important to confront these events to make a statement that we don't want this in Eugene.

Eugene has continually grappled with it's own racially motivated conflicts. In light of this, we believe that communities should unite in opposition when fascist organizers attempt to target sections of the population with violence and hate speech. Some critics of anti-fascists defend fascist organizing as a free speech issue. The First Amendment and related free speech laws protect citizens from state intervention, not from criticism by the public.

In response to this threat, Eugene anti-fascists held a public rally and dropped several banners to inform the public. We extend our solidarity to Portland anti-fascists and others who have opposed David Irving in their cities.

I learned a lot by accident regarding Jews and the Holohoax. I was part an anti-war, pro-Palestine discussion group of University of Oregon. The Jews became so obnoxious in trying to get us banned from campus that it turned into a slugfest and, in anger, I began to cast aspersions on the validity of their sacred cow.

I immediately noticed a shift in their strategy from media pillory to media blackout. It was only then that I began to realize in earnest that they felt more vulnerable on the Holohoax then they did on Palestine.

Once I took the Holohoax tack, they worked quietly to amend the university's bylaws through resolution of faculty senate to deprive me of venue, which also, in effect, got rid of David Irving at U.O.

He'll be here in town on Nov 2. I tried to get him in at the University, but they demanded an exorbitant security fee (in the thousands of dollars). I forget the exact amount, but I have it in my records.

I hosted him in 2008 for a total of $40, and found that he is much better in front of a hostile audience than when preaching to the choir.
 Thanks Jimmy for your participation.

That's entertainment!


To date the exact organizer(s) of the Portland non-event is unknown, but's not a stretch to assume Evdokas' buddy Holohoax Titrud was involved.

Portland, Oregon Anti-Racists Shut Down Pro-Hitler Event:A Few Notes on David Irving’s November 3rd Portland Tour Stop

11/18/2012

Antifascist presence at La Quinta Inn on NW Yeon st. in Portland, OR prevented David Irving's talk on "Hitler and I" from moving forward as planned.

 On Saturday, November 3rd, around thirty antifascists and allies confronted the notorious Holocaust-denier, David Irving, and his white supremacist fans as they gathered for an event in Portland, Oregon as part of Irving’s latest US speaking tour. The venue for Irving’s presentation on the topic of “Hitler & I” was supposed to have been a closely-guarded secret, but antifascists located the event at the La Quinta Inn on NW Yeon Ave, where Irving was seen unloading stacks of books from his minivan around 2PM.

With a prompt anti-racist response, Irving’s pro-Hitler event was successfully shut down at the La Quinta, where antifascists blocked the doors with banners and signs. Many potential attendees simply drove off without even getting out of their cars upon entering the car-park and noticing the antifascist presence. Continual phone calls to the venue--whose location and phone number was released online as soon as confirmed--placed additional pressure on the venue to kick Irving out. Rose City Antifascists would like to thank La Quinta for doing the right thing and showing the fascists the door, and we want to especially thank all our allies that made this small but significant victory possible.

David Irving, staying true to form as a liar about history, later wrote on his blog that antifascists had gone to the wrong location, and not shut down anything. The antifascists, according to Irving, simply went to a decoy venue designed to throw anti-racist opposition off the trail, whereas the event actually went forward at “the Embassy Suites hotel, where the masked Leftist crusaders failed even to find the meeting room.” This is deceitful not only because Irving himself was spotted at La Quinta and the fascist attendees showed up at La Quinta, but also because Irving himself emailed those he suspected of being infiltrators prior to the event, stating that Embassy Suites was the venue. Rose City Antifa had in fact scouted both locations.

Another account of the day, written on the white supremacist Stormfront.org website by a user named “Tribalthinking” gives a different account than Irving’s about what happened next:

There were a ton of masked commies gathered around the entrance to the hotel where the meeting was taking place. The hotel caved to their pressure […] We were still able to hear Irving speak, however. A local attendee allowed us to use his house to continue the meeting.


Anti-fascists, in other words, made it impossible for Irving to give his presentation at a venue accessible to the public. Reduced numbers of fascists retreated to a private home in order to hear Irving. The shut-down of Irving’s major event was a victory for the antifascists, but Irving, in order to save face, is forced to spin lies about how his tour is going.

A Few of the November 3rd “Hitler & I” Attendees

Rose City Antifascists have noted in the past that Irving’s events provide an opportunity for fascists, white supremacists and antisemites to network with each other and organize. Irving’s events may also have an energizing effect on such forces. With this in mind, we would like to note a few of the individuals who gathered to see Irving, and the forces they represent.

The Stormfront member “Tribalthinking” who posted the comment quoted above is better known as Tyler Cole. Tyler and his wife Laura Cole (née Bailey) moved to Portland in late June of this year from Southern California. Tyler Cole was active in Southern California as a member of the white supremacist “Freedom 14” group, and also Golden State Party, a short-lived attempt at white nationalist electoral politics. The Golden State Party dissolved soon after a newspaper story disclosed that Cole, then its chairman, had felony convictions for assault as well as possession of an illegal machete. From the ashes of the Golden State Party, white nationalists went on to build the national American Third Position party. Tyler Cole is now attempting to build this white power political party in the Pacific Northwest, and hopes to get A3P registered as a political party in Oregon. On October 1, Cole and other racist associates publicly distributed A3P propaganda in downtown Longview, Washington. Cole’s young racist associates also tagged along to the Irving event with him.

Scott Rautmann, who attended David Irving’s 2009 event in Portland as well, was seen leaving the La Quinta venue dejectedly this time around. Rautmann, a carpenter and construction worker based in Northeast Portland, attended Irving’s 2009 talk with his then-wife Amie Beckwith, but the couple have since divorced. Scott Rautmann moves in racist circles that often portray themselves as simply “heathen”, but upon closer examination show themselves as straightforwardly bigoted and fascist. Rautmann, for example, uses a picture of Romanian fascist leader Corneliu Codreanu to represent himself on one online forum, and also keeps in contact with the leaders of the racist European Americans United organization as well as antisemitic propagandist (and A3P leader) Kevin MacDonald via Facebook. Rautmann has previously been active in post-industrial music scenes in Portland, predictably collaborating with the creepy circles on the periphery of Markus Wolff’s Waldteufel project.



Another of David Irving’s attendees this year was Dave Westerlund of Longview, Washington. Westerlund also attended the 2009 David Irving event at the Embassy Suites - Airport hotel in Portland. Portland residents may also know Westerlund as a regular participant at the Portland Peaceful Response Coalition’s (PPRC) anti-war protest at Pioneer Courthouse Square each Friday, where Westerlund often displays his antisemitic sign alleging Israeli control of the US government. Westerlund also distributes leaflets from the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust at these PPRC events. Similarly to segments of the Portland “progressive” community continuing to support dedicated antisemitic activist Tim Calvert, it appears as though the PPRC welcomes or at least is comfortable with Westerlund’s continued anti-Jewish agitation at their events and within their ranks.

Finally, antifascists spotted one neo-Nazi scurrying away from the Irving event sporting a Hammerskin Nation patch. The neo-Nazi Hammerskin grouping may be increasingly confident in setting foot in Portland following the dismantling of Volksfront International as an aboveground organization earlier this year. Rose City Antifascists wish to monitor this situation, and urge anyone with information on local Hammerskin activity to contact us.

Eugene--Portland--Seattle--Minneapolis: Antifascists on the Offensive

Even though David Irving’s speaking events provide an opportunity for fascists, militant antisemites and white supremacists to network amongst each other and get organized, the tour also allows militant antifascists to build links with each other and go on the offensive against fascist and white power organizing. We are heartened not only by the dedication of the Portland anti-racist community that pulled together to oppose Irving, but also by the mobilizations in other cities against Irving’s events. In Eugene, Oregon, antifascists were unable to intercept the Irving gathering but maintained an antifascist visual presence with banners. In Seattle, the day after Irving’s Portland stop, Irving’s event was located and disrupted. While writing this summary of Irving’s event in Portland, word has also just arrived of a massive disruption of Irving’s event in Minneapolis, MN on November 16. We see such active resistance to Irving’s events as signs of a growing, militant antifascist movement, and will do our part to help this movement along.

Co-op Activist Targeted for Anti-Racist Advocacy

Scroll down to read Red and Black Cafe joins boycott
with Facebook notes

From:

Co-op Activist Targeted for Anti-Racist Advocacy

10/07/2012


 On the early morning of October 6th, a rock was thrown through the home window of a worker at the Red & Black Café who is active in co-op circles. Writing on the rock read: “RCA [Rose City Antifascists] fuck off”. While the person targeted is not a member of Rose City Antifascists, the attack on the home was clearly designed to send a message of intimidation to broader anti-racist circles. Anti-racists in Portland will not step back any of their efforts as a result of the home vandalism.

The rock-throwing took place the day after the Red & Black Café collective decided to endorse the Rose City Antifa call for Citybikes to be boycotted. Rose City Antifa issued that call for a boycott due to years of antisemitic activism and promotion of militant racists by Citybikes President Tim Calvert. The Red & Black Café is a worker-owned cooperative business in Portland also affiliated with the local branch of the Industrial Workers of the World.

The co-op activist whose home was targeted had previously worked independently of RCA within the co-op movement, trying to raise the issue of Tim Calvert’s antisemitic activism within the Western Worker Cooperative Conference (WWCC) at a time when Calvert was part of the WWCC Board. Tim Calvert’s ally Rod McLaughlin (AKA “Jay Knott”), another hardcore antisemitic propagandist who maintains the Pacifica Forum website, wrote about this co-op activism in a March 2012 article titled “Zionist Bullying in the West Coast Co-op Movement”. The alleged “Zionist bullying” was speaking out against the  Judeophobic agitation that Calvert engages in alongside racist, anti-choice and anti-queer organizers. McLaughlin’s article quotes emails that were sent as part of WWCC discussions, suggesting that someone in the co-op movement leaked or forwarded these communications to Calvert’s bigoted friends. The Pacifica Forum, whose website McLoughlin operates, is notorious for hosting speakers such as Jimmy Marr of the National Socialist Movement. We are alarmed that discussion from the co-op movement was passed on to McLoughlin and possibly other political associates of Calvert.


 Rose City Antifascists are looking into all angles surrounding the targeting of the home. We are committed to defending those singled out for being anti-racists, whether or not they are active within our organization.

We are currently accepting donations for the person whose home was targeted, for window replacement and related expenses, which we will pass on directly. Please, if sending funds, also send a brief note to our main email letting us know that funds are earmarked for solidarity with the targeted co-op worker.

Anyone who may have information about this attack is invited to contact Rose City Antifascists. Our voicemail number is 971-533-7832 and our email is fight_them_back [at] riseup [dot] net.
 Mirrored at Portland Indymedia, where one reader implies the group was making related plans at the True Brew Coffee House:

.....     08.Oct.2012 06:36
........
I guess this IS what they were talking about at the True Brew Saturday, I stand corrected.

The boycott aside which I support, take out the specifics and this sounds like a response to a percieved oppression. Just an observation.


 This comment is dubious for a couple of reasons.  The author, "....." is probably the same faggot making excuses for Tim Calvert in this thread, compare posts:

 How about you invite them to have a healthy dialogue about whether or not they're biggots before you run over there like a John Ford film looking to beat up a bunch of conspiracy geeks? Seriously.

 Antisemitism in conspiracy theory culture still needs to be addressed and if only for the cause of not divering attention from Israeli war crimes while skating on antisemtism Im not a hundred percent on this, but a set of guidelines or creating a section for articles that aren't first hand accounts or have any verifiable evidence wouldn't be a bad idea. Because they like antifa act like me openly and indulgently act like spoiled children when we (they?) don't get our way and don't post one article but abuse your eebsite and post A GAZILLION articles. Its pretty fucking trite honestly.

 and I supported this until I realized what was going on. You people don't give a shit about antisemitism you just want slmeone to go to war with. And unless you've had this stereotype fling at you with a biggots fist behind it, then you can take your "I was a teenage Anarchist" opinion and stuff it. Since were making gross generalizations based off shit we read on the portland indymedia page. Dick.

 The people outlined here have been active conspiracy theorists for years. All their bullshit about Israel and 9/11 have produced half a shred of barely vrrifiable racism, yet alone kncitation to violence. Those individuals also were right wingers. Most of the conspiracy theorists here seem to be liberals, attacking people like Mitt Romney. Brevick was neo fascist who saw israel as a strategic ally in hurting Muslims, Mcveigh a right wing libertarian. There are these people here but few and far between. On top of which in some of the links you're posting you just seem to be directing us back to comments you had already made. You're pushing this boycott on us like they're on my sisters doorstep with pitchforks and guns. And you've already informed and made the call out, fine, we get it. As a Jew, your insistence on this and inability to distinguish between a threat and someone with a hobby is just as scary with a connotation of potential violence against a bunch of harmless weirdos.

Inform educate and leave it alone. Do your job or have the ethical standard to move on. Caause my Jewish ass ain't buying it. Fascists? Joe Sombody is in league with Hitler? Get fucking real.

Yeah the Rothchilds are also usually equated with the N.W.O where as the Koch brothers rarely if ever are. Again, if there's a worthwhile criticism of bankers I'll be more than happy to oblige no matter what the name is. And don't attack how I choose to express my ethnicity kid.

I also have to say that I've sat in the same room as that man and was damn proud to do it. So don't throw that in my face.

 I always appreciate it when people adopt my vernaculars. I think me and vegan bike mama got along for three minutes before she had to bring up half relevant points to undercut me. But I have to flow up, Free Geeks been mentioned, PDXIM has been mentioned, what is going on here? I know you're dealing with genuine security culture problems and I sincerely agree that RCA whether in name or tactic alone provides vital functions for the community. But I'm reading, and it could just be some amqteur nitwit looking for an excuse to use the camera on his phone but w.t.f. is going on? Is there any validity to this claim and if there isn't why is it being made? Why are our passions being exhausted on 9/11 Truthers? Given I supported the boycott until it was forced down our throats.
 http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2012/10/418709.shtml?discuss#405967
 All right. Because some nitwit is on one of the other threads making this whole thing appear to be some nazi conspiracy. Fucking valium people seriously.

You know when you make these calls it wouldn't hurt to put a disclaimer. I mean, you got fucking Matt Helm up above ready to do some great undercover work, and I'm all for hobbies. But something tells me big murderous conspiracies aren't being hatched at the Brew and View by the Truthers on a Saturday.

READERS NOTE SUSPICIOUSLY SPECIFIC DENIAL ABOVE
" But something tells me big murderous conspiracies aren't being hatched at the Brew and View by the Truthers on a Saturday."

 Unless someone is trolling, all these comments are by the same author, " ......".     The are clearly an apologistfag for Calvert and the group and do not support the boycott.  They aren't even smart enough to say, "After this attack, NOW I support the boycott."  They were hoping everyone would forget their other comments.

It is lol worthy how this person thinks  the person(s) throwing rocks think they were "oppressed":
The boycott aside which I support, take out the specifics and this sounds like a response to a percieved oppression. Just an observation.
Other readers are less impressed:

"Percieved oppression???"
 How is a rock laden with a clear threat thrown through a window "perceived?"

It seems clearly identifiable to me

But what does "......"  know, that no one else does, that they imply the 9/11 Truth Alliance is behind these attacks?

I guess this IS what they were talking about at the True Brew Saturday, I stand corrected.
So far no evidence has been released directly implicating Portland 9/11 Truth Alliance Members.

They are obvious suspects, and chances are the person or people who attacked the worker's house are sympathizers of Calvert, the 9/11 Truth Alliance , or both.  But if it turns out the group was part of this attack and intimidation tactic, it won't be a surprise.    People delusional enough to publish Myspace blogs about Canadian actors being complicit in the September 11th attacks, could be capable of anything....

Of course Calvert's fwriends don't think so:

 Stop smearing 9/11 Truthers ludicrous over-reaches
 Stop smearing 9/11 Truthers with ridiculous anti-semitism charges. It's ludicrous to suggest anyone who suggested some Jewish individuls somewhere may be guilty of making some big mistakes is anti-semitic. Is anyone who dares suggest some Jewish individual somewhere wasn't perfect now to be cast out of society? 
 Sorry, dipwad, the antisemitism of group members, particularly of Holohoax Titrud, has been documented:


Tim Titrud Holocaust Denier
"Very good videos showing the Holocaust is a lie."






Gee, better hope the group doesn't have anything to do with this attack on Red and Black.

Or this burglary on the SAME STREET, the next day.




Cuz that would be DUMB.




Red and Black Cafe Joins Boycott

http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2012/10/419200.shtml

Say No to Racism; Boycott Citybikes

The Red & Black Cafe joins the boycott of Citybikes, another Portland worker co-operative, due to their unwillingness to hold Citybikes president and co-owner Tim Calvert accountable for several years of racist and other bigotted organizing.
It is with a great sense of sadness and dissappointment that the workers at the Red & Black Cafe announce that we have joined the call to boycott Citybikes, a worker co-operative bike shop just a few blocks from us in Portland. We are calling for the boycott because we oppose Citybikes worker Tim Calvert's racist organizing and now Citybikes for their inability to effectively oppose it. We have tried dialogue and educational efforts to no avail. Despite these setbacks we remain steadfast in our commitment to fighting antisemitism and other forms of bigotry wherever they appear. As part of this commitment we want to draw attention to a major blind spot when it comes to dealing with organized bigotry in our midst.

Three years ago Citybikes founder and worker owner Tim Calvert was accused of antisemitic organizing by Rose City Antifascists. Cafe workers took the time to review the evidence and to talk to folks from Citybikes & Laughing Horse. By this point, we learned, Tim had been forced to leave the Laughing Horse collective, largely for organizing bigoted speakers in the bookstore. It was concluded that Tim had been organizing and attending racist speaking engagements with the Portland 9-11 truth Alliance for several years at that point.[1] These events, and the organizations and ideology behind them, are completely at odds with an anti-oppression centered coop movement that is truly for all people.


We want to emphasize: these organizations and racist ideologies are far from harmless. In a small example of the danger involved a worker at the Red & Black's window was smashed with a rock. This rock had a warning written on it, "fuck off RCA" (Rose City Antifa). This occurred the morning after we decided to endorse the Citybikes boycott. [2]


When we first learned about this in 2009 it was hoped that Citybikes, with community support, would convince Tim to stop hosting racist speakers at Portland 9/11 Truth Alliance events. In order to share our perspective, and offer support to Citybikes, a few workers from the Red & Black and other concerned folks formed an adhoc committee. A mediated discussion was arranged.


The discussion was difficult, and nothing really came from it. At the end of the meeting we agreed to follow up talks; these never occurred. Later attempts to address this issue, first at the Western Worker Co-op Conference, and then at the US Federation of Worker Co-ops Conference, met mostly with silence or hostility by fellow attendees. Although we succeeded in alerting some folks in the worker co-op movement about the situation, in the end nothing was done with the information or the request that Tim step down from the Board of Director of the WWCC.


In the intervening years we grew increasingly concerned as a trickle of Citybikes workers (we heard) quit when it became clear there would be not be a meaningful resolution. [3] This process seems to have accelerated in recent weeks as workers have left in the wake of Portland 9-11 truth Alliance's latest event.


This latest event was a Portland 9/11 Truth picnic featuring Fritz Springmeier, a white separatist and convicted bomber with ties to the Army of God. The Army of God is a militant anti-choice group who have killed abortion providers and bombed clinics as well as queer bars. [4,5,6,7] This fits a pattern of Calvert's group; bringing an array of racist speakers and almost no one else.


Asking people to boycott a fellow worker co-op is not something we take lightly. We recognize and respect Citybikes' role as a pioneering business in Portland on several fronts: bike advocacy, co-operation among co-ops and workplace diversity. Tim shares responsibility for much of this work. These laudable achievements, however, don't let Tim or Citybikes off the hook. On the contrary; maintaining and building on these achievements requires that we unequivocally reject racism and other forms of oppression. Please take the time to read and reflect on this information. Let us know if you have any questions or you'd like to talk. Finally, please help us send a message that racism is unacceptable and stop shopping at Citybikes.


Signed,


The Red & Black Collective

Awesomely Epic.

"I was not the one to suggest Fritz Springmeir attend the potluck in the park, but I did not say no he can’t come; did I witness him doing anything inappropriate? No, he played bocce ball." - Tim Calvert, in real life, 2012

  • Cane Prevost Already boycotting red and black bacause of their shameful treatment of Portland police.


  • Pat Bognar I am sad to see the Red and Black throwing in w/ this anonymous group-- antifa.
But Bognar has no problem "throwing in" with closet Nazis[NOTE; scanning Bognar's fb profile there's no sign she's a closet Nazi or a conspiracy freak.  Just another gullible leftist Calvert conned with his Nazi charm] :


Pat Bognar I saw the Anelauskas video. It was boring but there was absolutely nothing in it which was anti-semitic.

Pat Bognar Tim has offered to meet with his detractors but they refuse to meet. This is a rather childish way of dealing with others- don't you think? I have know Tim for many years and worked with him professionally. He has NEVER said the slightest thing

Bognar must buy lots of bridges in swampland. Of course a closet Nazi isn't going to "say anything" to identify himself.  That's why Calvert is a CLOSET Nazi, dumbass. Note the group cultspeak "detractors".

Pat Bognar about the holocaust. He is supportive of Rachel Corrie and the Palestinians and so am I. Let's show our faces when we decide to go after people and not hide like cowards. It is a little like the 'cool' kids going after nerdy kids. The 'cool' kids are popular and they take great joy in attacking others that don't have their
Hmmm...Bognar implies Antifa is popular.  Got one thing right.  Has nothing to do with the Holocaust though.  

The real lulz begin when Calvert's anarchist ex alma mater, Laughing Horse Books, steps in the ring:


  • Laughing Horse Book and Film Collective statements, that went against our (at the time NEW) safer space policy were made and heard as far back as winter 2005, there were excuses then- thought police this and i'm not deny'n i'm questioning that, LATER for that we said, and he tried to show us some websites he looked. At that time I just thought he was fucking around looking at gross websites I would never look at, but in my home I saw 1 man one jar, so it's sick but just a website, u get grossed out u move, JUST NOT IN THE BOOKSTORE WE SAID. Do not discuss or talk to me about what you looked at!!!!!! He agreed, and there was real SHOCK going on there, I told him to SHUT IT i'd been to AUSWITZ, I'VE SEEN ROOMS FILLED with hair glasses, empty cans of cyclone B, and HE said well the sites got an answer for that too!!!!! FUCK, so back in 2005 I met with Stew Albert who was very sick at the time and asked him for help in this matter I took very seriously, he did and again Tim said he would NOT talk about it in the book store, but he grumbled about it, we wants to say what ev and be entitled....... WHAT EV.

Laughing Horse Book and Film Collective all hard hard HARD STUFF for someone I had known for years, and of course a year later the 9/11 truth group brought right wing nut pro lifer Mary Starrat to portland to speak at laughing horse. We were told who she was we mobilized we stopped it from happening, they moved it. LOOK, the 9/11 truth movement got SCARY they split they tried to bring Anelauskas to laughing horse and HE HIMSELF WAS like radical bookstore, you booked me WHERE? We said NO they moved it, 9/11 GLEN OWEN called someone the C word me the N word, he was asked to leave, Tim was forced to resign, the group asked to leave, or they left actually. Glen took over our website and wrote awful things, SCARY!
Laughing Horse Book and Film Collective found a statement from him from oct 15 on bike portland.org
That would be the comment where Calvert claims to be resigning from the Portland 9/11 Truth Alliance.   It's mirrored at Indymedia.

 "Therefore I am publically announcing my resignation and distancing myself from the 9-11 truth group and will no longer organize any events associated with them. I do this because I want to protect Citybikes from defamation and because the 9-11 group has been effectively suppressed in Portland."

Problem is: we just received correspondence the group has a history of members pretending to leave when the really haven't.  More to come.

So far Red and Black Facebook note has 21 likes and 27 shares. All the conspiracy cult can muster is one and a half supporters.


LOL.  Probably playing it safe after seeing what happened to Craig Lazo's   Facebook account.  That's why they had to rope in Bognar...The cult is all on Facebook, but they don't dare show their faces, lol.

But if you want to see them go to the True Brew, er, Bowery Commons:

Marek Swift god, so Tim Calvert is THIS moron in the photo! bahaha! i see him with his fellow asshats having their cloak and dagger 9-11 meetings every single saturday early afternoon at true brew coffee house in SE portland (on SE Milwaukie, now called the "bowery commons") - what a tool. i totally support your boycott, thanks for sharing the info, it's good & important to know. ..... 
Calvert's old business buddy Noehren shows up to imply Calvert's "oppressed":


Good comment by Jlang:


  • Jlang Lang Roger Noehren and Pat Bognar: A couple of things. First of all it's not 'guilt by association.' Tim Calvert, whatever he thinks (or says) his motivations are, is a hard working, engaged promoter of racism. The point is to get him to stop and I think he's been left alone too long. Please actually read the documentation and recognize that it's unfortunately possible that someone you have a good relationship with is also doing something very harmful when you're not around. This also applies to the frequent observation 'Tim has never done or said anything antisemitic(etc) in my presence' from which the conclusion does not follow: 'therefore Tim never does or says anything antisemitic.'

    Roger you brought up the idea of not shooting the messenger. Why not apply that to Antifa who, after all, are just doing research and then presenting it? While you're at it please stop bringing up the red herring of Antifa's anonymity. Due to consistent and effective action against violent racists (around the world, for decades) members of Antifa would be in real danger if they revealed who they were. They would probably need a lot better reason than having a debate with antisemites.

    Finally the fact that people sometimes play bocce ball, have a compost bin etc. proves nothing. It seems to me that all this boils down to here is that someone who does nice/innocuous things would never do mean/racist things. Unfortunately this isn't true. For example one time when Fritz Springmeier wasn't playing bocce ball he bombed a porn store as a diversion so that his white separatist, anti-choice militia could rob a bank.
