MARYLAND COMMUNITY PLAYS HOST TO CANADIAN NEO-NAZI – AND THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T LIKE IT

Gotta love WUSA 9 in DC. It is not Council of Concerned Citizens that were the ones sponsoring a meeting with Canadian neo-Nazi Paul Fromm at a home in Kennsington, MD. It is the Council of Conservative Citizens! And those that came out to protest against it weren’t just making “claims of racism” when they did. They showed it. We were there for the fun and excitement when a chapter of the CCC decided to hold this meeting on Monday, and the blog Lady Liberty’s Lamp filed this report. We also have to show them love for the photos that are provided here. In other words, if the organizers thought they could just do something like this without someone saying something. They have been effectively dissuaded!

Lady Liberty’s Lamp

September 21, 2009, Kensington, MD- A protest of concerned anti-racist activists and neighbors gathered to protest and bring public awareness to a evening get together of the white collar racist organization Council of Conservative Citizens, or C of CC. At this white power soirée was scheduled to speak; Canadian neo-nazi activist Paul Fromm, who most recently organized a skinhead rally in Calgary that turned into a violent brawl between the neo-nazi gang Aryan Guard and local anti-fascists. In the Northeast, C of CC events are regularly cancelled or shut down by venues that are alerted to the true nature of the event that they are about to host; the C of CC either lies outright or otherwise conceals the true nature of their events. Due to this, tonight’s event was held at the home of owner of Peak Construction and Barnes Review contributor Mr. Peter Papaheraklis.

Members of Mr. Papaheraklis’ middle-class, suburban neighborhood also turned out to voice their opposition to this event. Most notable was the presence of three members of the violent neo-nazi skinhead gang Maryland State Skinheads. Also present was Stormfront contributer Wendy Murphy and a man who, after claiming the holocaust was a hoax and that communism is a Jewish plot, identified himself as a national socialist. Despite a spirited presence by protesters, no physical altercations occurred.

Routinely hosting racist speakers and supporting racist events, the C of CC sparks protests wherever it goes. Last year, the C of CC sponsored a speaking tour by notorious holocaust denier David Irving. The group also maintains associations with David Duke, Jared Taylor– whose American Renaissance group is listed as a terrorist organization by the state of Virginia. What separates the C of CC from other run-of-the-mill hate groups is their close associations with mainstream politics. Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour spoke at a C of CC rally, former Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi spoke at C of CC events five times and numerous other mainstream political figures from other states have attended or spoken at C of CC events.

Chalk this up as yet another C of CC event that didn’t go off without a hitch.

	On the left is Peter Papaheraklis, who owned the home this little White Power soiree was held in. Papaheraklis, who in addition to writing for Willis Carto’s latest anti-Semitic endeavor the Barnes Review, is also the owner of Peak Construction. On the right is Sidney Secular, who heads the local Council of Conservative Citizens chapter. The last time we saw them it was as they were protesting Rev. John Hagee and his Christians United for Israel Conference in July.
	Meet Douglas Hantskie of the National Alliance. He is seen a lot around Maryland. We first learned of him while he was trying to hawk a racist public access program, then we came across him while he was doing some anti-Israel protesting with a fascist in progressive’s clothing named Ken Meyercord. The last time we saw him, he was testifying against Bill White at his trial in December.
	Okay, strike three. Left to right, Clemie Richard Haught and Jason Tankersley of the Maryland State Skinheads (although we suppose Jason with his back turned to the camera is heading up the longhair division now) and a friend of theirs. This is supposed to be a Council of Conservative Citizens thing, and the CCC has zero issues with Jews. The people whose pics we have put up kinda go against that positioning. What’s up, CCC?
