Czech Republic: Former Ku Klux Klan Leader David Duke to Return to Czech Republic – Visit Organized by Nazi-Linked Activist

Prague Daily Monitor reports “Former Ku-Klux-Klan head to revisit CR in Jan”:
— “Duke’s forthcoming visit is again organised by Filip Vavra who is often linked with the neo-Nazi organisation National Resistance, Tyden.cz writes.”
— “The exact date of his visit is not known as yet, but it is supposed that he will arrive in the latter half of January, Vavra said.”
— ” ‘He has two reasons for his visit to the Czech Republic. First, he will demand that the (Czech) state give him a satisfaction for the detention and accusation for which [he says] the police had no reason. Second, he has been embarrassed about that about a half of the people who saw him in April are in prison,’ Tyden.cz quotes Vavra as saying.”

“David Duke’s My Awakening not punishable – Czech police”

— Heidi Beirich reports
: “His website brims with criticisms of plagiarism — although they come, naturally, in the form of repeated attacks on civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., who is characterized as a ‘world-class plagiarist.’ Plagiarism, Duke’s site adds piously, is ‘theft,’ a rip-off that the site suggests amounts to ‘a serious felony.’ ”
— “Which brings us to Duke’s last book.”
— “When Duke published his self-proclaimed ‘world-wide Bestseller’ Jewish Supremacism: My Awakening to the Jewish Question in 2002, he promised that the book’s ‘amazing documentary evidence’ would challenge ‘your most cherished beliefs’ about who is threatening the existence of ‘European-Americans.’ Duke’s thesis was simple: Jews oppose all ethnic solidarity other than their own and ‘they consistently oppose all organizations seeking to preserve the interests and heritage of Europeans.’ In a nutshell, Jews undermine the white race.”

August 21, 2009: Prague Daily Monitor: “Three plead guilty in Vitkov attack – Three of four men accused in an arson attack earlier this year on a Romani family in Vítkov have pleaded guilty to the accusations. The four are currently being represented by court-appointed attorneys, but an ultra-right group led by Filip Vávra is collecting money to hire a lawyer for them.”

Summary of neo-Nazi organizations in the Czech Republic: “this group, known as Narodni Odpor Praha (National Resistance Prague), organized a demonstration to pay tribute to the memory of the ‘last victim’ of World War II—the Nazi Rudolf Hess…. Filip Vavra still claimed that the NO could become an alternative for disappointed Republican voters”
