Mr Bond facing possible 10 years in prison: copyright infringement, weapons charges, possession of NS paraphernalia etc.

submitted by Jacinda from (self.debatealtright)

I have no idea how accurate the statements in the linked video are but it seems Mr Bond may be facing possible 10 years in prison for copyright infringement, weapons charges, possession of NS paraphernalia etc.

I can see why his music might be deemed offensive (which is why the authorities were originally searching for him) but it is no worse than plenty of other material readily found on the Internet; his crime was to make white nationalist music.

Frank Zappa pointed out that to the extent music is a performance it is impossible to separate out the musician from their persona. This argument worked in first amendment friendly USA of the 1980s but probably won't be accepted in 2021 in Austria.

I have often thought we need a right wing equivalent of Amnesty International; a website which would track and publish prison addresses for incarcerated dissidents. Of course deciding who to support and who not to would be difficult but, if true, ten years for music (no matter how offensive) does seem excessive.

Exists for America https://www.gminority.org/, they include people who deserve to be in prison also for whatever reason. The majority of them are just political prisoners though.

Do we know who runs GMI? Since it's such a broad list of prisoners if you're on the donation list and it fell into leftist media hands you could be accused of 'donating to Dylan Roof and Robert Bowers!!'.

Matt Parrott is one of the people involved. If you're worried about being connected to the site don't send anything to them, send it to the prisoners directly, they provide the addresses and stuff and I didn't even know they have options to give money to them directly until now despite being aware of their existence for like a year. They've only ever promoted the prisoners on the site and telegram.

A few familiar names there.

I was not familiar with this case. Here is an article I found to fill everybody in.

There is also a #FreeMrBond site maintained by TEKNEIN but it has no more information beyond that of The Guardian article:

There probably has simply been no more news thus far.

Thanks. It's useful to have the MSM context:

[A]n investigation by Austrian daily Der Standard and Germany’s public broadcaster ARD said that the musician had been calling on members of neo-Nazi online forums and chat groups to carry out terrorist attacks for several years. [Cont...]

If this is true, he's an idiot.

“The words of his songs glorify National Socialism (Nazism) and are antisemitic, racist and xenophobic,” said the interior ministry statement.

If anyone is visiting the sub and unfamiliar with his ouvre, a visit to s/3rdMusic will get you up to speed.

Of course it isn't true. It's the typical thing they do where they take ordinary political speech that people use everyday -- think the use of the term 'we're going to smash antifa' which was used to allege Kessler, Enoch and others had conspired to commit violence at Cville -- and use it to maliciously claim people on the right are inciting violence.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Unfortunately it seems like these cases are a done deal in Europe. If David Irving spent time in prison for his extremely well researched histories, what chance does some wignat rapper have? In the US they'd run up against the First Amendment.

The only juice I think we're going to get out of this case is as an example of the disproportionate power Jews have to control what we say and think.

Guess he was unaware of rule 128475. Never say anything bad about jews.

That's rule 1
