ARYAN GUARD VOWS NEW VIOLENCE
Accused pipe-bomber Kyle McKee (see our Jan. 1-15 issue) was arrested on Dec. 16 in Winnipeg, after a two-hour standoff with police at a North End home. The 24-year-old neo-nazi faces two counts of attempted murder, related to a failed attack against two of his fellow fascists last November 21 in Calgary. McKee is also charged with possession of explosives, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
The incident led to the announcement that the Calgary-based Aryan Guard group had disbanded in the wake of severe internal divisions. There is speculation that the tip which led police to McKee's hide-out may have come from another disgruntled neo-nazi.
But there are also indications that some of this notorious gang may be preparing to renew their criminal activities in southern Alberta.
A recent statement was posted on a fascist website by a "Hans Krieger", claiming to speak for the Aryan Guard. "Krieger" says that the dissolution was made only by "a few rogue ex-council members" who no longer represent the group. "If anything," he says, "we will function far more efficiently without the bureaucratic, half-assed diplomacy of three tired old farts who have no stomach for street life."
Acknowledging "some recent inconveniences," the message claims that "the bulk of the Aryan Guard is still here, and still able and willing to carry on the march of salvation."
>From there, the message descends into vile, racist threats, including a pledge to treat Third World immigrants as "unwelcome, alien invaders."
"Krieger" also promises that the "final days are at hand" for "those who hate the White race, be you communists, anarchists, or various other forms of deluded, hateful scum..."
"Every time you seek to strike a blow against us, the blow shall be dealt back ten thousand fold," continues "Krieger." "You will crumple to your knees and expire, drown in pools of your own filthy blood, crumble away to dust and be completely forgotten by generations to come..."
This bombastic message is a clear attempt to intimidate anti-racist activists, including Communist Party members Jason Devine and Bonnie Collins, who have been prominent in efforts to alert residents to the violent racist organization active in the city. Devine and Collins (and their young children) have been the target of frequent phone and email threats, and their home has been hit with a molotov cocktail, cinder blocks, and nazi graffiti.
Now, "Krieger" has promised to retaliate against opponents of the Aryan Guard, essentially by murdering anti-racists in Calgary. The fact that this threat was issued while Kyle McKee is in police custody is evidence that the danger is far from eliminated.
The Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of Canada has responded with a letter to the Calgary Police Service, the RCMP, and the local, provincial and federal governments, demanding quick action to ban the Aryan Guard in whatever form it resurfaces, and to lay criminal charges against whoever posted the latest threats.
