Jeugdstorm Netherlands

Three years ago, in may 2005, led a small group of right-wing extremists for solid tumult in Zoetermeer. The municipality thought with a group to make innocent troubled to have, but was with her nose pressed hard on the facts. She showed a group of neo-Nazi skinheads to have within the limits, the Soetermeer Skinhead Front.
In september 2007 The municipality reported that the problem was solved. There was a kind of stalking project launched, where the police group right extremists permanently on the skin was. The group was less visible in Zoetermeer, but did not disappear. On the contrary.

Soetermeer Skinhead Front

The municipality of Zoetermeer had from 2002/2003 to deal with a growing group of nuisance gabbers. It was here hundreds of youth, die samenschoolden in diverse hanggroepen. Within this group of cronies was also a large group of racist and extreme right-wing ideas. The ideas in this group were far from crystallized, let alone underpinned by an ideology. In that sense, Zoetermeer was a congregation of many, because these groups were active throughout the Netherlands. Even when some of these cronies began to call themselves skinheads and extreme right club founded it seemed there was not something going on that was different from what happened in many other places in Netherlands. This kind of groups came and went, after all, in dozens of places.
What at that moment noticed the Zoetermeerse situation was the radical ideas of one person: Alwin Walther. Walther did not come from the gabber culture, but called himself at a young age skinhead. As a 13-year-old, he makes no secret of his ideas: He dubbed himself as a national socialist, She stood against rasvermenging, Jews wanted to destroy and murder antifascists. Then he just 14 had become he and some acquaintances (which otherwise came from the gabber circuit) the "South Holland Skinheads" on, a short time later renamed the "Soetermeer Skinhead Front" (SSF). The club which formed the core of the SSF (Alwin Walther, Joey Hendriks, Gino Makkus, Ivo Henze, Misha van Dijck, Remy Velds and JR) is involved up to the present day at the organizations that have emerged from SSF.

First action

SSF has not only grown, but also hit politically the wings. The website suggested the SSF to resist "the power of Zionists, capitalists, Communists, etc. ". The group organized a first action. Five people demonstrated in July 2005 in The Hague against a terrorist attack by radical Muslims in London. As the protesters while drinking beer and no identification had two of them were arrested with him. A short time later a number SSF'er traveled to Dortmund to walk with them in a Nazi demonstration. Also, the SSF ran in October 2005 along with a demonstration of the NCE in The Hague.

Misha van Dijck

These activities indicate that the group was serious. But a serious political underpinnings of the business showed still wait a while: The group was obviously still looking for embedding their ideas. To find that embedding sought the SSF'ers for an organization where they could join in on.

Remy-Area

Initially seemed to be Outpost Netherlands. The brother of Voorpost action director Paul Peters, Danny Peters, was initially in the SSF group. The SSF'ers furthermore already had a number of times Outpost Propaganda disseminated and had regional Posters For help in getting a party room for the Nazi party on Liberation Day 2005. However, soon after the publicity surrounding the party grew the two groups apart. Since the overt Nazism SSF will undoubtedly come have, but also the boom in bad publicity.
The SSF then knocked on Stormfront Netherlands. That organization at that time was more dead than alive, but was also unadulterated Nazi and also had extensive experience with former cronies as members. This love did not last long: The SSF'ers were given in no time blazing row with the leader of Stormfront Netherlands. Eventually the search ended at For Burger Dave Blom, a veteran Nazi skinhead, die de groep in contact bracht met de “Racial Volunteer Force”.

Dave Blom

The Racial Volunteer Force is the current name of an organization that has been around since the mid 80s. At the time it was founded as the National Socialists Aktiefront (ANS). It is a militant group of neo-Nazis of widely varying size. The group almost from the beginning, led by the Groningen Eite Homan. Since its inception the club has often changed name. Currently they call themselves ANS, Racial Volunteer Force or "National Socialist Action" (NSA).
The ideology of the ANS has since the beginning been fairly constant: a revolutionary form of national socialism, which seized back the ideas of the German SA. Simultaneously, the praise is, however, also put on Hitler and the SS, which particularly shows a lack of historical awareness. The SA and the SS were not exactly together through a door.
The ANS is in other respects not always consistent. Eite Homan suggested early 90s the burning of mosques was legitimate self-defense. Anno 2008 ANS supporters undertakes ideologically radical Muslims in an assumed common hatred of Jews. During recent demonstrations ANS'ers adorned with images of Osama bin Laden and the Al Aqsa Mosque.

From the mid-90s, the ANS a love-hate relationship with the NCE. Both organizations depend a similar ideology, but differences of opinion over the strategy to run. NCE, led by Constant Kusters, is afraid to look at the confrontation with the authorities and adapts to the legal limits. So try to avoid the party prosecutions. The ANS other hand, would conduct a revolutionary struggle by all means. About this contrast is occasionally held a big altercation. In recent years, however, it is true that the ANS occasionally may determine a theme for an NVU demonstration ("Against US Imperialism and Zionism! Solidarity with Iran!”) and in that the NCE is increasingly forced to locate the limits of the law in order to keep the inboard ANS.

Jeugdstorm Netherlands
Eind 2005 SSF raise themselves: "SSF Stops! We have been told from different angles that investigations into the SSF running and that they subsequently go of these studies try to make us a criminal organization. "
Although this assumption is certainly in the long term could not be ruled, seems to be the end 2005 especially to a form of wishful thinking. In any case, the SSF-group tried from the lifting – in vain - to go underground. They founded in December 2005 "Youth Storm Netherlands" (JSN) op, in the expectation that they could operate anonymously under that flag. That failed almost immediately. It was clear that it was the same group. Should there nevertheless still doubts exist over JSN gave himself that the group came out of anonymity by a number of notable actions. Because despite the increasing encapsulation in the RVF made JSN originally named by a number of major violent and violent hooligan behavior. A few incidents 2006 en 2007:

– That it would repeat the party a year after the party announced on Liberation JSN. That ultimately did not happen on the day itself, but on 6 May in a park in Zoetermeer. After the partygoers had been drinking fell some of them another group of young people, which was present in the park. It was with bottles and bats stamped on the other group and a younger injured. He will 16 persons arrested. Some of them were later convicted. One of the worst violence perpetrators, Jeffrey M., was even sentenced to several months in prison. (#1). There played in this incident with racist sentiments.

– Another JSN-party, Rijswijk, also degenerate into a big booze. For a change, the violence focused here in the first place against its own people. It was fought among themselves. But eventually a group of drunken JSN'ers was some passing cyclists chasing with violent intentions. However, cyclists escaped.

– Even ran a birthday party on misery. After an NVU demonstration in Zoetermeer the JSN group was celebrating a birthday party at their regular meeting in The Hague (the house of Misha van Dijck and Ivo Henze). On the day of the demonstration, the two JSN brothers Michel and Dennis van Erven namely anniversary. During the party went a few JSN'ers to a nearby community center. There was a children's party in progress. The JSN'ers there trying to get beer by threatening those present, onder andere met kapotgeslagen flesjes. Omdat de bedreigingen zeer ernstig waren en het om kinderen ging, wilde de politie de daders arresteren. Upon entering the dwelling, JSN-where the party took place, However, the police stumbled upon a group of drunken Nazis who wanted to fight. Onder dreiging van een inval met geweld kwamen de nazi’s uiteindelijk naar buiten en werden afgevoerd. Some people sat for some time in custody. (#2)

– The most violent incident took place at a school in Naaldwijk. There waited two skinheads to a friend. One of them is JSN'er Jeffrey M.. M. gets into an argument with an immigrant student on the school grounds. The argument got so out of hand that M. ran after the boy into the school, there took a pair of scissors and the boy began to cut into. The victim got quite injured. M. fled away, but was arrested in the vicinity. He was later sentenced to jail and TBS. It seems to be a fairly systematic series of violent and apolitical violence, sometimes racially motivated. It is notable that these acts of violence were supported by JSN: Those arrested in the brawl in Zoetermeer were openly supported and the same was true for the detainees from the birthday party. But there's more happening. After the riot at the birthday some JSN'ers was by Alwin Walther publicly on the Stormfront forum labeled as traitor: "Although Michel van Erven, Luuk Pigmans, Leeroy of Zwet and Michel Vellekoop have committed treason (made very detailed statements, there were even given descriptions of my and other people's tattoos) Most comrades detained there without penalty from come ". (#3)
Toen Jeffrey M. was trapped after the fight in the park, JSN was calling for his release during a demonstration. From the extreme violence of M. JSN did not distance itself at the school in Naaldwijk, but at the same time the JSN M. fall completely. That would be an indication that they did have such an idiot not within their structure.

ANS / NSA
In the same period JSN developed more and more to a close, fixed group. They called themselves consistently National Socialist, but remained ideologically still searching. They came to that quest have increasingly come under the influence of RVF leadership, especially Eite Homan. Following Homan schurkten they also increasingly against the NCE.

Eite Homan NCE demonstration

Via Homan, but also by participating in demonstrations in Germany, made the Jeugdstorm group acquainted with the phenomenon of "Autonomous National Socialists". This is an attempt by the extreme right to take over the ideas and organization of the left "autonomists" from the 80s. When Jeugdstorm this group however did not mean that there is even understood something of ideology. Rather, it meant that all of a sudden Jeugdstormers new black caps, black jackets and Palestine had bought Scarves, that an attempt was made to the "black bloc" to copy the leftist autonomists.
The JSN group was from this time more closed. New growth was sparsely place. It was in those cases usually still have radicalized gabbers.
In any case, the influence of Homan cause the Jeugdstormers their use of violence which targeted deployments. A first example of this was quite surprising. Begin 2007 organized extreme right-wing National Alliance (NA) Rotterdam left in a demonstration against violence. The National Alliance was at that time quite at odds with the "competitive" NCE. That was apparently enough reason for JSN trying to ruin this demonstration. The NA protesters were just gathering as a group Jeugdstormers on the demonstration came down with unfriendly intentions clear. What they were planning was not exactly clear: they let themselves turn away by the police and then ran into the arms of Feyenoord supporters who campaigned against Nazis in their city. Eventually the entire Jeugdstorm Group arrested, whereby the police the necessary reinforcement was found. (#4)

The months that followed revealed that the street violence and drunken nuisance JSN'ers increasingly disappeared from view. Or JSN'ers themselves better have gotten under control is not certain. Possibly also the police in Zoetermeer policies to do with it. In augustus 2007 reports appeared in the media about a "wegpest" policy, where the police have been the Jeugdstorm Group in Zoetermeer serious on the skin. The JSN'ers therefore turned left at some point in the municipality to be.

'Autonomous Nationalists'
JSN went meantime increasingly behave more organized. The uniform clothing, copied from German "Autonomous Nationalists", has already been described. In addition, a self-conscious revolutionary phraseology and a militant appearance came. The fact that this blend is working is shown by the fact that the group in active Jeugdstormers 2007 has grown. Moreover, this growth for the first time not only from gabber circles. Besides new young ravers because there is clear growth in other far-right organizations such as Blood & Honour en de NVU.

The latter has visible consequences. NVU leader Kusters argues for a number of years almost exclusively on organizing demonstrations and the accompanying media attention. It was initially so that he always several dozen Germans asked to demonstrate them to not completely crazy to run for, by the participation of dozens JSN'ers the NCE can now (almost) without German participation. The JSN'ers present themselves during these demonstrations, always as a separate, black, block. However, in the last few demonstrations this block was so much larger than the rest of the demonstration that it is more like went on a demonstration JSN-, with the participation of some members NCE.
That obviously also affects the state of affairs within the NCE. Party leader Kusters finds itself forced in his journal, but also during demonstrations an incomprehensible mix of Islamophobia (which he serves classic NVU'ers) in moslimliefde (for JSN-supporters) bring out. He also now takes JSN slogans about a year ago he tried to drown with a megaphone ("National Socialism Now!”). The influence of the group on the NCE is clearly visible to becoming.

Is this symbiosis between JSN and NCE then a kind middle ground where both parties do some water in the wine? Barely. The JSN continues in the meantime, namely orient political violence. This is also in line with the ANS, where the JSN now practically merged. That violence is not the kind of drunken violence which the group initially it came into the picture. The ANS preaches violence against the political opponents of Nazism. This involves primarily representatives of the state (political, police) and political opponents (such as anti-fascists). Alwin Walther and his friends have long been seeking to confront in this area.
In January 2008 was a group of fifteen JSN'ers set out to demonstrate in The Hague with a left-wing demonstration. What they had right there in mind was not clear again, because the group ran away for a couple of police horses and was subsequently arrested.

What Happens In any case, it became clear that the, Despite all this activity still has not been very good with the ideological depth of the group. German "Autonomous Nationalists" copy for some time custom logos, clothing and battle cries of their political opponents. For example, the popular Spanish battle cry was "Alerta, Alert, Antifascist!"Transformed into" Alerta, Alert, Anticommunista!”. This turn was apparently eluded JSN. When the fifteen in the vicinity of the demonstration they were raised "Alerta, antifascist alert "aan, without apparently having any idea what they called.
