Czech authorities ordered a former Ku Klux Klan leader, David Duke, to leave their country at midnight yesterday. The 59-year-old American had been invited to the Czech Republic by a local far-right group to give lectures in the University of Charles social sciences department, promote a book, and foment the agenda. But on Friday he was arrested and questioned by police on suspicion of denying the Holocaust, an offence under Czech law, however he was not charged since he had not actually denied the Holocaust publically on Czech soil at that point. Today responding to internet social group messages, neonazi's who had been due to converge on Prague to hear him speak appeared to change their mind and offer low key solidarity with David Duke.

The agenda which Duke and fellow neo-nazi David Irving are so well-acknowledged for promting not only got them invited to Tehran's antizionism gig but has found fertile ground in post-communist era eastern and central Europe.

As former leader of the KKK, he is widely credited with extending white supremacism to include catholics, slavs and Irish people. However, the Irish people have never seen him on the Late Late Show so they could jam the switchboards to thank him for that co-option of celtic cross symbolism and give the oik Kevin Myers a meaty topic for scintilating opinion-shaping.

The Czech's are currently enjoying an interim government which enjoyed its EU presidency by paying for an artwork which used stereotypical racist images and was credited to non-existent artists, a fact which no EU state ministry of culture seemed to notice..,

Filip Vavra
reports in Czech, the language most people in the Czech republic speak.

anyway -

Filip Vavra is the man who invited Duke, he's long been on the radar - has loads of internet trail but alas no Bebo, nor even more alas, can I offer you his facebook - but I could tell you that unlike his colleague (the lawyer) Petr Kotáb, who both are acknowledged as leading the Czech neoNazi scene, his relatives do have facebook links & guess what wonders of wonders - he has cousins in Croatia.

anyway -

Duke and Vavra have employed the services of local Prague lawyer and ex-parliamentary deputy - Klára Slámová. She's only 32 years old, a classical violinist by background (as a classical musician myself I reserve special loathing for anyone who can study such a high art and then follow nazism) & sweetly enough after all this publicity hopes to be elected for the far-right again.
