  • August 18, 2017 - New York City, New York, United States of America - An anti-Trump T-shirt worn to bring light to his perceived softness on the radical-rightists at Charlotteville. Held at Brooklyn’s McGolrick Park, a group of citizens held a demonstration against Nazis, the Alt-Right, and “Proud Boys” (the latter is a far-right group grounded by former Vice commentator Gavin McInnes that has been accused of white supremacy and creating violent disturbances).  The Proud Boys also has a combat-ready unit endorsed by McInnes, who is part of the programming on Anthony Cumia’s far- to radical-right streaming service that is known to dispute claims of confirmed neo-nazis being “neo-nazis”.  The groups “Brooklyn for Bernie Sanders” and Black Lives Matter of Greater NY organized this demonstration in response to far- and radical-right symbols found in the area- a Swastika, in particular..Speakers (Credit Image: © Sachelle Babbar via ZUMA Wire)

  • October 14, 2017 - Munich, Bavaria, Germany - Despite lengthy battles, the so-called Stolpersteine (“Stumbling Blocks”) containing the names & information of victims of National Socialism were installed at four different sites in Munich.  The City of Munich forbid the installation of the memorial stones on public ground in 2015, which led the Stolpersteine Initiative (‘Stumbling Block Initiative”) to seek private properties to install them.  To date, 61,000 Stolpersteine in 2,000 cities in 21 countries have been dedicated, with much criticism lobbed against Munich’s rejection due to its historical connection to the rise of National Socialism...The Stolperstein Project was created by Cologne-based artist Gunter Demnig in 1994 in order to prevent forgetting the 11,000,000 murders (Shoah) by the Nazis, which includes Jews, Sinthi & Roma, and LGBT victims..Dedication 1: Augustenstrasse 98, Stones for Wilhelm Olschewski, Willy Olschewski, Otto Binder.

  • April 28, 2018 - Munich, Bavaria, Germany - Michael Stürzenberger (Sturzenberger). Inviting Pegida founder Lutz Bachmann Pegida Dresden returned to Munich for a repeat of last month’s march through one of the most-traveled portions of the city.  Last month, just a few hours after Bachmann’s appearance in Munich, he was arrested at London-Stansted airport and subsequently deported back to Germany due to attempting to make an appearance at a right-extremist event at Hyde Park.  While in detention, he live-streamed videos and photos of the facility, leading to criminal charges.  There were less than 100 demonstrators for Pegida and several hundred against, most notably, youths..The city of Munich has two Pegida factions: the „Munich” faction which has been called the “the weaponized arm of Pegida” due to the group allegedly trying to amass firearms through the operation of a shooting club.  The group’s leader, Heinz Meyer, has been under terrorism monitoring since 2012 and has numerous neo-nazis and right-wing terrorists under its followers.  “Pegida Dresden” is effectively Pegida Nuremburg, who is attempting to take the greater role in Munich.  Sturzenberger is under Verfassungsschutz monitoring for islamophobia and incitement.  In 2015, he was pushed out of Pegida by Meyer, after which he began working with numerous far-right groups across Germany, eventually winning Bachmann’s favor and becoming a regular speaker in the extreme-right city of Dresden.  Pegida groups throughout Germany are associated with right-extremists, right-wing terrorists, and attacks on the media. (Credit Image: © Sachelle Babbar via ZUMA Wire)

  • July 31, 2017 - Warsaw, Poland - Polish President Andrzej Duda met with survivors who fought in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, on July 31st 2017, as part of the 73rd anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising in Poland. The President handed out various state medals and awards to the combatants of the Warsaw Uprising and met with surviving members of the families at the Warsaw Uprising Museum. The Warsaw Uprising started on August 1st 1944, at 5 PM, known as ''W'' hour, and lasted for 63 days. The uprising's goal was to liberate Warsaw from German Nazi control. Estimated figures of Polish civilian deaths range from 150 thousand to 200 thousand, while those who fought with the Home Army and were part of the underground resistance, (Armia Krajowa), the deaths are estimated at 16 thousand. By January 1945, 85 percent of the city of Warsaw was destroyed. After the Warsaw Uprising, Soviet occupation took hold for 44 years. Poland regained independence in 1989 when communism fell in the country. (Credit Image: © Anna Ferensowicz/Pacific Press via ZUMA Wire)

  • May 2, 2019 - Munich, Bavaria, Germany - ''Migration Kills'' under a postcard for neonazi Udo Voigt.  The neonazi NPD party organized an information table in one of the most-traveled districts of Munich- the pedestrian zone in the city center where shoppers, tourists and workers cross.  Behind the table was Munich city councilman Karl Richter, part of the neonazi group Buergerinitiativ Auslaender Stopp (Citizen Initiative to Stopp Foreigners) and Renate Werlberger of the NPD.  Both parties are widely accepted as being one and the same and confirmed by Richter in terms of ideology and membership.  The duo also displayed placards with ''Migration Kills'', deemed in the state of Saxony to be incitement.  Police refused to take a report to pass to the prosecutor. The pair were later joined by Heinz Meyer of Pegida Munich, who has been under federal terrorism monitoring since 2012. (Credit Image: © Sachelle Babbar/ZUMA Wire)

  • EXCLUSIVE: ***NO NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, NO NEW YORK TIMES, NO NEWSDAY*** Some homeowners plant elaborate gardens. Others splurge on tennis courts or swimming pools. Alan Wilzig prefers something a bit racier. In the backyard of his 150-year-old Dutch Colonial-style home in the Hudson Valley town of Taghkanic, he has built a 1.15-mile-long, 40-foot-wide, bidirectional racetrack — heavy on the hairpin turns and smooth as a billiard table — designed for high-performance motorcycles and cars. “You’re going fast enough to make your ass pucker,” Wilzig, 52, told The Post. “The f– ing hairs on your neck stand up.” The lobster-claw-shaped course is the only personal-use, professional-quality private racetrack in the world, according to Wilzig. It boasts nine turns, 80 feet of elevation changes, grass-covered boundaries and FoamAir fences outside the corners to soften the impact of going off course. (There have been four accidents on the track but no injuries.) Wilzig, who once made headlines for having co-owned a castle in Water Mill, LI, with his brother Ivan, describes the track as a “field of dreams for motor sports.” The impetus for it came in the late 1990s after a motorcycle-riding buddy in the Hamptons nearly got killed by an automobile; the idea of street-riding became increasingly unappealing to Wilzig. “After 100,000 miles of around-the-world motorcycle-riding without incident,” he said. “I realized it was only a matter of time before somebody pulled out in a fancy car and hit me.” Wilzig financed his property purchase with cash from the sale of the Trust Company of New Jersey bank in 2004. Long controlled by Wilzig’s father, Siggi B., who died in 2003, it went for $726 million. In 2005, Alan took his cut of the profits and bought the 275-acre spread upstate for $3.35 million. “I bought this property with the intention of building a racetrack,” said Wilzig, who served as the bank’s CEO and now focuses primarily on philanthropy.

The conferences are held by Juergen Elsaesser, founder of Compact magazine, a publication designed for right-extremists, conspiracy theorists, and right-wing sovereign citizens (Reichsbuerger).  The venue was the ironically-named Gasthof zum Rassen, which residents state has hosted numerous, unwanted far-right and right-extreme events in the village.  The city government is furthermore relatively quiet about such events, as stated by residents “they are afraid tourists will find out”.  Despite this, a spontaneous demonstration by residents took place. (Credit Image: © Sachelle Babbar/ZUMA Wire)

It boasts nine turns, 80 feet of elevation changes, grass-covered boundaries and FoamAir fences outside the corners to soften the impact of going off course. (There have been four accidents on the track but no injuries.) Wilzig, who once made headlines for having co-owned a castle in Water Mill, LI, with his brother Ivan, describes the track as a “field of dreams for motor sports.” The impetus for it came in the late 1990s after a motorcycle-riding buddy in the Hamptons nearly got killed by an automobile; the idea of street-riding became increasingly unappealing to Wilzig. “After 100,000 miles of around-the-world motorcycle-riding without incident,” he said. “I realized it was only a matter of time before somebody pulled out in a fancy car and hit me.” Wilzig financed his property purchase with cash from the sale of the Trust Company of New Jersey bank in 2004. Long controlled by Wilzig’s father, Siggi B., who died in 2003, it went for $726 million. In 2005, Alan took his cut of the profits and bought the 275-acre spread upstate for $3.35 million. “I bought this property with the intention of building a racetrack,” said Wilzig, who served as the bank’s CEO and now focuses primarily on philanthropy.
