[~] NAZI~LINE PROGRAM & CAMPAIGN ARE HITTING A RAW NERVE IN GERMANY

The NAZI~LINE INTRO-CAMPAIGN officially started in April 2001, when ubermorgen.com teamed up with german media artist christoph schlingensief. He was signed as the media anchor for the NAZI~LINE marketing-campaign
from April to June 2001 in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Strong media coverage and controversial debates over hate crime and/or nationalistic motivated crime are hitting a raw nerve in the german population.

Primary goals and investments of NAZI~LINE Ltd. are hate crime detection, prevention, alternative research und information distribution. On the commercial sector, we offer consulting services to corporations seriously infected with hate crime. NAZI~LINE asks: "How come your company can afford hate crime?"

NAZI~LINE Ltd. is a new company initated by the the ubermorgen-network [ http://www.ubermorgen.com ], the same holding-company that produced the notorious [V]ote-auction web-site during the U.S. presidential elections in fall 2000. Our holding's headquarters as well as the fully owned subsidiary NAZI~LINE Ltd. are based in Sofia/Bulgaria [ubermorgen Ltd.].

[] NAZI~LINE DESIGNER ASSAULTED AT PUBLIC LECTURE IN VIENNA

In April, the multi-awarded star designers bart-n-lisa.com, who created the look & feel of the NAZI~LINE web-site received an invitation to hold a lecture in the reknown viennese art museum "Kunstlerhaus". During their presentation, NAZI~LINE executives Maria Haas, Hans A. Bernhard, and bart-n-lisa.com designer Alister P.M. were attacked by an idividual identified as "Stefan". "Stefan" apparently felt that NAZI~LINE was dishonoring nationalism and german 3rd reich values by using its aesthetics to attract neo-Nazis to the program. NAZI~LINE strongly opposes such acts of raw violence and whishes to express their deepest regrets for the interpruption by this obviously psychologically-challenged person.

Strangely, staff members of the Kunstlerhaus, which still serves as a haven for so-called "Old-Nazis" - they serve in the board of members - decided to ban NAZI~LINE from their website instead of exploring anddiscussing the issue.

Please feel free to look at the footage, provided by an amateur filmer from the audience [a guest of voortekk.com]: http://www.terrorbyte.net

[] BEFORE AND AFTER: NEO-NAZIS, SKINHEAD MUSIC AND THE GERMAN "REICHSTAG"

NAZI~LINE casted 6 individuals engaged in the german Neo-Nazi scene for the play "Hamlet" at the "Schauspielhaus" Theater in Zurich, Switzerland. Here is a quick overview about what happened to some of the integrated Neo-Nazis and novice actors since the play opened May 12, 2001 in Zurich:

• Melanie Dittmer - the only woman in the crew - returned to her old routine, and is back with her former Neo-Nazi gang members. She was subsequently expelled from the "Hamlet" acting-crew.
• Torsten Lemmer, who controls the largest label for right-wing skinhead music worldwide, has announced his intention to sell off his majority-share of the music-company to the german ministery of interiors. negotiations are said to be underway. The label: http://www.rocknord.de
• Markus Boesfleisch, who is a studied actor, was imprisoned in cologne/germany on charges of failure to comply with a former court ruling.
• Jan Zobel was kicked out from his ongoing apprenticeship in a dusseldorf/germany based company. he now moved on to acting as the leading force behind the founding of an alternative exit-program from and for neo-Nazis [self-support group].
• Martin Kohlmann was kicked out by his "Hamlet" crew members as they did not consider his motivation to leave Nazism behind to be sincere.

During their latest media appearances at the german "Reichstag" - the german parliament - guided by green party member rezzo schlauch and a dozen camera-teams and news-reporters, and at the press conference june 12 in zurich, crew members stated that they intend to start their own program, from and for neo-Nazis willing to leave their communities.

[] GERMAN "EXIT"-PROGRAM ATTACKS NAZI~LINE VIA THE MEDIA

As Germany seems to be again falling into the pitfalls of fatally interpreted patriotism, german minister of interiors, Otto Schily [former laywer of leftist terror group RAF] gave start to a number of federal, state and community programs aiming to fight Neo-Nazi movements.

The primary goal of these undisclosed and only vaguely described programs, namely "RAUS" [german for "get out"], is to use classical FBI-strategies in order to target Neo-Nazi groups by offering attractive crown witness programs to key people within those movements. The second most prominent program "EXIT" was initiated by german yellow-press-magazin "Stern" and former intelligence officer Bernd Wagner. While both of the above-mentioned programs surely want to seriously reach out to hate-striken people throughout germany, they unfortunately fail to clearly differentiate between partners and "the enemy":
NAZI~LINE received legal threats by "EXIT" ordering NAZI~LINE to refrain from mentioning EXIT within their link list. Additionally we have trustworthy information that "EXIT" has put enormous pressure on small grassroot organisations such as "WEISSE ROSE DUESSELDORF", in order to avoid their cooperation with the NAZI~LINE campaign.

Furthermore, the .gov funded RAUS program and their federal and state units are surfing our web-site day in, day out, trying to find how to legally stop NAZI~LINE from operating its online services.

[~] THE NAZI~LINE CAMPAIGN IN GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND

Our european NAZI~LINE ad-campaign intendes to establish the brand NAZI~LINE within a broad audience. The overwhelming success of the campaign proofs NAZI~LINE's ideas of artistic and alternative methods to be a most viable mean of targeting classic taboo issues.

The NAZI~LINE campaign integrated neo-nazis economically by providing jobs to individuals ready to leave their old world of useless hate behind. The pilot-project "HAMLET" has recruited 6 neo-Nazis to play in Shakespears "Hamlet", directed by Christoph Schlingensief.

"..Schlingensief, known for his political incorrectness.. who misses no opportunity to portray how politics and life are intertwined..."
NZZ, april 2001 http://www.nzz.ch/english/swiss_week/2001/april.html

The NAZI~LINE campaign site has so far gathered around 2.5 Mio Visits and a registered community of about 17.000 users within the months April to June 2001. Over 500 News-features [TV, Radio, Online, and Print] in Europe resulted in a massive media surface. Journalists in Switzerland, Germany and Austria, but also The Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Russia, and France have covered the story since.

[~] THE CAMPAIGN TIMELINE; ACTIONS & TOPICS:

[~] NAZI~LINE PROGRAM TALKS DIRECTLY TO HATE-CRIME INFECTED COMPANIES

How come your company can afford hate crime?

NAZI~LINE consults companies in fighting hate crime and related economic problems. NAZI~LINE is working on both sides of the problem: We offer online-programs for infected companies, helping them find out about their risks and money losses. NAZI~LINE invests into education and integration and offers add-on services such as psychological and medical treatment of Neo-Nazis and hate criminals.

We offer classic consulting services in the area of corporate troublemakers and criminal employees to companies and managers ready to increase revenues by carefully identifying troublemakers within their organizations.

Large scaled companies as well as small family businesses have to look for rising profits in order to maintain a healthy economic position in their respective markets. But what to do, if your community and therefore your company becomes infected with hate crime and its ugly side-effects? One solution, taken by most big corporations, is to move one's business to another place, where hate crime is either not as apparant or being taken care of in a serious, preventional manner. However, this step, clearly deteriorates an already critical situation in hate crime affected areas.
Solution number two [staying and "fighting"] can seem like more work, but creates more flexibilty on the side of the company. Companies in hate-crime infected areas can receive public funding, improve their image, can influence municipial politics and rocket themselves into the hearts of small-towners and urban communities.

International corporations as well as individual victims are kindly asked to register:

[~] EUROPE FALLS BEHIND: HATE CRIME AS A NON-EXISTENT TERM IN GERMANY

Hate crime and Neo-Nazism can affect the growth and prosperity of companies and economic networks throughout the whole world! The most recent and most prominent example for the western world has been the wave of war and crime throughout the Balkans.

Whereas in the United States the term "hate crime" has been recognized as a unique form of criminal act since the 1950's, european initiatives and politicians still focus on neo-nazistic issues and groups. the European Union [EU] stricly negates hate crime as a phenomenon. Thus, hate crimes are being viewed not as an act against human core values, but the classic xenophobic motives are being transformed into extremist political
(non-)values.

Economic downturn becomes a political issue, and communities, families, and individuals worldwide are the victims of the daily racist, sexist, and homophobic crimes. a party to the battle which is often being totally forgot about is the company - employing those who commit hate crimes or even committing hate crimes themselves - and the impact of hate criminals on infected companies.

Companies are losing money as we speak because of employees or owners filled by hatred and prejudice. These costs include huge marketing and image costs directly caused by harmful communication undertaken by hateful employees.
