The APF sparked a firestorm of media controversy in Italy over the weekend with a pair of packed conferences on the war on terror in Syria.
Saturday’s conference was held in a hotel in the centre of Venice, where a notable armed police presence testified to the very real fear of terrorist attacks generated by the blowback from the West’s deeply foolish decision to try to use violent Islamism as a tool of foreign policy in the Middle East.
Speakers on the Saturday included Nabil Al Malazi, head of the Association of ex-patriate Syrians in Poland, Nick Griffin and Roberto Fiore.
Mr Al Malazi illustrated his talk about the situation on the ground in Syria with extracts from a newly released video explaining the brutally bloody history of the Wahhabi heresy which, through Saudi Arabia and Qatar, has done so much to bring terrible war to Syria, Libya and parts of Africa and Asia, as well as the refugee crisis and terror attacks in Europe.
The event was closed with a powerful speech by Roberto Fiore, President of the Alliance for Peace and Freedom and leader of Forza Nuova.
The Sunday conference, held under similar co-operative but tight security conditions, included the same speakers, but with several notable additions.
The first was Gian Micalessin, a remarkably courageous journalist who showed and spoke about a dramatic film he made while embedded with the Syrian Army as its soldiers battled to liberate the ancient Christian town of Malula.
The drama of the film, including the rescue of besieged and wounded residents under fire, puts to shame anything produced by mainstream reporters these days.
Second was Maria Teresa Baldini, a regional MP who brought a feminine perspective to the analysis of the tragedy imposed on Syria by outside interference. Third, and the man whom the press pack at the meeting was really there to see, was Mario Mauro, formerly Italy’s Minister of Defence.
Mr Mauro came under massive political and media pressure to withdraw from the conference, but bravely stuck to his guns:
“Mr Fiore and the APF invited me to talk about peace in Syria. And if anyone asks me to speak about peace in Syria, I will go,” he told waiting reporters.
Mr Mauro’s speech included the observation that, of all outside powers involved in the region, only Russia had acted in defence of the Christian minority. He also commented on the fact that the war was to a significant extent the result of foreign interference by states such as Saudi Arabia.
The meeting was closed with a speech by Nick Griffin, Vice-President of the APF, who gave a very well-received warning about the extent to which ISIS and Al Qaida are hell-bent on the conquest of Italy and Rome, which are, to them, the final and most important target in their plan for world conquest.
“When the Jihadists go to somewhere like Germany or Sweden,” he explained, “it’s just about pretty blonde sex slaves. But to these millennialist lunatics, to take Rome is to bring about the End of History, the coming of the Muslim Messiah and the final conquest of the world for Islam.”
