Minnesota Book Burning & Concert featuring Total War

Minnesota Book Burning & Concert featuring Total War:

After action report:

Tonight nearly 100 men and women from the National Socialist Movement and allied Comrades gathered near Downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. The night began with Dinner at a local restaruant, where we nearly filled the place.

After Dinner, the massive convoy of cars, suv's, pickups, and vans drove to the inner City area where we held the First ever Book Burning organized by National Socialists in the United States. A nice Minnesota Temperature of approx. 3 degrees prompted the men to work extra fast, and get the fire going quickly. Standing in a massive circle many in attendance stood close to the flames, the torches were then lit, and it began! As flames whipped high into the air, several announcements were made, and I offered the first of many items to the flames. The first thing to hit the pyre was several letters from the German Govn't telling us how music from our Record Label (NSM Records) is banned in Germany. After that, an Israeli flag was set to burn. Then the books came hurling into the flames, The Talmud went up in flames along with its brother the Communist manifesto, then came books promoting homosexuality/beastiality, and so on. Upon viewing either the high flames or perhaps hearing the shouts of White Power in the inner City, the Police soon showed up. They walked through the snow to see what was going on, and asked us to move a vehicle that was parked off of the road. After that they watched on from the road on a hillside.

Just as this event was heating up, NSM Security recieved a phone call from the VFW Hall where we reserved space for the Total War show. The Hall owner who knew exactly who we were, and whom we had written and signed contracts with says he changed his mind, and thought we were a Wedding Party, even though the contract clearly says Concert right on it. So a few of us left the book burning early to go directly talk with the Hall owner. He attempted to give me back the money we payed for the Hall and said he didn't want us there, I refused to take the money knowing he was in breech of contract. He then became upset and called the Police, the Police basically surrounded the Hall and told us the breech of contract would have to be dealt with in court, but that we had to leave now.

Plan B was then set into motion. We had 2 bands and nearly 100 people, so lets find another club. We tried and tried, and no luck was finding us. Then one of the women started calling places asking if a Nazi Band could come and play, all of a sudden a venue is found. By this time a number of Comrades had already left, but the rest of the group went to the club, set up, and started playing. The opening band was a metal band of new Comrades from the Minneapolis area. A pit formed and even a few of the old timers got in to it. Then Total War hit the stage and the crowd went wild, shouts of Sieg Heil and White Power could be heard for blocks. Women and other Whites wandered from the upper level of the club & gathered to see who was playing.

Needless to say, it was an awesome event! I wish I would not have had to of missed the last part of the evening, and I want to thank everyone that came out to Minnesota to do this with the NSM/ HQ Crew.

Special thanks to the bands, NSM Concert Security, the local NSM crew (Ray for the books, Mike for helping on coordinating, Chad for the firewood, Pat for directions, Josh on security, and all the rest of the local crew that pitched in), NSM Kansas for the torches and Security shirts, NSM Michigan for filming, the tattoo artists, and everyone else that played a part, we Salute YOU!

Hail Victory! Commander Jeff Schoep/ NSM HQ www.nsm88.com
