Meet Brother Chapman

[_Danna]

Earlier this year, this bloke, Kyle Chapman, was attempting to set up an all white 'Nationalist Land Base' in New Zealand.

A leaked email outlines attempts to create a European-only "protected community" in North Canterbury.

Former National Front leader and skinhead Kyle Chapman wrote the email to the National Alliance - a far-Right group - and the email was leaked on to the internet.

The email begins with "Hello Patriots" and calls for donations to help build a "Nationalist Land Base".

The first base would be set up in North Canterbury, Chapman's email said.

"With an ever decreasing European population we face the real risk of having no power in our Nation," he said.

"We must act to build a unified mini state that we could build up in future to be a base for other like minded Europeans to come to from other dying countries."

A scant four months later...

He is the face of white supremacy in New Zealand - only recently in the headlines promoting a whites' only community in North Canterbury.

But if we are to believe Kyle Chapman, he has turned his back on his past.

Love has changed him forever.

He got married in the Morman Temple in Hamilton on Friday.

His best man was a Maori, the bride a Morman who has done some mission work.

The interview, he says, is his last before he attempts to escape his past with his new bride Claire Clifford.

I suspect the TV reporter (Paul Henry, a bit of a lunatic himself) confused 'Temple' and 'Chapel'. At least I hope he did. There was a brief shot of a ring exchange on a basketball court; on the other hand, Henry was trying to make something of the fact that none of Chapman's family were at the service.

Some other highlights from the segment: The new Sister Chapman, an ex-missionary apparently, stated "He's not racist, He's just pro-white", and, "He's so patriarchal".

I am trying to confirm the actual location of the ceremony. I don't see how he could have a TR.

There is more here:

...
The pair met in Christchurch nearly four years ago when Ms Clifford was on her Mormon mission. They lost contact over the past three years and met again on the social networking website Facebook a month ago. They spent 80 hours on the phone in two weeks, decided to marry and Mr Chapman flew into the city yesterday morning.

"I'm here because I want to have a nice peaceful life with Claire. She is an example of a righteous woman," Mr Chapman said before the ceremony.
...
It's little wonder. The 38-year-old father of five, to four different women including one ex-wife, is a former skinhead who was addicted to alcohol and drugs.

In his younger days in Invercargill he admitted to a series of arsons between 1987 and 1992, including fire-bombing a marae.

His time in the National Front gained him plenty of media coverage and notoriety, the most memorable incident a clash on the streets of Wellington where 50 of his supporters, many skinheads, got into a bloody battle with 800 marchers from the Multicultural Aotearoa rally.
...
Mr Chapman said his mother was a Mormon and he had gone back to religion before meeting Ms Clifford, 31, a private health worker.

Ms Clifford said church leaders were happy with her choice of husband. "They trust me, they're really happy for me. We've (Kyle and her) prayed about it and it feels totally right.''

They were planning a family and intended serving a Mormon mission together.

Though Mr Chapman repeatedly said he had moderated and that extreme National Front policies like repatriation of Asians and Polynesians were the group's, not his, he still had strong views.

''I still have concerns that all white people don't have the same rights as some other people. But that's irrelevant if we're not finding a way of getting back to God.''

one of his former comrades noted:

Actually, Kyle Chapman hasn't completely retired from White activism. He's merely exchanged one form of activism for another. Building a White family with a White woman is indeed a form of activism - and considering the declining White birth rate, it's a form of activism we can use much more of at this point in time. Chapman's decision is worthy of honor and respect.

While this is from one of his new(rediscovered) brothers:

...Who is better positioned than those of us who have been privileged to receive the fulness of the Gospel to take the lead in speaking out against any racial abuse, regardless of who it comes from or to whom it is directed? Any talk of "making up for past discrimination" can only perpetuate racial acrimony. This is why the Church leadership has wisely decided not to re-open old wounds by issuing a formal apology for having denied the Priesthood to blacks until 1978. Those Latter-day Saints who demand the Church make such an apology have a deficient understanding of what the late Spencer W. Kimball referred to as "The Miracle of Forgiveness". Likewise, Kyle Chapman owes no apology for his previous actions. The fact that he has repented of them and renounced them is sufficient.

Crickey. This isn't over yet if the local talkback radio is any indication!

Mr. Chapman looks so much more "white and delightsome" in the second photo.

More here: Kyle Chapman raised Mormon.

But while Mr. Chapman has moderated his views, he hasn't completely abandoned them. Although he's renounced ideas such as the repatriation of Asians and Polynesians, he intends to speak out against anti-White discrimination when it occurs. "I still have concerns that all white people don't have the same rights as some other people. But that's irrelevant if we're not finding a way of getting back to God", said Chapman.

And that's not unreasonable. Who is better positioned than those of us who have been privileged to receive the fulness of the Gospel to take the lead in speaking out against any racial abuse, regardless of who it comes from or to whom it is directed? Any talk of "making up for past discrimination" can only perpetuate racial acrimony. This is why the Church leadership has wisely decided not to re-open old wounds by issuing a formal apology for having denied the Priesthood to blacks until 1978. Those Latter-day Saints who demand the Church make such an apology have a deficient understanding of what the late Spencer W. Kimball referred to as "The Miracle of Forgiveness". Likewise, Kyle Chapman owes no apology for his previous actions. The fact that he has repented of them and renounced them is sufficient.

Edit: I see you just linked it.

[_Kishkumen]

A review of discussion on Stormfront Downunder indicates that he shouldn't have any problem with his ex-mates. Every person posting on the thread, without exception, respects his decision and wishes him well.

Well, he did marry a white, "Aryan"-looking woman.

[_Mercury]

It makes sense really. Of course, ask any white supremacist what they think of Mormonism and they will have the same derisive bigoted comments about Mormonism as they do about jews, non-whites, etc.

He is a dangerous bigot nonetheless.

[_Danna]

Mr. Chapman looks so much more "white and delightsome" in the second photo.

There is a plethora of delightsome pictures of this bloke around...







Can a guy, who less than six months ago was committed to purifying the nation of people like, oh... most of my family, really have a complete change of heart like that?

He claims to have returned to Mormonism prior to meeting his bride, on her mission, four YEARS ago. But is still active, in a leadership position, in crazy racist apocalyptic survival groups at the start of 2009.

He has married in the heartland of NZ Mormonism. He is pro-white? WTF is pro-white? It isn't even an ethnic group! If you watched the interview linked in the OP, his new bride mentions his 'patriachal' qualities repeatedly. This story has blown out my weird-o-meter.

[_KimberlyAnn]

What a disgusting, ugly man! He is repulsive in so many ways--I can't believe someone would marry him.

KA

[_karl61]

I would call the group in the fatigues the Gadianton robbers. Likely the only real group that ever existed.

[_Sethbag]

What a bunch of posers. Yeah, I've got fatigues on, and I'm holding a paintball gun. Beyotch!

ROFL.

I'm with Danna. This Mormon girl who married him is in for a real treat. But hey, the Spirit told her to marry this douchebag after 80 hours of phone calls, so it must be true. God wouldn't lie to her, would he?
