Neo-Nazi thrown out
By Abdul Turay 11 August 2009

An American neo-Nazi has failed in his attempt to remain in the country after a court rejected his asylum plea and branded him a racist and a public menace.

Craig Cobb, 57, founder and operator of the Podblanc website, a sort of YouTube for racists, emigrated to Estonia in 2005. Cobb planned to make Estonia the centre for his propaganda campaign to promote white nationalism.

Now it seems time is up for Cobb. He was put on trial August 2009 and banned from Estonia for a minimum of 10 years. Cobb was found guilty of endangering public security, public order, public safety, moral standards, and health. The court also found that he was promoting racism and was a racist.

Cobb has not yet been removed from the country, but is being detained.

“I have cash and an American passport and am expelled by Estonia, but they have me locked down here till 16 Sept if they want and I think I can get extensions every two months. One Khazarstan(sic) guy has been here a year,” Cobb wrote on his website.

The Office of Internal Affairs has been trying to deport Cobb since at least February 2007.

Cobb originally left the country on 2 June 2009 once it became clear the authorities were closing in on him. He went to Finland and applied for asylum the same day on the basis of his religious and political beliefs. Cobb is a member of the creativity movement, a white nationalist quasi-religion. Finland rejected his asylum claim and he was sent back to Estonia under the terms of the Dublin convention whereby a failed asylum-seeker should be returned to the last safe country they were in.

According to his website Cobb now plans to go to Canada which he calls “Israel North,” from there he plans to go to another European country like Serbia or Bosnia.

Cobb first came to public attention in 2006 when he bought a run-down house near Rapla

“Nigger-hater makes a centre in woods near Rapla,” Eesti Express wrote at the time.

Cobb had said that countries like the USA And the UK were “disgusting sewers” beyond redemption because of their large ethnic minority populations.

Prior to coming to the Estonia Craig Cobb had come to attention in the USA when he put the home address of a federal judge on a white nationalist website. The judge's husband and mother were subsequently murdered at that address.

Many of the videos of the Cobb's Podblanc site depict men, women and even small children being viciously beaten by skinhead thugs, mostly in Russia.

Black men, Estonian women: the truth By Abdul Turay Published Postimees 11 November 2009 Well that got your attention; the headline I mean. Any story on this subject, the technical term is miscegenation, is bound to get punters. The yellow media, women's magazines and reality TV shows are obsessed with the subject. Not a month goes by without some publication writing about it. Anne and Style, for example, recently ran a long feature about mixed couples. Most of these stories are muddle-headed and wrong. There's paranoia in this country that there is an army of dark-skinned men form Turkey, the tropics, some place south, who are going to make off with the nation's women. It's never going to happen. I'll explain why in a minute. Seriously, I think there are more important things to think about and worry about. I worry about feeding my family. I worry about other people being able to feed their families, so I write about politics and economics. But the p...

The second sex Published Postimees 16 January 2013 One issue scares the hell out of me. Men's rights. We are are told that we live in a male dominated society, that men have it easier than women; there are people who make a living by telling us this. In Estonia there are a dozen organisation dealing with women's rights there is even a gender studies unit (i.e. women's studies unit) at Tartu University, but there isn't yet far as I am aware, and I have checked, even one organisation dealing with men's right. It is inevitable that anybody who challenges this hegemony will come in for a barrage of criticism from an army of well-funded groups. When men's rights are discussed, it is in the context of men's health. Men are dying off. Men die younger and are more likely to commit suicide than women. Even God it seems is against men. Last week January 10 2012, for example the ministry of internal affairs published figures that show, ...

The Great Migration Published Postimees  13 Sept 2012 Recently, I asked a group of young people, if they have Facebook accounts. They looked at me like I was mad. "That's like asking us, do we have a noses?" one of them said. "Come to think of it even people who don't have noses have Facebook accounts," another said to much laughter. Last week 6 th July, Kanal 2 did a program "Minu Facebooki sõbrad". It was a light hearted look at the social network phenomenon. But the whole Facebook is king challenges some of our cherished beliefs about modern Estonia. 10 years ago when I first visited here, Estonia was more advanced than my own country the United Kingdom. It was a revelation. Estonia was my introduction to whole concept of social networking. Rate.ee was founded in May 2002, that's a year before Orkut, or MySpace, two years before Facebook. I so wasn't impressed when I first saw Facebook. "So...
