Arthur Kemp is a pro-white political figure, who had been politically active in South Africa before moving to Europe.[citation needed]

Southern Africa

Arthur Kemp was born in 1962 in Rhodesia, spending his formative early political years in South Africa. Kemp worked as a journalist for the South African Conservative Party, which opposed the handover of that country to ANC rule.

He was expelled from the Conservative Party in 1992 for opposing the party’s Apartheid policies, arguing that they were not only immoral, but in practical terms, unenforceable as well. [1] Kemp details all of this and the circumstances which led to his expulsion from the CP in his 2009 book (The Lie of Apartheid and other True Stories from Southern Africa published January 2009).[2]


Unfounded Criticism

Kemp has been the subject of a number of claims by the extremist leftist Southern Poverty Law Center in the United States and the Searchlight (magazine) organisation (founded by a Communist Party of Great Britain activist and former candidate [3] in the United Kingdom.

These claims include allegations that Kemp somehow remotely 'runs' the National Alliance in the United States of America, and that he worked/still works for the South African state security services. [4]

Kemp has dismissed all of these stories as lies and described them as “total rubbish”. [5].

Kemp has also denied being an “Apartheid intelligence agent” pointing out that he was conscripted [6] into the South African Police’s uniform branch.[7]

Meetings and Speeches in Germany

The SPLC has also claimed that Kemp is "well respected by the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party of Germany". This is incorrect. Kemp has never even met anyone active in the NPD.[citation needed] This invention stems from a 1992 speech Kemp gave at a 1992 meeting of the Coburg branch of the Deutsch südafrikanischer Gesellschaft (DSAG, the “German South Africa Society”).[8]

Kemp referred to the meeting in his book The Lie of Apartheid and other True Stories from Southern Africa [9] as follows: “The DSAG was a body funded by the South African department of Foreign Affairs which was designed to foster good relations with Germany.

“Because some members of the DSAG in Coburg were also members of the more overtly (but separately organized) right-wing Hilfskomitee Südliches Afrika (HAS: “Help Committee for South Africa”), extremist leftists later seized upon my appearance at this function to claim that it was some type of right-wing event, which it was not.

“Speaking to a hall full of Germans eager to know what was going to happen to South Africa after the referendum, I told them that apartheid was finished, and that unless the CP changed its policy to support a Volkstaat, it would vanish from the pages of history, along with all white politics in South Africa.

“Members of the visibly shocked audience then asked me what about the Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB) which had won worldwide notoriety with its quasi-swastika flag and parades of brown shirted men. Would the AWB, I was asked, not fight a handover to the ANC?

“I answered that although the AWB had, in theory, sixty thousand men in its “armed wing,” it was my prediction that only a tiny handful would ever do anything, and the rest would vanish if it came down to a fight.

“I predicted that a small number of AWB activists would resort to violence, but that this would be short-lived and the whole thing would peter out after they had all been arrested. I was completely correct in all the predictions I made at this conference. I was later given credit for this by people who at the time were less than impressed, including Clive Derby-Lewis, who remained firmly supportive of the apartheid policy. (An interesting aside to this DSAG meeting was that my speech, which was delivered in English, was recorded and translated into German. The overenthusiastic translator took my words which “predicted AWB violence” into meaning—in German—that there “must be AWB violence.”

“It was a translation error which would allow me to be accused of encouraging violence, something I certainly never did, especially in a foreign country which has very strenuous laws on those things.)” The Lie of Apartheid and other True Stories from Southern Africa. [10]

Other activities in South Africa

In South Africa, he made the acquaintance of Alan Harvey who was a member of the Herstigte Nasionale Party of South Africa. When Harvey returned to Britain he joined the British Conservative party and Kemp cut links with him. [11]

Involvment in political murder trial

Kemp knew Clive Derby-Lewis who along with Janusz Walus was found guilty for their roles in the murder of Chris Hani. Kemp's role in the incident was fully investigated by the South African Police, who were monitored in their investigation by George Churchill-Coleman, the former head of Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist squad [12] and Mathew Phosa, prominent ANC lawyer. [13]

Despite ANC input into the investigation of the Hani affair, Kemp was never charged and the subsequent court case confirmed that Kemp had nothing to do with the assassination of Hani. [14]

Kemp was subpoenaed to give evidence in the Derby-Lewis trial to confirm a statement given to police by the main accused.[15]

The court recognised that the list of names which Kemp had provided to the third accused, Gaye Derby-Lewis, was not a ‘hit list.’ Because of this, Gaye Derby-Lewis was acquitted of all charges and released [16]

Nationalist Politics

In Britain, Kemp became active with the British National Party. He oversees the BNP's Voting Membership training programme, and is content editor of the BNP’s website.[17]

Author

As of January 2009, Kemp had written and published five books, some of which have been published by Ostara Publications under the Lulu imprint.


They are, in chronological order:

  • Victory or Violence - The Story of the AWB of South Africa. First published in 1990, a revised version, updated and expanded, was published in 2008. This book tells the story of South Africa's Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB - Afrikaner Resistance Movement) [18] leader Eugene Terre'Blanche. According to the publisher, the “AWB was responsible for the most serious campaign of bombing and violence in South Africa's history as Apartheid came to an end in 1994, and no understanding of that country's history is complete without this largely eyewitness account.”
  • March of the Titans: The History of the White Race. First published in 2000, and reprinted six times since then, this is Kemp’s largest work which was described by the publisher as the “complete and comprehensive history of the White Race, spanning 350 centuries of tumultuous events” which reveals “the one true cause of the rise and fall of the world’s greatest empires - that all civilizations rise and fall according to their racial homogeneity and nothing else - a nation can survive wars, defeats, natural catastrophes, but not racial dissolution.”
  • Jihad: Islam's 1,300 Year War Against Western Civilisation. Published in 2008, this book details the clash between militant Islam and the West going back to the foundation of that religion. Included are reviews of the seizure by Islam of the Middle East, North Africa, Constantinople, Iberia and the Balkans. Also included are reviews of the West’s counterattacks, specifically the Crusades, the defence of Vienna and the expulsion of the Ottoman Empire from the Balkans. Finally this book deals with the thorny question of Islamist extremism in modern day Western nations, linking it to immigration.
  • The Immigration Invasion. Published in 2008, this book discusses the most controversial topic of all: Third World immigration into Western nations and its long-term consequences. Using only official sources, the book studies the long-term implications of massive population movements, and predicts that unless reversed, Third World immigration will overrun Western nations before the end of the 21st Century. It compares immigration restrictions practiced by non-western nations such as China, India and Mexico--all of which have strict limits on who can enter those countries—-to the lax immigration policies of European nations. Finally, this book calls for a political solution, devoid of racial hate, which must be implemented to prevent Western Civilization from vanishing under a Third World immigration wave.
  • The Lie of Apartheid and other true stories from Southern Africa. Published in 2009, this book is a series of nine essays themed around the author’s time in Southern Africa.
