Neo-Nazi rapper Mr. Bond: The beat of right-wing terror
There is now an indictment against Philip H., allegedly the man behind the neo-Nazi rapper Mr. Bond - he faces up to 20 years in prison. His lawyer appealed. The Carinthian gets support from neo-Nazis in the USA
"Moonman, hand me the gun. I'll make sure that the Jewish families run," raps Mr. Bond on one of his "mixtapes". Racist fantasies of violence, jokes about the Holocaust and hate speech were the musician's core business for years.
For example, when Bond sings in his version of "Ayo Technology" by 50 Cent, alluding to the Holocaust: "I don't believe we did that. But this time we will really wipe out everything Semitic."
In 2019, a neo-Nazi assassin in Halle, Germany, played his music in the car on the way to the synagogue - as a "comment" on the attack, as he later testified in court. At the latest, the authorities became aware of the terrorist rapper. On January 20 of this year, Philip H., allegedly the man behind the rapper, according to the police, was arrested in his home town of Paternion in Carinthia. He has been in custody since then.
Now there is an indictment under the Prohibition Act by the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office. The 36-year-old is said to have "acted in the National Socialist sense", which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. The accused should remain silent when the police questioned them. At the request of STANDARD, his lawyer let it be known that he was not allowed to speak to the media. At the beginning of November, however, he filed an objection to the indictment. Now the ball is at the Higher Regional Court.
Networking
Like most right-wing terrorist suspects, the former insurance employee from Paternion near Villach is considered a loner. He is said to have lived withdrawn, to be introverted. It is unclear whether this corresponds to the truth or should absolve those around him of responsibility and complicity. It is clear, however, that the Nazi rapper Mr. Bond is well connected and was in constant contact with like-minded people from different countries.
The misanthropic line of text quoted at the beginning was not just an anti-Semitic version of the world hit "Shoot Outs" by US rapper JadaKiss. It was also a collaboration between the popular neo-Nazi musician Moonman and Mr. Bond. Moonman is actually not a real person. The internet phenomenon with the moon face comes from right-wing extremist circles. Its exterior is a simple copy of a McDonald's advertising mascot. Musically, Moonman is accordingly not very demanding: A computer-generated voice that speaks extremely racist and hateful texts is superimposed on beats.
A similar "duet" is the neo-Nazi cover version of Eminem's hit "Cleaning Out My Closet", which Philip H. is said to have rewritten with the US musician Morrakiu into an anti-Semitic inflammatory song. Like Moonman, Morrakiu is a well-known musician, particularly in racist online groups. And with Morrakiu, too, fascism is on the agenda: song titles like "Hitler did nothing wrong" and calls for the murder of Jews - all of this can be found in the American's discography.
Also active outside of the music scene
The Carinthian H. is also said to have been active outside the music scene. Posts available to STANDARD from a neo-Nazi forum say that the man allegedly worked for the American Republican Patrick Little. The right-wing extremist is said to have "very much inspired" him, presumably wrote Philip H. in January 2019. "I was quite involved in his campaign to become a senator."
Patrick Little applied for the senatorial post in California the year before. With no chance, he challenged the incumbent Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein. However, he used the attention during the election campaign to spread his anti-Semitic ideas: Little called for the United States to be "free of Jews", denied the murder of millions of Jews in the Holocaust and made no secret of his admiration for Adolf Hitler.
