A group of American nationalist activists have held a rally outside the Australian Consulate in Texas demanding the release of political prisoner Joel Davis.
The protesters gathered outside the Consulate-General in Houston last Sunday, held banners saying “Australia is antiwhite” and “Free Joel Davis”, and delivered a speech through a megaphone.
Mr Davis has been in solitary confinement since November 20 after being arrested in Bondi, Sydney, and charged with “using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend” after allegedly telling his Telegram followers to “rhetorically rape” a female MP, and has been refused bail multiple times due to his political beliefs.
The former member of the now-disbanded National Socialist Network missed the birth of his first child, is housed in a prison condemned as “inhumane”, and has be designated a national security threat, meaning he has not been allowed access to books, is in 24-hour isolation, and has a restricted phone list.
Noticer News understands Mr Davis was given a bible last week, while alleged Bondi terrorist Naveed Akram – who prepared for the massacre while Australia’s security agencies were focussing on the NSN and arresting Mr Davis – was given a copy of the Koran in early January while being held at the same Sydney prison.
One of the organisers of the Texas protest, Russell Womack, told Noticer News the building was in a “very diverse” area and the demonstrators were abused by aggressive far-left agitators as they showed their support for Mr Davis.
“As Texans we feel a kinship to the Australian. In both Texas and Australia our Anglo-Saxon ancestors came to an inhospitable, mostly barren land and forged truly beautiful civilisations,” said Mr Womack, who is also a board member with the National Organisation for Vital Action (NOVA), although the demonstration was not sponsored by NOVA.
“We are also in similar situations because we, and the Australian, live under a Zionist occupied government which hates the folk who comprise the nation.
“We stood in solidarity with Joel Davis, and demanded his freedom because he is a political prisoner plain and simple, who has been treated unjustly because he advocates for his own folk. We used our freedom of speech, while we still can, where those in Australia cannot due to a tyrannical antiwhite government.”
Several large signs saying “free Joel Davis” were also seen at patriotic rallies in Sydney and Melbourne on Australia Day.
During Mr Davis’s last unsuccessful bail application on January 15 the magistrate referred to his alleged “radicalisation”, and said she had to take his political views into account when deciding to grant bail after the prosecution said he shouldn’t be released back to his home in Bondi because of the area’s large Jewish community.
“I can’t divorce the matter from the circumstances of what’s happened in last month,” she said.
Mr Davis was originally denied bail by a different magistrate due to his alleged risk of reoffending, his “espoused ideology”, then-membership of the NSN, and his participation in a protest against Jewish lobby influence in early November.
MP Allegra Spender said on social media that Mr Davis and the other demonstrators should be jailed over the protest, and Mr Davis allegedly made the post he was charged over in response.
His barrister argued during the most recent bail application that his client was using a “philosophical term of art” in the alleged post, which would be seen by a reasonable person as being distinct from a threat of “actual rape”.
He also presented statistics showing that out of 2,000 convictions for the same charge, only 6.5% had resulted in a prison sentence, and submitted that Mr Davis’s alleged offence was at the lower end of the spectrum.
Mr Davis will face court again on Wednesday.
