Shooter’s warped race hate ranting
A RACIST rant purporting to be the manifesto of the Christchurch gunman says he is from a working-class Australian family, and calls out the Sydney gang rapes, terror attacks and the “unarmed invasion” of Western cultures as driving factors in his evil attack.
It also claims he began plotting the attack two years ago — then, chillingly, “at the location” three months ago.
Titled The Great Replacement: Towards A New Society, the disturbing 73-page document posted online declares the attacker’s motives and some details of his background, without using a name — though it is believed to have been written by Brenton Tarrant.
“Just an ordinary White man, 28 years old. Born in Australia to a working class, low income family,” the document says. “My parents are of Scottish, Irish and English stock.”
Noting he had a regular childhood with little interest in schooling and that he didn’t attend university, the manifesto claims he is making a stand for his people in the face of rising immigration and falling Western birthrates.
The writer says he is taking revenge for terror attacks and “enslavement … by Islamic slavers” and that he wants to incite violence and directly intimidate immigrants to leave Western countries. He claims his life was changed by a terror attack in Stockholm in 2017, when a truck driver ran down five people.
Stating his own actions are terrorism and racially inspired, he claims he chose New Zealand to strike in order to show that “nowhere in the world was safe”.
He says he chose the mosques in particular after visiting them. He also mentions he wants to target a third mosque — a converted church in Ashburton — but might not manage to do so.
Continuing with his diatribe, he says he developed his beliefs from the internet, adding: “You will not find the truth anywhere else.” He also hints at a “brief contact” with Anders Breivik, the far-right terrorist who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011.
And he says he was not influenced by family and friends, calling them “typical Australians, apathetic and for the most part apolitical, only truly showing motivation in matters of animal rights, environmentalism and taxation”.
The manifesto calls out cases of rape and sexual assault against women in the West by “the invading forces”, highlighting the infamous Sydney gang rapes, led by the Lebanese Skaf brothers, and the UK’s Rotherham child sex ring — in which a number of disadvantaged girls were targeted by British-Pakistani men.
It also questions why diversity of races in society is seen as a plus, arguing “racial nationalism is what provides strength”, claiming radicalisation of young Western men is “inevitable”. The manifesto names “high-profile enemies” who the writer wants assassinated, including German chancellor Angela Merkel, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Turkish President Recep Erdogan.
He urges followers to murder business leaders who are “anti-white”; kill drug dealers; see NGOs as traitor groups and deport non-Europeans from “European” lands.
