Today marks three months since the mosques in Christchurch were both shot up during the Friday prayers, causing the loss of now 51 lives. The suspect is allegedly the author of a 74-page manifesto titled "The Great Replacement", a reference to the "Great Replacement" and "white genocide" conspiracy theories. It said the attacks were planned two years prior, and that Christchurch was chosen over his original target, al-Huda in Dunedin, three months prior. Minutes before the attacks began, the manifesto was emailed to more than 30 recipients, including the prime minister's office and several media outlets, and links were shared on Twitter and 8chan. In the manifesto several anti-immigrant sentiments are expressed, including hate speech against migrants, white supremacist rhetoric, and calls for all non-European immigrants in Europe who are claimed to be "invading his land" to be removed. The manifesto displays neo-Nazi symbols such as the Black Sun and the Odin's cross. However, the author denies being a Nazi, describing himself instead as an "ethno-nationalist", an "eco-fascist", and a "kebab removalist", the latter in reference to a meme exalting the genocide of Bosnian Muslims that occurred during the Bosnian War. The author cites Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik and others as an inspiration. He says he supports U.S. president Donald Trump as "a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose", but not as "a policy maker and leader".
The manifesto has been deemed "objectionable" by the Chief Censor of New Zealand, making it unlawful to possess or distribute it in New Zealand. But that’s not gonna stop me, just like with a post last year where I named the shithead that killed Grace Millane despite some stupid name suppression order the courts issued. I have a copy of Australia’s answer to Mein Kampf on my phone, and over the coming week, I will put all 74 pages of pure horseshit under the microscope for an exclusive insight into the warped mind that is Brenton Harrison Tarrant.
