Media Calls The New Zealand Shooter 'Right-Wing'

The Washington Post called the New Zealand mosque shooting “one of the worst cases of right-wing terrorism in years.” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison called the killer "an extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist."

“The person giving a sign of allegiance to President Trump is the killer here,” said CNN’s John Berman. “He called him a symbol of white identity. The language he uses in this manifesto is all about invaders. It is all about invaders, similar to the killer at the synagogue in Pittsburgh and language President Trump used in a campaign ad before the midterm election. The word invader means something to people around the world.”

But CNN and the rest of the media have been extremely selective and misleading in their presentation of the killer’s manifesto.

To say that the killer gave his “allegiance to President Trump” is absurd. Under the headline “Were/are you a supporter of Donald Trump?”, Berman writes “As a policy maker and leader? Dear god no.”

He frequently uses the term invader, but his reason was an environmentalist one. “The environment is being destroyed by over population.” Did he hate minorities? He certainly did: “We Europeans are one of the groups that are not over populating the world. The invaders are the ones over populating the world. Kill the invaders, kill the overpopulation and by doing so save the environment.”

You certainly won’t find any of the media, including CNN, blaming environmentalists for the carnage at the mosques.

Trump’s views on immigration couldn’t be more different from the shooter’s. The killer doesn’t want any immigration, whereas Trump supports letting in unprecedented numbers of people through merit-based immigration. . . .

Remember when that Bernie Bro shot at US Republican Congressmen?

We were told it wasn’t terrorism and his motives may never be truly known.

We need a law, similar to “Godwin’s Law” that says anyone who tries to put the blame on President Trump automatically loses the argument. So when some airhead puts out a bunch of tripe, the response would be “-——— Law”... you lose!

All over the legitimate net— you look it up- both photos are there, not photoshopped. Don’t do post or repost photos on FR not for myself or noob amateurs, and to save Jim bandwidth. Been here since b4 the beginning FRiend— ie. b4 the FL recount for grunts, and bushie regrets.

So watch your language & ad hominem (is THAT one you understand- or should use another of my 7). Not allowed per Jim et cie you know. Out of date E. LA ain’t cuttin’ it, and defending podesta definitely doesn’t cut it- they are satanic scum epstein buddies.

FYI- podesta (john) needs cash for lawyers- he is not protected, not since manafort, okay— you get why that would be? So he finished up a speaking “tour” in NZ in support of the current lame brain PM there. His advance team being looked into- as the ground team for the cutout “aussie” “radicalized” in Paki. uh-huh.

Gonna need something better than 125 yds out 22mag WIN, and a whole lot less of cleaning up.

“Alt-right”, maybe, which is not anybody’s idea of “conservative” or “libertarian”.

He would only be “right-wing” in the same context that Josef Stalin called the Nationalist Socialists of Germany “right-wing”. Only slightly to the right of International Socialism, commonly known as “Communist”.

But still vastly to the left of the individualism that was the foundation of laissez-faire government-free capitalism, with its rights to the quiet enjoyment of property.
