The Trump-blaming media must not have read the Christchurch shooter's 'manifesto'
American Thinker ^ | 03/18/2019 | Alex Alexiev

Posted on 03/18/2019 8:42:16 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Reading the "Manifesto" of the Christchurch mass murderer, the first thing that strikes the reader is just how rational he is about what he expects will await him after his ghastly deed.  He hoped to survive, serve a life sentence, and be released after 27 years, all the while using his time in jail to "spread his ideals by media coverage."  Not unreasonably, he might have also said he would write a bestseller and become rich while in jail.  All of this thanks to the fact that the death penalty in New Zealand (and all of Europe) is considered cruel and unusual punishment even for scum like this.

More to the point, the entire mainstream media in both America and Europe promptly declared him a white right-wing terrorist, evidently without bothering to read his manifesto's pontifications first.  Terrorist and white he demonstrably is.  Whether he is right- or left-wing is a lot less certain.  A lot of the ideas he discusses in his "manifesto" are crackpot, to put it mildly.  But they are crackpot in a distinctly green, leftist way a lot more often than in a right-wing, let alone a conservative way.  He admires British Nazi Oswald Mosley, but apart from immigrants, he also hates capitalists and says he has plans to deal with both of these evils.  Another plan he has is to deal with overpopulation by killing "and by doing so save the environment."  The shooter's preferred social system is "green national socialism, which is anti-imperialist," and he sees China as a model to praise.

They don’t give a damn what the mass murderer wrote or didn’t write, all they care about is using the incident to target Trump and connect it to him. They will lie their asses off and their golf score IQ audience will eat it up....................

Theodore Roosevelt: What do I want? I want respect! Respect for human life and respect for American property! And I'm going to send the Atlantic Squadron to Morocco to get that respect.

John Hay: That's illegal.

Theodore Roosevelt: Why spoil the beauty of the thing with legality?

Liblogic 101. If PDJT’s name appeared anywhere within the screed, he’s to blame. No matter what the context, that’s the way it will be framed.

"Whether he is right- or left-wing is a lot less certain."

WRONG!

Starting on page 15 of his manifesto he calls himself an "Eco-Fascist" most closely allied with the ideals of "The Peoples Republic of China"!!!

He makes very clear that he is NOT a "conservative" and detests Trump's policies!!!

I saw that hilarious Greg Gutfeld show from last week where someone on his panel said that if President Trump could end the 70 year old Korean conflict, that would be an historic achievement.

Gutfeld said that if Trump did that, the media would say he killed a 70 year old!

My oldest daughter hates Trump, so of course the ONLY aspect of the manifesto she focused on was the part where the shooter described Trump as the leader of the white-supremacist movement, or however he put it. That was probably the only part of the manifesto that her source - whatever it was - mentioned.

***the entire mainstream media in both America and Europe promptly declared him a white right-wing terrorist, evidently without bothering to read his manifesto’s pontifications first.***

On Facebook, I challenged some of these cretins to read the manifesto, then put up or shut up.

This morning all my FB links and posts were gone. Scrubbed. Disappeared “into the O-zone” as we used to say.

Kind of hard to read the manifesto when Facebook removes it every time it is pasted on their site.

I’m speaking of the manifesto, not the video which I have not seen nor with to see.

A “Green” National Socialism, eh? And China as an example to follow? One, he’s got much in common philosophically with our domestic black clad and masked anarchist mob who show up regularly in the more tolerant of that sort of thing places like Portland. Genuine Fascists who emulate Hitler’s SA in all but the color of their shirts. Two, China is probably the most heavily polluted nation on Earth with absolutely no regard for any protection of the “environment”. Such levels of ignorance, illogic, and hatred of humanity can only exist on the Left.

Q: Won’t your attack result in calls for the removal of gun rights from Whites in the United states?

A: Yes, that is the plan all along, you said you would fight to protect your rights and the constitution, well soon will come the time.

In his manifesto, he calls himself an Eco-Fascist several times.

What is an Eco_Fascist?

See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecofascism

Ecofascism is a theoretical political model in which a totalitarian government would require individuals to sacrifice their own interests to the “organic whole of nature” and which would rely on militarism, expansionism, and possibly racism to defend the land.

But... they would also blame him if his name did not appear.
