AUSSIE GUNMAN’S MANIFESTO EMERGES
The gunman’s manifesto contains “white supremacist” propaganda. Mr Buchanan told 1NEWSNZ he had seen the manifesto, and the shooting is “clearly the case of a white supremacist.”
In the 73-page document, he said he had planned the attack for two years and had a location lined up three months before the attack today.
He goes on to describe himself as an “eco-fascist”.
“I was a communist, then an anarchist and finally a libertarian before becoming an eco-fascist,” he wrote.
He claims to have had brief contact with Anders Breivik, who was a far-right terrorist who killed 69 members of a youth league summer camp on the Norwegian island of Utoya in 2011. He killed a further eight through a car bomb in Oslo.
He was a member of anti-immigration, far-right groups and claimed to be a member of a new order of Christian Knight Templars.
The gunman also wrote of how he supported US President Donald Trump “as a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose,” but not as a policymaker.
He goes on to reference Candace Owens: “The person who has influenced me above all is Candace Owens”. Owens is an outspoken US pro-Trump activist known for her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of the Democratic Party.
In a chilling post on a social media forum posted last night, the ring leader — believed to be an Australian — stated: “I will carry out and attack against the invaders and even live stream the attack via Facebook.”
His display profile photo on the extremist forum featured a cartoon man wearing a wide-brimmed Dundee-style hat, clutching a VB beer captioned, “hold still while I glass you.”
In his post before the attack, the man posted: “If I don’t survive the attack, goodbye, godbless, and see you all in Valhalla!”
In Norse mythology, Valhalla is a “majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin”.
