Manifesto posted online claims Christchurch gunman wanted revenge for Sydney gang rapes and Stockholm terror attack

The purported manifesto of the Christchurch gunman says he is a working-class Australian — and calls out the Sydney gang rapes and terror attacks as driving factors in his war on non-whites.

A document claimed 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 war on non-whites.

He also claims he began plotting the attack two years ago — then, chillingly, “at the location” three months in advance.

Titled “The Great Replacement: Towards A New Society” the 73-page document posted online at www.scribd.com declares the attacker’s motives and some details of his background, without using a name. Much of it is in a Q&A style.

“Just an ordinary White man, 28 years old. Born in Australia to a working class, low income family,” he writes of himself.

“My parents are of Scottish, Irish and English stock.”

Rantings from the manifesto posted online.

Noting he had a regular childhood with little interest in schooling and that he didn’t attend university, he adds he made some money from Bitconnect then went travelling — most recently working “part-time as a kebab removalist”.

Claiming he is making a stand for his people in the face of rising immigration and falling Western birth rates, 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 — and says he wants particular vengeance for one of those victims, partially deaf 12-year-old Ebba Akerlund.

Accepting 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”; and he chose the mosques in particular after visiting them. He also mentions he wanted to target a third mosque — a converted church in Ashburton — but might not manage to do so.

He says he is acting alone, is not a nazi nor an anti-semite, and that he developed his beliefs from the internet, adding: “You will not find the truth anywhere else”. He hints at “brief contact” with Anders Breivik, the far-right terrorist who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011.

And he stresses 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 UK’s Rotherham child sex incident — in which a number of disadvantaged girls were targeted by British-Pakistani men — and the infamous Sydney gang rapes, led by the Lebanese Skaf brothers.

It also questions why diversity of races in society is seen as a plus, arguing that “racial nationalism is what provides strength”, and warns that radicalisation of young Western men is “inevitable”.

Ranting at the decay of Western society, the writer asks why people from stronger cultures would want to assimilate into a “dying, decadent” one. Repeatedly, the manifesto returns to the theme that migrants are beginning to outnumber and culturally overwhelm Europeans.

It names “high-profile enemies” who the writer wants assassinated, including German chancellor Angela Merkel, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Turkish President Recep Erdogan. He also 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.

Ranting at what he appears to consider an injustice, the writer claims that gunning down armed invaders of a country would see the shooter hailed as a national hero — but targeting “unarmed invaders” will see the shooter considered a monster.

Claiming he hoped to survive the incident, the writer later remarks that “death is certain”. The manifesto declares the “worth of your life” is measured by “your actions during it” — and it urges followers to “embrace infamy … until victory is achieved.”
