The suspected gunman who killed dozens of people in New Zealand is an Australian ‘racist eco-fascist’ who posted a 74-page manifesto online before the shootings and described Donald Trump as a “symbol of white supremacy”.

The man, who identified himself in a livestream of the massacre as Brenton Tarrant, said he was motivated by far-right extremism he saw in the United States to carry out the attack at Al Noor Mosque.

At least 49 people were gunned down dead in two mosques in New Zealand. At least 41 people were killed at the Masjid Al Noor mosque in central Christchurch while at least seven people died inside the suburban Linwood Masjid Mosque.

The suspect has been charged with murder while three other people have been held in custody.

Police have said a man in his late 20s has been charged with murder and will appear at the Christchurch court on Saturday morning.

Footage of the attack at the Al Noor mosque was posted under the username ‘Brenton Tarrant 9’ and shows the gunman firing 205 times on men, woman and children and stopping only to reload his weapons.

Tarrant also appears to have posted a link to a manifesto on a now-deleted Twitter account and the online forum 8chan where he spoke of his hatred for Muslim immigrants in Europe.

In it, he says he was inspired by mass killer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011. He also mentions Finsbury Park terrorist Darren Osborne as well as London mayor Sadiq Khan.

He also goes on to rail against mass immigration and said he views Donald Trump as a “symbol of renewed white identity”.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed the shooter was Australian and described him as an “extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist”.

The manifesto included various questions and answers, one of which asked: “Who are you?”

The reply said: “Just a ordinary White man, 28 years old. Born in Australia to working class, low income family.

“My parents are of Scottish, Irish and English stock. I had a regular childhood, without any great issues. I had little interest in education during my schooling, barely achieving a passing grade.”

He added: “I am just a regular White man, from a regular family. Who decided to take a stand to ensure a future for my people.”

The manifesto said he carried out the attack “to show the invaders that our lands will never be their lands, our homeland are our own and that, as long as a white man still lives, they will NEVER conquer our lands and they will never replace our people”.

He said he was in New Zealand temporarily while he “planned and trained” the attack.

With regard to planning the attack, he wrote: “I begun planning an attack roughly two years in advance and an attack at the location in Christchurch three months in advance.”

He also expresses support for Donald Trump who he described as “a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose”.

This was horrendous and the whole world should be appalled and distraught at these actions. We see too much violence from Muslims terrorizing Western cities and from random acts of violence like what we say in New Zealand. Violence begets violence and I'm not sure where it will all end. Since you brought it up, I've noticed a strange divergence in how the liberal media is covering this story. When it is a Muslim terrorist killing Americans or Europeans, then the liberal media says "no one knows the motivation....this was a lone gunman....not much is known about why this happened". When it is a white guy attacking Muslims, the coverage is "this is a racially motivated terrorist attack...people are being emboldened by racist leaders". The liberal media is just so corrupt. They think we can't all see what they are doing, but we can. The whole agenda is to make sure the whole world believes that all white people and men in particular are evil and Muslims are the salt of the earth and another victimized group that the evil white man despises. But you know what? We're not fooled. It's obvious that extreme bias is at work here and that the liberals are simply driving their agenda 24/7 to create all their little victim groups that they can marginalize, divide, and therefore, control all the way to the ballot box so they can regain power. None of us are fooled by this crap.
