A gunman - believed to be a 28-year-old Australian - has opened fire at a mosque in New Zealand, shooting at children and reportedly killing at least nine people.

Witnesses reported hearing 50 shots from his semi-automatic weapons at Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch on the country's South Island.

The gunman live-streamed the mass shooting inside the Al Noor Mosque, which happened about 1.30pm (11.30am AEDT) as Friday prayers were underway.

A video seen by Daily Mail Australia shows the man firing multiple shots at dozens of people as they try to flee. A suspect is in custody but it is unclear whether it is the gunman.
People were also reportedly shot at the nearby Linwood Masjid mosque.
There are also reports of another shooting outside Christchurch Hospital and that a bomb was found in a car three kilometres from the mosque.
Police have urged people near the area to stay indoors and report suspicious behaviour, describing the incident as 'critical'.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the attacks were 'one of New Zealand's darkest days'.
'My thoughts, and I'm sure the thoughts of all New Zealanders, are with those who have been affected, and also with their families,' she said.

In the shooter's manifesto shared to Twitter he mentions being inspired by other shooters including Anders Breivik who killed 77 people in Oslo, Norway in 2011.

He said he 'disliked' Muslims and hated those who had converted to the religion, calling them 'blood traitors'.

Alleged New Zealand Mosque Mass Shooter’s Manifesto Praises Donald Trump As ‘Symbol Of Renewed White Identity’

A man who opened fire at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, causing multiple fatalities, also says that prominent Donald Trump supporter Candace Owens inspired him.

https://www.inquisitr.com/5343540/ne...ens-manifesto/

“The person that has influenced me above all was Candace Owens,” the suspect wrote. “Each time she spoke I was stunned by her insights and her own views helped push me further and further into the belief of violence over meekness. Though I will have to disavow some of her beliefs, the extreme actions she calls for are too much, even for my tastes.”

Another False Flag.

Suspicion or have some credible reporting source?

Similar claims were made by some about Norway terror attacks that reportedly inspired this shooter but much of MSM had not confirmed such claims.

It's a prediction, the shooting was an excellent distraction from the events in Israel and Gaza though.

 

[phill4paul]

Couldn't have happened. NZ has adopted very strict gun legislation.

Edit: Correction. Nz's fire arms laws are not draconian. I was thinking of Australia. Mea Culpa.

yah, 27 they are saying now. Yeah, its a real event--I saw it too. I read this lunatic's manifesto wherein he says that The Peoples Republic of China is closest to his political beliefs. Calls himself an eco-fascist. Goes on about replacement, and the grooming gangs in England. Plans to use his trial to further politicize this. Oh yeah, one of his stated goals was to start a civil war in the United States around the 2nd amendment.

If NZ didn't have draconian gun laws today, they will very shortly. I wonder how ugly this is going to after the retaliations begin. I hope they don't.

I don't think so. If it were a false flag, why would he call the People's Republic of China the government that is most aligned with his thoughts. Why would he openly state: I chose to use guns to carry out this attack in order to provoke a civil war in the United States? Or is that a false-false-flag double op?

Im not posting that shit here, but you can find it and read it. I don't suggest that you do, lest you get paranoid...

50+ dead...

 

[Swordsmyth]

I don't think so. Bud, this is where that fear that haunts you can lead people.

LOL
Every single one of these attacks has been a False Flag, this is no way to advance the cause, it is a way to set it back and that is exactly what someone is trying to do.

If it were a false flag, why would he call the People's Republic of China the government that is most aligned with his thoughts.

Because everyone in the western world knows that the PRC is a horrible system of government and therefore it will make people dislike everything else he claims to want.

Why would he openly state: I chose to use guns to carry out this attack in order to provoke a civil war in the United States? Or is that a false-false-flag double op?

To sound dangerous and insane, and get people to support gun control and a crackdown on conservatives.


You are apparently the exact type of simple mind these False Flags are designed to manipulate, or you are here to help the psy-op on purpose.

I deleted that bit about you and fear, wasn't fair and quite dangerous right now. Not every fucked up thing that happens in the world is a false flag. When you go bruiting about them, in situations like these, you denude the term.

Brenton Tarrant: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know


1. Brenton Tarrant Describes Himself as “Just a Ordinary White Man” Who “Decided to Take a Stand”

Part of the Brenton Tarrant manifesto.


2. Police Confirmed They Were Dealing With a ‘Serious & Evolving Situation With an Active Shooter’ & the Shooter’s Manifesto Rants About the ‘Decay’ of Europe

Part of his manifesto contains a passage headlined “to conservatives.”
“Conservatism is dead. Thank Fod. Now let us bury it and move on to something of worth,” he wrote. Another section was headlined “to Christians.” He wrote, “Let our lives be stronger than death to fight against the enemies of the Christian people.”
Another passage was headlined “to Antifa/Marxists/Communists.” He explained, “I do not want to convert you…I want you in my sights. I want your neck under my boot.”
The manifesto refers to Turks as “roaches” and orders them to “flee to your own lands, while you still have the chance.” He claimed that European men “are to blame. Weak men have created this situation and strong men are needed to fix it.”
He trashes “suicidal, nihilistic and degenerate pop icons produced from a dead culture,” mentioning Michael Jackson, Madonna, Kurt Cobain, and Freddy Mercury.


3. The Twitter Account in Brenton Tarrant’s Name Shows Other Mass Shooters’ Names on Weaponry & Discusses Previous Attacks

He shared a video that references Charlottesville.

The writings on Twitter also mention Sebastiano Venier, who was a 1500s era commander in a Christian battle that defeated the Turks at the Battle of Lepanto. Sam Clarke, a reporter with TVNZ, told Al Jazeera that the gunman had a machine gun.




4. The Gunman Was Wearing a Helmet & Military Style Jacket, Reports Say & Witnesses Gave Harrowing Accounts

Tarrant tweet

Witnesses told RadioNZ that the shooter entered during afternoon prayers and was wearing “a helmet and glasses and a military style jacket.” Another witness told Stuff the gunman used up two magazines and described that there were “bodies all over me.”


5. A Witness Heard People Yelling for Help & Others Ran

https://heavy.com/news/2019/03/brenton-tarrant/







Edit to add:
If this reporting is factual, there are some striking similarities in the wording and messaging of the NZ mosque shooter and PA Synagogue shooter few months back ; common perceptions of foreign invasion, White race being under attack with key distinctions of perceived threat sources (muslim vs jewish communities) and very different views about US political situation.
