Australian prime minister Scott Morrison said one of the suspects was an Australian-born citizen and called it a “rightwing extremist attack”.

How queer for the PM to jump the gun like that.

Christchurch New Zealand is a CESS POOL of Sharia Law and Muslim Brotherhood.

Muslim Brotherhood controls the government and police.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS FAKE NEWS STORY.

IF YOU GOOGLE PAST THE CURRENT EVENT HEADLINES YOU WILL LEARN THE TRUTH.

Christchurch New Zealand is a CESS POOL of Sharia Law and Muslim Brotherhood.

Ironic given the name of the town.

The American Muslim civil rights group Muslim Advocates has released this statement:

“Over the past few years, there has been an epidemic of attacks and planned attacks on Muslim communities and mosques across the United States...the American Muslim community has faced deadly attacks in recent years, but rarely have we witnessed such brutal carnage as today’s tragedy in New Zealand.”

Oh, give the stupid conspiracy theories a rest.

Why do people insist on putting cats and dogs in the same cage??

Thought for sure that Mueller report would drop today.

[NImerc]

Not a conspiracy theory.. just seriously wondering if it would be delayed in the even it was going to be turned in.

[Kazan]

CNN will blame Trump for this.

[Long Jon No Silver]

Morrison is just getting ahead of the inevitable media frenzy that tries to link this terrible event to ordinary conservatives. His coalition is behind in the polls. The junior member of the coalition government, the Nationals is trying to put out fires in its party led by former deputy PM Barnaby Joyce ( who incidentally had to resign from parliament at one stage due to being ruled ineligible under the constitution to hold have a seat in federal Parliament due to holding dual New Zealand citizenship). So Morrison is between a rock and a hard place. Damned if he does. Damned if he doesn’t

Too lazy to google?

AP is reporting 4 suspects arrested, only identified one as Aussie - the 94 page (seriously?) guy. When will they release the names of the other three? Are there more than 4?

This earlier bit of yellow journalist crap “cited Trump”.

But it becomes apparent that the goal was a Manson-like “plot” to create a race war on false premise.

Christchurch mosque shootings – Trump-supporting ‘Brit’ gunman wrote chilling manifesto
The [UK] Sun ^ | 03-15-2019 | Jenny Awford

The white-supremacist shooter, 28, who was born in Australia, said he wanted to take revenge for the “thousands of European lives lost to terror attacks”.

He boasted that he chose to use firearms so he could influence politics in the US.

“Finally, to create conflict between the two ideologies within the United States on the ownership of firearms in order to further the social, cultural, political and racial divide within the United states,” he wrote.

“This conflict over the 2nd amendment and the attempted removal of firearms rights will ultimately result in a civil war that will eventually balkanize the US along political, cultural and, most importantly, racial lines.”

Not at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory

A conspiracy theory is the fear of a nonexistent conspirac or the unnecessary assumption of conspiracy when other explanations are more probable. Evidence showing it to be false, or the absence of proof of the conspiracy, is interpreted by believers as evidence of its truth, thus insulating it from refutation.

According to the political scientist Michael Barkun, conspiracy theories rely on the view that the universe is governed by design, and embody three principles: nothing happens by accident, nothing is as it seems, and everything is connected. Another common feature is that conspiracy theories evolve to incorporate whatever evidence exists against them, so that they become, as Barkun writes, a closed system that is unfalsifiable, and therefore "a matter of faith rather than proof". On a psychological level, studies show Machiavellianism and paranoia are highly correlated with conspiratorial thinking.

2pm or later if at all. Friday document dump. Slip it to the press first. Kick it out there after Rush goes off the air.

Inevitable.
Resistance or submission.

The guy’s manifesto had 90% leftwing class steuggle content and 10% nearly cosmetic demands of “racial independence”.

This was a statist whose manifesto was nearly that of antifa’s.
