The New Zealand Shooter's Manifesto and the "Grand Replant" Theory

The Australian implicated in deadly attacks on New Zealand mosques issued a racist manifesto on Twitter before releasing live footage of the attack.

The "manifesto" in which are explained the motivations of the attack was released Friday morning on a Twitter account of the same name and the same profile picture as the Facebook page having retransmitted the live attack.

Called "the great substitute", this 73-page document indicates that the author wanted to attack Muslims. The title seems to refer to a thesis of the French writer Renaud Camus on the disappearance of "European peoples", "replaced" according to him by non-European migrant populations.

This theory is gaining ground in right-wing circles.

According to Camus, the transition of a society by mbad migration generates that in a few generations, "the names of places remain the same, but people and their values ​​change completely".

He compares Europe's current mbad migration policies with "barbarian invasions" similar to those that led to "the collapse of the Western Roman Empire".

In the manifesto, the attacker states that he was born in Australia into a modest family and that he is 28 years old. According to him, the key moments of his radicalization were the failure of the far-right leader Marine Le Pen in the 2017 French elections and a bomb attack that killed five people in Stockholm in April 2017, including an 11-year-old girl.

In the same article, questions are asked "for possible questions", such as "why did you lead the attack?

His answer: "To demonstrate to the invaders that our lands will never be their lands, our lands are ours and that as long as the white man will still live, they will never conquer our lands and will never replace our people." thousands of deaths caused by foreign invaders on European land throughout history, to avenge the thousands of European victims killed by terrorist attacks throughout Europe. "

Then he asks himself, "Who do you represent?

"Millions of European peoples and other ethno-nationalist peoples want to live in peace with their own people, live on their territory, practice their own traditions and decide on the future of their species," he replies. .

The entries on the attacker's weapons visible on the record also correspond to the images posted on the Twitter account where the manifest was broadcast. This is the last tweet posted by this account before its suspension.

The pictures of the weapons with these very specific annotations were published on March 13 in this account.

In English and in several Eastern European languages, you can read the names of military history figures, including many Europeans who fought against the Ottoman forces in the 15th and 16th centuries.
