The El Paso Shooter (2019) and John Brown (1859)
Remnant Review
The Left is appalled by the El Paso shooter. The Left ignores what ought to be obvious: the strategy of the El Paso shooter was also the strategy of John Brown, hero and patron saint of the Left in the United States.
This becomes clear from a reading of the manifesto posted by the shooter.
I am offering this analysis as a challenge to the hoped-for ban on such analyses by the mainstream media. We are told by professional journalists that journalists must not quote these manifestos verbatim. This appears on Journalist's Resource. "To help journalists better understand issues around white supremacy and right-wing extremism, Journalist’s Resource interviewed two experts in the field. We collaborated with Joan Donovan, director of the Technology and Social Change Research Project at Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center on Media Politics and Public Policy, which also operates Journalist’s Resource." You can read the ten rules of journalist suppression here. Crucial is #7: "If you must cover the statements of far-right extremists, always paraphrase."
The next day, Wired praised sites for not quoting the El Paso shooter's manifesto. "Already there are signs that the media has gotten more savvy. While several news sites have quoted the manifesto verbatim, they have done so in brief snippets. Very few outlets seem to have linked to it directly."
The #1 deviant, predictably, was Matt Drudge. Drudge posted a link to the manifesto immediately. It is his version that I am quoting. I am going to quote every word.
I have posted a PDF version of my attempt to break up this manifesto into paragraphs. I did this by looking at the original post and seeing where periods ending a sentence were followed by a lot of space, followed by a new paragraph at the left-hand-side of the page. It is posted here.
In what follows, his statements are indented. Mine are not.
The Inconvenient Truth About MeIn general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto.
The Christchurch, New Zealand massacre took place in in March 2019. A shooter killed 49 Muslims at two Mosques. The alleged shooter was an anti-Muslim Australian. He also posted a manifesto. It is not visible. Why not? Because on March 23, the manifesto was deemed "objectionable" by the Chief Censor of New Zealand, making it unlawful to possess or distribute it in New Zealand. This is the liberal intellectuals' party line. I had to do a detailed search to locate a copy. It is here. It is titled The Great Replacement.
This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. They are the instigators, not me. I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion.
He shifts blame for mass murder to third parties. He is clearly self-conscious about the immorality of what he was planning to do. "Blame them, not me!" He has adopted the liberals' version of guilt: social, not personal.
Some people will think this statement is hypocritical because of the nearly complete ethnic and cultural destruction brought to the Native Americans by our European ancestors, but this just reinforces my point. The natives didn’t take the invasion of Europeans seriously, and now what’s left is just a shadow of what was. My motives for this attack are not at all personal. Actually the Hispanic community was not my target before I read The Great Replacement. This manifesto will cover the political and economic reasons behind the attack, my gear, my expectations of what response this will generate and my personal motivations and thoughts.
If you want the origin of this thinking, go back to John Brown. He began in 1856 by murdering family members in their home at Pottawatomie Creek, Kansas. Then, when he and his sons got away with this mass murder, he escalated the violence. In 1859, he and his sons attacked the U.S. government's arsenal at Harpers Ferry, killing one innocent black man, as a way to mobilize slaves to revolt. He believed in armed revolt as a way to regenerate America. His program involved weapons, political rhetoric, and a grand symbolic suicidal act.
So does the El Paso shooter's program.
Political Reasons
In short, America is rotting from the inside out, and peaceful means to stop this seem to be nearly impossible. The inconvenient truth is that our leaders, both Democrat AND Republican, have been failing us for decades. They are either complacent or involved in one of the biggest betrayals of the American public in our history. The takeover of the United States government by unchecked corporations. I could write a ten page essay on all the damage these corporations have caused, but here is what is important. Due to the death of the baby boomers, the increasingly anti-immigrant rhetoric of the right and the ever increasing Hispanic population, America will soon become a one party-state. The Democrat party will own America and they know it. They have already begun the transition by pandering heavily to the Hispanic voting bloc in the 1st Democratic Debate. They intend to use open borders, free healthcare for illegals, citizenship and more to enact a political coup by importing and then legalizing millions of new voters.
The Democrats had the votes to do this in 2009-11. They enacted none of this.
With policies like these, the Hispanic support for Democrats will likely become nearly unanimous in the future. The heavy Hispanic population in Texas will make us a Democrat stronghold. Losing Texas and a few other states with heavy Hispanic population to the Democrats is all it would take for them to win nearly every presidential election. Although the Republican Party is also terrible. Many factions within the Republican Party are pro-corporation. Pro-corporation = pro-immigration. But some factions within the Republican Party don’t prioritize corporations over our future. So the Democrats are nearly unanimous with their support of immigration while the Republicans are divided over it. At least with Republicans, the process of mass immigration and citizenship can be greatly reduced.
He sees national sin as political. But he had lost hope in political solutions. So had John Brown.
Economic ReasonsIn short, immigration can only be detrimental to the future of America. Continued immigration will make one of the biggest issues of our time, automation, so much worse. Some sources say that in under two decades, half of American jobs will be lost to it. Of course some people will be retrained, but most will not.
There is no clear evidence for any of this. For every negative prediction there is a counter-prediction based on the free market's system of price and wage competition. No one is sure of this scenario. In any case, the looming automation has nothing to do with illegal immigrants.
So it makes no sense to keep on letting millions of illegal or legal immigrants flood into the United States, and to keep the tens of millions that are already here. Invaders who also have close to the highest birthrate of all ethnicities in America. In the near future, America will have to initiate a basic universal income to prevent widespread poverty and civil unrest as people lose their jobs.
Andrew Yang (who?) has proposed this. No other Democrat candidate for President has offered anything specific.
Joblessness in itself is a source of civil unrest. The less dependents on a government welfare system, the better. The lower the unemployment rate, the better. Achieving ambitions social projects like universal healthcare and UBI would become far more likely to succeed if tens of millions of dependents are removed.
Where is there evidence of joblessness as a source of civil unrest? Where do unemployed people riot? Not in the United States.
Even though new migrants do the dirty work, their kids typically don’t. They want to live the American Dream which is why they get college degrees and fill higher-paying skilled positions. This is why corporations lobby for even more illegal immigration even after decades of it of happening. They need to keep replenishing the low-skilled labor pool. Even as migrant children flood skilled jobs, Corporations make this worse by lobbying for even more work visas to be issued for skilled foreign workers to come here. Recently, the senate under a REPUBLICAN administration has greatly increased the number of foreign workers that will take American jobs. Remember that both Democrats and Republicans support immigration and work visas. Corporations need to keep replenishing the labor pool for both skilled and unskilled jobs to keep wages down. So Automation is a good thing as it will eliminate the need for new migrants to fill unskilled jobs. Jobs that American s can’t survive on anyway. Automation can and would replace millions of low-skilled jobs if immigrants were deported. This source of competition for skilled labor from immigrants and visa holders around the world has made a very difficult situation even worse for natives as they compete in the skilled job market. To compete, people have to get better credentials by spending more time in college. It used to be that a high school degree was worth something. Now a bachelor’s degree is what’s recommended to be competitive in the job market. The cost of college degrees has exploded as their value has plummeted.
This is the economic logic of Karl Marx: the exploitation theory. It says that corporate profits come primarily from exploiting poor laborers. There was no evidence for this in 1867, and there is no evidence for it today. Marx's thesis was demolished by Austrian economic Eugen Von Böhm-Bawerk in 1884 and again in 1896: Karl Marx and the Close of His System. Profits come from the successful prediction of the future and efficient planning to meet that future. This was the conclusion of Chicago School economist Frank H. Knight and Austrian School economist Ludwig von Mises.
This has led to a generation of indebted, overqualified students filling menial, low paying and unfulfilling jobs. Of course these migrants and their children have contributed to the problem, but are not the sole cause of it. The American lifestyle affords our citizens an incredible quality of life. However, our lifestyle is destroying the environment of our country. The decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations. Corporations are heaing [???] the destruction of our environment by shamelessly over harvesting resources. This has been a problem for decades. For example, this phenomenon is brilliantly portrayed in the decades old classic “The Lorax”. Water sheds around the country, especially in agricultural areas, are being depleted. Fresh water is being polluted from farming and oil drilling operations. Consumer culture is creating thousands of tons of unnecessary plastic waste and electronic waste, and recycling to help slow this down is almost non-existent. Urban sprawl creates inefficient cities which unnecessarily destroys millions of acres of land. We even use god knows how many trees worth of paper towels just wipe water off our hands. Everything I have seen and heard in my short life has led me to believe that the average American isn’t willing to change their lifestyle, even if the changes only cause a slight inconvenience. The government is unwilling to tackle these issues beyond empty promises since they are owned by corporations. Corporations that also like immigration because more people means a bigger market for their products. I just want to say that I love the people of this country, but god damn most of y’all are just too stubborn to change your lifestyle. So the next logical step is to decrease the number of people in America using resources. If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable.
This man is an environmentalist. He blames capitalism for the destruction of the environment. This has been the liberal party line for two generations.
Then he gets to the next stage of the John Brown agenda: weapons as the means of social redemption. This is his version of Harper's Ferry.
GearMain gun: AK47 (WASR 10) – I realized pretty quickly that this isn’t a great choice since it’s the civilian version of the ak47. It’s not designed to shoot rounds quickly, so it overheats massively after about 100 shots fired in quick succession. I’ll have to use a heat-resistant glove to get around this.
8m3 bullet: This bullet, unlike pretty much any other 7.62x39 bullet, actually fragments like a pistol hollow point when shot out of an ak47 at the cost of penetration. Penetration is still reasonable, but not nearly as high as a normal ak47 bullet. The ak47 is definitely a bad choice without this bullet design, and may still be with it.
Other gun(if I get one): Ar15 – Pretty much any variation of this gun doesn’t heat up nearly as fast as the AK47. The round of this gun isn’t designed to fragment, but instead tumbles inside a target causing lethal wounding. This gun is probably better, but I wanted to explore different options. The ar15 is probably the best gun for military applications but this isn’t a military application.
This will be a test of which is more lethal, either it’s fragmentation or tumbling.
I didn’t spend much time at all preparing for this attack. Maybe a month, probably less. I have do this before I lose my nerve. I figured that an under-prepared attack and a meh manifesto is better than no attack and no manifesto
He understands that ever since the recession of 2008, the increase in the number of Hispanics crossing the border illegally has been matched by the return of Hispanics to their home countries. He wants to speed up this process.
ReactionStatistically, millions of migrants have returned to their home countries to reunite with the family they lost contact with when they moved to America. They come here as economic immigrants, not for asylum reasons. This is an encouraging sign that the Hispanic population is willing to return to their home countries if given the right incentive. An incentive that myself and many other patriotic Americans will provide. This will remove the threat of the Hispanic voting bloc which will make up for the loss of millions of baby boomers. This will also make the elites that run corporations realize that it’s not in their interest to continue piss off Americans. Corporate America doesn’t need to be destroyed, but just shown that they are on the wrong side of history. That if they don’t bend, they will break.
He is convinced that politics is the key to history. The Hispanic voting block is the key to American history. He somehow thinks that a suicidal attack on a Walmart store, indiscriminate in terms of the racial origin of shoppers, was somehow going to reverse the trend of history, which he is convinced is demographic. He is trying to reverse the declining birth rates of whites. He thinks the demographics can somehow be reversed by indiscriminate shootings in a supermarket.
This man is messianic. He is messianic along exactly the same lines that John Brown was.
Personal Reasons and ThoughtsMy whole life I have been preparing for a future that currently doesn’t exist. The job of my dreams will likely be automated. Hispanics will take control of the local and state government of my beloved Texas, changing policy to better suit their needs. They will turn Texas into an instrument of a political coup which will hasten the destruction of our country. The environment is getting worse by the year. If you take nothing else from this document, remember this: INACTION IS A CHOICE. I can no longer bear the shame of inaction knowing that our founding fathers have endowed me with the rights needed to save our country from the brink destruction. Our European comrades don’t have the gun rights needed to repel the millions of invaders that plaque their country. They have no choice but to sit by and watch their countries burn.
America can only be destroyed from the inside-out.
If our country falls, it will be the fault of traitors. This is why I see my actions as faultless. Because this isn’t an act of imperialism but an act of preservation. America is full of hypocrites who will blast my actions as the sole result of racism and hatred of other countries, despite the extensive evidence of all the problems these invaders cause and will cause.
His actions are faultless, he assures us. He is without sin. He is a redeemer, not a murder. Again, this is straight out of John Brown's playbook.
People who are hypocrites because they support imperialistic wars that have caused the loss of tens of thousands of American lives and untold numbers of civilian lives. The argument that mass murder is okay when it is state sanctioned is absurd. Our government has killed a whole lot more people for a whole lot less. Even if other non-immigrant targets would have a greater impact, I can’t bring myself to kill my fellow Americans. Even the Americans that seem hell-bent on destroying our country. Even if they are shameless race mixers, massive polluters, haters of our collective values, etc. One day they will see error of their ways. Either when American patriots fail to reform our country and it collapses or when we save it. But they will see the error of their ways. I promise y’all that.
But he did kill his fellow Americans. If there is a place in America that is more American than Walmart, I cannot imagine what that place might be.
He calls for dividing America into race-based geographical territories. He did not say how anything but a centralized tyranny could do this. This is utopianism on a massive scale.
I am against race mixing because it destroys genetic diversity and creates identity problems. Also because it’s completely unnecessary and selfish. 2nd and 3rd generation Hispanics form interracial unions at much higher rates than average. Yet another reason to send them back. Cultural and racial diversity is largely temporary. Cultural diversity diminishes as stronger and/or more appealing cultures overtake weaker and/or undesirable ones. Racial diversity will disappear as either race mixing or genocide will take place. But the idea of deporting or murdering all non-white Americans is horrific. Many have been here at least as long as the whites, and have done as much to build our country. The best solution to this for now would be to divide America into a confederacy of territories with at least 1 territory for each race. This physical separation would nearly eliminate race mixing and improve social unity by granting each race self-determination within their respective territory(s).
He did not think he would be taken alive. He hoped for martyrdom.
My death is likely inevitable. If I’m not killed by the police, then I’ll probably be gunned down by one of the invaders. Capture in this case if far worse than dying during the shooting because I’ll get the death penalty anyway. Worse still is that I would live knowing that my family despises me. This is why I’m not going to surrender even if I run out of ammo. If I’m captured, it will be because I was subdued somehow.
But he did surrender. He got out of his car, walked over to the police unarmed, and surrendered.
He called for imitators to gun down innocent civilians.
Remember: it is not cowardly to pick low hanging fruit. AKA Don’t attack heavily guarded areas to fulfll your super soldier COD fantasy. Attack low security targets. Even though you might out gun a security guard or police man, they likely beat you in armor, training and numbers. Do not throw away your life on an unnecessarily dangerous target. If a target seems too hot, live to fight another day.
He did not invoke Trump.
My ideology has not changed for several years. My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president. I put ting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump’s rhetoric. The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that.Many people think that the fight for America is already lost. They couldn’t be more wrong. This is just the beginning of the fight for America and Europe.
I am honored to head the fight to reclaim my country from destruction.
This man is messianic. He will now get several years behind bars and lots of opportunities to spout his agenda in front of courts. This assumes that he survives behind bars. If they put himin the solitary confinement he may be able to do this. Given the makeup of Texas high security prisons, and given the intensity of Hispanic gangs, he probably will not be eligible for a low-premium ten-year-level-term insurance policy.
CONCLUSION
This man's manifesto indicates that he has done a considerable amount of reading. He is coherent in developing arguments. He is a messianic revolutionary.
John Brown was a terrorist. He was coherent in his presentations. He was also a messianic revolutionary.
This man picked up the slogans of the Left. He is an environmentalist. He blames corporations for destroying the environment.
He sees redemption in terms of violence.
There are not many people this deranged by a witch's brew combination of liberalism, racism, and messianic terrorism. But there are some. They are the price of living in a free society.
