Australian white nationalist group tried to recruit alleged Christchurch gunman - report | Newshub newshub.co.nz/home/world/201…
1) The grp is 'The Lads Society' (TLS), a fascist cadre org est by ex-United Patriots Front (UPF) members Tom Sewell, Blair Cottrell & James Buckle (among others); TLS is in essence what UPF became after @Facebook unpublished the group's page in MAY 2017. #auspol #FCKNZS
2) UPF after Reclaim Australia/UPF rally, NOV 2015. L to R : Sewell, Linden Watson, Cottrell, Chris Shortis (Australia First Party), James Buckle. All remain politically active. (In MAR 2019, LW painted over #eggboy mural in Hosier Lane, Melbourne.) #Christchurch
3) On Shortis, see : smh.com.au/national/gunto…. (After some legal stoushes w licensing authority, Shortis eventually lost his gun licence.)
4) TLS opened its Melbourne social centre in late 2017 in Cheltenham (it closed some months ago). Among other things, the centre hosted meetings to discuss the formation of anti-African vigilante squads, which media described as a kind of 'Neighbourhood Watch'. (No rlly.)
5) Sewell was born in NZ & is ex-military; Buckle is the former President of gun lobby grp 'Firearm Owners United' & a strong advocate for winding-back gun control legislation in AUS; Cottrell has a violent criminal record for arson & stalking. See : theguardian.com/australia-news….
6) TLS has brought together others w military training &/or who work in the security industry, who are armed, & who advocate antisemitism, Islamophobia, racial war, white power & white supremacy.
7) There's an overlap of membership w neo-#Nazi groupuscule 'Antipodean Resistance' -- which has publicly called for the slaughter of Jews, gays, Muslims & leftists -- along w other neo-Nazi grouplets such as 'Combat 18'. See : independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n….

'This marks you': Christchurch shooter sent death threat two years ago abc.net.au/news/2019-04-1… via @ABCNews
#antifa #auspol #Christchurch #FCKNZS

'The man said he attracted Tarrant's ire after criticizing former UPF leader and neo-Nazi Blair Cottrell ahead of the rally in Eltham.'

A rally organised by TBC & Co., who wanted Syrian refugee families out (FOWF).

Around the same time (DEC 2016), the Christchurch killer's "Emperor" Cottrell was also invoking 'The Day of The Rope' -- a term popularised by US neo-#Nazi William Pierce in his 1978 novel 'The Turner Diaries' (which also inspired Timothy McVeigh).

1) Gah. OK. Here's a thread on the Australian neo-#Nazi groupuscule (see Roger Griffin, 'From slime mould to rhizome: an introduction to the groupuscular right', @POP_Jrnl, Vol.37, No.1, 2003) Antipodean Resistance ...

2) First, a coupla general obs. This disclaimer in James Hearnes' analysis of 'Siege' is worthwhile, but its application is not straightfwd, & raises a no of difficult issues.
3) In general, if I document nazi agitprop, it's typically w a view to using this material to actually identify those responsible for its production & distribution. So: Antipodean Resistance (AR) has developed a media strategy predicated on attracting attn, & its use of >

1) On his @YouTube channel, neo-#Nazi Shermon Burgess (of Kiwi descent) describes himself as "the 1st Australian to ever bring the Nationalist street movement Reclaim Australia into the mainstream public." #antifa #auspol #NewZealandTerroristAttack
2) Burgess, who also once described himself as 'The Great Aussie Patriot', got his start in the 'Australian Defence League', but over the course of the last few years -- & esp following the decline of #ReclaimAustralia -- has, like many others, openly embraced neo-Nazism.
3) Like Christchurch killer, Burgess adopted Black Sun/Sonnenrad as symbol; like other Aussie nazis, foll the massacre, he's sought to scrub this fact from his online profiles, but conts to fulminate vs Muslims &c -- one of thousands of such accts @YouTube sponsors.

At this point their playbook is textbook.
— Visit or training in affected area
— Something happens just in time to distract
— The something is used to promote narrative
— Since they always go too far and leave clues, anons find out & expose them
— They move on to the next one

Horrific. My thoughts are with the people of #Christchurch, especially the victims and their loved ones.

‘I saw dead people everywhere’: multiple casualties in mass shooting at a New Zealand mosque, reports of gunfire at a second mosque and a hospital thedailybeast.com/christchurch-m…
This is pure evil: the #Christchurch gunman filmed the mosque massacres with a helmet cam & posted it to social media.

In his manifesto (linked from 8chan), he identified himself as a 28-year-old man born in Australia & listed his white nationalist heroes

"[The #Christchurch gunman] described what he said had motivated him to carry out the attack, and said he had purposely used guns to stir discord in the United States over the Second Amendment’s provision on the right to bear arms."

Rollercoaster narrative arc of these social media events is changing too fast. A new issue will exist next week but targeting individuals in the #CovingtonCatholic video is part of a societal problem we see with the Internet & doxing a kid doesn’t educate, it polarizes hate. 1/
Instead, target the root of these conflict problems - why not use balanced guidance & unbiased education to move cultures & ideology closer together, not further apart. These kids are mocking #Indigenous traditional voice - that’s a racist thing to do. 2/
Whatever your view, start with the school sending kids to a ProLife march. You can’t argue that sending 100 young men to attend a rally to dictate how women choose to use their body isn’t inflammatory & structured in a patriarchal view of the world. Things are going to occur. 3/

How Bizarre
