Christchurch Massacre: Yes, It’s Terrorism, Yes, It’s Tragic—and Yes, Elites Could Halt It, By Halting Immigration. But They Won’t.

I usually react strongly against the idea that any of the repeated Muslim mass murders in the West is a “tragedy,” as General George Casey notoriously described the Fort Hood shooting—they’re ATROCITIES, dammit. And I’m skeptical of Main Stream Media’s attempts to brand killings by whites as “terrorism”—it’s a usually just a ploy to call in draconian anti-terror statutes to suppress political dissent, as with the crazed iconoclasm directed at Confederate memorials that followed the (very minimally-connected) Dylann Roof shooting. However, the Christchurch NZ massacre is different. Although apparently the act of an individual, it was terrorism, in the sense that the alleged perpetrator, Brenton Tarrant, consciously used the what Leftists used to extoll as “propaganda of the deed” to achieve a specific political goal. And it is a tragedy, in the sense that it was predictable and preventable, but no-one listened. The good news: massacres like this, and the Muslim atrocities that apparently provoked Tarrant, are still preventable—by ending mass Third World immigration. The bad news: Western elites just won’t do it. They prefer repressing the white host nations. But it won’t work.
In a peculiarly religious act of anathematization, Tarrant’s manifesto seems to have been largely scrubbed from the internet. This in itself shows how completely Cultural Marxist totalitarianism has displaced classical liberalism in Western elite ideology—none of this Brandeis-type nonsense about sunlight being the best disinfectant. Of course, VDARE.com will respect this taboo: we have enough problems with deplatforming as it is. But it’s ironic that the paradoxical effect of this censorship can only be to increase traffic to Andrew Anglin’s crypto-Nazi Daily Stormer website, where the both the manifesto and the shooting video are permanently archived.
Across the world, response to these atrocities has become boringly ritualized:
(1) extreme public displays of emotion, breast-beating, weeping and wailing, marches etc.;
(2) everyone goes back to their agendas.
In the case of 9/11, this meant making the Middle East safe for Israel by invading Iraq, the exact equivalent of responding to Pearl Harbor by invading China; and continuing to Elect A New People in the U.S.—including, incredibly, importing more Muslims. In the case of Christchurch, it apparently means imposing gun control on a country where widespread gun ownership has long been combined with the commendably low murder rate characteristic of white societies.
Ironically, Brenton Tarrant anticipated this in his manifesto. He pointed out that he could have used many other methods including “vehicular attacks” (as for example in the much larger 2016 Muslim massacre in Nice, France—and, significantly, the 2017 Immigrant Mass Murder in Stockholm, Sweden, which claimed the life of 11-year old Ebba Akerlund, of whom Tarrant writes “the indignity of her violent demise and my inability to stop it broke through my own jaded cynicism like a sledgehammer”).
