Christchurch: The Psyop Angle

The media are ablaze with sensational reports about the terrorist attack on Muslims in New Zealand. While there's yet a great deal of information unavailable and unclear, many are calling for the heads of anyone who's white, unhappy about immigration, or in any way opposing cultural marxism, as these are the self reported motivations of the terrorist.

I had originally intended to eschew posting on this issue, as I usually do with items others are certain to cover, but I want to emphasize a subtle attack vector that is likely to be missed, unmentioned, or deliberately sidestepped by some folks. I want these matters to be out in front of the furor and discussion that are certain to ensue.

It is glaringly obvious that the Christchurch operation was intended from the outset to be a psychological operation. Tarrant published a manifesto, and connected his views to specific targets of the SJW/cultural marxist operations destroying Western civilization. His grasp of the issues is presented as nuanced and radical, accelerationist and deliberate. It is unlikely that the consequences of his terrorist assault were not considered. Rather it is certain that those consequences - not some dead victims - were his actual goal.

Since he was undeniably aware that his actions would be condemned, and any influences he could be linked to or cited in his manifesto would be tainted by association, it is obvious that he deliberately misrepresented his motivations to impugn his actual targets thereby, as well as institutions and people.

Being aware of these mechanisms and his intentional use of them obviates arguments that such misdirection is unreasonable by those seeking to opportunistically advance the terrorists actual purposes by projecting onto his targets his and their intentions.

Therefore all affiliations he asserts, institutions he claims to support, and institutions and people he points to as sources of his views are clearly NOT affiliated or supportive of his actions or views, but the actual TARGETS of the psychological operation he was part of.

Unless your desire is to support such duplicitous psyops, terrorism, and the harm caused good people with such tactics, it is critical that acknowledgement of his real motivations is part of the conversations and discussions undertaken regarding this attack, and these issues.

As is usual, various actors are going to attempt to spin this event in every way conceivable. Given the demonstrable facts I here treat, any such spin that fails to acknowledge these aspects of the event are either duplicity, or stupidity. Should you have some mitigating theory or information, I'd be quite interested in hearing it.

I am confident this is going to result in extremely tyrannical and oppressive lawfare to suppress free speech, independent journalists, and institutions that support them. Everyone that cherishes their freedom needs to be prepared to defend that freedom from all enemies, any and every form of attack, and never give an inch to those that will erode that essential and factual liberty our, and our children's felicity and prosperity utterly depend on.
