It's been a couple weeks or so since the Aurora Illinois mass shooting and another incident where a Coast Guard member was allegedly caught before he had an opportunity to carry out another one that they claim might have been even worse, and a year since the Parkland shooting; but, if you search for a lower profile mass shooting on any given day it's pretty much guaranteed you'll find a new one. Vox has recently reported that mass shootings, which they define as a shooting where four or more people are shot, whether they're killed or not happens almost once every day, on average.
Yet there's little or no effort, at least in the mass media or political debate, to find out what's causing all these shootings or why it's so much more common in this country than in many other developed countries, especially some of the European countries that do a better job providing child care, education and ban corporal punishment both in schools and at home, and have murder rates less than 1 per 100,000 while our national rate is usually over 5; it dipped down bellow five from 2010 to 2015, before climbing back up to 5.4 in 2016 and 5.3 in 2017, which means that after hitting a historical low rate the total number of murder rose back up by about 3,000. Yet there's no public debate about why, except obsessive discussion about gun control almost as if that's the only potential contributing factor.
As I've said in previous articles, reasonable gun control is almost certainly a part of the solution but there's little or no chance that it's the only part; and it's highly unlikely that it's the most important part of the solution, based on an enormous amount of research that the media simply declines to report on.
We do have plenty of research available to show what many of the leading causes of violence, including mass shootings, are; however the media practically never mentions this research, nor do political candidates discuss it or base policy decision on it. One of the most important contributing factor, if not the most important one is early child abuse, including corporal punishment leading to escalating violence later in life, which I went into more in Research On Preventing Violence Absent From National Media. The evidence showing this is a major contributing factor is overwhelming, with murder rates in states that still allow corporal punishment in schools being 22% to 31% higher than those no longer allowing it for the last ten to eleven years, and at least 2.26% higher going back twenty seven years, with it getting much closer a few years after about a dozen states banned corporal punishment, but before it had much chance to have a long term impact.
Between 1988 and 1994 nineteen states banned corporal punishment in schools, and it has been dropping steadily in the home since Benjamin Spock and several other good child rearing experts began recommending alternative methods, shortly after World War II. During the nineties the murder rates around the country plummeted almost in half, before dropping at a slower rate for another thirteen or fourteen years before reaching it's all time low in 2013-4.
Additional major contributing factors which were also listed in the same article with links to additional sources include poverty, income inequality, lack of education, gambling, insurance which also contributes to poverty since it's often based on misleading sales pitches, and military hazing to teach cadets to blindly obey orders, in wars based on lies. There should be no doubt that epidemic levels of corporate fraud is a major contributing cause, since it contributes, either directly or indirectly, to most if not all of these factors.
There should also be no doubt that refusing to address the social needs of the majority of the public while catering to the interests of of campaign donors making a massive amount of money off of epidemic levels of fraud. However, even if some people do doubt this there's even more evidence to support it, but the media doesn't cover that, any more than it covers any of the other contributing factors of violence.
Ignoring these problems is a major part of the reason why we have more mass shootings than other developed countries; and fighting wars based on lies, while shipping jobs overseas to pressures wages and other corporate scams adds to it making them more likely. And when there are legitimate protests to try to address these problems they're often suppressed, while the media misrepresents them only leading to more poverty and desperation including some that strike out violently, usually in the wrong direction.
 |
| The vast majority of mass shooters probably have emotional problems and may not be able to express legitimate concerns rationally; however there are some exceptions, although they respond to them the wrong way. |
By outsourcing thousands if not millions of jobs over decades they've been driving down wages for the vast majority of the public so they can increase profits for a small percentage; and there's no doubt that this has driven a lot of people into desperate situations, including Gary Martin who recently went on a shooting spree in Aurora. I have no doubt that he had additional violent tendencies, but some of these are also caused partly by declining to education the public about how early abuse or lack of educational and economic opportunities leads to escalating violence.
As I pointed out in Cause and Effect of Hatred early child abuse is also a major factor in promoting racism or shootings like Christopher Paul Hasson allegedly planned, yet this isn't discussed as a potential contributing cause by the mass media even though there are plenty of good scholars available providing research to show it's a major factor.
Additional research also shows that union busting is a major contributing factor of workplace violence as I pointed out in Union Busting adds to corrupt bureaucracy and incites crime, citing Marty Jay Levitt, a former union busting consultant who wrote a book about the tactics he previously used and how they often contributed to violence, including in the coal mining industry; and it also cites major problems at Walmart where many of their employees have also gone on shooting sprees, often partly because of a hostile work environment, partly resulting from their union busting practices.
Eric Schlosser provided additional research showing that the hostile environment in the fast food industry is a contributing factor when it comes to violent robberies, often by former disgruntled employees who are more likely to rob their employers, or former employers, after being treated badly, even leading to armed robberies and murders. At the time he wrote his book in 2001 he claimed there were about four or five fast food employees murdered on the job every month, often by other employees; more recent studies indicate that the death rate is much higher, although most of them are for other reasons, with murder possibly going down since then. However as indicated in the following excerpt, when fast food industries were faced with regulations designed to protect their employees they lobbied heavily to prevent them, refusing to consider that their oppressive working conditions might be a contributing factor:
Eric Schlosser "Fast Food Nation" 2001 p.83-5
The same demographic groups widely employed at fast food restaurants — the young and the poor — are also responsible for much of the nation's violent crime. According to industry studies, about two-thirds of the robberies at fast food restaurants involve current or former employees. The combination of low pay, high turnover, and ample cash in the restaurant often leads to crime. A 1999 survey by the National Food Service Security Council, a group funded by the large chains, found that about half of all restaurant workers engaged in some form of cash or property theft — not including the theft of food. The typical employee stole about $218 a year; new employees stole almost $100 more. Studies conducted by Jerald Greenberg, a professor of management at the University of Ohio and an expert on workplace crime, have found that when people are treated with dignity and respect, they’re less likely to steal from their employer. “It may be common sense,” Greenberg says, “but it’s obviously not common practice.” The same anger that causes most petty theft, the same desire to strike back at an employer perceived as unfair, can escalate to armed robbery. Restaurant managers are usually, but not always, the victims of fast food crimes. Not long ago, the day manager of a McDonald’s in Moorpark, California, recognized the masked gunman emptying the safe. It was the night manager.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) attempted in the mid-1990s to issue guidelines for preventing violence at restaurants and stores that do business at night. OSHA was prompted, among other things, by the fact that homicide had become the leading cause of workplace fatalities among women. The proposed guidelines were entirely voluntary and seemed innocuous. OSHA recommended, for example, that late-night retailers improve visibility within their stores and make sure their parking lots were well lit. The National Restaurant Association, along with other industry groups, responded by enlisting more than one hundred congressmen to oppose any OSHA guidelines on retail violence. An investigation by the Los Angeles Times found that many of the congressmen had recently accepted donations from the NRA and the National Association of Convenience Stores. “Who would oppose putting out guidelines on saving women’s lives in the workplace?” Joseph Dear, a former head of OSHA, said to a Times reporter. “The companies that employ those women.”
The restaurant industry has continued to fight not only guidelines on workplace violence, but any enforcement of OSHA regulations. At a 1997 restaurant industry “summit” on violence, executives representing the major chains argued that OSHA guidelines could be used by plaintiffs in lawsuits stemming from a crime, that guidelines were completely unnecessary, and that there was no need to supply the government with “potentially damaging” robbery statistics. The group concluded that OSHA should become just an information clearing house without any authority to impose fines or compel security measures. Complete article

As I said most of these disgruntled employees almost certainly don't express their grievances very well, and even if they do killing former co-workers, even if some of them are management they may have previously had legitimate complaints against, clearly isn't the best way to address the issues; however when the vast majority of people do a far better job expressing legitimate grievances, management routinely dismisses them and police or politicians rarely ever help much either. Police routinely arrest protesters for many reasons, including workers rights protesters as well as environmentalists, antiwar protesters, and many other protesters, even though they often have legitimate concerns which politicians don't address and the media doesn't report on adequately.
While most mass murderers require in depth research into their background before almost always, if not always as Dorothy Otnow Lewis claims, finding early abuse that taught long term violent behavior and caused emotional problems, a few of them managed to write out some legitimate grievances, even if the media declined to cover them adequately including Joseph Andrew Stack (who only killed on person besides himself), Christopher Jordan Dorner, and Gavin Eugene Long, who all left behind what were described as manifestos, which has a negative stereotype after demonizing the Communist Manifesto for generations without reviewing it honestly.
When the media does mention these at all they often refer to them as "insane" or "rambling" or some other negative term without trying to figure out whether or not there was a legitimate concern; however they're often made public, and in some cases people that are being oppressed by a corrupt economic system see right through this, and in at least a few cases they've influenced additional mass murderers, including Gavin Eugene Long who adopted a few phrases from Christopher Dorner's manifesto in his own.
A lot of these complaints are legitimate complaints, even if the manifestos sometimes include rambling that might be expected from people that aren't trained writers, which would include me, and if they went to extremes that aren't justified, even with legitimate grievances.
You would think the simple solution would be to address legitimate concerns when we have peaceful protests or allow a rational debate at discussion forums where all views are welcome; however this isn't done; instead the oligarchies control over ninety percent of the media and they hire an army of pundits to spin incredibly bad excuses why we can't address legitimate concerns while the media only covers candidates pretending to bring "Hope" and "Change" during the campaign before selling out to the same Wall Street interests after being elected.
Joseph Stack was right about the health care system being rigged for the wealthy and the government bailing out the rich after they caused the economic crisis of 2008. Barack Obama, who promised to put on a "pair of comfortable shoes" and march with protesters as president hired plenty of lobbyist breaking another promise he made instead and bailed out the banks allowing them to give massive bonuses to the people causing the crash, while refusing to instruct his attorney general, Eric Holder to prosecute the banks for their robo-signing fraud, or many other scams carried out by financial institutions, before Holder resigned going back to the same law firm representing these people he didn't prosecute for their fraud, and much more!
Christopher Jordan Dorner, Micah Xavier Johnson, and Gavin Eugene Long, were all trained by the government to allegedly protect us; however the wars we constantly fight are almost always based on lies, including Iraq where there were no weapons of mass destruction, and even Afghanistan, which if you accept the official version of 9/11 it was retaliation for fighting past wars based on lies and arming the mujaheddin which later became Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
Christopher Dorner seemed to believe the rhetoric about "Honor" and "Integrity" they teach in the military during their indoctrination process that's enforced with intimidation tactics and hazing, yet when he joined the police force he encountered plenty of corruption which he spoke out about and was presumably fired for doing so. This of course, puts police propagandists in an awkward position; since, if he was as irrational and deceptive as they claim he was, why wouldn't they have seen it before hiring him? There's no doubt that there's an enormous amount of evidence of much more police corruption and cover-ups, making it reasonable for many people protesting police killings to assume that he was exposing some of the corruption he saw, even if he did go to extremes.
Even though Micah Xavier Johnson, and Gavin Eugene Long were never in the police force they were trained to fight warts which they must have concluded were based on lies only to come home to find that the police weren't protecting their own communities, before going on their killing sprees. Gavin Long's manifesto even acknowledged that he felt it was necessary to kill some good cops, which could be interpreted as collateral damage in military terms which he was trained in, and he made a point of saluting police that were trying to reform the system; however those entrenched in power continue to stone wall almost all reform.
In all fairness the most important reform is almost certainly not police reform, although that has to be part of it if we're going to solve this problem, but other reforms including economic fraud and cuts to education or child care that will prevent violence from escalating and making these confrontations with police necessary in the first place.
It may be easy to get angry about these people for going on shooting rampages, and assume that they're evil for the sake of evil dismissing their manifestos; but if people want to understand why it's happening and how to prevent it that's not the way to go.
This emotional hatred even leads many to demand that we don't even say their names, on the assumption that they're seeking fame, which might be a small part of it but clearly it isn't the most important issue which is why did they become so emotional unstable in the first place. This leads to perceived justification for censoring the manifestos; but this will only prevent us from understanding why it happened, and prevent us from seeing there are sometimes partial mitigating circumstances, even if it's not full justification. This only guarantees we can't solve the problem.
Even if you do accept the argument that we should ignore grievances in their manifestos, does this mean that we should also continue ignoring the same grievances when people with legitimate complaints express them the right way? Of course not, yet that's what the government has been doing for decades, which is clearly a major contributing factor.
While reviewing murder statistics, it became clear that the highest murder rates are where there's the least amount of educational or economic opportunities and they have the lowest medium income. These ghettos also have the lowest voting rates and even if they did participate in the democratic process more, without adequate education they would be less able to see through the political scams that are routine by politicians that study how to manipulate voters more than they seek to understand their best interests and try to look out for them.
there's much more research on the leading contributing causes of violence in alternative media, good non-fiction books, or academic research papers; however it's almost completely ignored by the mainstream media and in political debates. Instead we have people in wealthy communities making decisions on the economy then arranging to push them through regardless of what the majority of the public wants. Since they don't cover sincere political candidates they can't win so little or nothing is done to solve this problem and the people in the poorest areas routinely pay the highest price. One class of people does all the work; another class of people takes all the money and it's not hard to recognize this.
This is an intentional recipe for disaster!
We have research to show how to prevent these mass shootings but pundits and politicians refuse to cover it!

If you're reading this, you're no doubt asking yourself, "Why did this have to happen?" The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. .....
Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it's time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country's leaders don't see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political "representatives" (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the "terrible health care problem". It's clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don't get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in.
And justice? You've got to be kidding!
How can any rational individual explain that white elephant conundrum in the middle of our tax system and, indeed, our entire legal system? Here we have a system that is, by far, too complicated for the brightest of the master scholars to understand. Yet, it mercilessly "holds accountable" its victims, claiming that they're responsible for fully complying with laws not even the experts understand. The law "requires" a signature on the bottom of a tax filing; yet no one can say truthfully that they understand what they are signing; if that's not "duress" than what is. If this is not the measure of a totalitarian regime, nothing is. The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. ......
..... However, this is where I learned that there are two "interpretations" for every law; one for the very rich, and one for the rest of us… Oh, and the monsters are the very ones making and enforcing the laws; the inquisition is still alive and well today in this country. ......
I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn't so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. The cruel joke is that the really big chunks of shit at the top have known this all along and have been laughing, at and using this awareness against, fools like me all along. ......
The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.

Gavin Long’s Alleged Manifesto Calls Baton Rouge Shootings A “Necessary Evil” 07/20/2016
PEACE FAMILY,
I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous acts of violence. You are thinking to yourself that this is completely out of character of the MAN you knew who was always positive, encouraging, & wore a smile wherever he was seen. Yes this does seem to be out of character but I ask that you finish reading before you make that decision.
I know I will be vilified by the media & police, unfortunately, I see my action’s as a necessary evil that I do not wish to partake in, nor do I enjoy partaking in, but must partake in, in order to create substantial change within America’s police forces and Judicial system.
Right now their is a unseen & concealed war within America’s police force between Good cops & Bad cops. And the way the current system is set up, it protects all cops whether good or bad, right or wrong, instead of punishing bad cops & holding them accountable for their actions.
And when good cops do try and stand up, speak out, & point out the wrong’s & criminal acts of a bad cops they get reprimanded, harassed, blackballed or blacklisted or all of these and more. Thus creating a perpetual systematic fertile ground for bad cops to flourish, excell, & go unpunished in.
Therefore I must bring the same destruction that bad cops continue to inflict upon my people, upon bad cops as well as good cops in hopes that the good cops (which are the majority) will be able to stand together to enact justice and punishment against bad cops b/c right now the police force & current judicial system is not doing so. .....
.......
And special salute $ thank you to the brave cops that have already identified & spoke up against bad cops and racist unjust practices.
The list of good cops include but are not limited to: Officer Edwin Raymond & to the approximate 10 other officers who are coming forward against illegal practices of the NYPD targeting my people unethically.
Salute to Officer Nakia Jones Officer Joe Crystal Fellow Marine & EX-Cop MIchael Wood. Retired Captain Ray Lewis. Former Police Chief Norm Stamper.
Officer Billy Ray Fields. & Officer Frank Serpico.
And every other officer who stands up & protects & serves, and upholds their oath, even if it’s protecting the people from one of their fellow officers.
Sincerely, Love Cosmo
A sacrifice for my people, & a sacrifice for the people.

Christopher Jordan Dorner Manifesto 2013
Edit 08/22/2019: Patrick Crusius's Manifesto was also taken off line by the service providers, and it also describes some economic reasons for his shootings mixed up with his misguided bigotry. Understanding this is as important as others to learn how to prevent it, although not as important is research showing how early child abuse leads to escalating violence and racism. The following is his manifesto which I finally found on the internet:
Patrick Crusius Manifesto: The Inconvenient Truth 05/08/2019
About Me
In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. 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. 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.
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. 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. Procorporation = 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.
Economic Reasons
In 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. 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. 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.
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 Americans 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 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 heading the destruction of our environment by shamelessly overharvesting 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.

Main 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 7.62×39 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
Reaction
Statistically, 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.
Personal Reasons and Thoughts
My 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. 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.
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).
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.
Remember: it is not cowardly to pick low hanging fruit. AKA Don’t attack heavily guarded areas to fulfill 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.
My ideology has not changed for several years. My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president. I putting 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.

About Me
In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. 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. 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.
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. 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. Procorporation = 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.
Economic Reasons
In 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. 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. 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.
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.

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 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.
