Massacre in Christchurch New Zealand (my hometown)


Good Morning friends It is tragic to wake up to these facts

Police have now confirmed 49 people dead and 48 wounded in the Christchurch Mosque shootings. Victims included small children. It appears to be the work of a white supremacist terrorist cell. Their plans were splashed over social media and the murders were live streamed on Facebook and Twitter.

New Zealand is the most peaceful country yet hate speech has been increasing on Social media for the last few years. Tragically a small terrorist cell has plotted this attack over the last 2 years. The Attack was meticulously planned yet our security service was too busy following soft left leaning journalists and had no idea this was going on with the extreme right.

If you are spreading hate speech you are probably part of this problem.
Time to give love and friendship to your neighbors and smile at strangers folks, or this horror will visit your hometown one day------and life will never be quite the same

Love and Peace to you all

ROB

A total now of 49 people have been killed – work is under way to confirm their identities as quickly as possible.

Forty-one people died at Deans Avenue Mosque, seven at the Linwood Avenue Mosque – and one person has since died in hospital.

Over 40 people are being treated for injuries at Christchurch hospital – they have all been identified and those names have been shared with members of the community.

Two of those are in critical condition and this includes a 5-year-old child who has been transported today to Starship Hospital in Auckland.

This is the only transfer that has taken place. I am advised that the hospital is coping well – there are available beds and seven acute theatres for those in need.

Pathologists from throughout the country have made themselves available, and we have additional pathologists coming in from Australia.

Three people have been arrested in relation to this event.

One Australian citizen will appear in court today charged with murder.

This individual has travelled around the world with sporadic periods of time spent in New Zealand. They were not a resident of Christchurch. In fact they were currently based in Dunedin.

Enquires are ongoing to establish whether the other two were directly involved with this incident.

The fourth person who was arrested yesterday was a member of the public who was in possession of a firearm, but with the intention of assisting police. They have since been released.

Police are working to build a picture of anyone who might be involved and all of their activities prior to this event.

None of those apprehended had a criminal history either here, or in Australia. As I said last night, they were not on any watch lists either here, or in Australia.

I want to be very clear that our intelligence community and police are focused on extremism of every kind.

Given global indicators around far right extremism, our intelligence community has been stepping up their investigations in this area.

The individual charged with murder had not come to the attention of the intelligence community nor the police for extremism.

I have asked our agencies this morning to work swiftly on assessing whether there was any activity on social media or otherwise that should have triggered a response. That work is already under way.

Today as the country grieves, we are seeking answers.

I want to speak specifically about the firearms used in this terrorist act.

I’m advised that there were five guns used by the primary perpetrator. There were two semi-automatic weapons, and two shotguns. The offender was in possession of a gun licence.

I’m advised that this was acquired of November 2017.

On several web sites that I manage, I have expressed my shock and sadness at waking up this morning to hear of the senseless, hateful and horrific tragedy in Christchurch earlier today.

No words can explain the sinister, sick, warped and deadly minds that perpetrate such deeds, and not enough words can be found to express the heart wrenching and heartfelt sympathy for those affected by this heinous crime against humanity.

My thoughts and prayers are with Rob and my muso friends at SilverwoodStudio, my family members and close friends in New Zealand, and to all peaceful law-abiding New Zealanders.

So disheartening for this kind of violence to reach New Zealand - the most peaceful of places. A few months ago when Prime Minister Ardern was in the U.S. and making the rounds of late night talk shows, I watched and thought how wonderful she is and what a loving sense of humor she has - and how amazing New Zealand seemed in comparison to the violent and hateful climate that has a strangle hold on so many Americans.

Sending all the love in the world to everyone in Christchurch and to you Rob and your beautiful Silverwood Studio .... love and tears by the gallons for what has happened.

Kia Ora Bryon, Neil, and Dolores

We have been a country that stands for equality fairness and peace----this is shattered by horrific vile hateful events.

We must hold our loved ones close, and signal that we will not stand for Hate.

Hate will get us all in the end if we do not fight for our countries to be places where no one is hated and victimized for their religion or skin color.

much love Rob

Scott-----thanks so much for your comments, As CEO here your words carry much weight. I don't want to turn this into a political debate, but you are correct. The assassin was a Trump follower, and a Self declared Christian. His manifesto was publish on FB minutes before he attacked and he recorded the attack live on FB to an audience of far right groups and individuals.

I was really hoping you would be on this thread / as Stoneman would say Much respect

Stoneman

You, more than most, understand the vile side of racism and targeted hate. Unfortunately we have been demonizing Muslims in our country since 9/11.

This event has woken our Govt and Opposition from a deep sleep----we have been importing extreme Right speakers under the guise of "freedom of speech" and have a plethora of white power gangs and skinheads, especially in Christchurch.

Three of my children live there and the gunman was rammed and captured one street away from my daughters home. The vehicle was also carrying an explosive device.

This attack was planned for 2 years, he had 5 weapons including 2 semi automatics with 30 shot magazines, 2 semi automatic shotguns and a hunting rifle
he attacked the first Mosque at prayer time and killed 40 plus then drove across town and killed 7 injured 20+ until attacked by a man armed with only a credit card machine which distracted the gunman, the gun was used by the hero to smash the windscreen on his car and he fled followed by police.

The firearms were legally obtained, he belonged to a gun club, He altered the guns with larger magazines.

We are still in shock here

Much respect to you Sir

Rob Barrer

(Has this been any part of the dialogue concerning the recent tragedy in NZ?)

https://www.nst.com.my/world/2019/03/469965/christchurch-shooter-had-enjoyed-multiple-trips-turkey-pakistan

"Tarrant also visited Turkey “multiple times and spent an extended period of time in the country“, a senior Turkish official told Reuters, without giving dates. The authorities there are now investigating his movements domestically in the wake of the shooting, added the official, who was not authorised to speak to the media and commented on condition of anonymity.

[His suspended Facebook page also showed a post from Pakistan in 2018 in which he called the country “an incredible place filled with the most earnest, kind hearted and hospitable people in the world,” according to the Herald.]

In Grafton, which holds a jacaranda festival each October, councillor Greg Clan said the city was conservative with no mosque or significant Muslim population.

“Why this particular person from Grafton had a set against Muslims I would not know,” he said. “It’s just weird, apart from being shocking.” --Reuters"

For all of our accomplishments we still fall to petty hate. Its so sad the the media glorifies these acts which only inspires more to follow the pattern. The internet which could be helping to bring messages of peace but instead extremest groups use this weapon to spread there messages of hate to and even wider network of groups desperately seeking to find any and all ways possible to punish those they feel are in the wrong.

I can't really imagine what might have been going through your mind with family so near by this horror and being able to nothing but watch it unfold and hope for the best for your loved ones.

I don't have any answers on how we stop this cycle and I'm not entirely sure at this moment in time with the amount or proponents behind such acts growing everyday that it can be stopped.

In my personal opinion these lone wolfs will become more common carry out even larger scale attacks with better information and more scouting. The greatest fear about this is that since there seems to be no real defense against these type of attacks is that overtime they will learn from each other what has proven successful and possible coordinate multiple attacks at once from independent operatives.

Imagine if even 10 of these types of attacks were coordinated in major cities and all struck at once. Now imagine 20, 30 or more. The enemy grows hungrier by the day and a hungry animal is quite dangerous as it is willing to risk more to get is meal so these are willing to risk more. Imagine in the above stated case that 20 attacks were planned and only 5 got through. Then next time they will have new intelligence with which to act.

I wish there was better news in store for us but as I see this this is the tip of the ice berg. While I wish such a horrific thing never happened to your lovely peace of the world I think that message is quite clear. They are not only striking in areas that are know or prone to violence the scale of depravity has grown. They will strike at any target they feel they can accomplish there goals to instill fear and spread hate.

These are troubled times my brother in rock Rob I wish that there was something positive I could say but there is not.

New Zealand those that perished by the hand of this despicable act may they rest in peace.

Wish you and yours safety and peace.

It has taken me a while to comment on this thread because I don't know what I could add that would offer solace or hope. I feel a special kinship to Rob and his family because of a song I wrote that was a positive force in their lives and in mine. We will always be united by that bond.

I wish I could say there is a light at the end of this horrific tunnel and every fibre in my being longs to see that light but so far I don't see it. What is the next chapter in the story of life on this planet? Who can predict what it will be? But if we lose hope, we lose all reason for living. Perhaps things will get better in time but I don't foresee it in my lifetime. I do believe however that the negativity of the present will someday be replaced by a new dawn. I won't see that dawn but when it is time for me to leave this earth I won't cry. I'll be relieved that I won't have to face the darkness before the dawn. I won't see any more shootings or any more hatred. In my last moments I'll dream about a new dawn where humankind comes together at last and I will find solace in that dream because I know that those who come after me will have a better life, a better life than I lived through. In my lifetime, there was Vietnam, the murders of JFK, RFK, MLK, John Lennon, 9/11 and a lot of other nightmares. Whether or not my hope for the future will be vain - I will never know. But I'm glad that I will not live forever to see whether or not the human race gets it's act together. I can only hope that future generations will someday see the light. I don't have an abundance of optimism but I do have hope. Never lose hope.

Peace be with you, Rob and with all my brothers and sisters in Christchurch

Your friend,
Richard

Freddie 2

Yeshe was well travelled yet the info about his bit coin wealth has not been verified, he did not live in New Zealand for long periods.

more from that post excuse the repeated bits

Tarrant wrote that he used the spoils of his cryptocurrency dealings to travel in France, Spain and Portugal in 2017.

Several countries checked their records after the attacks and discovered that he had also embarked on other travels.

A few months before his Western Europe trip, in late 2016, Tarrant visited Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia, where he stopped by historic battle sites, Bulgarian Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov told Reuters.

He returned to the region in Nov 2018 to tour historic sites of Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary.

His interest showed “a very serious knowledge of Balkan history in details I would say even few people in the Balkans know,” Bulgarian Foreign Minister Elaterid Zachariah said.

Tarrant also visited Turkey “multiple times and spent an extended period of time in the country“, a senior Turkish official told Reuters, without giving dates. The authorities there are now investigating his movements domestically in the wake of the shooting, added the official, who was not authorised to speak to the media and commented on condition of anonymity."

Ken and Richard ( two of my best mates at IMP)

Thank you for your caring thoughts and expressions of humanity. It almost feels as if we have visited this space before Deja Vue----but that it is just a dream or night mare
rising from the tenuous lines we tread in this life path.Reality is growing all too real after a week of media from both sides wanting to own the story and embellish it . IS hate speech free speech? Should we be angry or forgiving? Does online media have a part to play in desensitising our young men online (My own son visits these sites that spread racist and anti woman thoughts,) and will not share his anger except online.

At the moment I have no answers but I am very angry -------hopefully time will soften my thoughts


Cheers to you my Brothers

He also cited Candace Owens as his biggest inspiration to carrying out this attack.., there is not one thing that Candace Owens has ever written or spoken about that can in anyway be construed to promoting violence in any way yet she is being blamed for what allegedly happened in your country. Because of Miss Owens and other conservative voices now being targeted I'm reminded of an infamous false-flag operation, the Reichstag Fire when the German Govt immediately began outlawing and convesgating guns, lists of political targets where already prepared before the fire even began and Hitler used the panic this event created to pass the Enabling Act giving him full dictorial powers. Forgive me for saying this but when these type of events do occur I do hope they are staged, I'd prefer that rather than have innocent people really die.

https://www.gaia.com/article/do-you-know-how-to-identify-a-false-flag-event

THE TELLTALE SIGNS OF A FALSE FLAG EVENT

There are some key characteristics that can be indicative of a false flag event. The catalyst is typically an explosive, spectacular event, which is followed by immediate media saturation. Of course this is inevitable in any tragic scenario and simply the nature of news, but there are a few warning signs of a plotted false flag. If the major news outlets are all in sync, reporting on the event without thoroughly vetting the information available, then there is cause for concern. Within a relatively short period of time a scapegoat will be named, establishing an enemy with little to no trial or investigation into other possibilities. The case will be closed, government action will ensue, and, on a much more subversive level, someone will reap profit. And often those who profit are large corporations or military contractors that make exorbitant revenue through war and conflict.

These scenarios work best when the stakes are high. The greater the shock value, the less likely people are to question the authenticity of the event. If someone dares to question the mainstream’s sanctioned culprit in a tragedy, they’re labelled crazy, insensitive or unpatriotic. Skeptics are denounced as pacifists who are unsupportive of their country in a time of attack. Those who do succumb to the hysteria, perpetuate a groupthink that can be easily persuaded to allow government to restrict liberties and implement authoritarian laws. Examples of this can be seen throughout history..

Rob, I too would like to express my profound sympathy.
I’ve been following reports on this horrible event with shock and shared grief.

Particularly moving though - and they brought me to tears - have been recent videos (on BBC news) of New Zealand women coming out in full force, wearing headscarves, and proclaiming strong and loving support of their Muslim sisters.

Humanity somehow always shines through.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident was not a conspiracy Scott, if was a manufactured event that got 58,220 Americans killed and another 304,000 wounded not to mention those poisoned by Agent Orange and all the psychological causalities too numerous to calculate. (And as a side note, CDC research Poul Thorson, who co-authored the research papers that found no link between mercury laced vaccines & severe autism now affecting millions of other innocent victims is the same Poul Thorson who also found no link between agent orange exposure and the ruination of the health of returning Viet Nam veterans, but that's all conspiracy stuff again too?)

I'm as sympathetic as the next person for any victim of any senseless crime but at the moment, I see very little humanity shining through for innocent people being scapegoated for an event they had noting to do with by the very people now grandstanding on this issue nor do I expect too.

No disrespect at all on my part Scott. I have nothing but respect for all victims of any senseless tragedy when they occur. And I do mean all victims such as Candace Owens once again who is being unfairly targeted and demonized for something she clearly has no part in. She is clearly being targeted for her political views and no one has spoken up in her defense on these forums other than myself. So no foul at all on my part, she deserves the same respect anyone else demands.

Ladies & Gentleman..., Miss Candace Owens.

And Scott if you had any respect and decorum you would send a warning in private , your conduct here in public is not anything like a CEO would do, and that is why I posted in public, that your tactics are not in line with a true manager and individual who would handle this in an a more appropriate way. It is way Unprofessional, and I see nothing wrong with Freddie's post, its just your perception, a personal take, now some may disagree with me yet we have a history, you have no respect for me, and me likewise, sometimes you can get real petty dude

Bryon,
There is an entire section dedicated to political debates and it has been said that political debates are not allowed on the main pipeline because they tend to get nasty.

Its the same is if any other member violated a rule they get warned. Historically the warning has taken place in the thread in which it happened.

The reason I warn him publically is because we try to set an example for others. Besides Freddie 2 is an anonymous name and has a bogus email listed, I tried it.

Silverwood is a distiguished citizen here and he didn't really deserve to have this thread turned in this direction.

Now Bryon, I know you like to side with pretty much anybody I have issues with but this kind of horseshit is reserved for the political forum and you know that. If you have issues with me being a turrible turrible man you should address them thru our support email indiemusicpeople2@gmail.com.

I send my deep felt sympathy to everyone in Christ Church that has been so deeply affected by this atrocity. The reverberations will go on for a very very long time and I hope that out of the horror some coming together will also happen - some enlightenment and healing in the long run.

I have so much admiration for your wonderful president who seems to have reacted quickly with genuine empathy and action and only wish other leaders round the world would follow her example.

Hello Chandra

thank you for your comments----Our PM (Prime Minister) is a true leader, she is real not an actor----her response has been to ban the weapons used in the Mosque attacks (semi automatic weapons which carry magazines of 30 bullets) also conversion kits which can alter weapons to shoot more bullets. These guns are made solely to kill people and have no place in New Zealand streets.
