RESEARCHING ECOSOCIALISM up popped ‘Christchurch shooters manifesto reveals an obsession with ‘white supremacy’ dated 15th March 2019  5.48pm. The day of the terrorist attack. Article reported in the Sydney Morning Herald by Michael Koziol

Includes in the newspaper article:-

30^th March 2019 an article by Beth Collier.co.uk ‘Eco-Fascism makes itself known in New Zealand . Refers to Tarrants Manifesto as He posted a manifesto online proclaiming himself as “just an ordinary white man,” an “Ethno Nationalist” and “Eco-Fascist”  This article point out Beth Colliers interest in Tarrant relating to ‘Eco fascism’ and explicit attitudes that she had seen in people before that are involved in the environmental and outdoor field. Many she said whom manifest racism in the idealism about nature, land, purity. Political left wing environmentalist who are authoritarian or willing to use violence for their cause but is now more commonly used to describe a ‘far right ideology’.  She refers to the Nazi Aryans and Eco Fascists the necessity to save the planet. That some people must be forcibly removed. The left- liberal views about nature allows them to hide in plain site within nature based groups. She refers in her article as ‘Tarrants attack is the first mass killing in the cause of eco fascism and chauvinism

The Nazi Party immersed their propaganda in idealised imagery of the slogan ‘Blood and Soil’ that people needed a protected area in which to live their utopia, free from what they called imperfections. For the national socialists a rural lifestyle was superior to the immorality and ‘race chaos’ of the city contrasted between Germans and Jews. The World Wild Life Fund (WWF) was founded by a former Nazi Party member, who persistently pursued policies which demonise and marginalise local communities in Africa, Asia and the America forcing people from their ancestral lands.

In the 1970’s, John Tanton, the head of the Sierra Club’s National Population Committee advocated eugenics and organized an anti-immigration movement, concerned with overpopulation on environmental grounds. This dynamic is likely to intensify as climate change creates new stresses that could pit nations and groups against one another. he pressures of a warming planet are new, the deployment of environmental language for racist, nativist and nationalistic ends has a long, dark history. Before environmentalism became a mainstream and progressive cause in the 1970s, many American conservationists were also white supremacists, who argued that those they saw as outsiders threatened the nation’s landscape or lacked the values to care for it properly. Such thinking was common in Europe, too. The Nazis embraced notions of a symbiotic connection between the German homeland and its people

Climate change around the world: In “Postcards From a World on Fire,” 193 stories from individual countries show how climate change is reshaping reality everywhere, from dying coral reefs in Fiji to disappearing oases in Morocco and far, far beyond. The neo-Nazi group Northwest Front, which advocates expelling people of color from the Pacific Northwest, appropriated a flag designed by a left-wing activist, reframing it with the slogan “The sky is the blue, and the land is the green. The white is for the people in between accept the reality of global warming and view it “through the prism of white nationalism. And the solution then becomes the exclusion of immigrants, people of color, the so-called ‘Third World,’ ” said John Hultgren, a faculty member at Bennington College and author of “Border Walls Gone Green: Nature and Anti-immigrant Politics in America.” Some radicals are drawn to apocalyptic climate scenarios, seeing openings for authoritarianism or a complete societal breakdown. “They want to accelerate it,” said Blair Taylor, program director at the Institute for Social Ecology, a left-wing educational centre, who has studied such groups. “So after the downfall they can set up their fascist ethno-states, they can be the Übermensch.” Violent actors are grabbing hold of such ideas. The killers accused of targeting Muslims and Mexican immigrants last year in New Zealand and Texas posted online manifestoes weaving white supremacy with environmental statements.

The Australian man who allegedly murdered 51 people at two Christchurch mosques called himself an “ethnonationalist eco-fascist” and wrote that “continued immigration into Europe is environmental warfare.” The suspect in the El Paso shooting that killed 22 — modern America’s deadliest attack targeting Latinos — ranted about plastic waste and overconsumption. “If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable,” he concluded.

The tenants of Liberalism and the rise of white supremacy ‘Nationalistic Eco Fascism’ Where the extremely far Right meet the extremely far left.  The deeply ugly pairing of eco fascist forces.  Messages, images of climate doom and gloom creates massive stresses that pit nations and groups against one another. The neo-Nazi group Northwest Front, which advocates expelling people of colour from the Pacific Northwest, appropriated a flag designed by a left-wing activist, reframing it with the slogan “The sky is the blue, and the land is the green. The white is for the people in between.” Lenin stressed the need for a violent revolution to bring communists to power. He developed specific strategies and tactics for bringing about such revolutions. Lenin also argued that communist governments should not tolerate political opposition. Leninism is often used combined with other terms. Marxism-Leninism means the same thing as Leninism. Leninism-Stalinism means Lenin’s doctrines as interpreted and modified by Josef Stalin. Marx advocated a communist economic system. Eco Socialism taking control of the means of production. As Tarrant self described himself an eco fascist

Your tax payer dollars are paing this this disgusting undignified assault on paler skinned men of New Zealand, our sovereign people of New Zealand. Main stream news journalists are granted money from the Journalist Fund to promote this white hatred of Instutionalized Identity Politgics, it is immoral and disgusting and thats my personal poin of view. Just like the ‘Drag Queens’ children story reading time in Council libraries. Adult entertainment that is published as ‘Family Friendly’. The family friendly is a term- a code that is pushed by the trans community- family is their family of transgendered peoples not yours. The queering of schools in New Zealand. The term ‘Queering’ used to mask the multiple gender’s that are being indocrinated in schools today. John William Money born in Morrinsville NZ 1955 was the first to officially use the word ‘Trans-kids’ and ‘gender’. He left behind him misery, heartbreak and   a cruel inhumane immoral undignifiedtragedy for those who partook in his guineapig human experiments at the John Hopkins Institute in Baltimore under Dr John William Money. He was influential in what we are seeing today in our schools “the sexualization of children’ from the start of primary school to the end of secondary school. Also in the workplace and Universities. From the cradle to the grave.

This is Tusiata poem that is being promoted by the government and main stream newsmedia, this clearly is not for young children’s eyes. Newshub 2/3/2023 also published in Stuff NZ.

Excerpt from the poem: These days we’re driving round in SUVs looking for ya or white men like you who might be thieves or rapists or kidnappers or murderers  yeah, or any of your descendants or any of your incarnations cos, you know ay, bitch? We’re gonna F… YOU UP… and its gets much worse ‘brown girls hunting white men as  a  murderous revengeful act.

Stuff NZ published the full version of the poem however had to amend their article for a shorter version of a part of Tusiata’s poem after there were many complaints to the Human Rights Commissioner Meng Foon because of Stuffs article that included the full poem on 19th February 2023, it was March 9th 2023 when Stuff NZ amended their article. Meng Food said he would communicate with Creative New Zealand about the multiple complaints he had received however this is what Creative New Zealand said in their statement “one of its functions is to uphold and promote the rights of artists and the right of persons to freedom in the practice of the arts”.  Te Pāti Māori are not impressed.

In the mid-1960s, psychologist John Money encouraged the gender reassignment of David Reimer, who was born a biological male but suffered irreparable damage to his penis as an infant. Born in 1965 as Bruce Reimer, his penis was irreparably damaged during infancy due to a failed circumcision. After encouragement from Money, Reimer’s parents decided to raise Reimer as a girl. Reimer underwent surgery as an infant to construct rudimentary female genitals, and was given female hormones during puberty. During childhood, Reimer was never told he was biologically male and regularly visited Money, who tracked the progress of his gender reassignment. Reimer unknowingly acted as an experimental subject in Money’s controversial investigation, which he called the John/Joan case. The case provided results that were used to justify thousands of sex reassignment surgeries for cases of children with reproductive abnormalities. Despite his upbringing, Reimer rejected the female identity as a young teenager and began living as a male. He suffered severe depression throughout his life, which culminated in his suicide at thirty-eight years old. Reimer, and his public statements about the trauma of his transition, brought attention to gender identity and called into question the sex reassignment of infants and children.

Bruce Peter Reimer was born on 22 August 1965 in Winnipeg, Ontario, to Janet and Ron Reimer. At six months of age, both Reimer and his identical twin, Brian, were diagnosed with phimosis, a condition in which the foreskin of the penis cannot retract, inhibiting regular urination. On 27 April 1966, Reimer underwent circumcision, a common procedure in which a physician surgically removes the foreskin of the penis. Usually, physicians performing circumcisions use a scalpel or other sharp instrument to remove foreskin. However, Reimer’s physician used the unconventional technique of cauterization, or burning to cause tissue death. Reimer’s circumcision failed. Reimer’s brother did not undergo circumcision and his phimosis healed naturally. While the true extent of Reimer’s penile damage was unclear, the overwhelming majority of biographers and journalists maintained that it was either totally severed or otherwise damaged beyond the possibility of function. In 1967, Reimer’s parents sought the help of John Money, a psychologist and sexologist who worked at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. In the mid twentieth century, Money helped establish the views on the psychology of gender identities and roles. In his academic work, Money argued in favor of the increasingly mainstream idea that gender was a societal construct, malleable from an early age. He stated that being raised as a female was in Reimer’s interest, and recommended sexual reassignment surgery. At the time, infants born with abnormal or intersex genitalia commonly received such interventions.

Following their consultation with Money, Reimer’s parents decided to raise Reimer as a girl. Physicians at the Johns Hopkins Hospital removed Reimer’s testes and damaged penis, and constructed a vestigial vulvae and a vaginal canal in their place. The physicians also opened a small hole in Reimer’s lower abdomen for urination. Following his gender reassignment surgery, Reimer was given the first name Brenda, and his parents raised him as a girl. He received estrogen during adolescence to promote the development of breasts. Throughout his childhood, Reimer was not informed about his male biology. Throughout his childhood, Reimer received annual checkups from Money. His twin brother was also part of Money’s research on sexual development and gender in children. As identical twins growing up in the same family, the Reimer brothers were what Money considered ideal case subjects for a psychology study on gender. Reimer was the first documented case of sex reassignment of a child born developmentally normal, while Reimer’s brother was a control subject who shared Reimer’s genetic makeup, intrauterine space, and household.

During the twin’s psychiatric visits with Money, and as part of his research, Reimer and his twin brother were directed to inspect one another’s genitals and engage in behavior resembling sexual intercourse. Reimer claimed that much of Money’s treatment involved the forced reenactment of sexual positions and motions with his brother. In some exercises, the brothers rehearsed missionary positions with thrusting motions, which Money justified as the rehearsal of healthy childhood sexual exploration. In his Rolling Stone interview, Reimer recalled that at least once, Money photographed those exercises. Money also made the brothers inspect one another’s pubic areas. Reimer stated that Money observed those exercises both alone and with as many as six colleagues. Reimer recounted anger and verbal abuse from Money if he or his brother resisted orders, in contrast to the calm and scientific demeanor Money presented to their parents. Reimer and his brother underwent Money’s treatments at preschool and grade school age. Money described Reimer’s transition as successful, and claimed that Reimer’s girlish behavior stood in stark contrast to his brother’s boyishness. Money reported on Reimer’s case as the John/Joan case, leaving out Reimer’s real name. For over a decade, Reimer and his brother unknowingly provided data that, according to biographers and the Intersex Society of North America, was used to reinforce Money’s theories on gender fluidity and provided justification for thousands of sex reassignment surgeries for children with abnormal genitals.

Contrary to Money’s notes, Reimer reports that as a child he experienced severe gender dysphoria, a condition in which someone experiences distress as a result of their assigned gender. Reimer reported that he did not identify as a girl and resented Money’s visits for treatment. At the age of thirteen, Reimer threatened to commit suicide if his parents took him to Money on the next annual visit. Bullied by peers in school for his masculine traits, Reimer claimed that despite receiving female hormones, wearing dresses, and having his interests directed toward typically female norms, he always felt that he was a boy. In 1980, at the age of fifteen, Reimer’s father told him the truth about his birth and the subsequent procedures. Following that revelation, Reimer assumed a male identity, taking the first name David. By age twenty-one, Reimer had received testosterone therapy and surgeries to remove his breasts and reconstruct a penis. He married Jane Fontaine, a single mother of three, on 22 September 1990.

In adulthood, Reimer reported that he suffered psychological trauma due to Money’s experiments, which Money had used to justify sexual reassignment surgery for children with intersex or damaged genitals since the 1970s. In the mid-1990s, Reimer met Milton Diamond, a psychologist at the University of Hawaii, in Honolulu, Hawaii, and academic rival of Money. Reimer participated in a follow-up study conducted by Diamond, in which Diamond cataloged the failures of Reimer’s transition.

In 1997, Reimer began speaking publicly about his experiences, beginning with his participation in Diamond’s study. Reimer’s first interview appeared in the December 1997 issue of Rolling Stone magazine. In interviews, and a later book about his experience, Reimer described his interactions with Money as torturous and abusive. Accordingly, Reimer claimed he developed a lifelong distrust of hospitals and medical professionals. With those reports, Reimer caused a multifaceted controversy over Money’s methods, honesty in data reporting, and the general ethics of sex reassignment surgeries on infants and children. Reimer’s description of his childhood conflicted with the scientific consensus about sex reassignment at the time. According to NOVA, Money led scientists to believe that the John/Joan case demonstrated an unreservedly successful sex transition. Reimer’s parents later blamed Money’s methods and alleged surreptitiousness for the psychological illnesses of their sons, although the notes of a former graduate student in Money’s lab indicated that Reimer’s parents dishonestly represented the transition’s success to Money and his coworkers. Reimer was further alleged by supporters of Money to have incorrectly recalled the details of his treatment. On Reimer’s case, Money publicly dismissed his criticism as antifeminist and anti-trans bias, but, according to his colleagues, was personally ashamed of the failure.

In his early twenties, Reimer attempted to commit suicide twice. According to Reimer, his adult family life was strained by marital problems and employment difficulty. Reimer’s brother, who suffered from depression and schizophrenia, died from an antidepressant drug overdose in July of 2002. On 2 May 2004, Reimer’s wife told him that she wanted a divorce. Two days later, at the age of thirty-eight, Reimer committed suicide by firearm. Reimer, Money, and the case became subjects of numerous books and documentaries following the exposé. Reimer also became somewhat iconic in popular culture, being directly referenced or alluded to in the television shows Chicago Hope, Law & Order, and Mental. The BBC series Horizon covered his story in two episodes, “The Boy Who Was Turned into a Girl” (2000) and “Dr. Money and the Boy with No Penis” (2004). Canadian rock group The Weakerthans wrote “Hymn of the Medical Oddity” about Reimer, and the New York-based Ensemble Studio Theatre production Boy was based on Reimer’s life.
