Authorities are investigating a 75-page manifesto allegedly written by the two teenage suspects who killed three people outside the Islamic Center of San Diego before dying by apparent suicide. The document, titled “The New Crusade: Sons of Tarrant,” contains neo-Nazi, antisemitic, and racist rhetoric, praising mass killers such as Adolf Hitler and the Tree of Life synagogue shooter Robert Bowers.
Manifesto Details
The manifesto, viewed by JNS, appears to reference Brenton Tarrant, the gunman who killed 51 worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019. It states: “I only hope that we can finish what he had once started and make him proud, Heil Hitler.” The suspects sought to revive what they described as the “momentum” started by Tarrant and to “kick start the race war.”
The document outlines plans to attack at least three locations, with goals including maximizing casualties, spreading their ideology, and dying during the attacks. “What’s the plan? Blitzkrieg,” it reads. “Cause as much death and destruction to the system and the invaders as efficiently and quickly as possible with a diverse selection of targets.”
Hate-Filled Rhetoric
In a section titled “Middle Easterners and Islam,” the document describes Islam as incompatible with Western society and accuses Muslim immigrants of “invading” the United States. It also praises attacks targeting Jews, Muslims, blacks, and immigrants, encouraging followers to livestream acts of violence.
Another section, “The Universal Enemy,” blames Jews for “all the wrong in the world.” “It’s the Jews,” the document states repeatedly in all capital letters. “For any sane man seeing all this, the only logical solution would be to just kill them all.”
Targeting Political Figures
The manifesto also calls for the killing of U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, stating: “Yes, I am inciting violence from the left, because as an accelerationist I know that it takes all sides opening fire to cause that much desired societal collapse.”
The New York Post reported that investigators have a copy of the document and believe it to be authentic. Authorities are investigating the attack as a hate crime.
