Now We Know the Mosque Shooters' Motivations:

A 75-page manifesto linked to 17-year-old Cain Clark and 19-year-old Caleb Vasquez, the two suspects in the Islamic Center of San Diego shooting, has answered the question everyone was asking: why? The document, now in the hands of law enforcement, paints a detailed and deeply disturbing picture of the two young men.

Law enforcement connected the manifesto to the pair through online profiles on Steam and Venmo, both of which displayed the same fascist imagery, language, and symbolism that appear throughout the document.

The manifesto, obtained by the California Post, is steeped in neo-Nazi symbolism — the same Black Sun and Atomwaffen insignia Clark wore during the livestreamed attack — and it brims with racial hatred toward Muslims, Jews, gay people, and other groups, framing them not as neighbors but as invaders and enemies. Physical evidence recovered at the scene drives the point home: a fuel can marked with the Nazi SS symbol, firearms etched with hateful messages, and the Black Sun imagery visible during the livestream.

However, the ideology is somewhat ambiguous.

Both killers wrote sections under their own names. Vasquez opens with an "About Me" section in which he distances himself from conventional politics, writing that he is "certainly not left wing, nor am I right wing — especially not with MAGA or Trump." He positions himself as a "Third Positionist,” which is a fringe ideology rooted in National Socialism and eco-fascism.

On religion, he's equally direct: "What was I religiously? It doesn't really matter at the end of the day. As a friend once said, my religion is the white race." --->READ MORE HERE

The Mosque Shooters’ Manifesto:

Defined by what they hated.

The obligatory mass-shooter manifesto has been recovered in the wake of Monday’s San Diego mosque shooting carried out by two teenage losers, and predictably, it is a testament of nihilistic rage directed at just about everybody and everything.

Law enforcement and the media are now in possession of the 75-page document compiled by Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vasquez, 18 (or 19, depending on the source), who killed themselves after shooting three Muslim victims dead outside the Islamic Center of San Diego. Investigative journalist Amy Reichart reports that the manifesto revealed the two to be not trans lovers, as many were quick to claim on social media, but straight incels – “involuntary celibates,” a subculture of mostly males bitter about their inability to find relationships with women.

Regurgitating a theme that commonly circulates on the internet these days, thanks in no small part to a handful of rabidly antisemitic influencers on both the Left and the Right, Clark and Vasquez identified Jews as “the Universal Enemy.” “After the Jew,” they added, “the most evil person in this world is the woman.” In addition to hating them, gay and trans people (whom they call “deranged”), blacks, immigrants both legal and illegal, and Islam (not Muslims per se, they assert), the two despised President Trump and his MAGA supporters. This no doubt disappoints many on the Left who hoped giddily that Right-wing Islamophobes were responsible for the shooting. Clark and Vasquez even encouraged others to assassinate Trump and Vice President Vance.

That didn’t stop some from trying to exploit the murders by pointing the finger at conservatives anyway. A hijab-wearing spokesperson at a press conference held in San Diego the day after the shooting had the nerve to complain about rising “Islamophobia” in America since 9/11. She told the media, “The state-funded demonization of Muslim Americans and the climate of anti-Muslim bigotry fueled by the president and his white Christian nationalist allies has put a bright red target on our community. The truth cannot be ignored.”

Apparently the truth can be ignored, because this is an absurd smear. There is no “state-funded demonization of Muslim Americans.” The San Diego mosque shooting notwithstanding, there is no climate of “anti-Muslim bigotry” in America. There is no such thing as Islamophobia, the “irrational fear of Islam.” There most certainly is, however, a growing, justifiable frustration among American patriots who are fed up with surging Islamic supremacism, Islamic antisemitism, the demonstrable threat of spreading sharia, and outright Islamic terrorism not only in this country but throughout the Western world.

Based on their own statements in the manifesto, the Jew-haters Clark and Vasquez were more likely to attack a synagogue than a mosque; in fact, the manifesto confirms that they hoped to have opportunities to hit “a diverse selection of targets,” but proximity may have prompted them to target the Islamic Center of San Diego first (it’s in the same neighborhood as the house where Clark lived). --->READ MORE HERE
