Buffalo NY shooter

A man shot 10 people deadin Buffalo, NY. He may have been preoccupied by the so-called “great replacement” conspiracy theory. A propaganda document released online (under his name) exposes the deadly consequences of white supremacy. This racist conspiracy narrative asserts an active, ongoing and covert effort to replace the population of white people in currently white-majority countries.

How Trump treats women

• DT's campaigns won in Iowa and New Hampshire, but the standards were harsh for one person on the staff. SHE was not allowed on the plane. T had lost Johnson County, home of the University of Iowa, by a single vote so.....The regional political director who had overseen the area was not given a seat on the plane. The next morning she was informed by a terse email from her supervisor that her contract with the Trump campaign was not being renewed.
• NIKKI...On his Truth Social account on Friday, he repeatedly referred to her as "Nimbra," a play on her birth name, Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrant parents....The same week, he referred to Haley as "Nimrada" and, before that, lobbed "birther" claims, saying she was ineligible to run for president because her parents weren't US citizens when she was born. He's also referred to her as "BIRDBRAIN" mocking Haley's intelligence....Her Blue dress
• ELAINE CHAO...A cabinet members to resign from her post. Coco Chow' with accusations of Chao enriching herself through her ties with China.
• List of nicknames used by Donald Trump
• Fox News’ Megyn Kelly called him out on his sexist behavior during the GOP debate on August 6, 2015 reminding him: “You have called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs’, ‘dogs’, ‘slobs’, and ‘disgusting animals.”...Trump has consistently insulted, belittled, sexualized and stereotyped women. He has also taken the time to personally insult individual notable women like Sarah Jessica Parker, Rosie O’Donnell, Cher, Bette Midler, and others. [2]

White extinction

Paranoid narratives of “white extinction” have appeared to exist throughout in American history. But only on a radical fringe of racist political movements. At times some of the nation’s highest political officeholders have repeated these ideas which then lead to forced sterilization programs (at the state level) and a racial quota system becoming federal immigration law for four decades. Today it exists out in the open---it is no longer on the fringe. Today, such narratives have currency among some of the most powerful and influential actors in the right-wing arena. The “great replacement” theory is basically white supremacist. It stokes fears that a non-white population, which are “inferior,” will displace the white majority.

AntiSemetic

Some proponents of the “great replacement” do not explicitly attribute the plot to Jews. Instead, they blame powerful Jewish individuals such as financier and philanthropist George Soros or use coded antisemitic language to identify shadowy “elites” or “globalists.” Along with invocations of the “great replacement” narrative, the online screed believed to have been written by the man charged with the Buffalo shootings included copious false assertions about the intellectual inferiority and inherent criminality of Black people and false, antisemitic allegations of wide-ranging Jewish conspiracies against whites.

The Narrative has been linked to racist violence

The suspect accused of a mass murder at a Pittsburgh synagogue...the killer behind an attack at a mosque and a community center in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March 2019...the suspect in the August 2019 attack on a Walmart in El Paso, Texas...the individual who opened fire at a synagogue in Poway, California, and set fire to a mosque in Escondido, California, in 2019.

EUROPEAN ROOTS

Renaud Camus

A racist French writer, coined the “great replacement” formulation. Camus falsely depicted non-white immigration to France from the decolonized Middle East and Africa as an attempt by a sinister “re-placist” elite to destroy native French demographics and culture. White supremacy and coded antisemitism were baked into Camus’ narrative from the outset. His ideas, featured in books published in 2010 and 2011, directly influenced the growth of the far-right, anti-immigrant European identitarian movement in the ensuing decade. With national branches in several European countries, identitarians attempted to put a respectable gloss on anti-immigrant politics, though some progressed from online propaganda and banner drops to attempted interceptions of boats carrying migrants across the Mediterranean Sea. Camus acknowledged the influence on his own ideas from far-right anti-immigrant British politician Enoch Powell, interwar French literary fascist Charles Maurras and Jean Raspail, author of the 1973 racist, [[dystopian] novel, The Camp of the Saints. Raspail’s book fell out of print, but The Social Contract Press – the publishing house founded by John Tanton, the architect of the modern-day anti-immigrant movement – brought it back into circulation in 1994. Tanton-founded groups, such as ]]Federation for American Immigration Reform ]](FAIR) and the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), heavily influenced thinking on immigration, refugee and asylum policy in the Tadministration, as led by T’s senior adviser and director of speechwriting, Stephen Miller.

Martin Sellner

The leader of Austria’s Generation Identity was investigated by law enforcement in that country in 2019 after he was found to have corresponded with the mass shooter who attacked Muslims in Christchurch, though various charges against his group were eventually dismissed by a judge. The shooter also donated money to Sellner’s organization.

Identity Europa

Members of Identity Evropa, an American offshoot of the Identitarian movement, were prominent participants in the deadly 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Identity Evropa was an American neo-Nazi and pushed for what they described as the "Nazification of America".

A CENTURY OF FEAR MONGERING

The “great replacement” can also be seen as a variation or elaboration on false narratives of “white extinction” that have circulated since the 19th century in Europe and in white-majority countries subject to European colonization and settlement. In 1892, British-Australian author Charles Pearson warned that one day soon, white people would “wake to find ourselves elbowed and hustled, and perhaps even thrust aside by peoples whom we looked down upon.” His book National Life and Character launched a genre that included even more apocalyptic visions of white extinction from American authors, including the racist and antisemitic New York lawyer Madison Grant.

Madison Grant

Madison Grant’s own scientific-racist 1916 book, The Passing of the Great Race, warned of the decline and extinction of America’s “Nordic” racial stock. (Scientific racism is the discredited, pseudoscientific belief that scientific evidence exists to support racism and racially biased state policy.) Grant did not write from the fringes: His book influenced the widespread adoption of eugenic policies, restrictions on non-white immigration and anti-miscegenation laws in the U.S. in the interwar period. (Eugenics is a debunked pseudoscience whose believers are obsessed with controlling heredity through hateful notions like “racial hygiene” to preserve supposedly superior races and ethnicities.) Grant’s book had an influence far beyond North America. In devising their own racist political order, Germany’s Nazi regime and Hitler himself drew on narratives of white extinction and on American policies influenced by Grant and like-minded authors. The Nazis falsely attributed the declining “racial hygiene” of white races, and the advance of “Bolshevism” in Europe, to Jewish plots. In many majority-white countries in the early 20th century, ideas of white extinction were recited in the halls of power and fed into policies of racial exclusion, segregation and genocide.

Harry Laughlin

Figureheads of the U.S.-based eugenics movement – such as Harry Laughlin of the Eugenics Record Office and Wickliffe Draper, who provided the first endowment for the eugenicist Pioneer Fund – collaborated with lawmakers, researchers and political groups to sustain the eugenic policies, ensure a white-Christian majority and quash efforts to achieve racial equality. Laughlin, for example, helped structure the racist quota system used in American immigration policy that President Calvin Coolidge signed into law in 1924. (The 1924 Immigration Act’s provisions were overturned in the 1960s.) Draper’s Pioneer Fund and Laughlin, who was also its first president, communicated with Nazi scientists who established the conceptual framework for Hitler’s own aspirations for “racial hygiene” in Germany. Laughlin and others also supported the forced sterilization laws that passed in 31 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Women of color and women with disabilities were disproportionately victimized by these laws. In 2016, NPR reported that “as many as 70,000 Americans were forcibly sterilized during the 20th century.” In more recent times, a formulation of white extinction anxiety known as “white genocide” has circulated broadly on the far right and was included in the accused Buffalo shooter’s propaganda post alongside the “great replacement” narrative.

David Lane

White nationalist David Lane – who was imprisoned for crimes committed as a member of the white supremacist terrorist group The Order – popularized this idea in his “White Genocide Manifesto,” which he wrote in prison. Lane and others who promote the idea of “white genocide” portray the fear at the heart of the “great replacement” – non-white immigration – alongside other supposed dangers to whites, including mixed-race families, abortion, same-sex relationships, mass media (which they falsely portray as a vector for Jewish propaganda) and drug and alcohol dependency. And while “great replacement” propaganda is frequently aimed at newer immigrant cohorts – Middle Easterners, South Asians and Africans in Europe, and Latin Americans in the United States – “white genocide” proponents often falsely depict Black people as pawns in a Jewish plot to undermine white America with violence and crime.

MODERN RACIST CONSPIRACY

Buffalo shooter’s document indicates he has absorbed a wide range of apocalyptic racist propaganda in online forums that have played a part in radicalizing other perpetrators of racist violence. But great replacement narratives circulate far beyond sites such as 4chan. Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s rise to the top of cable news ratings, and the peak of his influence on right-wing politics, has been accompanied by repeated invocations of imminent white extinction. Carlson has used the phrase “great replacement” on air. He seems to otherwise avoid using the terms favored by open white power activists, but he nevertheless regularly portrays everything from immigration at the United States’ Southern border to falling birthrates as existential threats to white people. Carlson has a direct influence on the thinking of other powerful actors, as was seen in 2019. After Carlson ran a segment claiming white South African farmers were facing a genocidal threat – an idea that had bubbled up from the so-called “alt-right” over preceding months – then-President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he had asked then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to look into “the large scale killing of farmers” in the country.

Stephen Miller

The Tadministration adviser and speechwriter, he recommended (in 2015) that Breitbart run articles on The Camp of the Saints, the book whose vision of a Europe overrun by non-white immigrants inspired Renaud Camus to condense these fears of white extinction into a single, memorable phrase. Hatewatch noted that Miller repeatedly emphasized the importance of the 1924 Immigration Act and its political sponsors. In a June 2, 2015, email containing a link to an MSNBC story noting the beginning of Immigrant Heritage Month, Stephen Miller wrote, “This would seem a good opportunity to remind people about the heritage established by Calvin Coolidge, which covers four decades of the 20th century.” Two years later, Miller was part of the Tadministration, combining draconian immigrant and refugee detention with narratives of migrant caravans orchestrated by Jewish billionaires.

Conclusion

Fears of white extinction can inspire state violence just as surely as they do the violence of mass shooters. And while “great replacement” as a term may have been coined abroad, the white supremacy at the core of the conspiracy is dyed in the fabric of this country’s hard history

Villeneuve said Zimmer spent "months and months creating new instruments, defining, creating, and seeking new sounds, pushing the envelope" and praised his work on the film. Two singles were released on July 22, titled "Paul's Dream" and "Ripples in the Sand". The film's score was nominated for the Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

DT and others

should be obligated to reflect on how they can best utilize the public's trust and attention to improve society rather than inflame divisions for political gain. With goodwill, our leaders have the power to shape a just, inclusive, and prosperous future for us all. While the First Amendment grants rights of freedom of speech to political adherents, they have a moral responsibility to insure that their platforms benefit society as a whole. DT and all other elected officials should focus their media interactions on sharing truthful and vetted key facts, data and expert opinions on issues to assist citizens to make informed choices.
