Christchurch: NZSAS, Other Special Forces Teams and Armed Police Exercises Underway During Mosque Attacks

March 18th, 2019

In other news: Due to conspiracy theories, make sure to get information about these attacks ONLY from the government.

Via: New Zealand Herald:

Some of the world’s most deadly sharpshooters were in Christchurch when New Zealand’s worst ever terror attack unfolded on Friday, with NZSAS taking to the streets to help hunt the rampaging mosque shooter.

Snipers from the New Zealand military, as well as professional snipers from Australia and Asian countries, had been at the Defence Force shooting range at West Melton, 25kms west of the city, the Herald has been told.

When the massacre unfolded, they were sprung into action and understood to have been granted special powers to take up arms in order to protect the public.

NZSAS soldiers were photographed with weapons and balaclavas masking their face near the Al Noor Mosque by Hagley Park where a gunman stormed Friday prayer and shot dead more than 40 people.

One photograph, which has appeared on social media, appears to show an NZSAS soldier with an army sniper rifle or designated marksman weapon outside the Deans Ave mosque.

Others responded to a callout at Papanui High School which was feared to have been under attack too.

Heavily-armed masked officers were seen travelling in civilian rental vehicles with police on Friday afternoon.

New Zealand Police special tactics group (STG) officers were also on the frontline.

The Defence Force and Police have been approached for comment.

The two police officers who finally apprehended the gunman on Brougham St were also out-of-towners who joined the urgent scramble to find the fleeing gunman.

They were on a training session at Princess Margaret Hospital in Cashmere, using a disused floor of the hospital to practice room clearing and dealing with armed offenders.

After hearing there was an active shooter on the loose in the city, the officers, who are both based in smaller towns out of Christchurch, took to the streets to stop him.

    See this link at The Political Insider as to what the NZ Herald originally reported (and then later obviously scrubbed). Note that it quotes the Herald thusly:

    “A well known Muslim local chased the shooters and fired two shots at them as they sped off. He was heard telling police officers he was firing in ‘self defense’. ‘They were in a silver Subaru,’ he told police.”

    Then when you go to the NZ Herald linked story, you can see the same lead-in language

    “Second shooting at mosque in Linwood” A second shooting happened at a mosque in the Linwood area of the city.

    but now the sentences have been removed regarding the “well known Muslim local” firing on the two shooters.

    Neon Revolt has a new article that brings together some of the best digs from 4chan and 8chan on the NZ attack (the chans are banned from NZ, and more recently from Aussie — can’t have the sheeple getting access to this info, because the Narrative Must Not Be Questioned!). It goes into Skippy Podesta’s visit to NZ shortly before the shooting, plus the shooter’s connection to the Nizari Ismaili Shia (the shooter shoots up a NZ Sunni mosque — the majority of Muslims in NZ are Sunni). The Mossad is known to recruit Shia Muslims to penetrate Islamic radical networks. Also includes a review of the Mossad’s spy ring exposure at the 2011 Christchurch earthquake aftermath. Also a senior Israeli official admitting that the shooter entered Israel in 2016 for 9 days. It’s a long article dealing with other topics (USA political), and the NZ shooter info is about 2/3 the way through the article:

    NOT The Onion. As a commenter on ZeroHedge wrote:

    I had to check my calendar in case April Fools Day was coming early this year. However, not to be. Not a joke…at least not intentionally: NZ PM, Jacinda Ardern, has decreed that NZ TV and radio stations are to broadcast a co-ordinated Muslim call to prayer on Friday “in a show of solidarity”. So, the Muslim muezzin’s call will be EVERYWHERE and unmissable.

    I wonder if Ardern realizes she’s actually making situation worse: many Muslim fundamentalists will see this as confirmation that their god is actively delivering the world to them. It’s the only explanation that makes sense in their eyes, for such INSANE acts by non-believers. Why else, they believe, would infidels relent and issue a muezzin’s call??

    Will someone/anyone PLEASE wake me up from this bad dream!
