The accused New Zealand mosque shooter hailed President Trump as a "symbol of renewed white identity" and blasted former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as "boring" in a lengthy manifesto reportedly written before the murder of at least 49 people Friday.

In a 74-page document called "The Great Replacement," the 28-year-old Australian laid out plans to ambush worshipers at a pair of Christchurch-area mosques, and expressed hope the attack would spark a second civil war in the United States.

"Were/are you a supporter of Donald Trump?" he asked himself. "As a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose? Sure. As a policy maker and leader? Dear god no."

The author appears to veer between being serious and sarcastic and at times deliberately provocative, designing his actions to stoke controversy. He opened by quoting the Dylan Thomas poem "Do not go gentle into that good night" and later offered a modified version of "The Beginnings" by Rudyard Kipling and quoted "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley.

The document laments nonwhite immigration to Western countries, particularly Islamic immigration, and attacks the political establishment in many countries. "Above all, just don’t be stale, placid and boring. No one is inspired by Jeb Bush," the manifesto states.

The author mentions disparate enemies and political influences, including the 1930s British fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley — "the person from history closest to my own beliefs" — and Candace Owens, the 29-year-old black conservative activist affiliated with the pro-Trump group Turning Point USA.

"Yes, the person that has influenced me above all was Candace Owens. Each time she spoke I was stunned by her insights and her own views helped push me further and further into the belief of violence over meekness," he wrote. "Though I will have to disavow some of her beliefs, the extreme actions she calls for are too much, even for my tastes."

He quoted Mosley, saying: "It will come in one way and one way alone, not through existing governments. Not by the maneuvers of the lobbies and the parliaments and the congresses, it will come under the stress of necessity. It will come in a great wave of popularity, in a great awakening of the European soul.”

Referring to the late South Africa president and anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela, the author wrote: "I do not just expected to be released, but I also expect an eventual Nobel Peace prize. As was awarded to the Terrorist Nelson Mandela once his own people achieved victory and took power. I expect to be freed in 27 years from my incarceration, the same number of years as Mandela, for the same crime."

Other enemies are German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who allowed significant numbers of Muslim asylum seekers to enter Germany, Sadiq Khan, who was the first Muslim to become mayor of London and a Trump antagonist, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "KILL ANGELA MERKEL, KILL ERDOGAN, KILL SADIQ KHAN," he wrote.

He branded Khan as "a Pakistani muslim invader" who "now sits as representative for the people of London," adding: "Londinium, the very heart of the British isles. What better sign of the white rebirth than the removal of this invader?"

Merkel was "the mother of all things anti-white and anti-germanic," someone who had "done more to damage and racially cleanse Europe of its people" than almost anyone else.

The author laid out a vision for global reform, expressing hope that the massacres he committed would drive a wedge between majority Christian countries in NATO and Turkey, and between pro-gun-rights and pro-gun-control supporters in the U.S.

He said he supported "many of those that take a stand against ethnic and cultural genocide," citing Luca Traini, an Italian neofascist who shot six immigrants, Anders Breivik, the far-right Norwegian who murdered 77 people, Dylann Roof, who murdered nine black people in a Charleston church, Anton Lundin Pettersson, who went on a stabbing spree in Sweden in 2015, and Darren Osborne, who drove a van into worshippers at a London mosque. He claimed he "had brief contact with Knight Justiciar Breivik, receiving a blessing for my mission after contacting his brother knights."

The author stated he was a supporter of Brexit, the decision by British voters to leave the European Union, saying the referendum result "was the British people firing back at mass immigration, cultural displacement and globalism, and that’s a great and wonderful thing."

The alleged gunman wrote that one of his goals was "to create conflict between the two ideologies within the United States on the ownership of firearms in order to further the social, cultural, political and racial divide within the United states."

"This conflict over the 2nd amendment and the attempted removal of firearms rights will ultimately result in a civil war that will eventually balkanize the US along political, cultural and, most importantly, racial lines," he wrote. "This balkanization of the US will not only result in the racial separation of the people within the United States ensuring the future of the White race on the North American continent, but also ensuring the death of the 'melting pot' pipe dream."

The manifesto continues: "This attempted abolishment of rights by the left will result in a dramatic polarization of the people in the United States and eventually a fracturing of the US along cultural and racial lines."
