Yes, Ed. loved the cartoon. Totally appropriate. As for the nationalists and kahanists and jihadists and crusaders, a pox on all their houses.

There's just one problem... they own the poxes (and they're manufacturing new ones as we speak).

"This is a sobering reminder for those who think it's too expensive to wage a war against jihadists."
- Neocon propagandist Jennifer Rubin
Nordic avenger Anders Breivik, in executing his murderous attacks last Friday in Oslo has forever had his ticked punched as a heroic figure to the extreme right-wingers of the same sort that have eaten America from within with their virulent hatred. Breivik or Anders Behring Breivik in sticking with the favored propaganda technique of the thoroughly rotten media who since the days of Lee Harvey Oswald always assign all three names to political murderers, a blond-haired blue-eyed fanatic was a Christian who loved guns, hated Muslims and "cultural Marxists" slaughtered 76 people in a rampage that rocked Norway. The majority of Breivik's victims were gunned down at a government youth camp on Utoeya Island where the shooter, dressed as a policeman conjured up dark European memories of the Waffen SS as he carried out his executions in an icily detached militaristic manner. Using high-capacity magazines purchased from the U.S., the terrorist stalked and taunted his victims, laughing as he ended their lives in a hail of bullets and vengeful fury. Breivik brought to mind notorious American terrorist Timothy McVeigh when he built a massive bomb, using up to six tons of fertilizer to detonate in front of government offices near the Parliament building. Fortunately for Norway, the fertilizer bomb was not as devastating as the one that took down the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City back in 1995 or the carnage and body count would have been far worse. Breivik, like McVeigh is a Christian and this fact is downplayed in the American media in the standard cynical attempt to not have the powerful "terrorist" label applied to a non-Muslim.
Attributed to Breivik was a manifesto that clocked in at an Ayn Randian 1,500 or so pages entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence in which the shooter railed against Muslims, Marxists and inclusive multi-culturalism which he blamed for the ruination of Europe. Sound familiar? Breivik's misinformed, racist rage is embodied in America's Tea Party, a post-Bush rebranding of the Republican dead-ender base, largely made up of Evangelical Christians, Breivik would have been right at home within their ranks. His "manifesto" was chock a block full of standard right-wing boilerplate, much of it plagiarized from the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and several American neoconservative anti-Muslim hate merchants the likes of David Horowitz, a diabolical propagandist who has been instrumental in the long-running Naziesque persecution of university and college professors and Robert Spencer, a Mephistophelean self-proclaimed expert on Islamic terrorism. Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com nailed Breivik and his domestic ideological allies dead on in his recent piece entitled The Crusader:
It had to happen: the rise of a "counter-jihadist" terrorist outfit that is the mirror image of al-Qaeda. That it first arose in Norway, rather than, say, in the US, is just a coincidence, although I'm sure Anders Behring Breivik, the perpetrator of the Norwegian mass murder in Utoya, has his American collaborators, as he claimed in his manifesto, "2083: A Declaration of European Independence," [.pdf] and an accompanying video. Indeed, a good many of the sources he cites in "2083″ which is basically a compendium of previously published works by others are American. Material from David Horowitz's website, Frontpagemag.com, figures prominently, along with articles taken verbatim from the Horowitz-affiliated "Jihad Watch," run by professional hater and make-believe "scholar" Robert Spencer.
Breivik's "book" is a mishmash, half diary of his careful preparations for the attack thrown together with anti-Muslim materials and boilerplate conservative rhetoric about the importance of faith, family, and community Breivik lifts an entire section of a screed on "Cultural Conservatism" by the late Paul Weyrich totaling well over a thousand pages. Thankfully, we don't have to plough through this disjointed "compendium," as he calls it which shows signs of being hastily thrown together in preparation for his international debut as the Norwegian Timothy McVeigh, just like his Facebook page and his Twitter account. Breivik created a much more coherent video version which gives us a lot more clues about why he murdered 90-plus (at last count) of his fellow Norwegians in the name of fighting Islam.

Breivik's racist rage is embodied in America's Tea Party, a post-Bush re-branding of the Republican dead- ender base, largely made up of Evangelical Christians weaned on a perversion of the teachings of Christ. Here in The Homeland the right-wing electronic sewers vomit up anti-Muslim filth on a daily basis to those seeking scapegoats for their miserably fucked up lives. Hating Muslims is to many on this great star spangled lemming farm as American as apple pie and the propaganda is reinforced by a bastardized version of Christianity that meshes perfectly with the far right policies of Israel. The weaponized death cult of the Armageddon centric, Left Behind visions of apocalyptic doom triggering the return of a new Jesus, cleansed of his pesky liberal values such as compassion for the poor and downtrodden sells well with the same sort of rubes and haters who already eagerly embrace racism due to their mostly southern heritage. The insidious and immensely powerful Glenn Beck, fresh off of his recent visit to Israel to prep for the 2012 anti-Obama onslaught invoked the Hitler Youth to describe the Norwegian youth camp where Breivik pranced among bullet-riddled young corpses. Not that such vileness is limited to the American extreme right and their highly paid demagogues, HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher is a similar source of anti-Muslim propaganda, most recently when the dope-addled, oversexed host welcomed the utterly vile Ann Coulter who once stated that "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity". Demagogues like Beck and Coulter are legion and a gargantuan, well-funded fascist propaganda apparatus comprised of media outlets, think tanks, front groups and money laundering PACs ensure that the haters will have troughs of bloody meat upon which to feast, that much is a given. What is troubling though, is when the anti-Muslim bigotry gains the necessary crossover appeal that is provided by a guy like Bill Maher who cloaks his hatemongering in the guise of atheism. Real Time With Bill Maher is a sinister escalation in the propagation of the inflammatory attacks on Muslims as well as a covert vehicle for Republican and state propaganda as it masquerades as a liberal leaning program while offering forums to those whose loathsome views should discredited by any truly decent society. The tolerance of such hateful feculence only enables the violent and the murderous who will soon be delivering their vengeance upon our very own multiculturalism that they bask in the benediction of the media propagandists that they are not alone. And they shall swim in the rivers of blood as though they were frolicking naked in the fountains at Lourdes.
Indoctrinating Americans to Hate Muslims
The pocket media, after initially and incorrectly pouncing on the events in Norway as yet another outbreak of Islamic jihadism not only cooled on the story entirely but pretty much flushed it down the memory hole in that it didn't fit the standard narrative. Breivik is just the latest example of the right-wing killer or violent freak not given the time of day in America, just like David Adkisson, Bruce Pardo, Scott Roeder, Byron Williams and every other white man with an axe to grind with the scapegoats served up by the fascist propagandists we can't dare have the concept that white Christians engaged in acts of political murder are in fact terrorists. In the early breaking news reports multiple U.S. news outlets rushed to judgement that the terrorism was of the Islamic variety, chief offenders were the insipid Washington Post screed queen Jennifer Rubin who was hired last year, as the WaPo geared up for the festival of hate that would be the 2012 presidential elections. Rubin, who previously wrote for such neocon vomitories as Commentary and Weekly Standard has been prolific, shrill and wrong during her tenure at the mockingbird's nest. On the day of the attacks Rubin like a buzzard on a corpse was out front in exploiting the dead to push her standard right-wing Israeli cant to propagate the outright lie that there was a jihadist tie, complete bullshit as could be expected from one who once wrote a fawning piece about the type of scum that Breivik was inspired by entitled Onward, Christian Zionists which slavishly honored Pastor John Hagee and his fifth column organization CUFI or Christians United for Israel. In what should be a warning shot to all on the tsunami of anti-Muslim filth that is coming for the 2012 Obama reelection campaign, CUFI has that it "represents the soul of the Tea Party." I will speak more about the role that Israel is going to play in next year's elections later on, the important thing is to focus on the narrative as a whole and the role of anti-Muslim demagoguery as the most essential element.
Blogger extraordinaire Glenn Greenwald has written about the double-standard in the U.S. media when it comes to acts of terrorism and white extremists who are downplayed as loose cannons, lone nuts and crazies vs. the orgy of anti-Muslim hysteria that accompanies any act that plays into the larger narrative of the great war of civilizations that is sold by neocons. He blow the whistle on the shameless lies in his piece that is entitled The Omnipotence of Al-Qaeda and the Meaninglessness of "Terrorism" as well as in an interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now. I excerpt from both below:
From The Omnipotence of Al-Qaeda and the Meaninglessness of "Terrorism" : (links are Greenwald's)
For much of the day yesterday, the featured headline on The New York Times online front page strongly suggested that Muslims were responsible for the attacks on Oslo; that led to definitive statements on the BBC and elsewhere that Muslims were the culprits. The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin wrote a whole column based on the assertion that Muslims were responsible, one that, as James Fallows notes, remains at the Post with no corrections or updates. The morning statement issued by President Obama -- "It's a reminder that the entire international community holds a stake in preventing this kind of terror from occurring" and "we have to work cooperatively together both on intelligence and in terms of prevention of these kinds of horrible attacks" -- appeared to assume, though (to its credit) did not overtly state, that the perpetrator was an international terrorist group.
But now it turns out that the alleged perpetrator wasn't from an international Muslim extremist group at all, but was rather a right-wing Norwegian nationalist with a history of anti-Muslim commentary and an affection for Muslim-hating blogs such as Pam Geller's Atlas Shrugged,Daniel Pipes, and Robert Spencer's Jihad Watch. Despite that, The New York Times is still working hard to pin some form of blame, even ultimate blame, on Muslim radicals (h/t sysprog):
Terrorism specialists said that even if the authorities ultimately ruled out Islamic terrorism as the cause of Friday's assaults, other kinds of groups or individuals were mimicking Al Qaeda's brutality and multiple attacks.
"If it does turn out to be someone with more political motivations, it shows these groups are learning from what they see from Al Qaeda," said Brian Fishman, a counterterrorism researcher at the New America Foundation in Washington.
Al Qaeda is always to blame, even when it isn't, even when it's allegedly the work of a Nordic, Muslim-hating, right-wing European nationalist. Of course, before Al Qaeda, nobody ever thought to detonate bombs in government buildings or go on indiscriminate, politically motivated shooting rampages. The NYT speculates that amonium nitrate fertilizer may have been used to make the bomb because the suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, owned a farming-related business and thus could have access to that material; of course nobody would have ever thought of using that substance tomake a massive bomb had it not been for Al Qaeda. So all this proves once again what a menacing threat radical Islam is.

So all this proves once again what a menacing threat radical Islam is.
From the Democracy Now interview:
My first reaction was to be pretty surprised about howor not really surprised, but just struck by how intense the media coverage was and the media interest was in this attack. Obviously, it was a heinous attack. When a government building blows up, when someone goes on an indiscriminate shooting rampage aimed at teenagers, it's horrific. And yet, at the same time, the United States and its allies have brought killing like this, violence like this, to numerous countries around the world that receives a tiny fraction of the attention that this attack received, a tinyit prompts a tiny fraction of the interest in denouncing it and in declaring it to be evil. And it just struck me that when we think that Muslims are responsible for violence aimed at Western nations, it receives a huge amount of attention in the American media, and yet when the United States brings violence on that level to Muslim countries, kills an equal number of civilians, dozens of people killed by drone attacks and the like, and tons of people killed that way over Afghanistan over the past decade, it barely registers. I mean, an attack like this, this level of death in Iraq, for example, or Afghanistan, would barely register on the media scale.
The other aspect of it, though, is what you referenced in your question, which is, when it was widely assumed, based on basically nothing, that Muslims had been responsible for this attack and that a radical Muslim group likely perpetrated it, it was widely declared to be a "terrorist" attack. That was the word that was continuously used. And yet, when it became apparent that Muslims were not involved and that, in reality, it was a right-wing nationalist with extremely anti-Muslim, strident anti-Muslim bigotry as part of his worldview, the word "terrorism" almost completely disappeared from establishment media discourse. Instead, he began to be referred to as a "madman" or an "extremist." And it really underscores, for me, the fact that this word "terrorism," that plays such a central role in our political discourse and our law, really has no objective meaning. It's come to mean nothing more than Muslims who engage in violence, especially when they're Muslims whom the West dislikes.
AND
That you would think thatyou would think that in response to this attack, we would end up doing things like, for example, profiling Nordic males or tall, blond Americans, tall, blond, Nordic-looking people at airports, or would start to, for example, engage in surveillance on the communications of people who belong to right-wing groups in Europe, or you look at the people who inspire these attacks, people like Robert Spencer or Pamela Geller, people who engage in this sort of strident anti-Muslim commentary who inspired this individual. You know, we look at Islamic radicals who we allege inspire violence, such as Anwar al-Awlaki, and we target them for assassinationdue-process-free killingeven though they're American citizens. Of course, none of these measures are going to be invoked against right-wing ideologues who are anti-Muslim in nature. And you would expect that Peter King's hearings, if he were really interested in the threat of violence or terrorism, would be expanded to include what we now know is a very real threat, and yet it isn't, which simply underscores that those hearings, like so many of these measures done in the name of terrorism, is really just a vehicle for demonizing Muslims, restricting their rights, subjecting them to increased scrutiny. It's about Islamophobia and not about terrorism.

The American media has reliably and dishonestly pimped the big lie of Islamic terrorism while deliberately ignoring the dangers of the fascist elements within whose delusions and fanaticism are nurtured. The parasitic Rupert Murdoch has influenced the slow societal degradation to the brink of a hot civil war by unleashing the corpulent diabolical menace to humanity that is Roger Ailes to build the Republican propaganda machine that he conceived of during the Nixon years. FOX along with the multitude of front groups and a cadre of deeply embedded operatives honeycombed throughout the media will continue to successfully promote the hatred for it is they who will reap the rewards of the coming unrest. There is neither the will nor the integrity of a corrupt Justice Department and a complicit Congress to bother to try to investigate where the funding comes from in regards to what could be an ongoing treasonous subversion of the American political system and should be addressed as providing aid and support to real terrorists - the terrorists that are the real danger and not the phony threat of Islamic jihad. As the brilliant writer Chris Hedges put it recently in a column entitled Your Taxes Fund Anti-Muslim Hatred:
The major candidates for the Republican nomination for the presidency, including Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee, along with television personalities such as Bill Maher, routinely employ hate talk against Muslims as a way to attract votes or viewers. Right-wing radio and cable news, including Christian radio and television, along with websites such as Jihad Watch and FrontPage, spew toxic filth about Muslims over the airwaves and the Internet. But perhaps most ominouslyas pointed out in "Manufacturing the Muslim Menace," a report by PoliticalResearch Associatesa cadre of right-wing institutions that peddle themselves as counterterrorism specialists and experts on the Muslim world has been indoctrinating thousands of police, intelligence and military personnel in nationwide seminars. These seminars, run by organizations such as Security Solutions International, The Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies, and International Counter-Terrorism Officers Association, embrace gross and distorted stereotypes and propagate wild conspiracy theories. And much of this indoctrination within the law enforcement community is funded under two grant programs for trainingthe State Homeland Security Program and Urban Areas Security Initiativewhich made $1.67 billion available to states in 2010. The seminars preach that Islam is a terrorist religion, that an Islamic "fifth column" or "stealth jihad" is subverting the United States from within, that mainstream American Muslims have ties to terrorist groups, that Muslims use litigation, free speech and other legal means (something the trainers have nicknamed "Lawfare") to advance the subversive Muslim agenda and that the goal of Muslims in the United States is to replace the Constitution with Islamic or Shariah law.
And -
The effects of this campaign of racial hatred are being felt throughout the Muslim community. Those with Muslim names are routinely harassed at airports, and many who wear traditional Muslim dress report mounting cases of verbal and sometimes physical abuse. Muslim children endure taunts in schools. Muslims complain of intrusive surveillance, unconstitutional profiling and frequent mistreatment by law enforcement. The practice of Islam, especially in its traditional forms, is now viewed by many as a sign of criminal intent. And with the rise of the surveillance and security statewe now have 854,000 people working in our domestic security apparatus and 800,000 more employed as police and emergency personnelnational law is being turned into an instrument of overt repression against a religious minority.

The groups that Hedges identified, particularly Jihad Watch were hugely inspirational to Anders Breivik and those who run these organizations have the blood of innocents on their hands, not that any of them give a fuck about it.
And Thursday, in an amazingly fortuitous bit of serendipity the corrupt media had found (surprise-surprise) a new Muslim "terrorist" again by Thursday. Pvt. Nasser Abdo was arrested for an alleged bombing plot at Fort Hood, TX, the second Muslim "terrorist" incident at the installation that can now be shrieked about by those same U.S. hatemongers who nurtured Breivik's animosity. Abdo has all of hallmarks of a classic patsy, he was alleged to be against war and being charged with possession of child pornography. Here in Der Heimat there is no need to construct elaborate covers because of the endemic stupidity of the American people. The bust will only serve to bury the story of the white Christian terrorist once and for all and get the narrative back on track that Muslims and ONLY Muslims can be "terrorists" here in Murka.
2012: The Great Republican Crusade
"Israel today, Israel tomorrow, and Israel forever."
- Pastor John Hagee
"Anyone who follows the one God of Abraham knows that we will be judged, as a people and as a nation, on how we treat Israel,"
- Glenn Beck
With the bad ass bogeyman Osama bin Laden now officially declared dead, the fascist Republican party having zero credibility on how to fix the economy other than more tax cuts for the rich and the dismantling of social programs the key to regaining the Presidency and the rest of Congress is to mobilize the shock troops and send them forth on a holy war. Christian jihadists are on standby; there are a good many Anders Breiviks right here in America who are just itching for the chance to bag their limit of their hated enemies. Sleeper cells of angry and violent white folks, jacked up on Jesus juice and armed to the teeth are chock a block within the Republican base, a veritable army of ideologically driven, brainwashed by years of religious and capitalist propaganda and perpetually pissed off at the "multiculturalism" that Breivik was driven by. Given the gaggle of reprehensible, full blown lying authoritarian freaks running for the Republican nomination and the potency of the raw, stripped to the bones power of sheer hatred we now are at a point where playing to the base, especially the scumbaggers has the potential to produce a series of brutal hate crimes, vandalism and organized thuggery the likes of Kristallnacht. Just this weekend the LaCrosse, Wisconsin headquarters of the activist group We Are Wisconsin, which was championing the recall efforts of the Koch Brothers backed fascist Republican state government was destroyed by a suspicious fire. While the investigation is still in progress as to the cause of the fire would it surprise anyone if it were an act of political violence? If this is the case expect everything to immediately be taken to the next level by the loyal adherents of the fascist cancer that has eaten this country from within.
To me personally, the most shocking thing about Breivik's killing spree is that it happened in Norway and not right here in Der Homeland. There has long been a very sinister campaign to foment anti-Muslim bigotry, the coin of the realm for the neocon right-wing and their Christian Zionist brigades, this has been especially the case since 9/11, the American Reichstag Fire but has spiked with the election of Barack Obama to the presidency. While Obama has still maintained the boot-licking fealty of the United States government towards the state of Israel he has been less deferential to the war-crazed Netanyahu regime than his predecessors. With right-wing Likudniks and their neocon American fifth-column hellbent on igniting a global conflagration that will make WW II look like a skirmish by unleashing an attack on Iran they have found Obama to be a recalcitrant obstacle to their agenda and one that must be removed. It has been monumentally helpful to the Israeli extreme right to have been able to manifest it's policies within the pseudo populist pack of useful idiots that is the Tea Party who will never be able to accept a black man in the WHITE House.
In Obama, pretty much a feckless, worthless stooge of Wall Street looters in my opinion and by the actions of his lamentable administration has proven to be a classic villain to the fascist American right. The very fact that Obama's skin is of a darker pigmentation ensures that there will always be a driving counter-force among that certain element of the population that are hardened, multi-generational racists but when the sleazy insinuations that he is illegitimate resonates throughout the degenerate Republican party base. Note the potency of the incredibly asinine long-running farce about his birth certificate that only came to a head when the ultra-slimy opportunist pigfucker Donald Trump actually was gathering momentum as some sort of dark horse candidate with his noise pollution about said document. The one moment when Obama finally proved to have a small degree of political canniness came when he produced the birth certificate, blew up the pompous asshole Trump in a brutally mocking monologue at the White House Correspondent's Dinner and for good measure announced the extra-judicial assassination of one time CIA asset Osama bin Laden the same weekend. That the entire Birther movement blew up as the carnival of idiocy that it always was and the black propaganda campaign that was being prepped and was ready to roll out with another bulk purchase extravaganza book by the loathsome ass Jerome Corsi and promoted by Joseph Farah and Fox went up like so much a bag of flaming dogshit only temporarily halted the onslaught. The armies of darkness that are the fascist shocktroops regrouped and will not so easily be chastened as they troll for killers, brutes and goons and the American Anders Breivik.
Glenn Beck pushes the narrative that Obama has betrayed Israel and as the defacto leader of the Republican fascist Tea Party movement is going to be an integral figure in mustering the troops against the infidel Obama. Beck has already been across the pond hitting the hustings over in God's chosen land, honing his chops for the big show next year by preaching well established lies about the "vaporization of Israel" and accumulating the necessary gravitas with the extremist Netanyahu-Lieberman government to mobilize the domestic fifth-column. Beck has a highly publicized, massive anti-Obama rally slated to be rolled out in the holy land later in August which in another of those slick Orwellian bumper sticker slogans has been dubbed Restoring Courage. The Jerusalem Beck rally that is a warmup to the many domestic Nuremberg style events is being heavily pimped by American Christian fascist groups, notably radical cleric Pat Robertson among many others. The hard core Israeli ideologues have long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the Religious Right, just as they do with European racist groups in promoting the anti-Muslim crusade. Rather than venture too deeply into the wormhole that is the long-running Israeli penetration of U.S. based religious groups, likely much of it through the head of the serpent that is The Council For National Policy , I will save that for another time because there is plenty to be said. Rest assured, the level is ominous and represents, and I am not engaging in excessive hyperbole - an existential threat to whatever remains of our once vibrant democracy.
When Beck is finished polishing his act and the Republican candidates are well into their anti-Muslim rhetoric, a good deal of which is already being pushed by the likes of guaranteed losers like Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin and their ilk look for a multi-billion dollar blitz of rancid propaganda featuring the conjured up threat of the replacement of the Constitution with Sharia Law and the Antichrist that is Barack Hussein Obama as the cat's paw of the reconstructed Islamic caliphate. Leave it to the idiot choir to foment the hatred and rouse the rabble, much like Palin did at her ugly 2008 campaign rallies where the most base instincts of the moral reprobates were sated with accusations that Obama was "palling around with terrorists" and that sleazy little Obsession DVD was sent out in the Sunday papers of millions of Americans in crucial political battleground states. Many of the same people whose work was inspirational to Anders Breivik were also associated with the Obsession DVD including David Horowitz and his malignantly depraved pals. It was no coincidence that Muslim children were gassed at a Dayton, Ohio mosque during Ramadan during that period. The man who is likely going to benefit the most from the ongoing debt ceiling tango by leveraging his Tea Party clout to overthrow the drunken idiot John Boehner as Speaker of the House is one Eric Cantor who has much riding on the promotion of anti-Muslim sentiment. The rising star Cantor is the go to guy in the Republican party when it comes to promoting the interests of Israel over those of the United States. Cantor not only was a co-sponsor of a Capitol Hill screening of the Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West in 2006 but recently also promoted another propaganda film by the Clarion Fund entitled Iranium which advocates a first strike against Iran before it is able to obtain nuclear capability. Look for this meme to be central to the 2012 Republican campaigns. Cantor is of huge value to the extremist Israeli agenda and provides a critical bridge to the Tea Party and the Republican Evangelical Christian base. Note this story from The Baltimore Jewish Times:

There has long been a very sinister campaign to foment anti-Muslim bigotry, the coin of the realm for the neocon right-wing and their Christian Zionist brigades, this has been especially the case since 9/11, the American Reichstag Fire but has spiked with the election of Barack Obama to the presidency. While Obama has still maintained the boot-licking fealty of the United States government towards the state of Israel he has been less deferential to the war-crazed Netanyahu regime than his predecessors. With right-wing Likudniks and their neocon American fifth-column hellbent on igniting a global conflagration that will make WW II look like a skirmish by unleashing an attack on Iran they have found Obama to be a recalcitrant obstacle to their agenda and one that must be removed. It has been monumentally helpful to the Israeli extreme right to have been able to manifest it's policies within the pseudo populist pack of useful idiots that is the Tea Party who will never be able to accept a black man in the WHITE House.
In Obama, pretty much a feckless, worthless stooge of Wall Street looters in my opinion and by the actions of his lamentable administration has proven to be a classic villain to the fascist American right. The very fact that Obama's skin is of a darker pigmentation ensures that there will always be a driving counter-force among that certain element of the population that are hardened, multi-generational racists but when the sleazy insinuations that he is illegitimate resonates throughout the degenerate Republican party base. Note the potency of the incredibly asinine long-running farce about his birth certificate that only came to a head when the ultra-slimy opportunist pigfucker Donald Trump actually was gathering momentum as some sort of dark horse candidate with his noise pollution about said document. The one moment when Obama finally proved to have a small degree of political canniness came when he produced the birth certificate, blew up the pompous asshole Trump in a brutally mocking monologue at the White House Correspondent's Dinner and for good measure announced the extra-judicial assassination of one time CIA asset Osama bin Laden the same weekend. That the entire Birther movement blew up as the carnival of idiocy that it always was and the black propaganda campaign that was being prepped and was ready to roll out with another bulk purchase extravaganza book by the loathsome ass Jerome Corsi and promoted by Joseph Farah and Fox went up like so much a bag of flaming dogshit only temporarily halted the onslaught. The armies of darkness that are the fascist shocktroops regrouped and will not so easily be chastened as they troll for killers, brutes and goons and the American Anders Breivik.
Glenn Beck pushes the narrative that Obama has betrayed Israel and as the defacto leader of the Republican fascist Tea Party movement is going to be an integral figure in mustering the troops against the infidel Obama. Beck has already been across the pond hitting the hustings over in God's chosen land, honing his chops for the big show next year by preaching well established lies about the "vaporization of Israel" and accumulating the necessary gravitas with the extremist Netanyahu-Lieberman government to mobilize the domestic fifth-column. Beck has a highly publicized, massive anti-Obama rally slated to be rolled out in the holy land later in August which in another of those slick Orwellian bumper sticker slogans has been dubbed Restoring Courage. The Jerusalem Beck rally that is a warmup to the many domestic Nuremberg style events is being heavily pimped by American Christian fascist groups, notably radical cleric Pat Robertson among many others. The hard core Israeli ideologues have long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the Religious Right, just as they do with European racist groups in promoting the anti-Muslim crusade. Rather than venture too deeply into the wormhole that is the long-running Israeli penetration of U.S. based religious groups, likely much of it through the head of the serpent that is The Council For National Policy , I will save that for another time because there is plenty to be said. Rest assured, the level is ominous and represents, and I am not engaging in excessive hyperbole - an existential threat to whatever remains of our once vibrant democracy.
When Beck is finished polishing his act and the Republican candidates are well into their anti-Muslim rhetoric, a good deal of which is already being pushed by the likes of guaranteed losers like Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin and their ilk look for a multi-billion dollar blitz of rancid propaganda featuring the conjured up threat of the replacement of the Constitution with Sharia Law and the Antichrist that is Barack Hussein Obama as the cat's paw of the reconstructed Islamic caliphate. Leave it to the idiot choir to foment the hatred and rouse the rabble, much like Palin did at her ugly 2008 campaign rallies where the most base instincts of the moral reprobates were sated with accusations that Obama was "palling around with terrorists" and that sleazy little Obsession DVD was sent out in the Sunday papers of millions of Americans in crucial political battleground states. Many of the same people whose work was inspirational to Anders Breivik were also associated with the Obsession DVD including David Horowitz and his malignantly depraved pals. It was no coincidence that Muslim children were gassed at a Dayton, Ohio mosque during Ramadan during that period. The man who is likely going to benefit the most from the ongoing debt ceiling tango by leveraging his Tea Party clout to overthrow the drunken idiot John Boehner as Speaker of the House is one Eric Cantor who has much riding on the promotion of anti-Muslim sentiment. The rising star Cantor is the go to guy in the Republican party when it comes to promoting the interests of Israel over those of the United States. Cantor not only was a co-sponsor of a Capitol Hill screening of the Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West in 2006 but recently also promoted another propaganda film by the Clarion Fund entitled Iranium which advocates a first strike against Iran before it is able to obtain nuclear capability. Look for this meme to be central to the 2012 Republican campaigns. Cantor is of huge value to the extremist Israeli agenda and provides a critical bridge to the Tea Party and the Republican Evangelical Christian base. Note this story from The Baltimore Jewish Times:
Cantor knows that it's good branding to be known as the only Jewish congressman in the House majority if nothing else, it gives him a monopoly of sorts.
"It increased his influence a thousand-fold," says William Daroff, a lobbyist for the Jewish federation system. When he lends his name to events like a Capitol Hill screening of a new anti-Iran movie, "Iranium," produced by the conservative Clarion Fund, "it just gives it much more of a hechsher [special certification]," Daroff says.
But his efforts to combat earmarks and budget waste come before any ethnic solidarity: Jay Ipson, head of the Virginia Holocaust Museum, says Cantor had proven unwilling to secure federal grants for the organization he'd helped get up and running. "He was at one point thinking about getting us financial help from Washington, but then when the economy started looking not so good, he swore off any assistance for anybody," says Ipson, a Holocaust survivor from Lithuania who is known for wearing a cowboy hat everywhere, including synagogue.
When asked about his Jewish Republican status, Cantor says, "You know, my faith goes with me in everything I do. ... You know, again, I don't think you ever go far from sort of the moral compass that you were given when you were brought up in faith. So I can only say that I grew up in a very active and vibrant Jewish community, and then a larger civic community in Richmond that didn't happen to be Jewish also contributed to who I am and what kind of officeholder I hopefully am."
Many of Cantor's most ardent supporters aren't Jewish. When John McCain called Richard Land, of the Southern Baptist Convention, in the summer of 2008 looking for advice on who to pick as a running mate at a time when Lieberman, who campaigned for McCain, was being mentioned as a contender Land suggested the Arizona senator look at Cantor, who was already doing Jewish outreach for the campaign. (The other person Land recommended in that call was Sarah Palin.)
"Cantor would have helped tremendously in states which would be a very close race, in Virginia, obviously, but in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, and he's the only Republican in Congress who's Jewish and pro-life," says Land. "He stood out as a comer from the very beginning he's very bright, very energetic, very concerned about the issues we care about."

"He stood out as a comer from the very beginning he's very bright, very energetic, very concerned about the issues we care about."
Juanita Duggan, the former Philip Morris lobbyist, echoed Land's comments and told me a story about spiriting Cantor to a Tax Foundation dinner when he was still in freshman orientation, after the 2000 election.
"He knew just what to do," Duggan says proudly. Then, she joked, "I am the honorary chair of the Eric Cantor for President 2012' committee." When I asked her why, she says a Jewish nominee would cement the idea of the GOP as "the pro-Israel party" just as it would also ease the path of a Southern conservative to the White House.
"Having the first Jewish president be a Republican," she says, brightly, "would be a wonderful thing."

Just as Cantor is a player in slyly pushing the anti-Muslim agenda out of his own personal ambition and amoral cynicism to be able to hoodwink the rubes "I pray on Saturday with a Southern accent" as the little snake is quoted in the above piece, so too is another man of great ambition with serious clout with the American fascists. Texas Governor Rick Perry has been more often mentioned as a serious contender for the 2012 Republican nomination as an antidote to the ideologically impure Mitt Romney. Perry is a culture warrior to die for when it comes time to trotting out a champion against the hated Obama and he is backed by the lunatic fringe teabaggers as well as the Christian Right. A recent story that is as scary as it gets states that Perry is now receiving foreign policy prepping by none other than Douglas Feith. Feith, the man who ran the Pentagon Office of Special Plans during the early years of the Bushreich was instrumental in producing the policy paper for Bibi Netanyahu entitled A Clean Break: A New Strategy For Securing the Realm which was a prequel to the notorious doctrine of the Project For The New American Century (PNAC) whose open longing for "A new Pearl Harbor", which was achieved when the World Trade Center was felled on September 11, 2001 has come to define our world ever since.

EDL leader demanded debate on killing David Cameron and archbishop
Alan Lake ran a far-right website where he discussed execution of political and religious leaders and predicted Islamic enclaves
Alan Lake ran a far-right website where he discussed execution of political and religious leaders and predicted Islamic enclaves
- Jamie Doward, Vicus Burger and James Burton

![[Image: Alan-Lake-007.jpg]](http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2011/7/30/1312031355233/Alan-Lake-007.jpg)
A rare photograph of Alan Lake, who said it would be great to see liberals executed or tortured'.
A senior member of the English Defence League, who founded a far-right website carrying articles by bloggers closely monitored by the Norwegian gunman Anders Behring Breivik, published an online essay discussing the execution and torture of the UK's political and religious leaders.
On 23 May 2010, Alan Lake posted on his 4 Freedoms website an article outlining his belief that "in 20 or 30 years the UK will start to fragment into Islamic enclaves". He went on: "It's time we decide... who we will force in the Islamic enclaves (and who we will execute if they sneak out.) By forcing these liberal twits into those enclaves, we will be sending them to their death at worst, and at best they and their families will be subjected to all the depredations, persecution and abuse that non-Muslims worldwide currently 'enjoy' in countries like Pakistan... It will be great to see them executed or tortured to death."
Lake urged visitors to the site to contribute the names of people who should be sent to the Islamic enclaves and made three of his own suggestions. He suggested that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, should be a candidate on the grounds that he "approves of the creation and use of sharia courts". David Cameron, he explained, should be included in the discussion "to help refine our criteria about who deserves to die at the hands of the Muslim overlords". He also included Nick Clegg on the grounds that he is "such an angelic and pure person that he upholds various 'human rights' issues more important than plebeian matters of public safety".
Soon after his posting, Lake removed the references to execution and torture. "I took it back after one day," he said. "I said, 'This doesn't help.' I'm not perfect, I will make mistakes. But the fundamental point of that piece is correct. I am holding people responsible for the consequences of their actions."
In interviews outlining the EDL's philosophy, Lake describes himself as its"events director". He has admitted to loaning the EDL equipment, but denied claims he bankrolls the organisation.
Users of the 4 Freedoms site have posted articles by a far-right blogger known as Fjordman who was extensively cited by Breivik in the 1,500-page manifesto he issued shortly after the mass killings. On a separate far right website, Gates of Vienna, Breivik is believed to have posted a tribute to Fjordman , under the internet pseudonym "year2183".
"Keep up the good work mate," Breivik writes in response to a Fjordman posting. "You are a true hero of Europe, although most ppl [people] won't realise this for a very long time."
Last week Lake issued a statement saying he did not know Breivik and had never met him: "I categorically condemn his actions, which have also killed friends of a friend of mine one in Oslo and two on Utøya island." But Lake said he would continue his support for the EDL. "England is the only country that has anything like the EDL, a large grassroots movement that is raising issues that you are not supposed to raise," he said. "They reopen the debate."
Lake has spoken at far-right rallies in Sweden and on Norwegian television, where he has warned that Europe is in danger of becoming an Islamic state. Responding to a march by Muslims in Britain calling for the imposition of sharia law, Lake told the Norwegian channel 2 Nyhetene: "They are seeking the overthrow of the state. As far as I am concerned, I'll be happy to execute people like that."
Some of his comments have alarmed even those close to the EDL. Paul Ray, a right-wing Christian blogger, who founded the EDL in 2006 and who has denied being Breivik's mentor, said: "As things have gone on, it's become apparent how extreme [Lake's] views are. This is a guy directing an extreme far-right movement in the UK."
Ray said Lake played an important role in linking the EDL to influential far-right communities online. "The anti-jihad movement isn't your mainstream press, it's all online [far-right] blogs and websites and Lake has been able to keep them on board. They [Tommy Robinson, the EDL's leader] know that without this online presence they won't have any support."
Fjordman has condemned the killings in Norway and in an online posting said he would not be responding to calls for interviews. The EDL has also condemned Breivik's actions.

Anders Behring Breivik, according to his defense attorney Geir Lippe City, had called the police from Utøya.

julie.haugen.egge @ nrk.no
Published 7:02 p.m. 8/1/11
The Event sets Lippe City apart on the question of Behring Breivik even having contacted the police from Utøya.
- He testified that he called the police, but I'm not familiar with the content, says Lippe City to Aftenposten.no.
Last Friday, Anders Behring Breivik began with a in a new, multiple-hour long interrogation by the police in Oslo.
The interrogation was first and foremost a reading of the explanation he had given during the first interrogation; but Lippe City confirmed to NRK that it also brought out some new things.
- He's been asked some new questions, and there has emerged something new, but I do not want to comment specifically on this; furthermore, it has no significance for the two events on which he is charged.
- It is very consistent with the first interrogation, said the defender.
- Have you received any information that your client had been Utøya before the attack?
- That I can not say. There has been an important theme in the interviews, as of yet. There has been no explanation as to whether he has been on Utøya before.
- How to behave himself in the interrogation?
- The police said something like that he volunteers explanations. I can say that he still seems untouched.
- Does he have a rehearsed statement, or does he answer direct questions?
- He answers the questions.
- Taking his time to reflect when he answers?
- No, he responds willingly, and more.
Lippe City said his client has been informed by the police how many people had died in the horrific terrorist attacks in Oslo and Utøya Friday 22 July.
Since he was arrested Behring Breivik has asked several questions about the case.
- He has raised questions about the reactions. He has raised questions about how many were injured and how many dead; and he has raised questions about the press reaction, says Lippe City to NRK.
- What should you respond?
- I answer in general terms and facts. The police have made him aware of how many are dead, but he does not know how many are injured. He knows that there is a big media event, says his attorney
- What does he do?
He takes in the information quietly, like a child.

From Wiki:Quote:LogosAnother one from their website:
The AWB flag is composed of three black sevens (forming a triskelion) in a white circle upon a red background. According to AWB, the sevens, 'the number of JAHWEH', 'stand to oppose the number 666, the number of the anti-Christ'. Red is considered to represent Jesus' blood, while black stands for bravery and courage. The inner white circle symbolizes the "eternal struggle", or according to other sources "eternal life".[20] The flag bears a resemblance to the Swastika flag used by the Nazi Party and Nazi Germany.[21]

Reminds me of something.....? Let me think....
Magda - yes.
It is precisely this type of pseudo-occult tosh that characterizes the Order 777 and KTE material.
The iconography was NOT assembled and transmogrified by initiates, or genuine occultists. Rather, it has the lack of authenticity of an exploitative computer game.
The Order 777 and KTE videos are "calls to arms" for extreme right-wing elements in the C21st where the bogeymen are not baby-eating Jews or subhuman Slavs, but Muslims and those who would "promote the Islamicization of Europe and the world".
As I wrote:
Jan Klimkowski Wrote:So, superficially, the Order 777 video is insane.
However, it can also be seen as a psyop to create the idea of Christian Freedom Fighters, a Christian Mujahadeen to fight Islam.
Of course the Islamic Mujahadeen are largely a creation of western intelligence, to further Strategy of Tension aims of fomenting Fear and Terror, to destablize geopolitically important countries, and to run drugs, guns and people.
Many of the groups identified as potential Christian Crusaders already have well established track records as drugs, gun and human traffickers, and for committing atrocities.
Welcome to the New Crusades.
The military-multinational-intelligence complex is in the process of creating Christian Crusaders to wage a campaign of Fear and Terror against civlians in a mirror Jihad, a perverted holy war.
As a further layer of Complexity, or perhaps Revelation, Keith's insight below is valuable:

August 1-3, 2011 -- Israeli co-option of Europe's far-right political parties
Norwegian terrorist killer Anders Behring Breivik has been regaling Norwegian law enforcement investigators with greater plans for conducting terrorist attacks and even a coup d'etat against the Norwegian government. However, when it comes to like-minded cells operating in Europe and elsewhere, Behring has been closed-mouth. Breivik resistance to spilling the beans on colleagues in countries he has previously visited -- from Belarus and Malta and the United States to Mexico -- coincides with a number of dubious statements from European law enforcement officials that insist that Breivik is a crazed "lone wolf."
Breivik's terrorist connections to groups like the English Defense League (EDL) in Britain and Knights Templar organizations in Malta and Mexico suggest that Breivik is one cog in a larger operation that has re-adopted the past terrorist tactics of CIA "stay-behind" fascist cells in Europe, generically known as "Gladio" networks, that, during the 1970s and 80s, carried out terrorist attacks that were blamed on leftist groups.
Although various media outlets, known to bend and succumb to the pressure applied by Israel and its global sympathizers, tried to downplay the connections between Breivik and his allies in Zionist circles in Israel and Europe, no less than the Jerusalem Post, an echo chamber for Zionist and neo-conservative interests, reported that Breivik was "motivated by Zionism" in carrying out his deadly attack in Norway.
In fact, Breivik had a keen interest in one such stay-behind network in Turkey, a network that transformed itself into the Israeli Mossad-linked Ergenekon network, which may still be active against the Justice and Development (AK) Party of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The recent en masse resignation of Turkey's top military commanders and the past involvement of Ergenekon in military coups, attempted coups, and false flag terrorist attacks suggest that the events in Oslo and Ankara may be linked to a wider destabilization effort conducted by Brievik and his allied neo-Nazi colleagues, all of whom have been linked to Israeli far-right wing groups and extreme Zionist factions inside the Israeli government.
Law enforcement officials across Europe have been downplaying Breivik international connections, preferring to describe him as a "lone wolf." However, the connections of Israeli intelligence, security "consultants," and security system manufacturers to European law enforcement agencies is very apparent and many law enforcement agencies would have no interest in pursuing Breivik international network lest Israel's own connections to it are also revealed. In fact, former French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas, in a new book, has charged that Israel controls the French intelligence agencies.
In 2007, Israeli police arrested a number of Jewish neo-Nazis in Israel, most of whom were emigrants from the former Soviet Union. The neo-Nazis had launched attacks on non-whites, gays, and religious Jews.
In recent years, European far-right political parties have made common cause with such right-wing Israeli parties as Likud led by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Yisrael Beiteinu led by the Jewish racist Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. The German magazine Spiegel has highlighted the growing relationship between heretofore anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi far-right European political parties and Israel's right-wing parties. Spiegel's report focused on particularly close ties between Israelis and the Freedom Party of Austria, the National Front of France, the Flemish Vlaams Belang, the National Democratic Party of Germany, the German Freedom Party, True Finns Party of Finland, and te Northern League of Italy.
The English Defense League (EDL), which had links to Breivik and the Norwegian Defense League, also has a Jewish Division, both of which have found warm welcomes in Israel. The EDL has also made common cause with Dutch politician Geert Wilders's anti-Islamic Freedom Party and hosted Wilders at a public rally in London last year. Wilders spent his teenage years on a kibbutz in Israel. Breivik also maintained links with the far-right Irish Defense League.
Breivik has been linked to Malta-based Paul Ray, aka "Lionheart" and Paul Sonato, a leader of the resurgent Knights Templar (Pauperes Commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici (PCCTS)) group of ultra-right and anti-Muslim extremists. Ray fled Britain in 2008 after an arrest warrant was issued for his hate-filled Internet postings. According to the Daily Telegraph, Ray is associated with a German ex-neo-Nazi named Nick Greger, aka "Nazi Nick" and "Mad Nick," who has operated out of Liberia with a group of neo-Nazis called "Order 777," comprised of ex-Serbian security service SF Red Beret commandos, Ulster Freedom Fighters and Ulster Defense Association from Northern Ireland, Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging fascists from South Africa, and mercenary veterans from civil wars in Congo and Liberia.
Ray is also linked to the EDL, particularly its chief finance officer Alan Lake who is reported to have met Breivik in 2002 in London. INTERPOL has requested the Maltese police to investigate Ray's ties to Breivik. The presence of a far-right and racist network in Malta is noteworthy. Malta has served as an important base of operations for the Libyan National Transition Council, headquartered in Benghazi, but which has been responsible for carrying out systematic murders of black Libyans and black African guest workers. In fact, there is a strong racist element among many of the white Arab members of the National Transition Council.
The attitudes of some members of the far-right network seems to be at odds with the blanket racism associated with many of the component political parties. The goals of the global fascist network appear connected more to ousting socialist and left-wing governments and fighting Muslims with non-white bed fellows than in practicing across-the-board racism. For example. Breivik was full of praise for India's right-wing Hindu nationalists, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as well as Chinese Buddhists who oppose Chinese Muslims in Xinjiang in western China.
The resurgent Knights Templar has been connected by CNN to a similar organization in Mexico, where Breivik reportedly visited. The Knights Templar in Mexico was referred to as a "cartel" by CNN. The CNN report also cited the Mexican Knights Templar to the violent terrorist-religious cult called "La Familia," which has been responsible for a series of gruesome mass murders, including beheading of its victims. The main branch of La Familia is active in the state of Michoacan, where it id known as La Familia Michoacana.
The La Familia drug cartel has been fighting a war against the Los Zetas cartel, which has received weapons courtesy of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) as part of "Operation Fast and Furious." An all-out war has broken out in Mexico between rival drug cartels and the Knights Templar link to La Familia suggests that right-wing interests in Europe and the United States are playing both sides in the Mexican conflict. The Drug Enforcement Administration and FBI were reportedly knowledgeable about Fast and Furious and the U.S. government gun-running to Mexico.
The ATF has a sordid history of employing a number of agents who are racists in the same mold as Breivik colleagues in Europe. In the 1980s and 90s, ATF agents, as well as Justice and Treasury Department officials, were discovered to be attending racist "Good O' Boy Roundups in eastern Tennessee. The outings were notorious for signs that read "Nigger check point" and T-shirts that bore an image of Martin Luther King, Jr. in gun sight cross hairs. In 1995, then-Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin vowed to investigate the ATF agents but initial interest in the scandal receded after several media outlets brought light to the annual racist event.
It was not merely the far-right violent political movements that were linked to Breivik political goals but members of some "main stream" xenophobic right-wing political parties in Europe associated themselves with Breivik's extremist ideology. For example, Italian Member of the European Parliament Mario Borghezio of the Northern League, part of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's governing coalition, voiced support for Breivik "ideas." Francesco Speroni, the leader of the Northern League, defended Borghezio's remarks. French National Front politician Jacques Coutela compared Brievik to the French seventh century leader Charles Martel who defeated the invading Moors in battle. Erik Hellsborn, a member of the Sweden Democrats, a far-right anti-immigration party represented in the Swedish Parliament, also said he understood why Breivik resorted to taking such actions in opposition to "multiculturalism."
Breivik has told Norwegian police that he planned to blow up the Royal Palace, the Norwegian Parliament, and the headquarters of the Norwegian Labor Party. Ergenekon's Operation Sledgehammer in 2006 saw "false flag" terrorist attacks carried out in Istanbul. The headquarters of the newspaper Cumhuriyet in Istanbul was bombed and a gunman opened fire in the State Council in Ankara, killing one judge and wounding four others. The similarities between the Ergenekon attacks in Turkey and Breivik's actual and planned attacks in Norway are striking. Breivik's "Phase 3" of his manifesto called for pan-European coups d'etat and the expulsion of Muslims and execution of European "traitors."
Far from being a "lone wolf," Breivik's world travels indicate that he was part of a wdie-reaching fascist network. Breivik has visited Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Belarus, France, Austria, Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Switzerland, the United States, Turkey, Mexico, China, Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire, and Liberia. Breivik allegedly received paramilitary training in Belarus, where local security officials referred to him by the code name "Viking," and made contact with far-right political parties in Croatia. He also allegedly received plastic surgery in the United States to make himself appear more "Aryan" looking.

Norwegian terrorist killer Anders Behring Breivik has been regaling Norwegian law enforcement investigators with greater plans for conducting terrorist attacks and even a coup d'etat against the Norwegian government. However, when it comes to like-minded cells operating in Europe and elsewhere, Behring has been closed-mouth. Breivik resistance to spilling the beans on colleagues in countries he has previously visited -- from Belarus and Malta and the United States to Mexico -- coincides with a number of dubious statements from European law enforcement officials that insist that Breivik is a crazed "lone wolf."
Breivik's terrorist connections to groups like the English Defense League (EDL) in Britain and Knights Templar organizations in Malta and Mexico suggest that Breivik is one cog in a larger operation that has re-adopted the past terrorist tactics of CIA "stay-behind" fascist cells in Europe, generically known as "Gladio" networks, that, during the 1970s and 80s, carried out terrorist attacks that were blamed on leftist groups.
Although various media outlets, known to bend and succumb to the pressure applied by Israel and its global sympathizers, tried to downplay the connections between Breivik and his allies in Zionist circles in Israel and Europe, no less than the Jerusalem Post, an echo chamber for Zionist and neo-conservative interests, reported that Breivik was "motivated by Zionism" in carrying out his deadly attack in Norway.
In fact, Breivik had a keen interest in one such stay-behind network in Turkey, a network that transformed itself into the Israeli Mossad-linked Ergenekon network, which may still be active against the Justice and Development (AK) Party of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The recent en masse resignation of Turkey's top military commanders and the past involvement of Ergenekon in military coups, attempted coups, and false flag terrorist attacks suggest that the events in Oslo and Ankara may be linked to a wider destabilization effort conducted by Brievik and his allied neo-Nazi colleagues, all of whom have been linked to Israeli far-right wing groups and extreme Zionist factions inside the Israeli government.
Law enforcement officials across Europe have been downplaying Breivik international connections, preferring to describe him as a "lone wolf." However, the connections of Israeli intelligence, security "consultants," and security system manufacturers to European law enforcement agencies is very apparent and many law enforcement agencies would have no interest in pursuing Breivik international network lest Israel's own connections to it are also revealed. In fact, former French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas, in a new book, has charged that Israel controls the French intelligence agencies.
In 2007, Israeli police arrested a number of Jewish neo-Nazis in Israel, most of whom were emigrants from the former Soviet Union. The neo-Nazis had launched attacks on non-whites, gays, and religious Jews.
In recent years, European far-right political parties have made common cause with such right-wing Israeli parties as Likud led by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Yisrael Beiteinu led by the Jewish racist Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. The German magazine Spiegel has highlighted the growing relationship between heretofore anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi far-right European political parties and Israel's right-wing parties. Spiegel's report focused on particularly close ties between Israelis and the Freedom Party of Austria, the National Front of France, the Flemish Vlaams Belang, the National Democratic Party of Germany, the German Freedom Party, True Finns Party of Finland, and te Northern League of Italy.
The English Defense League (EDL), which had links to Breivik and the Norwegian Defense League, also has a Jewish Division, both of which have found warm welcomes in Israel. The EDL has also made common cause with Dutch politician Geert Wilders's anti-Islamic Freedom Party and hosted Wilders at a public rally in London last year. Wilders spent his teenage years on a kibbutz in Israel. Breivik also maintained links with the far-right Irish Defense League.
Breivik has been linked to Malta-based Paul Ray, aka "Lionheart" and Paul Sonato, a leader of the resurgent Knights Templar (Pauperes Commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici (PCCTS)) group of ultra-right and anti-Muslim extremists. Ray fled Britain in 2008 after an arrest warrant was issued for his hate-filled Internet postings. According to the Daily Telegraph, Ray is associated with a German ex-neo-Nazi named Nick Greger, aka "Nazi Nick" and "Mad Nick," who has operated out of Liberia with a group of neo-Nazis called "Order 777," comprised of ex-Serbian security service SF Red Beret commandos, Ulster Freedom Fighters and Ulster Defense Association from Northern Ireland, Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging fascists from South Africa, and mercenary veterans from civil wars in Congo and Liberia.
Ray is also linked to the EDL, particularly its chief finance officer Alan Lake who is reported to have met Breivik in 2002 in London. INTERPOL has requested the Maltese police to investigate Ray's ties to Breivik. The presence of a far-right and racist network in Malta is noteworthy. Malta has served as an important base of operations for the Libyan National Transition Council, headquartered in Benghazi, but which has been responsible for carrying out systematic murders of black Libyans and black African guest workers. In fact, there is a strong racist element among many of the white Arab members of the National Transition Council.
The attitudes of some members of the far-right network seems to be at odds with the blanket racism associated with many of the component political parties. The goals of the global fascist network appear connected more to ousting socialist and left-wing governments and fighting Muslims with non-white bed fellows than in practicing across-the-board racism. For example. Breivik was full of praise for India's right-wing Hindu nationalists, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as well as Chinese Buddhists who oppose Chinese Muslims in Xinjiang in western China.
The resurgent Knights Templar has been connected by CNN to a similar organization in Mexico, where Breivik reportedly visited. The Knights Templar in Mexico was referred to as a "cartel" by CNN. The CNN report also cited the Mexican Knights Templar to the violent terrorist-religious cult called "La Familia," which has been responsible for a series of gruesome mass murders, including beheading of its victims. The main branch of La Familia is active in the state of Michoacan, where it id known as La Familia Michoacana.
The La Familia drug cartel has been fighting a war against the Los Zetas cartel, which has received weapons courtesy of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) as part of "Operation Fast and Furious." An all-out war has broken out in Mexico between rival drug cartels and the Knights Templar link to La Familia suggests that right-wing interests in Europe and the United States are playing both sides in the Mexican conflict. The Drug Enforcement Administration and FBI were reportedly knowledgeable about Fast and Furious and the U.S. government gun-running to Mexico.
The ATF has a sordid history of employing a number of agents who are racists in the same mold as Breivik colleagues in Europe. In the 1980s and 90s, ATF agents, as well as Justice and Treasury Department officials, were discovered to be attending racist "Good O' Boy Roundups in eastern Tennessee. The outings were notorious for signs that read "Nigger check point" and T-shirts that bore an image of Martin Luther King, Jr. in gun sight cross hairs. In 1995, then-Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin vowed to investigate the ATF agents but initial interest in the scandal receded after several media outlets brought light to the annual racist event.
It was not merely the far-right violent political movements that were linked to Breivik political goals but members of some "main stream" xenophobic right-wing political parties in Europe associated themselves with Breivik's extremist ideology. For example, Italian Member of the European Parliament Mario Borghezio of the Northern League, part of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's governing coalition, voiced support for Breivik "ideas." Francesco Speroni, the leader of the Northern League, defended Borghezio's remarks. French National Front politician Jacques Coutela compared Brievik to the French seventh century leader Charles Martel who defeated the invading Moors in battle. Erik Hellsborn, a member of the Sweden Democrats, a far-right anti-immigration party represented in the Swedish Parliament, also said he understood why Breivik resorted to taking such actions in opposition to "multiculturalism."
Breivik has told Norwegian police that he planned to blow up the Royal Palace, the Norwegian Parliament, and the headquarters of the Norwegian Labor Party. Ergenekon's Operation Sledgehammer in 2006 saw "false flag" terrorist attacks carried out in Istanbul. The headquarters of the newspaper Cumhuriyet in Istanbul was bombed and a gunman opened fire in the State Council in Ankara, killing one judge and wounding four others. The similarities between the Ergenekon attacks in Turkey and Breivik's actual and planned attacks in Norway are striking. Breivik's "Phase 3" of his manifesto called for pan-European coups d'etat and the expulsion of Muslims and execution of European "traitors."
Far from being a "lone wolf," Breivik's world travels indicate that he was part of a wdie-reaching fascist network.

Breivik allegedly received paramilitary training in Belarus, where local security officials referred to him by the code name "Viking," and made contact with far-right political parties in Croatia. He also allegedly received plastic surgery in the United States to make himself appear more "Aryan" looking.

Anders Behring Breivik (Norwegian pronunciation: ['É‘nəʂ 'beËɾiÅ‹ 'bɾæɪʋiËk]; born 13 February 1979)[1] is a Norwegian right-wing extremist[6] and the confessed perpetrator[7][8] of the dual terrorist attacks in Norway on 22 July 2011: a bombing of government buildings in Oslo that caused eight deaths, and a mass shooting at a camp of the Workers' Youth League (AUF) of the Labour Party on the island of Utøya, where he killed 69 people, mostly teenagers.[9][10][11]
Breivik's far-right[12] militant ideology is described in a collection of texts written by himself and by others, titled 2083 A European Declaration of Independence and distributed electronically by Breivik on the day of the attacks[12][13] under the anglicised pseudonym Andrew Berwick.[14][15] In it he lays out his xenophobic worldview, which includes support for varying degrees of cultural conservatism, right-wing populism, ultranationalism, Islamophobia, far-right Zionism and Serbian paramilitarism.[12][16] It further argues for the violent annihilation of Islam, "Eurabia", "cultural Marxism", and multiculturalism, to preserve a Christian Europe.[12][17][18][19][20]
Breivik has confessed to what he calls "atrocious but necessary" actions, but denies criminal responsibility.[21][22] Breivik claimed contact with Norwegian and international far-right political movements,[23][24] and claims to belong to an international anti-Islam network with two cells in Norway and more in other countries. Police and experts doubt these claims but have not dismissed them completely.[22]
On 25 July 2011, Breivik was charged with "destabilising or destroying basic functions of society" and "creating serious fear in the population",[22] acts of terrorism under the criminal law, and ordered held for eight weeksthe first four in solitary confinementpending further court proceedings.[10][25] Prosecutors are considering charging him with crimes against humanity under a 2008 law.[26]Contents [hide]

Biography
Breivik was born in Oslo, on 13 February 1979,[27] the son of Wenche Behring, a nurse, and Jens David Breivik, a Siviløkonom (Norwegian professional title, literally "civil economist"), who worked as a diplomat for the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London and later Paris.[28] He spent the first year of his life in London until his parents divorced when he was one year old. His father, who later married a diplomat, fought for his custody but failed. Breivik lived with his mother and his half sister in the west-end of Oslo and regularly visited his father and stepmother in France, until they divorced when he was 12. His mother also remarried, to a Norwegian Army officer.[29]
Breivik attended Smestad Grammar School, Ris Junior High, Hartvig Nissen High School and Oslo Commerce School.[30] A former classmate has recalled that he was an intelligent student who often took care of people who were bullied.[31] When he reached adolescence, Breivik's behaviour became more rebellious and wayward. He and his gang of friends would reportedly spend their evenings hanging around in Oslo, spraying tags and graffiti on buildings. He later wrote that after he was caught spraying graffiti on walls, his father stopped contact with him. They have not been in contact since then.[30] In 1997, at age 19, he lost 2 million kroner ($369,556[32]) in the stock market. At age 21, he had plastic surgery performed to reshape his forehead, nose and chin.[33] Breivik criticised both of his parents for supporting the policies of the Norwegian Labour Party, and his mother for being a moderate feminist. He wrote about his upbringing: "I do not approve of the super-liberal, matriarchal upbringing as it completely lacked discipline and has contributed to feminising me to a certain degree."
Breivik's father, who currently lives in France as a pensioner, has confirmed that he has had no contact with his son since 1995.[34] His home in the south of France was surrounded by gendarmes following the murders.[35][36] They initially said they were searching the premises,[37] but later the state prosecutor at Carcassonne said that the gendarmes were to protect Breivik and his wife.[30] The local mayor's office said Breivik had requested protection against harassment from journalists.[38] After the attack, Jens Breivik is quoted as saying "I don't feel like his father", and "How could he just stand there and kill so many innocent people and just seem to think that what he did was OK? He should have taken his own life, too. That's what he should have done", adding "I will have to live with this shame for the rest of my life."[37] Breivik's mother has reportedly left her home after her son's arrest and is staying at a secret location.[39]
Breivik was exempt from conscription in the Norwegian Army and has no military training.[40] In his manifesto, Breivik described how he avoided his mandatory military service in the Norwegian Army three times, by claiming he would not put his life on the line for Norway's political parties.
For some time after 2000, Breivik was in the customer service department of an unnamed company, working with "people from all countries" and being "kind to everyone".[41] A former co-worker has described him as an "exceptional colleague",[42] while a close friend of his stated that he usually had a big ego and would be easily irritated by those of Middle Eastern or South Asian origin.[43] Breivik claims that he started a nine-year-plan to finance the attack in 2002, founding his own "computer programming" business while working at the customer service company. He claims that his company grew to six employees and "several offshore bank accounts", and that he made his first million at the age of 24.[44] The company was later declared bankrupt and Breivik was reported for several breaches of the law.[45] To save money, he moved back to his mother's home. His declared assets in 2007 were about 630,000 Norwegian kroner ($116,410[32]), according to Norwegian tax authority figures.[41] He claims that by 2008 he had about two million Norwegian kroner ($369,556[32]) and nine credit cards giving him access to €26,000 in credit.[44]
In May 2009 he founded a farming company under the name "Breivik Geofarm",[46] described as a farming sole proprietorship set up to cultivate vegetables, melons, roots and tubers.[47] In the same year he visited Prague in an attempt to buy illegal weapons. The attempt was a failure, and Breivik decided to obtain weapons through legal channels instead.[48] He had no declared income in 2009 and his fortune amounted to 390,000 Norwegian kroner ($72,063[32]), according to Norwegian tax authority figures.[41] In January 2010 he states that his funds are "depleting gradually". On 23 June 2011, a month before the attacks, he paid the outstanding amount on his nine credit cards in order to have access to funds while he continued his preparations.[44] In late June or early July 2011, he moved to a rural area south of Ã…sta in Ã…mot, Hedmark county, about 140 km (86 miles) northeast of Oslo,[49] the site of his farm. Immediately after the attack there was speculation that he could have used the company as a cover to legally obtain large amounts of artificial fertiliser and other chemicals for the manufacturing of explosives.[49] A farming supplier sold Breivik's company six tonnes of fertiliser in May.[50] Newspaper Verdens Gang reported that after Breivik bought large amounts of fertiliser from an online shop in Poland, his name was among 60 passed to the Police Security Service (PST) by Norwegian Customs as having used the store to buy products. Speaking to the newspaper, Jon Fitje of PST said the information they found gave no indication of anything suspicious. Despite this, the security service accessed his phone and email but only for 24 hours. In his manifesto Breivik described his first experiments with the fertiliser nitrate explosives before detailing a successful test detonation at a remote location on 13 June 2011.[51] He sets the cost of the preparations for the attacks at 317,000 euros - "130,000 out of pocket and 187,500 euros in lost revenue over three years." [sic][41]

Main article: 2011 Norway attacks
On 22 July 2011, Breivik went to Utøya island, the site of a Labour Party youth camp, posing as a police officer and then opened fire on the unarmed adolescents present, reportedly killing 69.[11][52][53] The youngest victim being Sharidyn Svebakk-Bøhn (17/07/1997-22/07/2011[54] ), who had just turned 14 years old, her blog was purpleinstyle.blogg.no [55] and describes the days before her murder.[56][57] Breivik has also been linked with the bomb blasts which had taken place approximately two hours earlier in Oslo, killing eight people. Six hours before the attacks, Breivik posted a YouTube video urging conservatives to "embrace martyrdom" and showing himself wearing a compression garment and pointing a rifle.[58] He also posted a picture of himself pretending to be a military officer in a costume festooned with gold braid and multiple medals.[59] When armed police arrived on the island and confronted him, he surrendered without resistance.[60]
Breivik confessed and stated the purpose of the attack was to save Norway and Western Europe from a Muslim takeover and "[t]he price for this they had to pay yesterday." Ian Stephen, a retired forensic clinical psychologist, said Breivik knew what he was doing but is clearly a psychopath.[61] After arrest and outside court, Breivik was met with an angry crowd, some of whom shouted "burn in hell", while some used stronger words.[53][62][63]
Breivik's lawyer has stated that Breivik may be insane.[64] The chief of the Norwegian Police Security Service disputes the claim Breivik is insane saying "His lawyer is not a psychologist and neither am I. But I have previously been a defense attorney and I perceive him as a sane person because he has been so focused over such a long time."[65] Breivik is currently undergoing examination by court-appointed psychiatrists[66]. Experts have publically questioned the lawyer's claim, and instead tend to describe Breivik as sane, yet severely narcissistic (Dr. Svenn Torgersen)[67] and a "violent true believer"[68] (Dr. J. Reid Meloy)[69] Breivik said he was using testosterone in the days before the attack, saying he had become more aggressive after coming off testosterone supplements.[70][71]
The first funerals of the victims commenced on 29 July 2011, the first being for Bano Rashid, aged 18.[72][73]
Writings
Forums
Janne Kristiansen, Chief of the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST), has stated that Breivik "deliberately desisted from violent exhortations on the net [and] has more or less been a moderate, and has neither been part of any extremist network."[74] He is reported to have written many posts on the Islam-critical[75] website document.no.[76] He also attended meetings of "Documents venner" (Friends of Document), affiliated with the website.[77] Due to the media attention on his Internet activity following the 2011 attacks, document.no compiled a complete list of comments made by Breivik on its website between September 2009 and June 2010.[78][79][80]
In his writings Breivik displays admiration for the English Defence League (EDL), expressing an interest in starting a similar organisation in Norway, and writing that he had advised them to pursue a strategy of provoking overreaction from "Jihad Youth/Extreme-Marxists" which in turn might draw more people to join the organisation.[17][81] On 25 July 2011 British Prime Minister David Cameron announced a review of Britain's own security following the attacks.[82] EDL issued a statement denouncing terror as a tool on 26 July 2011.[83] Some editorialists criticised the EDL and other anti-Muslim groups in this context.[23][84][85] Dagens Næringsliv writes that Breivik sought to start a Norwegian version of the Tea Party movement in cooperation with the owners of document.no, but that they, after expressing initial interest, ultimately turned down his proposal because he did not have the contacts he promised.[86] He also expressed his admiration of the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin (Putinism), finding him "a fair and resolute leader worth of respect", though he was "unsure at this point whether he has the potential to be our best friend or our worst enemy." Putin's spokesperson Dmitri Peskov has denounced Breivik's actions as the "delirium of a madman".[87]
Personal manifesto
Breivik posing in a wet suit, in a photo released with his manifesto six hours before the attacks. The insignia on his left shoulder reads: "Marxist Hunter - Norway - Multiculti traitor hunting permit".[88]
Breivik compiled a 1,516-page manifesto entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence (a reference to the unsuccessful second Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683[89]), under the pseudonym "Andrew Berwick", which he e-mailed to 1,003 addresses about 90 minutes before the bomb blast in Oslo.[90] In the manifesto, which is part political discussion, part confessional, and part action plan, Breivik sets out his belief that his actions will help to spark a civil war in Europe that will last for decades, progressing through three distinct phases and culminating in 2083 with the extermination of European Marxists and the expulsion of Muslims from Europe.[91]
The introductory chapter of the manifesto defining "Cultural Marxism" is a copy of Political Correctness: A Short History of an Ideology by the Free Congress Foundation.[92][93][94] Major parts of the manifesto are attributed to the pseudonymous Norwegian blogger Fjordman.[95] The text also copies sections of the Unabomber manifesto, without giving credit, while exchanging the words "leftists" for "cultural Marxists" and "black people" for "muslims".[96] The New York Times described American influences in Brevik's writings, noting that he mentions the anti-Islamist American Robert Spencer 64 times in his manifesto and cites Spencer's works at great length.[97] The work of the Egyptian born Jewish author Bat Ye'or [98] is cited dozens of times.[99] Neocon blogger Pamela Geller,[100] Middle-eastern expert Bernard Lewis,[101] Neo-pagan writer Koenraad Elst [102] and neo-conservative Daniel Pipes are also mentioned as Breivik's sources of inspiration.[103] The pamphlet also quotes from Jeremy Clarkson's Sunday Times column as well as Melanie Phillips' Daily Mail column.[104] Breivik also admires Ayaan Hirsi Ali (who he thinks deserves the Nobel Prize), Bruce Bawer, Srđa Trifković,[105] and Henryk M. Broder.[106]
In the manifesto, Breivik considers himself "a real European hero", "the saviour of Christianity" and "the greatest defender of cultural-conservatism in Europe since 1950".[107] Breivik wants to see European policies on multiculturalism and immigration more similar to those of Japan and South Korea,[108] which he said are "not far from cultural conservatism and nationalism at its best".[18] He expressed his admiration for the "monoculturalism" of Japan and for the two nations' refusal to accept refugees.[109][110]
Breivik's manifesto also advocates a restoration of patriarchy which would be necessary to save European culture. Breivik promises that if his movement wins they "will re-establish the patriarchal structures".[111][112]
Political and religious views
Islamophobia
Following his apprehension, Breivik was characterized by officials as being a right-wing extremist. The acting police chief said the suspect's Internet postings "suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and Islamophobia views, but if that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen." He was at first described by many in the media as a Christian Fundamentalist, Christian terrorist, nationalist and right-wing extremist,[6][20][53][113][114][115] Although self-identified as a Christian, others have questioned whether Breivik was in fact a fundamentalist Christian or even a Christian at all.[116][117] He claims that the European Union is a project to create "Eurabia"[118][119][120] and describes the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia as being authorised by "criminal western European and American leaders".[121] The Jerusalem Post describes him as pro-Israel and strongly opposed to Islam, and asserts that his manifesto includes "extreme screed of Islamophobia" and "far-right Zionism".[12]
Breivik claimed he had contact with the English Defence League (EDL)[23] and claimed to have been involved with the Norwegian Defence League (NDL),[24] The NDL had held a failed rally in Norway in April 2011[122] EDL leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon denounced Breivik and the attack on 26 July 2011 and has denied any links with the Norwegian.[83]
He sympathises with the Serbian paramilitarism.[16] He demands the gradual deportation of all Muslims from Europe from 2011 to 2083.[91] He blames feminism for allowing the erosion of the fabric of European society.[123] In his manifesto he also urges the Hindu nationalists to drive Muslims out of India.[124]

Breivik chose to be baptised into the Protestant Church of Norway at the age of 15.[125][126] In 2009, he wrote that he supports "an indirect collective conversion of the Protestant church back to the Catholic".[127] On his Facebook profile, Breivik described himself as a Christian,[17][128] though he is critical of the Catholic and Protestant churches, objecting to their "current suicidal path".[108] Before the attacks, he stated an intention to attend Frogner Church in a final "Martyr's mass".[129]
In his manifesto, he describes himself as "100 percent Christian",[125] but adds that he is not "excessively religious"[125] and considers himself a "cultural Christian" and a "modern-day crusader".[116][125] His manifesto states "I'm not going to pretend I'm a very religious person, as that would be a lie", calls religion a crutch and a source for drawing mental strength, and says "I've always been very pragmatic and influenced by my secular surroundings and environment"; regarding the term "cultural Christian" which he says means preserving European culture, he notes "It is enough that you are a Christian-agnostic or a Christian atheist (an atheist who wants to preserve at least the basics of the European Christian cultural legacy..." in order to join his intended "Christian movement"...[115][117][130] Furthermore, Breivik stated that "myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God."[131][132] Nevertheless, he stated that he planned to pray to God seeking for his help during his attacks.[133]
Breivik condemns Pope Benedict XVI for his dialogue with Islam: "Pope Benedict has abandoned Christianity and all Christian Europeans and is to be considered a cowardly, incompetent, corrupt and illegitimate Pope." It will thus be necessary, writes Breivik, to overthrow the Protestant and Catholic hierarchies, after which a "Great Christian Congress" would set up a new European Church.[134] He has also condemned Christian missionary activity in India as it would lead to the "total destruction of the Hindu faith and culture", and he expresses support for the Hindutva movement against Indian Communist movements.[135]
American Christian press has also highlighted that Breivik appears to have addressed followers of the Neopagan religion of Odinism the ethnocentric branch of Greater European Heathenry in his writ. In regards to them, he says, "even Odinists can fight with us or by our side as brothers" in the Knights Templar organization that Breivik claims to be a founding member of. He later says to reject Odinism, saying that the Thor's Hammer cannot unify the people of Europe, but that the Christian cross will.[136]
Deputy police chief Roger Andresen initially told reporters that information on Breivik's websites was "so to speak, Christian fundamentalist"[53][137][138][139] Subsequently, others have disputed Andresen's characterisation of Breivik as a Christian fundamentalist.[134][140][141] Rev. Olav Fykse Tveit, head of the World Council of Churches and himself Norwegian, accused Breivik of blasphemy for citing Christianity as a justification in his murderous attack.[116][128][142]
Links to organizations
Clubs and political movements
Breivik was an active member of an Oslo shooting club between 2005 and 2007, and since 2010. According to the club, which has banned him for life, Breivik had taken part in 13 organised training sessions and one competition since June 2010.[143] The club states that it does not evaluate the members' suitability regarding possession of weapons. Oslo Pistolklubb
Breivik listed Freemasonry as one of his interests on his Facebook page[144] and was himself a Freemason.[145] He had displayed photographs of himself in Masonic regalia on his Facebook profile,[146][147] although the regalia in the photo was incomplete,[citation needed] and was a member of St. Olaus T.D. Tre Søiler No. 8 in Oslo.[148] In interviews after the attacks, his lodge stated they had only minimal contact with him, and that when made aware of Breivik's membership, Grand Master of the Norwegian Order of Freemasons, Ivar A. Skaar issued an edict immediately excluding him from the fraternity based upon the acts he carried out and the values that appear to have motivated them.[149][150] His manifesto said that he took three degrees of Freemasonry and comended them as "keepers of cultural heritage" while also criticising it for being "not in any way political."[151] The Norweigian Order of Freemasons said that during the four and a half years he was a member he only took part in four meetings and held no offices or functions within the Lodge.[152]
Breivik was previously a member of the anti-immigration Progress Party (FrP), which promotes libertarian, conservative and right-wing populist viewpoints[153][154][155] and its youth wing FpU from 1997 to 2007, acting as deputy chairman for one of the local Oslo chapters.[156] According to current FpU leader Ove Vanebo, Breivik was active early in the 2000s, but left the party in 2007 as his viewpoints became more extreme.[157]
July 31, 2011, Interpol requested Maltese police to investigate the blogger Lionheart, real name Paul Ray. He is a former member of the English Defence League. Mr Ray conceded that he may have been the inspiration for the Norwegian mass murderer, but deplored his actions. Mr Ray is an associate of Neo-Nazi Nick Greger, whose photograph in the Sunday Times, Malta edition bears the caption "Order Commander". The group including Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair, a notorious name in Northern Ireland connected with The Troubles met in Malta in March.[158][159]
Knights Templar (PCCTS)
See also: Knights Templar and popular culture.
In his manifesto and during interrogation, Breivik claimed membership in an "international Christian military order" in the tradition of the Knights Templar[156] which he calls the new "Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici". The name translates into "Poor Fellows of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon", and refers to the first headquarters of the Knights Templars, which was built on the place ascribed to the ruins of the Temple of Solomon". He also refers to the order as the "PCCTS".
According to Breivik, the order was established as an "anti-Jihad crusader-organisation" that "fights" against "Islamic suppression" in London in April 2002 by nine men: two Englishmen, a Frenchman, a German, a Dutchman, a Greek, a Russian, a Norwegian, and a Serb. It has between fifteen and eighty "ordinated knights" besides an unknown number of "civilian members", and Breivik expects the order to take political and military control of Western Europe.[160]
Breivik gives his own code name in the organization as "Sigurd Jorsalfar" and that of his "mentor" as "Richard Lionheart" (recalling the twelfth-century Crusaders King Sigurd I of Norway and Richard the Lionheart of England),[4] claiming that the group has several "cells" in Western countries, including two more in Norway.[22]
Influences
Breivik has identified himself in a multitude of social media services as an admirer of, among others, Zionism,[12] Serbian paramilitarism,[16] the Freedom Party of Austria,[161][162] Hindu nationalism (Hindutva),[163] the right-wing Swiss People's Party,[164] Winston Churchill,[165] Max Manus,[137][165] Robert Spencer,[166] former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso,[110] Patrick Buchanan,[111] Ayaan Hirsi Ali,[167] and Dutch politician Geert Wilders (whose political party he described on the website of the periodical Minerva as one among the few that could "truly claim to be conservative parties in their whole culture").[168] On Twitter, he paraphrased philosopher John Stuart Mill: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests".[49][169]
According to Belarusian opposition figure Mikhail Reshetnikov, Anders Breivik underwent paramilitary training in a camp organized by retired KGB colonel Valery Lunev. According to Reshetnikov, Breivik visited Belarus three times and had lasting connections with the country. According to official data, however, Breivik visited Belarus only once, as a tourist in 2005.[170]
Breivik has frequently praised the writings of blogger Fjordman.[171] He also endorsed the writings of Australian historian Keith Windschuttle in the manifesto 2083, as well as former Australian Prime Minister John Howard and Treasurer Peter Costello.[172] He expressed admiration for such leaders in the past as Charles Martel, Richard Lionheart, El Cid, Vlad III the Impaler, Jacques de Molay, Nicholas I of Russia, and John III Sobieski.[173]

This section requires expansion.
Some people whom Breivik mentioned in his manifesto have sought to distance themselves from him and his actions.
Fjordman, in response following the attacks to Breivik's praising him, distinguished himself from Breivik, whom he referred to as a "violent psychopath", and said he "intensely dislike[d]" having been praised by Breivik.[174]
Pamela Geller strongly dismissed any connection between Breivik's manifesto and her writings as "ridiculous", saying that he was "responsible for his actions" and that, "[i]f anyone incited him to violence, it was Islamic supremacists".[175][citation needed]
Melanie Phillips strongly denied any suggestion that her writings influenced Breivik, dismissing him as "mentally abnormal" and accusing left-wing elements of attempting to badmouth her.[101][176]
Daniel Pipes acknowledged that Breivik had read and cited his essays, but compared Breivik to Ted Kaczynski and wrote that Breivik's actions threatened to set back the conservative movement.[177][178][citation needed]
Robert Spencer, upon release of an article in the New York Times[179] that first revealed various sources that Breivik had used, stated that "[a]ttempts to link us to these murders on the basis of alleged postings by the murderer mentioning us are absurd and offensive. Our work is and always has been wholly focused upon defending humane values and freedoms. There is no way that any sane person could possibly conclude that committing mass murder of children would advance the principles for which we stand. And if he was [sic] not sane, then any imputation of responsibility to us falters on that basis. Islamic jihadists and supremacists routinely invoke Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence, and thus those teachings are and should be rightly held up to scrutiny; by contrast, our record of support for human rights and the dignity of all human beings is consistent and unbroken. This murderer should be punished to the full extent of the law; any attempts to tar freedom fighters with his actions is deplorable."[180][citation needed]
Geert Wilders issued a statement on Twitter: "Terrible attack in Oslo, so many innocent victims of a violent, sick mind. The PVV mourns together with the families of the victims and the Norwegian people."[181] Wilders went on to describe Breivik as a "psychopath and a lunatic" and stated that his actions were "a slap in the face for the worldwide anti-Islam movement".[182][citation needed]
Keith Windschuttle did not deny Breivik's praise of his writings but added that he was "at a complete loss to find any connection between them and the disgusting and cowardly actions of Breivik".[172]
Regarding Breivik's alleged praise of Hindu nationalism, both the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad have condemned Breivik, with spokesman Ram Madhav of the former stating that "Breivik's act of killing innocents is reprehensible in the strongest possible words. The attempts to link it to the Hindutva movement are also equally reprehensible"[183]

Anders Behring Breivik (Norwegian pronunciation: ['É‘nəʂ 'beËɾiÅ‹ 'bɾæɪʋiËk]; born 13 February 1979)[1] is a Norwegian right-wing extremist[6] and the confessed perpetrator[7][8] of the dual terrorist attacks in Norway on 22 July 2011: a bombing of government buildings in Oslo that caused eight deaths, and a mass shooting at a camp of the Workers' Youth League (AUF) of the Labour Party on the island of Utøya, where he killed 69 people, mostly teenagers.[9][10][11]
Breivik's far-right[12] militant ideology is described in a collection of texts written by himself and by others, titled 2083 A European Declaration of Independence and distributed electronically by Breivik on the day of the attacks[12][13] under the anglicised pseudonym Andrew Berwick.[14][15] In it he lays out his xenophobic worldview, which includes support for varying degrees of cultural conservatism, right-wing populism, ultranationalism, Islamophobia, far-right Zionism and Serbian paramilitarism.[12][16] It further argues for the violent annihilation of Islam, "Eurabia", "cultural Marxism", and multiculturalism, to preserve a Christian Europe.[12][17][18][19][20]
Breivik has confessed to what he calls "atrocious but necessary" actions, but denies criminal responsibility.[21][22] Breivik claimed contact with Norwegian and international far-right political movements,[23][24] and claims to belong to an international anti-Islam network with two cells in Norway and more in other countries. Police and experts doubt these claims but have not dismissed them completely.[22]
On 25 July 2011, Breivik was charged with "destabilising or destroying basic functions of society" and "creating serious fear in the population",[22] acts of terrorism under the criminal law, and ordered held for eight weeksthe first four in solitary confinementpending further court proceedings.[10][25] Prosecutors are considering charging him with crimes against humanity under a 2008 law.[26]Contents [hide]

Biography
Breivik was born in Oslo, on 13 February 1979,[27] the son of Wenche Behring, a nurse, and Jens David Breivik, a Siviløkonom (Norwegian professional title, literally "civil economist"), who worked as a diplomat for the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London and later Paris.[28] He spent the first year of his life in London until his parents divorced when he was one year old. His father, who later married a diplomat, fought for his custody but failed. Breivik lived with his mother and his half sister in the west-end of Oslo and regularly visited his father and stepmother in France, until they divorced when he was 12. His mother also remarried, to a Norwegian Army officer.[29]
Breivik attended Smestad Grammar School, Ris Junior High, Hartvig Nissen High School and Oslo Commerce School.[30] A former classmate has recalled that he was an intelligent student who often took care of people who were bullied.[31] When he reached adolescence, Breivik's behaviour became more rebellious and wayward. He and his gang of friends would reportedly spend their evenings hanging around in Oslo, spraying tags and graffiti on buildings. He later wrote that after he was caught spraying graffiti on walls, his father stopped contact with him. They have not been in contact since then.[30] In 1997, at age 19, he lost 2 million kroner ($369,556[32]) in the stock market. At age 21, he had plastic surgery performed to reshape his forehead, nose and chin.[33] Breivik criticised both of his parents for supporting the policies of the Norwegian Labour Party, and his mother for being a moderate feminist. He wrote about his upbringing: "I do not approve of the super-liberal, matriarchal upbringing as it completely lacked discipline and has contributed to feminising me to a certain degree."
Breivik's father, who currently lives in France as a pensioner, has confirmed that he has had no contact with his son since 1995.[34] His home in the south of France was surrounded by gendarmes following the murders.[35][36] They initially said they were searching the premises,[37] but later the state prosecutor at Carcassonne said that the gendarmes were to protect Breivik and his wife.[30] The local mayor's office said Breivik had requested protection against harassment from journalists.[38] After the attack, Jens Breivik is quoted as saying "I don't feel like his father", and "How could he just stand there and kill so many innocent people and just seem to think that what he did was OK? He should have taken his own life, too. That's what he should have done", adding "I will have to live with this shame for the rest of my life."[37] Breivik's mother has reportedly left her home after her son's arrest and is staying at a secret location.[39]
Breivik was exempt from conscription in the Norwegian Army and has no military training.[40] In his manifesto, Breivik described how he avoided his mandatory military service in the Norwegian Army three times, by claiming he would not put his life on the line for Norway's political parties.
For some time after 2000, Breivik was in the customer service department of an unnamed company, working with "people from all countries" and being "kind to everyone".[41] A former co-worker has described him as an "exceptional colleague",[42] while a close friend of his stated that he usually had a big ego and would be easily irritated by those of Middle Eastern or South Asian origin.[43] Breivik claims that he started a nine-year-plan to finance the attack in 2002, founding his own "computer programming" business while working at the customer service company. He claims that his company grew to six employees and "several offshore bank accounts", and that he made his first million at the age of 24.[44] The company was later declared bankrupt and Breivik was reported for several breaches of the law.[45] To save money, he moved back to his mother's home. His declared assets in 2007 were about 630,000 Norwegian kroner ($116,410[32]), according to Norwegian tax authority figures.[41] He claims that by 2008 he had about two million Norwegian kroner ($369,556[32]) and nine credit cards giving him access to €26,000 in credit.[44]
In May 2009 he founded a farming company under the name "Breivik Geofarm",[46] described as a farming sole proprietorship set up to cultivate vegetables, melons, roots and tubers.[47] In the same year he visited Prague in an attempt to buy illegal weapons. The attempt was a failure, and Breivik decided to obtain weapons through legal channels instead.[48] He had no declared income in 2009 and his fortune amounted to 390,000 Norwegian kroner ($72,063[32]), according to Norwegian tax authority figures.[41] In January 2010 he states that his funds are "depleting gradually". On 23 June 2011, a month before the attacks, he paid the outstanding amount on his nine credit cards in order to have access to funds while he continued his preparations.[44] In late June or early July 2011, he moved to a rural area south of Ã…sta in Ã…mot, Hedmark county, about 140 km (86 miles) northeast of Oslo,[49] the site of his farm. Immediately after the attack there was speculation that he could have used the company as a cover to legally obtain large amounts of artificial fertiliser and other chemicals for the manufacturing of explosives.[49] A farming supplier sold Breivik's company six tonnes of fertiliser in May.[50] Newspaper Verdens Gang reported that after Breivik bought large amounts of fertiliser from an online shop in Poland, his name was among 60 passed to the Police Security Service (PST) by Norwegian Customs as having used the store to buy products. Speaking to the newspaper, Jon Fitje of PST said the information they found gave no indication of anything suspicious. Despite this, the security service accessed his phone and email but only for 24 hours. In his manifesto Breivik described his first experiments with the fertiliser nitrate explosives before detailing a successful test detonation at a remote location on 13 June 2011.[51] He sets the cost of the preparations for the attacks at 317,000 euros - "130,000 out of pocket and 187,500 euros in lost revenue over three years." [sic][41]

Main article: 2011 Norway attacks
On 22 July 2011, Breivik went to Utøya island, the site of a Labour Party youth camp, posing as a police officer and then opened fire on the unarmed adolescents present, reportedly killing 69.[11][52][53] The youngest victim being Sharidyn Svebakk-Bøhn (17/07/1997-22/07/2011[54] ), who had just turned 14 years old, her blog was purpleinstyle.blogg.no [55] and describes the days before her murder.[56][57] Breivik has also been linked with the bomb blasts which had taken place approximately two hours earlier in Oslo, killing eight people. Six hours before the attacks, Breivik posted a YouTube video urging conservatives to "embrace martyrdom" and showing himself wearing a compression garment and pointing a rifle.[58] He also posted a picture of himself pretending to be a military officer in a costume festooned with gold braid and multiple medals.[59] When armed police arrived on the island and confronted him, he surrendered without resistance.[60]
Breivik confessed and stated the purpose of the attack was to save Norway and Western Europe from a Muslim takeover and "[t]he price for this they had to pay yesterday." Ian Stephen, a retired forensic clinical psychologist, said Breivik knew what he was doing but is clearly a psychopath.[61] After arrest and outside court, Breivik was met with an angry crowd, some of whom shouted "burn in hell", while some used stronger words.[53][62][63]
Breivik's lawyer has stated that Breivik may be insane.[64] The chief of the Norwegian Police Security Service disputes the claim Breivik is insane saying "His lawyer is not a psychologist and neither am I. But I have previously been a defense attorney and I perceive him as a sane person because he has been so focused over such a long time."[65] Breivik is currently undergoing examination by court-appointed psychiatrists[66]. Experts have publically questioned the lawyer's claim, and instead tend to describe Breivik as sane, yet severely narcissistic (Dr. Svenn Torgersen)[67] and a "violent true believer"[68] (Dr. J. Reid Meloy)[69] Breivik said he was using testosterone in the days before the attack, saying he had become more aggressive after coming off testosterone supplements.[70][71]
The first funerals of the victims commenced on 29 July 2011, the first being for Bano Rashid, aged 18.[72][73]
Writings
Forums
Janne Kristiansen, Chief of the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST), has stated that Breivik "deliberately desisted from violent exhortations on the net [and] has more or less been a moderate, and has neither been part of any extremist network."[74] He is reported to have written many posts on the Islam-critical[75] website document.no.[76] He also attended meetings of "Documents venner" (Friends of Document), affiliated with the website.[77] Due to the media attention on his Internet activity following the 2011 attacks, document.no compiled a complete list of comments made by Breivik on its website between September 2009 and June 2010.[78][79][80]
In his writings Breivik displays admiration for the English Defence League (EDL), expressing an interest in starting a similar organisation in Norway, and writing that he had advised them to pursue a strategy of provoking overreaction from "Jihad Youth/Extreme-Marxists" which in turn might draw more people to join the organisation.[17][81] On 25 July 2011 British Prime Minister David Cameron announced a review of Britain's own security following the attacks.[82] EDL issued a statement denouncing terror as a tool on 26 July 2011.[83] Some editorialists criticised the EDL and other anti-Muslim groups in this context.[23][84][85] Dagens Næringsliv writes that Breivik sought to start a Norwegian version of the Tea Party movement in cooperation with the owners of document.no, but that they, after expressing initial interest, ultimately turned down his proposal because he did not have the contacts he promised.[86] He also expressed his admiration of the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin (Putinism), finding him "a fair and resolute leader worth of respect", though he was "unsure at this point whether he has the potential to be our best friend or our worst enemy." Putin's spokesperson Dmitri Peskov has denounced Breivik's actions as the "delirium of a madman".[87]
Personal manifesto
Breivik posing in a wet suit, in a photo released with his manifesto six hours before the attacks. The insignia on his left shoulder reads: "Marxist Hunter - Norway - Multiculti traitor hunting permit".[88]
Breivik compiled a 1,516-page manifesto entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence (a reference to the unsuccessful second Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683[89]), under the pseudonym "Andrew Berwick", which he e-mailed to 1,003 addresses about 90 minutes before the bomb blast in Oslo.[90] In the manifesto, which is part political discussion, part confessional, and part action plan, Breivik sets out his belief that his actions will help to spark a civil war in Europe that will last for decades, progressing through three distinct phases and culminating in 2083 with the extermination of European Marxists and the expulsion of Muslims from Europe.[91]
The introductory chapter of the manifesto defining "Cultural Marxism" is a copy of Political Correctness: A Short History of an Ideology by the Free Congress Foundation.[92][93][94] Major parts of the manifesto are attributed to the pseudonymous Norwegian blogger Fjordman.[95] The text also copies sections of the Unabomber manifesto, without giving credit, while exchanging the words "leftists" for "cultural Marxists" and "black people" for "muslims".[96] The New York Times described American influences in Brevik's writings, noting that he mentions the anti-Islamist American Robert Spencer 64 times in his manifesto and cites Spencer's works at great length.[97] The work of the Egyptian born Jewish author Bat Ye'or [98] is cited dozens of times.[99] Neocon blogger Pamela Geller,[100] Middle-eastern expert Bernard Lewis,[101] Neo-pagan writer Koenraad Elst [102] and neo-conservative Daniel Pipes are also mentioned as Breivik's sources of inspiration.[103] The pamphlet also quotes from Jeremy Clarkson's Sunday Times column as well as Melanie Phillips' Daily Mail column.[104] Breivik also admires Ayaan Hirsi Ali (who he thinks deserves the Nobel Prize), Bruce Bawer, Srđa Trifković,[105] and Henryk M. Broder.[106]
In the manifesto, Breivik considers himself "a real European hero", "the saviour of Christianity" and "the greatest defender of cultural-conservatism in Europe since 1950".[107] Breivik wants to see European policies on multiculturalism and immigration more similar to those of Japan and South Korea,[108] which he said are "not far from cultural conservatism and nationalism at its best".[18] He expressed his admiration for the "monoculturalism" of Japan and for the two nations' refusal to accept refugees.[109][110]
Breivik's manifesto also advocates a restoration of patriarchy which would be necessary to save European culture. Breivik promises that if his movement wins they "will re-establish the patriarchal structures".[111][112]
Political and religious views
Islamophobia
Following his apprehension, Breivik was characterized by officials as being a right-wing extremist. The acting police chief said the suspect's Internet postings "suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and Islamophobia views, but if that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen." He was at first described by many in the media as a Christian Fundamentalist, Christian terrorist, nationalist and right-wing extremist,[6][20][53][113][114][115] Although self-identified as a Christian, others have questioned whether Breivik was in fact a fundamentalist Christian or even a Christian at all.[116][117] He claims that the European Union is a project to create "Eurabia"[118][119][120] and describes the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia as being authorised by "criminal western European and American leaders".[121] The Jerusalem Post describes him as pro-Israel and strongly opposed to Islam, and asserts that his manifesto includes "extreme screed of Islamophobia" and "far-right Zionism".[12]
Breivik claimed he had contact with the English Defence League (EDL)[23] and claimed to have been involved with the Norwegian Defence League (NDL),[24] The NDL had held a failed rally in Norway in April 2011[122] EDL leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon denounced Breivik and the attack on 26 July 2011 and has denied any links with the Norwegian.[83]
He sympathises with the Serbian paramilitarism.[16] He demands the gradual deportation of all Muslims from Europe from 2011 to 2083.[91] He blames feminism for allowing the erosion of the fabric of European society.[123] In his manifesto he also urges the Hindu nationalists to drive Muslims out of India.[124]
Christianity
Breivik chose to be baptised into the Protestant Church of Norway at the age of 15.[125][126] In 2009, he wrote that he supports "an indirect collective conversion of the Protestant church back to the Catholic".[127] On his Facebook profile, Breivik described himself as a Christian,[17][128] though he is critical of the Catholic and Protestant churches, objecting to their "current suicidal path".[108] Before the attacks, he stated an intention to attend Frogner Church in a final "Martyr's mass".[129]
In his manifesto, he describes himself as "100 percent Christian",[125] but adds that he is not "excessively religious"[125] and considers himself a "cultural Christian" and a "modern-day crusader".[116][125] His manifesto states "I'm not going to pretend I'm a very religious person, as that would be a lie", calls religion a crutch and a source for drawing mental strength, and says "I've always been very pragmatic and influenced by my secular surroundings and environment"; regarding the term "cultural Christian" which he says means preserving European culture, he notes "It is enough that you are a Christian-agnostic or a Christian atheist (an atheist who wants to preserve at least the basics of the European Christian cultural legacy..." in order to join his intended "Christian movement"...[115][117][130] Furthermore, Breivik stated that "myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God."[131][132] Nevertheless, he stated that he planned to pray to God seeking for his help during his attacks.[133]
Breivik condemns Pope Benedict XVI for his dialogue with Islam: "Pope Benedict has abandoned Christianity and all Christian Europeans and is to be considered a cowardly, incompetent, corrupt and illegitimate Pope." It will thus be necessary, writes Breivik, to overthrow the Protestant and Catholic hierarchies, after which a "Great Christian Congress" would set up a new European Church.[134] He has also condemned Christian missionary activity in India as it would lead to the "total destruction of the Hindu faith and culture", and he expresses support for the Hindutva movement against Indian Communist movements.[135]
American Christian press has also highlighted that Breivik appears to have addressed followers of the Neopagan religion of Odinism the ethnocentric branch of Greater European Heathenry in his writ. In regards to them, he says, "even Odinists can fight with us or by our side as brothers" in the Knights Templar organization that Breivik claims to be a founding member of. He later says to reject Odinism, saying that the Thor's Hammer cannot unify the people of Europe, but that the Christian cross will.[136]
Deputy police chief Roger Andresen initially told reporters that information on Breivik's websites was "so to speak, Christian fundamentalist"[53][137][138][139] Subsequently, others have disputed Andresen's characterisation of Breivik as a Christian fundamentalist.[134][140][141] Rev. Olav Fykse Tveit, head of the World Council of Churches and himself Norwegian, accused Breivik of blasphemy for citing Christianity as a justification in his murderous attack.[116][128][142]
Links to organizations
Clubs and political movements
Breivik was an active member of an Oslo shooting club between 2005 and 2007, and since 2010. According to the club, which has banned him for life, Breivik had taken part in 13 organised training sessions and one competition since June 2010.[143] The club states that it does not evaluate the members' suitability regarding possession of weapons. Oslo Pistolklubb
Breivik listed Freemasonry as one of his interests on his Facebook page[144] and was himself a Freemason.[145] He had displayed photographs of himself in Masonic regalia on his Facebook profile,[146][147] although the regalia in the photo was incomplete,[citation needed] and was a member of St. Olaus T.D. Tre Søiler No. 8 in Oslo.[148] In interviews after the attacks, his lodge stated they had only minimal contact with him, and that when made aware of Breivik's membership, Grand Master of the Norwegian Order of Freemasons, Ivar A. Skaar issued an edict immediately excluding him from the fraternity based upon the acts he carried out and the values that appear to have motivated them.[149][150] His manifesto said that he took three degrees of Freemasonry and comended them as "keepers of cultural heritage" while also criticising it for being "not in any way political."[151] The Norweigian Order of Freemasons said that during the four and a half years he was a member he only took part in four meetings and held no offices or functions within the Lodge.[152]
Breivik was previously a member of the anti-immigration Progress Party (FrP), which promotes libertarian, conservative and right-wing populist viewpoints[153][154][155] and its youth wing FpU from 1997 to 2007, acting as deputy chairman for one of the local Oslo chapters.[156] According to current FpU leader Ove Vanebo, Breivik was active early in the 2000s, but left the party in 2007 as his viewpoints became more extreme.[157]
July 31, 2011, Interpol requested Maltese police to investigate the blogger Lionheart, real name Paul Ray. He is a former member of the English Defence League. Mr Ray conceded that he may have been the inspiration for the Norwegian mass murderer, but deplored his actions. Mr Ray is an associate of Neo-Nazi Nick Greger, whose photograph in the Sunday Times, Malta edition bears the caption "Order Commander". The group including Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair, a notorious name in Northern Ireland connected with The Troubles met in Malta in March.[158][159]
Knights Templar (PCCTS)
See also: Knights Templar and popular culture.
In his manifesto and during interrogation, Breivik claimed membership in an "international Christian military order" in the tradition of the Knights Templar[156] which he calls the new "Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici". The name translates into "Poor Fellows of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon", and refers to the first headquarters of the Knights Templars, which was built on the place ascribed to the ruins of the Temple of Solomon". He also refers to the order as the "PCCTS".
According to Breivik, the order was established as an "anti-Jihad crusader-organisation" that "fights" against "Islamic suppression" in London in April 2002 by nine men: two Englishmen, a Frenchman, a German, a Dutchman, a Greek, a Russian, a Norwegian, and a Serb. It has between fifteen and eighty "ordinated knights" besides an unknown number of "civilian members", and Breivik expects the order to take political and military control of Western Europe.[160]
Breivik gives his own code name in the organization as "Sigurd Jorsalfar" and that of his "mentor" as "Richard Lionheart" (recalling the twelfth-century Crusaders King Sigurd I of Norway and Richard the Lionheart of England),[4] claiming that the group has several "cells" in Western countries, including two more in Norway.[22]
Influences
Breivik has identified himself in a multitude of social media services as an admirer of, among others, Zionism,[12] Serbian paramilitarism,[16] the Freedom Party of Austria,[161][162] Hindu nationalism (Hindutva),[163] the right-wing Swiss People's Party,[164] Winston Churchill,[165] Max Manus,[137][165] Robert Spencer,[166] former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso,[110] Patrick Buchanan,[111] Ayaan Hirsi Ali,[167] and Dutch politician Geert Wilders (whose political party he described on the website of the periodical Minerva as one among the few that could "truly claim to be conservative parties in their whole culture").[168] On Twitter, he paraphrased philosopher John Stuart Mill: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests".[49][169]
According to Belarusian opposition figure Mikhail Reshetnikov, Anders Breivik underwent paramilitary training in a camp organized by retired KGB colonel Valery Lunev. According to Reshetnikov, Breivik visited Belarus three times and had lasting connections with the country. According to official data, however, Breivik visited Belarus only once, as a tourist in 2005.[170]
Breivik has frequently praised the writings of blogger Fjordman.[171] He also endorsed the writings of Australian historian Keith Windschuttle in the manifesto 2083, as well as former Australian Prime Minister John Howard and Treasurer Peter Costello.[172] He expressed admiration for such leaders in the past as Charles Martel, Richard Lionheart, El Cid, Vlad III the Impaler, Jacques de Molay, Nicholas I of Russia, and John III Sobieski.[173]

This section requires expansion.
Some people whom Breivik mentioned in his manifesto have sought to distance themselves from him and his actions.
Fjordman, in response following the attacks to Breivik's praising him, distinguished himself from Breivik, whom he referred to as a "violent psychopath", and said he "intensely dislike[d]" having been praised by Breivik.[174]
Pamela Geller strongly dismissed any connection between Breivik's manifesto and her writings as "ridiculous", saying that he was "responsible for his actions" and that, "[i]f anyone incited him to violence, it was Islamic supremacists".[175][citation needed]
Melanie Phillips strongly denied any suggestion that her writings influenced Breivik, dismissing him as "mentally abnormal" and accusing left-wing elements of attempting to badmouth her.[101][176]
Daniel Pipes acknowledged that Breivik had read and cited his essays, but compared Breivik to Ted Kaczynski and wrote that Breivik's actions threatened to set back the conservative movement.[177][178][citation needed]
Robert Spencer, upon release of an article in the New York Times[179] that first revealed various sources that Breivik had used, stated that "[a]ttempts to link us to these murders on the basis of alleged postings by the murderer mentioning us are absurd and offensive. Our work is and always has been wholly focused upon defending humane values and freedoms. There is no way that any sane person could possibly conclude that committing mass murder of children would advance the principles for which we stand. And if he was [sic] not sane, then any imputation of responsibility to us falters on that basis. Islamic jihadists and supremacists routinely invoke Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence, and thus those teachings are and should be rightly held up to scrutiny; by contrast, our record of support for human rights and the dignity of all human beings is consistent and unbroken. This murderer should be punished to the full extent of the law; any attempts to tar freedom fighters with his actions is deplorable."[180][citation needed]
Geert Wilders issued a statement on Twitter: "Terrible attack in Oslo, so many innocent victims of a violent, sick mind. The PVV mourns together with the families of the victims and the Norwegian people."[181] Wilders went on to describe Breivik as a "psychopath and a lunatic" and stated that his actions were "a slap in the face for the worldwide anti-Islam movement".[182][citation needed]
Keith Windschuttle did not deny Breivik's praise of his writings but added that he was "at a complete loss to find any connection between them and the disgusting and cowardly actions of Breivik".[172]
Regarding Breivik's alleged praise of Hindu nationalism, both the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad have condemned Breivik, with spokesman Ram Madhav of the former stating that "Breivik's act of killing innocents is reprehensible in the strongest possible words. The attempts to link it to the Hindutva movement are also equally reprehensible"[183]

WAR AND POLITICS FROM A LEFT-CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE:
ANDERS BREIVIK AND THE ANTICHRIST VIRUS, PT. TWO
By Richard Edmondson
Since the 7/22 terror attack, a number of Christian writers ( here and here for instance) have hastened to point out that Anders Breivik, though painted as a "Christian fundamentalist" by the media, does not appear to have been deeply religious and mainly seems to have been Christian in name only. While this may be true, what it overlooks is that such a de-emphasis of Christ is largely in keeping with Christian Zionism.
In Christian Zionism, Christ is reduced to a minor, almost inconsequential figure. CZs are quick to point out that Jesus was Jewish, and that's certainly a point in his favor where they are concerned, but the vast majority of his teachings are discarded. For CZs, the real object of worship is the Jewish people in a collective sense. Let me repeat that: CZs do not worship Christ; they worship Jews.
Extremely steeped in the Old Testament, the theology of Christian Zionism is driven by the belief that Jews are God's "chosen people", that they are therefore superior, and that it is the obligation of Gentiles to "bless" them (read: "serve" them) as is commanded in Genesis 12:3. Any concerns about Jesus come secondary to this. CZs view the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 as nothing short of a miracle of God, and this is a belief they are likely to retain no matter how many mass murders, genocides, war crimes, and crimes against humanity Israel commits. In fact, the more Israel does these things, the more CZs are likely to approve of it, for the Jews of the Old Testament carried out very similar acts.
Another common misconception about CZs is that they hope to trigger Armageddon and thereby bring about the second coming of Christ, but again we have to remember that Christ is not the main consideration. The primary object of veneration is Jews:
It was Judaism that believed man was created in God's image. It was traditional Judaism that gave us the concepts of hell, heaven, angels, devils, the acceptance of Adam and Eve as the first man and woman, the creation of the world in seven days, and even its age, four thousand years.
It was Judaism that taught us to sing while other religions wail in sorrow. It was Judaism that gave us love and respect for life. While pagan religions sacrificed their children to foreign gods, Judaism gave us a loving God who adored the life of every child.
The above words were written by Christian Zionist leader John Hagee in his book, In Defense of Israel (pg. 96-7). Hagee goes on to claim that the Old Testament "is the light of truth and reason upon which our society and civilization is built;" he asserts that Muslims "intend to crush Israel and destroy America;" and even defends the bombing of the King David Hotel. An attack which left 91 people dead, the blowing up of the King David was carried out by the Jewish Irgun exactly 65 years to the day before the atrocity in Norway. Whether Breivik had ever come upon any of Hagee's writings or his numerous videos on YouTube I have no idea, but as I noted previously, this kind of ideology has the properties of a virus. And of course it's not hard to imagine a social misfit, such as Breivik seems to have been, coming to conceive that a murder spree against critics of Israel might be a good thing and coming to adopt such as his mission in life.
While, as I said, bringing Jesus back for the second time is not the sought-after prize, a struggle between good and evilArmageddon if you willdoes factor heavily in Christian Zionist theology, and so yes, for sure, the "end times" are very much upon us. What is "ending," however, will be the idea of equality of all people, the "multiculturalism" espoused by such as the present ruling party of Norway, to be replaced by a Jewish world orderand here is where the dividing line between Christian Zionism and Noahidism becomes very thin. In fact, they could be viewed as two separate strains of the same virus.
Noahidism is basically Christian Zionism with all the trappings of Christianityany mention of Christ or loving your neighbor, etc.formally erased and dispensed of. What is left is the belief that Gentiles must abide by the "seven Laws of Noah"a set of principles that sound basically reasonable but which derive from the Talmud, not the Torah. They include six proscriptionsagainst murder, theft, blasphemy, idol worship, sexual immorality and eating the flesh of living animalsand one mandatethat judicial courts be set up. As I say, it sounds perfectly reasonable, but it's important to realize that in Noahidism, Jews are regarded as spiritually superior, and that by default they hold authority. In my last post, I linked to a video here featuring an Orthodox Jew discussing the seven Noahide Laws. It is a 10-minute video exuding Jewish superiority at just about every camera frame as the presenter explains, among other things, how it is that the Jewish soul is able to hold more light than a Gentile's.
In another video, here , a Chabad rabbi gives a talk on Noahidism to gullible Gentiles ( or b'nei Noach, or "children of Noah," as they are referred in Hebrew), while here a separate rabbi discusses how "righteous Gentiles" are in need of "guidelines for functioning together as a community," and finally, here , we are promised nothing short of world peace, miraculous medical cures, and a 12 hour work week if only Jews rule the world.
Are significant numbers of Gentiles really buying into this? Hard to say, but if Zionists can sell them soap, beer, and toothpaste, it probably stands to reason they will buy this as well. Here we can read of a Chabad rabbi's experiences teaching Noahide classes to Gentiles in Australia, as well as view a photo gallery of his converts, (on the subject of intermarriage between Jews and Gentiles, he comments, tellingly, that the practice is "spiritually detrimental" for both groups and compares it to the field of chemistry wherein "we find that certain substances are harmless and even useful on their own, or when mixed with other substances, but are lethal when mixed with each other."), while Noahide communities in various cities and countries have set up their own sites here, here, here, here, here, and here. There is also a Noahide group on Yahoo, and even a Russian Noahide group.
One question we might ask ourselves is to what extent, if any, the Christian Zionist/Noahide ideology has infected the Norwegian police. In a recent post, James Petras said the notion that Anders Breivik carried out such a detailed, multi-layered terrorist operation unassisted "defies credence," and he believes that Breivik, an amateur with no previous explosives training, would had to have had outside help, possibly with the collusion of Norwegian police:
The most serious political implication of the terrorist action, however, is the conspicuous complicity of top police officials. The police took 90 minutes to arrive at Utoeya Island, located less than 20 kilometers from Oslo, 12 minutes by helicopter and 25 to 30 minutes by car and boat. The delay allowed the right wing assassins to use up the ammunition, maximizing the death toll of young, anti-fascist activists and devastating the Labor youth movement. The police chief, Sveinung Sponheim, made the feeblest excuse and cover-up, claiming "problems with transport". Sponheim argued that a helicopter "wasn't on standby" and they "could not find a boat" (Associated Press, July 24, 2011). Yet a helicopter was available; it managed to fly to Utoeya and film the ongoing slaughter, and over half of Norwegians, a seafaring people for millennia, own or have access to a boat. A police force, faced with what the Prime Minister calls the worst atrocity since the Nazi occupation', moving at the pace of an arthritic turtle to rescue youth activists, raises the suspicion of some level of complicity. The obvious question arises as to the degree to which the ideology of right wing extremism neo-fascism has penetrated the police and security forces, especially the upper echelons? This level of "inactivity" raises more questions than it answers. What it suggests is that the Social Democrats only control part of the Government the legislative, while the neo-fascists influence the state apparatus.
Neo-fascists? Or Noahides? Take your pick. Perhaps most pertinent of all, on March 5, 1991, Noahidism pretty much became the official religion of the United States Congress. This is when Congress ratified H.J. Resolution 104 honoring Chabad Rabbi Memachem Mendel Schneerson and enshrining the seven Noahide Laws as the "edifice of civilization." As I noted in a post more than a year ago, the timing of this resolution was quite curiouscoming less than a week after the U.S. carried out a massive overnight bombing of a retreating Iraqi convoy, a war crime incident that became known as the Highway of Death. A question that may now need to be considered is to what extent all this could be viewed as having been predicted. "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit," said Jesus 2000 years ago. If we think of Zionism as the tree and Israel as the fruit of that tree, the tree has indeed borne bad fruit. What sort of unsavory fruit might we now expect from a Zionist, "anti-Christ" religion for Gentiles?
