Explosion Norway

[Jan Klimkowski]

The trial of mass murderer Anders Breivik is producing some strange revelations. A correspondent has sent us the following:
Breivik claims he was taught rhetorical strategies as well as military knowledge on a course in Liberia, where his first cover story was that he was working for UNICEF and his second was that he was smuggling diamonds. His passport indicates he did go to Liberia for 2 weeks in 2002.

That's rather provocative.

Earlier in this thread we identified some likely Balkans arms dealers that Breivik may have met in Liberia.

It is entirely possible that Breivik was being used as a courier of some sort, and tested for his reliability, during his trip to Liberia.

I wouldn't be surprized if, in addition, he was taught military techniques and some "rhetorical strategies". The extreme right loves micro-analysing the speeches of demagogues such as Hitler.

So perhaps in Liberia Breivik received some training by extreme right elements in speechmaking.

However, against this, Breivik seems to have been groomed for a mass slaughter operation, not as a charismatic political leader.

His courtroom utterances have been clearly focused and targeted, but the press have not claimed that he is a great or charistmatic speaker.

I'm not sure what to make of this alleged new information. But it is intriguing.
