Suspect in Norway Bombing and Shooting Spree ChargedPosted on Jul 23, 2011
Norwegian police charged a man Saturday whom they describe as a right-wing Christian fundamentalist in connection with a deadly bombing in Oslo and shooting spree at a summer camp for liberal youth that killed at least 92 people. A profile of the man who may be responsible for the most deadly attack in Norway since World War II is beginning to emerge. He has been identified by Norwegian media as Anders Behring Breivik, who on various social media and Internet platforms claimed to love guns and fear multiculturalism and immigration, especially of Muslims. —BF

Dave, I find my previous post a bit sharper biting then I would have preferred, may have been an early emotional response to the tradgidy.
Grabbing the minds of men seems part of the plan, it may all be connected to the human only ability of oneupmanship, and a desire to feel important,... we have all seen it and I have even entertained it myself on more than one occasion. Though, I am trying to give it up!

don’t presume to know any better than any other critical thinker, but that’s the point - thinking critically and not just taking a party line, i.e. voting for a Wall St. puppet, just because he’s the lesser of evils
of course, media lies are given - one follows their own instincts, based on education
and experience, accepts or rejects analysis from others on that alone
as for the “...terrible tyranny that’s planning our destruction…”, you mean
something like the Muslim Brotherhood… the group formed by MI6 to counter

———————————-
Your comments are no different from the nationalists who whine about being taken over by the Islamists. No different from the Christians who whine about being taken over by Atheists. No different from the Capitalists who whine about being taken over by communists. No different from the Democrats who whine about being taken over by Republicans and vice versa. ad infinitum.
The Atheists, who are no less self-righteous than any other ideology, are in fact no different than any other ideology. None of them have any scientific proof. None of them are infallible, in spite of what their proponents say about them. And all seek converts, whether they admit it or not.
In the battle for the minds and hearts of men, all ideologies compete. This is not evil by itself, but if any commit some atrocity in this process, it is definitely evil. At that point, you can look to see if the ideology is evil or just a few so-called adherents became evil.
Otherwise, there is nothing to whine about. The ideologies will be followed based on whatever causes men to follow anything or any idea. I guess it is a mystery of the mind to some extent.
To speak disparingly, to suppress or to ridicule a competing ideology is an inferior position. It shows that your ideology cannot stand on its own merits.
We are fortunate, some may say, that the overwhelming majority of those who ascribe to any ideology, do not really follow it literally, but resort to popular local culture, which is the true dominating ideology of all people, and what keeps us from murdering each other daily.
Fundamentalists apparently deviate from popular culture and actually attempt to throw off their hypocrisy and follow their ideology. If this causes them to commit crimes, they must be held individually accountable, but don’t judge the ideology based on the actions of a few, unless the ideology literally calls people to cause crimes. And don’t judge all ideologies based upon what one is doing.
Until one ideology or another is proven scientifically, they are all valid within the world of the ideas of men and women. This is the fundamentalism of freedom and tolerance.

How exactly do you propose uniting everyone? Have you any idea of just what the hell you’re dealing with?
The Ruling Elite blogdog, is in a constant state of flux. The Ruling Elite is not just a group of easily identifiable super wealthy individuals. It consists of humans AND the institutions through which they exercise and maintain their power. The groups of people are never the same due to mortality, fortunes won and lost, etc. Institutions aren’t stagnant either, they are modified, they morph, old ones are sometimes discarded and new ones created. Then there’s the henchmen class who do the dirty work because of the privileged lives they can lead. The military is an extremely powerful part of both the Ruling Elite and the henchman class. How do you propose to identify and eliminate all of them?
Have you considered the possibility that those actions are taking place on behalf of the Arab League?

The Left vs. Right dichotomy is a ruse. There is only the Ruling Elite and its henchmen class working toward whatever aims are determined by the Power Elite to maintain the status quo and keep the masses confused and fighting each other. In the U.S. there is but one political party…The Party…and it marches to the beat of the Ruling Elite.

Obviously, non-belief in God seems to be a big issue with some of them. Like maybe they should go in their closet and work out their anger and hate. If you don’t believe in God, that’s fine. Nobody is making you. Even the Jehovah’s Witnesses leave immediately when I tell them politely that I am all set, thank you. American religion has a few fanatics, but millions and millions are just peace loving regular people, who do not deserve ridicule and prejudice.
Really, it is hard to believe someone spits out that kind of nasty rhetoric and expects others to see him as enlightened.

Observing the likes of Bachman or Perry from Texas, (though Gov Perry is pulling in his godly Evangelical horns right now) are two examples of fundamental christian dogmas, so very close in their dogmas, making them similar to the self righteous fundamental Islamist, little different from what the Talaban seem like?
From Religion we see, Women treated as sub human, anyone in disagreement or differences appear as infidels or sinners. Similarities off the top of my head; gays portrayed as s abomination or barbarians, enlightenment attacked in the name of ignorance.
Hell, lets throw Palin into the fundamental mix, she appears as another person riding high on the dogmas of ignorance via religion. People who would make decisions affecting everyone in society, especially those who would dare to show disagreeableness.

I remember this one; ‘Barny the dinosaur is gay’! so recently we have again heard the same ignorance expressed hearing; ‘Spongebob squarepants is gay”!
Just a few obsessions displaying copious amounts of ignorance letting loose ignorance and Dogmas
Sometimes ignorance is bliss, apparently in the case of Fundamental dogmas it is a comfort zone of “oneupsmansship” or propping of self-aggrandizement!
Expecting reason from fundamentalism is not likely forthcoming, it seems blindness is the key, for the fanatic has no use for facts or truth, but instead only his insane obsessive cause!

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to come here and watch my back.
Since you’re here I want to ask a question or two hoping you might clear up some doubts that I have. As one about to embark on his 7th decade on the surface of this rock and in ill health, cancer, I have read many articles, comments, and just plain stupid dribble here as well as on other sites. There’s not much else I’m physically able to do.
One of the common themes from both the so-called Left and the so-called Right is about the so-called ‘corporate media complex’ and the so-called ‘main stream media.’ My problem is: With so much misinformation how does one know which part is the truth and which part is the lie?
If all that you are claiming here is true, you’ve just verified that there is most certainly siegecraft taking place against Christians, Christianity, and native majorities of Western nations. So Christians and non-multiculturalists—those usually labeled right-wing, Reich-wing, evangelicals, fundamentalists, and conservatives, etc.—of Western society had better set aside their differences and unite under a common banner and wrest Western culture and civilization from the hands of those that would destroy it.
You’ve also confirmed that despite the rhetoric with regards to the invented term ‘Islamophobia’ (of course no such phobia exists) there really is reason to be concerned with the Left/Islam alliance. In short there can be no Islamophobia if they’re really trying to kill us. Insanity would be not preparing to defend one’s self, one’s family, one’s culture, and one’s society.
Please allow me to touch upon another topic: Governments making decisions for reasons of political expediency that come back to bite the citizenry in the arse.
December 7th, 1941, the Japanese Empire attacked the U.S. at Pearl Harbor. They destroyed mostly old, inferior naval vessels that probably wouldn’t have stood a chance in sea battles against the much more modern and efficient Imperial Japanese Navy. The U.S. fighting in the Pacific theatre with one hand tied behind its back—because it was fighting the Hun also—faced a modern, determined and exceptionally well-trained Japanese navy. Do you know who built those modern ships and trained that well-trained Navy? Our allies: The British.
The moral of the story is this: Try as you might, no one can predict exactly what will happen in the future. In attempting to assuage Japanese fears and anxieties the U.S., Britain, and Japan entered agreements that they thought would prevent war. It, like so many good intentions of apes, accomplished exactly the opposite. Today, because of having been caught with its pants down and hardly any modern military capability in 1941, the U.S. has become an out-of-control Military Industrial Complex. Neither extreme serves liberty and the people well.
Life is all about survival.

Samual Huntington’s ‘Clash of Civilizations’ is a manufactured thesis, seized
upon to drive a suicidal endeavor we now call ‘The Globl War OF Terror’
e.g. “March 1985: The US decides to escalate the war in Afghanistan. The CIA,
British MI6 and the ISI agree to launch guerrilla attacks from Afghanistan into
then Soviet-controlled Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, attacking military
installations, factories and storage depots within Soviet territory until the end
of the war.
The CIA also begins supporting the ISI in recruiting radical Muslims from
around the world to come to Pakistan and fight with the Afghan mujaheddin.
The CIA gives subversive literature and Korans to the ISI, who carry them
into the Soviet Union.
Eventually, around 35,000 Muslim radicals from 43 Islamic countries will fight
with the Afghan mujaheddin. Tens of thousands more will study in the
hundreds of new madrassas funded by the ISI and CIA in Pakistan.

Blasphemy in the 21st century. What’s next, we return to witch burning and outhouses?
Have you noticed that Muslims never seem to get offended enough to return to whatever Islamic paradise from whence the came? Also, have you noticed that every where they go they have problems with the host nations’ native majorities and their culture and traditions? Do you think it’s possible, at least possible, that the problem lies with Muslims and not the native majorities?

I posted this elsewhere but think it is appropriate
here also:
I would like to thank the folks who responded to
Report thismy question, “What is a right-wing Christian
Fundamentalist?” I decided to approach the
phrase word by word using my small Webster’s
Dictionary. For “right-wing” Webster uses the
following words, “The more conservative or reactionary section of a political party or
group.” Well, I was stumped right out of the gate.
What does “conservative” mean? So, it’s back to
Webster’s Dictionary. Conservative means, (1)
“tending to conserve,” (2) “tending to preserve
established institutions; opposed to change.”
Webster deines “Christian” as “having the qualities
taught by Jesus Christ, as love, kindness, humility, etc.” So, a right-wing Christian must be someone
who wants to conserve the qualities taught by Jesus
Christ. That leaves out the Catholics and the
majority of Protestants. Jesus kept and taught
the Sabbath was from dusk Friday until dusk Saturday. In the 4th century AD the Catholic leaders got together and changed the Sabbath to
Sunday. They also added Christmas and Easter.
No where in the Bible does it say to worship the
day of someone’s birth. However, the Bible does
mention the heathen keeping a birthday. It was
King Herod’s birthday. His wife hated John the
Baptist because John had been getting on her nerves. She left Herod’s brother Philip and married Herod.
John the Baptist kept telling them they had committed adultry and many other sins. Herod’s
wife ask him to have John arrested. Herod did so.
Herod not only married his brother’s wife but he
had the hots for his teenage daughter-in-law. During his birthday party Herod ask the girl to
dance for him. He promised to give the girl anything she wanted. It’s amazing what alcohol and
lust will do to a man. Herod’s wife’s called her
daughter aside and informed her to ask for the head
of John the Baptist when she was through dancing.
That’s exactly what happened. There is another place in the Bible where a birthday is mentioned.
I think it had to do with a Pharoah in Egypt. But
if the Bible does not mention keeping birthdays
it does have something to say about death. Ecclesiastes 7:1 reads, “the day of one’s death
is better than the day of one’s birth.” The word
“Easter” is only mentioned once in the Bible but
it was a mistranslation. The word was acutally
“passover.” So, the Catholic Church changed the
Sabbath and added Christmas and Easter. When Martin Luther broke away from the Catholic Church he still kept the Sunday Sabbath. He also kept Christmas
and Easter as did the multidtude of protestants
that followed him. Since the Catholic Church and
majority of Protestants have failed to keep the
principles taught by Jesus it would be safe, according to Webster, to say they are not conservative Christians. Since Jesus also taught
people not to kill one another it is fair to conclude the fellow in Norway who killed the people is NOT a “right-wing Christian.” I’m not even going to deal with the word “Fundamentalist.” I’m running out of words. Now, I have a better idea of what a
“right-wing Christian” is and IS NOT! I could get
into the area of quantity of sins. Do you have
to keep the principles of Jesus 100 per cent during a day to be a “conservative Christian?” How about 95 or 90 per cent? I’ll get into quantities later.

“What is a “right-wing Christian fundamentalist?”
I am not sure if that is a political thing or a religious thing. Maybe there are right-wing Christians and left-wing Christians, and the right-wing ones are bad, because they are not left-wing ones.
I have never heard of anyone refer to a left-wing Christian fundamentalist. I wonder if that is because there are no left-wing Christians or there are no left-wing Christians who follow the fundamentals of Christianity.
Or maybe what is bad is following the fundamentals of Christianity at all, like following Christ’s commandments: Love your Enemies, Do unto others as you would they do unto you, Take care of the widows and the orphans, Pray one for another, etc, etc, etc.
It used to be considered a good thing to get back to fundamentals, but not for Christians, I guess.
“Was Jesus a “right-wing Christian fundamentalist”
He was definitely not political, so not right or left wing. Although, he did indicate he was a King, so he would have been above partisan politics anyway, like a monarchist. But I think you would have to say he was a fundamentalist.
Hope this helps, because it confuses the hell out of me.

Phillips was invited by the Progress Party leadership to talk about grassroots organizing. But he talked mostly about how his organization is fighting for a weaker central government and lower taxes, to health reform and climate change.
Moreover, he spoke regularly Democrats in the U.S. as the “left side”.

As I expected and expressed in a previous post, there is the fanatic Christian fundamentalist DaveZx3 already rushing to find excuses…
You can label him anything you want. Terrorist, assassin, mass murderer, etc. they all mean the same thing but apparently it’s the handiwork of a lone madman, a lone assassin. And much to the chagrin of the Left and their Islamic BFF, at this time, there’s nothing to indicate he’s part of a vast right-wing conspiracy. He appears to be nothing more than a Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, who also had a manifesto or a Charles Manson who claimed to be a believer of sorts but is stark-raving mad.
It’s funny that you condemn DaveZx3 through quilt by association and fail to realize that the same illogic can be applied to you. People in the West are starting to push back against all this kowtowing to Islamists by politicians, in the name of multiculturalism and political correctness. Europeans, especially, have quite a history of pushing back—from both the left and right. I hope that when they do start pushing back that they push first against the enablers ... the Quislings of Western society.
Do you know why most thought: “Another Islamist terror attack”? Do you think it might have something to do with Mullah Krekar’s threats to KILL PEOPLE if he were deported back to his Islamic paradise, Iraq? And of course there were the other threats made by other Islamists because the Norwegian media dared to commit blasphemy by reprinting the cartoon of grenade-head Mohammed. ‘Do what I want or I’ll kill you’ diplomacy gets tiresome fast and tends to reflect badly on you and your ilk. Go figure!
Perhaps you can explain something to me. Why would a true believer in Allah immigrate to a Great Satan nation from an Islamic paradise where Sharia is long established, women know there place, etc.?

Norway Terror Attacks a False Flag: More Than One Shooter on Island; Oslo
Bomb Drill Just Concluded; Was It NATO’s Revenge for Norway’s Decision to

TARPLEY.net
Washington DC, July 24, 2011 – The tragic terror attacks in Norway display a
number of the telltale signs of a false flag provocation. It is reported that,
although the world media are attempting to focus on Anders Behring Breivik as
a lone assassin in the tradition of Lee Harvey Oswald, many eyewitnesses agree
that a second shooter was active in the massacre at the Utøya summer youth
camp outside of Oslo. It has also come to light that a special police unit had
been conducting a drill or exercise in downtown Oslo which involved the
detonation of bombs – exactly what caused the bloodshed a few hundred
meters away little more than 48 hours later. Further research reveals that United
States intelligence agencies had been conducting a large-scale program of
recruiting retired Norwegian police officers with the alleged purpose of
conducting surveillance inside the country. This program, known as SIMAS
Surveillance Detection Units, provided a perfect vehicle for the penetration and
subversion of the Norwegian police by NATO.
A motive for the attack is also present: as part of its attempt to mount an
independent foreign policy, including the imminent diplomatic recognition of a
Palestinian state as part of a general rapprochement with the Arab world,
Norway was leading the smaller NATO states in dropping out of the imperialist
aggressor coalition currently bombing Libya. Norway was scheduled to stop all
bombing and other sorties against the Gaddafi forces as out of August 1 at the
latest.
Finally, the CIA limited hangout operation known as Wikileaks has already

view of US State Department officials.

Leefeller,
I forgot one other thing. I made the comment that I did not think Christian ideology was behind it, because I knew this guy could not have been Christian in his ideology. I had seen where he called himself a cultural Christian. I also saw that he was a Freemason. In addition to other things.
These things are incompatible with pure Christian ideology, and are more in line with Nazi-occult pseudo-Christianity. The guy is a racist and a fascist, and murderer. Not one who Loves his enemy, does unto others as they would have them do to him, feeds the children and widows, etc.
You may disagree with this, but in the words of Christ, he said that those who call themselves Christians may be in for a big surprise in the last days. They will say, “we did miracles in your name, Jesus” But he will say, “get away from me, I knew you not” Because they are the ones who only used Christianity to further their own goals.
There are parallels in Islam to these same principles, and I am sure Son of Palestine will agree with me on this. The real Muslim is the one who walks the walk and talks the talk, not the one who uses it for his own advantage or agenda.
You need to be more tolerant, and not judge the whole by the actions of the few.

Leefeller,
Pure Christian ideology is just this: “love your enemy, do good to them who persecute you, do unto others, take care of the widows and orphans”
There is not one mean word in pure Christian ideology. Your problem, is you are bigoted towards Christians, judging according to the minority who do evil things, like this nut case here.
Just like we should not judge Muslims by the minority terrorists, you should not judge Christians by the minority terrorists.
Christianity has to be evaluated on the words of Christ himself, not the words of men, who hijack all they can in in an effort to deceive for the purposes of enriching themselves or carrying out an evil agenda.
Islam has to be evaluated on the words of Mohammed himself, not on the words of men, who hijack all they can in their efforts to carry out an evil agenda or enrich themselves.
I really shouldn’t have to tell you this. It is common sense. You can’t judge all people of a race, creed, nationality or religion, based on the actions of a few.
To make a statment that all are evil based on a few, without personal knowledge and experience of the all, is a very bigoted position.

Most of the Fundamentilist Christians, even the ones who don’t encourage violence against non-believers, pay very little attention to Jesus and get all their bile from the contradictions of Christ by the Old Testament. I really fail to understand how some churches can say they are “Old Testament Christians”, as any contradiction of Jesus’ teachings should be over ruled by Jesus Christ’s standing as God/Man.
I think we make a mistake of allowing people with this type of inflamatory views to pass under the banner of religious freedom. They surely have a right to practice in their personal lives the strictures that their belief imposes on them, but in public life they can not be allowed to foment murder, and terror in service of their belief system. That should be clearly judged for what it is a crime.
I think it was a mistake that Eric Rudolph was allowed to take the fall for his murders, while the people who gave him the idea and support that killing people, that his group thought were unworthy weren’t even investigated.
The Fundamentalist Christians in our own country are cleary unhinged and ready to take it on themselves to not just critic others life styles, but to criminalize and destroy their right to have an alternate opinion. The government must monitor them and make sure that any instigation to violence by them is held as a crime just as it would be for an un-aligned person who seriously calls for violence against others. We have been too afraid to call this behavior a crime just because they hide behind a bible.

“As I expected and expressed in a previous post, there is the fanatic Christian fundamentalist DaveZx3 already rushing to find excuses for Anders Behring Breivik calling him a “nut case” instead the terrorist murderer that he is.”
——————————-
Calm down man. I wasn’t making excuses for this evil nut case. (I always use the words nut case) He is a murderer of the worst kind, he killed innocent children. If it was up to me, he would get the death penalty.
I was only holding back judgement on Norwegian society, as I was not in any way aware that there was this extreme anti-immigration element in Norway.
I so far don’t buy any religious connection, as Norwegians are the most watered down church that I have ever seen. Besides, he was a Freemason, and was pro-homosexual, which is totally incompatible with Jerry Falwell Christianity.
The guy was extremely complex, plus he was obviously deceptive, so it is hard to pinpoint still where his real alliances are. I still don’t know that much, and I am not going to jump in and read the whole 1500 page manifesto yet. I’ll do that next week, when I have more time.
As far as use of the word, “fundamentalist” I thought that was one of those generic words which has pretty much lost its meaning, hasn’t it? I never use it, as I am not sure why it even is a bad word. In any discipline, it is usually considered a compliment to get back to the fundamentals. So I don’t get the use of that word, nor do I use it. Sorry.
As far as me being a fanatic Christian fundamentalist, that also is very, very unlikely, as I go to church even less than the Norwegians. I haven’t been in a church in over ten years, and don’t belong to any. I don’t belong to any group, NONE. No political party, no church, no Lions club, No poker clubs, nothing. Wait, I am a member of BJ’s stores. But basically, I’m not a joiner, but more of a recluse.
I think if I was a fanatical Christian fundamentalist, I would be shouting for Christians to “love your enemy as yourself” because that is what Christ was fundamentally all about. I do believe in Christ, and I attempt to follow his teachings, because the pure teachings, like the Sermon on the Mount, are very valid, I believe.
So, I am not sure why you think that you know me based on reading a couple of posts that I probably typed while I was half asleep. We sure are quick to judge these days.
I am starting to see this guy as part of an extremist political anti-immigration, nationalist organization which is willing to commit extreme violence and terrorism against children for political goals. It is the ultimate evil, in my mind, no matter what.
But as I wrote on another thread, this type of activity will become more and more common. The wacko’s of every organization seem to be becoming empowered to carry out their obscene fantasies and terrors. All groups have their extreme members, and they are all becoming active. And they all hate somone else, or have some reason to want to destroy them.
But the 99.5% of the rest of us are content to live our little lives, just struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table. So, please don’t confuse me with someone who has anything to do with this kind of stuff, because I don’t.

Part 1
I’m surprised this happened in Norway instead of here in the USA.
@DaveZx3 I have been reading comments from Norwegian posters on another forum, and they have read his manifesto (it’s apparently viral- I’ve not read it yet). So far the reaction has been that it is well written, but very disturbing. I have seen some quotes frm it, indeed disturbing, and planned out to every last detail. I find some conflicting information and wonder about the validity of your claims about his anti-nazi and pro-homosexual views. He was in fact a member of the EDL (English Defense League), which is supposedly an anti-extremist, right wing activist group speaking out against immigration, however- perusing the killer’s manifesto shows that this may indeed just be a PR front for the group. As was recounted by the person from the UK, this group’s dealings almost always involve violence despite their “anti-extremist” PR image. His quote:
The Freemasonary part of this story, is apparently his trying to recreate the Knights Templar in some form. This was the video version of his manifesto (from what I hear): http://www.veoh.com/watch/v21123164bZCBQeZ8
re: video games This is the usual target for the MSM to deflect attention away from the common denominator (elephant in the room) or in other words: Right Wing Christian Fundamentalist. There’s no denying it. According to his manifesto, his participation in those video games were a front- a distraction (yes he went into that much detail).

There is no doubt that evil is found in every quarter, even in peaceful Norway. And this guy is evil, because evil is what it takes to murder innocent people arbitrarily such as what he apparently did.
Hard to blame it on Christian ideology, since Norway seems to have an extremely weak Christian population, only about 2% going to church weekly. I think they have a watered down state-sponsored, protestant-type religion, which hardly has any inflammatory elements to it. This guy ascribed to ‘cultural Christianity’, which is like saying, he liked the perceived results of Christianity, but could not be bothered with following the tenets. He may have called himself Christian, but he did not murder because of of a commitment to Christ.
Hard to blame it on right-wing extremism, since he was a member of the Progress Party, right-center at best. He wrote anti-nazi views, pro-homosexual views, and had many other non-hard right positions based on his own words. He did like guns and the types of video games glorifying violence. He seemed to be all over the place with his thoughts.
He used to be, apparently, a member of Freemasonry, and I am not sure what that means, since the Masons that I know are very culturally diverse, not known for any extremist terrorism.
He did have, as did his political party, an anti-immigration view, believing that uncontrolled immigration was putting extreme financial pressures on the very generous liberal policies of little Norway.
This anti-immigrationism is becoming a growing phenomenon in Europe, and is a viewpoint shared by a wide spectrum of the political landscape. It is not uncommon to see these views coming out of liberal, labor, conservative and socialist orientated parties. The major issues seem to be that recent immigrants are not integrating into their various societies, as well as economic considertions as well.
There is no need to mitigate the evil of this latest nut case. Nor is there any need to blame it on any political or cultural extremism, as there was nothing really extreme about his politics, only his personal thoughts.
The blame here goes mostly on the individual, who, unable to discern acceptable limits for expression of not uncommon views, takes such purely evil actions as that which we see.
He was an individual Norweigan nut case, but not a nut case anything Norweigan politics or Norweigan religion can be blamed for.
That said, authorities will obviously investigate the rhetoric of the groups this nut belonged to in an effort to see if there are any inflammatory elements which could motivate others to commit the same types of crimes.
The scary thing is that if the violent video games this guy seemed to like caused his crime, then America is going to be in big, big trouble very soon, as millions share that affliction.
