It was obviously planned for a very long time, months or more.

It is highly unlikely the youth camp was a target of opertunity.

+1 on that, the intelligence and the logistics alone, for the shooting and the bombs that detonated plus the two unexploded bombs speaks clearly about the coordinated effort of an organization to pull out this.

Wow, good catch fishman! Absolutely spot on. The murderer of dozens upon dozens of defenceless children and young people was indeed a far right Christian terrorist. Of course, your post might be read as "here goes another Moslem terrorist action, there's no way it could possibly be a right wing nutjob or Christian fundamentalist"; but I'm sure that would be a terrible mis-reading, right? :roll:

That guy posted a lenghty manifest claiming his worldview changed firstly in 1999 when NATO (Norway is a member) bombed fellow christians in Serbia, who only defended against muslim invaders of Albania into their traditional province of Kosovo. Remember that both roman catholic Hungarians (ugrofins) and orthodox balkanians (slavs) put the most treasure and bodies to stop muslim invasion into Europe in the late medieval and following periods, when it was most urgent. The westerners usually only watched and have been of token help. Mind you the later wars of Balkan independence in 19th century were just follow-up to that, the Ottoman empire was not able to maintain the ground in continental Europe anymore. That's just to set up some context for these discussions.

Secondly, he mentions 2009 as a point he started hard prep for this very operation. In any case without further information provided it's pointless to speculate was he a part of larger plot, we don't know. Probably most of the island shooting carried exclusively on his own, so the Oslo attacks could have been a solo act as well.

This was relatively rudimental event, no suspension of air defenses for two hours and/or running exactly same terror drills in subway as in other countries, lol. If you compare the death toll per capita in concerned countries it's almost comparable.

Should there follow some radical change in course of the Norweigan politics, be it internal (freedoms) or external (increasingly anti zionist stance) we can start debate some larger picture and who might have been involved.

edit:

Hm, watched latest tv news bulletin and they showed parts of his ~1200 pages long manifest, apart from detailed politics there are also step by step "instructables" in various forms how to engage the enemy and diaries building up his particular arsenal, apparently functional as we know now.

So, the eventuality this being an int. level operation to prop up a working terror manual to global audience of billions to create some havoc has passed the test now..

I can't think of better strategy than to make people affraid of each other at close range, irespective of skin, ideology, .. Welcome to the world of "tomorrow" where gun ownerhsip rests only with the neofeudal class again.

Diclaimer for spooks and coppers out there:

The net result will be a loss civil liberties. The people who would never do this kind of thing will be more heavily regulated and scrutinized. And the people who would do these things will circumvent those regulations and thwart the scrutiny.

Nothing is gained but more is lost.

In some ways I'm actually more shocked now finding out that it wasn't al-qaeda or an affiliate organisation, but some right-wing native nutter. What really frightens me is that only one guy with no support was able to blow up half the capital and kill almost a hundred people. If it was some big terrorist organisation behind then atleast we would have a better chance of stopping them doing it again.

White Christian Fundamentalist Terrorism in Norway 07/23/2011 by Juan Cole
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')uropol reports have long made it clear that the biggest threat of terrorism in Europe comes from separatist movements, then from the fringe left, then from the far right. In 2008, only one terrorist attack out of hundreds in Europe was committed by radical Muslims. In 2010, according to Europol [pdf], 7 persons were killed in terrorist attacks. Some 160 of these attacks that year were carried out by separatists. The number launched by people of Muslim heritage? 3. It would be silly to maintain that Muslim radicals do not pose a threat of terrorism; indeed, many plots were broken up by European police. But as an actually-existing phenomenon, terrorism in Europe is mainly the work of Christian-heritage people. For more on the Norwegian far right, see Firstpost.com.

When Extremism Learns to Blow things Up$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he revelation by CNN that Norwegian right wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik kept a diary in which he obsessed about the dangers of cultural Marxism, multiculturalism, and the “Islamification” of Europe will remind many Americans of the tactics of our own right wing (only these themes have been taken up by people much more mainstream in the US than Breivik is in Norway!)

I expect Conservative Christian leaders to apologize for this and preach sermons on how violence is against Christian teachings.*

That guy was a member of Stormfront and got banned for being anti-white. All he wanted to do is talk about his love of Jews. He is a zionist, but of course it's better to stick him to people who care about existence of their race.

Actually he is quite well off.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')esterday other chilling details emerged about Breivik – a right-wing loner who lived with his mother and had been plotting his killing spree for two years.

The blue-eyed blond portrayed himself as a successful entrepreneur who made a million by the age of 24 from a fruit-and-veg business. But behind the boyish good looks was a Nazi ­sympathiser who admired extremist groups – including the English Defence League and the British National Party.

Breivik was a straight-A student at school and went to Oslo Commerce School – an institution devoted to ­business and management. He launched his own firm, Breivik Geofarm, 10 years ago and claimed to have become a millionaire within two years.

Until recently his main home was a flat in a wealthy suburb of Oslo, but months ago he switched to a remote farmhouse outside the capital, where he lived with his mum.

Detectives believe it was from this farmhouse that he stockpiled the supplies for his killing spree. On May 4 he ordered six tonnes of fertiliser – the likely ­ingredient for the bomb that ripped through the Government district in Oslo.

Piles of the fertiliser were yesterday neatly stacked at the bottom of his garden in large white sacks and were being searched by forensic officers. They were also inspecting the flat and neatly kept farmhouse in a hunt for clues.

Norway is notorious for its anti christian hate crimes.

There was a very bizzare heavy metal sub genre that was really barmy. There may have been a couple of murders or I might be confusing it with another group.

Provo IRA mainland cells seemed to be about 4 people although obviously they had their Nothern Ireland support. But they pulled off some pretty spectacular bombings in the late 80s early 90s. ANFO can be put together relatively easily. PIRAs biggest concern (unlike the suicide bombers or this guy) was not getting caught to launch repeated attacks. Id not be suprised to see this as a one man operation, although I am open minded.

What do you mean "nutter"?

This guy was simply doing what many Right Wingers promise regularly.

Their manifestos of hate are not even news - the regular missives they create about how to get rid of the people they think are the "problem of the day" (Muslims, Liberals, blacks, Mexicans, illegals, Tax Collectors, Feminazis, Child Protection Services, the ATF tracking them for selling serious illegal military or covert weapons, much more) are vicious and indifferent to how many innocent people they harass, threaten, assault, murder or expel, these things are regularly present and the Right wingers make piteous wails of "oppression pf theor rights" when someone suggests they do not have a right to do these things to other people.

It IS a "big terrorist organisation", at least as organized as Al Qaeda ever has been.

A mindset is not an organization. Anybody who genuinely believes the Bible believes at some point the government will become the tool of the antichrist. I remember hot July revivals when preachers pointed to the signs and warned that the end times were near. It was the height of the cold war and nuclear Armageddon was very real. People would sit in the congregation and nod approvingly but none of them would have ever considered blowing up the local post office as the closest arm of the federal government. A general agreement is not a conspiracy. For the most part, Christians believe the end times are coming not that they are here.

A handful of old fat wannabes that make up what calls itself the militia sitting around in their surplus camouflage dreaming about defending against the zombie hoards is just a fantasy. It is not real. If you want to make it real, rev up the government and start kicking in doors. Convince the Christians in this country that they have been deemed enemies of the state and you are going to have a whole s**t pot full of problems.

I’m telling you leave it alone. Let this guy go down in history as an isolated kook. Don’t make him out to be the first martyr of the New Knights Templar.
