The Breivik Manifesto
I am skimming through the 1,518 pages of the Breivik terrorist manifesto, 2083 - A European Declaration Of Independence (long PDF). It must be a work of several years and I have no doubt that it is genuine.
There are the usual tips on how to make bombs, a diary of his describing how he prepared his deed, a biography and personal notes on friends and relatives, a political program consisting of a lot of ideological right wing chapters copied from neo-fascist bloggers in Europe, the U.S. and from likudnik zionists, his ideas and regulations for an underground knight order including what medals it will provide for what deeds, ranked lists of enemies and targets and some more detailed political ideas which may be his own.
While Breivik emphasizes on every corner that his stand is anti-nazi and not fascist such statements are then immediately followed by typical nazi and fascist ideas.
There is emphasis of a nordic race, plans of creating a pan-nordic union, detailed "cultural conservatism" pieces (anti-abortion etc.) as the tea party and evangelicals understands it, antisemitism, support for ethnic cleansing by Israel but also elsewhere, calls for crusades to conquer several middle east countries and extreme nationalism. He is quite clear about the "necessity" to kill lots of people to achieve these goals.
It is a wide field and quite a complete agenda for a new praetorian-dictatorial system. A 50 year program to create a bunch of national-socialist states in Europe.
While the outer argument is a fight against a perceived Muslim take over of Europe, the primary targets he lists are not those Muslims but those political forces who, in his mind, allow and further this perceived takeover. His primary target is simply the political left, though he names it differently.
At one point Breivik copies from the Unabomber manifesto without naming him: The original:
20. Notice the masochistic tendency of leftist tactics. Leftists protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke police or racists to abuse them, etc. These tactics may often be effective, but many leftists use them not as a means to an end but because they PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a leftist trait.
Breivik's version:
Notice the masochistic tendency of cultural Marxist tactics. Cultural Marxists protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke police or racists to abuse them, etc. These tactics may often be effective, but many cultural Marxists use them not as a means to an end but because they PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a cultural Marxist trait.
His "cultural marxists" are the left, which to him includes all people who call for tolerant, "multicultural" societies. The target he hit, a youth camp of social-democrats, is exactly what he argues to aim for.
The rightwing blogs, forums and authors in Europe where he posted and copied from are now all busy to distance themselves from him. But there is no denying that they provided the ideas, ground and fertilizer on which Breivik grew.
The manifesto is the program and the killing of over ninety of the Norwegian Labor Youth was the program lauch and the starting point of a marketing campaign to distribute it. Surrendering to the police, staying alive to use the propaganda value of a public trial is part of that campaign. So far all that worked out as planned.
While the Breivik argument is false and neither logical nor intellectual consistent, it will find new followers. Over the next years we can expect smaller amateur copycat attacks of wannabe Breiviks. But there will also be more serious ones by those who will follow the ideological strain he laid out.
The target will be the political left.

i think you are correct b. it is another form of the strategy of tension carried out against the left in the 1970's. where both the state & extrajudicial elements of the state act against the left in all its forms. in this moment since the collapse of capitalism in 2008 where there is a flowering not so much of the left but of popular constituencies which are connected to the left & are indeed offering the left guidance as was/is the case in latin america
the blood & soil ideology of this nutcase is very far from marginal in scandinavia specifically & europe generally
the threat against the 'left' has just increased exponentially

Had a quick look at the screed. It is genuine that is for sure.
Was amused to read on some blog comments that it couldn’t be his pen because the English was way excellent, and he only ‘made mistakes’ on purpose. Norwegians are supposed to be trolls and Vikings and uneducated!
His political attitudes are perfectly standard, for N Europe, within a certain narrow fringe. -> As I understand them with a cursory look, this portrait is only intended to flesh out, illustrate, and may not apply to him in all the details, but it is a definite *type*:
Hyper conservative, deeply nationalistic, socially traditional - nothing new there.
That translates, in parts of the North, to ‘anti-totalitarianism’ :
- anti-communist, see USSR, Mao, Pol Pot, called anti-Marxist, and by extension against socialism, the left wing, labor.
- anti-Nazi, for historical reasons, but justified under the totalitarian umbrella. Against dictatorships, e.g. Saddam.
- xenophobic. That is now anti-muslim, full stop. (Maybe with extra for an extreme radical like him. Secular Turks? Chinese?) So, anti-immigration, blah.
- Zionist of some kind, in line with atlanticism (see all above) and ‘each to his own land’ argument, and supporting anti-islam, seeing islam as an invading force, the incarnation of terrorism, and so on. Ethnic purity, with Muslims replacing Jews as the ‘polluters’..
- not explicitly ‘anti-globalization’ as nationalistic considerations bear the brunt and the arguments are not worked out
- Christian but in N Europe not literal or anything like that, simply adherence to the traditional religion, the more traditional the better, i.e. it is a question of ‘schools’ that are socially instituted and have authority, and not Bible belief - e.g. Catholicism superior! An added consideration is that religion is not state run (strong anti-statism without being economically or otherwise libertarian.)
- Mason or such, that is the brotherhood thing (no idea to what he belonged or how he was involved etc.)
Anyway, a type as said.
That he did not go and bomb a mosque or kill Muslims is because his co-nationalists, from the left-ish wing, are the real traitors; not proper patriots, collaborating with the ‘enemy’ and so forth. Muslims themselves are vermin, not worth thinking about - right in line with rabid nationalism.

i have not even bothered to read his gobledygook - it floods all forms of media one way or another - his specificity does not interest me in the least other than in the sense where as you point out, refers to more general trends
germans of b's generation, very like my father - see the fascists as the vermin they are & rather than dialogue with such idiocies - prefer to acquaint fascist faces with the pavement - it is still for me the only correct methodology - because as an extrajudicial force they are nothing if they cannot control the streets
every time b post photographs from anti fascist demo's in germany - my heart beats better
Posted by: remembereringgiap | Jul 24 2011 18:57 utc | 4
yes r giap. yes.
to add one extra snippet: the reason for killing so many young, teen, ‘leftists’, is a generational matter. in norway, and other scandinavia, the young represent the future, they are not expendable trash, and that in itself is a national, blood lines, or cultural belonging kind of stance. it may well be that the bombs in the center were but a diversion to distract the forces of order away from the main aim, but that is just speculation.

It is IMPOSsIBLE for a man of 32 years old to write and publish a document like that.
Probably is a compendium of many works of many people .
I dont believe in any sense that were an lonely work.

an idiot,
For the edjucat’d and obsessive with heaps of free time, no financial difficulties, no distractions such as girls, drink, drugs, work, family troubles, sick babies with two other children, writing only 1.5K pp. by age 32, is a minimalist feat!
Don’t forget that for such ppl length, thoroughness, diligence, piling up the words, considering all arguments, rambling on, and on, is self-justification. He writes himself it is 3 book lengths --and he spent all his money on it.
I have know several 32 year-olds who have written 3 books. In fact such ppl are all over the net - go to unpublished novels etc.
It is the beginning of a Life Work. Which he hopes will now be Read. He got that right.

b, as the targets seem to include Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and the Prince of Wales, Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and Jose Manuel Barroso, I would not be too worried on the left.
the whole brew has a tea party libertarian anti-establishment fantasy lord of the rings copy and paste synthetic smell. there is probably computer game stuff in there, too.
the point of reference for some reason is the US, starting with the title "A European Declaration of Independence"
the anti-muslim stuff is not Nazi type racist, it is clash of civilisation, Geert Wilders, in a German context it would be Thilo Sarrazin.
so ...

'antisemitism, support for ethnic cleansing by Israel but also elsewhere'
a bit of a contradiction, unless is meant cleansing of jews and arabs from nordic countries and and cleansing of arabs from israel.
But this sort of thinking is understandable: esp ironic is that zionist jews also think this way, while they promote multiculturalism elsewhere...eg left wing blogger :Jared Israel
Posted by: brian | Jul 24 2011 21:39 utc | 9
it's hard to apply logic to this manifesto, but...
i spose Breivik thinks israel must be preserved as a dumping ground for jews, as jews are cleansed from europe.
Breivik's "logic", as applied to the US, would mean that americans ship the latinos back to mexico, the blacks back to africa, and the jews to israel... and if they resist, we round them up and shoot them.
it's always looked to me like the disintegration of the US would start with race conflicts, managed by people who'd profit (in money and power) from those conflicts...
i imagine that arms dealer grampas are now sitting their grandhildren on their knees, lecturing about the coming opportunities... stingers and strellas to mexicans in the southwest, AKs and armalites to blacks in the cities and the south, RPGs to white supremacists in idaho.
Breivik's manifesto will be useful in setting a tone that will serve as a backdrop for the coming race wars...
we can expect the same old fatcats to profit from those wars.
Posted by: groundresonance | Jul 25 2011 2:31 utc | 10
i misspelled "strela"... if you're googling.
it's hard to tell how long the US will hang together as the base of neocon operations... it could be quite a while, given the current setup... not to mention the returning vets, volunteers all... their volunteer status showing that they're not much more than mercenaries who are as likely to shoot americans as afghans or iraqis.
the pretense of democracy currently in place will eventually wither away, the gloves will come off, and we'll either knuckle under or be neutralized, until things get so bad that we'll be distracted by race wars.
it will all have to be carefully managed to maximize opportunities to strip assests and loot.

He targeted his own people and now those people are rethinking their tolerance on immigration. This is how RT news is framing it.
While the Breivik argument is false and neither logical nor intellectual consistent, it will find new followers. Over the next years we can expect smaller amateur copycat attacks of wannabe Breiviks. But there will also be more serious ones by those who will follow the ideological strain he laid out.
The target will be the political left.
This conclusion starts out making reasonable assumptions but concludes on what I believe to be an unnecessarily pessimistic note.
Kaczynski was a coward. Brievic is more so.
In my opinion cowardice offends and repels infinitely greater numbers of people than it can ever hope to recruit.

"In my opinion cowardice offends and repels infinitely greater numbers of people than it can ever hope to recruit.
if you believe that might makes right, and you're armed to the teeth, what does "numbers of people" have to do with it?
it's becoming obvious that the neocon/israeli public relations effort is failing... one of its most prominent failures being norway...
the amount of people you alienate doesnt matter if you got the guns... and that attitude, on a global scale, is demonstrated by the neocons' nuclear primacy.

Hoarsewhisperer,
i don't mean to get off topic, but Kaczynski was more a victim than a coward, or maybe you don't know he was subjected to some "tests" during his college days by a sadist?

@ Lizard.
Kaczynski is a victim?
Tell someone who cares...
Posted by: Hoarsewhisperer | Jul 25 2011 6:32 utc | 16
@ groundresonance...
I don't believe might makes right. If Breivik's vision relies on guns then it's a vision of Burma - an elitist fiefdom with a dysfunctional economy.
Israel's PR is failing because Neocons and Zionists are cowards and (axiomatically) liars who, like Kaczynski and Breivik, tend to be seduced by their own propaganda.
Imo the neocon's nuclear primacy doctrine is a juvenile wank with as much credibility as Israel's imaginary nuclear arsenal and Ronnie Raygun's Missile Defense pipe dream.
Nukes are an effective deterrent against large scale military assault, no matter what ill-informed stories the Neocons like to swap with each other.
Posted by: Hoarsewhisperer | Jul 25 2011 6:40 utc | 17
well, yes, we all have to admit that israel's nuke arsenal is imaginary, because that gets israel off the hook when it comes to the kennedy assassination.
do you spose it's only a coincidence that the last american president to successfully defy israel was eisenhower?
kennedy tried, but that was the end of kennedy, wasnt it?
now then, the neocons' nuke primacy might be a "juvenile wink", but what if the neocons themselves believe in it like israelis believe in their right to treat palestinians like dirt?
what if neocons are still able to believe in the benevolence of their global hegemony despite the fact that their project's just getting started, and they've already bombed three or four countries to smithereens?
some benevolence, huh?
but then all those bombing victims are of one inferior race on another, so they have no right to complain.
Posted by: groundresonance | Jul 25 2011 6:50 utc | 18
and maybe it's time to start thinking about american goy neocons in terms of Breivik's vision, especially his support for israel as a repository for jewish undesirables...
what's a wyoming hillbilly like cheney doing, supporting israel? ...could he be thinking a couple jumps down the line, when he or rummy or jeb bush or some other goy declares martial law, nationalizes the media, and deports all the AIPAC/AEI/JINSA jews to israel?
or are zionists so secure in america that they figure there's no danger of that happening?

listen, an idiot, for this to be a false flag operation it would have to be the Norwegian Social Democrats plotting to demonize cultural conservatives by killing their very own elite youth camp - do you think that is likely?
the guy has willfully presented himself on the internet as a beautiful blonde beast, he has made sure to get no possible human sympathies whatsoever by targeting mostly indigenous beautiful blonde kids, emphasis on kids, all that to market his treatise on conservative values, a large part of which (preservation of dominance of Judeo-Christian culture) is the undercurrent of European mainstream conservative discourse, aiming for a leading role in a right wing scene that he had been working for without success.
by using the internet and finally the media this way he has, unconsciously, put a visual - therefore most effective - end to the image of Muslims as the dangerous other. so yes, the effect is false flag, he was stupid enough to fall for it himself though (and he probably did not realise what the combination of his looks and his deeds would do to people's consciousness)
it would be stupid for the left to react and give this guy the importance of an enemy. he self destructs.

@brian 'antisemitism, support for ethnic cleansing by Israel but also elsewhere'
a bit of a contradiction, unless is meant cleansing of jews and arabs from nordic countries and and cleansing of arabs from israel.
Not a contradiction but the general trend in rightwing "western" organizations. They primarily support Israel while in the back of their racist heads dream of killing "the jews".
In the words of Breivig (page 1163):
Were the majority of the German and European Jews disloyal? Yes, at least the so called liberal Jews, similar to the liberal Jews today that opposes nationalism/Zionism and supports multiculturalism. Jews that support multiculturalism today are as much of a threat to Israel and Zionism (Israeli nationalism) as they are to us. So let us fight
together with Israel, with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists. Conservative Jews were loyal to Europe and should have been
rewarded. Instead, he just targeted them all… So, are the current Jews in Europe and US disloyal? The multiculturalist (nation-wrecking) Jews ARE while the conservative Jews ARE NOT. Aprox. 75% of European/US Jews support multiculturalism while aprox. 50% of Israeli Jews does the same. This shows very clearly that we must embrace the remaining loyal Jews as brothers rather than repeating the mistake of the NSDAP.
Anders Behring Breivik makes it clear in this video of his, see link below, that he detests "global capitalists" and their Marxist agenda for world domination. But apparently he doesn't understand that not all Marxists are alike. Otherwise, he would know that Marxism, if thought of as a bird, has two separate and distinct wings: its right-wing advocates socialism for the rich and the ruling class of rentiers, while its left-wing advocates socialism for working and middle-class folks. This makes right-wing Marxists, for all intents and purposes, like night and day compared to their left-wing brethren.
And since "global capitalists" tend to be wealthy and members of the rentier class, then Breivik should be directing his anger and hate toward right-wing Marxists, not left-wing Marxists. On top of that, "global capitalists" also tend to be Jewish rather than Muslim, so if anything, he should oppose Israel's brutal treatment of the people of Palestine and all of the numerous US-led wars being waged against the Muslim World.
Unfortunately, this leaves me with only one conclusion: Breivik, who's both a self-described conservative Christian and a lifelong member of the working class, is an unsuspecting victim of the Zionist propaganda machine. David Horowitz and other prominent, silver-tongued Zionists have brainwashed him into believing that Islamists are responsible for the downfall and demise of Europe's middle class -- when in fact it is the Zionists who are responsible for this. They are doing this by using right-wing Marxist tactics to transfer even more wealth and power to the already rich rentiers of Europe.
What I find particularly disgusting about this is that Zionists, especially the ones from the neoconservative camp, know that there is way too much friction and animosity between Israel and the Muslim world for them to even get away with committing terrorist acts against those who oppose Israel's apartheid against Palestinians and its quest for Manifest Destiny in the Middle East. So instead, they seek out extremely gullible and easily manipulated people like Breivik to commit their terrorist acts for them.
The Koch Brothers and other wealthy political donors with a neoliberal agenda are getting away with using clueless teabagging trailer trash like Sarah Palin to push through legislation that'll destroy what's left of America's social safety net and expand corporate welfare programs for America's moneyed elites. So I imagine that David Horowitz and other Zionist propagandists with a neoconservative agenda also believe that they can get away with using right-wing Christian euro-trash like Breivikto to terrorized the pro-labor, anti-war community into keeping their mouths shut about how Israel has transformed itself into the new Nazi Germany of our time, backed by the financial might of Wall Street and the military might of the Pentagon.

what turgid nonsense this pitiable 'manifesto'
Posted by: remembereringgiap | Jul 25 2011 22:31 utc | 28
As Glenn “Glennzilla” Greenwald most aptly explains in his piece "The Omnipotence of Al Qaeda and Meaninglessness of 'Terrorism'", see link below, there's definitely a double standard at play here in the way that many in our mainstream press and most of our political leaders responded to the mass killings in Norway. When they initially thought that the killings were done by al Qaeda or by some other radical Muslim group, they were quick to demonize and vilifies the killer as a terrorist, who's out to destroy the Western world as we know it. Yet when the truth came out that the killer is home-grown fundamentalist Christian, who's an ardent supporter of Israel in its mission to commit apartheid bordering on genocide against the people of Palestine, then they abruptly blew him off as a mere madman.
We all should be asking, why this is so? Why do we label Islamic militants as dangerous terrorists who are a threat to our national security, while we label Christian militants -- or even Jewish militants, for that matter -- as mere madmen who aren't a threat to our national security? I think it's because the US and its military-industrial complex have a lot invested in the war on Islamic terrorism. And this wouldn't be so had our foreign policy in the Muslim world not been largely centered around protecting Israel's interest in the region. So whenever a right-wing Christian militant goes on a killing spree on Western soil, as was the case in Norway, our lame-stream press and our lame-brained politicians always act fast and furious to downplay it.
They do this in order to prevent any defense dollars from being diverted away from protecting Israel's interests and conducting our never-ending wars in the Muslim world. This is what happens when an Islamophobic country like Israel has full control over our foreign policy. And it doesn't help that our lame-stream press and our lame-brained politicians have completely sold out to the Zionist power structure, enslaving themselves as occupied territories of Israel. They know that if they fail to hype the war on Islamic terrorism and fail to treat the Israelis as God's chosen people, the Zionists and their propaganda machine will blacklist them as Jew haters, forcing them to resign from their lofty positions in the press or politics.

this leaves me with only one conclusion: Breivik, who's both a self-described conservative Christian and a lifelong member of the working class, is an unsuspecting victim of the Zionist propaganda machine. wrote Cynthia.
The mainstream ‘extreme’ right has been passing in the last 10, 15, years from demonizing Jews and affirming the Nazi heritage (or just questioning the most egregious hype about the camps, etc.) to being Zionists, strong / light / indirect, swapping one oppressor for another, and blithely adhering to the most successful strong man, as perceived.
It is a fair certainty that Sarah Palin exhibits this pattern, if one could be bothered to research it. It is true of the Le Pen family, from father to daughter...Marine le Pen is now gingerly supporting Israel, and certainly has given up anti-semitism in favor or anti-Islam...
Older, or perhaps more genuine, or those who just haven’t caught up, xtreme Right/Libertarian/anarchist tinge (Goths for ex.) still, at least in Switz. and to mention one Southern EU, Spain (afaik) are in the majority on the side of the Palestinians, tooth and nail.
Why the anti-muslim crusade? They are sitting, for a an impressive part, on the life blood of industrial societies (oil) and do, in fact, have the means to control its sale / use.

You might want to read up on Marxism?
its right-wing advocates socialism for the rich that is, sorry to say, nonsense.
Hi, I more or less agree with what has been said and discussed here, but the last three days I went through that pamphlet and was FRIGHTENED AS NEVER BEFORE HOW EASY THEORY BECAME PRAXIS WITHIN DAYS. I'm going with b. that we have to expect a lot of any sort of copycat actions by others in future in Europe. I have two daughters the same age as the youths being slaughtered on the island, I'm a cultural marxist of the worst 68'type in Breivik / Brewick terms, it means that not me but my kids are fair game for those ... (I really don't know how to name them), ready to be killed because they represent the future generation of multi culturalists and cultural marxists.
Breivik really knows what he is writing and doing, he gives a comprehenisive theoretical justification for practical fascism. He is starting the whole pamphlet with a critique of the "Critical Theory" school of Adorno, Marcuse, Horckheimer et.al., more on a wikipedia level, even putting Erich Fromm in that line, who rather is a esoteric "Kuschelbär" as we would say in german, but nevertheless ends up with the french decontructionists of Derrida et.al. He sees Lukacs and Reich as the one responsible for critical theory, and then he comes to the worst of all, Friedrich Engels and his "Der Ursprung der Familie, des Privateigentums und des Staates" (The origin of family...) In Breivek's eyes Engels and Reich are the ones who developed the concept of "matriarchy", sexual liberty and women's emencipation directly opposed to patriarchy which was the foundation of thousands of years of the real christian knightdom he is hanging on to. He openly calls for destruction of "feminism" and the alleged "matriarchy" system of today because women, by refusing to fulfill their so-called "reproductive" duties (he even gives a number for the duty: 2,1 children per woman) open the ways for the muslim demographic war, fighting through their "over - reproductive" women against the old christian conservative european order.
It is in one way frightening to see not a total dumb fascist but somebody who knows what we cultural marxists have read and studied and what belongs to our way of life in a sort of our "Überbau", and on the other hand, out of this knowledge of our lifes, his justifications of a total war against everybody he sees as cultural marxist, multiculturalist, and their offspring. His terror phantasies are not just phantasies, just search for the words "execute, execution, assassination", and you'll find them hundred times in the text. In the same way as the many militia groups and organisations in the US have not stopped their activities, maybe realising where these would end, after McVeigh's Oklahoma bombing in 1995, the european followers of Breivik will try to copy the island and city center killings. And he himself already also said in that pamphlet, and I believe he will do, if he'll manage to escape prison some time in future he is not going to hide himself but will go for the next killing, he thinks he will make at least 5 cultural marxists and /or multiculturalists within the first 2 hours before being recaptured by police forces.

you will find in a less panicked reading that most of his babble relating to cultural marxism are simply appropriations of human slugs like david horowitz, daniel pipes & whole group of their sites where this unclose reading is normal practice - this is not an interesting mind, it is a collator of this & that he misses some very important connections, even as an enemy, as his mentors do - the contradictions within marxist thought in the last century & now are legion & so are the refinements. only someone who is taking their 'reading' from elsewhere can make those kind of mistake & there are many, very many
do not be frightened - on the contrary these fascist will be defeated as they have been before - whether in the salient of kursk or the firebases of khe sahn - even when they try to march on the streets - they are easily defeated. they are dangerous only in the way the state uses extralegal forces as they did in italy in the 1970's with the full compliance of the state
i have wasted too much time with this stupid & sordid text & it is necessary to say to people who have not read it that there are tens of pages taken up with uniforms, medals, how-to's, details that are comic if they were not so preposterous
it is a text written by someone with too much time on their hands to actually view reality concretely. it reeks of the popular culture that cultured such a monster & no doubt this malignant culture will produce more like this fool
though i remain, a cultural bolshevik

sorry, r'giap, I'm not panicking, but I was frightened reading that stuff, not meaning that I still remain frightened. I also know that he and his likes is not going to win, but his theoretical writing as bullshit as it is PLUS his murder practice directed on us by way of killing our kids is new, at least for our generation and here in WEurope in the last 6 decades. I know from some remembrances of your writings that you are older than me / us and stood in some real fire, not just in some more or less quite comfortable police and prison cells for some months. So you may think differently, but we are just confronted with a new kind of enemy or the enemy behaving absolutely different than before, not throwing words and insults at each other but having to hide from real bullets.
I definitely share your optimism, keep well.

rgiap-
Good to see you, let me raise a toast to you and may you live a long and healthy life... at the very least I hope you're feeling better than you did this past winter.
I hate to admit how close to being a "Breivik" I was in my past. I wanted to fight the good fight and make the world safe for women and children, not knowing that the very thing I was longing for, battle, was far more damaging to woman and children than anything I would have been fighting against. When we're fed half-baked histories, outright lies and statistics since our youth, it makes people crazy, and crazy people believe and do crazy things. Look at what the Breivik creep just did, and I rest my case.
9/11 was the eyeopener for me. This event will probably do the same for many others. As most of you regulars know, deep in your souls, this isn't the way we're meant to live. And to examine the reason why the world is all screwed-up backwards (and forewords) you need to dig deep into history, the real history, not the crap we're fed in schools. Look to the robber barons of the late 1800s and nobility of any generation and follow the money, just follow the money. Soon you begin to see just how fucked we are. The names never change, not really. The PTB just keep getting richer and richer while fucking everything up for the rest of us. Assholes!
I believe this isn't going to always be the case... I do believe the collective conscience is going to awaken soon and when it does this is going to stop. Think French Revolution on a world wide scale and maybe, after all the dirty work is done, enough people will remember these times to keep them at bay in the future. Maybe.
Peace
If you are the b who claimed Dugin is pro-Israel at Cannonfire, last I heard he is certainly NOT.
He considers Israel an integral part of the American Empire.
He abhors the Empire and wants to build a Russian-Euro Empire with Islamic junior partners-not Israel. The elite would be mostly Christian/pagan Russian Slavs of course.

don't be sorry, it was a shocking event & i am really moved that young people can dream & that a monster tries to destroy that dreaming, is shocking palpably shocking & i say that knowing more than a million iraqis have been murdered & the world has felt so little, that as we speak, people ordinary & wonderful people are dying in libya on a whim of empire - but still this fact of an island of dreamers (whose social democracy i do not share) can be so touched by the savagery of one buffoon is troubling, deeply troubling. once long ago we tested our boundaries through acts of courage , now it seems by act of unbelievable savagery & cowardice

@Ken Hopp If you are the b who claimed Dugin is pro-Israel at Cannonfire,
I do not read nor comment at Cannonfire (whatever that might be)
The comments to this entry are closed.
Quite the opposite. My feeling reading a couple of forums (not specially rightwing) is that they are cheering or at least trying to argue that he was right on reacting to supposed 'wrong doings'.
The fascists feel they are winning in the western countries. And I'm my opinion they are right.
