12.07 Telegraph reporter Peter Hutchinson, who is in Oslo, reports that six men have been arrested in connection to the attacks:

I'm at an address in east Oslo where police are searching premises after conducting an armed raid earlier this morning. Officers are scouring the derelict building near to the capital's bypass in connection with the attacks on Friday. Neighbours reported that six men, dressed only in their underwear, wear taken away by police this morning.

From Sky News:
Norway Police Arrest Six Over Terror Attacks

Norwegian police have arrested six more people following an armed raid launched in connection with the twin attacks that killed at least 92 people, Sky sources say.

Officers from the police's counter-terrorism force, known as Delta, swooped on a property in the east of Oslo earlier today.

Sky can reveal that police are trying to access two chemical containers at the address.

Police confirmed the operation but would not give further details or comment whether there were any arrests.

It comes as the suspect accused of Friday's massacre confesses to police that he carried out the killings but says he did not break the law.

Police said 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik also revealed to detectives that he acted alone.

So, does this mean that the ‘lone psycho’ narrative is going to shift to a more traditional ‘Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy’ meme??

Look, we already know the narrative:

“Breivik labels himself a Justiciar Knight Commander for Knights Templar Europe in his manifesto. He also pointedly makes thanks to “brothers and sisters in England, Germany, Sweden and the US” (amongst others)”

If there are more than two involved it becomes a matter of organized Amish Insurgents.

Norwegian insurgents, who’da thunk it. They have balls.

Something that might be worth looking into is tax supported churches in Norway. I’m not finding a whole lot but it sounds like religions in Norway are given official designations and people officially register with them.

Church of Norway (pdf file)

The Church of Norway today

In 2005 approximately 76% of all infants were baptized in the Church of Norway. 1290 parishes have 9000 parish council members, 1400 pastors and 6200 other employees.

The Church of Norway is one of the few remaining state churches in the world today. Its long-standing episcopal order was supplemented by a synodical structure in the twentieth century. Parish Council members are elected by the church members. These councils in turn elect the eleven Diocesan Councils and the 86 representatives to the General Synod of the church. A growing number of pastors are women (19% in 2007) and three of the eleven bishops are women (2007).

The Sami people are a significant part of the Church of Norway. Since 1992 there has been a Sami Church Council. Its task is to develop Sami church life built on Sami languages and cultures.

The King is the constitutional head of the Church of Norway. His authority in this regard is exercised jointly with the government within the Council of State. Until 1989 most categories of pastors were named either by the Council of State or by the Government. Since then all pastors are appointed by the Diocesan Councils, with the exception of deans and bishops, who are still named by the Council of State.

Strong lay movements in the last two centuries, organized through domestic “inner mission” and societies for mission abroad, have shaped the Church of Norway by gathering groups under lay preachers in prayer houses.

It's like 95% Lutheran (I could be a few points off on that). And I think that, like Germany, a portion of the taxes goes straight to the Lutheran Church. Not sure if the small Catholic Church (only 20-50 thousand) gets any tax support or if Muzzies can direct their taxes to their mosques or not.

This is an interesting point.

According to Norwegian church law, Municipal Councils are obliged to finance a certain level of activity in the Church of Norway parishes. In 2006 the total grants from the Municipal Councils amounted to approximately NOK 1.9 billion.

In addition, the Parliament (Stortinget) granted more than NOK 1.2 billion to cover the salaries of the clergy as well as diocesan and central church administration. Currently - The future relationship between church and state is currently the subject of a broad discussion, involving both the church itself and the political parties. Any fundamental change in this relationship must be decided on by the Norwegian Parliament.

Spiegel Online has a photo. You can just see a little bit of the house but it looks like a shack., especially by Scandanavian standards.

Spiegel reports:

..the perp admitted to the bombing and shooting but that he does not consider himself guilty of any crime.

..the perp gave himself up without a fight and had ranked (considered) his possible arrest as a 'transition to the propaganda phase'.

..the perp has a lawyer, but on Monday he will present his motive to the court himself. He also wants the session to be public.

... the perp told the police re the murders that he ranks (considers) his actions as 'cruel but necessary'.

Spiegel kept using einstufen when reporting how the police described how the perp viewed his deeds. einstufen means to rank, scale, judge, etc. I found that somewhat strange.

The Norwegian police are also saying that in view of the extent of the killings one has to doubt the perp's soundness of mind.

Nothing further about the 6 new arrests other than what has been posted already.

13.14 Norwegian police have released the six suspects briefly detained following the raid in Oslo this morning (see 12.07).

A statement released by the police says no explosives were found at the location, and no evidence was found to connect the suspects with Friday's acts of terror.

At a guess, the Norwegian police are just thrashing around and looking busy.

Einstufen can mean to categorize, pigeonhole, assess, sort out, order. That’s how it’s being used here. Der Spiegel is saying “this is how he, in his mind, sorts out, these matters, how he assembles, categorizes the various aspects.”

Update from the above link:

13.26 It appears Breivik stole large chunks of his manifesto from the Unabomber.

While most of the document is acurately sourced, Breivik makes no reference to Ted Kaczynski, who killed three people and injured 23 others during a 20 year long mail bombing spree under the alias Unabomber.

Brevik often copies Kaczynski word for word, only changing the word ‘leftist’ for ‘cultural Marx’.

If you read Breivik’s Knight’s templar Log - there was a Serbian involved who was directing Breivik.

This log goes into great deal of the planning of the killings.

You are being charitable towards those Keystone Kops.

Any so called "SWAT TEAM" which takes 90 minutes to respond to a terrorist attack and cowardly sit until the perp runs out of ammo or stops shooting and is that obviously "un-prepared" (as reported their Helicopter was not available...what, no backup, no civilian chopper they could use?) should be disbanded and (like the ones who sat around with their fingers up their butts at Columbine) deserve to be condemned and blamed for many needless deaths on the Island.

Heck one cop with a long gun riding in a helo (or dropped on the Island) could have taken this perp out easily.

DISGRACEFULL and I'm betting that our Seal Team/Delta Force members are shaking their heads and referring to these un-professional, wusses, in not very flattering ways.

Latest Telegraph update:
13.51 Norwegian news organisation Dagbladet has a story on a man with a military background who 'saved 20 to 30 youths from the Utoya Island shooting'.

Marcel Gleffe was drinking coffee with family outside his wagon when he heard shots, and was among the first to reach the youths.

"The first one I picked up shouted ‘terrorist, terrorist, terrorist!” he told Dagbladet. Gleffe then took four or five trips back to the island, ferrying people to safety.

"The youths were great. They supported each other and were organised, and told me who needed first aid,” he said.

"They were glad to receive help, but were unsure of who to trust."

Mr Gleffe has been on foreign military missions, and said he recognised an automatic weapon immediately. He said did not fear for his own life.

“I did it instinctively,” he said. "You don’t become scared in a situation like that, you just do what is necessary.”

“I know the difference between fireworks and shots. I knew what it was about, and that it wasn’t just any nonsense.”

13.48 The right-wing group English Defence League, has denied that Breivik, 32, had any links with them and said they "vehemently" opposed his actions.

In a statement on its website the group wrote:

Quote Terrorism and extremism of any kind is never acceptable

We strongly oppose extremism and always reject any suggestion of us being either extremists or far-right, due to our great past record of dealing with anyone who holds such extremist views.

The Nordic Defence League also distanced itself from the killings.

13.43 Foreign Secretary William Hague has warned

that Britain's security forces may not be able to stop a Norway-style terror attack.

Mr Hague said it was harder to prevent atrocities by determined individuals than sophisticated networks such as al Qaida.

He said the Government had put expertise from crimes like the July 7 bombings at the disposal of the Norwegian authorities.

Quote The National Security Council will meet tomorrow in London and we will look at the lessons to be learned from this.

We will check that enough attention is being given to all forms of terrorism.

And of course we've put in place over the last few years - in the last government and the current government - strong defences.

We have tight firearms controls in Britain and we have very tight controls on the sale of material needed to manufacture a bomb, and we have the most highly professionally trained firearms officers in the world.

April/May 2002

I am the Norwegian delegate to the founding meeting in London, England and ordinated as the 8th Justiciar Knight for the PCCTS, Knights Templar Europe. I joined the session after visiting one of the initial facilitators, a Serbian Crusader Commander and war hero, in Monrovia, Liberia. Certain long term tasks are delegated and I am one of two who are asked to create a compendium based on the information I have acquired from the other founders during our sessions. Our primary objective is to develop PCCTS, Knights Templar into becoming the foremost conservative revolutionary movement in Western Europe the next few decades. This in relation to developing a new type of European nationalism referred to as Crusader Nationalism. This new political denomination of nationalism will become the foremost counterweight to National Socialism and other cultural conservative political denominations, on the cultural right wing. Everyone is using code names; mine is Sigurd (the Crusader) while my assigned mentor is referred to as Richard (the Lionhearted). I believe Im the youngest one here.”

Is the Oslo Gunman Really Right-Wing?

Posted on July 23, 2011 at 1:25pm by Jonathon M. Seidl

It’s also important to note that the terms of American politics are not easily transferable to European politics. Often, the extremes in Europe are communists on the left and fascists on the right. In America, “extreme right wing” has been hijacked to label conservatives who adhere strictly to the Constitution, or who fight for legal immigration. (Some on the American left have even succeeded in making “extreme right wing” synonymous with the Tea Party.) In Europe, however, the term could mean zealous nationalists and militant fascists.

So, an “extreme right wing” individual in Europe is not always an “extreme right wing” individual in America. That’s important to note, as the designation will undoubtedly make the rounds in the attack’s aftermath.

Considering what we know about Breivik, then, could it be that the term “extreme right wing” is a misnomer? Especially considering that when you start dealing with extremist groups and individuals who fall well beyond the fringe, their beliefs often blur — they handpick a tenant from the right and bastardize it, grab an ideology from the left and skew it, and then create their own belief system.

Breivik’s beliefs — and the actions he implemented — may show he and his ideology are as fuzzy as they come.

I read parts of the killer’s “manifesto,” which revealed him to be a Ted Kazcynski/Charles Manson type: crazy as a loon. Like them, he thought he was going to strike fear into the hearts of people who just didn’t realize the problem that he alone had been smart enough to identify and which he alone could solve, mostly by unleashing huge amounts of bloodshed. He thought he was a special person and that some people, but not everybody, recognized this and they would eventually all recognize it. Like Kazcynski, he was hyper-intelligent (I guess Manson was also pretty smart) but was completely living in his own head in this delirious fantasy involving Freemasons and Templars and the army he was going to lead.

Apparently, women didn’t seem to recognize his genius or charm, because he set aside 2000 euros to pay for a really high-class hooker the night before the day he picked to commit his attacks.

It’s not surprising it reads like Ted Kazcynski: besides being a murderer, it seems Breivik is a plagiarist. Someone has matched swaths of his manifest with the Unabomber’s manifesto word for word, but with the global substitution of “cultural Marxist” for “leftist”.

I’m not overly suprised that there could be more. His manifesto went out of the way too much to say it was only him. It didn’t seem that genuine.
