SCANPIX, via Associated Press Deadly explosions shattered windows on Friday at the government headquarters in Oslo, which includes the prime minister’s office. A spokeswoman for Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said he was safe. More Photos » The police said they did not know if the man, identified in the Norwegian press as Anders Behring Breivik, was part of a larger conspiracy. He is being questioned under the country’s terrorism laws and is cooperating with the investigation, they said.

“We are not sure whether he was alone or had help,” a police official, Roger Andresen, said at a televised press conference, adding: “What we know is that he is right-wing and a Christian fundamentalist.” So far Mr. Breivik has not been linked to any anti-jihadist groups, he said.

WHO TAUGHT THIS MAN HOW TO MAKE THE BOMB???
///
absolutely. he wasn’t a Christian.
and that ENGLISH ONLY FB page (not a word in Norwegian? i have many foreign friends. their pages always have a mixture of languages...),
a facebook page that neatly claimed he was a conservative christian, was made only a few days ago, when certainly the bomb and attacks were already planned.

and as little jeremiah and others have pointed out, he couldn’t have invented how to make bombs without help, acquired everything, etc., alone.
(remember the failed NY Times Square bomb, and the many failed practice bombs of McVey and Nichols? this guy had help. and i’m betting it was Muslims.
just like in Oklahoma, were security film of the actual van parking has been “lost” (reported here recently on FR).
and Nichols made many trips to the Phillipines, and DID meet with Muslim terrorists.)

***If he has anti muslim views why isn’t he killing muslims? Doesn’t make sense. I also read the facebook page was set up a few days ago.***

Because he can sow far more hatred against the Christian right-wingers by pretending to be one and killing innocent people.

From what I have read Jihad Watch has stated that “Fjordman” is his screen name.

A few things being reported often this morning on Sky News are that the shooter owned a farm and had purchased six tons of fertilizer in May. He had a permit or license as a farmer which allowed him to make that purchase.

Some still think he couldn’t have committed both acts, but that evidence suggest he probably did, whether alone or with some help. I’m thinking he acted alone at this point.

Who took that picture??? It must have been from a helicopter? Why didn’t they stop him?

All this just does not fit. I read that the kids were assembled to be “addressed” by the “policeman”. The pictures of the van and two huddled groups and this one of them at the edge of the water don’t seem to fit. The account the young girl gave mentions the buildings..... It appears there were no adults, no one in charge of these kids.

Over at Pajamas Media, it was pointed out that Norway has very few cops on a per capita basis. It was less than half of what Sweden has for example. So the bombs in Oslo would have made for a very effective diversion of official attention while he commences his shooting spree elsewhere. Norway is a country that’s still not even begun to come to grips with increasing criminal violence among Islamic immigrants let alone how to deal with and respond to actual large scale attacks like this one.

The use of a cop uniform was diabolically effective. The following quote from an AP article today nails it —

“Elise said she had just come out from an information meeting in a nearby building when she heard gunshots. She saw a police officer and thought she was safe, but then he started shooting.”

Heresy! You will be permanently zotted unless you admit he was a Muslim on secret orders from the Justice Department to lead a false flag operation so that Sara Brady’s dream might finally be realized/sarc

And news reports continually refer to “a farm he owned”, but they are not saying he was a farmer, and I haven’t yet heard any particular occupation attributed to him.

Bingo!

President Kennedy famously said: "Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable."

And Glenn Beck has been warning about this for a long time.

The Democrats in this country actually have a tender faith in the law-abiding nature of the American People, while they are undermining the rule of law, destroying the impact of elections and inciting hatred and violence at every turn. Somehow, the socialists believe that only they will benefit from threats and violence in society. They are incapable of thinking about more than the immediate action. They cannot think about the reaction and what will happen, if others take up their methods.

Breaking News? I am not sure.

I am a little troubled about the extent of information already available on him. My smell test alarm is going off.

His actions do not pass the test of what he has written.

This will take some time to unravel.

Even though the police had his manifesto showing he was a left wing environmentalist nutjob, they still reported him as a right winger.

IIRC they didn't have Fox back then. Say what you will but they know that their primary customers are right of center so I'm sure they would have gotten that out.

I believe the claim that he’s Fjordman has been debunked on other threads.

Anyway, Here’s a compilation of (a lot) of his posts on Document.No, which as best I can tell, is basically the FR of Norway.

Chanting verses from the koran can and does induce a trancelike state, especially if you are listening to an experienced, well trained imam. The way they use pitch and tone and rhythm is hypnotic.

a bit off topic, but you’re right. and MANY things in Islam fit standard brainwashing practices.
the many rituals. praying 5 times a day. ablution. praying before almost any action. even things like entering the bathroom only on the left foot, and leaving on the right.
it makes it a constant overwhelming presence.

To: Strategerist

Actually if you read down in Breivik’s posts he refers to Fjordman as a different person, so he’s definitely not Fjordman (but he praises him):

Do not know quite where to take it up but our own Fjordman is about to be cut to 3 position among the most recognized / influential European intellectuals anti-Jihad/anti-multikulti/anti-Marxist / bloggers.

After Gates of Vienna (No. 1) and New English Review (2). Ovverraskende NOK Fjordman is actually possible to turn himself Brussels Journal!

“In other words. Those who have not yet read Fjord Man’s book, “Defeating Eurabia” has not been followed by an hour. I know it’s hard to be prophet in his own country but this is beyond all expectations. Congratulations Fjordman:)

See the list here: http://infidelbloggerawards.blogspot.com/";

Of course one real point to be made is that no one on the island must have had a gun to stop him. This case is an argument for legal possession, not gun control.

Spiegel.de reports the response time was 30 minutes. That’s still 30 minutes too late.

To me, the lesson of that island massacre is EDC, every day carry. Not just for defense, but also first aid.

We have to be our first responders.

It appears the perp was a blogger for Jihad Watch and Gates of Vienna who went by the pseudonym of “Fjordman”.

If you search FR for “Fjordman” there are quite a few hits.
///
respectfully Sir, that is ABSOLUTELY untrue!!!
that is a rumor started by the very evil Charles Johnson from LGF.

Fjordman is not Anders Breivik.
Fjordman has been writing and warning about the growing Muslim danger in Scandanavia for MANY years.
THIS is Fjordman:

Fjordman: Why Islam Must Be Expelled From The West
Europe News ^ | 12/23/2010 | Fjordman
“Islam is more totalitarian than the most totalitarian ideologies that have ever existed in the Western world.”

Rape: Nothing to do with Islam?
