Foreign Policy blog and Pharyngula have both worked to dissect a 1,500 page manifesto confirmed to have been written by Anders Behring Breivik, suspect in the July 22, Oslo shootings. He believes he is a Justiciar Knight Commander in the reformed Knights Templar a Christian military order.
The manifesto, bylined by someone calling himself Andrew Berwick, is entitled “2083: A European Declaration of Independence” and was posted on Stormfront.org, a white supremacist website, and discovered by American blogger Kevin I. Slaughter. [UPDATE: Norwegian TV has confirmed that the author is indeed the Oslo shooter, according to the New York Times.]
In it, “Berwick” declares himself a “Justiciar Knight Commander,” a leading member of a “re-founded” Knights Templar group formed at an April 2002 meeting in London. He claims the founding group has 9 members, whom he does not name, and that three other sympathizers were not able to attend the original meeting.
“Our purpose,” the document reads, is to “seize political and military control of Western European countries and implement a cultural conservative political agenda.”
In grim, apocalyptic language, it advocates attacks on “traitors” across Europe who are supposedly enabling a Muslim takeover of the continent.
“[W]e should… not exceed (per 2010) aprox. 45 000 dead and 1 million wounded cultural Marxists/multiculturalists in Western Europe,” the author writes. “The time for dialogue is over. We gave peace a chance. The time for armed resistance has come.”
Pharyngula points out that Breivik had some serious issues with women and feminism. Basically, he recommends keeping women less educated and fertile. The teens murdered were the offspring of liberals and therefore had to be stopped from continuing the line.
1. Limit the distribution of birth-control pills (contraceptive pills): Discourage the use of and prevent liberal distribution of contraceptive pills or equivalent prevention methods. The goal should be to make it considerably more difficult to obtain. This alone should increase the fertility rate by 0,1 points but would degrade women’s rights.
2. Reform sex education: Reform the current sex education in our school institutions. This may involve limiting it or at least delaying sex education to a later age and discourage casual sex. Sex should only be encouraged within the boundaries of marriage. This alone should increase the fertility rate by 0,1 points.
3. Making abortion illegal: A re-introduction of the ban on abortion should result in an increased fertility rate of approximately 0,1-0,2 points but would strip women of basic rights.
4. Women and education: Discourage women in general to strive for full time careers. This will involve certain sexist and discriminating policies but should increase the fertility rate by up to 0,1-0,2 points.
Women should not be encouraged by society/media to take anything above a bachelor’s degree but should not be prevented from taking a master or PhD. Males on the other hand should obviously continue to be encouraged to take higher education – bachelor, master and PhD.
It is chilling reading into the mind of a right-wing Christian fundamentalist
This video is reported to have been uploaded by Breivik shortly before he began his rampage – this version was uploaded by another person lest it be deleted and it is now age restricted.
Oh just shut up Magix, I can see that smug smile on your face everytime I slap myself !!!
Won’t happen again.
The nation is getting ready for another lurch, just watch and see. It’s painful, and I don’t look forward to it, but it’s a commin’ none the less.
the two parties have become indistinguishable and Obama has revealed himself as a corporatist.. So glad I never voted for him
Amazing how people are, I have relatives that watch nothing but Faux news, they have taken up the repub banner of cutting everything, except wars, oil company handouts, and their own ssi check and medicare. To hell with everyone else is their motto. These people vote against their own best interest, and complain about all the people getting welfare. go figure.
Maybe it doesn’t matter how they vote anymore, their probably gonna get the same results no matter what party they cling too.
What do you want to bet that most of the Tea Party patriots in this video are benefiting from some form of entitlement, like medicare of ssi? If Obama caves in to the GOP and cuts entitlements (which, by the way are self funded and add nothing to the national debt), Coos County will suffer greatly because 75% of income here is from entitlements.
I am disappointed in Obama too, but not for the same reasons they are
It appears that if your against corporate greed, for fairly taxing the rich, and helping the elderly with medicare and SSI, you must be a commie pinko socialist. Where do I sign up.
Isn’t it just so true, the sign being carried by the biggest poo bah in the crowd, that red-headed Patriot on the right? He knows not just HOW true his sign really is. Nothing worse than an ignorant armed white man. Just my opinion of course, but I do believe current history is backing my claim up.
Sorry, I said Eugene in my last post, meant of course Roseburg.
Welcome Robert. Let me go out on a limb here, and assume you have seen the video posted here of the old Grey-haired , mostly old women, peace niks having a picnic in the park in Eugene earlier this week.
Are you calling those old ladies socialist Marxist Commies too? Do they frighten you Robert? Do you need to carry a Pecker Extender when venturing outside the door of your hovel just in case some dottering old woman speaks of peace and justice in your presence? Poor thang.
Is that what they were doing when they ran a bunch of grannies out of a park in Roseburg? Opposing socialism or defending democracy? Which was it
Well, magix, someone has to oppose the national socialist (read: Nazi) policies of the current administration.
Aye, Salhadin, methinks they are out there already. In the US they call them the Tea Party Patriots
Geez, some video. Are we going to have ‘Knights Templar’ Nutters popping out of the woodwork all over the place now ?-
