Geir Lippestad, the defense lawyer for Anders Behring Breivik, intends to haul Fjordman and Hans Rustad (the editor of Document.no) into court to testify on his client’s behalf. According to Mr. Lippestad, the two “right-wing extremists” influenced Mr. Breivik with their writings and websites, and are therefore partially responsible for the killer’s actions on July 22.
To most people outside of Scandinavia these assertions are the height of absurdity. But Norwegians take such matters very seriously. Breivik liked to read Fjordman, and he liked to hang out and comment at Document.no, so those two “influences” are complicit. Q.E.D., Norwegian-style.
But what about the other influences on Anders Behring Breivik? His 1,500-page manifesto contains plenty of references to other people, movies, books, sites, weapons, etc. What else did he like? What did he dislike?
Thanks to the tireless efforts of a group known as the Transatlantic Statistical Underground, the sources cited by Mr. Breivik in his manifesto have been collected in exhaustive detail and compiled into a spreadsheet with more than 900 entries. I’ve imported their data into a database and normalized it so that the results could be summarized for further analysis.
Below is the first of two tables derived from the Breivik data. This list shows the people (both living and dead) referenced by the killer, and how he regarded them — like, dislike, or neutral, or some combination of all three if he cited them more than once. The second table will be more difficult to compile, since it contains all his other citations — books, video games, movies, music, organizations, products, weapons, etc.
We don’t have a TV, so I probably included some entries that are titles of TV shows rather than names of actual people. But by and large this is a list of people, some of them grouped together as joint authors of books.
The number listed for each name or group does not refer to how often the source was mentioned, but to the number of individual citations in a section, paragraph, or group of sentences.
Fjordman, of course, gets top billing, with twenty-one citations. But Hans Rustad, who is almost as vilified as Fjordman in Norway nowadays, is only cited once.
In contrast, Robert Spencer is cited (and liked) four times by Mr. Breivik. Daniel Pipes gets three approvals. So why didn’t Mr. Lippestad subpoena the two American “Islamophobes” as well?
The answer is obvious: these other people are not Norwegian. Serving a subpoena on foreigners is not a particularly productive tactic. The defense is grabbing for the low-hanging fruit instead. Anders Behring Breivik didn’t cite very many Norwegians with approval, so Fjordman and Hans Rustad will have to bear the brunt of the scapegoating.
The list below contains 459 entries (some containing more than one person). It’s in tabular format, so that readers may easily copy and import it into other applications for further analysis:

He quoted Margaret Atwood, the authour of "The Handmaid's Tale" too. Something she seems pretty horrified about.
One could ask if they intend on issuing a request for her radicalizing influence to be tried in court.
If you know anything about Atwood, the mental image of her being hauled in to stand with Fjordman for radicalizing someone is fantastic.
Charlie Sheen - Like: 1
I searched the manifesto, and it is merely Breivik describing a scene from the movie Platoon. Hardly indicating of a favorable attitude towards Charlie Sheen. This is the first thing I searched for, so it doesn't instill me with much confidence about the accuracy of the rest.
As for blaming Fjordman for having "influenced" the actions of Breivik, I have pointed out previously that Breivik's compendium indicates that he was already planning on carrying out his attack before he had even heard of Fjordman.
B.B.
I'm afraid, like you probably already suspect, that Fjordman is being setup for prison time in proxy of Breivik, whom will be going to a mental instruction forever, and the powers that be are setting Fjordman up to take the blame.
Is there anyway he can tell them that he refuses to testify.
I can understand why the Fjordman would like to have his say, but I can easily see how his testimony would be twisted and then used against him, with the end result of him being assigned blame for the actions of a madman. I do not see anywhere in Europe as necessarily "free". Maybe I am wrong, but I think there is something else is afoot here.
If I ever get charged with drunk driving, I am going to get the CEO of Budweiser to testify on my behalf.
With all due respect, looking at the reading list and analyzing the writings of a sociopathic, paranoid schizophrenic is not my idea of productive. I came to admire Norway tremendously when I read the biography of Roald Amundsen. I have tremendous respect for the Norwegians I deal with for business reasons. It seems like creatures from another planet who would make such an absurd connection.
It is also self-contradictory. The Norwegian so-called authorities are denying a mass-murderer has personal responsibility, but a non-violent writer has complete control over not only his own actions, but over the actions of others. It's more than absurd.
Sitting Bull! I always knew there was something "intolerant" about him. After all he never did embrace multiculturalism now, did he?
To dislike Nelson Mandela is indicative of Breivik's lost sense of reality.
Islamism is contrary to Nelson Mandela's philosophy, a philosophy closer to secular humanism than anything else.
In 30 years of warfare the ANC caused fewer civilian deaths than a month's worth of Taliban caused deaths.
That is a noble liberation movement, unlike the terrorist warfare unleashed by Islamists.
Mandela and Gandhi jointly liberated more than a billion people with almost no militancy.
In contrast, Palestinians have learnt nothing from the example set by these Giants of Humanity.
All they might achieve is blood and gore forever, primal darkness in comparison to the shining lights of Gandhi and Mandela.
Breivik simply smacks of stupid racism.
If it were not that he is insane, we should consider him a fool, the Ogre of Oslo.
But he is insane.
Racism, along with the stupid squabbling between US, Russia & China, all plays into the hands of Islamists.
Rather the four million Christian Pakistanis, eight million Copts and the scores of millions of Black Christians suffering at the hands of Islamists in Africa evacuated to Europe than a single White Islamist being allowed for some impossibly stupid PC motive to live and breathe in Europe!
Instead of Fjordman, he should subpoena the editors of the mainstream Norwegian press and those responsible for the content of the broadcast media. Breivik stated quite clearly in his manifesto that he decided on violent action in order to penetrate the wall of silence which has been built by the media and political establishment around any criticism of Islam.
What does that have to do with Fjordman, who is about the only Norwegian who is talking openly and honestly about Islam?
Let's think about what happens in a normal case of a member of a "resistance" movement getting caught, following an attack. What does he do? Does he "grass" on all his friends and shift on them the blame? Or does he keep his lips sealed, sacrificing himself in order to protect his co-conspirators?
For someone so convinced of the importance of his "resistance movement", Breivik sure is very quick to blame Fjordman, supposedly one of his main sources of inspiration...
Looking at this long, unconnected list of people I ask again, is either the defence or the prosecution going to subject the parts of his manifesto that are claimed to have been written by ABB to a forensic linguistic analysis?
Justice demands at least that much effort to understand whether or not he was working on his own or had help from native English speakers.

@ Anon who defines countries defending what they perceive to be their interests as “stupid squabbling”: I hate to break it to you, but Nelson Mandela is Che, complete with T-shirts, but no beret.
Look at the evidence you won’t see in the MSM:
We Have Pledged to Kill the Them- The Bhulu
Bhulu are white people. Nice tune, though.
Oh,well. Another Marxist icon, like Che, bites the dust while people who can’t speak the language are gulled by the MSM into admiration…
Here’s a website that discusses the ongoing and open genocide of white farmers in South Africa. Many of them are leaving for places like Georgia, which needs their farming skills.
The uneducated blacks who simply take their farms without recompense (no need to pay anyone if they’re all dead) cannot farm beyond a subsistence level.
Genocide on Whites in South Africa
60% of those killed is S.A. are white. Whites make up 10% of the population. The killings are brutal.
Yes, one can be black and a racist, despite what our PC/MC kumbiyah singers would have you believe.

Meanwhile, back in Norway, the govt is fortunate that the majority of westerners don’t understand Norwegian. If we did the nicety-nice facade would crumble in no time. I learned that one first hand, just Google translating emails from Norway written by the deluded who believe what they read in the newspapers.
A three-legged stool — the press/academia/socialist government has carefully arranged the crucifixion of a gentle scholar. The Soviet dream isn’t dead: it is alive and well in Norway.
If they manage to grab Fjordman it will be a show trial from the Soviet era.
Hard to believe such thinking still exists.
Norway=USSR.2
That is, the change is this: from suppression into coercion. Smiling ignorance in exchange for subsidies. The poor Russians never lived this well.
So, he didn't mention Qaradawi, did he?
"In order to desensitize and brutalize a population to the point where they consent to public stoning of adulterous women, floggings and beheadings, you gotta apply ‘gradualism’, the “laws of nature that Allah Almighty has created”, explains Yusuf al Qaradawi, chief lunatic of the Muslim Brotherhood."

And by the way, what is Aftenposten's idea of this drawing of a female priest, and a muslim dressed the same way as Qaradawi with a white and red hat? Did they withdraw it? Cannot find it now.
