Breivik: Likes and Dislikes, Part Two

Giuseppe Maria Crespi, ‘Bookshelf with Music Writings’, 1725-30 (detail)

A few days ago we posted an analysis of people referenced by Anders Behring Breivik in his 1,500-page manifesto. The remainder of the references cited fall into the following categories:

Armament 21
Book/article 43
Chemical supplier 9
Computer system 2
Corporation 12
Data source 1
Dear possession 2
Equipment 15
Equipment supplier 7
Historical/current event 4
Institution/agency 15
Media 13
Military 4
Movie 10
Movie producer 1
Music 8
Organization 11
Political party 5
Product 3
Retailer 4
TV show 10
Underground organization 5
Vehicle 6
Video game 8
Website 35
General 7

As you can see, references to armaments, chemical suppliers, equipment, equipment suppliers, and military-related entities comprise 56 out of 261 entries, more than 20% of the total. Add the violent video games, movies, websites, etc., and Mr. Breivik’s preoccupation with dealing out violent death looms even larger.

Such influences are thus far more significant in the killer’s manifesto than the writings of Fjordman. By the logic employed by Geir Lippestad (Mr. Breivik’s attorney) and the Norwegian news media, these weapons manufacturers, filmmakers, and chemical suppliers must bear their share of responsibility for the massacre on Utøya.

Why doesn’t Mr. Lippestad call for the CEOs of these companies to appear in court and testify on behalf of his client?

Once again, the answer seems obvious: they’re mostly not in Norway. Norwegian scapegoats are urgently needed to take the fall for the actions of Anders Behring Breivik. That’s why Fjordman and Hans Rustad are taking most of the heat: they’re conveniently Norwegian, and also hold unacceptable political opinions. Therefore they must answer for Mr. Breivik’s crimes.

Unlike the killer, they were not preoccupied with violence and did not advocate violence. Except for immigration and Islamization, their positions had almost nothing in common with those of the murderer. They were not concerned with the topics that interested Anders Behring Breivik the most.

However, it was those two areas of overlap — immigration and Islamization — that made them targets for the Norwegian establishment. That’s why they are being summoned to answer the Grand Inquisitor in Oslo.

Like the list of people in Part One, the data below were collated and summarized based on the detailed analysis provided by the Transatlantic Statistical Underground. The assignment of categories in the raw data was incomplete, and needed to be normalized in order to create this table. I had to make some educated guesses, so some of the entries may not be in the most appropriate category:

It's important to state time and again that some blogger writing descriptive essays based on information that is already in the public domain will in no way lead any sane and rational person to act as AB did.

And no sane and rational person will hold a blogger writing descriptive essays based on information that is already in the public domain responsible for AB acting as he did.

It would be more rational to blame the makers of the TV programme "Dexter" which glorifies a serial killer who chooses his victims because they "deserve" to die, and because the world will be a better place without them.

I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience...

... Martin Luther said that in context of Faith.0

... we are now saying it in context of basic rational thought.

The "Grand Inquisitor" is seeking a certain set of answers, and if those answers are not provided (as in just don't say anything to give them any reason to hang you) that is about all one can do with faced by a witch hunt.

In this case the judgement has already been rendered, they're just trying to figure out how severely to punish based on whatever additional justification you may give them at the last minute without causing said victim to become a martyr-symbol against the judge.

This is such ugly business. I can't offer much more than prayers for strenth for Fjordman and Rustad. And pray for repentance on behalf of Breivik.

In my admittedly limited legal experience, it seems that an effective tactic, should the worst come to the worst and Fjordman actually be charged with anything (as opposed to attacked indirectly in the media) is to present the jury with an alternative "perpetrator" - one that is far more likely to be "guilty" than the accused.

So: I suggest that Fjorman do the necessary research NOW and read all of Jeff Lindsay's books.

Here's the first one.

Then watch the TV series - apparently AB enjoyed it. One can't help wondering now in what way AB enjoyed it? Could it possibly have had an effect on him?

Read the books & see what you think.

i do not accept that ABB was acting for the right wing.
i believe that he thought he was but in reality was acting, unknowingly, for the left.
i fail to see how any one, ABB included, could expect the right to benefit from his actions and i don't believe they were intended to.
Fjordman and Hans Rustad are being subject to a continuation of that attack so as to discredit them and the greater counter-jihad movement.
ABB's survival was key to this, dead he would be silenced, they needed him to pile on the pressure.

marking him down as mad means that he will live out his days in relative comfort and may even see freedom again one day.

"...[he] may even see freedom again one day."

Yes. Some day, well-wishers will make the case that ABB is fully rehabilitated - just like would-be presidential assassin John Hinkley with his apologists who are upset that his freedoms are curtailed by the mental ward.
