NORWAY ATTACKS/RESULT OF EXTREME RIGHT POPULISM
by Astrid Essed Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2011 at 1:06 AM
Contrary to the mainstream media, the Norway terror attacks are not the action of a ”lone wolf”, but stem from the climate of hatred, which is incited by the extreme right leaders in Europe
NORWAY ATTACKS/RESULT OF EXTREME RIGHT POPULISM IN EUROPE
INTRODUCTION:
Dear Editor and readers
Hereby I present to you my article about the Norway massacre
It is dedicated to them, who were killed, defending basic human rights, that all men are created free and equal and have the same rights
It urges us to continue their struggle
I quote Olav Magnus Linge [Norway’s Socialist Youth]
“For all dead comrades, not a minute’s silence, but a life of struggle.”
May they rest in peace
Kind greetings

NORWAY TERROR ATTACKS/RESULT OF EXTREME RIGHT POPULISM IN EUROPE
”These atrocities have come as a shock to the entire world and the international community is appalled by the flagrant disregard for human life shown by the perpetrator of these crimes”

“For all dead comrades, not a minute’s silence, but a life of struggle.”
—Olav Magnus Linge, Norway’s Socialist Youth
WHAT HAPPENED:
At friday the 22th of july a shock went through the world by two terror attacks in Norway
A bombing attack on Oslo’s central government district and a shooting attack on the youth camp of the Norway Labour Party at the island of Utoya
In totally 77 people were killed, mostly young ones at the youth camp between 14 and 25 years [1]
BREIVIK
The Utoya shooter and suspect [2] of the bombing attack were on and the same person, the extreme right wing ”christian” fundamentalist [3] Anders Breivik, who had the guts to state after his arrest, that his deed was ”gruesome, but necessary” [4]
This act of horror was meant a ”statement” against multicultural society and the presence of muslims in Norway
The Norwegian Labour Party was the target because of her ”tolerance” against migrants and minorities [5]
According to the police he acted on his own
Further investigation will show, whether he had possible collaboratprs or if there are more ”cells” of a broader organisation, as Breivik claims [6]
However:
Contrary with the mainstream media, these terror attacks don;t come ”out of the blue” and are not merely the work of a ”disturbed loner” [7]
THE BREIVIK KILLINGS STEMS FROM THE YEARLONG GROWING RACISM IN EUROPE, WHICH HAS BEEN TOLERATED AND ARTIFICIALLY CULTIVATED [8]
Yearlong hatred sowing against muslims, migrants and refugees
BREIVIK’S MANIFESTO
”EUROPEAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE”
‘
Breivik’s views and ideology:
Breivik’s views in his ”European Declaration of Independence, partly copied from the Unabomber [9]:are extreme agressive, demonstrate obsessed hatred for Islam, muslims, migrants and all political leftist.ideologies, parties and people.
See four main points of his hatred sowing Manifest:
1) Mass immigration and the Islam are the main treaths for the Western society
2) Like communism and fascism, the Islam is a toralitarian ideology, which has caused millions of victims
3) The gate of this Islam ”treath” has been opened by the multicultural ideology of the ruling class
4) Head responsibles of the spreading of the ”Islam treath” are the ”cultural marxists”, which are represented mainly by the Social Democrat parties [10]
Obsessed with violence:
The terror attacks show it:
Breivik chooses the way of extreme violence
However, his Manifesto proves it loudly and clearly [11]
In his eyes, Western countries are ”at war” with the Islam, ”armed resistance” or ”self defence” is necessary and actually only a military coup should be the solution.
Besides agressive racism and scapegoat theories, committing a military coup is an important extreme right view
Another ”legitimated” merhod Breivik defended in his Manifesto is the committing of terror attacks, which he himself committed [12]
Apart from nonsense about the wars of European kingdoms with the Turkish Ottoman Empire, Breuvik states, that he and eight others allegedly founded a new Order of Templars, referring on the bloody Western Crisades in Palestine during the Middle Ages
In the tradition of extreme right ideology he calls himself a ”Crusader” [13]
Of course he wanted a broad forwarding of his hatred ”Manifesto”
He himself spread it in extreme right circles in Europe
Adnmirations and sympathies:
In his Manifesto he called as ”great examples” the Dutch former anti immigration leader P Fortuyn, anti Islam filmmaker T van Gogh, anti-Islam politician Hirsi Ali, who should win the Nobelprize fir Peace [according to Breivik]
And extreme right leader of the PVV, Wilders [14]
From all anti Islam figures in the Netherlands he calls Wilders the most
Other sources of admiration are the British extreme right EDL organisation and the group ”Stop Islamisation of Europe” [SOE] [15]
He allegedly had contact with the EDL, when he came to Great Britain because of the visit of Wilders [16]
BREIVIK AND THE EXTREME RIGHT POPULIST MOVEMENTS IN EUROPE
The Manifesto is extreme right and anti Islam, as are the individuals Breivik contacted and the persons and organisations he admires.
THEREFORE IT IS NONSENSE TO ASSUME THAT THE ATTACKS ARE AN ”ISOLATED ACT!”
Not only the Breivik views are a copy of the extreme right views, his acts are deeply influenced by the post 11 september rise of the demonic racist climate in Europe
THE ADVANCEMENT OF XENOPHPOBIA IN EUROPE
Faster than an infectious disease, political and social racism has spread over Europe, which is uttered in hatred against Islam and muslims, ”non-western” inhabitants and refugees
Mostly it is accompanied by a hatred against ”liberal” or ”socialist” parties, politicians and organisations
Squatters are also among the scapegoats
Politically populist and racist parties have obtained great electoral victories in several European countries like the Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, etc
At society level racism shows itself in discussions, which launch an agressive attack on the cultural identity of national minorities
As well at political as social level it is a common view, that the ”multicultural society has failed” [17]
For this clear political attack on the rights of national minorities, the Dutch racist leader Janmaat was convicted in the nineties [18]
This shows, how the political climate has turned to racism
Other examples are the tightened integration demands and the headscarf and Burqa hysteria [19]
In France and Belgiium there is a ban on wearing Burqa’s in public, on which Human Rights Watch and Amnesty have uttered fundamental criticism [20]
So far the populists go
But the story of racisn goes on:
In Switzerland there is a prohibition of building minattes on mosques and non Swiss inhabitants are automatically deported when committing a crime, even when they are legally in Switzerland [21]
In France Roma mass deportations of Roma took place, despite the EU and international prohibition on discrimination [22]
Extreme right parties in government:
In some European countries like Denmark and the Netherland, an extreme right party supports a government, without actually being a part of the government [23]
And still worse: In Italy, the extreme right Lega Nord is full part of the Italian government [24]
However the most dangerous is not the phenomenon of racist populist parties, but the ”regular” parties adopting points of view from the populists, in order to gain electoral victory.
Recently European Commissioner for Home Affairs Cecilia Malstrom stated in her weblog, that too few European leaders make a stand against the dangerous xenofobic rhetoric of the far right parties, thus creating a climate for the Breiviks of this world [25]
She is one of the few European politicians to make such a firm stand
Extreme right violence has spread through whole Europe, especially since the 11 september attacks, but also before
In the Netherlands post 11 september violence showed itself in a wave of verbal and fysical attacks on muslims and arson attacks on Mosques, directly after the 11 september attacks and the murder of anti Islam filmmaker T van Gogh in 2004 [26]
Nowadays, attacks on Mosques show themselves nearly each month
Sometimes there is directly referred to extreme right PVV leader Wilders [27]
Except for the Netherlands, as in the USA as in Europe, attacks on Mosques are regular [28]
EXTREME RIGHT IN NORWAY
Before the fatal Norway attacks, there already was a lot of extreme right violence in Norway, especially in the ninetees
Verbal and fysical attacks, treaths, street violence, arson and killings all took place
In 2001, a black teenager was shot by neo nazi’s [29]
In 2009 the extreme right Norwegian Progress Party got 23 percent in parliamentary election
Only the Labour Party is bigger [30]
DUTCH RACIST POPULISM
The advancement of Dutch racism has penetrated all parts of society
Opinion leaders as the mainstream politicians openly state, that ”multiculturism has failed [31]
For that statement, extreme right leader Janmaat has been convicted in the ninetees [32]
At governmental level, the racist PVV of Wilders supports the government, without actually ruling.
The State politics are racist because of this PVV influence
The socalled ”left” parties don’t really fight the PVV racism and are afraid to take a firm stand
Society discussions are poisened by racism, like the politics
But also the Court has been affected, since Wilders is acquitted from incitement to hatred and discrimination
According to the Court, discriminatory statements are allowed, as long as they fit in society discussion [33]
WILDERS AND BREIVIK
SAME VIEWS
SAME MESSAGE OF EVIL
IT’S NO IMPORTANCE, THAT WILDERS TAKES A DISTANCE OF BREIVIK [34], THEY ARE BOTH OBSESSED BY THE SAME
VIEWS
THE SAME MESSAGE OF EVIL
Just like Wilders Breivik is obsessed by hatred about the Islam, muslim and migrants
They both are repulsed by the multicultural society
Breivik as well as Wilders incite a war hysteria against the Islam and muslims
Both they are violent adversaries from the left parties and ideology [35]
Wilders and Breivik share the four main points of Breiviks ”European Declaration of Independence”
It is no coincidence whatsoever, that Wilders has also used the term ‘Declaration of Independence”
The Breivik/Wilders message is the same
The same extreme right thoughts
The same disregard for humanity
THE SAME WORDS FROM HELL
BREIVIK TRIAL
CALL FOR DEATH PENALTY
Since the Norway attacks, among many people there is a call for the death penalty, perhaps since the maximum punishment for Breivik, when found guilty, is 21 years [36]
Maybe this is uttered in the moment of the emotion
However I consider the death penalty as a cruel and inhumane punishment, which should be abolished worldwide
Besides there is always the risk, that an innocent person is executed [37]
Anyway:
Everybody has the right on life, regardless the committed crime
That includes Breivik.
EPILOGUE:
Breivik killings don’t come ”out of the blue”
The desastrous populism in Europe and especially the hatespeech populistic parties and their leaders have created a climate, which brought Breivik to his massacre [38]
They can denounce Breivik, their co responsibility still exist
Hatespeech against ”the others” in society is dangerous
Words can be lethal without firing the gun
THEREFORE ALL POPULIST PARTIES AND ORGANISATIONS, SO ALSO WILDERS AND HIS PVV ARE AS WELL POLITICALLY AS MORALLY CO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NORWAY MASSACRE!
It is high time, that not only European leaders stand up against populism
Parliamentary left must shake off its cowardice and again take the leading role to fight against racism
To prevent new massacres
LIBERTE, EQUALITE, FRATERNITE!

In contrary with the mainstream media I call Breivik ”suspect”

I said ”christian” [between lines] and not simple christian to emphasize, that the Utoya massacre is fundamentally CONTRARY WITH REAL CHRISTIAN BELIEF OF PEACE, HUMANITY AND SOLIDARITY

”Mr Breivik said before the court hearing he would explain his actions to the court. Earlier, he described the attacks as “gruesome but necessary”.

BREIVIK, ADMIRER OF WILDERS
”Wilders, leader of the Dutch Freedom party, who has been tried and acquitted on hate speech charges for his calculated provocations, is a favourite of Breivik, notching up 30 references in the manifesto. Wilders said he was appalled by Breivik, fearing that such actions could damage his campaign. “This is a slap in the face for the worldwide anti-Islam movement,” he said.”
