Something is rotten in the Kingdom of Norway

When you combine left-wing nihilism with Islamofascist sympathies – you get Ma’alot and Utoya. The Norwegians are well on the road to self destruction with their Labour party, left-wing Lutheran churches, and multicultural fixations. You cannot be an apologist for terrorism directed at one nation (Israel) and not expect that the cancer will not strike you one day.

by Daniel Greenfield

Anders Breivik’s attack on the youth camp of the Norwegian Labour Party has its most obvious precedent in the Maalot Massacre when Palestinian Muslim gunmen attacked an Israeli elementary school, taking over a hundred children hostage, and then using automatic weapons to kill as many of them as they could. But the link between Maalot and Utoya is more than casual. The Workers Youth League which ran the camp had a long history of supporting the same kind of terrorists who had perpetrated the Maalot Massacre.

Lars Gule, is the Secretary General of the Norwegian Humanist Association, and a defender of Muslims having the right to discriminate against women and gays. (The two are not a contradiction in Norway.) He was the leader of the Workers Youth League at the University of Bergen– and a DFLP terrorist.

The DFLP were the perpetrators of the Maalot Massacre. And two years after that attack, Lars Gule was trained by the DFLP and dispatched to Israel via Norway with explosives hidden in the covers of his books.

“The Suspect had made ​​it known to his employers that he wanted to take human life…  to strengthen Palestinian fighting spirit and morale,” Norwegian police records noted.

[...]

How can we make sense of this? Glenn Beck compared the Workers Youth League camp to a Hitler Youth camp. He was close, but not entirely right. The roots of the Workers Youth League are actually Communist.

Norway’s Labour Party was a member of the Communist International. The Workers Youth League was formed by the merger of the Left Communist Youth League and the Socialist Youth League of Norway. We often use “Communist” as a pejorative– but in this case the Utoya camp, literally was a Communist youth camp.

The day before the massacre, Norwegian Foreign Minister Gahre-Store visited the camp and was greeted with banners calling for a boycott of Israel, and Gahre-Store responded with an Anti-Israel speech to cheers from the campers. There is something ominous about such indoctrination of hate. It is not quite on the level of the Hitler Youth, but neither is it a world apart.

In the 1930′s, Germans were encouraged to blame their problems on the Jews. In this decade, Norwegians are encouraged to blame their problems on the Jews. There are few children of workers at the Workers Youth League camp. They are for the most part the children of the party, the sons and daughters of bureaucrats and party leaders, training the next generation to perpetrate the Labour Party state.

Breivik came from that same background. The son of the left wing elite. And if his parents’ marriage had not collapsed, with the young boy allotting a share of the blame to the Labour Party, he would likely have a comfortable spot in the socialist state. Breivik may have turned against his roots, but the idea that terroristic violence is a legitimate solution is one that he could have easily picked up on the left.

Gahre-Store may have been greeted with a banner calling for the boycott of Israel, but he would never have been greeted with one calling for a boycott of terrorists. And indeed if there is an Islamist terrorist group that Gahre-Store doesn’t support, it’s hard to find. Gahre-Store had called for negotiating with Al-Shahaab in Somalia, an Al-Qaeda offshoot, he spoke with Hamas leader Khaled Mashal and called for a reconciliation with the Taliban.

Nor is the Workers Youth League call for the destruction of Israel a recent one. In the 70′s, the movement was already pushing for a One State Solution. The man who led the organization then went on to become the country’s Foreign Minister playing a key role in the Oslo Accords that turned Israel into a free fire zone for the terrorist allies of the League and the Labour Party.

Media commentators have made a great deal of Breivik’s radicalization, but despite his death toll, his radicalization seems to be an isolated event in comparison to the magnitude of radicalization at Utoya. If Breivik’s violence and bigotry is to be condemned– shouldn’t the species of violence and bigotry at Utoya be condemned as well?

The left can hold up Utoya as an example, but there are a legion of counterexamples. Nor the least of which is Lars Gule, traveling with explosives in his backpack, on a journey that took him from DFLP terrorist to Workers Youth League leader.

[...]

But what Norway’s political elite failed to grasp is that the genie of terrorism cannot be kept in a lamp, to emerge only at your command. Once you legitimize terrorism as a tool of political change, you lose the ability to determine who will make use of it. Breivik followed the example of Lars Gule, that of the Marxist terrorists, whose intellectual legacy is the black tar that seeps through the painted walls of Norwegian foreign policy.

The hatred and terrorist collaboration on display at Utoya was the symptom of a larger disease.     “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark,” Marcellus proclaims in Hamlet. It’s equally rotten in Norway.

Breivik was one expression of that rottenness. But there are many others. Like Lars Gule, and his vision of a secular atheism living side by side with bigoted Islamism. Or Gahre-Store following in the footsteps of countless left wing foreign ministers by opening Norway’s doors to every Islamist terrorist group out there. Or the children being groomed to become the future leaders of Norway taught to hate as fervently as their Fatah associates.

    Interesting and appropriate choice of words. The Left do perpetrate government. Gangster government, I believe Michele Bachmann has called it…

    It was wrong what this shooter did, but I have no sympathy for Norway.

    @ Iron Fist:

    I don’t agree with what the shooter did. But he was right that the Norwegian left is allied with Islam and seek to destroy European civilization.


  4. 4 | August 1, 2011 2:23 pm

    Israel’s Leftist naivete in this realm is best covered (in my experience) in Kahane’s (yes, I know…blah blah blah.) “they must go!” wherein he clearly exposes how every Leftist plan to appease the terrorists, and excuse their terrorism has only lead to more terrorism.

    One perfect example of this (quite fittingly for this thread) is the Olso Accords – eviscerated by Mudar Zahran in the Hudson New York – “Is It Time Israel Ends Oslo?.

    Lastly, after performing research on the policies and actions of Norway regarding Israel, the United States, and terrorism, I have to wonder what part Racism, or systemic effects of Anti-Racist indoctrination, have had on the World’s response to Norway. They walk like a Muslim terrorist supporting country, swim like a Muslim terrorist supporting country, and quack like a terrorist supporting country and yet we treat them like a civilized Western country.

    hmmmmmm. Would we be so forgiving of Syria, Yemen, Tunisia, Libya, Iraq, or Afganistan?

    I understand what your saying BUT and it’s those buts that get you into trouble …”But he was right that the Norwegian left is allied with Islam and seek to destroy European civilization.” …That statement and any condemnation of the shooting should not be connected. It’s a losing argument.

    Syria or Yeman, yes. The others less so. We are downright accomodating to Iran, too. We foolishly assign to them the status of “victim” and, further, assign to the designated “victim” a status (“victimhood”) that the Left considers unassailable. Norway’s appeasement of Islam is part and parcel to the direction that the Left would take all the Western world. That it ends in a Totalitarian Caliphate and the West as slaves (“dhimmis”) troubles the Left none in the least. Indeed, they may see that as a feature. The West atoning for colonialism and slavery by being colonized and enslaved.

  36. 36 | August 1, 2011 2:51 pm

    Wow! Ms. Lindsey Graham gets one right! One in a row. Must be some kind of record:

    South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) announced Monday he will oppose a deal to raise the debt limit by between $2.1 trillion and $2.4 trillion, putting pressure on House Republicans.

    Graham’s opposition is significant because it will make it difficult for any of the five Republicans in South Carolina’s House delegation to support the deal.

    “I cannot in good conscience support this deal. Simply stated, it locks us into more debt, bigger government and most devastating of all, a weakened defense infrastructure at a time when we face growing threats,” Graham said in a statement released Monday morning.

    “This agreement adds over $7 trillion in new debt over the next decade and only makes small reductions in future spending. We hardly address the future growth of entitlements, a major contributor of future budgetary problems. Instead of our nation running toward bankruptcy we will be walking toward bankruptcy,” he added.

    That is, in a nutshell, my opposition to the deal. We’ve given up everything for a sound-bite “victory” that will cost us in the end.

    Barack Obama the Pessimist

    Snip

    By that Reagan standard, Mr. Obama has been a singular failure. The crippling truth of the Obama presidency is the pessimism of the man, the low expectations he has for this republic. He had not come forth to awaken this country to its stirring first principles, but to manage its decline at home and abroad. So odd an outcome, a man with an inspiring biography who provides no inspiration, a personal story of “The Audacity of Hope” yielding a leader who deep down believes that America’s best days are behind it.

    Amid the enthusiasm of his ascent to power, the choreography of a brilliant campaign, and a justifiable sense of pride that an African-American had risen to the summit of political power, it had been hard to tease out the pessimism at the core of Mr. Obama’s vision. His economic program—the vaunted stimulus, the bailout of the automobile industry, the determination to overhaul the entire health-care system—gave away a bureaucratic vision: It was rule by emergency decree, as it were. No Reaganesque faith in the society for this leader.

    In the nature of things, Mr. Obama could not take the American people into his confidence; he could not openly take up the thesis of America’s decline. But there was an early signal, in April 2009 in Strasbourg, during a celebration of NATO’s 60th anniversary, when he was confronted with the cherished principle of American “exceptionalism.”

    Asked whether he believed in the school of “American exceptionalism” that sees America as “uniquely qualified to lead the world,” he gave a lawyerly answer: “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.” We were not always going to be right, he added, “all have to compromise and that includes us.”

    Events would supply evidence of Mr. Obama’s break with the history of America’s faith in liberty in distant lands. The herald of change was at heart a man who doubted the ability of political freedom to skip borders, and to bring about the emancipation of peoples subjected to brutal tyrannies. The great upheaval in Iran in the first summer of his presidency exposed the flaws and contradictions of the Obama diplomacy.

    A people had risen against their tyrannical rulers, but Mr. Obama was out to conciliate these rulers. America’s support wouldn’t have altered that cruel balance of force on the ground. But henceforth it would become part of the narrative of liberty that when Iran rose in rebellion, the pre-eminent liberal power sat out a seminal moment in Middle Eastern history.

    In his encounters with the foreign world, Mr. Obama gave voice to a steady and unsettling expression of penance. We had made our own poor bed in distant lands, Mr. Obama believed. We had been aggressive and imperial in the wars we waged, and in our steady insistence that our way held out the promise for other nations. In that narrative of American guilt, the Islamic world was of central importance. It was in that vast, tormented world that Mr. Obama sought to make his mark, it was there he believed we had been particularly egregious.

    Snip

    This is a very good article, spot on in many points, and though it will be read by some as a “chickens coming home to roost” sort of thing, the points are well taken. I didn’t know the story of Lars Gule and will pursue research on him. I only wish I could write this well. I couldn’t even take Leeden’s article apart with rambling like an idiot.

    In addition to this, it’s important for people to remember the series of ties that exist between White Nationalism, Leftist ideology, and Islamism. Though the Left decries “racism” and prejudice, their ideology in many ways informs the groups they say the oppose. Not something you’ll ever hear discussed by the so-called “racial prejudice” watch dog groups, but it’s there. I have the beginnings of a dissertation addressing just this topic.

    I wonder how she got my personal email address? Mom must have given it to her but why didn’t she mention it? After 8 years of living abroad and filing taxes from here they still want an envelope with my address on it?!?

    It was sent directly to my Colorado Springs address, so they obviously knew that I lived in Colorado. It wasn’t forwarded or anything. And I’ve lived here since 2003.

    I sent it back to them with a note telling them to look at the address, if they wanted proof that I lived in Colorado.

    AP accidentally tells the truth:

    AP: ‘Almost None’ of Debt Deal’s Spending Cuts Would Occur Until 2014

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The first phase of a deal to raise the government’s borrowing limit would pose little threat to the economy in the short term because almost none of the spending cuts would occur before 2014.

    Discretionary spending, which excludes Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, would be cut by $21 billion in 2012 and $42 billion in 2013, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office. That‘s a small fraction of the nation’s $14 trillion economy.

    “The immediate economic impact of the … deal should be relatively minor,” Brian Gardner, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette and Woods, said in a research note. “As is usually the case, most of the cuts” have been put off for several years.

    What’s really funny about this piece is that they worded it so that it would be reassuring to people who depend on government largesse and might think they were going to lose out.

    Also from AP
    Jerusalem – In a dramatic policy shift, Israel’s prime minister has agreed to negotiate the borders of a Palestinian state based on the cease-fire line that marks off the West Bank, a TV station reported Monday.
    Up to now, Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to spell out his plan for negotiating the border. A senior Israeli official would not confirm outright that the prime minister was now willing to adopt the cease-fire line as a starting point, but said Israel was willing to try new formulas to restart peace talks based on a proposal made by President Barack Obama.

    “The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, & what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusetts? And can history produce an instance of rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independent 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century & a half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusetts: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen-yard in order. I hope in God this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted. — You ask me if any thing transpires here on the subject of S. America? Not a word. I know that there are combustible materials there, and that they wait the torch only. But this country probably will join the extinguishers. — The want of facts worth communicating to you has occasioned me to give a little loose to dissertation. We must be contented to amuse, when we cannot inform.”

    Jefferson was an intellectual (in the best sense of the word), but had little acumen for the real world. His theories were spot on, but he had difficulty in actually being a manager when those theories were put into practice. He died a pauper from rebuilding his house a number of times to reflect his ever-changing architectural vision.

    Politico: Biden Likens Tea Party Republicans to ‘Terrorists’

    Sources inside a closed-door meeting of Senate Democrats today said Vice President Joe Biden participated in a bit of name-calling. But not just any name-calling. No, those sources tell Politico that Biden likened Tea Party Republicans to “terrorists.”

    “We have negotiated with terrorists,” angry Rep. Mike Doyle, a Democrat from PA, said, according to sources who were in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”

    Biden agreed:


    Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists,” according to several sources in the room.

    Biden’s office refused to comment to Politico about what was said, citing that the meeting took place in a closed-door session.

    The rhetoric wouldn’t be odd for the fiery former Senator from Delaware. As Politico notes, earlier in the day he told Senate Democrats that Republican leaders have “guns to their heads” in trying to negotiate deals.

    The comments come as both sides of the aisle are upset about the proposed deal between Republican and Democratic leaders in both the House and Senate, and Biden was dispatched to try and rally support.

    admiration for the French Revolution was one of them

    His governorship of Virginia was so poor that he was almost censured by the House of Burgesses. He also backstabbed his friend John Adams.

    I have never seen the kind of astro-turfed outrage
    used against the Tea Party before.
    They are terrorists, Nazis, tea baggers, extremists,
    blah , blah , blah. The vitriol and twisting of the
    truth is really amazing.
    I went to a Tea Party out of curiosity a couple of
    years ago. They are not just like my neighbors, they
    are my neighbors.

    That’s the natural result of indoctrinating a couple of generations with the idea of cultural relativism.

    Actually, Ho Chi Minh and bin Laden are superior to Washington, since they weren’t white capitalist slaveholders.

    Matt Damon calls for more taxes on the people who “get so much”:

    “It’s criminal that like, you know, so little is asked of people who are getting so much.”

    I agree. The nearly 50% who live off the work of the other half need to start paying taxes.

    Okay, he wasn’t actually calling for the 40-some percent of the population who pay nothing to start aying their own way. He was actually talking about the people like him, who already pay the majority of the taxes:

    “I mean, I don’t mind paying more. I really don’t mind paying more taxes. I’d rather pay for taxes than cut like ‘Reading is Fundamental’ or ‘Head Start’ or some of these programs that are really helping kids. I mean, why not? This is the greatest country in the world. Is it that much worse if you pay 6 percent more in taxes? Give me a break. You know, look at what you get for it. You get to be American.”

    Damon also said those making over $250,000 per year are not job creators.

    “Nobody went and started a business with their Bush tax cut. You know, I don’t know who would believe something – that just defies common sense so no, that’s – no. I was against those tax cuts. I thought they were ridiculous. So little is asked of the upper class anyway, you know. I mean, what percent of them or their kids are fighting in any of these wars?” he said.

    U.S. Sues Alabama Over Immigration Law

    WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) — The Obama administration is challenging Alabama’s new immigration law that allows police to detain people they suspect of being illegal immigrants after a traffic stop.
    The Justice Department says the Alabama law conflicts with federal law and undermines federal immigration priorities.

    In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Alabama, the government says the state law expands the opportunities for Alabama police to push immigrants toward incarceration for various new immigration crimes.

    The Justice Department says a state cannot set its own immigration policy and cannot pass laws that conflict with federal immigration laws.

    The department quoted Birmingham police chief A.C. Roper as saying the law would divert scarce resources from local priorities to immigration enforcement.

    Last year, the department obtained a preliminary injunction against an Arizona immigration law.

    Congratulations to Alabama for joining the select club of states that are being directly attacked by our own government!

    Matt Damon, and all the other limo-libs who are wailing for more taxes, should step up to the plate and send in some bigger checks to the Treasury, above and beyond what their high dollar CPA’s tell them to send in. It could be the start of a huge movement. Think of the millions of adoring fans who would do the same. Could be the answer to our debt problems. // :roll: //

    Obama declares victory over Tea Party Terrorist Hobbits:

    With No Debt Votes, Obama Planning To Leave For Chicago Birthday Fundraiser

    With both parties clearly still unsatisfied with the “deal” struck between the White House and Republican leadership, the President is already planning to head out the door for a 50th birthday fundraising bash in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune breaks the news:

    “Obama is scheduled to attend a 50th birthday gala on Wednesday at the Aragon Ballroom, an event featuring Jennifer Hudson and Herbie Hancock. There’s also a dinner fundraiser planned for some special donors to go with the show at a cost of $35,800 a person.”

    Obama will be hitting the big 5-0 on Thursday. The Republican National Committee has already criticized Obama for planning a fundraiser after weeks of political gridlock over debt and deficit, and when the nation is still experiencing a 9.2 percent unemployment rate.
