Breivik Says It Began in 1999 - Primary Motivations Islam in Serbia ... and Knitting Classes

Norway killer Anders Behring Breivik called Gordon Brown and Prince Charles 'traitors'


Anders Behring Breivik named Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and the Prince of Wales among thousands of British "traitors" who deserved to be murdered in a chilling manifesto of his crazed beliefs.

From the Telegraph:

The mass killer emailed a 1,518-page document to his friends just hours before he carried out Norway's worst terrorist attack, in which he urged others to follow his example by killing anyone who tolerates Islam.

Written in perfect, idiomatic English and datelined "London, 2011", the "European Declaration of Independence" is laced with references to British politicians, journalists and public figures seen as "targets".

The manifesto, which took Breivik three years to write, is part terrorists' handbook, part autobiography and part extremist political rant. It has provided police with a mine of information which will help establish whether the gunman had accomplices.

The targets

Heads of state, political leaders and newspaper editors are among the "Category A traitors" whose punishment for allowing the spread of Islam in Europe merits "the death penalty", says Breivik.

Gordon Brown's picture appears alongside that of Hitler in a gallery of "war criminals" who have failed to halt the spread of Islam, and Breivik says Gordon Brown was "colluding with" Islamic terror groups by making "London the global centre of Islamic banking". He adds: "Brown is giving Muslims more influence over our lives yet knows that terrorists are organising to go to war with us."

Jack Straw and Tony Blair are named because they "'dishonestly' concealed a plan to allow in more immigrants and make Britain more multicultural".

Mr Blair is "a worse appeaser than Chamberlain ever was".

The Prince of Wales, meanwhile, is criticised for his patronage of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, built with money from the Saudi royal family, which shows that "our traditional elites are colluding with them against us".

He also singles out Andrew Neather, a speech writer for Tony Blair, Jon Cruddas, the Labour MP who was asked by Gordon Brown to look into the rise of the far right, and Chris Patten, who argued for stronger ties to the Arab world.

Foreign leaders named as targets include Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and José Manuel Barroso.
Breivik lists 100 political parties in Europe that "directly or indirectly support the Islamisation of Europe", including the Conservatives, Labour and the Lib Dems. He even lists the numbers of "Category A and B traitors" who should be killed in each country, saying there are 62,216 in the UK.

The sleeper cells
Breivik gives himself the rank of Justiciar Knight, "part of an indestructible network of cells, spread all around Europe that functions without a central command".

He estimates there are between 15 and 80 such "knights" in western Europe, each of whom is a "solo martyr cell" who is "completely unknown to our enemies and has a minimal chance of being exposed".

Each man has an "obligation" to act "on your own initiative". Prophetically, he boasts that among the "advantages of one-man cells" are the ability to "take the enemy by surprise", and knowing the local terrain, meaning "We have greater mobility and speed than the police".

The model state
Breivik's aim, he says, is to achieve a "monoculture" modelled on Japan or South Korea.

These "role models", he says, "represent many of the European classical conservative principles of the 1950s" because they are "scientifically advanced, economically progressive" societies "which will not accept multiculturalism or Cultural Marxist principles".

He adds that they are today the most peaceful societies "where you can travel freely everywhere without the constant fear of getting raped, ravaged, robbed or killed".

Two million dead
The manifesto contains a tally of the number of people Breivik believes should be murdered in his crusade.
His personal preference would be for 45,000 people to be killed and another million wounded, which he says reflects the number of people killed and raped by Muslims since 1999, which he calls the beginning of the "European civil war".

Humiliated by knitting classes
Breivik's grudge against society appears to have its roots in the humiliation he felt at being forced to learn to knit at Smestad primary school in Oslo.

He says these courses were introduced "to feminise European boys in their insane quest to attempt to create the Marxist utopia consisting of 'true equality between the sexes'. I remember I dreaded these courses as it felt very unnatural and was a complete waste of time."
Events that tipped the scales

Breivik asks himself questions such as "what tipped the scales for you?". 

He writes that Norway's involvement in the Nato force which bombed Serbia in 1999 was "unacceptable" because the "Serbian brothers" wanted "drive Islam out". His beliefs were reaffirmed by Norway's handling of the Mohammed cartoon controversy and "thousands of Muslims pouring in annually" to Norway. 

The manifesto document
A large red cross of St George, symbol of the medieval Knights Templar, and the date 2083, loom over Breivik's manifesto. Writing as Andrew Berwick, an anglicisation of his name, he styles himself as an heir to the medieval crusaders, and wants to drive all Muslims from Europe by 2083, the 400th anniversary of the Battle of Vienna, when an Ottoman Turk army was defeated by a Christian army.

He says he spent nine years planning the terrorist attacks, including three years to write the document, and spent €130,000 (£115,000) doing it, as well as losing €187,500 in foregone income.

Hitler the traitor
Breivik says Hitler was "a traitor to the Germanic and all European tribes" because he "had the military capabilities necessary to liberate Jerusalem and the nearby provinces from Islamic occupation" but failed to do so.

How to plan your attack
Over more than a dozen pages he covers everything from physical training and diet to tips on taking holidays to countries where someone can practise their "marksmanship". He lists what to take for an attack and that the pack should not weigh more than 90lbs (40kg) "including full body armour, weapons and ammo". There is advice on stop blood flow, where to hide weapons and where to obtain, test and store explosives and guns.
How to create a diversion

In an awful image of events that were to unfold, the manifesto describes the benefits of an "open feint" diversion where "you point west, when your goal is actually in the east". The bomb blast in Oslo shortly before the massacre on Utoya island focused the attention of the police and emergency services.

He talks of infiltrating "enemy organisations" and suggests "getting a job at the youth camp connected to the largest political party is one way of doing this. The prime minister usually visits during summer season."
Targets in the UK
The document discusses weapons of mass destruction and is specific about potential UK targets. Oilfields in the North Sea are listed, and Breivik suggests the BP offices in Dyce, Aberdeen, is a target because that runs "all BP fields in British territory".

Among hundreds of refences Breivik cites are several well-known British newspaper columnists and articles in publications across the political spectrum.

Melanie Phillips, of the Daily Mail, is quoted at length, including an opinion piece about Labour’s immigration policy which is included in full.

Attacking the rise in immigration, she remarks: “It was done to destroy for ever what it means to be culturally British and to put another 'multicultural' identity in its place.”

He also cites an article by Jeremy Clarkson, the Top Gear presenter and Sunday Times columnist, about the flag of St George stating: “This is the only country in the world where the national flag is deemed offensive.”
Praising Clarkson’s Top Gear performances, Breivik adds: “Discrediting national flags as signs of ‘bigotry’ is happening all over the Western world.”

He also cites The Guardian 10 times.
