August 7: KARMA - The Monster and the Self-Hating

THE MONSTER

COMMENT FROM THE INTERNET:

Since Glenn Beck's dramatic rise to prominence two years ago, he has been portrayed by many members of the left as a kook. The members of the left condemning Beck most loudly, to my utter dismay, have been Jews. Jon Liebowitz, aka Jon Stewart, has dedicated his show to mocking Beck as a religious freak and a nut job; in his episode on Beck's departure from his Fox News show, Stewart donned Beck-like glasses and then scoffed, "Glenn Beck was sent here by Jesus to take the 5:00 p.m. slot between Neil Cavuto and Shepard Smith for 27 months."

Rob Eshman of the atrocious Los Angeles Jewish Journal said that Beck's expose of self-hating Jew and anti-Israel fanatic George Soros was "the verbal equivalent of a Der Sturmer cartoon." Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League, which spends far less time targeting radical Muslims who want to murder Jews than commentators who love Israel, condemned that same Beck vs. Soros episode as "completely inappropriate, offensive, and over the top." The Jewish Funds for Justice, a far-left Jewish organization, ran a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal taking on Beck.


Let me say this: I stand with Glenn Beck, and against these (frequently misguided and self-destructive) Jews and their organizations. Glenn Beck is a friend of Israel. He is a friend of the Jewish people. And anyone who argues otherwise is either lying or ignorant.

Beck possesses a moral clarity with regard to the Jewish State that has no equivalent in the leftist Jewish community. He recognizes that Israel's conflict with the Palestinians is not a conflict over land or over population exchange, but over fundamental values.

On that note, a RAMADAN Reminder to LEFTISTs, Jews and Others who have a problem with my bringing up the FACT that Islam is THE PROBLEM, and not the Islamophobic Right Wing Reactionaries whom they frequently trot out to remind US that terrorism doesn't have the Quran plastered over it. It doesn't?

AS THEY REMIND US THAT
  THERE'S NO CAUSE FOR CONCERN

                                     
This list of terrorist attacks committed by Muslims since 9/11/01 (a rate of about four or five a day) is incomplete because not all such attacks are picked up by international news sources, even those resulting in multiple loss of life. 
These are not incidents of ordinary crime involving nominal Muslims killing for money or some other non-religious motive.  We only include incidents of deadly violence that can reasonably be determined to have been committed out of religious duty - as interpreted by the perpetrator.


We usually list only attacks that result in loss of life (with a handful of exceptions).  In several cases, the victims are undercounted because deaths from trauma caused by the Islamists may occur in later days, despite the best efforts of medical personnel to keep the victims alive.


We usually don't include incidents related to combat, such as in Iraq and Afghanistan, unless it involves particularly heinous terror tactics.  Unprovoked sniper or bombing attacks on foreign military personnel serving normal police duties are sometimes included depending on the circumstances (although rarely).


Unfortunately, this list of Muslim terrorist attacks barely scratches the surface of atrocities committed in the name of Islam occurring world-wide each day.  For that reason, we don't tally up the dead and dismembered, except on a weekly and monthly basis.


As an example, most news articles on the violence in Southern Thailand note that about 900 people were killed in 2005.  We estimate that 150 of these deaths are of the Islamic militants themselves, which means they killed some 750 people that year.  But TROP only recorded the deaths of 314.  We underreported more than half the casualties in a country with a decent news infrastructure.  Imagine what we don't catch in the Sudan, where the overall toll has run into the hundreds of thousands!

AGB: A Leftie will interpret the statistics, the thousands, nay, tens of thousands of people murdered, dismembered and maimed, as documented above, as the work of Gary Viegh, Anders Breivik, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck. This comment is intended so that this issue is put into perspective. The perspective of the Left.

RIGHT WING SUICIDE BOMBERS WENT ON STRIKE


The VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY Suicide Bombers, Local 72 Virginians, have not yet submitted their demands to the "authorities" at the FED, Illuminati, Bilderbergers, CFR, Rothchilds, BoC, GS, Mossad and the Vatican. 

Overheard by the TSA agents on site however were whispers about "virgins." Emergency meetings are being held behind closed doors. A poster at the entry warned the right wingnut conspirators that firearms are not allowed inside and to leave their weapons at the check it for further confiscation. 

There was fear that the vast right wingers may shoot each other. Hastily hired SEIU member TSA agents were posted at the entry for pat downs. The Vatican issued no comment. The Mossad spokesman admitted: "WE DID IT!," later adding, "We are responsible for everything, including sunspots."


In the REAL WORLD we come upon another INCONVENIENT TRUTH.

Was Brievik, the Norse mass murdered, a rightwingnut?

In fact Brievik was a health food nut who operated an Organic Farm. A LEFTWING organic farm. Just like the weed farms in Nancy Pelosi's state:

NEWS FROM LEFT FIELD...ONE CANNOT MAKE A LEFT TURN WIDER THAN THIS.

AND NEWS FOR THE RIGHT. THE LEFT HAS US PEGGED!

NEWS & POLITICS  

Four Reasons the Tea Partiers Were Big Losers in the Debt Ceiling Deal

The professional political operatives behind the Tea Party movement were huge winners, but what about the rank-and-file Tea Partiers themselves?
August 2, 2011  |  
The conventional wisdom holds that the Tea Partiers were among the "winners" of the debt ceiling fight. We know this because the Washington Post, that font of Beltway conventional wisdom, told us as much:

http://www.alternet.org/news/151898/four_reasons_the_tea_partiers_were_big_losers_in_the_debt_ceiling_deal?page=1#disqus_thread



THE RIGHT NEEDS TO READ WHAT'S COMING FROM LEFTCURVE....Alter, Huffington, KOS, and MoveOn....and the blog pages of the Times. That is the only way you'll understand the hysterical juveniles who impose their culture on the rest of us.

Yup, I speak about all those glassy-eyed college kids who voted in November 2008,
most of whom are still unemployed and will never be able to repay the cost of their tuition. That's because they're so smart. Life's FIRST LESSON:

Don't HOPE. Do!


Before you spout an opinion, do your homework!


For example, from ALTERNET you get this:




Writes Blumenthal: "Though he referred heavily to his fellow Norwegian, the blogger Fjordman, it was Robert Spencer, the American Islamophobic pseudo-academic, who received the most references from Breivik -- 55 in all. Then there was Daniel Pipes, the Muslim-bashing American neoconservative who earned 18 citations from the terrorist."

Incidentally, Tarek Fatah, the head of the Canadian Muslim Council, specifically mentioned Spencer and Pipes and a few others as being the most knowledgeable scholars about Islam with whom moderate Muslims happen to be IN AGREEMENT.

Meaning that Blumethal and AlterNet,  and the rest of Left BLogosphere, rather than having exposed the VAST RIGHT WING conspiracy in the Norway killings, had in fact exposed themselves and their agenda in not only DEFENDING ISLAMOFASCISTS -  NOT in agreement with moderate Muslims - but having made COMMON CAUSE with Islamofascists. 

Mostly by blaming  the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy for a persistent and ducumented trail of mass murders committed by Islamists since Thomas Jefferson began America's fight with the Bey of Tunis before 1800.




The rest of Blumenthal's rant against non-elitist common Americans is the typical hatefest one finds at AlterNet, KOS, MoveOn and Huffington, even in the comments section of The New York Times, that can be completely dismissed with this:

                                           

And from another view:  Andrew Sullivan


For the rest of his first term, the president has taken his opponents' biggest weapon away from themSo the Republicans, if they keep insisting on no tax increases whatsoever, will soon be faced with having to cut defence.
The Tea Partiers will be lined up against the neoconservatives in a way almost designed to split the party. They've never had to make that choice so baldly before.
Let's assume the committee fails, and the Pentagon and healthcare for the elderly take the hit. Obama can easily blame the Republicans for both, because of their insistence on no new taxes.
Remember that Obama wants spending cuts anyway. This way, he can duck much of the blame.
And taxes? George W Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy are due to expire in December 2012 anyway. Unless the Republicans win both houses of Congress and the presidency next year, a return to Clinton-era tax rates will bring in $4 trillion over the decade. I'd say it's win-win for the president, neutral for the Democrats and a strategic debacle for the Republicans.

So readers, as you can see, the left see it overall as a win-win, and we are the LOSE - LOSE.

An Inconvenient Truth

U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, reacted to the news of Standard & Poor's downgrade of the U.S.'s credit rating on Friday night, saying, "This decision by S&P is the latest consequence of the out-of-control spending that has taken place in Washington for decades." He added that "the spending binge has resulted in job-destroying economic uncertainty and now threatens to send destructive ripple effects across our credit markets."

So, you disagree with Boehner and agree with Obama?
OK, let's take out the calculator:


The U.S. Congress sets a federal budget every year in the trillions of dollars. Few people know how much money that is so we created a breakdown of federal spending in simple terms. Let's put the 2011 federal budget into perspective:
  • U.S. income: $2,170,000,000,000
  • Federal budget: $3,820,000,000,000
  • New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
  • National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
  • Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000 (about 1 percent of the budget)
It helps to think about these numbers in terms that we can relate to. Let's remove eight zeros from these numbers and pretend this is the household budget for the fictitious Jones family.
  • Total annual income for the Jones family: $21,700
  • Amount of money the Jones family spent: $38,200
  • Amount of new debt added to the credit card: $16,500
  • Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
  • Amount cut from the budget: $385
So in effect last month Congress, or in this example the Jones family, sat down at the kitchen table and agreed to cut $385 from its annual budget. What family would cut $385 of spending in order to solve $16,500 in deficit spending?

Norway Utoya Youth Camp: Israel Boycott – Palestinian Statehood – Break the Blockade Games: A Different Kind of Hate Brewing in Norway

July 30, 2011

The 'youths' at the Utoya Island, Norway youth camp were calling for a boycott of Israel, and statehood for Palestinians the day before Andre Behring Breivik came to the island and mercilessly shot and killed 66 on the island. These children were attending a youth camp run by the country's Labour Party, and were immersed in some fairly heavy duty politics, courtesy of the adults in their lives, no doubt. Nothing like teaching the kids to hate on a beautiful and lushly green island on summer break. Note, they even have signs – Boycott Israel. They demanded a Palestinian State. One of the camp activities the week of the shootings was "Break the Blockade." See UPDATEs below.

Berkshire Hathaway's quarterly results were also aided by a one-time gain of $1.25 billion from Goldman Sachs' repayment of an investment Buffett's company made at the height of the financial crisis in 2008.

Former Dawkins Atheist Richard Morgan Continues to Praise God


Former Dawkins Atheist Richard Morgan Continues to Praise God


Thu, Mar. 24, 2011 Posted: 06:58 AM EDT

Three years later and still going strong, one man continues to prove to atheists that his conversion was not a “temporary brain infarction.”


Nominal Christian, Mormon missionary, atheist, and now a born-again Christian, Richard Morgan recently spoke to Apologetics315 about his life-changing, or saving, experience on none other than Richard Dawkins’ infamous website.


Having been through his share of religious inquiry at a young age, Morgan realized that he was constantly in search of something, whether it be spiritual or not.


Embracing answers in whatever shape they took, he found himself a Mormon at one point in his life after meeting two Mormon missionaries. But after becoming a missionary, he began to have some serious doubts about his beliefs, which later caused him to abandon that religion altogether.


Blindly searching still for something to hold on to, Morgan shared in his interview, “I was aware that probably much more than seeking God I was seeking a social context where I would be accepted. I think basically all of us deep down, we’re all looking to be accepted in some way or another.”
Having grown out of the need for that kind of moral support however as he aged, Morgan one day began to read Dawkins’ book, The Blind Watchmaker which revolutionized his life and made sense of everything he had been experiencing.


The book made one thing clear: There was nothing to look for, so stop looking and get on with your life.
“This was a real epiphany experience… to realize of course all those years of searching for something spiritual or God-like were bound to be completely frustrating because God didn’t exist.


“I didn’t feel like I became an atheist, the feeling was more that I realized I always had been,” expressed Morgan. “I had a feeling that I never actually believed in God but I was looking for some unhealthy psychological reason [to believe]… coming out as an atheist was really a hallelujah experience for me.”


Morgan’s interest in evolution increased dramatically after reading the book, redirecting his attention towards understanding the nature of living things around him more than trying to understand things that were above.


More than the religious debate, it was his interest in evolution that led him to follow Richard Dawkins. Upon finding the author’s actual website, Morgan was excited to communicate with scientists and philosophers who could offer more insight into evolution.


But rather than discussing the nature of evolution in the “oasis of clear thinking,” Morgan was horrified to discover in his first forum that more than half of the people devoted their time saying rude things about believers using extremely foul language.


“I don’t know if you’ve seen ‘The Social Network’ but there’s one point where a girl says to the main character ‘Just stay in your dark room and make snide remarks because that’s what the angry do these days.’”


After witnessing the discussions firsthand, the newly minted evolutionist agreed that the Internet was more a place where people could hide behind their anonymity and say rude things as a kind of therapy.

Still searching for answers however, Morgan continued to be a part of the community, drawn particularly to a discussion on David Robertson’s open letter replying to Dawkins’ first chapter of The God Delusion.


Prompted to write a response to each of Dawkins’ chapters in the book, the Scottish pastor eventually compiled all the letters into a book called The Dawkins Letters.


Criticizing the book in the forums, members began to attack the letters until one day Robertson himself appeared in the discussions and began defending the points he made.
“I don’t know how many hours he must have spent just replying very calmly and politely to people who were sending out the most vilest insults and criticisms,” Morgan recalled. “He just kept coming back and occasionally with a few words of Scripture thrown into his general discourse.”
Unable to understand what was wrong with Robertson, Morgan himself posed a question on the discussion boards asking members why the pastor kept coming back and what result he expected. One of the seasoned and experienced posters on the forum commented, “It’s just another Christian attention seeker.”


“Yes, David Robertson was seeking attention but it wasn’t for David Robertson. We all know for whom he was seeking attention,” expressed the now Christian Morgan.
For several days the attacks continued, until one day someone replied that David Robertson was a liar. But Morgan throughout all of the threads had not noticed this and asked where the pastor had lied, bringing him a bout of criticisms as well.


“I was probably too unintelligent to see where he was a liar,” remembered Morgan.


As time went on, he began to see more and more the brutality and harshness of the chats, recalling one shocking post where the site administrator had published an article about an extremist Russian prophet who tried to commit suicide when his prediction for the date of the end of the world failed to come true.


A couple of posters in response to the story regretted that the fallen prophet had failed in his attempt to put an end to his life. Stunned by the level of inhumanity, Morgan wondered how any civilized person could say they wanted to see anybody die. Writing a protestation to some form of humanity in the forums about his shock and disappointment in the members, one respected member on the site simply replied to his post with an LOL– laugh out loud.


It was then that Morgan realized he did not want to be a part of these people. “I’m not condemning all atheists,” he clarified in the interview. “I’m talking about anonymous atheists on internet discussion boards and the messages they express which are extremely negative, puerile, [and] full of hate…”


Coming back to Robertson’s replies to all the “nastiness and unpleasantness,” which Morgan himself was a part of, composing a piece of music just to insult the pastor, Morgan reread the debates and was impressed at several aspects of Robertson’s participation.


First, his persistence and continual presence in the discussions astounded Morgan. Robertson always came back and sometimes got up two hours earlier in the morning to give adequate response time to the criticisms.


Secondly he defended himself in a robust manner while not hesitating to wish everyone well. He wasn’t the meek and mild kind of Christian who said "I love you all and you’re all nice," but the kind of Christian who stood up for what he believed in.


Printing out over fifty pages of Robertson’s posts, Morgan read through all the posts again and found no lies. What he discovered instead was humility, intelligence, sensitivity, and several references to the Bible.


In his confused state, without God or a community of atheists to turn to, Morgan started to post on The Free Church of Scotland’s forum, which the Scottish pastor was a part of.


Writing to Robertson about how he appreciated his responses and comments, Morgan shared how he couldn’t believe in God. “I’m not an atheist because I want to be an atheist. I’m not a happy atheist. I’m an atheist because I can’t believe in God."


In response to Morgan’s post, Robertson, the “resident fruitcake” at the Dawkins’ forums, asked him two questions which subsequently changed his life: 1) Why don’t you believe in God? 2) What could make you believe in God?
Dismissing the first question as dumb, Robertson’s initial reaction to the second question was “certainly not proof and evidence.”


At that moment, Morgan's instinctive response conjured up to his memory, probably from his previous Mormon days, the verse, “We love because he first loved us.” And in that instant, Morgan understood the expression “amazing grace.”
“I was certain without having any rational explanation that God existed, that he loved me without waiting for me to love him, that he loved me unconditionally without waiting for me to deserve it.”


“Science and philosophy are wonderful manifestations of the enormous capacities of the human mind, but the Word of God is truth, and truth is what it took to set me free,” Morgan stated. “Only a personal relationship with God can bring us to any kind of meaningful, personal, transcendental truth.”
In his renewed experience with God, he went back on the Dawkins site and posted about his newfound faith to which many replied with vile insults and commented, “You need counseling” and “This is a temporary brain infraction.”
But now, three years later, the “temporary brain infraction” Morgan was affected with continues to persist. Morgan is still amazed and feels the love of God even more now every day, being plugged into a church, which Robertson referred him to.


“I didn’t cease to know everything I knew before and I didn’t forget everything I learned about evolution or all of a sudden lose interest. I was [just] aware of how limited it was, how it could not answer man’s deepest needs.


“There’s a famous French quotation that says, ‘In every person’s heart there is a God-shaped hole.’ I am aware of the presence of this God-shaped hole and that only the love of God can fill it.”


Advising believers to speak to people in their language and maintain open lines of communication as Robertson had before in the forums, Morgan noted, “There’s no point speaking the truth if you are speaking a language that the person in front of you can’t understand.”


“It’s important to understand where atheists are coming from in their modern day arguments and how many valid refutations there are in the Christian message to all these criticisms.”


Speaking to atheists, Morgan said, “Science and philosophy do not have the answer to everything. If you are willing to listen with an open mind and an open heart and just say ‘perhaps I do not possess all the truth,’ that is an act of humility and I know that God never rejects or ignores acts of humility.”


Referring to Revelation 3 where Jesus spoke, “I stand at the door and knock,” Morgan concluded, “Jesus hasn’t invited you to come and knock on his door. He says, ‘I am here, I am standing at the door, and knock.’ All you have to do is open the door and invite [him] in.”


Morgan’s testimony is now a part of the revamped edition of The Dawkins Letters, by David Robertson.

IN MEMORIAM / Nazim, Communism, Radical Islam

                                     http://fakkelbrigade.eu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/in_memoriam.jpg

He disliked the extreme political sentiment with a passion. His blind spot was to deny the racism combined with fascism prevalent in Hungary's history and culture - I suppose to defend the national honor. Nationalism is a common sentiment, most of it based on the myth of the "pure" Hungarian. Like the pure Aryan, the pure American, and the pure Muslim. Of course it is all dreamcatching. The truth is that Hungary was invaded by hordes of every race and creed, from the Mongols, Tartars, Germans, Vikings, Turks and Khazars. Across the centuries it became the crossroads of European invasions and trade, with fertile plains for grazing, farming and breeding. And war. Pagans, Christians and Jews, Muslims and all, intermarried with each other, the other's blood cursing through their descendant's veins. There is no pure ANYTHING in the human race except for pure BS. Imi understood it. And so do I.





He often brought up stories about various Hungarian-Nazi officials who were "gainfully employed" during World War II as murderers, torturers and other low lives, and had smoothly transitioned to become "gainfully employed" communist officials, murderers and torturers AFTER World War II. All it took was a change in one's uniform and the swastika switched out for the hammer and sickle.


So much for nationalism.


Maybe Americans can learn a lesson about the political extremes and fascists that had invaded, perverted and infiltrated both parties of our current political culture? More on that below as you will see. As they had invaded Norway's to the result that this MEMORIAM is also dedicated.


Hungary and "ethnic" Hungarians were not only complicit in a series of mass murders, but had joined the Axis in World War II.

He was my friend from the first grade. He'd take his shirt off his back for you. Totally without guile or arrogance, he was honest and modest to a fault and painfully honorable. Painfully I say, because one cannot help but compare one's own shortcomings to his virtues. His sense of humor was unbounded, reciting one joke after another. No one came close.




A city boy turned country bumpkin, he ended up in a small resort village next to a river tributary in the south of Hungary. He retired. He told me there was no point in working in a society that will not reward talent but do as it has to his dad. The way Norwegian society is heading....


I visited him every few years...


His hospitality knew no bounds. Once I was delayed by Air France by more than ten hours. He and his wife waited in the waiting room for me to arrive, not even leaving to eat.


He was poor in material things, living a hand to mouth existence, spirit destroyed by the communists and the crony capitalism that followed, some of it surely his own doing, unable to lift himself up, he wouldn't even let me help him out. Even the small gifts he took reluctantly. I tried to sneak - through an agent - a slightly used compact car into his driveway under the cover of darkness to replace his twenty year old rust heap. He got wind of it and foiled me. And then took me to task for trying. He was a proud man.


My best friend in Hungary, Eros  Imre, left us last Friday after a heart attack - his first and last.  His ashes will be scattered along the banks of the Tisza river...in the waters and land that he loved.

It is possible that his kind of diet, rich in fats, smoking and drinking, didn't help matters. Like most of us, we don't take our mortality seriously or what we can do about preventing premature death.


We were born about a week apart. Inseparable. Friends.

His dad was known as the architect who built Hungary's largest national sports stadium and had  also patented the railroad tie across Europe to standardize  passage from nation to nation -each with its own standards before. Stalin gave him a medal for it. Then Stalin rewarded him by expropriating the apartment buildings and land he owned. And the rest of his wealth.

A few years later Stalin had a stroke. Stalin deserved far worse.

My friend deserved far better.

A massive loss of a fine human being.

What a world we live in.

Rest in Peace Imi.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF YOU KNEW FOR A FACT THAT AMERICA'S FINEST FAMILIES FUNDED ALL THREE:

1. NAZISM

2. COMMUNISM

3. ISLAMOFASCISM


And that all three ideologies had won?

Even though you may still believe that all three had lost or are losing?


You need to see at least PART III. The person interviewed is a well known ex-CIA agent and Nazi Hunter. And much more. He has credibility, He testified in Congress and was interviewed on 60 Minutes where he could not divulge the details. The fly in the ointment, so to speak, was that he outlived the secrecy deadlines and now he's talking.



You'll always understand the U.S. and
why it does what it does when you
understand these simple facts.

If you missed the first two parts they are here and very helpful for getting the full story.

This is the story of why America is the way it is. Sadly, the Nazi, or more accurately the people who funded them, won the war.

What were the kids doing at the ill-fated socialist indoctrination camp?



After reading this lunatic's manifesto, it became clear why he attacked this youth center. It was a Leftist indoctrination camp. One of the activities at this camp was the demonization of Israel. In fact, when the shooting began, some thought it was a simulation of what they are taught, Israel does in Gaza.
"Some of my friends tried to stop him by talking to him. Many people think on the island that it was a test … comparing it to how it is to live in Gaza. So many people went to him and tried to talk to him, but they were shot immediately." - Adrian Pracon
Why would these kids think this? Clearly there was anti-Israel/Jewish indoctrination going on. In fact, a few days before the shooting, the Norwegian Foreign Minister attended a boycott Israel event at this camp.
Forty-eight hours before Friday massacre, teens participating in ruling party youth camp met with Norwegian foreign minister. Some called for boycott of Israel.
Several of the youths waved signs reading: "Boycott Israel."The teenagers who took part in Norway's ruling party youth camp in the island of Utoya met with Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere and demanded he recognize Palestine on Wednesday, two days before the deadly terror attack which left many of them dead.
Now before anyone gets it twisted, I am NOT justifying this lunatic's attack. Killing 90 kids in cold blood, is never justified. I am not explain why they thought the shooting at first was mimicking what they claim Israel does in Gaza. They were being brainwashed at this Progressive indoctrination camp. In his twisted mind, the shooter thought he was fighting evil. That is why this camp was targeted.

This shouldn't need saying, but it does: there can be no excuse, justification or rationale whatsoever for the atrocity perpetrated by Anders Behring Breivik.



The appalling actions of a Norwegian psychopath tell us next to nothing about our society. But the reaction to that atrocity tells us a great deal more.

There is however yet another aspect of the millenarian mindset which should not be overlooked. In my book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power, I consider at some length the millenarian fantasies not just of modern-day Islamists but also of the modern left. (I owe a debt of gratitude to Professor Richard Landes, who generously talked me through millenarian theories when I was writing my book some two years ago and whose own magnificent book on the subject, Heaven on Earth: The Varieties of Millennial Experience, has just been published.)

All the totemic creeds of today's 'progressive' classes  – environmentalism, egalitarianism, multiculturalism, anti-Zionism and so on — are millenarian, in that they all posit in their different ways the perfection of the world (just like, in their time, the Inquisition, Stalinism and fascism).
Consequently, today's militantly secular leftists display some astonishing similarities to both modern-day Islamists and medieval Christian fanatics.

There is the same belief in the Revealed Truth – Revealed, that is, to them alone – from which no-one is permitted to dissent. Anyone who denies it is a heretic and has to be destroyed. Because the left believes it embodies virtue — on account of its desire to perfect the world – anyone who dissents or opposes it is evil. Because it is Manichean, all who are not left-wing are right-wing (even if they are in fact liberal). So all who oppose the left are evil right-wingers who must be destroyed. That to leftists is a moral project.
They are therefore in effect a modern secular Inquisition. They are in the same mould as the religious and political totalitarian tyrannies of the past; they make in this respect common cause with the Islamists whose agenda poses a mortal threat to their own lives and liberties and most cherished beliefs; and they share the characteristic of a closed thought system which is totally impervious to reason and destroys all who challenge it with the monsters of history and Anders Behring Breivik.
That is surely why the left seized upon the Norway atrocity with demented joy and detonated a terrifying eruption of distortion and demonisation, irrationality, hatred and sheer blood-lust as it saw in the ravings of Anders Behring Breivik the mother and father of all smears which it could use to crush those who refuse to surrender to cultural totalitarianism.  



So those of us who fight for life, liberty and western civilisation against their enemies found ourselves – and by implication, the many millions who share these mainstream views – grotesquely damned as accessories to mass murder by those who actually cheer on religious fascists and genocidal madmen and who are set upon silencing all who resist.

THE BIG HATE





by Dan 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.

                                      http://www.treehugger.com/communism-green-party-symbol.png


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.
None of this impeded Gule's career in any way. He went on to the University of Bergen and served as the head of the Workers Youth League, the organization that was targeted in the Utoya attack. Today he is a prominent figure on the left.
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.

                                              COMINTERN
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.




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.
And behind that is the larger string of DFLP and Fatah atrocities. And that of other terrorist groups around the world. The Utoya attack cannot be viewed as an isolated event. It must be seen within the context of support for terrorism as a valid tactic. An idea that goes back to the Marxist roots of the Labour Party and which is embodied in its political support for terrorism. And its manifest hostility to the victims of terrorism.
Breivik and Lars Gule had their common origins in a country dominated by a political left which sees violence as a legitimate tool of political change, while dehumanizing its victims. Norway's ambassador to Israel carefully distinguished between the Utoya attack and the terrorist attacks on Israelis. The latter would go away if Israel just followed Gahre-Store's example and negotiated with Hamas.
                                                    LET'S NEGOTIATE!

http://ivarfjeld.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/hamas_wideweb__470x3490.jpg
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. 
                                                     https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73ldnsYYeDvLO0fHy-8rrIXnwSuCLEd8GEpkruXnhkpKXlWlArMO4J7rsMFbLbUEuT817D7De-BDiBnuZOmaPzoGXCVzaJmNVPhYojbpA0a-UfB3dde_fBjuOT42kmTzESyMp3giUFwI/s1600/middle+east+terrorism%252C+obama+cartoons.bmp


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.
