Episode 253: Oslo Massacre: Norwegian far-right terrorism


Listen Later

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we cover the worst terrorist mass shooting in the history of Norway—The Oslo Massacre. On July 22, 2011, at 3:30 p.m., a 2,090-pound fertilizer bomb planted in a motor vehicle detonated in Norway's capital, Oslo. The target was the government building that held the offices of the ruling Labor Party as well as the finance and oil ministries of the country. The bomb was reminiscent of the Oklahoma City bombing, and it blew out windows of the government offices, wounded over 200 people, and killed eight.

Meanwhile, a man named Anders Behring Breivik was heading toward a small vacation island of Utoya, roughly 25 miles outside of Oslo. This island was the summer camp for the youth group members of the Labour Party. Breivik crossed to the island via ferry, all the while wearing a police uniform to explain his pistol (a Glock named Mjølnir) and assault rifle. He wasn’t a cop, however, just a right-wing neo-Nazi nutbag who wanted to kill a bunch of teen-aged victims to stop Muslims from coming into his beloved Norway. By the time his two-pronged attack of the Oslo Massacre was done, almost 80 people were killed and hundreds wounded.

Unlike most American shooters, this one gave up once the police were there, and he stood trial. His cold demeanor was pretty horrible at the trial, and he described with a bland calmness how the victims reacted, what parts of his mind resisted, and how he needed water since killing dries out your throat. He confessed that he was the author of a document called "2083: A European Declaration of Independence."

This document claimed that the Oslo Massacre was the first of several acts of terrorism that would win Europe back from the leftist agenda and get some fascism back in the house. So how did this young man train for the shooting? How was he legally able to buy enough fertilizer to build this bomb? Why did he file a lawsuit alleging that his human rights were violated? How do video games tie in? Why do some people think this was a false flag event? Listen, laugh, learn.
