Breivik’s Letter to the Media in German

Last month we published a letter written to the media by Anders Behring Breivik from his prison suite in Norway. In it Mr. Breivik repudiated any support for the Counterjihad. He confessed that his apparent affiliation with it, as expressed in his “manifesto”, was actually a ruse designed to distract the authorities and the media from his real ideology — neo-Nazi racial hygiene — and send them haring after Fjordman, Robert Spencer, Bat Ye’or, et al.

As we all know, the little trick played on us by the Butcher of Utøya was quite successful. The media hounded Fjordman into exile and cost an undetermined number of peaceful Counterjihad activists their jobs (besides Fjordman in Norway, at least three people of my acquaintance in Britain were sacked after Breivik’s massacre caused the newspapers to “out” them).

The significance of Mr. Breivik’s letter was such that it needed to be translated into German so it could reach a wider audience. In a herculean effort JLH translated the entire text of the letter, plus my accompanying post, and the result has been published at Politically Incorrect.

Readers who read German may want to drop by PI and see the result. JLH deserves our gratitude for accomplishing this most difficult task.

  1. “at least three people of my acquaintance in Britain were sacked after Breivik’s massacre caused the newspapers to “out” them”
    –Baron, why were they sacked? Was it because Breivik quoted something they wrote?

    • No. None of them was quoted or referenced by Breivik.

      Here’s the way it worked: There was a media feeding frenzy directed at Counterjihad websites and writers in the immediate aftermath of Breivik’s attacks. It lasted for about 6-8 weeks, during August and September of 2011.

      Fjordman, Gates of Vienna, Jihad Watch, Document.no., Politically Incorrect, Daniel Pipes, and others were in the klieg lights during that time.

      Anybody associated with the above came under scrutiny. Leftist “anti-fascist” outfits combed through everything they could find on the internet and fed the information to the newspapers.

      Paul Ray, a.k.a. Lionheart, also did his part: after the media identified him as a possible candidate for Breivik’s “Richard the Lionheart” EDL contact (which Lionheart was not), Mr. Ray publicly turned on his erstwhile comrades in the Counterjihad, presumably to direct the attention of cybersleuths towards other possible targets. He managed to expose several people that way.

      By various means, the real identities of a number of such people were discovered and published. The newspapers then descended on them, exposing them as “Breivik’s mentors” or some similar sort of falsehood. Their employers did not welcome the unpleasant publicity, and did not wish to be seen as employing “right-wing extremists” or “neo-Nazis”. So they were let go.

      That, in a nutshell, is what happened. I don’t know how many people experienced this process, but I am personally acquainted with at least three of them.

  2. “…a letter written to the media by Anders Behring Breivik from his prison suite in Norway. In it Mr. Breivik repudiated any support for the Counterjihad.”

    No; Breivik only repudiated one of the two “wings” he claimed constitute the Counterjihad. The wing he repudiated and tried to sabotage was the “liberal” and “pro-Jewish” (if not Jewish-controlled) wing; the wing he did not repudiate and strongly implied he supports is the wing more in synch with his nationalistic and ethnographic ideology.
