They Say I'm a Threat to Democracy

I'm the guy on the left. Local TV sticks a microphone in my face saying: "You're a fascist and a rasist, what have you to say in your defence?"

It wasn't so alarming to begin with. On my Swedish blog I wrote about Breivik, much as I do here on Ersatz Moonlight. Then I lost my internship at the local university. I had been blogging during worktime and the content of the blog wasn't PC so they terminated the internship. I was an intern, living on social welfare; then you're not formally employed so I have no civil case to run against the university. I obeyed under protest, left the place and went back to my life with gourmet coocking and Tangerine Dream on the stereo. A new internship will be administred by the local authorities, as they are obliged to do. As for myself I waited a couple of days after the sacking and then wrote about the affaire on my blog.

Case closed. Or so I thought. But MSM thought otherwise. The Swedish national news service TT read my blog and sent out a telegram, relating the Exiting Story of a man who got fired for blogging about Breivik. Then a Norwegian paper saw it and sensed a scoop; the journalist phoned me and, among other things, asked if he could use a picture of me that was posted on the blog. I said "go ahead"; the resulting article was a bit dubious, I was said to be "an admirer of Breivik", but that was not the case. I despise the guy and his murderous deeds. But I had nothing against being named and having my picture posted in Verldens Gang. I've nothing to hide even though I'm a radical and an immigration critic.

Then TV came and rang on my door. I let them interview me. After having talked with the university prefect they made their reporting, aired 17 november on local TV. It's a good piece, quite some drama there with all the music, the camera angles and narration. "Here is the cubicle where he sat blogging"... How can you beat that? But they gave me a bitch-slap by pixelling out my face, they made me look like f-cking Cthulhu! I've been made into a Blob, a hob-gobling from the darkest recesses of space. I resent that. I'm not a number, I'm a free man...!


I mean, I can endure being called a racist and an extremist even though I don't like the ring of those labels. And, on this Swedish website for National TV, I'm called "a threat to democracy". They even speak with a representative of the Security Police asking if they've got something on me. They haven't but they're going to watch me closely from now on, they say. I can even go with that; I'm not advocating action, that should be clear by the tenure of this blog too, Ersatz Moonlight. But, I mean: if the police suspects a guy for being a security threat then they have to check him up. And I'm willing to talk to the police anytime they want. I've got nothing to hide.

I can endure all those enmities. But I dont accept being dehumanized and made to look like a cavedweller, a troglodyte without face or name. I'm Lennart Svensson, open blogger since way back, author with several published books. As for my English activities I've been online with this blog since the summer of 2010. I've had short stories published like this one.

My pay-off to this story is: if MSM wants to name bad boys, wants to have monsters acting as their Ideal Enemies, then they have to let them appear with name and picture and all. Otherwise it gets kind of pointless. They might have had judicial motives for not showing my face on TV but f-ck all that, I'm willing to take on the whole of Swedish media as a radical and a conservative, a Terrible Person and a Threat to Democracy or whatever they're going to call me. They call me that and then I'm willing to do battle on those terms. Bring it on.

Breivik: a Nordic Perspective

Anders Behring Breivik committed a mass murder on Utöya Island in July. He's a Norwegian. I'm a Swede. Sweden is Norway's closest neighbour. For what it's worth, here I'll give you some Nordic perspectives on Breivik, Utöya, the manifesto "2083" and all that.

1. Nordicism

Let me begin by stating my political position: I'm a man of the right, a radical conservative. So Breivik's criticism of muliticulturalism and islamisation ring rather true with me. I resent this whole mass immigration thing, threatening as it is the traditional European and Swedish societies, their culture and identity. The Frankfurt School with all its negativism is not my cup of tea. I'm a European traditionalist with a predilection for Jünger and Spengler. However, I don't live in a bunker. E. g. I've got a bachelor of arts in sanskrit, the classical Indian language. With a footing in Western culture I appreciate other cultures as well. I just don't want them to live off our prosperity.

So then: Nordic perspectives on Breivik. But first I have to distance myself from Breivik, right? Right. So I say: I condemn mass murder. I'm a peaceful man, preferring to peddle my ideas with peaceful means, like on this and on my Swedish blog. Also, I'm not very much into Lacoste sweaters.

I'm not going to walk the polemical path in this post. At least not primarily. I was just thinking to give you some cultural hints and clues to some Nordic traits that are not always obvious to the outside reader. Then I move on into more general issues, relating to the whole west world.

Also doch. Breivik decided to attack the Norwegian Arbeiderpartiet (AP). That's "The worker's party", a reformist socialist party that has dominated the post-1945 Norwegian political landscape. It's the same in Sweden: Socialdemokraterna it's called here. They're hegemonical, tending to be at the centre of things even if the world changes and socialism gets out of flavour. In Norway AP is the major career way for opportunists. They fully endorse anti-white sentiment, they hate traditional European culture and they want to import muslims to replace the indegenous, Nordic people. Well, every political party in Norway wants to do that except for Fremskrittspartiet (FP), that has a radical rightist agenda, much like the Swedish Sverigedemokraterna (SD). That these radical parties tend to appease the PC snetiment by saying, "we're not racist, we like immigration per se, just not that much of it" is beside the point here. Let's just say that me myself I'm too radical even for SD, even though I voted for them back in 2010. They're the only party pushing an anti-immigration agenda, that's why they have to be supported, formally at least.



2. Song of Norway

Back to Norway. Breivik attacked AP by killing 69 of its members at the summer camp on Utöya Island. And this is tough to say, but: the Utöya massacre was a defeat for AP, a debacle. Since the attack AP spokesmen have talked about the necessity to "take back Utöya". Of course, they don't want to surrender to violence. But I'd say that to take Utöya back is impossible. I mean, what would you say if you were a youth-movement member, being invited for Utöya Summer Camp 2012? It would be uncanny to say the least.

And another option, to make Utöya into a monument as Norwegian author Roy Jacobsen has proposed, freeze it in time and make it into some second class Auschwitz, that wouldn't work either - at least not for the purposes AP would like to herald. It would not be a place of contemplation and rest, a place to gather strength for more multiculturalist ventures. It would only attract the kind of people who likes guided tours of murder sites. Like the Hollywood Helter Skelter tour. Come to Utöya and see where Breivik shot the AP youngsters.... Here he landed, here he gathered them around, here he started shooting...

You get it: uncanny. So like it or not, Breivik has made Utöya into a Toteninsel, an Island of Death.



3. The Regime

Why Breivik? Why Norway? Was the Regime there so uncompromisingly leftist and anti-traditionalist? Maybe it was. Norway and Sweden are pretyy much tied up with multiculturalism. Oslo is like a low-intense battlefield with muslim crime, muslim gangs, muslim men raping Norwegian women. They even said that on Norwegian national TV in July: the 40 cases of assault rapes with a known perpetrator in 2010 were all, 100% effected by non-european immigrants. In Sweden facts like these are still covered up so there's something going on i Norway for sure, making it possible to say it loud on TV. But maybe the lid has been on there for such a long time, the kettle having only now boiled over.

The Norwegian rape-report was presented before 22/7, before Breivik's attacks - interestingly enough. Be that as it may; Breivik's vocabulary of multiculturalism, the Frankfurt School, cultural marxists, mass immigration are at least in Sweden now common fare. And righist views can still be put forth. I mean, after the deed you heard a lot of smear: rightwingers, you're all Breivikare... You don't hear that any longer. Not so often at least. The smear wont stick.



4. Warlike Times

The trial for Breivik will start in April. It will be an open hearing they say. How very democratic and formal. Norway hasn't got any Terrorist Laws (like Sweden and the US) so they must try him in a civil case. Maybe it will be like the Italian case against RAF; there the defendants were, as far as I can remember, held in a cage in an otherwise public courtroom. Germany for its part held more closed proceedings against the Baader-Meinhof Gang in 1977.

Breivik sees himself as a soldier in a war. That war started in 1999 when Nato bombed Serbia, punishing it for wanting to purge its muslim population. From then on the war continued with all-out propaganda and brainwash, enabling mass immigration into the west. Breivik wanted to fight that development and so started his counter-jihad. Thus he would like to be tried in a war court, preferably at the ICC in Haag. But that's not so important; he's prepared for any court proceedings. In his manifesto he has sketched what to say, how to outline his defence. It will be a grand spectacle, The Regime against Anders Breivik. It will be like the trial of Vidkun Quisling, Norway's WWII nazi prime minister. He was tried and shot after the war. Let's see if today's Regime has the guts to shoot Breivik...? But of course they can't as they don't have the death penalty, seeming bent on doing this strictly legalistic.

And in the same vein Breivik and his lawyer has a formal approach, citing extenuating circumstances like "I have confessed to the deeds", "I spared the youngest victims" and so forth. It seems a bit weak to come and say things like that when you're a Commander in the War Against Multiculturalism, but then it's all like a game. The trial itself is like a stage play, and the longer it lasts the better for Breivik to make himself heard and noted, to have that 15 minutes of fame in the public spotlight. Therefore he has mentioned these extenuating circumstances, even though they may seem a bit un-soldierly.




5. Into the Twilight Zone

Personally Breivik is something of a narcissist, wanting to be famous or infamous. Q. v. for example the several photos posted on the internet and the manifesto with its autobiography and autointerview. He's got that Herostratic personality. But he's more than that. He's first and foremost an anarchist, a gate-opener into the far more sinister times we're heading for. We're heading out into Terra Incognita and Breivik is way ahead of us, lighting his way with a little green light, giving that uncanny sheen you get from Night Vision equipment. I mean, we're facing peak oil, depression and ongoing war in the Middle East: Libya was just a first phase, next stop Iran. On top of that we have our PC regimes brainwashing the people, continuing the program of mass immigration, and we have social unrest with incidents like Occupy Wall Street, the London riots and whatnot. Breivik might not know how good his timing was. But his deed surely comes in a more turbulent time that Kascynskis mid-nineties and Baader-Meinhof's mid-to-late seventies. I'm aware that those weren't placid times but they were more placid than our times. That's the main significance of Breivik's deed: they come in the midst of approaching turmoil for the world. 2011 was an uncommon year and 2012 will be even more stormy.

But as for the storm, I'd say, bring it on. I'm not welcoming chaos per se, but I welcome it as an instrument of change. Congenial to me seems the last lines of the first Terminator movie:

- There's a storm coming up.

- I know.

The world is changing and it won't be a picnic. But in the long run, say in some years, I think we will have left materialism and nihilism behind us and moved on into a more spiritual mode. Breivik isn't a spiritual man but he is an anarchist speeding things up, hastening the process of world change. He has intensified the whole debate, the whole agenda, the whole Zeitgeist. I don't endorse mass murder but I also don't sit idle after Utöya, simply condemning it like some absurdity. His deed was sick but so was the context he rebelled against, all this multiculturalism engaging us in a low-intense war.

I've seen the future. It's murder baby. True that. But we have to live on in 2011 and beyond, into that Prophetical Year 2012, and that is best done with a calm outlook and open eyes. To be a man of the right and say, "Breivik was just a zionist Free Mason, case closed", is far too simplistic. Breivik is a complex phenomenon, a Twilight Zone of sane thoughts and sick thoughts interlaced. So even though it's unpopular with every person, rightwingers and leftwingers alike, I'll stay in that Zone and face up to what ogres and treasures, what damselles and enemies there might be to encounter. And I'll meet them with peaceful means as a blogger and author, executing my old German right of free speech. Debate, a free exchange of ideas and points of view, an ability to present and discuss facts, even though they're uncomfortable, that's the road to take.
