Anders Breivik Interviews Himself
In the last chapter of his political manifesto, A Declaration of Independence 2083, Breivik includes an interview with himself under the chapter heading, "Interview with a Justiciar Knight Commander of the PCCTS, Kinghts Templar." What follows is an abridged version of the interview that appeared in the Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende. In portions of the interview that are omitted, Breivik discusses his childhood, which he first calls normal: "I guess I came from a typical Norwegian family.' He then proceeds, however, to attack his father, his stepfather, his mother, and his closest childhood friends. He says his father "is just not very good with people," that his stepfather "spends most of his trime (retirement) with prostitutes in Thailand," that his mother "now has the intellectual capacity of a ten-year old," and invents a story that a former classmate and friend (the son of a Pakistani doctor) was involved in a gang rape. He also described himself as a former member of Oslo's tagging (graffiti artist) community and something of a magnet for girls--although there is little evidence that dating was ever a significant part of his life.
Interview with a Justiciar Knight Commander of the PCCTS, Kinghts Templar
What tipped the scales for you? What particular things pushed you to plan the attack?
For me personally it was our government's involvement [engagement] with/in the attack on Serbia [the NATO bombing in 1999] several years ago. It was completely unacceptable the way the U.S. and Western European regimes bombed our Serbian brothers. There have been many other cases that have strengthened my resolve. Among them, my government's cowardly handling of the Muhammad cartoons, and their decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to an Islamic terrorist [Yasser Arafat]. There have been dozens of other questions. My government and our media capitulated to Islam years ago, after the Rushdie incident. Since then it has snowballed. Thousands of Muslims stream in each year through the asylum, institutions or family connections in Norway.
What would you say to your European brothers and sisters?
Know that you are not alone in this fight. We have tens of millions of European sympathizers and tens of thousands of brothers and sisters who support us fully and are willing to fight beside us. Hopefully I will be able to help and inspire others. Build your network on Facebook. Follow the guidelines in this book and you will succeed!
Name one living person you want to meet.
Pope or Vladimir Putin. Putin seems like a fair and resolute leader worthy of respect. I'm not sure at this point if he has the potential to be our best friend or our worst enemy. He is very difficult to psychoanalyze. I would not want to be his enemy, that's for sure. Obviously, he will have to condemn this [attack]. It's understandable.
If you were to use a word for the ideology or movement that you represent, what would it be?
Cultural conservatism, or a nationalist/conservative orientation known as the Vienna school of thought. As for the political movement, I would describe it as a national resistance movement, an indigenous-rights movement or even a right-revolutionary movement.
Are you optimistic?
I am very optimistic. Cultural Marxism/multiculturalism, especially in combination with Islam, will defeat itself. The justification for this claim is that the cultural Marxist and Islamic alliance will not last. When the window of opportunity comes, we must be ready to seize the political and military control of all funds. When the time comes, we must not hesitate. We must risk everything for the chance to get our freedom and secure freedom for our relatives again. I have prepared myself mentally for a very long time, and I would like to sacrifice my life for the benefit of my European brothers and sisters.
You said you have pure genealogy?
I am very proud of my Viking heritage. My name, Breivik, is a place name from Northern Norway, dating back to before the Viking era. Behring is a pre-Christian Germanic name derived from Behr, the Germanic word for bear (or "those who are protected by the bear").
I suppose you wanted to tell your friends about this. Has it been difficult to live a "double life"?
First it was extremely difficult to avoid the temptation to tell your closest friends. I decided, however, to retain all relevant information. Revealing sensitive information to any of them would put them in a difficult spot, because they would be required by law to report this information to the authorities. It would also pose a serious threat to me if they decided to tell anyone.
What motivates you? How have you managed to stay focused and motivated for more than eight years? Is it bitterness and hatred against the so-called "cultural Marxist/the multiculturalism wonderful elites," or maybe toward Islam?
No, not at all. If they [the cultural Marxists], against all odds, gave up on multiculturalism tomorrow, if they stopped all Muslim immigration and started the deportation of all Muslims, I would forgive them for their past crimes. If they refuse to surrender until 2020, there will be no turning back. We will eventually wipe out every single one of them. I do not hate Muslims at all. I acknowledge that there are magnificent Muslim individuals in Europe. In fact, I have had several Muslim friends over the years, some who I still respect. This does not mean that I will accept an Islamic presence in Europe. Muslim individuals who are not assimilated 100% by 2020 will be deported as soon as we manage to seize power. Although I admit that I am sick of the current development, I would say I'm driven by my love for Europe, European culture and Europeans. This does not mean I'm against diversity. But valuing diversity does not mean you support the genocide of your own culture and people.
How did you first involved in your current activities?
When I was around 16-17 years old, I joined the Progressive Party's youth organization [FPU], which was anti-immigration and pro–free market. Every journalist in the country considered the party's members to be racist because of their anti-immigration platform. The Progress Party was under constant attack from every media organization, from NGOs and all other political parties. They were called racists and Nazis and were generally labeled "fascist pigs." The Progress Party appealed to me because I had seen the hypocrisy in society, and I knew even then that they were the only party that opposed multiculturalism.
Around 2000, I realized that the democratic struggle against the Islamization of Europe, and European multiculturalism, was lost. It is simply not possible to compete with democratic regimes that import millions of voters. Forty years of dialogue with the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists had ended up as a disaster. It would now only take 50 to 70 years before we, Europeans, were the minority. So I decided to explore alternative forms of opposition. But the biggest problem then was that there were no options for me at all. There was no known armed culturally conservative, or Christian, anti-jihad movement.
