Confused motives?: An anti-jihadist jihad by a freemason in Norway? Something is not right with this story, and there are obviously some key facts about Breivik missing in the press reports. Obviously, a true “Christian” would not have done this! And who were the accomplices that helped him? (The likelihood of it being a truly solo endeavor is slim.) Just like the never-located John Doe #2 from the Oklahoma City bombing, I suspect that only the approved story will ever be publicized. Oh, and BTW, the liberal pundits (who wasted no time to dance in the blood) falsely claimed that firearms are the “weapons of choice” for terrorists. They aren’t. Bombs are. In fact, statistics show that on average, bombs and flame weapons are much more efficient at quickly killing lots of people, than guns. This has been the case time and time again in the modern era, dating back to 1927. The incident in Norway was unusual, in that the terrorist used both a bomb and then guns, but by choosing unarmed victims that were isolated on an island, bullets accounted for more lives than did his bomb. And the plot thickens: An altered Facebook page?
