Immediately the pictures of the Oslo, Norway bombing bring
back memories of the Oklahoma City bombing.

It is important in any investigation to ascertain the facts before a narrative is woven.  This is a taste of what is being reported in the mainstream media:


New York Times


"Norwegian police on Saturday charged a man they identify as a right-wing fundamentalist Christian." 


"...a gun loving Norwegian obsessed with what he saw as the threat of multiculturalism and Muslim immigration."


"Facebook page and Twitter account set up under that name [Anders Behring Breivik] days before the rampage, suggesting a conscious effort to create a public persona."


"...a remarkably meticulous attack on Norway's current and future political elite."


"...at least 85 people, some as young as 16, were killed in an attack on a summer camp..."


"...'slaughter of young children.'"


"...many from political families..."


"...the gunman calmly and methodically shot..."


"...attacker wore a police uniform..."


"...camp has been an important rite of passage for the country's budding young liberals."


"...saw a second man, about 5-foot-11, with dark hair, holding a pistol and carrying a rifle..."


"police official, Roger Andresen..."he is right-wing and a Christian fundamentalist."


"...soldiers cordoned off the square where the bombing occcured...armed soldiers in camoflauge gear was a jarring sight."

“…questions about whether the Norwegian security services and police, which had been concentrating on threats of Islamic terrorism, missed the threat from the anti-Islamic right.”

"This is the Norwegian equivalent to Timothy McVeigh."

“’This is right-wing domestic terrorism, and the big question is to what extent Norwegian agencies have diverted their attention from what they knew decades ago was the biggest threat’ and instead focused on threats from militant Islamist groups.”


"...writings on a right-wing site, Document.no, revealed...an abiding obsesion with Marxists, Mulsims, and Norway's multicultural ideals."


“'It may make a lot of people reflect on the challenges of integration and ensuring tolerance and antiracism, so that these views can be openly rejected by everyone in Norway,' Mr. Ulrichsen [reasercher at London School of Economics] said."


BBC


"...possible another person was involved."


"suspect reported by local media to have had links to right wing extremists"


"...Norway has had problems with neo-Nazi groups in the past..."


"farm supply firm has confirmed selling six tonnes of fertilizer to Breivik."


"...tall blonde man dressed as a policeman opened fire indiscriminately..."


"...two weapons, one of them an automatic rifle."


This is what has not been reported (at least when it comes to mainstream media):


"Oslo Police Conducted Bombing Exercise Days Before Terror Blast"


DHS video framing white right-wing extremists ranked 6th biggest story in the world according to Alexa.com day before Oslo attacks.


Mr. Brievik may have been a practicing Free Mason?  At least according to his days old Facebook page he was.  


There is a massive body of evidence that government, through covert intelligence agencies, quasi-government bodies, and interested societies, have attempted to manipulate public opinion through terrorist attacks.  This has been well documented for decades.  The fact that mainstream media won't add this into their coverage should concern all of us.  


I'm sure those of you who are unaware or outright disagree with me on these facts are thinking "conspiracy theorist", but the "lone gunman" scenario currently being proffered is not copacetic with the last 50 years of geopolitical history.  Moreover, the temporal and physical proximity of this event to the current tumult being felt in Europe and throughout the world should invoke high suspicion from the fourth estate yet it has received little if no attention.  Europe and the United States are being turned upside down economically and this event is being treated as if it occurred in a vacuum.  


I am not submitting this event is an example of a false-flag, however, to immediately treat it prima facie as what it seems without allowing historical precedents to supply us with prudent questions and alternative scenarios is negligent.  Evidence is scant so far to support anything, however, there is a glaring dearth of focus on the political ramifications of this attack.  This is my point.  We live in an age of hyper-politics where one act changes everything, we have a right to be suspicious.


A great book on the history of false-flag and state-sponsored terror (and their drug connections) plus a whole lot of blowback:

Peter Dale Scott outlines a fascinating history
of covert operations and exposes the deep powers
and financial interests involved.
There are two states in this world, the one we know about
and learn in civics class and the deep state few of
us care to admit is there.

Memo suggests FBI had mole inside ABC News in the 1990s

A once-classified FBI memo reveals that the bureau treated a senior ABC News journalist as a potential confidential informant in the 1990s, pumping the reporter to ascertain the source of a sensational but uncorroborated tip that the network had obtained during its early coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing.

The journalist, whose name is not disclosed in the document labeled “secret,” not only cooperated but provided the identity of a confidential source, according to the FBI memo — a possible breach of journalistic ethics if he or she did not have the source’s permission.

The ABC employee was even assigned a number in the FBI’s informant database, indicating he or she was still being vetted for suitability as a snitch after providing “highly accurate and reliable information in the past” and then revealing information the network had obtained in the hours just after the 1995 terrorist attack by Timothy McVeigh.

The journalist “advised that a source within the Saudi Arabian Intelligence Service advised that the Oklahoma City bombing was sponsored by the Iraqi Special Services who contracted seven (7) former Afghani Freedom Fighters out of Pakistan,” an April 17, 1996 FBI memo states, recounting the then-ABC journalist’s interview with FBI agents a year earlier on the evening of the April 19, 1995 bombing. (The Iraqi connection, of course, never materialized.)

The memo recounts multiple contacts between the FBI and the journalist over a one-year period in 1995-96 but does not name the network insider, instead using the informant number NY290000-SI-DT and a simple description as “a senior official employed by ABC News for over 15 years.”

ABC News told the Center for Public Integrity that it is not certain about the identity of the journalist involved in the 1995-96 episode, but does not believe he or she still works for the network. Spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said the FBI description of its interactions with the reporter raises serious concerns about intrusions on the First Amendment.

“If true, it would certainly be of grave concern to us that the FBI would have created an informant file based on information gleaned from a reporter,” Schneider said. “It certainly would be very troubling for the FBI to recruit a news employee as a confidential source.”

“It can create a perception of collusion between the government and the news organization. It would put journalists everywhere at risk if people believed that journalists are acting as government agents. And it could raise the specter of the government trying to spy on a news organization,” he added.
