“…In his cell the real Breivik has fed on this ideal type Breivik» (Emberland 2015). Lignende tanker har Mattias Gardell gjort seg, både etter å ha intervjuet Aryan Nations-medlemmer i amerikanske fengsler (Gardell 2003), for ved gjenbesøk har han opplevd å få sin framstilling av deres ideologi reprodusert, og etter å ha vaert sakkyndig i Breivik-saken (personlige meddelelser).…”

Critical events in the life trajectories of domestic extremist white supremacist groups

“…political groups seek to overthrow the government (Berlet and Vysotsky, 2006) and they spread their message by distributing literature and organizing rallies (Berbrier, 2000;Blazak, 2001;Futrell, Simi, and Gottschalk, 2006). We chose the National alliance to represent the political category because it was the leading neo-Nazi organization in the 1990s and it has existed for more than three decades (Gardell, 2003;Michael, 2003b). The group seeks to replace the government with a national socialist regime.…”

“…The group seeks to replace the government with a national socialist regime. although William pierce, the group's founder, emphasized spirituality through his creation of cosmotheism, belief in it was not required (Gardell, 2003). The National alliance stresses aryan superiority from an evolutionary standpoint.…”

“…During this aWc, Robert Jay Mathews formed a group called "The Order" (also known as Brüders Schweigen-Silent Brotherhood) that consisted of members of the aryan Nations and National alliance (Flynn and Gerhardt, 1990;Hamm, 2007a;Martinez and Gunthier, 1999). Mathews formed the group to foment a revolution and obtain funds for various racist organizations (Balch, 2006;Gardell, 2003;Ridgeway, 1995). Government documents suggest that Mathews was encouraged to form The Order by Butler, as well as by the leading racists louis Beam, Robert Miles, and Jim ellison (Smith, personal communication, July 2008).…”

“…Då polis och säkerhetstjänst inte längre kunde betraktas som allierade vore det riskabelt för vita rasister att enbart organisera sig i traditionella, medlemsbaserade rörelser som kunde övervakas och infiltreras. Motståndet skulle i stället byggas på en bodelning mellan en öppen gren av politiker, propagandacentrum och ideologer som skulle hålla sig inom lagens ramar och en underjordisk gren av väpnade celler och enskilda mördare (lone wolf assassins) som själva ansvarade för att finansiera, planera och genomföra operationer, utan order uppifrån (Gardell 2003;Beam 1992). I Förenta staterna kom strategiskiftet till uttryck i en rad ariska gerillagrupper, rasistiska seriemördare och bombattentat, däribland bomben mot det federala kontorskomplexet i Oklahoma City 1995, som Breivik ser som exemplarisk.…”
