What an idiot this man is, send him to The North Pole...

Nazi newsreels released

Hitler and Quisling

Newsreel films from occupied Norway will be released on the Internet this month.

Most of the films were made on assignment from the National Socialist authorities for propaganda purposes. Quisling's role in the German occupation is toned down in the series, and he appears far less often than other members of the occupation government.

Quisling, after Norwegian fascist politician Vidkun Quisling, is a term used to describe traitors and collaborationists. It was most commonly used for fascist political parties and military and paramilitary forces in occupied Allied countries which collaborated with Axis occupiers in World War II Europe, as well as for their members and other collaborators.
That Quisling's name should be applied to denote the whole phenomenon of collaborationism is probably due to the place of Norway on the list of countries occupied by the Third Reich.

Nazi groups quiet

The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) considers the threat posed by neo-Nazi groups to be at the lowest level for some time, but concerns remain.

Neo-Nazi circles are less organized and have fewer members than before according to this year's PST assessment.
That's good news, I hope they disappear for good....

National anthem in Nazi propaganda?

Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs promises action after a group of neo-Nazis have used Norway's national anthem, "Ja Vi Elsker", in a propaganda video.
The video has been placed on the popular web site YouTube and shows images of various European cities combined with Nazi symbolism.
A neo-Nazi group calling themselves Nordreich are behind the video.
This is an unacceptable way of using the national anthem.
You can see the video here.

Not "real" neo-Nazis

Nordreich is in fact a virtual community linked to an online role-playing game, and their "Head of State" says they are not really neo-Nazis.

The leader of Nordreich, one "Magnus Nordir, Head of State of the Folksish Reich of Vinland", ridiculed Norway's Foreign Ministry and press in a statement Wednesday for misinformed efforts to curtail free speech in connection with a game.

"Our 'group' is based in a popular online nation simulator/Role playing game called Cyber Nations; located at http://www.cybernations.net The game consists of tens of thousands of players, of which participate in several player created alliances of all different types of affiliations, be they conservative, communist, nationalist, libertarian, or "far right"," Nordir wrote in a forum at Cyber Nations, aiming his statement at the government and press of Norway.

Erik Johannessen, an active Cyber Nations player from a different alliance, said that Nordreich is not at all likely to be a neo-Nazi group, but that there were Nazi elements there who used the platform to recruit to extreme right-wing organizations.

Neo-nazi clothing 'abuses' Norway's flag

The Norwegian flag

Norwegian authorities are trying to stop the improper use of the Norwegian flag by a German clothing company that caters to neo-Nazis.
The clothing line is called "Thor Steinar," and it features the Norwegian flag, runic lettering and Norwegian names. The clothing is popular within neo-Nazi circles, and opponents say that's because Norwegian symbols are viewed as being "Aryan and Germanic."

Holocaust

A growing number of young Norwegians doubt the truth of the Holocaust after a website has begun translating neo-Nazi propaganda.
Vigrid(Norwegian neo-Nazi group) and their leader Tore W. Tvedt try to convince readers that the killing of millions of Jews by the Germans during the second world war is a bluff, and the presentation of arguments in Norwegian is something new.
The Mosaic Religious Community is concerned about the development.
My recommendation: Send them to Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland to see the truth.

The Norwegian Royals guarded by an extremist
