Eskil Pedersen, 7 Others, Fled Utoya on Ferry Leaving the Rest to Face Death

This is the extremist responsible for radicalizing the youth on Utoya with the Marxist doctrines of democratic socialism, doctrines which include virulent anti-Semitism. The day on the island before the attacks had been devoted to a Boycott Israel rally. Note Pedersen's defense of himself in fleeing the island where Breivik was busy picking off the kids one by one, a defense which is itself characteristic of a radicalized mind: "I thought the entire country was under attack."

From the Wikipedia entry here:


On 22 July, the day of the 2011 Norway attacks, Eskil Pedersen was present at the annual AUF summer camp on Utøya. As the leader of the organization, he was one of the assailant's stated targets along with the Labour Party politician Gro Harlem Brundtland, who was scheduled to be there that day but left the island before he arrived. Breivik would later state that he had studied Pedersen's physical appearance and facial attributes to be able to recognize him during the attack.

Very soon after the shooting erupted, Pedersen along with his political aide sought refuge on the ferry MS Thorbjørn, and along with seven other people decided to make their escape from the island. Pedersen later stated that while being at the Hønefoss police headquarters he feared a coup d'etat had taken place, and could not trust any member of the police. In an interview with TV2 he states: "I thought the entire country was under attack [..] if we docked anywhere we would be killed."

There has been widespread speculation in forums and independent blogs about the conduct on the ferry, but most professional media outlets initially refused to participate in the criticism. News website Nettavisen published a story raising questions a day after the massacre, but dropped the case shortly after claiming huge pressure from "central Labour Party politicians", as well as the AUF.

More recently, one prominent survivor who himself was wounded has publicly questioned why the ferry chose to depart, saying that i[t] was "unbelievable" adding that they felt "helpless and abandoned" after watching it disappear. The survivor, 22-year old Adrian Pracon from Telemark later published a book detailing his ordeal, which AUF attempted unsuccessfully to block, drawing criticism. Another survivor, 20-year old Bjørn Ihler from Oslo said of Pedersen: "This was the leader of the group, it was as if the Captain abandons ship". Pedersen later defended himself in an interview with BBC saying: "I think I acted normally given the situation. I acted according to instinct. I did what I was told and boarded the boat".

Jah, just following orders. Like a Quisling.

The country's preoccupation with and hatred for Israel demonstrate that it is a fertile environment for insanity which now grows from the seedbed of revolutionary socialism instead of the national socialism of Adolf Hitler and his many sympathizers in Norway.
