Koch-Funded Tea Party Heavyweight Tim Phillips Spoke at Norweigan Killer's Political Party Event

[proud2BlibKansan]

Anders Behring Breivik, detained in the deadly Oslo bombing and shooting that has left 92 dead, has links to Norway's anti-government political group the Progress Party, according to the LA Times:

On social media forums, he claimed to be a disgruntled former member of Norway's anti-tax, small-government Progress Party, according to the Norwegian Nettavisen news service. His postings reflected strong anti-Islamic views and a deep skepticism about the mixing of different international cultures.

As if turns out, Tim Phillips, President of the Tea Party group Americans for Prosperity, spoke at a Progress Party event in 2010. According to an article published in the Norweigen paper Aftenposten on April 24th, 2010:

Phillips was invited by the Progress Party leadership to talk about grassroots organizing. But he talked mostly about how his organization is fighting for a weaker central government and lower taxes, to health reform and climate change.

Moreover, he spoke regularly Democrats in the U.S. as the "left side".

1. I'm going to be reading all day, and I bet this will be the least surprising thing I come across.

5. I wish they would start showing his present-day photo with the Freemason's

apron on instead of the "I'm Julian Assange's cousin" one...No, he isn't but I think they look alike.

7. wow. that confirms one of my suspicions about the rise of this type of right-wing in europe.

i think something can be learned by comparing the situation now with the world-wide political terror campaigns of the 70s. operation condor & similar things in europe. it has become more clear over time that they were related & connected to military/intelligence.

14. Agree with you -- and we should certainly be thinking more along those lines....

more often --

Operation Gladio --

Overall -- the estimate I've heard is this is something like a few hundred wealthy

families --

The only way the rw can rise is by violence -- stolen elections -- and the wealth to

pay for those events!!



-- of course, Goebbels' style press -- proapganda of lies --

But that also requires them to own and control all media -- any iota of truth is a

threat to their house of cards -- their Hollywood soundstage backdrop --!!

[demgrrrll]

9. That is very interesting information.

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Isn't it though?

[defendandprotect]

11. Koch Bros. wealth strikes again --

16. Rachel has had Tim Phillips on.

He was an asshole, as one might guess.

[Enthusiast]

17. When we say the far right

of the U.S. is FASCIST we are not just saying that because we want to feel air blowing past our lips.

The U.S. is in grave danger from the fascists, RIGHT NOW, not in the distant future.

18. Larry Pratt .... Buchanan's running mate, preached to Timothy McViegh at Waco

Larry Pratt is a "Christian Identity" preacher (google that because you REALLY don't know what it is) and he gave a stirring sermon at Waco concerning Ruby Ridge. McViegh was in the front row.

BTW, Sara Palin was VERY active in Buchanan's presidential bid having been attracted to the campaign through his vice presidential candidate Larry Pratt.

21. Not in the least surprising. Hope this gets more media coverage. n/t
