Norway shooter wears Obama's uniform in court

Merkel has described as a national disgrace the existence of a cell, called the National Socialist Underground, whose members are now suspected of killing between 2000 and 2007 at least nine immigrants, eight Turks and a Greek, and a police woman.

The cell only came to light by chance, raising fears the security services have underplayed the threat from the extreme right and may have been distracted by its use of unreliable informants from the right-wing scene.

Norway gunman in first open court appearance - "wearing a dark suit, white shirt and light blue tie and sporting a narrow beard" ... A ban on publishing pictures or video of the confessed killer however remained in effect.

Breivik's new fashion statement is not likely a result of the French brand Lacoste's complaint about him wearing their clothes, although in his fantasy of himself he did declare that clothing: "makes it possible to act as an educated European of the conservative character".

To "act" sounds suspiciously like language an "intelligence" operative might inadvertently use.

Anyway, his reasoning was that he only chose the Lacoste brand name because the vast cabal behind him had turned down his request to wear a uniform while acting on its behalf. Sounds like he meant a military uniform. Was he hinting his handlers were military or paramilitary?

Clothes Make the "Axis"

It appears that, for court purposes at least, Breivik has found his uniform in the universal garb of the political "elite", which reeks of nothing if not conservativism, regardless of what some of its members, Obama included, claimed while campaigning for election.

Another slip of the garb? Were his handlers military and their bosses the suits?

(Note that conservative outsiders like Ahmadinejad don't wear the uniform. The South Korean president wears it, but the North Korean president does not. Saddam showed up for his "necktie party" not wearing one. And Gadhafi made the fatal mistake of not wearing one when schmoozing with Obama who was dressed exactly like Breivik, even wearing the light blue tie. So was George W. Bush when he stood proudly on the CIA logo.)

It's karmically ironic that various brand names, eager to attract spending by status wannabes everywhere, become dismayed when their stock plumments (see side panel) precisely because their products are seen being used by the very people to whom they were aggressively, psychologically marketed.

Even more fascinating is that photos of Breivik wearing Lacoste sweaters prior to the massacre and during his arrest proceedings (where he had gained considerable weight that changed the shape of his face, and had lost considerable hair), were proudly bandied about by the media, but now that he is wearing a dark suit with a tie, photos and videos of him are verboten.

Is this an effort to avoid tainting the conservative uniform, or is it because Breivik is a walking false flag who will need to be unrecognizable once this whole thing fades into the past and a cover story aids his release once more into the wild?

Was it his job to spur into growth and action bloodthirsty Islamophobic groups and bloggers everywhere, the better to terrorize and reduce populations of Muslims?  So far it doesn't seem to be happening, though they are probably heavily infiltrated by "intelligence".  Maybe they don't like the uniform?

Or perhaps this is the explanation: "Given the variety of culturally acceptable, officially approved outlets for venting violent anti-Muslim resentment, there is little reason for any American to follow in Breivik's path of infamy."  Or any resident of a NATO country, I would add.
