More On Mass Murderer Breivik, A Freemason

norwayNorwegian Anders Bering Breivik has been arrested for the mass murder of 92 people in two separate incidents.

The first incident was a bomb that exploded in Oslo’s central government district. Reportedly aimed at Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoitenberg, the blast killed seven people. It is alleged that hours after the first attack Breivik, dressed as a police officer, entered a youth camp on Utoya Island firing an automatic weapon. When the smoke cleared 85 more were dead.

Breivik was not only a Freemason but also a Nazi and a very Conservative Christian.  He posted this John Stuart Mill quote on his Twitter account.

“One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests.”

Breivik was said to be a member of “The Seedish Nazi Forum” and “Nordisk” a political terrorist group.

His Christianity that moved far to the right led him to say this:

“Today’s Protestant Church is a joke. Priests in jeans who march for Palestine and churches that look like minimalist shopping centers. I am a supporter of an indirect collective conversion of he Protestant Church back to the Catholic.”

Obviously a brain washed, ideological zealot who is sick. This terrible tragedy comes on the heals of the UK Masonic scandal of Jonathan Rees, an informant for Murdoch’s News of the World.” It looks as if Freemasonry is in for a hard time in the UK.

All of us who are part of Freemason Information ~ Masonic Traveler are shocked that anyone would so distort Freemasonry’s message for such nefarious purposes and our hearts and prayers go out to all the families who have lost loved ones. This is not Freemasonry and we will not condone the hijacking of our Fraternity for evil.

  1. a) It is impossible to be a Freemason and a Nazi simultaneously. He may have weaseled himself into a Lodge, but he was not a mason. Shame on them for not screening him properly, and for not ejecting him.

    b) He did not distort Freemasonry’s message. There is NOTHING of Freemasonry’s message AT ALL in any of his actions.

  2. People stop calling Breivik a Freemason and a Christian. These are labels he gave himself. He may have infiltrated a Lodge but he wasn’t a Mason. We all know it. It is impossible to be a Freemason and be a Nazi or anti-Islamic, by definition. If you are either a Nazi or anti-Islamic, you are not a Freemason. Thousands of Freemasons murdered by Nazis in WWII and all of our Islamic brothers who enjoy the harmony of the Lodge are a testament to this fact. I would also like to know how this “Lodge” in Oslo admitted this person and how he was allowed to stay. They should come clean on this.

  3. Well, he IS a mason, whether you want to deny it or not!

    “…and we will not condone the hijacking of our Fraternity for evil.” FAR TOO LATE – it’s already been hijacked, whether you “condone” it or not!

  4. The fact of his membership in The Craft is important in several ways:

    1. It will provide fuel for those who fear Freemasonry, but then, so will a cloudy day.
    2. It suggests that we are coming from survival in our screening of applicants. by this I mean that we are so scared by falling numbers that we aren’t being selective enough.
    3. If we are indeed a brotherhood, what one of our brothers does isn’t totally apart from ourselves. To paraphrase John Donne, no Freemason is an island unto himself.
    4. It begs the question of whether or not our lodges are teaching anything at all, or are we just doing business as usual. Most stated communications are REALLY dull, and to avoid controversy (see “coming from survival,” above) we don’t try to convey any ethical principles in our meetings. The lodge that actually has a teaching component is rare.
    4a. I have found that when a question of education is raised in my lodge, everyone eagerly jumps on board. We should more universally look at that.

    In conclusion, I suggest that this monster’s membership in Our Craft points to many problems of our making and not of our making, but which must be faced and dealt with.

  5. I agree with the above comment.

    The masonic order was hijacked centuries ago.
    Breivik IS a mason whether you condone it or not.

    You guys should know this since you are “lending brothers helping hands”.
    You are swearing oaths with the peanalty of death to do exactly that.
    You also swear to keep the secrets of the order.

    Whose interests are you serving through the order? ´
    Do you KNOW that Breivik was not acting under orders from his Grand Master?
    You dont know that, do you? You might find it unlikely but you do not KNOW it.

    I dont trust the order due to its sinister secrecy, that is why I quit.
    you should also quit this charade, the gain is monetary, the price is blood on your hands, and maybe you will be called upon to carry out the will of the order, as Breivik was.

    You should gather critical knowledge about the masonic order, then you loose the will to stay, and you will dare to leave. As a result you dont have to keep silent ablout the corruption that takes place within the orders.

  6. Okay, maybe I missed something here while researching this, but I have a question for everybody: Has any recognized Grand Lodge verified his Masonic membership? Before we start plastering the idea that this nut job was a Freemason around the internet we need to do that. The only source that I can find is that his facebook page says so and there is an obviously photo-shopped picture of him in Masonic regalia–that is not proof but is more like a sinister plot by him or somebody to associate such a heartless villain with the fraternity. Please point me to the hard evidence if it exists.

  7. Freemasonry has been exploited and it has acquired a bad
    reputation because of decline in the moral principles.

  8. I already posted this on facebook but I will say again, you can pass the bar but if you don’t practice law, you are not a lawyer. You can go to church every Sunday, but that doesn’t make you a Christian. He may have paid dues but that doesn’t make him a Mason.

  9. I am surprised that so far nobody mentions the fact that on the picture of Andrew Breivik the three points on his apron are upside down. I do not believe this is normal. I never saw a masonic apron like that.
    So my question is: “Is he realy a freemason or is this picture a fake?”

  10. He was definitely no nazi, read his “manifesto” – he wants to fight islam “together with his jewish brothers” etc. He was a zionist and proud of it.

  11. His membership has been acknowledged by the Grand Lodge of Norway, with whom most mainstream North American GLs are in amity. He was expelled over the weekend by Grand Master Ivar A. Skaar, and the information is on their official website. As I understand it, the regalia in which he is pictured is the GL of Norway’s proper apron and symbols for a Master Mason.

    Sometimes less than truthful men join the fraternity, and we are susceptible to mortal failings.

  12. Mortal failings? How come then that one of the original members of the National Front Edgar Griffin & father of Nick Griffin Chairman of the BNP has been a Free Mason of the Welshpool Lodge for over 30 years?

  13. I’ve heard that he only attended lodge three times. Really now, how stupid do they think everyone is? There is no One day class in the Swedish system and he was Raised. Odds are he was a regular attending member of his lodge.

    His right wing views where all over the place. By all accounts he was very upfront about it. Chances are at least some of his lodge Brethren knew about them. Why did they do nothing? My guess they agreed.

    Let’s face it, plenty of right wing racists are in American lodges, why not in Norway?
