The pseudonymous right-wing, anti-Islamic blogger "Fjordman," who was cited frequently and deeply admired by terrorist mass murderer Anders Brievik, has revealed his identity. Peder Jensen, 36, has professed deep disgust at Brievik's acts. He will no longer use the "Fjordman" pseudonym. He will go into hiding.
Anders Brievik's mother has also absconded; his father, who lives in France, has claimed that he may never return to his native Norway.
In other Norwegian news, a 17 year old Norwegian boy was recent killed by a polar bear on a remote island. This sad story reminds me of the premise of the recent horror film, "Troll Hunter:" A spate of supposed bear attacks in rural Norway turn out to be the work of not-mythological-after-all trolls. The Norwegian government is aware of their existence but, as in the Xfiles and such, covers it up. At least, this is how this movie has been described to me: I haven't seen it yet. I intended to, while it was still playing in Seattle theatres, but then I got distracted by the real monster in Norway.
