4.4.14: The Winter Soldier, Jinn, and Fort Hood?

Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens on April 4, 2014. Remember what happened when the initial Captain America first was released?

The day of neo-Nazi Anders Behring Breivik's massacre in Norway (July 22, 2011) was the day of the release of the film Captain America (July 22, 2011), with the film's first scene taking place in Norway, to the sound of Nazis' rapid fire machine gunning. A bizarre coincidence, to say the least.

All this lead me to ask on July 19, 2012, "What will happen on July 20, 2012?," with that year's upcoming Friday release of The Dark Knight Rises.

We know, now, don't we? The Aurora theater shooting. 

Predictions are only helpful if people take precautions. A journalist wrote a Dangerous Minds article later, entitled: "The Copycat Effect: Meet The Man Who Predicted The Aurora Shooting." Nothing has really changed, as far as we can tell.

Certainly, we are in different times here in 2014 than we were in 2012. Newtown/Sandy Hook has taken place. The Boston Marathon bombing occurred. Mass shootings are part of the landscape too frequently. The Fort Hood shooting on April 2, 2014 may have already released the jinn from the bottle. Soldiers. Mass Shootings. Fort Hood & the Bell Name Game. BTW, the film Jinn is being released on 4.4.14, too. The purpose of the movie Jinn is to "introduce the accurate mythological concept of the jinn to western audiences."

Something is already in the air. 

Should we expect mass violence this weekend, regarding soldiers, jinn, and shooting sprees? Let's hope not.

Nevertheless, we are heading into April, which has been the month of Copycat Effects. Waco (April 19, 1993), OKBomb (April 19, 1995), Columbine (April 20, 1999), VA Tech (April 16, 2007), Boston Marathon bombings (April 15, 2013) and so many major and minor copycats are tied to this terrible month of violence.

April is the cruellest month...

Ozymandias vs Winter Soldier

In antiquity, Ozymandias was an alternative name for the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II.

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ozymandias, January 11, 1818

Breivik Copycat Arrested

A 29-year-old copycat of Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, who wanted to carry out a similar attack, has been arrested in the Czech Republic.

Police announced on Saturday, August 18, 2012, that they detained the unidentified man on August 10th in Ostrava, Czech Republic. 

Authorities were alerted to his plan because he used the name Breivik in e-mail correspondences. Law enforcement official searched the man's apartment and discovered an assault rifle, ammunition, explosives and police uniforms. The man's plot involved the denotation of "a large explosive device crafted from an aircraft bomb and was in possession of a remote control detonator when he was arrested," reported the BBC and other media outlets.

The history of Ostrava is intriguing as being an important location on the prehistoric trading route for the transfer of fossilized tree resin (made famous in Jurassic Park) called the Amber Road. Also, please pay attention synchromystic researchers, the Greek name for amber was ἤλεκτρον (elektron), "formed by the sun," and it was connected to the sun god (Helios).

In 1763, sizable deposits of black coal (from the Old English term col, which has meant "mineral of fossilized carbon" since the 13th century) were discovered, leading to an industrial boom and a flood of new immigrants in the following centuries. During the 19th century, several mine towers were built in and around the city and the first steel works were established at Vítkovice, acquired by Salomon Mayer von Rothschild in 1843. Industrial growth was made possible by the completion of Kaiser-Ferdinands-Nordbahn from Vienna in 1847.

Anders Behring Breivik is on trial for killing 77 people -- eight in the bombing at a government building in Oslo, Norway, and 69 others on nearby Utoya Island -- July, 22, 2011. (This was same day that the film Captain America was released in the USA, with a scene of an attack of Nazis in Norway; see more on "Predicting Aurora" here.)

Breivik has admitted to the bombing and machine gunning down of mostly teenagers at the annual summer youth camp of the governing Labor Party. Breivik's war against multiculturalism and, what he termed, "the Muslim invasion of Europe" has been spelled out in his manifesto, entitled “2083 – A European Declaration of Independence.”

Last August 2011, the Anders Behring Breivik story involved new reports that he had cosmetic surgery to look more Aryan. Breivik could not have had his blond hair, blue eyes and chiseled features naturally, according to Janne Kristiansen, head of the Norwegian Police Security Service, that country's version of our FBI, who told that to The Sunday Times of London.

"You do not have that Aryan look naturally in Norway," Kristiansen said. "[Adolf] Hitler would have had him on posters. He has the perfect, classic Aryan face. He must have had a facelift."
The same day as Kristiansen's insights, the London Sunday Telegraph quoted a former classmate of Breivik as saying Breivik, boasted in the late 1990s, that he had plastic surgery to look more Aryan.
"I remember we were at a party, and he told me he had had his nose and chin operated on by a plastic surgeon in America," the unidentified school buddy said to the media about this new strange twist.

What is bizarre about all of this is that Norwegians are viewed as rather Aryan.

Why was Kristiansen saying such things? Indeed, she (shown above) looks Aryan. Was her statements in 2011 disinformation?

Wikipedia picks up the next part of the story of Kristiansen by noting she was forced out in 2012:

Janne Kristiansen resigned as PST leader on 18 January 2012 following an open hearing of the parliament's 22 July Committee that same day where she had been summoned to answer questions about Norwegian security and intelligence work. This unfolded after she had answered a direct question from Member of Parliament Akhtar Chaudhry (Socialist Left Party) during the parliament's (Storting) questioning of her. The question was whether Norway has cooperation with Pakistan in the intelligence arena, and Kristiansen's reply was interpreted as a confirmation that the Norwegian Intelligence Service (military intelligence) had in fact a presence in that country. Both the two major news agencies in Norway, however, have written that representatives from the Norwegian Armed Forces have confirmed the presence of the Intelligence Service abroad on a number of previous occasions. This would make it uncertain whether confidential information was revealed during the hearing. In March 2012 police investigations of Kristiansen were dropped by the Bureau for the Investigation of Police Affairs.

In the wake of Breivik's July 22, 2011, attack, at least one other copycat arrest has surfaced, according to UPI:

A reputed member of the English Defense League could be charged with making online threats of an "Oslo-style" bombing aimed at Muslims, police said.
Police in South Shields did not release the name of the man arrested Saturday [April 21, 2012], The Journal of Newcastle reported. But he was identified online Monday [April 23, 2012] as Kenny Holden, 29, of South Shields.
The threat was made on Facebook pages linked to the EDL, investigators said. Holden allegedly said he would carry out the "Oslo-style" attack in South Shields.
