...few of us have a vivid mental image of what hap - pened on that day. Breivik's war is against political correctness, which - in common with the alt-right marchers in Charlottesville, and one-time ...Trump adviser Rich Higgins - he identifies as "cultural Marxism". Greengrass, whose work is eagerly sought by major studios, told me he chose to make this film for Netflix in order to get its message to the widest and youngest possible audience, on many different platforms at once.
ON THE FIRST day of his trial, Anders Breivik admitted to planting a bomb that killed eight people outside the Norwegian prime minister's office in Oslo on July 22, 2011, then shooting dead sixtynine ...people, most of them teenagers, hours later at a summer camp on Utoya Island. For the moment, the use of neuroscience in criminal law is limited to the functions of establishing guilt and supporting claims of mitigating circumstances.

After Anders Breivik killed 77 people in Norway on July 22, analysts pinned responsibility on everything from liberal attitudes towards extremists to anti-Muslim bigotry. This is a common reaction ...after seemingly inexplicable mass murders. Here, Puckett elaborates that home-grown killers have a distinct psychology that sets them apart from the others. Accordingly, they were highly intelligent but shared a profound inability to forge meaningful relationships.
... as Christian orthodoxy tells us, we are all sinners. ... countless numbers of religion experts have observed that proof-texting the Bible and using faith to rationalize one's favorite political ...and cultural views is something that most believers- Jewish, Muslim and Christian- are guilty of at one time or another.
Police regularly find white supremacists in possession of rocket launchers, grenades, pipe bombs and manuals on how to use them, and some senior officers have warned that elements on the extreme ...right would like to stage their own "spectacular". Gilleard, an organiser for the British People's Party, which has fielded candidates in local elections, was jailed in 2008 for possession of bullets, swords, knives, nail bombs, manuals on how to make bombs and sub -machine guns.

Consider this: after a 23-year-long peerreviewed study begun by James J. Gross and Robert W. Levenson - scientists working In the psychology department at the University of California, Berkeley - it ...is now, according to the Smithsonian Institution, finally official: the saddest movie in the world, i.e., the one that will continue to be used by researchers who need their subjects to uncontrollably cry or be depressed for whatever reason, is Franco Zeffirelli's 1979 masterpiece The Champ. (It will be the largest undertaking - out of 1 50 so far - funded by the fledgling crowdsourcing organization USA Projects.) The film, set around a 1980 chess programmer's tournament, will attempt to capture the moment when the computer suddenly became ubiquitous in daily life.

The terrorist act made by Anders Breivek in Norway is discussed. The 32-year-old Norwegian killed eight people with a bomb in downtown Oslo, then killed almost 70, execution style, on a nearby island ...youth camp of the ruling Labor party. Breivik is no psychotic loner, but a politically minded mass-murderer, like Timothy McVeigh and the jihadist terrorists who have afflicted the world in the last dozen years. His basic analysis seems clear enough. He feared Muslim domination of Europe and the "cultural Marxism" that enabled it. He took the weapons of violence into his own hands, and directed them not against his ultimate enemies but against those who failed to fight them.
The survivors of his massacre would have been spared the sight of Breivik saluting the TV cameras on his way into court and he would not have been able to use the international attention to promote ...the doctrine that he claims justified the killings. In a short film played to the court on the first day of the trial, Breivik set out his theory that western civilisation was under attack from multiculturalism, an "anti-European hate ideology" orchestrated by "cultural Marxists", who had encouraged the Islamic "colonisation" of Europe in order to destroy traditional Christian values.
