151. Yes, that has been confirmed:
Edited on Sat Jul-23-11 11:46 AM by muriel_volestrangler
Norwegian Killer Linked to Tea Party and EDL

Anders Behring Breivik posted links to the Atlas Shrugs website of the Tea Party’s Pamela Geller. Here you can see him under the name of Anders Behring (his middle name) posting links to Geller’s “Atlas Shrugs” site. That cache page is bing translated from Norwegian.

http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2011/07/norwegia... /


On edit: Ooops, I thought you meant the Pamela Geller 'Atlas Shrugs' anti-Muslim website, rather than the Rand 'Shrugged' novel. Unclear if he was a Rand fan - she's not well known in Europe generally, but he did read people like Geller and Pipes, so might have picked it up from there.
