No no, you see. Ally, and Soviet Russia bad. Also the PM might be invited to the white house uuhh

On paper I assume the US have paid for much of the installations using US tech that Norway doesn't produce ourselves - but I'm pretty sure there are some close personal ties between PST leadership and someone high up in the CIA

to be clear wormdal's mostly writing about E-tjenesten, not PST - though i assume that PST similarly has connections to US intelligence

a major moment of disillusionment for me was when i learned that haakon lie had been informing for the OSS/CIA basically throughout the post-war period. imo some highly shady deals were made circa 1944-45 between the labour party and US and i remain convinced (though this is not a belief well-supported by specific evidence) that jens chr hauge was also some kind of foreign asset when he joined the Party after the war

bård wormdal has over thirty years of work for the public broadcaster under his belt and is published on aschehoug so idk how much of a crank he can reasonably be said to be

he's got a bit of a hobby horse or he probably wouldn't have written a book about it, but i get the impression that this follows from his experience with the topic over a long period of time rather than the contrary

It's undetermined. When you've served 10 years you can apply to have a fixed sentence set but it'll never be less than 18 years in total.

Denmark has forvaring which is reserved for criminally insane people and I forget the initial sentence limit but the idea is it can be (and often is) extended indefinitely.

A "livstid" sentence for normal people is like 20 years.

yeah this is similar to how we do it in norway, maximum normal criminal sentence is 21 years but they somehow finagled breivik into a version of forvaring which doen't presuppose him being criminally insane. i don't understand this system very well, so i may be missing something, but my impression at the time was that we were finding a bit of a loophole to ensure that this specific guy was never ever coming back out

Not really, depending on how broad a definition of similar you are applying.

V. Illych L. posted:

No it isn't, check out chap. 16. It's 30 years. Depending ln whether you consider genocide etc. "normal" crimes but they do count in the range of ordinary criminal prison sentences.

V. Illych L. posted:

No, they didn't. It's not a requirement of forvaring that the defendant be any type of insane, check out chap. 7 more specifically § 40.

And Breivik was not found to have been insane during his crimes.

V. Illych L. posted:

No you don't (no offense), you are missing something, and Breivik was just plain sentenced to forvaring. There are no loopholes to criminal convictions.

But seriously, would you like to be the judge who lets Breivik out? I would never ever make that call personally, guy's a loving whacko and the biggest recidivist risk I have ever seen.

They do happen a lot though... Not that I'm disagreeing with the sentiment.

I think there are some similarities between Breivik and Varg Vikernes, who is a free man today. Especially in how little their outlook have changed.

But even more differences. Varg killed one man. And even though he hasn't changed his outlook (whatever that means) he hasn't committed any crimes since being released from prison so you can argue that he was rehabilitated by serving in prison.

Yeah, shitposting on youtube and making dumb racist RPGs is not yet illegal in and of itself, so.

In general, I think a lot of young dumb guys who might commit violent crimes become less dangerous (if not less dumb) as they age. Not everyone, of course.

Our Swedish foreign minister openly claimed that Israel's bombing of civilians in Gaza is "proportional" and part of Israel's right to defend itself. He's so dense and bad at doing the dog whistling that the critizism was severe enough, even from part of the Right, that he had to backpedal. But yeah, I'm very very not surprised.

it is genuinely difficult to overstate the extent to which the norwegian security state is involved with the americans and our foreign service managed to scrounge up the backbone to vote in favour. granted this may be a sop because the labour movement is furious with the government over energy policy, but still
