Writing about the Dominionist reach in America is challenging – let alone referencing acts on foreign soil such as the Norway slaughter. We are seeing the spin by those like Laura Ingraham and her FOX cohorts in their attempt to make this an anti-Islam terrorist act rather than admit that it has ties to radical Dominionism with its feet firmly planted in the Christian Bible by the bible-based cult of Dominionism.

With the expressed encouragement of the ‘experts’, we decided years ago to use a single identifying term that we could make a “brand” of the collective efforts by divergent religious groups who all seek to take “dominion” over secular institutions and society in their quest to establish a theocratic government rooted in biblical law. It is working. Even 4 years ago if you Googled Dominionism no more the a few pages would appear. Today there are 1,580,000 results. THAT is progress! And it has taken the efforts of many of us to generate this branding.

In regards to dominionist linkages to the bloody slaughter in Norway, here are our findings so far:
a) In particular, with a video manifesto (which has been linked on Youtube until it was pulled there, and which has since shown up on Liveleak) the shooter makes some very specific references that show he has familiarity with, and probably shares terminology with (if not overtly sharing intel with) “Christian patriot” militia groups in the US (including material that has been posted on racist and far-right-wing forums in the US, use of particular catch phrases associated with the “Christian Patriot” movement in the US, and others). I’ve just spent nine hours typing up an extensive analysis of the video; he is clearly connected with religious-nationalist groups in Europe and in the US. The degree of references to material originating in the US, in fact, indicate he has been in somewhat regular contact with anti-Muslim racists in the “Christian Patriot” movement in the US, rather than obtaining racialist material from racist groups elsewhere in the world.
b) One thing that stands out (if one is unaware of racialist movements in Europe)–most racist activity in Europe so far has been from “odinists” and “Satanists” in the black-metal community (and are largely doing it in a pattern of occasionally bloody attention-whoredom) or from blatantly neo-Nazi groups. A group or person claiming a “Conservative Christian” basis for this, especially in Europe, stands out like a sore thumb; generally (unlike the US) there has not been a tradition of “racist right” churches like Christian Identity that claim to be “Bible-based”.
