22 JULY

When I think of late July it's usually because it's a birthday month for 2 in my family.  Yet in 2011 on July 22 an event occurred both in Oslo and Utoya, a youth leadership camp nearby that marred late July forever killing 77 and injuring 200 people. 

An ultra right member acting under a manifesto of a white supremist group claimed Knights of Templar Europe was formed after 9-11 orchestrated these attacks on his own to bring attention to immigration and the desire to take his country back from foreigners. Does this rhetoric sound familiar to you?  

How can this campaign of hate be thriving throughout the world fighting multiculturalism under many different names? It feeds on fear and hate with political acts regarding ethnic and indigenous cleansing.  

Netflix has recently released the movie 22 July to cover this Norwegian disaster, of the survivors, lawyers and Norwegian political system and the  far right wanting power and to change society permanently.

Watch the movie. It's time to stand up for those who have lost their lives for freedom and hope...
