Anders Behring Breivik is NOT a Crusader

A crusader.

Anders Behring Breivik, the admitted shooter in the recent Oslo massacre, fancies himself a “crusader.”

He believes himself to be a modern-day Knight Templar (as he claims in a disturbing video he posted online sometime before the attacks), on a holy mission to liberate Europe from “Islamic Colonization” ... which he views as the hidden agenda of some sort of "Marxist" and “Multi-culturalist” conspiracy.

In his video he claims people like him need not fear death, as they are protected by the “armor of faith.”

And in the name of his so-called “crusade,” he detonated a bomb in an Oslo government office building … right next to Norwegian parliament. He wasn’t even on the premises.

With his bomb … a coward’s weapon of choice … he killed 8 people.

In addition to his “armor of faith,” Breivik wore a police officer’s uniform when, shortly after the bombing, he opened fire on a crowd of 700 teens at a Labor Party youth camp. Some of the panicked teens, at seeing his police uniform, apparently even ran to him for help … only to be gunned down by him.

Armed to the teeth … against what amounts to a crowd of unarmed children … and hiding behind a police officer's uniform … he killed 68 young people.

He surrendered to authorities, likely to avoid being shot/killed by them, and has even admitted to everything ... and yet he refuses to plead guilty in court, obviously planning to use a public trial as a forum with which to further promote his irrational psuedo-nationalist ideology.

Ander Behring Breivik fancies himself a crusader, a modern-day Knight Templar of European Christendom.

Let’s make this clear: This man is not a crusader. He is not a knight, Templar or otherwise. He is neither a liberator nor a soldier. He is not even worthy of being called a terrorist, in my opinion.

Ander Behring Breivik is a delusional, narcissistic coward … nothing more than a mass murderer hiding behind his bullshit manifesto and claim to divine authority, the same way he hid behind an officer’s uniform as he gunned down 68 unarmed teenagers.

What a sad and pathetic little man you are, Breivik. May justice be swift, and your punishment severe.

The Mythology of Supernatural - new updates/posts begin August 2nd

Hello All,

Not much time to post lately. However, I wanted to let everyone know that I will begin posting updates and comments related to the new book, The Mythology of Supernatural, beginning on the release date (August 2nd 2011).

In addition to my own comments and updates, I will also be answering questions from readers. For those who would like to pose a question (related to the book, please) that they'd like me to answer in a post, you may either present them to me in the blog comments, the discussion board on my Amazon Page (http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B002OIHVIK). You can also tweet questions to me using Twitter (NatRBrown) or leave a comment on my Facebook fanpage (http://www.facebook.com/?sk=pages&ap=1#!/pages/Nathan-Robert-Brown/285309961036?sk=wall).

Submitting a question does not guarantee that I will choose it for a post. I have no idea how many questions I will end up with, so I don't want to make any promises.

I would like to extend my most sincere thanks, once again, to all those in the Supernatural fandom who have helped to make this book a success.

All My Best!
Nathan Robert Brown

A Big Thank You! (The Mythology of Supernatural)

I just want to say "Thanks!" to all of those Supernatural fans and mythology readers who have helped to keep The Mythology of Supernatural in the Amazon top 50,000 for the last 20 days (though the book has actually spent most of that time among the TOP 20,000). And for a majority of this month, the book has been ranked among the top 100 in the Television book category!

What is blowing my mind is that the book does not even come out for 2 more weeks! I have never seen any of my previously published books have this much popularity before they even hit the shelves. The Supernatural fandom rocks! And I am thankful for every last one of you.

My most sincere thanks to all of you who have preordered the book, and even to those of you who are waiting until after the release date to buy it.

Typo of the Day (7/15/11)

Hey Folks,

It is time for yet another typo of the day.

This one comes to us from the folks at KGUN in Arizona:
"The Pima County Sheriff's Air Unit on patrol on Tuesday, July 12th 2011, received word that a green laser was illuminating the cockpit's of commercial jetliners on approach to Tucson International Airport."

Somebody want to tell me what that freaking apostrophe is for?
LEARN YOUR PUNCTUATION, PEOPLE!

Typo of the Day (6/27/11)

Hey Everyone,

It appears time for another "Typo of the Day."

This one comes to us from AOL News (big shock, right?), in an article about a woman who hoards dolls:
"Part of the problem is that she and her son are running out of space because of the dolls, the weight of which is comprising the structural integrity of their house."

Seriously? The weight of dolls comprises the structural integrity?

COMPRISE: "Consist of; to be made up of."

So, by that rationale ... the entire structural integrity of the house is made up of DOLLS, right? Man, I'd like to see what that must look like!

I think the word they're looking for is
COMPROMISING: As in, "To reduce in quality, value, or degree; weaken or lower."

Once again, I must weep at the realization that I am witnessing the death of the written word as I know it.

Vampire Slayer / Hunter Kit Auction

I have decided to hold an eBay auction for the last of my 2011 handmade Deluxe Vampire Slayer / Monster Hunter Kits.

Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/160608357283

I will sign the stake and/or interior of the wooden carrying case at the request of the winning bidder.

Please note that this is the LAST DELUXE SLAYER KIT I plan to make for the 2011 year.

After this auction ends, no more of the DELUXE type of my SLAYER KITS will be available for purchase until some time AFTER my new website's launch, which is scheduled for around August 1st 2011.

Typo of the Day (6/21/11)

Hello All,

Welcome to a new segment in my blog ... let's call it "The Typo of the Day" (however, to be honest, I doubt I'll post one every day).

Today's Typo come to us from Fox 41 News in Louisville, KY:
"Does it happen? Yes. Is it surprising? No. That's the reason these statues are on the books. It's fairly coincidental that these two merged together at a similar time."

That's right people ... thanks be to [insert deity name of choice here] that we have those "STATUES on the books."

Maybe this is what's wrong with the Louisville Schools?

After all, how are kids supposed to read books when you've got STATUES on them?!!!

I now realize that I will likely live long enough to witness the slow & painful death of the written word with my own eyes ... great.

Where is Ray Bradbury when I need him?
