2083: A European Declaration of Independence

 

Breivik compiled a 1,516-page manifesto entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence (a reference to the unsuccessful second Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683^[74]), under the pseudonym "Andrew Berwick", which he e-mailed to 1,003 addresses about 90 minutes before the bomb blast in Oslo.^[75] In the manifesto, which is part political discussion, part confessional, and part action plan, Breivik sets out his belief that his actions will help to spark a civil war in Europe that will last for decades, progressing through three distinct phases and culminating in 2083 with the extermination of European Marxists and the expulsion of Muslims from Europe.^[76]

The introductory chapter of the manifesto defining "Cultural Marxism" is a copy of Political Correctness: A Short History of an Ideology by the Free Congress Foundation.^[77][78] Major parts of the manifesto are attributed to the pseudonymous Norwegian blogger Fjordman.^[79] The text also copies sections of the Unabomber manifesto, without giving credit, while exchanging the words "leftists" for "cultural Marxists" and "black people" for "muslims".^[80] The New York Times described American influences in Brevik's writings, noting that he mentions the anti-Islamist American Robert Spencer 64 times in his manifesto and cites Spencer's works at great length.^[81] The work of the Egyptian born Jewish author Bat Ye'or ^[82] is cited dozens of times.^[83] Neo-pagan writer Koenraad Elst and neo-conservative Daniel Pipes are also mentioned as Breivik's sources of inspiration.^[84] The pamphlet also quotes from Jeremy Clarkson's Sunday Times column as well as Melanie Phillips' Daily Mail column.^[85] Breivik also admires Ayaan Hirsi Ali (whom he thinks deserves the Nobel Prize), Bruce Bawer, Srđa Trifković,^[86] and Henryk M. Broder.^[87]

In the manifesto, Breivik considers himself "a real European hero", "the saviour of Christianity" and "the greatest defender of cultural-conservatism in Europe since 1950".^[88] Breivik wanted to see European policies on multiculturalism more similar to those of Japan and South Korea, which he said are “not far from cultural conservatism and nationalism at its best”.^[17]
