Quisling: Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl


By all accounts, we are finding out that, Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl is a deserter and traitor to the United States of America. His words and deeds speak for themselves. Still, to fully understand and make sense of his and his family’s nature, you need to understand his pedigree: a Norwegian quisling.

Contemporary Norway is a duplicitous country. As Churchill observed in a speech at St. James’s Palace on June 12, 1941 – Norwegians are “a vile race of quislings* to use the new word which will carry the scorn of mankind down the centuries.”

Founded in the 11th century by King Olaf II, Norway was a frozen and isolated nation for 200 years. From the 13th century, the Danes ruled Norway until the 19th century. Afterwards, the Swedes took control under a union that lasted until 1905. Well, there you have it; they didn’t participate in the Renaissance, the Reformation, or even the Enlightenment. Is it any wonder that they admire Lenin and Stalinist Russia, the Soviet Union, Authoritarian Socialism, and Communism?

This is Norway, where not long ago (August 24, 2012), Anders Breivik murdered 77 people, and was sentenced to a mere 21 years in prison. But if you think the Norwegian penal system is no walk in the park – think again. His lawyers say, ‘Mr. Breivik will spend his confinement in a prison outside Oslo in a three-cell suite of rooms equipped with exercise equipment, a television, and a laptop, albeit one without Internet access.’ Oh my, the inhumanity! No Internet! In other words, you can without contrition gunned down 77 unarmed fellow citizens, the majority of which were children, and received only 21 years in prison, with benefits.

If, Alfred Nobel, a Swede, had not thrown the Norwegians the 5th portion of the Nobel Prize to administer (the other four belong to Sweden), we would most likely never hear from them again. But he did -- and so we do. And as a result, every year or so we have to put up with their insult, called the Nobel Peace Prize.

And now, in the embodiment of Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl, we are again reminded of Churchill’s spot on insight, they are “a vile race of quislings.”


*Vidkun Quisling, leader of Norway in 1940, who cooperated and collaborated with the Nazis when Germany invaded Norway in 1940.
