False flag

I rarely use wikipedia as a source, particularly on current events and movements, it's run by people I don't trust and whose political affiliation is suspect to say the least, look up the EDL page for example a bigger pack of lies and conjecture as you're ever likely to find, based mostly upon articles by the movements enemies. However for some things it's ok...

False flag (aka Black Flag) operations are covert operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colours; that is: flying the flag of a country other than one’s own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations and can be used during peace-time.

And so we come to Anders Breivik, held up as an example of right wing hate and an Islamophobe, mass murderer and probably tied to every anti-islamist in the world, well according to the left anyway. They certainly tried to pin him to the EDL referencing the fact that he was a member of the EDL forum. Which is true enough, though the couple of posts he made in the intro section gave no hint of his real agenda. he even decried the EDL in his manifesto as not being radical enough, still that's never stopped the left from giving up a resounding smear job.
Yet something he did in his trial pictures gave me pause...

It's the salute,that's not a right wing salute, that's the salute of a left wing revolutionary...

Wikipedia, again.

The raised fist (also known as the clenched fist) is a symbol of solidarity and support.

During the Spanish Civil War, it was sometimes known as the anti-fascist salute. The traditional version of the salute, originally a symbol of the broader workers' movement, became associated with the parties of the Comintern during the 1920s and 1930s. Since the Trotskyists were forced out of the Comintern, some Trotskyists have made a point of strictly raising the left fist in the tradition of the Left Opposition.

Now it might be that Breivik is just playing mind games, I am though wondering if Breivik is actually of the left trying to smear the nationalist movements. Certainly the opinion of the nationalist movements is that the man's an utter loon and what he did was an abomination. Though the left and islamics in general do have an almost monopoly on abominations, they certainly aren't above false flag operations of this kind.
Certainly raises a few questions as to his real motives...
