How did I even know about his plans to get rid of me? Let's find out. Of course, you have the group who has no clue whatsoever, because all the information they have is from that propaganda film, Lords of Chaos. But you also have another group who know perfectly well that there was a plot against me by him. But they argue that. Well, okay, but how could I know? You see, the thing is, Tomas from Emperor, Håvard from Mortis, Vegard from Emperor, and several others knew perfectly well that Euronymous planned to get rid of me in the most terrible way you can imagine. But then, of course, some people will also say, well, how do you know that? They haven't said that, have they? Or have they? I don't know really. Well, the thing is, when you are charged with a crime, you gain access to all the police documents. So I was able to read all the police interviews with those people. And whilst they were busy ratting each other out like complete cowards, they told the police about Euronymous plans against my life. And mind you, Mayhem didn't behave like that, Darkthrone didn't behave like that, but all the others in the scene at the time did. So I know that they know because they told the police, and I read those police interviews. But of course, I would only gain access to those documents, and they would only say that after Euronymous had already been removed. So how did I know? Let's find out. You see, one day he called his most trusted childhood friend, Snorre Ruch, from, you know, the Thorns band. And he called him and he told him that he was going to get rid of me on the phone. And by chance I was there with Snorre at the time and Snorre asked me to come over and I would was allowed to listen to it. So I didn't get this information from any, you know, third hand source. I heard it directly from Euronymous. He told Snorre that he wanted to get rid of me and I heard it from him directly. The funny thing in all this is that during the trial this information came up. And naturally when I was convicted, the judge ignored all that and said literally in the the conviction that "Varg had no comprehensible motive". Really? Is that hard to comprehend? And another very odd thing about this is that even though these guys knew that Euronymous was plotting against me, How would the police be able to manipulate them into giving testimony against each other, first and foremost, and also me. I mean, if you know that someone is plotting against another, and that other actually succeeds in taking out the one plotting against him, why would that be a problem to you? So there you have the Norwegian legal system. They hear from several different sources. That the guy plotted against me. They heard from Snorre that I knew about it. And yet they managed to write in the conviction that I had an incomprehensible motive. And this is, of course, connected to the way I reacted when I was given the conviction, you know, "the smile". I knew already that this was a charade they had. They didn't care about the evidence, and they just. They could have sent this to me by mail, and I would have been given no less just treatment than I was given during that trial. It was a complete charade. And of course, I knew the outcome, and I saw that the judge[1] acting as if I would be become surprised by this is like. This is ridiculous. Next time, send it in a mail, you know, don't bother pretending to give me a trial.
