The Lund Commission was established by the the Norwegian Parliament on February 1, 1994 to investigate "illegal or irregular surveillance of Norwegian citizens" by Norwegian police, security services or intelligence.[1]
It report, published on 8. May 1996 and deals with observations and monitoring of political groups, mainly communists and socialists which were considered to represent a threat to the security of Norway during the Cold War, and which were carried out by the Norwegian Police Security Service on instructions from the Norwegian government.
The report avoided looking the most powerful intelligence agency, the military Norwegian Intelligence Service.
Deep state control
The Norwegian Deep State placed socialist politician Berge Furre in the Commission in order to scandalize and render it harmless in public opinion.
According to a book by Johan Setsaas, this was attempted by the Fourth Service, a deep state network connected to the Labour Party. The plan was first to appoint Furre to the commission, then relatively quickly to find compromising material against him in the East German Stasi archives, and then to compromise not only Furre, but the entire Lund Commission.[2]
