Saga

{{hatnote|You may be looking for the type of {{wpl|saga}} that originated in [[Iceland]] in the [[Middle Ages]]. That's not what this article is about.}}
{{race}}'''Saga''' {{lived|1975}} is a [[Sweden|Swedish]] singer known for her [[white power]] numbers. She was at one point a member of the band Symphony of Sorrow, and has made tributes to [[Skrewdriver]], another [[neo-Nazi]] band. Her songs promote [[white supremacy]] and [[anti-communism]], and is one of the more prominent white supremacist singers in Sweden.

==Career==
Between 2000 and 2001, she released three albums covering numerous numbers by the [[British]] neo-Nazi punks Skrewdriver. "Ian Stuart was the leader singer and his determination to sing about what he believed in despite the hateful opposition and the corporate music industry which wouldn't play his music unless it fit their agenda{{sic}}", she says.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111203141139/http://www.thisissaga.com/story.html My Story] ''Saga'' (archived from December 3, 2011).</ref>

She has described [[Rudolf Hess]] as "[a] true hero and martyr for our people. If I ever feel depressed over my situation I always compare to his sacrifices and then I always feel better cause I know that he took all those year for me and our folk." "Political systems and such things can change and can be fixed, but if our people dies it is gone forever", she says. "And that would mean that natures finest creation would be wiped out, wiped out forever."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070705205734/http://www.mirkwoodzine.org/sagaeng.htm Saga] ''Mirkwood Zine'' (archived from July 5, 2007).</ref>

Following accusations that her music influenced [[Anders Behring Breivik]], whose manifesto praised her as "the best and most talented patriotic musician in the English speaking world" and quoted lyrics from her songs,<ref>''2083: A European Declaration of Independence'' by Anders Behring Breivik 2011. Page 847.</ref> she wrote that:

{{quotebox|[m]y music is conceived to be a positive step towards celebrating our identity… I have never sought to encourage or promote violence and I never shall. My thoughts are with the [[Norwegian]] people at this time and my heart goes out to all those affected by this hideous and utterly pointless atrocity.<ref>[https://www.anorak.co.uk/288930/reviews/sun-uses-nazi-singer-saga-to-link-anders-breivik-to-the-bnp.html Sun Uses Nazi Singer Saga To Link Anders Breivik To The BNP] (4<sup>th</sup>, August 2011) ''Anorak''.</ref>}}

"[S]he is all about [[White genocide|increased birthrates of European children]]", comments "Anonymous Coward" at the [[Godlike Productions]] forum.<ref>[https://archive.ph/cCb0l Saga, the beautful Swedish singer!] by Anonymous Coward (05/05/2010 06:58 PM) ''Godlike Productions (archived from 7 Jul 2013 13:58:22 UTC).</ref>

One of her recordings is a cover of "[[Tomorrow Belongs to Me]]" from the musical "Cabaret". Apparently, she's oblivious to the fact that the two men who wrote the song, John Kander and Fred Ebb, are both [[Jews]].

Following the Breivik [[mass shooting]], Saga crawled back into the cave she came out of and disappeared from public life.<ref>[https://www.arbetaren.se/2017/10/18/sanger-for-nationskrigare/ Sånger för nationskrigare] (October 18, 2017) ''Arbetaren''.</ref>

==Other Sagas==
There's a [[Canada|Canadian]] {{wpl|Saga (band)|prog-rock band using the same name}}, but playing much better (and not [[racist]]) music.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHXkRoQNDZ4 Saga - How Long] (Nov 7, 2008) ''[[YouTube]]''.</ref>

Not to be confused with the [[United Kingdom|British]] {{wpl|Saga plc|holiday company specialising in holidays for old people}}, whose name (contrary to popular opinion) stands for neither "Send A Granny Abroad" nor "Sex And Games for the Aged".

Also not to be confused with the beautifully drawn {{wpl|Saga (comics)|comic book series}} by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples.
