Default 'Immigration is a taboo subject in Sweden'

The Local chats to the host of a new radio programme in Denmark that tackles the cultural divide between Swedes and their Danish neighbours, and pokes particular fun at the Swedes for their unusual taboos.

For two countries that have so much in common, Sweden and Denmark have vastly different approaches to the public debate.

At least, that's what you'll hear on a new programme on Danish radio station Radio24syv, which will be targeted at a Swedish audience despite being recorded in Copenhagen.

The Local Denmark chats to the host, historian and author Mikael Jalving, about his effort to help Swedes deal with taboo subjects.

He says that while Danes and Swedes are extremely alike, there are a heap of differences.

"One of these is that the presence of dissent and ideological tensions is much more taboo in Sweden than here. The political nobility of Sweden seems to be obsessed with mainstreaming the right to tolerance, equality and multiculturalism. So it’s not just a difference of opinion on certain topics, but rather how we tackle issues and taboos," he says.

He adds that in Sweden it's preferable to have taboos than to criticize them.

"You see this in areas like immigration and the integration of people from Muslim countries, feminism, prostitution, authority, nationality, crime and punishment, and even the approach to schooling. Swedes view the Danish discourse as something evil, racist, fascist – you name it," he explains, adding that a discussion about this with the Swedes themselves will be the focus of the programme.

In the full interview, published here on The Local Denmark, Jalving slices a burning sword through the Swedish mentality, suggesting that their "avant-garde self stature" is prime for satire.

Another topic he plans to tackle is immigration.

“The first taboo in Sweden is that immigration is a good thing. It is presented as something profitable - financially, politically, and culturally – and as a refreshing and rebooting of the populace," he explains.

"The next is that the quantity of immigrants doesn’t matter, that you can take in as many as you want. In any other European country, whether one likes immigration or not, quantity is a natural topic of discussion. How many can we take in? That is a practical and pragmatic question, but Sweden does not have that conversation. Pragmatism is seen as something unholy or evil.”

Sweden falls to third in global innovation index

Sweden has been ranked as the third most innovative country in the world, a step down from last year, according to the 2014 Global Innovation Index.

Being awarded the bronze medal in the Global Innovation Index (GII) is a demotion from the runner-up position the country held for the last four years, the main reason behind it being a drop in inputs this year.

The report, published by INSEAD, the leading international business school, and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, ranked 143 countries/economies on the basis of their innovation capabilities and results.

Innovation is measured by tallying elements of the national economy which embody innovative activities over seven components: institutions, human capital and research, infrastructure, market sophistication, business sophistication, knowledge and technology outputs, and creative outputs.

Despite losing out on the second place in favour of the United Kingdom, the CEO of INSEAD, Bruno Lanvin, saw no reason for Sweden to feel ashamed.

"Sweden is showing spectacular results without any big weaknesses, and is one of the world's most innovative countries," he said at a press conference.

"The country is like one of the top students in a class sitting at the front and keeping up with everything."

Sweden were particularly prominent in the areas "Research and development" and "Knowledge and technology outputs", the report stating that the country was "one of the five economies at the efficiency frontier".

Furthermore, according to the GII's depiction of a perfect world for innovation, Sweden would be the country in charge of information technologies, an industry associated with computer hardware and software, telecom equipment and e-commerce.

The top ten innovative countries in the world

1. Switzerland (Number 1 in 2013)

2. United Kingdom (3)

3. Sweden (2)

4. Finland (6)

5. Netherlands (4)

6. United States of America (5)

7. Singapore (8)

8. Denmark (9)

9. Luxembourg (12)

10. Hong Kong (China) (7)

Stockholm bomb man blames asylum rejection

The man whose bomb threat shut down central Stockholm last Thursday said the move was a protest against Sweden's asylum process, after his application for refugee status was declined.

The 43-year-old who threatened several Swedish political parties on Thursday with a bomb was interviewed at an initial hearing over the weekend - and revealed that the threats were motivated by the rejection of his request for asylum in Sweden.

"He is dissatisfied with the decision to deport him, and simply wanted to make his voice heard," district defending lawyer Peter Nilsson stated at the hearing on Sunday.

The 43-year-old arrived in Sweden about two months ago and applied for asylum, but his request was denied.

Extortion is becoming increasingly common in Swedish society. In 2003, the police recieved 740 reports - in 2013, the number was 5,300, according to statistics from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå).

"We can see both a rising inclination to report the crime and to use extortion," Johanna Skinnari at Brå, tells Swedish Radio. "For instance, there are instances of extortion among youths, something that maybe wasn't as common ten years ago. So there is a new extortion phenomenon."

And the increasingly younger perpetrators are starting to show up in statistics. In the beginning of the 2000s, the number of people under 18 years of age suspected of extortion was about 25 a year. Over the last couple of years, it has been around 100 a year. Often, the "debt" in question is related to real or perceived offences, according to Skinnari. "So they put a pricetag to the percieved insult and demand payment," she says.

Liam in Sundsvall was extorted by a peer. "He wanted 5,000 kronor that same night and said that if I didn't get him the money, he would shoot me and my family," he says.

Fifteen-year-old Kristian says the extortion in school has affected his whole life. "At school I had to stay in all the time. I didn't go to lunch with the others, because I didn't trust them. I had to change my routines, i didn't take the bus because I was scared he would get on it. He must have thought I was easy prey," Kristian tells Swedish Radio.

This year's Stockholm Pride Parade is set to become the biggest one the Swedish capital has ever seen. And for the first time, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt was among the thousands marching for LGTB rights.

For the seventeenth year running, the streets of central Stockholm are brimming with rainbow-coloured flags and thousands upon thousands of people showing their support for LGBT rights. And ahead of the parade it looks like record numbers this year, for both participants and spectators, news agency TT reported.

A total of 153 groups had registered to participate - and the groups were also unusually big this year, according to acting parade manager Fred Grip. In past years, the parade has drawn around 600,000 spectators, but this year's warm and sunny weather could nudge that number up further, Grip believes. "It's perfect parade weather and people have already started setting up their picnic baskets," he said.

Political leaders from all the major political parties, with the exception of the Sweden Democrats and the Christian Democrats, were expected to participate. Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and made his first appearance at the parade, but skirted questions about why it has taken such a long time for him to take part. "This is the first time ever that a Swedish Prime Minister takes marches in the parade," Reinfeld told news agency TT.

Another new addition this year was a sports section, including football team AIK and hockey team Kiruna IF. The Kiruna team made headlines earlier this year when they launched their new rainbow-coloured shirts and pledged to become the first LGBT certified sports associations. "It's a part of our position, that LGBT people should not be pushed aside, taunted or ridiculed," Johan Köhler, chairman of Kiruna IF, told TT.

Lina Wainwright Höckerfelt, representing the network Proud parents of LGBT children, thinks that the mass participation symbolizes the social spirit of the country. "There is more tolerance, and with the right-wing under currents today I think more people feel that they have to take a stand," she said.

The parade, that started at 1 pm on Saturday, stretched from Mariatorget on the island of Södermalm in central Stockholm to Östermalms IP.

Default Swedish teacher fired for racist Facebook posts

A newly-hired teacher in southern Sweden had her contract terminated after the school discovered anti-Muslim posts that she had written on the internet.

The teacher was meant to start working this August at the Montessori school in Kalmar, but after the school principal took a good look online she decided to end the already-signed contract due to the teacher's openly racist views.

The principal, Ann-Sofie Stensdotter, told Sveriges Radio that the teacher's extremely negative opinions about Muslims and "illegal immigrants" go against the school's values.

She added that the school will begin looking at what job seekers write on the internet in advance to avoid hiring people who are actively fighting for values not in line with the school's code.

The teacher published several video clips on her Facebook page where people, allegedly Muslims, engage in such acts as animal abuse. She had also commented on several of her posts, writing that "these people are God's punishment" for Sweden becoming a secular nation.

Another picture of a thin, old white person and a well-fed dark person was captioned with claims that "illegal immigrants" take all the government's money, leaving nothing to Swedish pensioners.

Hanna Oxell, front desk manager at Wise recruitment agency, told The Local that workers at her agency usually check online to see if the person interviewed matches the person online.

"We want to see if it strengthens the image of the person we are recruiting," she continued.

Stensdotter stressed that the biggest problem was not the teacher's views, however, but the strength and openness with which she shared them. The teacher's extreme views against those with Muslim backgrounds would be clear to students, Stensdotter said.

In a report by the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce and Bisnode about how Swedish employers look up potential candidates, 75 percent were revealed to have some kind of policy in place for background checks on job seekers.

About 45 percent search their candidates on Facebook, and nearly 40 percent use search engines like Google.

"It's not that common, but companies tend to say no to job-seekers in serious cases," Oxell told The Local. "For example when their opinions doesn't match the company's values."

Every fifth girl attending Swedish high school has reported being subjected to sexual harassment, according to a new report from an anti-bullying charity.

Some 12,766 children took part in the report compiled by Friends.

“This is a major societal problem that is not given the priority that it should. There is instead an acceptance, but we can’t accept that sexual harassment is part of a child’s everyday life,” said Friends General Secretary Lars Arrhenius.

The public transport service in Skåne will not allow election campaign posters from the Sweden Democrats on their buses.

Shortly after the Sweden Democrats presented their election campaign posters, Skånetrafiken is pulling the breaks on three of them. The reason is that the transport service does not allow advertisements that could be interpreted as “offensive, discriminating or racist,” the company told newspaper Dagens ETC.

Stockholm counterpart SL, however, has no problem with the party’s campaign posters. SL told newspaper Expressen that they do not think that the advertisements are crossing any lines.

The Sweden Democrats are not happy with the move and accuses Skånetrafiken of acting like a political player.

A teacher in southern Sweden was fined on Wednesday after performing the Hitler salute in front of his students during a German language lesson.

A teacher in the municipality of Gislaved was fined 8,000 kronor ($1,165) for performing a "Heil Hitler" salute in front of students.

He explained the choice of gesture as "a bad joke" to the local Värnamo Nyheter newspaper.

The district court considered that his behaviour was enough to be classified as a minor count of racial agitation (hets mot folkgrupp).

The law is meant to protect against harassment of people based on, for example, their ethnicity, religion, sexuality and gender.

The incident occurred this spring when the teacher walked into a classroom during an ongoing German class. He stood in front of the students saying "Heil Hitler" while doing the infamous arm and hand gesture.

At one point the teacher even stood behind the German teacher, counting out loud "ein, zwei, ein, zwei", reported the paper.

The school head reported the incident to the police and the teacher resigned before the trial. The man is now working in another municipality.

This is not the first time a Swede has gotten in trouble for performing the gesture. Last year a man in Malmö was sentenced to 100 hours of community service for doing the salute in public.

If that's the case, why hasn't anyone been punished for allowing the Wehrmacht access to Swedish infrastructure for the invasion of Norway?

Default anti-White College: No Whites in Swedish Colleges.

http://whitegenocideproject.com/anti...dish-colleges/ This anti-White flyer is made and distributed by Gustavus Adolphus College, aiming to bring in foreign students.

The link on the flyer links to a page on the college’s website, where it tries to promote non-Swedes to study in Sweden. The main message the college tries to get across is that Sweden is no longer a country full of White Swedes. As you can see, the photo on the flyer shows only two White guys.

“Experience living and learning in Sweden, a modern, multicultural and diverse nation that is both a unique northern European nation and a country integrated with the rest of Europe.” the college website says.

“A century ago Sweden was still a poor, undemocratic, agricultural nation with a homogeneous population.”

Notice the negative tone of this sentence – being majority White is a ‘problem’ like being undemocratic or poor, to them it seems.

“Since the 1950s, there has been immigration to Sweden instead, including laborers attracted to booming industries in the 1960′s and then, starting in the 1970s, a great influx of refugees attracted by the positive notions of Swedish egalitarian values and aided by Swedish immigration laws.”

“A transformation of this order, however positive it may be, does not come without tension and the constant need to make rational choices.”

These anti-Whites are actually using White genocide to advertise their college. What must their students be learning?

I’ll bet they’re not learning that anti-racist is a code for anti-White, and “diversity” is a code for White genocide.

A planned manifestation against the neo-Nazi Party of the Swedes spiralled out of control on Saturday in Malmö as police and protesters clashed leading to several injuries.

Ten people were taken to hospital, five with serious injuries with one of them requiring treatment in the emergency room. Police arrested six people and took scores more into custody.

An estimated 1,500 people gathered in Limhamn square to protest against a planned appearance by the leader of the Svenskarnas parti (party of the Swedes) who was due to make a speech…

Centre-left Social Democrats win minority government but the (not too) far right Sweden Democrats surged to get the balance of power.
