Mr Frick’s Twitter feed includes pictures of him posing in a Putin t-shirt and showing off a Putin calendar.

Swedish PM Addresses Continued Wave of Bombings, Shootings, and Deaths

Following the spiral of violence witnessed since Christmas which so far has seen some 20 shootings and explosive detonations across Sweden—mainly in the Stockholm area—that have resulted in at least two people losing their lives, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) called this past weekend’s wave of violence as “among the worst” to hit the country in a “very long time.”

While speaking to the Swedish state-run broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT) on Monday, January 24th, the center-Right prime minister, who only assumed high office several months ago, did not mince his words, referring to those responsible for the violence, namely gang-related groups, “the domestic terrorists of our time.”

Has a Quran-burning protest ended Sweden’s Nato dream?

A crowd gathered outside Turkey’s embassy in Stockholm on Saturday afternoon to watch far-right politician Rasmus Paludan burn the Quran. Paludan, who leads the anti-Islam ‘Hard Line’ Danish party, was watched by dozens of photographers, police officers and bemused passers-by. Paludan is no stranger to controversy: he has previously been convicted under racism and defamation law. This latest stunt was called to show his party’s opposition to immigration and, he says, to stand up for free speech. Now, though, the stunt has become a diplomatic crisis for Sweden – and there are fears that its bid to join Nato could go up in smoke.

Turkey slams ‘barbarism’ of Quran-burning protest in Sweden

Right-wing politician Rasmus Paludan attacked Islam and immigration before setting holy book alight

Turkey cancelled a visit by the Swedish defence minister over a demonstration by an anti-Islamic extremist in Stockholm, sparking a fresh crisis as Sweden tries to convince Ankara not to block its bid to join Nato.

Over Half a Million Swedes Can No Longer Afford Basic Necessities

With prices having skyrocketed across all sectors, likely as a result of massive COVID-19 government spending compounded by the economic fallout from the sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine, an increasing number of Swedes are falling into poverty and are unable to afford basic necessities.

Despite the fact that absolute poverty in Sweden has decreased since the 1990s, the gap between the high and low earners continues to increase. Today, over half a million Swedes now find themselves unable to pay for the most basic expenses, with more and more people having to turn to charitable organizations in order not to starve, SvD Näringsliv reports.

‘Superdiversity’ in Malmö

The Swedish city that’s the canary in Europe’s coal mine.

With a population of roughly 350,000, Malmö, which is located on the other side of the Örebro Bridge from Copenhagen, is, after Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden’s third largest city. It has the country’s highest unemployment rate and one of its youngest populations – both of which can be explained by the fact that in Sweden, which is perhaps Western Europe’s most heavily Islamized nation, Malmö is perhaps the most heavily Islamized city. Its high Muslim population is also the reason why Malmö has been known for years as the rape capital of Sweden – which, in turn, has been known for years as the rape capital of Europe.

Swedish Kids a Minority in Malmö Schools

It is suggested that students generally would do better in Malmö’s schools if they were allowed to take classes in their native language instead of in Swedish.

The majority of the school kids in the Swedish city of Malmö are of foreign origin, which means “new integration challenges” for all, according to the city’s own researcher on the integration of immigrants.

Samnytt.se reports that two thirds of the children in Malmö are of immigrant background, a proportion which will directly impact the language of instruction…

‘Wholly unremarkable’: the suburban couple in Sweden accused of spying for Russia

For the leafy Stockholm suburb of Nacka, it was a rude, pre-dawn awakening: wailing sirens, two Black Hawk helicopters clattering overhead and special forces in combat gear fast-roping through the windows of an imposing white villa – all at 6.01am.

The raid late last month by Sweden’s security service, police elite units and army, lasting little over a minute, targeted a Russian couple suspected of carrying out “illegal intelligence activities” against Sweden and the US for more than a decade.

It took place just days before the trial began in Stockholm of two Swedish brothers arrested last autumn and accused of selling secrets to Russia’s intelligence services.

Sweden says it’s set to hit NATO’s defence spending target — unlike Trudeau’ government which maintains Canada’s Deadbeat status as policy

Justin prepares for meeting with WEF boss

Within two years, Sweden — the formerly neutral Nordic country that’s soon to join NATO — will meet the Western military alliance’s often-debated defence spending target of two per cent of gross domestic product.

The country’s top military commander, Gen. Micael Bydén, told CBC News that Sweden is also restructuring its armed forces to make it more of a “wartime organization” to be ready in case the conflict with Russia escalates.

That’s pretty bad, I hear Sweden’s armed forces are even more woke than Canada’s.

Why did Sweden turn Right-wing?

Swedish politics’ Rightward shift has dented the country’s image as the spiritual home of the liberal Left. Indeed, such was the success Sweden’s Right-wing coalition that the New York Times proclaimed that ‘Sweden is becoming unbearable’ on the day of the election.

Much of this nervousness can be put down to the growing influence of the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats. While not directly in power, the party’s political support for the Right-wing coalition means that they can exert pressure on their more moderate counterparts to reconsider Sweden’s experiment in mass immigration.

Sweden ditches ‘feminist foreign policy’ … Justin Trudeau Hardest Hit

Justin Trudeau crying on cue.

Sweden’s new foreign minister has ditched its pioneering “feminist foreign policy”, saying the label has become more important than its content.

But Tobias Billstrom said “we will always stand for gender equality”.

The previous left-wing government launched the policy in 2014, becoming the first in the world to put gender equality at the heart of its dealings with other nations.

The self-labelled “feminist government” had ruffled feathers globally.

Sweden: Deadly Gun Violence Reaches All-Time High in 2022

“It is no longer a secret today that much of the problem of gang and network crime with the shootings and explosions have been linked to migration to Sweden in recent decades,” Gothenburg police chief Erik Nord

Following its 48th deadly shooting which took place days ago, Sweden, once considered the most peaceful society in Europe, has registered more deadly incidents involving firearms in the first nine months of 2022 than were recorded during the whole of 2020, a year which previously held the record for the most people shot dead.
