Sweden is a sinking ship

Here is a rather rough translation from the December 2004 issue of a bi-monthly magazine of Danish People´s party, which I'm told by Thomas Bolding Hansen, who kindly sent this in, is "a rightwing party with 13 % of the parliamentary vote." I don't know anything about the Danish People's party and am not endorsing it, but this information is most interesting:

...from 1973 to 2001, 735.873 foreigners have received citizenship in Sweden. To this has to be added children and children´s children which naturally receive the citizenship, there may be as many as 2 mil. people of foreign origin in Sweden, most of them from moslem countries, all in a nation with about 9 mil people.

23 % of the available workforce is unemployed.

Sweden has been receiving roundly about 60,000 immigrants the last 4 years, and turn very few away In 2003, 46.857 immigrants received permit to stay. ( from Migrationsverkets homepage )

Malmø a city of 250,000 citizens now have 75,000 of foreign descent, estimated to become majority in about 10 years.

Sweden tops Europe in crime rate. Some examples (interpol as source ):

Murders per 100,000 citizens:
Sweden........................................ 10,01
USA............................................... 5,61
Denmark........................................ 3,72
Poland.............................................3,50
Israel/westbank.............................. 3,43
Spain............................................2,90
Norway.......................................... 2,66
Switzerland.........................................2,41
Finland........................................ 1,71
UK................................................. 1,63
Irland............................................1,60
Japan............................................1.05

But what is probably the worst, the issue of immigration is not debated at all.

Here is a partial translation of an article by Søren Espersen ( MP for Danish People´s Party ) about how the sister party of DPP, Swedish Democrats, are treated in Sweden:

"The Swedish Democrats does exist, but with a mutual agreement between the cultural elite of Sweden, all other parties, all the newspapers, radio and tv, schools, highschools and universities, there has been the decision to pretend that the party, does not exist.

I know how that is. It is the best response the media establishment and Islamic apologists has to me: pretend I don't exist. They can't answer the questions I raise, so they pretend they haven't been raised at all.

This, for a western democracy quite special agreement, is working so far. This fully legal party, Swedish Democrats, is not allowed to place ads in the newspapers, it´s candidates for parliament are never interviewed in the press or on radio or tv. And though they at the last election were a fully legal candidate for seats in the parliament, they were, contrary to all other parties, not invited to the election Broadcasts ( Each party gets it´s own private presentation ), in the Swedish public service channel.

One of Swedish Democrat´s 3 members of the local authority in the major town of Blekinge; Karlkrona, Richard Jornshof, gives this report on how the agreement is working on the local level:

"We the three members of the local authority have in those 3 years we been in the city council, delivered many proposals, as well as we often lead the debate at the council meetings.

But no matter what we propose, the proposals are voted down, and no other parties will utter a word". People´s party´s chairman has openly
explained that all the other parties agree that any proposal from the Swedish Democrats, by default will be voted down.

"It plays no role what proposal we lead.There will be silence in the hall, to be followed by a voting down of the proposal, without debate.".

Every year, at the 9th of November, Comemorations of "crystal night" are being held acroos Sweden in memory of the victims of Nazi Germany. This year the Social democrats sent the message that from now on it should be a manifestation against rascism in general, and for democracy. It was informed that all parties were welcome, except Swedish Democrats. "In Bleking Läns Tidning and Sydöstran (newspapers) we were for once mentioned on that day, because we were compared to the nazis in Germany in the 30´s.

The Social Democratic mayor, Mats Johansson has not yet, we were elected in September 2002, shaken hands with us and greeted us, and for my own concern, I was fired as a teacher 3 years ago, and have been unable to find a new work as teacher even though there are many free." Says Richard Jornshof.

Only on the internet has it been impossible to stop Swedish Democrats. WWW.sverigedemokraterna.se , as the homepage of the party magazine; www.sd-kuriren.info.se are among the most expansive websites in Sweden and are visited by ten thousands of Swedes."

From another Article By Søren Espersen:

"Violent assaults and life threatening attacks against members of Swedish Democrats, are not talked about in the media ... those rare
cases where it happens, it is only as a small paragraph inside a paper."

"Only in a couple of cases the result has been a conviction of the guilty" ( We are talking 20-30 violent assaults of varying degree, and
2-3 that were close to or could have ended with a deathly outcome ).

From an interview with a Swedish family, a young couple, Gabriella Johansson and mattias Karlsson living in Lund where there are few
immigrants:

"There are now Gangs in Malmö specialized in assaulting old people visiting the graves of relatives".

"If the difference between the various groups of the population becomes too big, and if the destructive subcultures are further nurtured, the welfare state can´t survive. To maintain a huge level of taxation like in Sweden, the public needs to feel it gets some safety out of it."

"Sydsvenska Dagbladet ( news paper ) had on it´s homepage some while ago a "daily question" where people were asked if they disagreed with Danish immigration politics, 80 % voted no, the result was that the "daily question" was removed altogether"

"It has become such that native Swedes must adopt ( to immigrants ) not the other way around".

These are the conditions in Sweden for democracy and dealing with the issue of immigration, no debate at all.

As a note Sweden even has a odd election approach where it is impossible to keep your vote totally secret, since rather than using one long list containing all parties as in other European countries, Sweden use a seperate ballot paper for each party, and though these are distributed in due time on postal offices besides at the location of the actual vote, they can be targeted for removal, or even added to on a printer, thus end up not counting. This is wonder of wonders something Swedish Democrats have felt on their own party body, and as a small party they have little manpower to check if the ballot papers are missing or rendered illegal.
