Establishment media mocks Trump for Sweden comment while Swedish MP’s demand billions for police amid growing crisis

Feb 20, 2017 12:10 pm By Robert Spencer

The establishment propaganda media is indeed, as President Trump said, “the enemy of the American people.” The latest is that Trump is a fool for referring to trouble in Sweden, because everything is going swimmingly there. Scroll through the stories here and tell me that all is well.

And the news story below has this: “In February 2016, the National Criminal Investigation Service was forced to admit more than 50 areas in were now labelled as “no-go zones” as sex crimes, attacks on police, drug dealing and children carrying weapons were common occurrences.” Wow, Trump is really an idiot, eh?

In the ridiculous and fact-free Vox piece excerpted below, “journalist” Zack Beauchamp invokes another hard-Left “journalist,” Doug Saunders (not excerpted below), who attempts to explain away Sweden’s rape epidemic as resulting not from Muslim migrants, but from increased reporting. Funny how that increased reporting coincides exactly with the migrant influx. There also seems to have been, coincidence of coincidences, an increase in reporting of rapes right around the same time in Cologne and elsewhere in Europe. Doug Saunders, meanwhile, is a shameless Left-propagandist who a few years ago misrepresented my remarks critical of Obama on a Russian news program as evidence that I was attacking “the United States” (who knew that Obama equaled the United States?) and endorsing Putin’s repressive measures. (This was, as it turns out, a foretaste of the Left’s cynical and hypocritical hysteria over Russia that it took up in earnest during the 2016 presidential campaign.) Doug Saunders has the journalistic integrity of Josef Goebbels — which is, of course, why someone like Zack Beauchamp invokes him as an authority.

“As enemedia mocks Trump for Sweden comment, Swedish MP’s demand billions for police amid growing crisis,” by Pamela Geller, The Geller Report, February 20, 2017:

This is why President Trump called the media “the enemy of the American people.” They’re actively lying to the public to keep them ignorant about what is really happening. The brouhaha over Trump’s remarks about Sweden is a case in point. Practiced liar Zack Beauchamp of Vox took aim at Trump and fired with the piece below, which is as fanciful as it is dangerous.

“Trump’s invention of a Swedish terrorist attack was funny. But it likely comes from a dark place,” by Zack Beauchamp, Vox, February 19, 2017:

Saturday night, President Donald Trump held a rally in Melbourne, Florida, where he attempted to defend his controversial “Muslim ban” executive order by pointing to the consequences of migration in Europe. He focused on an unspecified event that took place “last night in Sweden:”

When you look at what’s happening in Germany, when you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden — Sweden! Who would believe this? Sweden! They took in large numbers, they’re having problems like they never thought possible.

The only problem is that nothing happened the prior night in Sweden. The Swedish daily Aftonbladet quickly compiled a list of of noteworthy things that happened on Friday; they included a drunken-driving arrest and “some technical problems” during 87-year-old crooner Owe Thörnqvist’s rehearsal prior to the Melodifestivalen song competition.

It seemed like Trump, in the grand tradition of the Bowling Green Massacre, simply invented a terrorist attack allegedly committed by immigrants out of whole cloth….

Jokes aside, though, there’s a very real question going on here: What on Earth was the president of the United States talking about? What does he think is going on in Sweden?

Our best guess: Sweden’s alleged “rape epidemic”

If you spend any time in the conservative media, particularly alt-right or anti-Islam sites, there’s a clear narrative about Sweden: Muslim migrants are raping Swedish women at unprecedented numbers.

Look, for example, at Breitbart — Trump senior strategist Steve Bannon’s old publication. It’s published an enormous number of pieces in recent years on the alleged migrant rape crisis in Sweden, focusing on cities like Malmö with large Muslim immigrant populations. Representative headlines include “Police warn of child rape epidemic in migrant-occupied Malmo” and “Migrants jailed after woman abducted at gun point, gang-raped in hookah bar basement.”

Breitbart is hardly alone. Virginia Dare, an alt-right site focusing on immigration, published a piece on “Sweden’s ‘refugee’ sexual assault disaster.” Pamela Geller, a widely-read anti-Muslim blogger who once published a piece alleging that Barack Obama was the love child of Malcolm X, wrote a piece titled “Sweden Crumbling: Demands for military intervention as thugs turn Malmo into ‘no-go zone.’”

These claims have even made it into more mainstream outlets like National Review and Fox News. Friday night, Fox’s Tucker Carlson interviewed Ami Horowitz, a journalist who said that “from the onset of the refugee crisis, there was a surge in [Swedish] gun violence and rape.” Slate’s Daniel Politi theorizes Trump watched the segment, and hence decided to say something about Sweden in his subsequent speech.

That’s hard to say for sure. But the odds are, given the consistency of the narrative about Sweden in the right-wing mediasphere, that Trump heard one of these claims about a Swedish refugee rape epidemic somewhere — and appropriated them to justify his travel ban.

The problem, though, is that this “rape epidemic” is as fake as the Bowling Green Massacre….

The vicious Beauchamp wasn’t alone. Business Insider had a story with this headline: “Trump’s baffling ‘Sweden’ comment came from a FOX News segment.” Baffling? Yes, it’s all made up by “right-wingers” like me. Right? Of course not. Here is the grim reality in Sweden to which Trump was referring:

“SWEDEN ON EDGE: Now MPs DEMAND billion pound investment into police amid growing crisis,” by Lizzie Stromme, Express, February 5, 2017:

SWEDEN’S Prime Minister was brutalised in Parliament for allowing Sweden to crumble into a lawless state.

Right-wing politicians tore into Stefan Löfven earlier this week as they said more recourse and police were needed now as officers are losing the uphill battle secure law and order across the nation.

The Sweden Democrats (SD) and Moderate Party (MP) also lambasted the Swedish PM for the crisis within the police force.

Hitting back at the criticisms, Mr Löfven said his Government wanted to invest more money into the police as well grant recourses to combat the causes of crime.

Dissatisfied with the reply, MP leader Anna Kinberg Batra demanded the billion pound investment should be included in the spring budget – adding that anything else was just empty promises.

Mattias Karlsson SD took an even harsher approach to the continued problems within the country, which as been plagued with violent crimes, sex attacks and car fires, as he also insisted Police Commissioner Dan Eliassons should step down from the top role.

He said: “Right now we have a police commissioner who expresses greater sympathy with murderers than with the murder victim.

“So I wonder: how bad results does a Social Democratic police commissioner have to deliver to lose an SD-Government’s confidence?”

Mr Eliassons sparked widespread fury last year after he went on national television and expressed sympathy for a migrant who murdered asylum worker Alexandra Mezher.

After the 22-year-old’s horrific death, the head of the Swedish police force said the arrested youth may have been traumatised by “horrors” he has witnessed.

A number of people demanded the police chief’s resignation after the TV appearance, including Kent Ekeroth, a member of parliament for the anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats, who tweeted: “This is where Dan Eliasson feels sorry for the guy who knife murdered the woman at the asylum home – resign!”…

In February 2016, the National Criminal Investigation Service was forced to admit more than 50 areas in were now labelled as “no-go zones” as sex crimes, attacks on police, drug dealing and children carrying weapons were common occurrences.

Malmo, Sweden’s third-largest city, has been so hard hit by crime and car fires, the Social Democrats demanded soldiers should be sent in to reestablish law and order.

Speaking to Expressen, Mr Olsson also said there was a great lack of police officers in Sweden, which means officers could benefit from the armed forces’ resources.

He said: “There is a great lack of police officers in Sweden and Malmö. For this reason, it is perhaps time to let the military and police to stand together to reestablish order in the country.”

Also there is this:

“Looks Like Donald Trump Was Right About Sweden After All,” by Emily Zanotti, Heat Street, February 19, 2017:

President Donald Trump was the subject of mockery on Sunday after delivering a speech in Florida in which he referred to an incident “last night in Sweden” — but he appears to have been referring to an actual, accurate news report, albeit one that wasn’t technically live or breaking.

As soon as the words flew from Trump’s mouth, social media began buzzing with jokes about his “fake news” story about a migrant attack in the historic Scandinavian country. The hashtag, #lastnightinSweden cropped up, warning the world that Sweden might be plotting a takeover, with its pickled herring and its cheap do-it-yourself furniture (see our related article on IKEA Israel!).

Even Chelsea Clinton, whose mother famously made up a story about being shot at by snipers as she boarded a plane in Bosnia, got in on the action.

Trump also managed to baffle Sweden itself, which responded by asking the Trump Administration for any inside information they might have about a recent attack in their country.
But Trump may not have been wrong – at least, in terms of subject matter. Friday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson interviewed documentarian Ami Horowitz about his upcoming film about violence involving migrants in Sweden. Horowitz claims that the Swedish government is downplaying an uptick in violence that followed a wave of refugee migration into the country.

During the segment, Carlson showed contemporary clips from the documentary.

…As for Sweden, Ami Horowitz’s film shows a country that is deep in denial about a growing problem of migrant violence – including a sharp uptick in rape over the last five years. Horowitz claims that the increase correlates directly to Sweden’s refugee acceptance program; the country has taken in more than 190,000 Muslim immigrants in the same time frame.Sweden, Horowitz says, is hiding the truth about its situation, and the Swedish people want their country to adapt to the migrants, rather than requiring the migrants to adapt to Sweden.

    Also the Swedes are waking up. You can read again and again that the Sweden Democrats – who are claimed to be far right wing – have around 30% at least in polls. It is not before 2018 that there will be national votes in Sweden, but there is still hope for them.

      A friend of mine was for a long time responsible for advising parliamentarians in Sweden how to manage the police. Two years ago, he started thinking of emigrating to Norway. He left his civil service position and opened his own security company. He is tough as shit: ex SF. He is not optimistic about Sweden’s chances. Like all police he is a Sweden Democrat.

        Nice people, those Swedish police. They collect wages and benefits to protect communists and Muhammadists, then pretend to oppose the communists’ and Muhammadists’ agenda for Sweden. So, like all American police, too, the Swedish police are oily turds who are revered only by imbeciles, buffoons, and morons.

      No, they aren’t *waking up”. Instead, a few of them are begging like little children for mommy-daddy government to protect them from the effects of that same government’s rottenness. The Muhammadiats should organize punishment squads to reward the Swedes for their incorrigible degeneracy.

      Mortimer, you took the thoughts right out of my head!! Facts are facts, and the decent folks of Sweden are in mortal danger.. Some may see this, just by looking out at their streets now days. I just watched on OAN news the riots by Muslim invaders. Of course, the usual looting, burning the police cars. I am sure the women of Sweden who are now fearful to even go out on the streets of Stockholm would agree with Pres. Trump… Let us hope when the time comes to vote a hard liner into office, they heed the call to self preservation and vote with their kids future in mind.

    I have a high school classmate who married a Swede and has lived in Sweden for more than 25 years. She said that when she first moved there, crime was practically non-existent. However, in recent years it has been on the increase. She told me that many Swedes just go along with everything that the government does although I spoke to her Swedish son-in-law who is quite upset over the Swedish immigration problem.

    With regard to Trump, he should have been more clear about the Swedish situation, but he was absolutely correct about the migrant problem in that country.

      Feb 21, 2017 at 10:09 am

      My young niece married a Swede in 2013, lived in Stockholm and recently moved to Copenhagen. I fear for her and keep praying they move to the US.
      With regards to Trump’s less than precise description of Sweden…just like the “immigration issue” that touched off a firestorm w/ his initial campaign speech, so too this Sweden dust up has finally shed a spot light on what is happening in Sweden which has been off the radar screen. Trump takes the blows from the Left Stream Media yet, he successfully opened the dialogue on the issue of the Islamification of Europe and migrant rapefugees which WE, who read jihadwatch are all aware of, but totally unknown to the rest of America due to a Leftist news Black-Out. The Islamic invasion of Europe is just like the Nazi threat and anti-Semitism in pre-WW II Europe. How many European refugees will want to get out of Europe due to IslamoNazi occupation?

    The many successive stories from Sweden that have appeared on JW clearly show a formerly peaceful and civilized country now dealing with an epidemic of assaults, rapes and street violence as well as numerous “no-go” areas for police.

    I wish Trump could more accurately articulate the facts instead of giving the media opportunities to nit pick his statements. This, like his poorly organized travel ban, only reinforces those who wish to portray him as over reacting to what is a very real threat to the US.

    • Moa says

      Feb 20, 2017 at 1:09 pm

      I don’t think you understand Trump’s tactic. Making a contentious statement that the media can jump on as ‘false’ gives massive coverage to the actual issue. The media are being played like a violin and they cannot see it, nor can most people.

      Now Trump has made people aware that all is not right in Sweden then people will start paying attention.

      Trump is brilliant in this regard – and has used this tactic again and again and the media simply cannot see through it.

      • Jon Sobieski says

        Feb 20, 2017 at 2:07 pm

        I hope yuo are right that Trump is intentionally vague in his statements rather than being more precise. I’m just not sure. You are definitely right that the media takes the bait every time guaranteed.

      Fool that travel ban was Obama’s ban. Those lefty fanatics would always oppose Trump even if he said that fire burns.

  6. Moa says

    Feb 20, 2017 at 1:07 pm

    All the people thinking Trump’s ‘mistake’ was unintentional don’t understand Trump’s brilliant tactic. Trump seems to INTENTIONALLY put out a contentious statement which the media will go into a frenzy over as false. But what happens is that with the increased coverage the media is highlighting the problems of immigration in Sweden.

    Trump has used this several times and the media fall for it again and again.

    It was the same when Trump said the media didn’t cover jihad attacks. The media went apoplectic and began listing all the coverage they had done, making Trump’s point about why immigration control was needed.

    The media, and most people, cannot see Trump’s tactic. But they fall for it every time.

    Everyone who underestimates Trump as ‘stupid’ gets smashed my him. The media cannot see how they are being played like violins because their reaction is so predictable and they are much less cunning than President Trump (I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of saying those two words).

      Echoing Jon Sobieski, Moa, I hope you are right in your assessment of Trump’s Machiavellian scheme (and I use the term “Machiavellian” here not pejoratively at all but in a laudable sense), but even if Trump was simply wrong about his “last night” comment, it does nothing to invalidate his much larger truth, which Leftists galore in the political realm, the media and academia are attempting to hide (or lie about to themselves), that being that Sweden has huge problems precisely because of the twin idiocies of political correctness and multiculturalism, entirely inventions of the Left, and which has allowed the criminally moronic immigration to Sweden in far too many thousands of adherents of the worst religion ever created by man.

      Sweden right now is serving as a test case for how to destroy a country from within. A sterling test case indeed of what not to do. And how fitting, telling and damning it is that the Left is still in denial of all this and think someone like Trump is the problem. Getting something more ass backwards would be deuce difficult to “achieve” but the Left has “managed” it.

    • davej says

      Feb 20, 2017 at 5:43 pm

      I cannot see how it helps the cause when Trump states one narrow fact that can easily be refuted the next day, when he could have referenced any number of actual attacks which can be easily confirmed and documented. It give the incorrect impression that he doesn’t know what he is talking about, which is what the media is pushing.

      • Wellington says

        Feb 20, 2017 at 6:14 pm

        One mistake by a conservative is a calamity, but numerous mistakes by a liberal (e.g., Obama referring to the “57” states, describing “Austrian” as a language, confusing Memorial Day with Veterans Day, stating, quite incorrectly, that Abraham Lincoln was a founder of the Republican Party, et al.) is glossed over.

        Understand, I do wish Trump would make no misstatements about facts, but I’m addressing here the despicable double standard which is one of many reasons decades ago I ceased being a liberal and became a conservative. Have never looked back since.

    • Arthur says

      Feb 20, 2017 at 9:07 pm

      I wouldn’t have thought of this, but now that you mention it I think you are likely right. After all, Trump has been interacting with the media (TV news and shows) for a very long time. He certainly managed to keep himself at the top of the news pages throughout his campaign which won him the primary and the election. None of his competitors did as well. I’m sure that wasn’t luck.

      I will watch more closely from now on!

      • Arthur says

        Feb 20, 2017 at 9:14 pm

        This reminded me of a story about a kid with really thick glasses that got taunted and bullied at school.

        The kid was called “retard” and mocked by his classmates. As he sat alone on the playground, other kids would come up to him and lay out a penny, nickel, and dime and tell him, “Hey dummy, which one do you want?” The kid would always take the nickel. The mean kids would laugh and ask, “Why did you take that?” The kid would answer, “Because it’s the biggest!”

        This went on for weeks, the bullies would repeatedly bring over new kids to be their audience as they taunted the ‘dumb’ kid. Finally, the teacher came over and said, “You know that the dime is worth more than the nickel. I’ve told you this many times. Why do you keep taking the nickel?” To which the kid replied, “If I take the dime, they will stop giving me money.”

        Perhaps Trump, in his news ‘inaccuracies’, is expressing this kind of genius over human nature.

    That is if Sweden can reduce its fatal affection for “political correctness” to a sane approach in keeping its peace, and begin to consider its own Nordic Swedes. They have been reduced by a neglectful , weak,government to a status below Islamic rapists and otherwise criminals.

    The deceptive main stream media doesn’t want to expose Islamic terror. I think they know what is going on in the European countries, France, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark,Italy, Austria, Switzerland,…but they will never identify the perpetrators of terror. Only in extreme case when they have no choice and their lies can be caught easily they will identify the Muslim terrorists. But if they can get away without mentioning Muslims they will do it. At the same time all European governments are with the media in the conspiracy of not pointing out Islamic terror attacks!!

    The filmmaker Ami Horowitz (in Fox News clip) is absolutely correct. Anyone who doesn’t stick their head in the sand, isn’t prepared to be a hypocrite, and expresses an opposing view to the politically correct one, is immediately ostracized and stigmatized in Swedish society. People here are indoctrinated and ill informed to a truly frightening degree. Tarring, feathering and burning at the stakes of those who have the indecency to have “incorrect” opinions doesn’t seem a long way off the way things are going.

    There are few things to hope for in Sweden that might change things.
    – One is that international pressure will result into a change of policies.
    – Secondly that the only opposition party working hard for a change will win the election in September 2018. However seems not possible to get 50,1 to 51%. Only a miracle could result in such a win. It got 12,8% last election. Polls showing between 16-28% now.
    – Then there is the hope of change of policies wthin the parties holding the majority of 87%. Seems impossible too. Some change, maybe 10% only.
    – Or a coalition between the only real opposition party and one or two others. Seems also impossible for the moment. The majority parties blaming eachother for having the same policies as the only opposition party.

I told some people who are avid CNN viewers about how Western Europe is being slowly destroyed by crimes committed by rogue refugees. They didn’t believe it and told me I was overreacting.Every big city has criminals. I sent them some you tube links. Still they thought it was bogus fake news since CNN didn’t report it.

It’s time to turn them all off. I have found at least I can get some news on BBC America. i.e. they can go 5 minutes without saying the word Trump. Man I thought they hated George Bush but this hatred of Trump really takes it up a notch.

      Recall (it was CNN newscaster)- for debate 1–CNN official was also DNC official- gave Clinton the questions- and she had an earpiece.

      THEN, the moderator asked Clinton a question- and she went bonkers trying to answer- and if you saw the clips (unfortunately not released until after the election)- she screamed at the woman who gave her the questions, and threatened to have the moderator fired.

      I don’t watch television (and especially not CNN, but Fox at times-like this afternoon) seems almost as bad-so don’t know if the moderator was fired.

      The moderator, by the way, is a card carrying liberal Democrat.

    The USA always published little what went around in the World.I lived for a few years in the US and it felt like I was cut of from all the news outside the USA. I loved it here though, but now….. I can’t believe that you do not know that most European countries are almost lost already. Haven’t you seen how Europe is almost destroyed and the atrocities and how the governments try to keep everything under the carpet, they have become policestates but against their own people. I can give you lists of a hundred of viedeo’s where you can see it all. They get everything the “DEMAND” there is Sharia law everywhere, muslim men have 4 wives and so many children. A lot of them do not work, and all the thousands of newcomers from Somalia, Ethiopie, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India Philippines Bolivia, from every country you can think of and all because they are livid that the states entered Irak and we Europeans went along with you, so it is pay up time and the whole world has to come to their fate, or else.But this is a very violate religion. But I guess your news stations do not want to show what is happening over there. And they are facts, you can see what is happening everywhere. They are teaching Islam already in schools and put the hate into children for anything that is not Islamic. Children of 6 years old tell you that they can kill jews and you very easily. What will happen with the minds of them
    when they grow up, hate, hate, hate.
    No governments is listening, All the answers are “politically incorrect” We will see what”political correctness” will bring us.
    I wonder what everybody is thinking and not speaking out, or is it, that they are all afraid and they better go with the people they think will cry “victory” and submit to put on their long dresses and change their
    faith. What do people think? really? Is it fear, is it stupidity? Or putting their head in the snd and hope it will all pass? But I think or for myself know, it will not and the end is, that nobody wins and everybody loses. It’s always the case with ego’s and liars and people who commit conspiracies. I really do not know anymore…..

      Well said Irene! The sad part is when people here in U.S refuse to believe that these crimes are being committed in Europe. They think all is well and fair everywhere. They never bother to watch the videos you mentioned. Are the readers on JW the only sanest people on earth !

        They look at MSM and what they want to see– the picture of the young refugee on the shore. But really it isn’t impossible to see at least some of the atrocities happening. For some reason people don’t want to know. I think they’re afraid of being called a bigot. But it still doesn’t make sense to me.

          Go back a few years.

          1. The “poor Syrian boy” about 6 or 7 (if I remember correctly) who drowned when the boat he was on, fleeing Syria, capsized and before he could be rescued. False. Child died of natural causes.

          2. (This was used time and again by Anal Pore International (AP); Reuters/Yahoo News; etc.

          Little boy killed in (all were used) Lebanon; Gaza; West Bank; from Israeli bombs; in Syria & Iraq- American and/or British bombs. Same picture- same child; same father.

        It’s also sad when much of Sweden denies the problem. They see nothing wrong with slowly turning their country into a muslim hellhole.
        Mosques popping up everywhere is not a good sign for Western culture and western values and traditions.

    It would appear that the internet is alive with self-righteous statisticians who are making out that there’s been no increase in the Swedish rape rate since 2008. Now, it would appear that ‘rape’ in Sweden encompasses a wider range of sexual assaults than in most other countries, so does anyone have the statistics on ‘assault rapes’, which, if I remember aright, are almost entirely committed in Norway by non-Norwegians. Has there been an increase? Are assault rapes in Sweden committed disproportionately by non-Swedes? Has the rate been falling because Swedish women are staying home? Is there a source of information that isn’t going to be branded ‘right wing’ or ‘anti-Muslim’ that will help us, or do we just have to live with two alternative versions of reality from identifiable ‘sides’ and decide which side we trust?

    • Kay says

      Feb 21, 2017 at 12:51 am

      There should be some statistics available–also on gang-rapes, which were almost unheard of before these Mohammedens came to the West.
      But there has been so much effort to keep migrant crime secret.

    The Swedish people SHOULD adapt their culture to suit the migrants. The Swedes need to return to their Viking roots. The Swedes were once raiders, and muslims are still raiders. Put on your horned helmets, grab your battle axes and broadswords, and go pillage a no-go zone.

    “Trump the idiot” they would tolerate, even enjoy (making fun from). What they cannot stand is that he does not give them an inch and immediately fights back. No PC BS, “walking on the shells” around “mighty” media but full attack, as they in all honesty fully deserve. I don’t recollect any incident in the history of previous presidents who would do just that. Bravo, Mr. President! You are on the right track. Proof? They despise you. It cannot be simpler proof than that.

    What the liberal media cannot tolerate is this:

    That President Trump can see right through their little pro-Islam scheme, liberal elite turning a blind eye to crimes committed in the name of Islam and the Quran, their defense of people whom they insist on calling “Freedom Fighters”, anything anti-American.

    And if the liberal elite is not careful, President Trump will ship them out to Syria where they can live with their “Freedom Fighters.”

    As a regular visitor to family members in Sweden, I can give eyewitness testimony to the truth of reports detailing a huge increase in urban crime and disorder, especially over the past 10 – 15 years.

    Many women have had their lives blighted by serious violent sexual assault, often by multiple perpetrators, whilst public service personnel have a torrid time if they wish to enter danger zones with high concentrations of immigrants. Police enter only when this is absolutely unavoidable, and only then in strength, as they are immediately assailed. These are areas where emergency care and fire service personnel are also routinely attacked, so almost never enter. I have witnessed some frightening incidents myself, and seen the devastating consequences of a gang rape on the niece of a close friend of mine.

    Migrants from muslim countries are mostly responsible for this phenomenon, and everyone knows it, too, but the far-left government severely censures all factual and critical exposition of the facts, and you will find yourself in very hot water if you openly criticise. You will in all likelihood lose your job, which explains why so many Swedes who have real concerns remain silent. Many, however, are totally unwilling to abandon the left’s obsession with ever more immigration, whatever the consequences.

    After Trump’s speech, Harvard historian Simon Schama was super-quick to tweet ;
    “130,00 refugees (more correct was “migrants”) NO terrorist attacks.”

    You may have seen this guy on TV – he’s the one all flailing arms, with neck jerking back and forth like an amphetamine-charged pigeon chasing down crusts. Effetely vicious in speech, ugly as a gargoyle, and insufferably arrogant.

    Note how he misquoted Trump, who never used the word “terrorist” in relation to Sweden, he was merely pointing out the very negative effects indiscriminate mass immigration have had on Sweden. (So much for “false news”.) I imagine that when the President referred to “last night” he was referring to some TV programme which had referenced the Swedish situation; the confusion doubtless arose because of his tendency to use a sort of “stream of consciousness” mode of speech, which can be, at times, a little offputting) Not all the ill effects of mass immigration are due to ISIS-style attacks, which merely represent the worst. But the regular drip-drip effect of gross violent lawlessness take a terrible toll societally. Anyone with a brain bigger than a lentil can appreciate that, but the point goes whizzing by Schama’s head, as usual.

    You would think he would take pause before rushing to virtue-signal, given that his own people are having a truly terrible time in Sweden. The anti-Semitic speech and behaviour of immigrants has reached such levels that many Jews, seeing that the situation can only get worse, have already left the country, with doubtless more to follow.

    The media, (in my view)not only in the US but in Europe as well.

    How many (in almost any MAJOR OR EVEN MINOR METROPOLITAN AREA) report all crimes all of the time?

    Few, has been my experience. (In small towns and villages, the opposite).

    BESIDES WHICH- SWEDEN IS A DECENT SIZE COUNTRY. Pres. Trump did NOT say Malmo or Stockholm. He said the country in general.

    There probably was a rape or two or three and a few robberies in Malmo over the weekend.

    ———————————————————————————————————————————————

    Another point.

    Trump might PURPOSELY be throwing out these off the wall tidbits, so the media gets into a frenzy about this– and meanwhile he does what he wants to do, on important matters, while the media, is concentrating on he nonsense.

    brilliant strategy.

    And, the media lies, anyhow

    They can mock all they like. But the fact is Trump has put the spotlight on Sweden, and that is a good thing. And any independent thinker might be inspired to do their own digging on Google. They would soon find a mountain of information of a rising migrant crime wave. Even the BBC noted Sweden was the “Rape capital of Europe”, and dig a little more any you find those attackers are mainly migrants.

    Of course the MSM was so dishonest in claiming Trump had said a terror attack had “occurred last night”, he never mentioned a Terror attack, but everyone else except the media gets it.

  29. Robert Brooks says

    Feb 21, 2017 at 5:30 am

    But what I cannot understand is how any “news” show could actually not know this? We here have known this for years. malmo?
    There was a related video that a journalist had put on the ‘net. he was being interviewed on cnn. The bozo commentator constantly denied/disputed just about every one of the journalist’s facts/findings. Even when on film.
    Leftist news seems to have very little to do with reality but is mostly about their agenda. Hell, they still can’t accept that Trump is the pres…………….
