Russia threat? Or jihad? Sweden distributes ‘be prepared for war’ leaflet to all 4.8m homes

May 22, 2018 7:00 am By Robert Spencer

“The publication comes as the debate on security – and the possibility of joining Nato – has intensified in Sweden in the wake of Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and recent incursions into Swedish airspace and territorial waters by Russian planes and submarines.”

Is Sweden really worried about a Russian invasion? Or is it much more likely that Swedish authorities are preparing their people for the civil war that is likely to come as a result of their reckless, feckless, suicidal immigration policies? Which is more likely: Russian invasion, or internal insurrection by Muslim migrants? The latter seems to be a much more imminent threat. If Swedish authorities don’t realize that, they’re whistling in the dark.

“Sweden distributes ‘be prepared for war’ leaflet to all 4.8m homes,” by Jon Henley, Guardian, May 21, 2018:

The Swedish government has begun sending all 4.8m of the country’s households a public information leaflet telling the population, for the first time in more than half a century, what to do in the event of a war.

Om krisen eller kriget kommer (If crisis or war comes) explains how people can secure basic needs such as food, water and heat, what warning signals mean, where to find bomb shelters and how to contribute to Sweden’s “total defence”.

The 20-page pamphlet, illustrated with pictures of sirens, warplanes and families fleeing their homes, also prepares the population for dangers such as cyber and terror attacks and climate change, and includes a page on identifying fake news.

“Although Sweden is safer than many other countries, there are still threats to our security and independence,” the brochure says. “If you are prepared, you are contributing to improving the ability of the country to cope with a major strain.”

Similar leaflets were first distributed in neutral Sweden in 1943, at the height of the second world war. Updates were issued regularly to the general public until 1961, and then to local and national government officials until 1991.

“Society is vulnerable, so we need to prepare ourselves as individuals,” said Dan Eliasson of the Swedish civil contingencies agency, which is in charge of the project. “There’s also an information deficit in terms of concrete advice, which we aim to provide.”

The publication comes as the debate on security – and the possibility of joining Nato – has intensified in Sweden in the wake of Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and recent incursions into Swedish airspace and territorial waters by Russian planes and submarines.

The country has begun reversing military spending cuts and last year staged its biggest military exercises in nearly a quarter of a century, as well as voting to reintroduce conscription and unveiling joint plans with Denmark to counter Russian cyber-attacks and disinformation….

    Just a diversionary/denial tactic – European leaders are desperate to avoid being held accountable for what they’ve done to their own societies, and yearn for the certainties of the past: They’re looking to the “Cold War” like a child looking for an old teddy-bear.

    Robert Spencer rightly asks if Swedish politicians are still delusional about the jihad threat.

    The Swedish police have recently spoken out about the uncontrollable crime explosion that the migrants have brought.

    The Swedish voters continue to vote for parties that promote the gravy train and migration by unassimilable Muslims.

    Sweden currently is 8% Muslim. When the figure reaches 10% Muslim or higher, Sweden’s crime problem will be even greater and perhaps citizens will have to defend themselves.

      Swedish politicians are delusional a**holes! This is nothing but a diversionary tactic to hide their huge incompetence as islamist invaders take over their country. Sweden has the highest number of no-go zones for the police, infidels and even for fire fighters and ambulances!

        They already are at war, and on one hand are in denial over it, while on the other hand they are waging it themselves with their own people. They prosecute their own citizens for telling the truth about the horrors of sharia law and the like. It is one of those countries that has turned on its own people. We see so many of them now in the West. Like a body that turns against its own immune system, the country turns on those who tell the truth and warn, making them the enemy that is targeted for elimination. That is what happens just before the immune system dies and the illness takes total control, with no defenses standing in its way. (Same thing is happening in the church at large and in many areas of life.) If the watchman with the trumpet warns of an invading army to protect the country, instead of getting prepared, they shoot the watchman who warns of coming danger. Things don’t tend to go too well after that……

    Always make the best in a crisis, and create one if there is none.

    Would the concept of Russia coming be even more upsetting to the muslim settlers?

    The militarization is costly, so the benefits to young non working immigrants and families will be slashed.
    The choice is to join the army, much precision marching, long cold hikes and training.

    Surely for their safety they should be evacuated first! 😉

    Point out how Russia takes no nonsense about muslims.

    The Russians are coming! 😉 and put out and recycle those “welcome signs,, whoo hoo. 🙂 shhh…….

      One trick of the globalists is to use a manufactured ‘crisis,’ and then use it to obtain the results they want, like sculpting their goals out of a lump of wet clay, their ‘solution’.

    • Save Europe says

      May 22, 2018 at 9:17 pm

      Actually Russia has a massive problem too!! The largest Muslim population in Europe AND 25-40 percent of its military personnel are Musllim. Fact!

      • gravenimage says

        It is true that Russia does indeed have a big problem with Jihad.

      May 22, 2018 at 9:57 pm

      “Lydia Church” You are right and I was writing with tongue in cheek about making and using a crises, as the current Swedish feminist government want to sell out everything to islam.
      How ever it does seem if there is ever a change of government, it would be a good tactic to try, to get the trains returning fully laden back to Europe, with those given priority evacuation and with little bloodshed. 😉

      “Save Europe” I know Russia is going to have a major problem in the future.
      Will muslims wait long enough, for their demographic numbers to become superior, before showing their hand?
      Interesting to wonder who’s hudna in Grozny and the Chechnya wars will be times up, plus the returning ISIS fighters. Can a lid be kept on that simmering pot.
      Would Putin again be able to put the problem down again.
      I think the ordinary Russian, Cossack, etc. will be not be as blinded PC & MC relevancy feminist, etc., that a very strong and to the point ruthless bloody reaction will occur.

        Good lord, what crap. The claim that there were no Christians in Russia until the end of the Soviet Union is ludicrous. Ever hear of the Russian Orthodox Church?

        Christianity has been in Russia for centuries.

    Russian invasion will be good for Swedes – may wake them up and bring them back to their Viking roots…all-in-all the first Russian kingdoms in Kiev (now Ukraine) were founded by Vikings (called Varyags at the time). It is for sure will stop islamization of Sweden and send all muslims back where they belong…

    • Save Europe says

    This must be baffling and bizarre for many in Sweden, getting these vague and scary bait-and-switch-type messages from their government.

    Seeing on a daily basis the scourge of islam in their streets, and feeling the fear from it, which must be palpable; then getting this distracting stuff out of left field about Russia.

    What a farce!

    What could Russia possibly gain by invading Sweden? More muslims? Russia already has too many of those.

    • Save Europe says

      Correct! You’re one of very few whom are aware of the Muslim threat in Russia.

    A desperate, pathetic & treacherous attempt by the Swedish government to distract it’s people with straw man tactics. Claiming the threat is from Russia. When in fact the invasion of their nation is well underway. By misogynistic, theocratic, totalitarian, racist & violent Islam. The biggest threat Sweden has ever faced in it’s entire history. Brought on it by it’s own government. And it’s already infiltrated every corner of the nation. Without a single bullet being fired. Sweden’s political classes & ruling elites should be tried for high treason. Not commended for being proactive in trying to protect their nation from the current bogey man of the west & Europe. Russia. That Russia is placing troops along it’s borders & monitoring any threats headed it’s way, is no surprise, since they don’t want Islamic incursions being launched at it from across the border. Made potentially possible by the imbeciles in charge of Sweden. Russia knows Islam. And it want nothing to do with it. They’re not stupid like Sweden, Germany & Britain. They’re not interested in a forced collective genocide of their own people, for the sake of diversity. Because apparently, that would be their only ‘strength’.

    An absolute disgrace. Sweden’s Leaders allowed these animals into their country and now have the utter gall to send out pamphlets forewarning their citizens’ of a potential Muslim uprising.

  9. Matthieu Baudin says

    May 22, 2018 at 11:02 pm

    What do mainstream Swedes have to rally around? A ruling elite that has been busy at work systematically stripping women and men of their identities, letting in masses of cultural aliens with the intent of ‘improving’ the social mix. If a foreign power was in fact probing for weaknesses to exploit in the fabric of Western Europe then Sweden would be a standout candidate for exploitation and manipulation.

  10. MTMLA says

    May 23, 2018 at 12:50 am

    I read this news this am. I thought, how pathetic. The elites know the enemy IS inside already but blame the Russians for a possible invasion in order to deceive the public. They want to build the military, reinstate constriction, all to prepare for the Russian Boogeyman…all lies to the public. In my view they know they are about to have a civil war and want to get ready for it…I wonder who is going to join the military..the police officers are quitting in large numbers…it’s chaos and will have bad results..

  11. Terra Nova says

    May 23, 2018 at 5:40 am

    This is almost funny, you don’t open your mouths, let everything go and then you make leaflets for the citizens to PREPARE FOR WAR? You did it all yourselves, good luck and don’t bring other countries in it.

    I think you got warnings enough.

  12. patriotliz says

    May 23, 2018 at 7:14 am

    But Sweden has already surrendered to the greatest threat to their freedom…IslamoFascism.
    Military defense is useless.
    Swedes will live in dhimmitude, forced to convert to Islam or be killed.
    A Russian invasion would have been better option for Sweden compared to IslamoFascism.

    This is akin to the “Russia-collusion” BS spewed by the American mainstream media, which is nothing more than a simple distraction from the fact that the Democratic party is completely corrupt and self-serving (which is why they lost in 2016).

    Crimea was never “Ukrainian”.
    Khrushchev’s transfer of the province to “Ukrainian” administration was purely formal and did not mean anything for the population.
    After break up of Soviet Union Crimea wrongly became a part of Ukraine, but people continued to speak Russian.
    Crimea was not occupied by Russia, it was liberated by Russia completely in accordance with the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the population.

    So annexation of Crimea does not in any way signal Russia’s aggressive posture against other countries. Not annexing it would have been a betrayal of their own people.
    The European and American hysteria about Crimea is artificially created by the weapon industry investors and is made possible by the abysmally poor journalism.
    I journalist studied a bit history and geography before writing their articles, perhaps the articles would be less idiotic.
