Swedish police officer tells man ‘go home you Arab b******’ in racial abuse caught on tape An investigation has reportedly been launched into the incident
Alexandra Sims, Lizzie Dearden

Journalists from local newspaper Barometern interviewing Nobakht Ahad after the incident YouTube
A Swedish police officer is being investigated after allegedly telling a man ejected from an asylum seekers’ centre to “go home you Arab b******”.
Officers were called to the Hotell Amigo, which houses asylum seekers in Emmaboda, south-eastern Sweden, following reports of a fight at the establishment on Tuesday.
The man, named Nobakht Ahad by local media, claims the officers called to the scene verbally and physically abused him, removing him from the hotel and transporting him to a forest several kilometres away.
In an alleged recording of the incident one of the police officers can be heard shouting: “To hell with you, you f***ing lunatic. Go home, you f***ing Arab b******. Go home to your f***ing country.”
Barometern, a Swedish language local newspaper, interviewed Mr Ahad in the forest following the altercation.
He told the paper: “They were heavy handed, kicked me in the side. One took a hard object and hit me in the head. Blood gushed.
“They called me things. I thought, this can’t be Swedish police, they cannot treat me that way.”
Barometern’s report states Mr Ahad was “terrified”, had a “gash on his head” and “complained of pain in his ribs”, when he was found by reporters in a forest near a motorway exit to Emmaboda on Tuesday evening.
In a video of the interview, Mr Ahad appears to have blood dripping from the top of his head.
Mr Ahad says he is not a resident at the hotel and had been invited to the centre for coffee. He has captured a recording of the entire confrontation.
On Wednesday, police said they has opened a criminal investigation against the officer who made the racial statement, according to Swedish national broadcaster Sveriges Radio.
The officer, who remains unnamed, is reportedly suspected of unlawful threats, insults and assault.
Anders Danielsson is the current Director General of the Swedish Migration Agency, which is under the Justice Department.
Previously, Daneilsson was head of Sapo (Swedish security police - here), also under the Swedish Justice Department.
1980 - Master of Laws 1982-1984 -- Police Chief training -- Reservist 1990-1991 -- Superintendent Sapo 1992-1997 - National Crime Investigation Dept -- training FBI (1993), several months, USA 1998-1999 -- Director Police Bureau National Police 1999-2002 -- Director Police Bureau National Police, Devel & Strategic Unit 2002-2007 -- County Police at Police Authority in Skane County 2007-2012 -- Director General of SAPO
What I found interesting is that Anders Danielsson would have been head of Sapo right at the time that Julian Assange, publisher WikiLeaks, would no doubt have been a target of Sapo, Carl Bildt (then Foreign Minister of Sweden), the FBI and the US State Department, in 2010.
Daneilsson underwent FBI training of several months duration in Virginia, USA, in 1993, and as head of Sapo, presumably, maintained good relations with his American counterparts over the years. What is unexpected and very intriguing is that Danielsson is a friend of Carl Bildt's brother, Nils Bildt, dating back to his reservist UN evacuation of Cyprus days:
Nils Bildt, entrepreneur, lieutenant colonel and friend since reservist training (brother of Carl Bildt):
"Anders is such a friend that you can call around the clock and without the need to specify what terms he will. He is incredibly reliable. Now I feel that he is the weight of the seriousness of the situation, but occasionally there is a twinkle in his eye, the little bus to arrive. We've had a lot of fun together."
So, this is a very interesting Swedish hothouse of cross-over relationships: American and Swedish security and other relationships; Sapo and FBI; Justice Department and Sapo; Justice Department and Swedish prosecutor Ny; Justice Department and Swedish lawyers; Sapo and then Foreign Minister Carl Bildt etc.
Imagine what Daneilsson must know about the shifty Swedish goings on in relation to the US State Department's determined hunt for Australian journalist Julian Assange. Please leak Anders Danielsson. xxx ;)
Speaking of shifty: check out Bodström, Säpo & Mossad
Written Question 2002/03 1044
Security Service and the Mossad
June 3
Question 2002/03 1044 Gustav Fridolin (MP) to the Minister of Justice Thomas Bodström Säpo and the Mossad
The Security Service report for 2002 can read the following:
"In 2002, the Security Service conducted a continued monitoring of groups and individuals in Sweden who are likely to commit violent acts because of the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Until spring 2002, Palestinian groups in Sweden generally manifested their loyalty by demonstrations and fundraisers . During the spring of 2002, however, a change when pro-Palestinian demonstrations in some cases turned violent. Säpo's investigation shows that it was not dealing with organized violent actions, but rather about individual movements. In 2002, the Palestinians carried out a numerous terrorist attacks against Israeli interests in Israel and the Palestinian territories, and SAPO guard with cooperative security and intelligence services development in order to prevent any such attacks internationally. "
The Israeli intelligence service Mossad, according to several analysts one of the world's most ruthless organizations and has conducted many of the extrajudicial executions by the Swedish government hard criticized.
I would therefore ask the Minister of Justice if the Minister is able to illuminate if there is an organized collaboration between the Swedish security police and the Israeli Mossad.
Got curious about Sapo & Mossad and came across the above 2002 parliamentary question.
It's difficult to work out what the question is. Did Gustav Fridolin, Member of Parliament, ask the Swedish Minister of Justice Thomas Bodström to disclose whether there is a collaboration between Sapo and Mossad to conduct extrajudicial executions in Sweden?
While this is really shocking, we shouldn't be surprised if it was happening.
Generally speaking, states are lawless. Sweden is definitely known to be lawless. And Israel was founded on assassinations (including one in Europe), so Mossad conducting assassinations would just be carrying on the Israeli national traditions.
Check out what this site has to say about Thomas Bodström:
The intermingling between government, prosecutor Ny, and the ‘accusers” law-firm Borgström & Bodström
... intermingling between the Swedish police officer, taken the declaration of her friend and party comrade AA ...
Mr Thomas Bodström, member of the social democratic party, is the Swedish former minister of Justice identified as main collaborator with the CIA renditions of political refugees from Sweden that occurred during the government of Göran Persson. At the time of their case against Assange, Thomas Bodström was a permanent resident at Virginia, U.S. There, in his blog Bodströmsamhallet (Bodstrom’s society), he proudly announced that his law firm defended the plaintiff against Assange (see down below).
Mr Claes Borgström, then member of the social democratic party, was a government-appointed Gender ombudsman ... also known in Sweden for his claims that “all men carry a collective guilt for violence against women”.
"This woman accuser, AA, also an active member of the Social Democratic Party, was at the time the political secretary of the organization “Brotherhood” (now renamed “Religious Social Democrats of Sweden“), [9] integrated by the group of Christian social democrats where former Minister Thomas Bodström was highest ranking member after the ex PM Göran Persson – the U.S. (and Bush’s) friend, according to their own declarations."
Bodstrom, Borgström & Ny
Marianne Ny, Thomas Bodström and Claes Borgström participated in the same governmental consulting team set by the Swedish government for the formulation of new sexual-crimes legislation.
With the time, has Claes Borgström himself felt obliged to acknowledge that he – previously to their initiation of the ‘Assange case’ – has worked together with Marianne Ny in a governmental committee and that he has met her also at a workshop on genders issues. [7]
Regarding the ‘expert-assignment’ prosecutor Marianne Ny received from the part of the Swedish government, it is noteworthy to mention that this assignment was still going on at the time she decided to open a case against Mr Assange – times that overlap, as we wrote before, with the period in which the U.S. government requested the countries participating in the military occupation of Afghanistan to open a prosecution against the founder of WikiLeaks.

Bush’s hatchet man: two biographies of Karl Rove
Bush’s Brain and Boy Genius
By Joanne Laurier 19 July 2003
Both volumes are muckraking accounts of Rove’s career, but despite their varying levels of criticism, the journalist/authors cannot help but express admiration for him. At various moments, it becomes clear that the authors measure Rove by the standards of contemporary American culture: Rove is a success, a “winner” and not a “loser,” no matter how unattractive he is as a personality and political type.
Bush’s Brain begins by claiming that Rove is “something grander” than a presidential advisor. “His influence marks a transcendent moment in American politics: the rise of an unelected consultant to a position of unprecedented power,” which may “raise” constitutional questions. The book’s authors describe Rove as the “co-president of the United States.” This is a remarkable assertion, but even more remarkable is the failure of the authors to grasp that the rise of an unelected consultant takes place as the consequence of the rise of an unelected president! Rove’s prominence is one expression of the quasi-Bonapartist character of the Bush administration.
“Cabinet appointments were vetted through him [Rove], judicial nominations crossed his desk, as did the details of a proposed energy bill, administration policy on stem-cell research, steel tariffs, and health care policy. Nearly every speech was shown to Rove before it was delivered,” asserts Boy Genius.
This wide portfolio is all the more significant because Rove seems to have little interest in the substance of policy, outside of its impact on maintaining political office. He rose through the ranks of the Republican Party as a career political operative, concerned mainly with the process of manipulating public opinion to produce a desired electoral result.
While ahard-core right-winger, Rove is not a product of the Christian fundamentalists, the neo-conservatives, the Southern racists or other factions of the contemporary far right. He comes from a slightly earlier, but equally foul, political tradition—the McCarthyite red-baiter.
Born in Denver in 1950, Rove grew up in Colorado, Utah and Nevada. Beginning his political career as a die-hard Nixonite (from age 9), Rove “escaped the Vietnam draft, but loathed everything those anti-war protesters on TV stood for,” according to Boy Genius. “I came from a relatively conservative state, Utah, and it was hard to sympathize with all those Commies,” proclaimed Rove.
After dropping out of college, Rove’s first foray into dirty tricks campaigning was in Illinois in 1970.
The notion that Bush is unchallengeable, a quasi-mythical being, is patently absurd and, more than anything, demonstrates the political outlook of these supposed critics. The temporary success of the Bush-Rove team has less to do with their innate strength than with the historic collapse of liberalism and the prostration of the Democratic Party. The current crisis arising from the exposure of Bush administration lies about Iraqi “weapons of mass destruction,” whatever its immediate outcome, demonstrates the fundamentally narrow social base of the present regime and its inherent political weakness.
Bush’s eventual victory was only due to the machinations of the Republican Party on election night and in Florida in the subsequent weeks, a conspiracy in which Rove was centrally involved, culminating in the anti-democratic ruling by the US Supreme Court that shut down vote-counting.
To help his clients win office, Rove conducted “whisper wars”—a genteel way of saying slander campaigns—against political opponents. Whispers of homosexuality in the Texas state government purportedly undermined the gubernatorial campaign of incumbent Ann Richards in her unsuccessful 1994 fight against Rove’s client George W Bush. The same tactic was used in the 2000 GOP primary against John McCain. Rumors were circulated that McCain, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, had become mentally unhinged as a result of his imprisonment.
Although Bush was Rove’s premier asset—“the keys to the kingdom”—the latter maintained a list of private business clients who paid for his political advice. Among them was tobacco giant Philip Morris, which hired Rove to provide “political intelligence.” Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and Angolan anti-communist guerrilla leader and mass murderer Jonas Savimbi also paid Rove to lobby for them.
The authors of Bush’s Brain produce material that underscores the fact that for the first time in modern history a president attained office through outright criminality. Documents released by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) some 19 months after the election reveal that the Bush team flew an estimated 250 operatives to Florida to disrupt the vote recount. Dubbed the “Brooks Brothers Riots” (after the upscale clothing worn by the disrupters), a successful effort was organized to stop the recount in Miami-Dade county of the estimated 10,000 “undervotes”—ballots for which no presidential choice had been registered by the original machine count.
The authors of Bush’s Brain contend that “Rove represents a new species of advisor,” a “product of the permanent campaign, the co-president, whose relationship with Bush, and his faithful guidance, have put him at the heart of power in a manner unknown to previous political consultants and U.S. electoral history.” But Rove must be placed within the appropriate political context—the takeover of the Republican Party by semi-fascist elements from the Christian right. He represents the rise of political gangsterism in the Republican Party, and his current political “success” is the product of the alliance of these forces with the Christian fundamentalists, for which he has been a leading facilitator.
In general, the authors elevate Rove’s role at the expense of other members of the Bush administration, such as Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Both books tend to exaggerate his significance in order to avoid a more probing analysis of the present government and the political and social crisis in America.
Nonetheless, the ascent of this right-wing mediocrity, whose only apparent skill is manipulation and deceit, to the highest levels of power is telling. It is one expression of the decay of bourgeois democracy in the US and the degeneration of the ruling elite as a whole. In the final analysis, semi-criminal elements like Rove come out of the woodwork to attempt to rescue, by any means necessary, a fatally diseased American capitalism.
Richard Phillips: Can you comment on the latest details of the United States grand jury indictment and what happens if you’re extradited to Sweden?
Julian Assange: The new evidence that emerged from the Stratfor files—emails from a Texas-based private intelligence agency—show that the US government has obtained a secret grand jury indictment against me. The US ambassador to the United Kingdom, Louis Susman, stated in February 2011 that the US government would wait and see what happened with the current Swedish extradition case as to whether it would pursue extradition itself.
The US ambassador to Australia [Jeffrey L. Bleich], one week prior to Obama’s recent visit, also told the Australian media that the Australian government might have to consider its extradition obligations in relation to me, presumably in case I returned to Australia. And while WikiLeaks has many of its people under legal attack, the organisation itself is also under an extra-judicial financial blockade. There are some 40 people who have been swept up in operations by the FBI, Scotland Yard or other police forces.
... Even if we are successful in the Supreme Court, the situation will be similar because the United States is likely to unseal its espionage charges through the grand jury and apply directly for my extradition from Great Britain.
RP: Do you have any detailed information on direct collusion between Britain, the US and Sweden over your extradition?
JA: What we can say publicly is that on December 8, 2010, the Independent newspaper published a report about informal contacts that were already occurring at that stage between the US and Sweden in relation to my extradition. The Australian embassy in Washington also sent a cable to Canberra round this time, stating that the US intelligence and criminal investigation into WikiLeaks was of “unprecedented scale and nature.” It also said that the criminal prosecution in relation to me was “active and vigorous”. That material was the result of a Freedom of Information request and printed in the Sydney Morning Herald a few months ago.
The UK crown prosecution service has also refused a request under the Freedom of Information Act in relation to communications over potential extradition arrangements, stating that it would affect Great Britain’s diplomatic relations with other countries. In the middle of last year, the UK’s extradition reform panel, which was appointed by the home secretary, met with Eric Holder, the US attorney general, and a number of members of the Defence Department in the United States. In addition, there have beenother recent meetings between Carl Bildt, the Swedish minister of foreign affairs [and close friend of Karl Rove], and William Haig, the UK foreign affairs minister.
RP: Can you comment on the role being played by Australia’s Gillard government?
JA: The reaction by the Gillard government to WikiLeaks activities, in particular our release of the US diplomatic cables, was publicly the worst of any nation. Gillard falsely stated that our organisation was engaged in illegal activities. This was found to be false by an Australian Federal Police investigation.
Together with the attorney general, she initiated a “whole of government task force” against WikiLeaks, recruiting the Australian Federal Police, the external intelligence agency ASIS, the domestic intelligence agency ASIO, the defence department and the attorney general’s department. Publicly, Gillard has not issued a single statement of support and we are not aware of any private support.
The US government is trying to erect a new interpretation of what it means to be a journalist. It wants any communications with a source to be viewed legally as a conspiracy. In other words, it wants journalists to be completely passive receptacles for others. But this is simply not how national security journalism has been traditionally done. If they succeed, it will be the end of national security journalism in the West as we know it.
These attacks on us have also been picked up by other countries and used to legitimise their own crackdowns. For example, two Swedish journalists are currently being jailed in Ethiopia. They were investigating a Swedish oil company by the name of Lundin—Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildthad previously been a director of the company—but have been sentenced to 11 years jail in Ethiopia on terrorism charges. The Ethiopian prime minister says that it is perfectly acceptable to treat journalists this way and has pointed to my circumstances as justification.
The issues facing WikiLeaks are entirely political and therefore a matter of public concern. My message to people everywhere is: do not wait until WikiLeaks is bankrupted or its members extradited to the United States before acting. It will be too late then. If people act strongly now, then the organisation will succeed. WikiLeaks has a lot of support and we’re battle hardened now. We’re not going down without a fight and if everyone pulls together then we will win.
Rove Suspected In Swedish-U.S. Political Prosecution of WikiLeaks
EXTRACT
Rove has advised Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt for the past two yearsafter resigning as Bush White House political advisor in mid-2007.
Legal Schnauzer blogger Roger Shuler scooped me on the story about Rove's Swedish work in a Dec. 14 column, "Is Karl Rove Driving the Effort to Prosecute Julian Assange?" But a big part of our role as web journalists should be following up on each other's work.
Shuler is an expert on how Rove-era "Loyal Bushies" undertook political prosecutions against Democrats on trumped up corruption charges across the Deep South, including against former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, his state's leading Democrat. The Siegelman case has turned into most notorious U.S. political prosecution of the decade, as readers here well know. It altered that state's politics and improved business opportunities for companies well-connected to Bush, Rove and their state GOP supporters.
Is Karl Rove Driving the Effort to Prosecute Julian Assange?
EXTRACT
That Assange's legal troubles would originate in Sweden probably is not a coincidence, our source says. Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt has been called "the Ronald Reagan of Europe," and he has a friendship with Rove that dates back at least 10 years, to the George W. Bush campaign for president in 2000. Reinfeldt reportedly asked Rove to help with his 2010 re-election in Sweden.
On the hot seat for his apparent role in the political prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, Rove sought comfort in Sweden. "When [Rove] was in trouble and did not want to testify on the three times he was invited [by the U.S. Congress], he wound up in Sweden," our source says. "Further, it was [Reinfeldt] that first hired Karl when he got thrown out of the White House.
"Clearly, it appears that [Rove], who claims to be of Swedish descent, feels a kinship to Sweden . . . and he has taken advantage of it several times."
Why would Rove be interested in corralling Julian Assange? To help protect the Bush legacy, our source says. "The very guy who has released the documents that damage the Bushes the most is also the guy that the Bush's number one operative can control by being the Swedish prime minister's brain and intelligence and economic advisor."
PM's Biographer Sees Rove Influence In Swedish Politics

George W. Reinfeldt: The art of making a political extreme makeover
Dr. Brian Palmer of Uppsala University in Sweden provided an illuminating interview on the Jan.13 edition of my Washington Update radio show regarding the influence of Karl Rove on Swedish politics as an advisor to the governing Moderate Party.
Megeve: Boris Nemtsov was a truly fearless political fighter with strong convictions and a confidence that the ideals he stood for, sooner or later, would win and form a better Russia. [Oh, please. Spare us the 'high ideals' propaganda and put away the violin.]
He was murdered most likely to silence him. His critical and clear voice was uncomfortable for the strong and dark interests which unfortunately means more and more in today's Russia. [We don't know who murdered him. Guy was a womaniser by the look of things, so it could even have been some crazed boyfriend. But what we do know is that the Kremlin is unlikely to knock off a minor player, ahead of a protest (near the Kremlin), so that the likes of McFaul & Bildt can have a media field day.]
And there were probably actually no other way to silence Boris on. Others let themselves might be intimidated - it did not work on him. [The motive is an assumption. Not fact. We don't know why he was killed.]
When he occasionally arrested for participating in a demonstration declared illegal, he spent time in jail for spreading their beliefs and information to the police and guards. And had, as far as I remember he told me, considerable success with this. [Does Bildt express the same care-factor for the Swedish protesters that were charged at by mounted police? Or is it just some minor Russian opposition puppet that's worthy of the subsequent, and convenient, Western media hype?]
We got to know each other first in the Russian democracy birth in the early 1990s. He belonged to the leader of the Democratic Party which then were set up and became the reform policy leading carriers. Along with Anatoly Chubais, he was its leading force.
And then we had contact.
In recent years, he has almost always been to spend an autumn weekend in Visby, along with friends from Europe and the United States of Jarl Hjalmarsson Foundation's annual meeting. His crystal clear analysis of developments in Russia has been important to many of us.
In one little book after the other, he with difficulty been distributed across Russia, he has gone on the attack against the regime's lies and its corruption. A small writing the other year on the luxury and splendor that surrounds President Putin was extremely unpopular in the Kremlin.
He was a friend of Ukraine since years back, albeit not by the regime Yanukovich there. And when the militant nationalism was trumpeted in connection with the aggression and the takeover of the Crimean a year ago he was one of the voices that stood up for Ukraine's right. [Instead of crying about 'aggressor' Russia inciting 'righteous' Ukraine nationalism (and therefore Russia being responsible for Ukraine aggression, which is alluded to as apology for murderous neo-Nazi Ukraine thugs), why wasn't this 'liberty loving' crusader protesting the murder of his independence seeking compatriots - the ethnic-Russian majority civilians in eastern Ukraine (which, by the way, is historically Russian - hence 'Novorossiya').
Edit: On subsequent reading of the 'friend of Ukraine' and 'militant nationalism was trumpeted in connection with the aggression' blah blah blah 'takeover of Crimea', it looks as though I have misunderstood whose 'aggression' and 'militant nationalism' Bilt was referring to. Talk about twisting facts and history to suit oneself. Crimea is Russian. Novorossiya is Russian. And probably most of what has become 'Ukraine', post Soviet era, is historically Russian.
'Russian' 'militant nationalism' and 'aggression' is Russia stepping up to protect people in Crimea from the consequences of having murderous neo-Nazi thugs running amok and potentially subjecting Crimeans to (historically CIA fostered and Nazi collaborator fomented) neo-Nazi militant nationalism and hostility; thugs that were associated with the Ukraine puppet politicians and were supported by the US interlopers, because they're useful idiots.
Furthermore, Slavic peoples of Europe have been divided by enemies who have exploited useful idiots who foster regional loyalties and separatist identities, rather than pan Slavic nationalism, because 'divide and conquer' is an effective take-down strategy.
Why wasn't Nemtsov denouncing the West for backing the puppet Kiev & neo-Nazi murder of civilians?
MILITANT NEO-NAZI AGGRESSON was HARNESSED by the CIA & THE WEST & EXPLOITATION OF UKRAINE NATIONALISM was employed for a thug OVERTHROW of an ELECTED UKRAINE GOVT. But this isn't denounced & the murder of the ethnic Russians in the east isn't denounced. But Russia is denounced?
The only aggression is US-NATO-EU aggression and US-NATO-EU backed aggression enacted by Ukraine nationalist thugs - oddly, in a country run by FOREIGNERS.]
Perhaps it is an irony of fate that he was killed exactly one year after the Crimean invasion launched by special forces early in the morning took over control of the regional parliament in Simferopol. [Russians protecting Crimean Russians (who voted overwhelmingly to INTEGRATE with Russia) is Bildt's idea of an 'invasion'?
Nah, he and the West are just manipulating the narrative to suit their anti-Russian scaremongering, so that Western banking & corporate interest and NATO (strategic interests) can continue to mount their aggression against Russia, while the taxpayer is burdened with cuts to welfare and services, in order to finance more Western military spending and greed-based aggression, serving the interests of the wealthy banking, energy, and hedge fund elites.]
On social media, I see reports that he was now working with a new scripture to expose the regime's lies about the war in the Donbass and how it has been driven and supported by the Kremlin. And it seems very likely. [Social media? Is that all the evidence Bilt and the West have? Gee, it's like all those fake 'Russian army' invading Ukraine announcements we've had over and over and over again. The West is a joke. Seriously. The West might have got away with this when all people had to rely on was maybe a daily newspaper or two, but there's a host of information available and the lies and propaganda the West keeps churning out do more to discredit the West than their targets.]
A new generation has partially managed to take over the leadership of the weak but important Russian opposition, but Boris Nemtsov was always there with and remained a name with distinguished reputation and credibility.
A black day for Russia and Europe. Exaggerating much, Carl? LOL
Of course, Carl Bidlt, the Eurocentric mob, UK politicians, the UK professional political chorus (ex MI6, some humanitarian bandwagon medico and anointed opinion-shaper, a lapdog press etc) and the USA team (Obama, McCain (who was 'heartbroken' LMAO), McFaul and the US ambassador in Russia dashing over for a photo-op) have all jumped on the suspiciously timed & located killing of a minor Russian opposition figure who was insignificant in elections and polls.
McFaul's message still gives me the giggles. Mein Gott, is that a touch of Killary I've got happening?
Guess I'm not the only one suspecting a US hand in the shooting of Nemtsov, just prior to a protest that had been arranged.
Jarl
Hjalmarson Foundation must be Sweden's version of the Freedom House trojan for dislodging those that are not Western puppets and appointing Western puppets in their place, using the guise of bringing 'democracy' to the targets of their exploitation: in this case, women and youths.
The aim in the Baltics was to get a firm hold of the politics and commerce, and to maintain a grip while denying the Russians a stake in the action, in any way possible.
Pretty much the same deal everywhere else, however far-flung. It's about keeping the regions in the sphere of American / Western corporate and military interest influence.
Funny how Bildt refers to the 'regime' and it's 'corruption' and the splendour the guy that got whacked reckons Putin's living in.
How, exactly, is this different to the riches of the 1% puppet-masters in the West, the benefits to their political puppets in Western politics, the fascist control that is capitalist government protecting the interest of those at the top, and the corruption of 'democracy', cronyism and so on that is the political reality of Western 'democratic' regimes?
Oh, and this is what happens to protesters in a democracy (Sweden):
Police spokeswoman Ewa-Gun Westford said
officers on horseback chased rock-throwing demonstrators who were
"causing violent riots" in Malmo, Sweden's third-largest city. Swedish
media published photos of people on the ground as police horses raced
over them down a street.

So somebody is throwing rocks somewhere during this protest and mounted police decide to charge ... right through a crowd of protesters? Riiiiiight.
When not charging over protesters on horseback or belting, capsicum spraying or otherwise abusing protesters, the West also imprisons protesters and does sneaky stuff like giving them bail (on charges they'll never pursue), so that the people charged can be excluded from participating in protests (which is their political right). And it infiltrates dissenters. Check out UK.
Supreme Council of Crimea
Determined: ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych (2014 Ukraine):
i) a coup
ii) interim govt in Kiev therefore illegitimate
Referendum (March 2014) = response to these developments
Result = 96.77% vote (83.% turnout)
Crimea CHOSE: integration of region into Russian Federation
