Tino Sanandaji
You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict the future.

You go to cities like Malmö, Sweden's third city.

They are 20 years ahead demographically.

That's what the rest of Sweden is going to be, and Sweden is taking more immigrants -- more refugees -- than UK, France and all the other Nordic country combined.

0:22

And at the same time, Sweden has in the OECD the largest gap in employment between natives and immigrants.

It is literally the worst country in the world in terms of getting immigrants integrated into the labour market.

The central problem of Sweden is that these facts are not openly discussed.

0:43

The right -- the political right, the left, and the media, they have formed an iron cartel to basically censor negative facts of immigration and to, sort of, highlight positive spin on this issue.

And, you know, for a Swedish academic or a politician or a reporter go on TV and say the figures I have reported, that could destroy their career and, at any case, that would cause a huge amount of social reprisal.

1:19
Interviewer

Before you continue, why, if they're facts?

Tino Sanandaji

This has deep historical reasons.

And the historical issue I would argue is that when immigration -- refugee immigration -- for Sweden started in the late 1980s in large numbers, there was huge race -- violent -- aggressive racist backlash.

So, you know, this is another paradox about Scandinavia.

The Scandinavian countries are quite peaceful, but in terms of racist murders, they top the world.

And the Swedish elite -- again, the left, the right, and the media -- they formed a counter-movement to quell racism.

And if the politicians and the media can claim that immigration is good for the economy, that it's not causing unemployment, it's not causing social problems, then they easily win the debate, right?

So then they cheat.

2:15
Then they just create this, basically, public lie that things are going great, we have minor problems, but it is basically beneficial.

So the sort of spin has become a reality to them.

And given that they believe that, when they hear someone say these negative pessimistic numbers, they assume it can't be true because it that were true, why isn't everybody saying it on TV.

You know, the social truth wins over the factual truth.

7:07

But I would understand this if there was a plan.

So, OK, let's lie for a -- or white lies for a while -- until we solve this problem.

The thing is though, the problem isn't solving itself.

It's just slowly becoming bigger and bigger.
And I have to say that the level of speech oppression that they have achieved to completely [censor?]  without any real laws -- at least it's not Iran, they don't put you in prison if you say these numbers.

[ Economic & Social Consequences of Addressing Facts]

What they do is, you may get fired or half your friends are going to remove you on Facebook.

It works.

So academics -- you know, these facts are well known by economists, for example.

But economists are generally silent.

What benefit is it for you if you're a blonde, blue-eyed Swede to go and say, yeah, immigration is really bad for the economy.

Then you're saying the same thing as those skinheads, right?
So then maybe you're one of them?  Maybe you're racist?  Why else would you be saying that?

I mean, even in New York Time, had an article where it was shocked about the so-called 'consensus' in  Sweden; how there was a sort of wet blanket over the debate.

3:56

Interviewer

It's like an irrational immigration cult.

Tino Sanandaji

Yes, I would say it is sort of an anti-racist cult.  That's what it is, so you know--

If you want to sort of 'psychologise', Sweden is one of the most secular countries in the world, OK?

They've lost their moral grounding -- and they're elitist, in particular -- are aggressively anti-religion, right.
But people, of course, need some sort of spirituality, morality, some values.

And, instead, their values are 'anti-racism,' so they created this alternative reality for themselves where it's the 1930s and they're the guys fighting Hitler.

And, you know, if somebody says 'immigrants have high unemployment' -- some of them genuinely think, yeah, that's what Hitler said.

They don't know what Hitler said.  They don't understand that.

And, if you want, you can perhaps find an explanation in the lack of values and people fill it up, then, with something else.

5:01

Interviewer

It's a religious substitute.

Tino Sanandaji

Yes.  That's what it is.

It's a quasi-religion, yes.

It's a secular religion.
5:09

Interviewer

So what is the future of all this?

Tino Sanandaji

In the short-term, they're just going to continue.

And we have the projections, that the record levels that we have now are going to accelerate even further.

In the long-run, my guess is that this is going to collapse.

Interviewer

When you say 'collapse,' what comes to your mind?  Economic collapse--

Tino Sanandaji
[interjects]

-- in Sweden?


Interviewer
[cross-talk]

--social unrest?  Yeah.

Tino Sanandaji
Adam Smith said that there's a lot of ruin in a nation.

By that he meant that nations can take a lot of beating without collapsing.

Sweden will never collapse, OK.

What's going to happen if this continues is just a gradual deterioration in social-economic outcomes, mostly [??].

5:53

Interviewer

So what is the mentality?  Is it NIMBY -- 'not in my backyard' -- that as leaders of Sweden we're going to bring all these immigrants in because it makes us feel better, but they won't be going to our kids' schools?

Tino Sanandaji

Yes.
So among Swedish politicians there was -- one of the Swedish newspapers had a survey -- one percent (1%) of them live in the areas where there is a lot of immigrants, and those [ie resident 1%] are typically immigrants.

I mean, that just tells you -- you know, that just tells you something about those people, right, the elite -- which is this is multiculturalism for voters, but not for me and my kids.

If you really think multiculturalism is good, why don't you go and live there?

The fact that you don't live there, that almost none of them live there, almost none of them send their kids to school there, shows that at the human level, at some level, they understand that it is not working.

And these politicians -- some of them -- know.

I mean, I talk to high-ranking politicians sometimes.

Some of them know what's going on, that this is unsustainable, and that basically, Sweden is slowly going towards a cliff.

CBN: Malmö, Sweden: 
Growing Muslim Influence

2009 CBN: Malmö, Sweden: Growing Muslim Influence
Duration:  5:42

TRANSCRIPT
[for quotation purposes, confirm audio]
Narrator
Sweden's third largest city, Malmö, sits just across the water from Copenhagen, Denmark.

To visitors, Malmö seems quiet, nice, maybe a little boring.  In other words, quintessentially Swedish.

But under the surface, Malmö has serious problems.

On Saturday when Israel played Sweden in a Davis Cup tennis match in Malmö, an estimated 6,000 (six thousand) leftists, Arabs, Muslims and anarchists protested the Israeli presence in the city, and many attacked police.

Almost no fans were allowed inside to watch the tennis series because authorities feared disruptions or violence.

Massive immigration has made Malmö today one-quarter Muslim and stands to transform it into a Muslim majority city within a few decades.

One of the most popular baby names is not Sven, but Mohammed.
Pork has been taken off some school menus.

Want to learn to drive?  Here's Malmö's own Jihad Driving School.

And despite Malmö's usually placid appearance, this experiment in multiculturalism has not gone well.

This is the Rosengård area of Malmö:  a housing project where the radicalisation and crime have exploded, and fire and emergency workers will no longer enter without police protection.

[Rosengård built between 1967 and 1972 as a part of Million Program. White flight since 1974.  Inhabitants of immigrant  background --  86% (2012) - here  Million Program -- public housing programme implemented by Swedish Social Democratic Party 1965-1974 -- appears to be high-density public housing -- here]
1:17

Immigrant unemployment in Rosengård is reported to be 70% (seventy percent).

An immigrant-fuelled crime wave affects 1 (one) of every 3 (three) Malmö families each year.

The number of rapes has tripped in 20 (twenty) years.

And the crime wave has only accelerated a Swedish version of white flight from the city.

Malmö has been so accommodating toward immigrant Muslims that a local Muslim politician and Imam has even declared that the best Islamic state is Sweden.

But don't ask Malmö's Jews to give the city the same glowing assessment.

Jews who dare walk the streets wearing their yamulkas risk being beaten up.
1:55

Lars Hedegaard
International Free Press Society

And it's true, Jews cannot walk in the streets of Malmö and show that they're Jews.

Narrator

Lars Hedegaard lives across the water from Malmö in Copenhagen, where he was a columnist for one of Denmark's largest newspapers.

He says peaceful pro-Israeli demonstrations in Malmö, like the ones during the Gaza war earlier this year [2009], were met with rocks, bottles and pipe-bombs from Arabs and leftists.

2:22
Lars Hedegaard
International Free Press Society

I was there for a demonstration -- a pro-Israeli demonstration with four (4) or five (5) hundred people; Jews [and] non-Jews -- and I came over to cover it.

The police allowed these, say, one hundred (100) Palestinians or Arabs, to shout and threaten, and throw bombs and rockets at us.

A home-made bomb landed about ten (10) yards from me, went off with a big bang, and I thought:  well, now the police, of course, was going to jump these guys to get them out of the way

They didn't.

They just let them stand there.
2:57

Ted Erkeroth
Swedish Democrats Interl Adviser

I filmed the Police Chief and asked him why are they not reacting to this, why they're not doing anything.

And he simply answered:  it's their right according to the Swedish Constitution to be there.

We apparently did not have the same right because we were first [???]

Narrator

Swede, Ted Erkeroth, helped film the Arab-left counter demonstrations.

He saw Arabs throwing rocks at a 90 year old holocaust survivor.

Hopefully, you can show some of the clips from our manifestation for Israel, which is always peaceful and always with a message of peace, and theirs, always the quite opposite:  death, hate, and killing of Jews.
Narrator

And like all over the Western world, Arab and Muslim immigrants, along with some leftists and anarchists, have formed a political alliance against Israel and Jews.

They demonstrate together, and in Sweden they vote together.

Muslims and Arabs are a core constituency of the left.

The immigrant issue is a big reason the right-wing Swedish Democrats are the fastest growing political party in the country.

Matthias Karlsson is the Swedish Democrats press secretary.

4:06

In may parts of Sweden people are, as I said, fed up and they're getting pushed too far and they want to make a stand.

Narrator

But the Swedish Democrats who stand for traditional Christian values and limits on immigration have been stigmatised by the Swedish media as fascists and bigoted.

Erik Almqvist
Swedish Democrats

The media has tried to portray us as extremists, racists -- we're almost inhuman.
Narrator

Erik Almqvist, national youth leader for the Swedish Democrats, faces regular death threats and was almost killed recently in a left-wing knife attack.

Erik Almqvist
Swedish Democrats

The multicultural system in Sweden has polarised the society.

We have an ethnic polarisation.  We have, also, a political polarisation.

Narrator

Hedegaard says, as Malmö goes, so goes Sweden.

Lars Hedegaard
International Free Press Society

I think the best prediction is that Sweden will have a Muslim majority by 2049.

So we know where that country's going.
Narrator

CBN news was unable to get a response from Malmö's mayor Ilmar Reepalu, but he told a Swedish publication he does not think anti-Semitism is greater in Malmö than in other Swedish cities and said that harassment of Jews is 'not good'.

[Other:  March 2012 -- Ilmar Reepalu claimed the Jewish community in Malmö was infiltrated by the Sweden Democrats.  His statement was characterized as anti-Semitic by, among other things, Lena Posner Körösi, leader of the Jewish Central Council, and Hannah Rosenthal, White House special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism.  Wikipedia / Swedish to English translated]
CBN News asked a number of Jewish leaders to appear on camera to discuss anti-Semitism, they all declined, with one saying it would only make the situation worse.

Violent riots engulf Stockholm suburbs
Husby Riots in Stockholm

Reporter

Sweden could be paying a tough price on its policies on immigrants and multiculturalism.

A Stockholm suburb erupted into violence for a few hours, as crowds of angry massed youths from migrant families burned cars, smashed windows, and hurled stones at police officers.

What's believed to have fuelled the riot was the death of a sixty-nine year old, allegedly shot by police in the area last week.

So to discuss how the mood might be changing in the heart of Scandinavia, we're now joined live from the Swedish capital by Marc Abramsson, who's Chairman of the National Democrats party.

Mr Abramsson, thanks so much for joining us here on RT to discuss this.

Well, we normally have, you know, the image in our minds the image of Stockholm as a very calm, placid city. 

So how surprised were you to see those riots?  I mean, angry youths setting cars and buildings ablaze?

0:55

Marc Abramsson
National Democratic Party

Thank you.

Well, I was not that surprised anymore.

But this is fairly new to Sweden and this is a clear consequence of this multiculturalism politics that Sweden adopted around the 80s, and increased it in the 90s, and we are now seeing these problems;  that this politics is not working.

And we have seen this -- this is not a unique one single occasion, we have seen this in Gothenburg, in Malmo, several times, and even in the city where I am an  elected councillor in Södertälje, in  Rona [municipality in Stockholm County, east central Sweden], we have these ethnic-based riots against Swedish authorities.

So this -- I wasn't surprised, but we have seen this in Western Europe.

It's very sad, and I think we'll see more of this if we don't change the politics in the future.

5:43

Reporter

Well, let's take a look at this particular neighbourhood, and it's 80% (eighty percent), immigrant residents.

And the trouble flared after police killed an elderly man there.

I mean, obviously, these people feel they're not protected by the police.  Don't they have a right to be heard?

Marc Abramsson
National Democratic Party

Well, I think that the problem beneath this -- it can be different things -- this time it was this man that was arrested and resisted and was killed.

We have other things that happened in other places.

But the main reason is that they don't identify themselves with the Swedish society or as Swedes, but their own ethnic group, they live in their own area, and they feel the area is their own, and when the police arrive, they feel that the police are intruding into their, sort of, country, if you would like.

Reporter

So how did that happen?  I mean, what led to that? 

Sorry for interrupting you. 

But what led to that, I mean, how did they -- sort of their neighbourhood or the community where they live turn into a sort of ghetto type dwelling there. 

I mean, what about the integration policies, is the government doing anything at all to integrate the immigrants?

Marc Abramsson
National Democratic Party

Yes, I think that Sweden has been trying harder than any other country in Europe to try to push for integration, where we invested virtually billions into it of taxpayers' money. 

We've tried everything that the scientists have presented and, still, it's not working.

And the problem -- the core here -- is that these people don't identify themselves as-- they identify themselves as their own ethnic group, and accede to the interests of their group.

And with the second generation, it's even worse, because they are between the Swedish society and their parents' society, if you would like to.

And it's clearly not working. 

It's not working in Sweden, it's in France, or in the United States.

This is something we'll see more of, and I don't think it's solvable to integrate this huge influx.

If it was just a couple of people, of course.

But what we have in Sweden today is an immigration stream that is so huge that we have no roof, where there's nothing that says we'll accept this many, or we can accept ten thousand (10,000) or a thousand (1,000), but it is unlimited.

And that is basically -- I think this is really why this is escalating, because they want to live with their own people, their own ethnic group.

They seek actively to live with their own group.

So they concentrate themselves to these areas, and then they feel like their have their own little town in Sweden and they don't accept or identify with the Swedish authorities and this is just getting--

We have seen this for several years coming up with police cars:  when they do work in these areas they have to be two cars, one protecting the other, when they're working in these areas. 

People are trying to maintain builds, have to have guards -- security guards. 

The fire department can't work. 

We've seen this in Malmo when they get attacked by angry immigrant youths that feel like they're intruding into their own area, even when they're trying to help.

And this is basically-- it's not about bad or good people.  It's just a consequence of this politics.

And what we would like to see, instead, is safe havens.  That we help people their own countries or in neighbouring countries--

5:28

Reporter
[interrupting]

I understand, Marc, unfortunately we're running out of time.

We have to leave it there, but thanks for talking to us here at RT and letting us know what you think on this issue.'

That was Marc Abramsson, the Chairman of the National Democrats party [Sweden].
