Sweden: Latest Rape News - Tobias Andersson, YoungSwedes

FEMINIST SWEDEN LATEST RAPE NEWS http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/08/11/swedish-prof-hot-weather-not-rapey-migrants-driving-swedens-place-as-the-rape-capital-of-the-world/ Swedish Prof: Hot Weather, Not Rapey Migrants Driving Sweden’s Place As The Rape Capital Of The World by Tobias Andersson     11 Aug 2016       2,303 Although more well-known for ABBA, Ikea and Avicii, today Sweden’s international image is being tarnished by a much darker reputation: as the rape capital of the Western world. The irresponsible policies of Sweden’s leaders have caused years of suffering for Swedish women. By opening the gates to massive immigration from Africa and the Middle East, Swedish politicians have brought cultures and values in strict opposition to ours. Immigrants raised in societies without respect for women, who see women as possessions whose main purpose in life is to please their husband, have no place in our liberal society. Many male immigrants, when faced with our liberal lifestyle and beautiful women, are unable to control themselves. Our socialistic justice system then rewards them for their lack of control by caring more about the well-being and integrity of criminals than it does about the victims. It should be obvious to anyone how these factors have marked the way for Sweden to become the rape capital of the world, but unfortunately not. For those who need more persuasion, I will draw some examples that have all occurred over the last month in Sweden. Recently, an immigrant from Eritrea who brutally raped and beat a young Swedish girl so badly that she got fractures in her spine received his “punishment.” He will not even be deported. Last month, at a football tournament in Gothenburg, a team from Morocco were kicked out for playing a game of “Taharrush” with some young Swedish girls (or, in other words, collective sexual assault by a group of men in a public place). A wannabe famous football player then wrote an article blaming “the old male attitude”. Unable to see any cultural reasons behind the crimes that had happened. At a festival in Skellefteå in July, sexual assaults were committed at an event where sponsored buses had been provided for asylum seekers. The Swedish establishment couldn’t fathom how the now infamous “Don’t touch” bracelets they had handed out hadn’t protected the girls. Last week, there were several reports of gang rapes but also “regular” rapes. One of which happened at one o’clock in the afternoon, in broad daylight, to a 14-year-old girl. As always, it is obviously a coincidence that some of them occurred close to homes for asylum seekers. Thankfully, someone has figured out why all these rapes are taking place in Sweden. Börje Svensson, a psychotherapist and “an expert on sexual criminals”, was interviewed in one of the biggest Swedish newspapers recently about Sweden’s rape epidemic. His conclusion? The good, hot, summer weather. Providing the perfect reason that absolves the Swedish establishment of all responsibility, Svensson described how we have been a bit unlucky with the weather this year. Hopefully we will have a colder summer next year and sexual crimes will then be an old memory linked to that one hot Swedish summer. If by any chance, there are still rapes during a colder summer, our experts will simply find another scapegoat rather than looking straight at the imported criminals. Perhaps fewer flies, or high ocean levels. Say hello to the mental hospital named Sweden everyone. Tobias Andersson is the National President of YoungSwedes, the youth party of the Sweden Democrats. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/08/11/swedish-prof-hot-weather-not-rapey-migrants-driving-swedens-place-as-the-rape-capital-of-the-world/ COMMENT Thank you Tobias Andersson. Tobias Anderson is right about the 'experts'. The Swedish authorities, the experts, intelligentsia and media are sure to spindoctor attention away from the obvious, always finding some other scapegoat ... just as they do to cover up terrorist attacks. If it's not the 'hot weather', it will be 'mental illness' and if it's not 'mental illness' ... it will be the 'rape culture' of 'rapey' native Swedish men ... if it's not 'rapey Swedes', it will be mere brutal gang-rape 'misunderstanding', which calls for how-to-chat-up Swedish women classes,  sponsored by the hostile state and run by some corporate-sponsored 'progressive' liberal, controlled, NGO playing at grass-roots activism and social 'good' ... handing out trendy plastic anti-ficki-ficki 'special feminist powers' bracelets. We are witnessing the program of destruction of Europeans and of Europe.

Swedish Media Censoring Migrant Crime Stories 16 Years

ꕤ Article SOURCE as marked Swedish Media Censoring Migrant Crime Stories 16 Years Google Translation Swedish to English Reporters angles not to promote SD Published January 16, 2016 at 07:32  |  Sakine Madon Blinds journalists information and news for not favoring SD? The claim is dismissed as tin foil hat theory. But journalists who I am in contact with testifies problems. Jesper Strömbäck, professor of media and communications, said the other day: "The media would cover up any berries in my estimation powerful lure of conspiracy theory." (Summary, 12/1). Sometimes opt out information about news values, he points out. And it is true in general. Meanwhile, for example Skånska Dagbladets then editor Jan A Johansson, the journalist Björn Hagers book "Party Problem", where SD acknowledges that data has been omitted to avoid a "hell damage to society". The other day I asked the question of social media: "You, who worked as / journalists. Have you been part of the editorial staff wanted to downplay or avoid substances because 'can benefit sd'? "Journalists of various ages, men and women, with different backgrounds and from different media, approached him. Those who responded publicly on Twitter gave mostly no answers, they had not encountered it. Those who approached him privately gave a more distressing picture. A journalist who has conveyed the news on integration and immigration for many years expressed that "this subject is super sensitive". There is a younger generation who think black and white, according to the person: "If something the interviewee says complicates the thesis and one's own worldview you cut it out of the story." When the journalist himself has let different voices to be heard, it has led to attacks from other journalists. Nowadays, I am very cautious reports, tell the person. "Can not be bothered to have enemies," is the explanation. Another journalist that contact has been working on a few different media newsrooms. "Before the last election in 2010, when I remember especially a completely bizarre discussion, the reporters at the coffee machine stood talking about 'how should we respond to the Sweden Democrats, we can not take them as an ordinary party" he says. And testifies to the directives from the new boss to "take it easy" when he examines the integration-related topics. The call to be careful recur[s]. One person has been worshiped be there when asked about problems at an accommodation for unaccompanied youths arrived at the speech. Another person reported that a senior colleague with strong political views have stopped reportage about mess at an asylum accommodation. Others describe a caution with the choice of words, of news or signalement [comment:  description] in order not to encourage xenophobia. A journalist who has worked in several major editorial says that in all workplaces has been a spoken or unspoken policy not to promote SD and xenophobia. And remember especially honor the murder of Pela Atroshi: "We did not write a line about it." These journalists are no foil hats. On the contrary, highlights several that most journalists and news executives are honest people. Yet the problem is there. The country's media editorial offices need to consider a lap: we should explicitly be against SD? If not; how do we ensure that journalism was shot? It is easy to shout "conspiracy theory" to any criticism. The harder it is to see their own role in that trust in the media falls, while the SD sites celebrating victory after victory. https://archive.is/agVtX ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT What kind of questions is:  should we explicitly be against SD (ie Sweden Democrats), which is a pro-nationalist and anti-immigration party? Who are journalists to decide whether they will 'back' given political parties or not, and how is this remotely considered the right thing to do? Their job is to deliver information to the public so that the public may make informed choices; and not to decide for the public in advance what is 'good' for the public or otherwise. However, the press does the OPPOSITE of its role:  it DENIES the public information.  And when the press does throw a few crumbs of information at the public, it comes along with truckloads of mind-bending propaganda that most people would not recognise for what it is, because most people do not have the time to widely research every detail of what they are being fed (or the ability, therefore, to pick up what they are being denied) by the press. In this warped Swedish politics, press & intelligentsia world, keeping Sweden open to what (in my view) amounts to a genocidal immigration policy, that has already resulted in various negative social impacts, is considered a positive and resistance to genocidal immigration policy is considered undesirable and 'xenophobic'. It appears the problem of censorship or suppression comes from top down as well as sideways, from colleagues who disapprove and attack those that permit other voices to be heard. The problem of censorship or suppression, of information that the public is entitled to, goes well beyond the censoring Swedish press:  'liberal' ideology and propaganda has permeated all Swedish institutions and is espoused by all mainstream political, academic, media and cultural figures, in what is a hysterical, self-sustaining ideological grip. Just as potential press 'dissenters' (ie those that perhaps might stray in some way to challenge accepted 'reality' or  ideology & so forth) are silenced from above and attacked by colleagues, other professionals are no doubt likewise at risk of suppression and attack, and are precluded from voicing alternate views (were they willing to take the risks involved, and were they given a platform to do so) for fear of the social and economic consequences. Another thing that is not mentioned here is the potential for violent consequences: (a) street riots, which Sweden has already seen in its no-go suburbs of immigrants. (b) the potential threat of individual murder (as well as Charlie Hebdo type attack) from minorities with a custom of threatening the lives of those they do not agree with. If point (b) sounds far-fetched, look at the Netherlands politician Geert Wilders (Party for Freedom) who has 24/7 security due to the death threats:  "Death threats regularly arrive at his office ... " [Newsweek]. Pela Atroshi is an Iraqi Kurdistan female honour killing victim (here). As nothing was written of Pela Atroshi's 1999 murder: which was planned in Sweden by 11 members of her  Iraqi Kurdish tribal clan/family and executed in Iraq after she was lured to Iraq on the basis of arranged marriage the Swedish press has been censoring (ie suppressing) immigrant related issues for at least 16 years, if not longer, given this statement: "And remember especially honor the murder of Pela Atroshi: "We did not write a line about it."" Sweden Pela Atroshi Iraqi Kurdistan - Honour Killing 1999 LINK | Post From the Pela Atroshi article, it looks like the Australian and Swedish authorities' collaboration goes back a long way. ꕤ

Sweden - Immigration

SWEDEN Sweden became the first European country in 2013 to grant automatic residency to Syrian refugees and has since seen asylum requests rise to record levels, which are still expected to reach about 90,000 in 2015. [Sweden] receives the highest number of refugees per capita in the EU and is second only to Germany as a destination for Syrians fleeing the Middle Eastern country's civil war. One in three refugees were found to be receiving financial help from local authorities ten years after their arrival. http://www.thelocal.se/20150305/asylum-seeker-drop-in-sweden-as-denmark-numbers-plummet ........................................................  Segregation between ethnic Swedes and people from foreign backgrounds has widened in the past two decades in some of the biggest towns in Sweden, according to the Dagens Nyheter daily. The three most ethnically divided municipalities in 2013 were Botkyrka and Södertälje near Stockholm, and Kristianstad in the south of Sweden. According to Dagens Nyheter this is because the municipalities have invested in high-rise buildings where the number of people from a non-Swedish background is high, but also has large clusters of detached housing areas, largely occupied by well-off native Swedes. The segregation differential for the capital Stockholm in 1991 was 14 percentage units, compared to 22 percentage units today. In Gothenburg it has gone up from 14 to 25 and in Malmö in southern Sweden from 16 to 22 percentage units. Compared to 1991, segregation has risen the most in Kristianstad, and Örebro and Linköping in central Sweden. The former has seen an exceptional rise, from 6 percentage units in 1991 to 27 today. John Östh, researcher in cultural geography at Uppsala University, predicts the trend will continue. “Seen over a long period, the development could be unfortunate. You make segregation so much stronger. We have a strong influx of people, but don't build as many houses. We, perhaps, aren't even ready to integrate them in school. I am immensely positive to our immigration, but we do have integration problems. Segregation will continue to rise,” he told Dagens Nyheter. http://www.thelocal.se/20150310/segregation-on-the-rise-in-sweden-suggests-survey  COMMENT Despite a significant political movement towards support of limiting immigration, it doesn't look like mainstream Swedish political parties are changing immigration policy (which I believe is related to Sweden's foreign ambitions and foreign policy:  (a) EU membership priority, as well as (b) US foreign policy led priorities). Guess these towns are the immigration issues hot spots: Botkyrka Södertälje Kristianstad Stockholm Gothenburg Malmö Kristianstad Örebro Linköping Ylva Johansson is preparing a new law that would force all regions to take in asylum seekers http://www.thelocal.se/20150205/all-municipalities-should-take-in-refugees EXTRACTS: Sweden’s Social Democrat integration minister Ylva Johansson has announced that she is drafting a new law designed to make sure all regions take in asylum seekers and offer help with jobs and housing. “The distribution is unreasonable. We need to make changes in the law for everyone to take responsibility,” she told Swedish newspaper Sydsvenskan on Thursday. She said that the bill’s core details were still being worked out, but that the main principle was achieving a “more even distribution” of refugees between Sweden’s 290 municipalities. “We need legislative changes to ensure that all local authorities take responsibility for refugee protection,” she added. [...]  The country’s opposition centre-right Alliance bloc, which formed the previous coalition government is also in favour of maintaining Sweden’s open borders and the four parties it includes are working on their own integration policies. On Thursday afternoon the leader of Sweden's biggest opposition party the Moderates, Anna Kinberg Batra, proposed strengthening the requirements for family stream immigrants in an interview with broadcaster SVT. In April 2010 Sweden became the first country in the EU to legislate income requirements for immigrants who want to bring their families to Sweden. But Kinberg Batra accused the law of being toothless.  [What?  It was the Moderate party's law.] The country’s nationalist party, the Sweden Democrats, which won 13 percent of the vote in the last general election in September 2014 is the only party in Sweden in favour of cutting immigration numbers. http://www.thelocal.se/20150205/all-municipalities-should-take-in-refugees ........................................................  It looks like 'family stream' immigrants are further incoming immigrants whose families are already residents. Voters opposed to immigration only have one party to vote for:  Sweden Democrats.  All others are in favour of maintaining the status quo.  Next general election in Sweden should be an interesting one.

Tobias Billström (Moderate Party) - calls Feminists 'a dark force'

Migration minister calls Feminists 'a dark force' Published: 17 Sep 2014 08:49 GMT+02:00 Updated: 17 Sep 2014 09:11 GMT+02:00 Sweden's Migration Minister has said in a Facebook post that both the Sweden Democrats and the Feminist Initiative parties were "dark, gloomy, and destructive forces". In a four-point Facebook status update, Sweden's Migration Minister Tobias Billström of the Moderate Party shared his thoughts about Sunday's election result. "This election has no winners - except for the extremists," he wrote. SD and F! both represent dark, gloomy, and destructive forces that divide the people. They must be fought and met with a discussion of values." Billström's press secretary said the minister was refusing interviews on the matter, but released a statement explaining that the post was on his private Facebook and represented his "reflections on the election loss". http://www.thelocal.se/20140917/migration-minister-feminists-a-dark-force

Tobias Billström = sore loser ... Sweden Democrats hardly 'forces of darkness' -- looks like globalism has outlawed nationalism - #svpol

Billström >> longest-serving Minister for Migration and Asylum Policy in Sweden

Member of the Moderate Party

Billström became Minister for Migration and Asylum Policy on 6 October 2006.

Billström was stationed in the Ministry of Justice, unlike his immediate predecessors, who had been stationed in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

The Reinfeldt cabinet set a new target for the Swedish migration policy after it took office in October 2006, which was to increase the opportunities for labour immigration.

Tobias Billström has promoted that countries in Europe and the world should help refugees from Iraq.  He has emphasized the need for a very strong common asylum and migration policy, and that this could give more Iraqis in need of protection to access this.

In classified documents revealed by wikileaks, Tobias Billström together with Carl Bildt mentioned in their 2007 visit to Baghdad for the American Ambassador Ryan Crocker the Iraqi refugee situation in Sweden, in specific the reports entail the ministers mentioning honor killings and the Swedish opinion of restricting immigration.^.

 ^[Wikipedia]

That wasn't the feminist take-down I'd gleefully anticipated when I saw the headline!

Still good for a laugh.

Billstrom's ridiculous.

Now being anti-immigration is equated with being a 'dark force'?

Billstrom's problem is that he's still pushing the agenda of capitalism & globalism on Sweden and on Europe, on behalf of his imperialist buddies.

That's my take at this point.

Bear in mind, I have only just begun to look at Swedish politics -- so my knowledge at this point is limited.

Sweden - 'Sweden Democrats' / Nationalists on the Rise - High: Immigration, Unemployment

Swedish nationalists rise as influx of Syrian refugees grows By Johan Carlstrom and Niklas Magnusson, Bloomberg News, Bloomberg STOCKHOLM — The Sweden Democrats, a nationalist party that targets deep cuts to immigration, is poised to double its support in elections next month as Swedes prepare for a change of government. Several polls show the party garnering more than 10 percent of votes, enough to ensure that neither the government of Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt nor the Social Democrat-led opposition can win a majority on Sept. 14. Both blocs have refused to collaborate with the Sweden Democrats, even as the electorate tries to drag the group into the mainstream. Support for the party, which came into being in the 1980s following a merger of political movements including a group called Keep Sweden Swedish, has swelled as the country absorbs a growing number of immigrants and asylum seekers from the Middle East. The development casts a shadow over Sweden's reputation as an open society that has regularly topped United Nations rankings in accepting asylum seekers. "We're becoming more tolerant toward immigration, but at the same time there's very strong, broad opposition against our liberal policies," said Andrej Kokkonen, a researcher at Gothenburg University. "The Sweden Democrats have capitalized on that." Sweden expects more than 80,000 asylum seekers this year, after a 70 percent jump in the first six months. Refugees are entering the country at a pace not seen since the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, according to the Migration Board in Stockholm. The government is urging Swedes to take a more compassionate view towards asylum seekers in an effort to turn the xenophobic tide. "I'm now pleading with the Swedish people to have patience, to open your hearts, to see people in high distress whose lives are being threatened," Reinfeldt said in a speech on Aug. 16. "Show them that openness, show them tolerance." Sweden received the most asylum applications per person in the world from 2009 through 2013, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. The share of Swedes born abroad was 15.9 percent last year compared with 11.3 percent in 2000. Immigration rose 12 percent to an all-time high last year. Party leader Jimmie Aakesson, who has sought to reinvent the Sweden Democrats to make it more palatable to the broader electorate, says he wants to cut asylum immigration by 90 percent. A poll done by television broadcaster SVT in May showed 44 percent of Swedes think their country has accepted too many immigrants, up from 37 percent a year earlier. Only 10 percent want a more open policy toward foreigners. Support for the Sweden Democrats has risen to 10.9 percent from the 5.7 percent the party got in the election four years ago, according to a poll published Aug. 18 by United Minds and Aftonbladet. The three-party opposition, led by the Social Democrats, was backed by 46.5 percent, compared with 38.8 percent for Reinfeldt's four-party government, the poll showed. In European Parliament elections in May, the Sweden Democrats won 9.7 percent of the vote, matching a surge across the region for parties opposed to immigration and skeptical toward the European Union. The U.K. Independence Party and French National Front this year became their countries' biggest political groups in the European parliament. Sweden's growing support for its anti-immigration party follows a series of riots that shocked the nation. In Stockholm suburbs characterized by above-average joblessness, Swedes last year watched youths from immigrant backgrounds torch cars during street battles with police. "It's good that they address certain issues that the other parties don't really dare to do something about like immigration but I don't completely support them," said Martin Welander, 20, a business student at Oerebro University. "The other parties have tried to suffocate all criticism of immigration." Erik Wallander, 30, a system developer, describes the policies of the Sweden Democrats as "unpleasant." "People who are unemployed and don't have it so good look for someone that's easy to blame," he said. "It's pretty convenient to point to immigrants." Swedish unemployment is the highest in Scandinavia, even as a report Thursday showed joblessness dropped to 7.1 percent last month from 9.2 percent the previous month. The figures aren't adjusted for seasonal swings. A year earlier, the jobless rate was 7.2 percent. About 16 percent of people born abroad didn't have a job last year, compared with 6.3 percent for ethnic Swedes. Finance Minister Anders Borg said this month developments in Iraq and Syria mean there'll be a "significant" increase in costs that will "hit public finances." Aakesson said in an interview in May that Sweden's "mass unemployment is primarily imported." Immigration risks destroying the welfare state by creating "parallel societies" of people "that don't think of themselves as part of Swedish society," he said. Aakesson is now trying to replicate the success of other Nordic parties set on tightening immigration. In Norway, the Progress Party joined the government for the first time last year while the Danish People's Party has been a power-broker for more than a decade, shaping some of Europe's toughest immigration standards. Even some of Sweden's immigrants have started to question the nation's policies toward outsiders. Enikoe Blixt, 37, a biomedical analyst in Linkoeping who's originally from Hungary, said that while the Sweden Democrats are "too xenophobic," the country needs to be better at absorbing its immigrants. "There should be more of a requirement to learn the language and greater demands on these people that come here to really integrate into society," Blixt said. The goal is "to avoid these people from becoming segregated." http://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-wp-blm-news-bc-sweden21-20140821-story.html

Appears to be a swing to the right.

Anti liberalism.

Anti immigration platform.

800,000 immigrants expected 2014
