Comment: Who believes the Prime Minister’s fairy tales?

Once again Ulf Kristersson beats his chest about the excellence of the current government. Immigration is down, crime is being fought, Sweden is safer than ever, and we have beaten inflation, he claims. But you only have to look around society to see that Kristersson is telling fairy tales.

Kristersson's image of Sweden has very little to do with reality, says Jenny Piper.
This is an opinion piece. The author is responsible for the views expressed in the article.

It feels like a paid advertisement for a mediocre company selling an uninteresting product without managing to reach the customer base when Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson takes possession of DN Debate and once again beats his chest about the excellence of the current government.

According to Kristersson, the country was shattered when the bourgeoisie took responsibility for a country in crisis with high interest rates and inflation, sky-high electricity and fuel prices, serious crime, social exclusion and roads and railways in such a bad condition that people had difficulty getting to work. According to the prime minister, it was a Sweden that had become both poorer and more dangerous.

But when the new government, together with its turncoat supporting party, took office, it was a different story as Kristersson painted a picture of success, claiming point by point that the new government had achieved its goals: Sweden had beaten inflation, we had changed our energy policy, climate policy was entering a new phase, it was becoming harder to be a criminal in Sweden, when Sweden became a member of NATO we became safer, and immigration was falling..

It is enough to look around in society to see that Kristersson is telling fairy tales – all the deep holes in the wallets of us ordinary people created by the recurring high spending that seems to have been put into the system, the welfare society that has been shot in the sack with important social functions that bleed profusely and where there is no money to invest when war in foreign countries is prioritized, a road network and a railway function that is under all criticism, a forced NATO membership that brings us closer to war where the decision-makers have also sold out the country to foreign powers with the help of the DCA agreement with the United States, a constant crawl for Brussels that sucks us and the other EU countries dry, climate hysteria built on lies that must not be questioned that dominate Swedish politics and cost us an arm and a leg and widespread crime where it is clear who holds the baton, to name a few examples.

Incomprehensibly, however, a large part of the Swedish people buy this and think we should feel happy that our politicians are treating themselves while effectively dismantling Sweden.

Comment: Sanctioned environmental destruction

The exaggerated climate crisis

Environmental considerations don't seem to apply to wind and solar power if one listens to the conflicting messages of Swedish environmental policy.

Swedish environmental policy sends mixed messages. The main rule is not to spread toxins or pollute. The main exception is that no environmental considerations may prevent wind and solar power.

These energy sources are advocated by the EU, and as we know, EU law takes precedence over Swedish law. If EU law requires us to hang from trees upside down, then we shall hang from trees upside down.

Since the EU wants us to switch to unsafe wind and solar power from reliable nuclear power, those who oppose this must be convinced – or forced. That also applies to regions and municipalities and their veto power.

The previous government tasked Centre Party politician Ulrika Liljeberg with proposing ways to persuade municipalities to approve wind power projects. Her proposal can be summarized in a single word: bribes.

They should be bought. But it will be expensive. So now comes a new proposal. The new investigator Magnus Hermansson simply proposes that regions and municipalities should lose their right of veto.

He is acting on behalf of the Moderate-led government. This government is so eager to dance to the EU’s tune that it is prepared to override regions and municipalities.

It has no mandate for that whatsoever. But it was not an election issue, neither in the 2022 parliamentary elections nor in the 2024 EU elections. There, such thoughts were discreetly swept under the carpet.

Swedish environmental policy sends mixed messages

But in practical terms, this means that the Moderate-led government may approve and endorse (sanction) energy policies that result in outright environmental destruction. A red-green government with the Green Party would likely do the same.

Both would cite the threat of global warming from more carbon dioxide from human activities as an excuse. But the IPCC’s Scientific Working Group WG1 provides arguments both for and against that more carbon dioxide from human activities would dangerously warm the atmosphere.

WG1 presents the facts of the climate debate, but they are distorted by working groups WG2 and WG3, which study the possible effects of alleged warming and how these should be addressed and managed. This is then summarized in an overly alarmist way for policy makers in the SPM report, which politicians and media take for a scientific report.

The alleged climate threat has become the new Swedish state religion, with the disoriented Church of Sweden and all political parties as eager supporters.

The only way to stop this is for it to go completely off the rails. And that seems to be happening, with massive green losses and an impending energy crisis on the horizon.

Nothing to be happy about but still to be welcomed. Back to Reality!

Comment: Time to crown the next puppet

The new cold war

Ulf Kristersson wants a foreign minister who is a faithful lackey and who, like other Swedish rulers, is willing to obediently follow orders in exchange for personal rewards, favor American interests, and run over the Swedish people and their rights. So it is just a matter of picking and choosing among the representatives at the top of the party.

Whoever Kristersson appoints as the new foreign minister, it is unlikely to be someone who actually serves Swedish interests.
{ $opinionDisclaimer }

SvD writer Olof Ehrenkrona writes today in an editorial about what Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson should demand of the next foreign minister and what expectations he should have. Beyond the writer’s politically correct description, however, it is very easy to make a list of requirements for a Swedish foreign minister

Besides loathing the “main enemy” Russia and the juggernaut Hungary, embracing Israel no matter what they do, standing up for corrupt Nazi-influenced nations like Ukraine with Swedish tax money, being part of the military-industrial complex, and cowering to the Muslim world when they scream for laws that strangle our freedom of speech, the most important quality by far is bending the knee to Washington.

What Kristersson is looking for is a faithful lackey who, like other Swedish rulers, is willing to obediently follow orders by any means and for any reward, as well as to refine the narrative with the help of the controlled mass media to favor American interests, and not to shy away from repeatedly running over the Swedish people, including strangling their rights.

Thus, it is only a matter of choosing from the top of the party, where the candidates are already lined up, ready to continue to maintain Sweden’s reputation as a subservient state.

Comment: Mass media vaccination frenzy continues

The criticized covid vaccinations

Over the summer, the establishment media have gone to great lengths to scare the population with alarms about new “more contagious” covid variants. The many high-profile cases of vaccine side effects and deaths may have awakened some people, but the majority seem to continue to believe the lies.

The fact that the spread of covid-19 has increased during the summer has been a long-running story in the Danish media and now the Swedish media is also starting to focus more and more on the message.

The “alarm” that was initially dismissed as the virus is here to stay and we have to learn to live with it and deal with it like any other rampant infection, has now turned into warnings with built-in admonitions.

Now the public is being scared again with new, more contageous sub-variants of the coronavirus thought to be behind this summer’s increase, while experts point out that the peak has not yet been reached.

The fact that the vaccination campaign will begin in mid-October, as previously decided by the Ministry of Health, is probably just a coincidence.

Vaccinate more

Infectious disease specialists note that immunity to the new variants appears to be short-lived, and that people can become infected with covid-19 only a few months after a previous infection, which is something we will have to get used to and which may affect the protection provided by vaccination. Previously, it was estimated that one vaccine dose would protect for 6-9 months, but now it is concluded that we seem to be moving towards a situation where the protection is more short-term.

The Gothenburg area is identified as one of the more affected areas for covid spread, but according to the head of the Emergency Development Center at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, it has not had a major impact and the hospital’s inpatient care has only noted individual cases of covid where most of the patients had underlying diseases, which was the pattern even during the so-called pandemic, although it was quiet about that particular bit.

A caveat is added, however, that the elderly and people at risk are encouraged to take booster doses of covid vaccine, which are said to be updated from the original doses, as the virus is constantly changing. Finally, we are told about the country’s vaccination coverage and how it has dropped significantly even among these groups.

Socially dangerous corruption

Indirectly, people are encouraged to be vaccinated more often to maintain “protection” now that “immunity” to the new variants is proving to be short-lived, even though it is now widely known that the vaccines do not prevent people from becoming infected and sick.

The recurring cases of vaccine side effects and deaths among celebrities and ordinary people alike, especially the many elite athletes who have died suddenly in recent years, may have awakened some people. However, the majority still seem to be buying into the lies.

It’s crazy that they can keep up with the recurring vaccination campaigns year after year, but as long as there’s money to be made and people to be fooled, the cycle will be endless.

There should be a term – like the Military Industrial Complex, which refers to the close cooperation between the military sector, defense contractors and politicians – that corresponds to health care, which should be scrutinized because the close cooperation between the health care sector, pharmaceutical companies and politicians is a danger to society and a source of widespread corruption.

Comment: The wacky ‘woke’ trend reaches new heights in the UK

In the UK, health authorities have now ordered doctors performing CT and MRI scans to be more 'inclusive' - even asking biological men if they are pregnant. It's all very disturbing, and fingers crossed that Swedish bureaucrats won't be 'inspired' to introduce similar guidelines here.

Published 15 August 2024

The politically correct guidelines have been called a "humiliating farce" and an "inappropriate and shocking waste of time".
{ $opinionDisclaimer }

In light of the vocal protests against Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, where the gender debate seems to have divided the population into two camps based on whether it is based on facts or feelings, I note that the wok trend seems to have reached new heights in the UK, where the country’s health authorities have now instructed doctors performing X-rays, CT scans and MRIs to ask men if they are pregnant.

The “inclusive pregnancy status guidelines for ionizing radiation” have been developed by the Society of Radiographers (SoR), and according to The Telegraph newspaper, the guidelines were introduced in response to an incident in which a transgender person underwent a CT scan while pregnant. The decision was made on the grounds that radiation from X-rays, CT and MRI scans can be harmful to unborn children. Doctors have therefore been told not to assume a patient’s gender identity when performing all such procedures and to ask everyone between the ages of 12 and 55 about pregnancy – including male, transgender, non-binary and intersex patients.

Under the new guidelines, patients will be asked to fill out a form with a list of questions, including their sex at birth and fertility status. According to several radiologists who spoke to the newspaper on condition of anonymity, the questions have already been deemed “invasive” by many patients.

Humiliating guidelines

Several doctors reported that men were particularly angry with the forms and stormed out of appointments because of the implicit suggestion that their gender was not obvious. Another controversial aspect of the guidelines is asking patients which pronouns they would like to be addressed by, with some parents of minor patients angry that their children were being asked their preferred names and pronouns, which confused them. One doctor even revealed that a patient began to doubt his own gender identity after filling out the form.

Some doctors said they found the new guidelines humiliating for patients and have already appealed to the NHS to drop the system and return to common sense.
Dr. Louise Irvine, for example, notes that there is no reason to ask male patients if they can get pregnant, since it is impossible for anyone of the male sex to get pregnant.

Putting ideology before biological fact

Fiona McAnena, Head of Campaigns at the charity Sex Matters, is also critical.

– Putting healthcare staff and male patients through this humiliating farce, with inclusivity pregnancy forms, questions on the likelihood of pregnancy, and enquiries about their pronouns, is both inappropriate and a shocking waste of time.

It was not clear from the report how many British medical institutions have adopted the new guidelines, but a number of hospitals in London and other cities have reportedly begun using the new request forms.

It’s a real shocker, and I hope the Swedish bureaucrats don’t get it in their heads to introduce something similar in health care, but given that the question of which gender (or none) you identify as is already established in society and appears on job applications these days, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.
