When Islamization Deniers Celebrate Islamization

by Fjordman

On March 10, 2024, the municipality of Oslo in Norway lit large Ramadan light displays for the first time outside the City Hall.[1] Predictably, the Islam-friendly state broadcaster NRK portrayed this as a positive step towards more diversity and tolerance.[2]

They did not mention that Ramadan is also a period of intensified Jihad, Islamic holy war. Ramadan is often marked by deadly Islamic attacks against non-Muslims.

March 12, 2024, marked the start of trial against Zaniar Matapour. He is the Islamic terrorist behind the attack in central Oslo on June 25, 2022, where two people were killed and 21 injured. 19 shots were fired before civilians managed to overpower the perpetrator.[3] During the trial, Oslo City Hall is decorated to celebrate the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan. Less than two years after Matapour’s deadly Jihadist attack, the city of Oslo thus publicly celebrates the ideology behind the terror attack, a few hundred meters away from the crime scene.

Before carrying out his deadly attack, Zaniar Matapour is said to have become “markedly more religious.”[4] He also pledged allegiance to the Jihadist terrorist organization known as the Islamic State (IS or ISIS).

The Ramadan lights in Oslo are said to mimic similar celebrations in London. But is British society really something to emulate today? Britain now resembles a broken nation, already partially on its knees to Islam, while persecuting individuals brave enough to speak this truth out loud.

When the author Melanie Phillips described the Islamization of British society in her 2006 book Londonistan, critics accused her of exaggerating. She didn’t.

Haitham al-Haddad, a British Islamic jurist and the chair of the Fatwa Committee for the Islamic Council of Europe, said in a panel discussing Muslims in the West in 2023 that the situation of Muslims in the West is a lot better than it was 20 years earlier. He said that if you go outside, you might think you are in a “second Afghanistan,” but it is in fact “Londonistan.” Al-Haddad said that Muslims in the West should not consider themselves a “subjected minority,” because they are the “leaders of humanity.”[5]

Under its Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan, London has become an increasingly crime-ridden city where white Britons are a shrinking minority. Muslim rape gangs have operated in many British cities for years and continue to do so.[6]

In January 2024, the Gay and pro-Israeli MP Mike Freer announced that he would not seek re-election at the next UK election due to concerns for his personal safety, following threats and attacks by militant Muslims.[7]

His fear was not unfounded. A Jihadist supporting the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group murdered the Conservative MP David Amess on October 15, 2021.[8] The terrorist had also considered attacking Freer.

Thousands of Muslims have publicly demonstrated in London and other cities in sympathy with the terrorist organization Hamas.[9] Pro-Palestinian Muslims have been so aggressive in confronting individual politicians that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warned British police chiefs in February 2024 that “mob rule is replacing democratic rule.”[10] At the same time, the public is also warned against the alleged dangers of so-called Islamophobia.

Prime Minister Sunak denied that his party has “Islamophobic tendencies.”[11] He said comments made by Conservative politician Lee Anderson were unacceptable, and he was therefore suspended from the party. Anderson stated that the Mayor of London was under the control of Islamists.[12] Sadiq Khan described the comments as racist and Islamophobic, and that they would “pour fuel on the fire of anti-Muslim hatred.”

The Islam-critical Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been living under constant police protection for the past two decades. He has described this in his book Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me.

Other Islam-critical politicians such as Filip Dewinter in Belgium have also been subjected to harassment and planned assassination attempts.[13]

More and more European writers, intellectuals, artists, politicians, and ordinary citizens are threatened by militant Muslims. A veil of censorship and Islamic threats, an Iron Burka, is descending upon Western Europe.

People who ask critical questions regarding claims about man-made climate change risk being labelled “climate deniers.” Perhaps we should rather introduce a new term that is more appropriate: Islamization deniers.

Where Should Europeans Flee To When Our Countries Have Been Destroyed?

Where Should Europeans Flee To When Our Countries Have Been Destroyed?

by Fjordman

The national conservative government in Hungary has been under pressure from the EU for years because they oppose large-scale non-European immigration.

The Hungarians point out that the EU’s immigration policies create insecurity and instability in many European countries. By admitting large numbers of illegal immigrants each year, the EU also encourages continued large non-European immigration to Europe.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó stated on February 13, 2024, that a radical change of EU immigration policy is necessary in order to protect Europeans and their safety. Brussels’ open migration policy creates a real danger of “Europeans losing Europe,” he claimed.[1]

Unfortunately, this is not an exaggeration. If current trends continue, Europe may effectively cease to be the homeland of Europeans.

I have previously written that the migrations we are experiencing now are the largest and fastest in all of human history. In scope, they far surpass the so-called Migration Period which we associate with the fall of the Western Roman Empire.[2]

In Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, we were also largely dealing with migration within Europe. Now, foreign peoples from other continents are flooding into Europe.

According to a survey from 2023, one in five Swedes felt that their area has become less safe. At the same time, a narrow majority (51 per cent) of Swedes stated that they have personally considered moving to another place because of rising insecurity.[3]

Millions of Swedes no longer feel comfortable in their own neighbourhood. That half of the Swedish population has seriously considered moving from their current home due to fear of crime and violence would have been totally unthinkable 50 years earlier. At that time, Sweden was still a safe and relatively ethnically homogeneous country.

Now, Sweden has become a Multicultural country with mass immigration and massive rates of violent crime among imported clan cultures. The big question is: Where should citizens move to avoid these problems?

The Peaceful Sweden Has Been Abolished

Fjordman’s latest essay concerns the ghastly realities of culture-enriching violence in Modern Multicultural Sweden.

The Peaceful Sweden Has Been Abolished

by Fjordman

In seven hours between March 4 and March 5, 2024, bombs detonated at two different apartment buildings in the Stockholm region, in Lidingö and Farsta.[1] Individuals suspected of being linked to rival factions in the country’s bloody gang wars are said to be living at these locations.[2]

Two bombs in one day in Sweden’s capital and Scandinavia’s largest city would at one time have been truly unexpected and shocking. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Now, it is just another Monday or Tuesday. This is the brutal reality of Swedish society today.

Over the years I have written many essays about crime in Sweden. If I no longer do so as frequently as before, this is not because crime has gotten less. It is simply more difficult to mobilize sufficient mental energy to write about unpleasant subjects such as gang rapes or gang crimes.

You know that there will be more bombings, shootings, or arson attacks in Sweden next week, and the week after that, and the week after that. Why write about all of them? This is hardly news anymore. It is simply part of everyday life.

Perhaps this can be described as a form of war fatigue.

I was a child in the 1980s and understood little of Islam or ethnic conflicts. Nevertheless, I remember sometimes mentally tuning out when hearing news from the war in Lebanon. There is only so much human suffering one can stomach. Yes, it was sad to hear about people being killed in attacks, but one expected more deadly attacks in Lebanon the next day.

I had similar reactions to the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s, after the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. Hearing about human beings being shot or bombed was always horrible. But again, one fully expected more of the same next week, and was often proven right.

Partly to my dread, I realize that I now have similar mental reactions to atrocities in Sweden and other countries in Western Europe. I suffer from war fatigue. Not from attacks in Lebanon or the Balkans, but in France, Germany, Italy, Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

It may sound strange to develop war fatigue from countries that are nominally at peace. Yet Sweden suffers from violent attacks of some kind almost daily. Is that truly what peace looks like?

In 2008, the Swedish writer Anders Lugn wrote an article titled “Sweden’s road to disaster.” Somewhat unusually, he even had this text published in the major newspaper Aftonbladet. In the 1980s, Lugn served as a captain in UN-led peacekeeping forces in Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War. While living there, he asked himself how it was possible for such a wonderful country with so many good people to commit national suicide and self-destruct? Among several reasons for the collapse of Lebanese society he mentions a weak sense of national identity and common values, weak national armed forces, a weak police force, easy access to weapons (legal or illegal), and easy access to drugs. There was also a general sense of powerlessness among average citizens.[3]

Anders Lugn was deeply concerned to observe that many of the factors that contributed to a brutal civil war in Lebanon are now also at work in his native Sweden.

Importing Islam Means Importing Violence

An earlier version of this essay by Fjordman was first published in Norwegian at the website Document.no.

Importing Islam Means Importing Violence

by Fjordman

In February 2024, Norway’s public broadcaster NRK reported that rape centers all over Norway record more rape victims seeking aid. In the city of Oslo, the number has increased by 70 per cent in ten years.[1] Many of these rape cases are said to be very serious.

What does NRK suggest is the reason for this massive increase in rapes? Porn. The channel published an article about rapes in which immigration was not mentioned as a possible explanation. This despite a proven link between immigration and rape that exists in neighboring Sweden as well as other countries.

This is simply not credible.[2] It is misleading propaganda.

Norwegians are forced to pay billions of kroner annually to the country’s largest media company, which is actively trying to obfuscate why an increasing number of Norwegians are exposed to violent abuse in their own country.

The mass immigration that established mass media, including the state broadcaster, has supported for decades imports violent crime. This is a demonstrable fact.

NRK also reports in 2024 that so-called honor crimes, forced marriages and threats of honor killings have become part of everyday life all over Norway, not just in major cities.[3]

Forced marriages and honor killings were extremely rare phenomena in Scandinavia fifty years ago, if they existed at all. Muslims from Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, and Somalia top the statistics for these crimes. The current problem is therefore overwhelmingly due to immigration.

In multiple Western countries, serious violence continues spreading as society becomes more ethnically diverse and multicultural. Women and men of all ages may be affected by violent crime in the streets, at schools, in public transport, or elsewhere.

My first significant, public text about Islam was published in Norwegian under my real name — Peder Jensen — in the national newspaper VG in August of 2003. At that time I had just moved to Oslo after studying and working for a couple of years in the Middle East.[4]

The driving force behind my career as a writer was a desire to warn against the great danger I saw from importing Islam to Europe.

Do the COVID-19 Vaccines Demonstrate the Collapse of Science?

Note: One version of this essay was first published in Norwegian at the website Document.no. It has been translated into English here with considerable aid from reader Free Sweden.

Do the COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate the collapse of science?

by Fjordman

John Campbell from England has been making popular videos on YouTube for several years.[1] He has gone from being a supporter of the officially promoted vaccines against the coronavirus COVID-19 to becoming a growing critic of them. He has done this by analyzing official statistics and known figures. The facts show that these vaccines are less effective against COVID-19 than originally claimed. They are also significantly more dangerous than people who took these vaccines were told by the authorities.

Substantial excess mortality rates that have yet to receive a convincing official explanation can be documented over an extended period. This began in part in 2021. The excess deaths have continued in many countries in 2022 and 2023, and unfortunately seem to continue in the UK [2] and elsewhere in 2024.

Campbell has had some very interesting conversations with Angus G. Dalgleish. He is a British professor of oncology, the study of cancer, at St. George’s Hospital Medical School in London. Dalgleish has been very active in the medical field for decades. He is the editor and co-author of the book The Death of Science: The Retreat from Reason in the Post-Modern World.[3]

Stating that science is dead, as the title suggests, may sound dramatic. Yet professor Dalgleish fears that this claim is not an exaggeration. He is highly critical of the way authorities have handled COVID-19 and the vaccines against this virus since the year 2020. Far too much of what is now being presented as scientific research is flawed, logically questionable or marred by corruption.

Angus G. Dalgleish focuses on medical issues, which are his area of expertise. However, he also questions the claim that we are indeed experiencing a man-made “climate crisis.” He argues that scientific data does not support the most alarmist claims about climate change. There is also a lot of money involved in these fields, both in the pharmaceutical industry and in the climate industry.

In 2020, the major US pharmaceutical company Pfizer partnered with Germany’s BioNTech to rapidly develop a vaccine against the novel coronavirus COVID-19. The Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine was introduced at the end of 2020.

The American pharmaceutical and biotechnology company Moderna also rushed to develop an mRNA-based vaccine at the same time, with support and encouragement from the US government.

Before Pfizer and Moderna launched their vaccines, with unusually quick approval from Western governments, mRNA-based technology had never been used on humans on a large scale. It differs significantly from traditional vaccine technology. Some critics claim that these mRNA-based injections should be referred to as experimental genetic technology, rather than as vaccines in a traditional sense of the word.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla himself stated in October 2020 that the company was “moving at the speed of science.”[4] Bourla later remarked that “It took us just 248 days to get from the day we announced our plans to collaborate with BioNTech on a potential Covid-19 vaccine to the day we submitted to the FDA for Emergency Use Authorization. We were able to move at extraordinary speed, while always maintaining our focus on safety, because this new structure allows us to be decisive.”[5]

On the social network Facebook, Pfizer also posted a video about their so-called vaccines in November 2020 entitled Moving at the Speed of Science.[6]

However, how fast is “the speed of science”? Is it 100 kilometers per hour? 1 centimeter per hour? One centimeter per year?

How Sweden Became a Gangster’s Paradise

Fjordman’s latest essay has been published at Gatestone Institute. Below are some excerpts:

How Sweden Became a Gangster’s Paradise

by Peder Jensen

After the Russian invasion of the Ukraine in February 2022, Sweden and Finland abandoned generations of neutrality to apply for membership in the NATO military alliance. However, there is already a gang war going on in Swedish streets, and it has nothing to do with Russia.

Between January and May 2023, Swedish police recorded on average one completed bomb detonation every two days. If you add the bombs that were in preparation, but not yet detonated, Sweden experienced one explosives-related crime per day. Rival gangs increasingly continue to target each other’s relatives with revenge attacks.

In early May 2023, National Police Commissioner Anders Thornberg stated that more than 1,000 people are initiated into criminal gangs across Sweden every year. Despite some arrests, the rate of recruitment shows no sign of slowing down. With three new recruits, many noticeably young, added every day, it is virtually impossible to reduce the total number of active gang members. Thornberg estimated that more than 30,000 people are now involved in gang violence in Sweden. For comparison, he stated that the number of police officers in Sweden is 22,600. The number of gang members already exceeds the number of police and keeps growing at an alarming rate. According to Thornberg, the situation is “extremely serious,” with organized crime infiltrating and corrupting the democratic society, the business world and the public sector.

That Sweden has become one of Europe’s most violent countries has finally attracted international attention. The French newspaper Le Monde lamented “Sweden’s powerlessness in the face of organized violence.” The paper quoted Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson from the Moderate Party stating that the situation is “uncontrollable” and may “get worse before it gets better.” Kristersson labelled the dozens of criminal gangs in Sweden “domestic terrorists.”

Tommy Robinson Exposes Western Censorship

Tommy Robinson Exposes Western Censorship

by Fjordman

On April 1, 2023, the English activist and author Tommy Robinson was on an official visit to the Free Press Society in Denmark.[1] This was not his first trip to Copenhagen.

In early 2020, Robinson was in Copenhagen to receive the Sappho Award from the Free Press Society.[2] They have also granted free speech awards to such individuals as Daniel Pipes, Ibn Warraq, Flemming Rose, Kurt Westergaard, Melanie Phillips, Mark Steyn, Thilo Sarrazin, Ezra Levant, Lars Vilks, Gunnar Sandelin, Roger Scruton, Douglas Murray and Dennis Prager.[3]

During his visits to the Free Press Society and the Danish Parliament, Robinson received a standing ovation in both 2020 and in 2023.[4] He is not used to such treatment in Britain.

A few individuals such as Tommy Robinson and the Dutch politician Geert Wilders have a natural charisma. You notice this when seeing them in real life. They do not resemble each other physically. Wilders is quite tall even for a northern European man. Robinson is not very tall, but he nevertheless has a strong personal presence. Both Robinson and Wilders have suffered death threats for years after criticizing Islam.

Robinson has repeatedly been thrown in prison by British authorities after truthfully exposing how Muslim rape gangs target white British girls in towns across the UK.[5] He is thus harassed for having committed ideological crimes. He has also been forced to share prison with many Muslims who have committed violent crimes or have Jihadist terrorist sympathies. This resembles the way Communist regimes sometimes put thought criminals in jail with real criminals.

Even when people openly threaten his children with violence or rape, this rarely has any consequences for the individuals behind these threats. Tommy himself is now divorced and nearly bankrupt after enduring years of such harassment.

Michael Pihl, the deputy leader of the Free Press Society, had his account on Facebook suspended in the spring of 2023 after writing about Tommy Robinson’s visit to Copenhagen.[6] This case is far from unique. Big Tech censorship among major technology companies is widespread. Robinson has been systematically shut out of nearly all Western social media platforms.

On Facebook, the censorship is so aggressive that you risk having your account locked for linking to articles that mention Tommy Robinson in a neutral or critical manner. Even Members of Parliament such Morten Messerschmidt, the leader of the Danish People’s Party, can experience such treatment. This is Stalinist censorship in the supposedly free Western world. Certain individuals are to be treated as non-persons. You are not allowed to even mention that they exist.

Stop The Great Replacement!

Old Europe Stop The Great Replacement!
by Rikard Högberg
Legatum Books
154 pages

Reviewed by Fjordman

The Swedish author Rikard Högberg recently published his book Old Europe Stop The Great Replacement! He wrote an earlier version of this book in 2002, but the second edition has been updated through 2022 and contains new chapters.[1]

The concept of The Great Replacement has been promoted by the French author Renaud Camus. In his book Le Grand Remplacement from 2011, Camus argues that a European elite is in the process of replacing the native European population with people of immigrant origin. Instead of encouraging its own native population to have enough children, politicians and policymakers are advocating for immigration to replace the deficit of young working-age people. The result of this policy is the gradual replacement of the native European population with peoples of foreign origin, without regard for heritage and cultural conditions.

This process is plainly obvious for everybody to see. Across much of Europe, from Athens to Dublin and from Lisbon to Hamburg, immigrants are rapidly replacing the natives in neighborhood after neighborhood. It has become increasingly difficult to find an ethnic Frenchman in parts of Paris, just as it has become increasingly difficult to find a native English or British person in parts of London. However, stating the obvious and pointing this fact out is met with condemnations of “racism” by bad-faith actors, making a public debate on this subject nearly impossible.

At least, you are not allowed to point out the ongoing population replacement if you criticize or oppose this development. This will at best bring ridicule and scorn. At worst, it could earn you accusations of being a dangerous extremist or even a potential terrorist. Rikard Högberg notes that you may be allowed to comment on the replacement of native Europeans in their historical homelands, but only if you applaud and support this:

“When the replacement of Europeans is described by liberal and progressive voices it is portrayed as something positive; it is welcomed by the press and politicians. However, when those who point out the negative sides of this replacement and want it to be stopped or reversed, it is labelled as a ‘conspiracy theory’ and denied by the very same press and politicians who previously lauded it.”[2]

Högberg believes that a vile replacement policy is being actively promoted by the Globalist ruling class that currently governs Western countries. They rule through false and misleading information and propaganda, rigged elections, threats, intimidation, and various forms of attacks on dissidents and freethinkers:

“Globalist actors such as George Soros and Bill Gates fund and direct obedient corporations and NGOs that do whatever they wish. Their actions all point in one direction; they want to destroy Europe. They want to replace the European population and independence with a new and easily manipulated low-wage slave population. They want to destroy people making innovations that could threaten their hegemony. They hate independent-minded people. They hate intelligent people who can think for themselves. They hate people they cannot bribe. And by extension, as a European, they hate you. They want you extinct and gone. Thus the falling birthrates in Western countries is not a slump. It is the direct result of enacted policies perpetrated by our countries’ currently most potent elements. They fund demographic institutes and ‘think tanks’ that come up with these replacement immigration policies.”[3]

Similar ideas are being pushed simultaneously through international organizations such as the UN and the EU, but also through numerous non-governmental organizations (NGOs), business forums and policy institutes. Some of them are very powerful and influential, yet do not possess any shred of democratic mandate. This includes the World Economic Forum (WEF), founded by Klaus Schwab from Germany. The WEF holds annual meetings in Davos, Switzerland for powerful investors and business leaders, political leaders, and celebrities “to shape global, regional and industry agendas.”[4]

Fortunately, major change may be coming our way. The ruling elites still control much of the information flow, but their grip on power is less firm than before. Fewer people are reading mainstream media controlled by the Globalists, and they trust what they are being told by the mass media less and less. More citizens are taking note of how duplicitous, shameless, and dishonest the Globalists are, while attempting to shield themselves from valid criticism and public scrutiny.

The Descent into Anarcho-Tyranny

The Descent into Anarcho-Tyranny

by Fjordman

The late American writer Samuel T. Francis promoted the term “anarcho-tyranny.” He viewed this as a toxic mix of chaotic anarchy and repressive tyranny. Essentially, this means that the authorities no longer perform legitimate functions such as keeping violent criminals off the streets. Yet at the same time, the government performs illegitimate functions such as suppressing dissent and criminalizing the legitimate views of peaceful citizens. As Sam Francis noted, “The result of anarcho-tyranny is that government swells in power, criminals are not controlled, and law-abiding citizens wind up being repressed by the state and attacked by thugs.”[1]

This, sadly, seems to sum of the state of much of the Western world today.

Nearly a million people applied for asylum in European countries in 2022, the highest tally since 2016. Syrians were the largest group to have applied for asylum, closely followed by Afghans and Turks, all overwhelmingly Muslims. Venezuelans and Bangladeshis also applied for asylum in record numbers, as did Moroccans, Tunisians, and Egyptians.[2] It should be mentioned that there is currently no war in most of these countries. These illegal immigrants are running away from their own dysfunctional culture, while also bringing it with them to Europe.

Large-scale illegal immigration to Europe from unstable and overpopulated societies in the Islamic world and Africa continues every single day. European authorities seem largely impotent to stop this.

Yet in 2020, the same authorities within a few weeks imposed extremely repressive lockdowns on hundreds of millions of law-abiding European citizens over the coronavirus Covid-19 from Wuhan in China. So European authorities are proven to be capable of imposing very forceful measures if they want to. If they never do this against the millions of illegal immigrants and asylum seeks who are flooding into Europe, perhaps this is because European authorities simply do not want to stop them.

The following examples are from Britain. However, they might as well have been from Italy, France, Belgium, or other Western countries.

Dover in Southeast England is currently on the frontline of large numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel in small boats. In Astor Secondary School in Dover, British schoolgirls protested the alleged rape of a fellow student. The suspects, all young Muslim men from Afghanistan, were arrested and interviewed but subsequently released without charge. The girls were asked about the attack and whether it took place on school premises, to which one girl replied: “Yes, allegedly, and nothing has been done about that. No one has taken into consideration that the boys will do it again. (The school’s) main concern is us causing a riot.”[3]

Men from Afghanistan have been involved in several particularly brutal attacks on women in multiple European countries in recent years. It should also been mentioned that British cities have for many years had a huge problem with Muslim men preying upon and raping largely white girls in so-called grooming gangs. This is reportedly still going on today in many parts of the UK.[4]

Thoughts After a Visit to Poland

Fjordman’s latest essay concerns his recent visit to one of the few remaining European strongholds of Christianity.

Thoughts After a Visit to Poland

by Fjordman

The medieval city of Krakow in southern Poland has a well-deserved reputation for beauty. I recently had the pleasure of spending several days there. The city has seen its fair share of unrest, and was sacked and burned by Mongols in the thirteenth century. Yet Krakow survived the Second World War more intact than did many other Polish cities such as Warsaw.

Outsiders often think of Poland as a land of vodka, and to a lesser extent beer or mead. However, there are several wine-producing Polish districts as well. This is unusual for a country that was never a part of the Roman Empire; even today, most important European wine districts were once under Roman rule. Zielona Gora in western Poland has an annual wine festival. In the vicinity of Krakow you can also find several vineyards, primarily producing white wines.

While Krakow is a fine city to visit at any time, December is certainly one of the highlights. Personally, I enjoyed the local Christmas markets. Krakow is famous for its beautiful nativity scenes representing the birth of Jesus. The best ones of these are true works of art. Krakow also feels quite safe for visitors, and it still looks like a European city. Many towns further west in Europe now look like they have been transplanted from the Middle East or Africa.

Several cities, such as Berlin on 19 December 2016 and Strasbourg on 11 December 2018, have suffered deadly attacks by militant Muslims specifically targeting Christmas markets. As a consequence, security against Jihadist attacks has been beefed up all over Western Europe. Even Scandinavian cities such as Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo have put up concrete blocks to protect you from being mowed down by an Islamic terrorist while drinking mulled wine.

I have previously reviewed the book The Camp of the Sane and The Camp of the Saints by author Max Denken, who has Polish roots. He hopes that the eastern half of Europe, where people have experienced Communist rule, may be more resistant to social experiments, indoctrination and decadence than Europeans further west. The Visegrád Group of Central Europe, consisting of Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, form an important part of this bloc.

However, the Russian invasion of the Ukraine in 2022 has created cracks within the Visegrád Four. It has inflamed anti-Russian sentiments in many countries, including Poland. Meanwhile, Hungary under its pragmatic Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been criticized for being insufficiently willing to impose harsh sanctions against Russia. Orbán has suggested that the sanctions have backfired and may have harmed the economies of EU countries more than Russia.

The Shock Troops of the Great Replacement

The following video report from Germany is the clearest evidence to date that migrant invasion is more than just a rag-tag bunch of impoverished third-worlders seeking to escape oppression, and more than just economic migrants hoping for a better life. It’s a deliberately-organized invasion of armed young men.

The orders given to the border police to hold off from interdicting the arms suppliers come from somewhere further up the chain of command. Why are such orders being issued? In order to answer that question we would have to figure out the answer to an additional question: Cui bono?

What we are seeing now is the execution of a carefully-crafted plan. I’m not privy to enough intelligence information to specify who the planners are, nor exactly what final outcome they intend. But the dénouement which will soon be arriving in Europe — and in the United States, in a slightly different form — is clearly a deliberate action.

As Fjordman said more than a decade ago: “This is the greatest organized betrayal in Western history.”

Afterword from the translator:

It’s utterly insane what is happening in Germany and the West in general.

What do these globalist puppeticians hope to achieve with this? Are they so full of themselves that they believe they are indispensable or even immortal? Haven’t they learned from history that a rabid mob of hostiles let loose on one’s own population isn’t going to stop at the gates of their own homes? No matter how much security they have?

Just look what happened to Gordon at Khartoum.

Convicted of Exposing Islam?

The following article about the travesty of “justice” inflicted upon my Danish friend Steen was written by Peder Jensen, better known as Fjordman.

Earlier this month Steen was convicted in a Danish court and given a four-month prison sentence (suspended) for writing about and linking to a video of the murder of two young Scandinavian women by mujahideen in Morocco in 2018. He simply described what happened and linked to a site that had posted the murderers’ video of the atrocity, and that was enough to bring down the wrath of the Danish legal system upon himself.

Before I get to Fjordman’s account of what happened, I’d just like to say a few words about my association with Steen. I got to know him online in early 2007, and stayed with him at his flat in Copenhagen later that year when I attended the first of a series of Counterjihad conferences in Europe. He and I became good friends, and he is one of the finest people I know. (As it happens, that event in Copenhagen was the first time that Fjordman and Steen met, but that’s another story.)

Back then Steen, Fjordman, and I all wrote pseudonymously. Nowadays all three of us are public — how times have changed!

Steen took over the small blog Dansk-Svensk in 2004 and turned it into Snaphanen, retaining the combined focus on Danish and Swedish affairs. He was neither a blogger nor a writer by trade, but a professional photographer. Nevertheless, by patient work as an editor and collator, he made Snaphanen into the largest blog in Denmark.

In July of 2011, after the massacre committed by Anders Behring Breivik in Oslo and on the island of Utøya, like so many of us Steen was exposed to the glare of the media klieg lights by his site’s association with Fjordman. Under the same circumstances, numerous other Counterjihad activists fled and hid in the shadows in the face of all the vicious publicity, shutting down their sites and retiring from activism.

But not Steen. He remained defiant. He kept Snaphanen open and active, saying to those who would bring him down, in effect: “Here I am. Come and get me.”

Seven years later the Powers That Be at last managed to find a way to get him. The case against him is ludicrous. It’s buffoonery. The Danish government ought to be ashamed of itself.

Somebody should market lapel buttons featuring the slogan (in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and English): “We are all Steen now!”

Many thanks to LN for translating this Danish-language article from Snaphanen:

Convicted of exposing Islam?

by Fjordman
February 24, 2022

Maren Ueland and Louisa Vesterager-Jespersen met a beastly death in the Atlas Mountains. Back home in Denmark and Norway the media and authorities did not want people to know about it.

For many years the Danish writer and photographer Steen Raaschou has run the website Snaphanen.dk. On September 20 2022 he was sentenced by the District Court of Copenhagen to four months’ imprisonment, suspended, for writing in December of 2018 about the murders of Louisa Vesterager-Jespersen and Maren Ueland in Morocco, and for linking to a video that showed the atrocities.

The trial has taken several years. Early on the morning of May 8 2019, Raaschou had his private residence searched by at least five police officers. They confiscated his computer equipment and handcuffed him as if he had been a dangerous terrorist. Raaschou was by then a pensioner and had no criminal record.

However, the authorities wanted a harsher punishment. The prosecutor had asked for six months of unconditional imprisonment for Raaschou. But the judges decided to impose a suspended sentence, partly because of the defendant’s age and health. Steen Raaschou has been seriously ill with cancer and is still taking numerous medications on a daily basis.

I know Mr. Raaschou personally, and was present in court myself, as one of dozens of witnesses. As a non-lawyer, I immediately found the application of the law to be strange.

Raaschou was convicted by the Copenhagen District Court of violating ¶264d of the Danish Criminal Code, which prohibits the dissemination of images relating to the “private affairs” of another person and which are clearly not in the public interest.

An example of this practice is if you were to distribute or publish nude pictures of your ex-girlfriend or spouse. Such actions are intended to personally harass and humiliate another person with images that are clearly private and certainly not in the public interest.

People die every day. Some die more brutally than others. Death by murder places an extra strain on the survivors, on the family and friends of the victims. This is because serious crime is not just a private matter. The right to privacy must be balanced against the public’s right to be informed about what is happening in the world around them. People should be made aware of problems and potential threats. They have a right to demand to receive basic information about the society in which they live. Moreover, withholding truthful information may often encourage the spread of rumours, which can be both true and false.

The double murder of Louisa Vesterager-Jespersen and Maren Ueland bore the stamp of an act of terrorism. The militant Muslims who committed the murders in an extremely brutal and ritualistic manner sympathised with terrorist organisations such as the Islamic State (IS).

A deadly terrorist attack against a Danish and a Norwegian citizen is of obvious and general interest to citizens of Denmark, Norway and other countries. It is quite unreasonable to treat this in the same way as the dissemination of private nude photographs.

Steen Raaschou referred to this fact on his website Snaphanen.dk in December of 2018 because he felt that the mainstream media were not reporting the whole truth about what had really happened in Morocco. The media in Denmark and Norway wrote diffusely that the two women had received “injuries to their necks”. This is such a gross paraphrase of what actually happened that it is in fact a complete lie. Raaschou himself says that he wrote to inform the public of the truth. In no way was this done to cause inconvenience to the victims’ families.

The judges at the Copenhagen District Court rejected the arguments by Raaschou and his lawyer that he had used his freedom of speech to inform the public. They considered that the victims’ interests outweighed the defendant’s freedom of expression.

It was also argued that Raaschou could have reported the double murder in a different way, rather than by showing a diffused screenshot and providing a video link to another website.

The video footage of the murders was not shown to the parties in court. However, a witness who has worked for the police was called. He described parts of the video. The judges prohibited reporting the content of the video.

Everyone present in the courtroom, including members of the audience such as myself, were thus prohibited from describing what we heard mentioned in the courtroom about the video. Violation of this prohibition could, in the worst case, lead to our own prosecution.

Vehicular Jihad in Norway

Yesterday a couple of female culture-enrichers in Norway took exception to the burning of a Koran by a Counterjihad organization, and attacked a vehicle carrying members of the group, causing it to overturn.

Fjordman sends this summary of what happened:

Some activists from the organization Stop the Islamization of Norway (SIAN) had just burned a copy of the Koran in Oslo. A car with several of their members was then followed by two women in another car, who used their vehicle as a weapon to attack the SIAN activists on a public highway and flip over their car. The five SIAN activists sustained injuries during the attack, but not life-threatening ones.

The female driver and her female passenger, both of whom appear to be Muslim immigrants, have admitted to the police that they wanted to hit the anti-Islamic activists. So far they have only been charged with doing bodily harm. However, they intentionally hit another car on a public highway with a lot of traffic. Many people would view that as attempted murder.

A video of the incident may be viewed at Snaphanen.

Below is an account from Swedish state media about the events outside of Oslo. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from SVT:

Two persons arrested after running anti-Islamist leader in Norway off the road

The Norwegian anti-Islamist Lars Thorsen was forced off the road Saturday when he was riding in a car on the highway. The incident — which was videotaped by other drivers — occurred after he took part in a Koran-burning outside a mosque on the outskirts of Oslo. Now two women, driver and passenger in the colliding car, have been arrested by Norwegian police.

The Norwegian police believe that they drove into the car with Lars Thorsen, leader of the anti-Islam group, Stop the Islamization of Norway (SIAN), on purpose.

In the SIAN car, which ended up upside down when it was run off the road, there were five people in all. Nobody was seriously injured.

The woman who was driving the other car was arrested on Saturday, suspected of causing serious bodily injury and for deliberately causing the collision. On Sunday, police reported that the passenger was also arrested.

“My client has been affected by what happened,” says her defense attorney to NRK.

A Convergence of Catastrophes

by Fjordman

Pierre Brochand is a former director of the French Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE), tasked with intelligence gathering and safeguarding France’s national security. He has also been a diplomat, the French ambassador to Hungary, Israel and Portugal, and has served his country in various positions for decades. In an interview with the national newspaper Le Figaro in March of 2022, Brochand sounded an alarm bell over the damage immigration is doing to France and to other European nations.[1] He judges that Europe is currently the only part of the world to deny the importance of ethnic and cultural homogeneity for stability, peace, and prosperity.

France has for more than half a century experienced large-scale immigration from what used to be called the Third World: countries in the Islamic world, Africa, and other parts of the global South. Brochand notes that this recent mass immigration is unprecedented in our history, and observes that it is fracturing France into various competing tribes. While it has become taboo to say so in Western countries today, experience indicates that Multicultural societies of competing ethnic groups are often inherently unstable and tend to break down into violence. Brochand compares France to Lebanon and the former Yugoslavia. These were Multicultural countries with large Muslim populations that collapsed into horrific civil wars.

Pierre Brochand has harsh words for the political leaders in France and the rest of Western Europe. In his view, they have for decades allowed the situation to grow worse and worse due to cowardice. He fears that the country could be heading for some form of collapse unless a complete reversal of public policy is implemented immediately. The politicians must say loud and clear that France will not for the foreseeable future be a country that welcomes large-scale immigration. However, Brochand believes that political leadership in France and Europe still underestimates the seriousness of the situation. Time is running out if we want to avoid a disaster. With his decades of accumulated experience, Pierre Brochand fears a dark future for our children and grandchildren.

In April of 2021, one thousand French soldiers, including more than twenty retired generals, signed a public letter warning that France could face a bloody “civil war” fueled by Islamic separatism.[2] Several other observers have voiced similar worries.[3] Some fear that war has become inevitable.[4] A few, such as the author Michel Onfray, state that a civil war has already begun.[5]

The American writer Ned May quotes the American science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein with what he terms The Year of the Jackpot. This is when several negative happenings converge in time and cause a systemic collapse in society. May wrote an essay about this at his website Gates of Vienna in 2007, and in 2022 this emerging chaos appears to be drawing closer.[6] A toxic mix of negative factors could cause dramatic ripple effects throughout the entire Western world. Right now, we are witnessing a combination of mass immigration, Islamization, terrorism, unparalleled money printing by the central banks, massive public debt, disrupted economies after lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic, outsourcing of industries and jobs to an increasingly powerful China, war between Russia and the Ukraine, social decay, decadence and cultural decline, dissolution of families, a spike in violent crime, increasing censorship, surveillance and ideological indoctrination, harmful environmental policies plus a steep rise in the prices of energy and food. Every one of these problems is bad by itself. Combined, they could be disastrous.
