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.

Matteo Salvini: “The EU of Recent Years Has Been a Disaster”

Below are excerpts from a brief press conference held by Deputy Italian Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. The context of the presser is that it followed a recent demonstration against Israel in Pisa (involving, one presumes, large numbers of Muslim culture-enrichers). The crowd wanted to gain access to the square adjacent to the synagogue of Pisa, but was prevented from doing so by police. In the clash that followed, the cops had to use their batons against the demonstrators.

In answering the reporters’ questions, Mr. Salvini made it clear that he supported the police.

Unintended Consequences

In addition to an update on Sderot, MC’s latest essay discusses the sequelae of late-stage socialism.

Socialism always involves spending more money (usually other people’s) than the socialist entity can afford, which in turn increases poverty, and, in many cases results in a goodly proportion of the economy being driven by debt and slavery, and the need to eliminate those ‘useless eaters’.

As the Nazis (National Socialists) swept through Poland, they arrested young (mainly Catholic) men and herded them into (slave) Labour Camps, with many ending up in the notorious Auschwitz labour camp.

We are taught about Auschwitz in its later role as a death camp, but before it was a death camp (1944) with massive extermination facilities, it was a huge labour camp where young men and PoWs were put to hard and cruel work. Many had to work alongside the Jewish inmates in housed in the notorious Birkenau camps and were exposed to the same radiation and toxic substances such as mercury and cadmium. There was no ‘health and safety’ for Polish slave labour.

Conditions in these camps were primitive, food was scarce, and many did not survive. Nearly as many Poles and Slavs generally died in the camps as did Jews, Gypsies and Christians (Jehovah’s Witnesses and Evangelicals).

Socialism is expensive, and the Nazis needed to rob Piotr to pay Paulus.

The unintended consequence of Nazism was eventually total and utter defeat as the Anglophone and Communist world turned on Nazi Germany and its vile excesses. Germany needed the slaves and the treasuries of Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland to pay for the ‘welfare’ of the ‘master race’

Is this a familiar picture?

Wokism is Nazism with colour, and although many of the people of Israel are ‘non-white’ they are still Jooz, and thus honorary ‘white supremacists’.

Someone out there is bankrolling ‘Wokism’, bribing people of influence to ignore the rape and murder, the baking of babies and the kidnapping of children. I assume that the usual rent-a-mob has been well-rewarded for their efforts across the civilized world.


Staff sergeant Abraham Wovagen fell in battle in Gaza

Of course, Wokism, is like any other socialist venture, and is a total anachronism. Under Wokism, the white liberal establishment, ‘the deep state’, keep their jobs and their power and their patronistic mentality whilst paying lip service to skin colour prejudice. Jim Crow is back in the form of D’avon Pidgeon. This time Jews or people with white skins are the victims. It is thus acceptable to our elites, even while it is still deeply racist. But in a world that has adopted secular humanism as its main belief system, there are no depths to which a progressive liberal will not sink in order to get their ‘moment in the sun’.

The New York Governor Kathy Hochul thought she had a ‘gotcha’ moment when a dubious and victimless ‘fraud’ case against President Trump brought about an egregious fine. But now the Governor has to try and stem the flood of money out of New York City, real estate, banking and other finance business interests are fleeing the state, in her rush to put one over on the Donald, she and her cronies crossed a line. She blasphemed the rule of law and made President Trump a special case where opinion and emotion were substituted for the required blindness of Justice. There is no justice in a banana republic, only whimsy. The woke New York governor now seems to be panicking because she has destroyed vital business confidence — “Who next?”, one must think. Who next might become a ‘special case’? Is it still safe to trade with New York City-based businesses? Is the state going to use lawfare to solve its deep, deep deficit problems?

Hochul forgot decency in her zeal to be the first get a Trump conviction. There are always unintended consequences when the ends justify the means. I also suspect that she has, by her actions, put the Donald in the White House for the next four years. Overzealous Democrats have only one option left.

More on the Eritrean Ructions in the Hague

Below is a follow-up to last Sunday’s post about the recent culture-enriching riots in the Hague, which pitted rival groups of Eritrean immigrants against each other and the police.

All 13 suspects still in custody after Eritrean riot in the Hague

February 19, 2024

All 13 suspects who were arrested Saturday during the riots between two groups of Eritreans are still in custody. According to the police, they are suspected of public violence and weapons possession. They are men between the ages of 19 and 36.

In the riots surrounding the meeting of Eritreans in a meeting hall center in the Hague, eight police officers were wounded. Pro-government Eritreans were gathered at the meeting. Opponents of the dictatorial regime sought the confrontation. According to the Hague mayor Van Zanen, the rioting youths were from the Eritrean organization Brigade Nhamedu.

Tweede Kamer wants clarification

Yesterday, several fractions in the Tweede Kamer [Second Chamber of Parliament] stated that they wanted clarification on the riots. Among others, The VVD [People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy] and CDA [Christian Democratic Appeal] have questions for outgoing Justice and Security Minister Yesilgoz. The parties also think that there should be an investigation into Brigade Nhamedu.

These are images from the riots.

PVV leader [Geert] Wilders says he is “sick and tired” and feels that the perpetrators must be arrested and deported. “I want to become the prime minister who finally puts things in order,” he writes on X. The VVD wants “strong punishment” and feels that such violence must have consequences for an eventual residence permit or “Dutch citizenship”. Several parties also want an investigation into the tension between the two groups.

Regularly go at each other

Refugee supporters and opponents of the regime in Eritrea regularly face off with each other. For that reason, there were extra measures taken at the meeting. Mayor Van Zanen later acknowledged that the acts of violence surprised him.

Following the riots, the Public Prosecutor’s Office established a large-scale investigative team to prosecute the suspects. The police are still investigating the case.

Eritreans Rumble on the Fruitweg

The neighborhood around the Opera Hall Center in the Hague got thoroughly culturally enriched last night by rival Eritrean gangs, who did battle with each other and the police using iron bars, baseball bats, rocks, fireworks, and whatever else they could find that was close at hand. The night was chilly, and they set a bus and police cars on fire so that everyone could keep warm.

The Behavioral Sink in Brussels


Molenbeek, a district of Brussels

It seems the law of the jungle is the only law that remains in Brussels, the renowned capital of Modern Multicultural Europe.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Flemish daily De Morgen:

European parliamentarians in open letter regarding Brussels violence: “Growing feeling of insecurity in the capital city of the EU”

A number of European Parliamentarians addressed an open letter to the minister of Internal Affairs, Annelies Verlinden (CD&V), and the Brussels minister-president, Rudy Vervoort (PS). They are demanding a strict approach to drug violence and “decisive measures” to guarantee security in the European capital city.

February 17, 2024

The increasing drug violence in our capital city is also raising concern among the members of the European Parliament, according to the letter. They refer not only to the recent shooting in the capital city but also to the terrorist attack in which two Swedish football fans were killed in a shooting in December of last year, in which a worker of the European parliament was wounded.

The signatories to the letter also express concern over the situation in the Brussels South Station, “one of the most important entry ports to the capital city of the EU”. “The situation is further worsened by petty thefts, from telephones to cars, and by the increasing drug-related criminality,” the letter says.

Reference is made to a recent investigation which shows that Brussels ranks 15th in the cities with the highest crime index of 132 cities researched. “These are just some of the disturbing elements of a growing feeling of insecurity among the people who live and work in the capital city of the European Union,” the letter reads.

Extra police personnel

At a press conference earlier this week, Minister Verlinden stressed that this legislature has invested almost 500 million euros more in police services. “The fight against international criminality remains a priority for the federal government and the federal police,” she said. She also referred to recent efforts to recruit and select more police personnel. “With about 50,000 members, the integrated police have more employees than ever, but we also see that the expectations from the population have grown and that the fight against criminality is raising concern within the organizations, of which the crimes committed are often an expression.”

Jew-Hatred is Alive and Well in Germany

Jews are being beaten up in German universities. No, this isn’t 1935. And this time the globalist oligarchs that rule Germany and the rest of Western Europe have imported the legions of Mohammed to do their dirty work and teach Israel (and Jews in general) a lesson.

A North African Guy on the Barcelona Metro — Guess the Rest…

When a Maghrebi “youth” arrives on the platform at the Barcelona Metro, what’s his preferred action? Why, to clock a young girl, of course! Hit her as hard as he can, and then run like hell…

It goes without saying that the unfortunate culture-enriching perp is thought to be mentally ill.

Brutal attack in Barcelona metro: Man senselessly attacks woman in Camp de l’Arpa

February 9, 2024

The brutal, senseless attack occurred on Friday shortly before 10am in the Camp de l’Arpa de la I.5 station in the Sant Marti district in Barcelona. As can be seen in the images from the security cameras on the metro platform, which ElCaso.com has had access to, a man confronts and attacks several people until he finally strikes a girl who was awaiting the arrival of a train, with a strong punch to the face. The woman, who was looking at her cell phone and did not expect the attack, fell on her back to the ground, suffering a heavy blow. In fact, the attacker used such force that he himself ended up losing his balance and falling to the ground.

Catalan police have identified the attacker

The attacker, in view of everyone, who watched incredulously in surprise at what had just happened, got up and ran away. Several witnesses to the incident quickly went to try and stop him and help the victim, who was left dazed and dizzy, while calling 112 to report the incident. The Catalan police proceeded to the Camp de l’Arpa and were able to identify the attacker, who had been detained by security guards before he could escape. He is a young man of Maghrebian origin, long known in the criminal world of Sant Marti with several previous arrests.

With respect to the victim, in spite of the spectacular nature of the attack, as can appreciated from the images from the station’s security cameras, she suffered only minor injuries, for which she has received medical attention. The other persons who were on the platform, some of whom also suffered the aggressor’s attack with less force, emerged without injuries. The Investigative Unit of the Area of Regional Urban Transport (ARTU), the unit tasked with crimes such as robbery and attacks that take place on public transportation, has opened an investigation into the incident to determine the motives for the attack. According to what ElCaso.com has been able to learn from police sources, the attacker may have been having mental health problems although this point will have to be confirmed by the investigation.

The ‘High IQ’ of Murder

Our Israeli correspondent MC sends an update on Sderot, plus his thoughts on the larger issues.

The ‘High IQ’ of Murder

by MC

Nazism is a political meme which has been securely packaged up and filed under ‘Far Right: Conservative’, and is wheeled out whenever the left wants to shut down debate or dialogue or sling the ‘racist’ epithet against their opponents.

But whilst conservatives may want to preserve cultural integrity and Judeo-Christianity in particular, they have not generally indulged in mass murder and slavery as have the Left.

This ‘right-wing’ filing is wrong, but has caused mayhem for the last 70 years. It is a superlative opportunity for projection and, as conservatives nearly always fall for it, too, it has become a major suppressor of conservative cultural policy.

Nazism was a byproduct of the failure of Marxism. The (Marxist) proletariat did not rise up and take over the means of production as predicted, and the communist aficionados became impatient. Lenin decided that a top-down revolution was better than Marxian bottom-up ‘pie in the sky’.

Mussolini, on the other hand, as the leader of the Italian Communists, decided that communism could be achieved without a revolution,

At this point Marx/Leninism and Marx/Mussoliniism were moving in similar directions.

Marx/Mussoliniism was renamed ‘Fascism’ (after the fascia, the bundle of sticks wrapped around a Roman spear a symbol of Roman power). The only fundamental difference between the two was that fascism was not interested in state ownership so much as state control.

But there was nothing new here. Social paganism is thousands of years old, but by jiggling with names, these new ‘pagan’ philosophies became chic, and were adopted by elites in the anglosphere and elsewhere. They were particularly popular amongst academics and those who thought themselves as of slightly higher IQ than average, and thus ‘better’ people.

As the world fell under their ‘might is right’ pall, and their ‘ends justify the means’ politics, people began to die in large numbers. Once again, slavery became commonplace as great civil projects were undertaken, hailed as a ‘cure’ for the recession, dams and canals were built, highways and other infrastructure erected, and treasuries drained. In Germany it was decided that the treasury issues could only be tackled by expansion: Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland; WAR.

And with it, an opportunity for continental Europe to tackle that age-old ‘Jewish problem’.

But there was nothing new in this evolution of evil. Islam had preceded it by over a thousand years, following almost the same path to a might-is-right/ends-justify-the-means-based political religion. Back in the deep history of Islam, even more people were slaughtered and even more enslaved and even they had their own ‘Jewish problem’.

People hated Jews, and especially their economic dependence on Jews. Jews handled much of the finance and technical trades of Islam, and had to be kept alive, but in the virtual slavery of dhimmitude. Rank in Islam was denoted by headgear: the bigger the hat, the more important the person, and Jews were subject to both height and headgear restrictions. The kippah was the designated headgear for those captive Jews.

The Nazis’ ‘final solution’ also involved Jews being kept alive as captive (slave) workers in vital industries.

In modern times, these streams of communism, Fascism and Islam come together under the banner of Wokism.

“I Hate All French People”

As reported in the news feed last weekend, a young “Frenchman” named Sagou Gouno Kassogue had a sudden “Allahu Akhbar” moment at the Gare de Lyon in Paris. He went on a rampage with a knife and other implements of destruction, wounding three people before he could be overpowered and detained.

Before he was apprehended, Mr. Kassogue left a substantial record of political analysis and philosophical ruminations on TikTok. Below are two excerpts from his recorded work.

RAIR Foundation provides this introduction:

PARIS — The recent knife attack at the Gare de Lyon train station in Paris, carried out by Sagou Gouno Kassogue, a 32-year-old Malian national who is Muslim, has intensified debates and concerns surrounding border policies and the threats posed by illegal migrants entering the country. The incident has added fuel to an already contentious issue, raising questions about security measures and the screening of foreign individuals seeking asylum or entering France.

On Saturday morning, chaos erupted as Kassogue, armed with a knife and hammer, embarked on a stabbing spree inside the bustling Gare de Lyon train station. According to the first elements of the investigation, the suspect first set fire to his backpack before grabbing a knife and a hammer, attempting to strike a passerby who managed to avoid them,” explained the prosecution. “Three passersby intervened, showing immense bravery in their actions. However, they were not spared from the violence, as they were injured by knife and hammer blows,” continued the prosecution. Kassogue left three victims in his wake, one of whom now faces a life-threatening condition.

Islam: Abolition of Civilisation, Part II

Our Indian correspondent The Kafir sends this follow-up to last week’s essay about Islam.

Islam: Abolition of Civilisation (Part II)

by The Kafir

In the year 1988, Salman Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses was published. Khomeini issued the fatwa. Salman Rushdie was a British citizen. The UK government immediately forced him into hiding, with heavy police protection. The UK had its Muslims. There was no way to know who among them might kill Rushdie. A mob could have come and lynched him. The British knew all this.

If the British knew all this, one might expect they would figure out all the logical things which followed from the affair: Muslims do not respect the West’s concept of free speech, there is no way to find out which Muslim is a potential killer of a blasphemer, and Muslims become mobs for the most outrageous of causes. Therefore, if the UK wanted to keep its free speech rights, it needed to stop Muslim immigration.

In fact, this should have been done by all the Western countries. Instead they opened the gates wider. They even encouraged Muslim immigration, legal and illegal. For example, Tony Blair. And Angela Merkel.


How did the West reach this point? The times when the elites of the most educated, advanced, prosperous, and happy countries of the West want to destroy the countries they are ruling? And the citizenry seem to be just clapping along?

The answer is that in the nineteenth century a man was born named Karl Marx. He confused the masses, and he frightened the elites. He misunderstood the source of wealth, let the masses loose on the elite, and they started making compromises, and now know nothing except making compromises, with anybody who threatens violence.


Burnham understood that Marxism/Communism/Leftism was also the abolition of morality: ‘“Dialectical logic.” Is simply a devise that declares “whatever serves the interest of communist power is true.” (Burnham quoted in the introduction to Suicide of The West, written by Roger Kimball [page 11, Kindle edition]). And the liberals ruling the West are Marxists lite. They know no absolute morality. It is all relative for them. Therefore, they now have different moral laws for different sections of society.

They started with the industrial workers. According to the leftists, the industrial workers are an exploited lot; therefore they are entitled to use violence. Normal laws of morality do not apply to them. They can picket the industrial plant, can wreck it, can even kill the owners. Because they are exploited. The ruling elites gave in. Perhaps they were afraid that if the workers were not allowed to burn down the industrial plant, they might march to parliament building and burn it instead. This was the first exemption from the moral laws granted by the civilized, and it has been downhill ever since. It led to the destruction of industrial plants in the West and rise of the Dependency Class. Work has this profound magical quality that it creates character in the men doing it. Without work, on welfare, Western people lost that character. Word also got around that being a ‘victim’ or ‘oppressed’ gives one exemption from the moral laws. Liberals began manufacturing ‘victim classes’, and people happily joined, because, well, who wants to be burdened with the morality?

Time to Take Off the Rose-Colored Glasses

The two videos below discuss the remarks made by a former French intelligence agent, who has sparked a controversy with his statements about the inevitable Islamization of France, and all of Europe.

RAIR Foundation provides this background for the videos:

Former DGSE (General Directorate for External Security) agent Pierre Martinet, who served in a specialized French intelligence agency, delivered a chilling warning about the impending Islamic threat to Europe in an interview on the Les Bâtisseurs podcast.

Martinet, a veteran of the 3rd Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (3e RPIMa), foresees a terrifying future where Europe faces complete Islamization within the next 50-70 years. The portion of the interview presented below unravels the profound ideological threat posed by Islam, particularly the role of the Muslim Brotherhood, in the unsettling transformation of Europe. Watch the video, which has been translated into English by RAIR Foundation USA, to gain a deep understanding of this alarming prediction and the urgent threat it raises.
