Sweden a nation in upheaval and political turmoil


It was rather shocking to see the leftist party representative Rossana Dinamarca start speaking in the Swedish parliament without addressing the elected house speaker with "herr talman" (Mr chairman) as is required and customary, seeking conflict, defying democracy. Sweden's parliamentary system and democracy is on the path downwards the tubes of the sewer since the last election with the ultimate show-down between the elected government and the opposition when the budget was to be voted on. The day before the vote was to take place the suspected neo-Nazi party "the Sweden Democrats" the third party in size of my country arranged for a press conference declaring that they would put their vote with the right-wing coalition - the Alliance - to defy and destroy the budget proposed by the government of Sweden. They also declared that they would let down any government not having responded to the party's will to limit immigration. This resulted in the prime minister calling for a re-election in March 2015.

Well this is an unusual dark fall in Sween only 2 months since the election and for every day passed it appears that the government we had, a right-wing coalition called the "Alliance", has caused great damage to the image of Sweden, the parliamentary system, it's people and the ones at the bottom of the food chain. That "Alliance" is a composition of the bigger truly rightist party - the "Moderaterna" and three other marginal parties, the "center", "the People's" and the "Christian democratic" party. The major stake of governing is held by the "Moderaterna", keeping important roles as the "Prime minister", "the minister of foreign affairs", the "minister of treasury", the "minister of naturalization" with ministers of more lightweight controversial matters given to the allied minority parties making them feel important. That is how the Swedish party the "Alliance" look like and it is also a reason why the bigger party the "Moderaterna" is very comfortable in its position for egoistic reasons refusing to bargain with the majority which now is it's opposition, letting a neo-Nazi party create havoc in the parliament.

This writing is as much about the disastrous consequences of a government formed by the wealthiest and the industry ( read in US terms, the "Republicans") as of parliamentary turmoil by a new third agent, a party with a neo-Nazi past that has more than 13% percent of the votes, the third largest party in Sweden.

The legacy of the past government are that welfare, that is including “Medicare”, the educational system, unemployment support, for the people of Sweden has been hampered in favor of giving tax-breaks to those that does not need them, increasing segregation in contrary to what Sweden was known and admired for in earlier years, insulting senior retired people not getting the tax-breaks because they are off the work market place. Anybody  not having an employment in Sweden is punished by this utterly stupid idea. At the same time, those tax-breaks affects the security of Sweden when the Russian nation is rising again creating a situation similar to what we had during the cold war, there is no money for increasing military expenditures. A shot in the own foot but also in the foot of everyone that wants an independent Sweden.

The armed forces in Sweden knows that the nation would have about a week of holding up resistance before surrendering to an attacking nation (read Russia) is asking for funding to beef up the defense. There is not sufficient money in any political blocks budget to change that situation in any considerable manner. Those tax-breaks we had will be gone with any future government taking the Russian threat for serious without having improvements in our educational system, our “Medicare” or improving the situation of un-employment. We would have to suffer again to once again become the highest taxed nation on planet earth, as we were once.

Sweden has lost it's position as a nation were equality in education was our hallmark. The latest OECD report (fall 2014) points out that what we were known for, is since long lost, asking, what the hell happened to you. It is truly very sad. What we know of today is that most schools that were sold out to so called "venture capitalist" are showing losses in their earnings reports, showing big losses and when asked how they are going to make it without putting students on the street, they respond smiling, saying despite losses we are doing great, don't worry. So what is that? Parents to students in those private schools are worried, do they have to be? Well, those companies are utilizing EU sanctioned tax-schemes making them appear like they were losing money by running their business. The truth is that they use the possibility to take fake loans to a very high interest rates from an affiliated company residing in Luxembourg creating a loss in the balance sheet not having to pay taxes, not having to benefit or support the country were they operate. None of our media specialists seem to get it though.

I hope the respect for democracy will rise again in our nation. I hope that the hypocrite role model of the Roman empire and that of the God almighty himself, the US nation, will be deprecated, as it only leads to segregation between those that doesn't have and those that have, those that can and those that are unable to. That is not unity, that is not love. That is greed.

The promised land has become the land of greed, the land of the "feel good flicks" instead of doing good. It affects all of us on the planet earth as we "enjoy" the propaganda machinery of Hollywood and the USA, I do not recognize the descendants of the pilgrims anymore.

I would like to see myself as a libertarian (my ego) but my instinct tells me I am wrong.
