"The Dark Side of Swedish Society" is a theme that plays into the novel I've been working on for the past 7 years or so. It's not really parapolitical or anything but is kind of a redemption song for a woman that had been abused as a child. I'd definitely be interested in reading Larsson's stuff. I had no idea that this is what Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was about. I'd avoided it because it sounds like some kind of bad geisha erotica.

guess I walked into that one ! but even so it’s a pretty clear reference to the intentional act by a person ( rather than a computer ) to copy an image – thus proving they didn’t accidentally happen upon it whilst searching for sites about the literature of Nabokov or something. e.g. under British law

Under Section 1 (4) Protection of Children Act 1978 the defendant may suggest that he was looking at adult pornography sites, or even sites not connected with pornography at all, when child pornography sites popped up on the screen uninvited. Although this is possible, in order to refute such a defence your expert witness can show how often the defendant visited such sites and whether he saved the indecent images.

Anti-immigration party formed from skinhead movement seizes balance of power in Sweden

By Daily Mail Reporter < Link >

Last updated at 7:07 PM on 20th September 2010

Democrats win 20 seats to enter parliament for first time
Centre parties refuse to work with them as currency falls

Sweden was today coming to terms with the emergence of a far right party into mainstream politics.

The anti-immigration Democrats now hold the balance of power in Sweden after the centre-right government failed to win an outright majority.
Unemployment and the flood of foreigners into the south of the country have been blamed for the rise of the group, which began life as a faction of skinheads.
Now the party will enter Parliament for the first time, with 20 seats.

Stunning success: Jimmie Akesson, chairman of the right-wing party Sweden Democrats, celebrates winning the party's first seats in the new parliament

Despite denials they are racist, both main blocs have ruled out working with them.
A preliminary count showed Fredrik Reinfeldt's coalition winning 172 seats in the 349-member parliament. The Social Democrat-led centre-left opposition was set to secure 157.
The Democrats' leader, Jimmie Akesson, won 4.6 per cent of the vote and told chanting supporters: 'Today we have written political history together, I think that's fantastic.'

Analysts had said before Sunday's election that a hung parliament, with Reinfeldt's centre-right Alliance coalition having no overall majority, would unsettle investors and the currency duly weakened in trading this morning.
'An uncertain parliamentary situation is always negative for a currency, but the market pretty quickly goes back to focusing on other things,' Handelsbanken analyst Claes Mahlen said.
'I don't think the view of Sweden will change dramatically'
'If this outcome stands we will have a scenario that most Swedish voters wanted to avoid - that is that we have a xenophobic party holding the balance of power,' said Ulf Bjereld, a political scientist at Gothenburg University.

Swedish newspapers said the election marked a dramatic shift for a nation known for its tolerance and liberal policies.
'It is Monday morning and time for Swedes to find a new self-image,' wrote daily Svenska Dagbladet.
'A centre-right government without a majority, a wrecked Social Democracy and a party with roots in far-right extremism holding the balance of power.'
Daily Dagens Nyheter zeroed in on the political difficulties generated by the government falling short of a majority. 'Tough situation awaits,' ran a banner headline.
Reinfeldt, who campaigned on a promise of more tax cuts and reforms to trim the welfare state, has said he was prepared to lead a minority government but repeated on Sunday he would first approach the opposition Green Party for support.
'We have said that the biggest bloc should rule and that is the Alliance,' he told supporters at an election night party, rejecting any cooperation with the far-right Sweden Democrats.

SWEDISH SUPPORT FOR THE NAZIS
Anyone who has read Stieg Larsson's bestselling Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy will be aware of the links between Swedish elements and the Nazis.
As Hitler rose to power in Germany in the early Thirties, the National Socialist Workers Party was set up by Sven Olof Lindholm in 1933 to mirror its views.
A newspaper was set up as a mouthpiece for fascist views, a Nordic Youth set up along the lines of the Hitler Youth and the swastika even featured for a time on the party's emblem.
The more established National League of Sweden was also undergoing a resurgence at that time with members peaking at 40,000.
During the war itself, the country declared itself neutral and maintained iron ore exports to Germany and allowing the Wehrmacht to use its transport network.

Image

The monarch, Gustav V (pictured above right with Herman Goering in the 1930s) enjoyed strong links with high-ranking members of the SS and Goering was even presented with the Swedish Order Of The Sword.
Sweden used its position of influence for some good, however, and saved the lives of 8,000 Danish Jews and 44,000 Norwegians smuggled into the country.
After 1943, it sought to distance itself from the Germans. Support waned and the Nazi-sympathising parties dissolved but a core clung on and in 1956, the Nordic Reich Party was established.
Dozens of parties have subsequently dotted the political scene, including the White Aryan Resistance (WAR), whose activities - included a spate of car bombings - were in fact investigated by Larsson.
In 1994, on Hitler's 110th birthday no less, that group transformed into the National Socialist Front and that kept the WAR flag flying until 2008.
Jimmie Akesson's Democrats started life in 1998, emerging from the Keep Sweden Swedish movement supported largely by skinheads in the south of the country, but has steadily steered its way to respectability.
They switched the party's symbol from a blue and yellow badge with a sail, mirroring the national flag, to that of an orange cloudberry, a plant that grows in the northern hemisphere.
But the reception from the Green Party was cool.
'In the current situation we have continued red-green cooperation," said joint Green Party leader Maria Wetterstrand, referring to the alliance with the opposition Social Democrats.
Reinfeldt benefited from one of Europe's strongest economic recoveries to become the first sitting centre-right prime minister to win re-election in a country that was ruled for much of the last century by the Social Democrats.
In the election, voters were choosing between Reinfeldt's model of a leaner welfare state with more income tax cuts and privatisations, and an opposition platform that wanted the rich to pay more to fund schools, hospitals and care for the elderly.
The Social Democrats had their worst election in almost 100 years, with voters apparently backing the welfare reforms and tax cuts pushed through by the Alliance of Reinfeldt's Moderate Party, the Liberals, Centre and Christian Democrats.
The rise of the right, meanwhile, was put down to a significant increase in the unemployed, whose numbers have risen during the global economic crisis.
The Democrats have a strong base in the south of Sweden, where many residents feel overrun.
Umea University expert Svante Ersson said Sweden Democrat voters were often young men who felt ignored by society.
'They don't necessarily have to be xenophobic - it could be a way to make a statement against the establishment,' said Ersson.
The Sweden Democrats have been inspired by the success of the People's Party in neighbouring Denmark that provides vital parliamentary support for the government there.
The party wants to curtail immigration and criticises Muslims and Islam as un-Swedish.
Immigrants account for 14 per cent of Sweden's population, just above the 12.4 per cent average for northern Europe, according to United Nations figures.
Jan Haggstrom, chief economist at Handelsbanken, said that even a minority Reinfeldt government could manage well and he saw little chance that the centre-left opposition would link up with the Sweden Democrats on key parliamentary issues.
'We have such strong public finances. It would take something really spectacular for people to start worrying ... and start selling Swedish government paper,' he said.
Sweden has been among the most welcoming of European Union countries to immigrants seeking asylum or refugee status, taking in people after the Balkan wars of the 1990s and becoming a favourite destination for Iraqis after the U.S. invasion.

Okay, so I'll attempt my first post here :) will keep this short, but I will attempt to answer any questions.

The party is properly called Sverigedemokraterna or Sweden/Swedish Democrats.
It's quite easy to gain the epithet of 'far right' in the Swedish discussion. Basically it suffices to disagree with the multicultural mantras.

From here in Finland, it has been quite unbelievable to follow the news: adverts were published depicting SD-ballot paper trampled in gutter; Swedish tabloids went against Swedishdemocrats (SD) on their front pages; couple of dozens famous athletes also got worried and followed the suite, violence and disturbances had been disrupting SD-gatherings.

In a rather gruesome replay of movie Inglourious Basterds by Tarantino, one SD-politician was attacked by two leftists and got a swastika slashed in his forehead. (Couple of days before the election, there was news that one doctor had declared the wound self-inflicted. I offer this bit for completeness).

hi, welcome to the board...

Well since WWII the crypto-fascist will always seek mainstream acceptance in the form of straight-forward right-wing populism

People like Pim Fortuyn seem to have arrived in a similar political space from a different direction but further complicate the picture

literally or metaphorically tarring all those attracted to the superficial message as “nazis” or whatever when this may only be a true characterisation of the inner-circle & the energetic core element of activists may well risk devaluing the term

& for sure indiscriminate violence is not an acceptable course any more than the murder of Pim Fortuyn in Holland isn’t going to solve anything

I'm not sure that this qualifies for the dark side of Swedish society, but there is election talk here.

Swedish Pirate Party Runs Aground in Election.

The Jolly Roger is flying at half-mast across Sweden today, after the country’s Pirate Party failed to secure enough popular support to enter parliament.

The party, which supports copyright reform, free speech and opposes state surveillance, polled just one percent of the total vote. That falls far short of the seven percent that the party secured in 2009’s European Parliament elections, and also short of the four percent threshold required to enter parliament...

The election was held on International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

A Swedishdemocrat politician of Syrian origins was attacked by multiple perpetrators, some wielding knives. Motivation was political, attackers yelled that he should leave the SD party. They were succesful: Issa Issa is leaving politics.

Revealed: How the King of Sweden enjoyed wild sex parties with strippers - and a lengthy affair with a buxom model

By Geoffrey Levy Last updated at 8:18 AM on 5th November 2010

To the world at large, King Carl Gustaf of Sweden is the ­perfect 21st-century ­monarch. A charming man of quiet ­dignity, loved by his people as an ordinary family man, his main hobby is Scouting.
His only acknowledgement of a racier world is the stable of fast cars he enjoys driving. As for his 34 years of marriage with Queen ­Silvia, this is held up in ­libidinous Sweden as a ­wonderful example of what ­marriage should be.
At least, that’s how it was. But suddenly the 64-year-old King’s bespectacled image of almost dull respectability has undergone a remarkable transformation.

Image
Transformation: A new biography of King Gustaf of Sweden shows that he is a habituee of wild sex parties involving strippers

In a new biography of the King — who is our own Queen Elizabeth’s third cousin — he emerges as an habituee of wild sex parties involving strippers, sometimes hosted by an infamous Mafia boss in a Stockholm club.

Perhaps most damaging of all is the ­allegation that, over many years, he has been protected by the Swedish secret service, Sapo, hoovering up embarrassing material in his wake and ­pressuring women to hand over compromising pictures.


As the book, The Reluctant Monarch, sold out its entire 20,000 initial print in Swedish bookshops yesterday, this normally ­unshockable country was shaken by the ­startling details amassed by its three ­investigative authors about the secret life their King has apparently been leading.

What emerges is a monarch who has spent a fortune on sex parties and strip clubs.
At one Stockholm club elaborate dinners were followed by liaisons in a communal ­whirlpool with scantily clad women, some of them, it seems, aspiring models.

Sometimes, according to the book, the girls would ‘throw off their clothes and sit in the men’s laps’.
According to the Mafia-linked club owner Mille Markovic, who is quoted in the book, he liked having the King as a customer because it minimised the possibility of police raids.

At the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, where the King of Sweden was ­inevitably a VIP guest, he is said to have spent $10,000 (£7,000) in the Gold Club nightclub, including two hours in a room alone with one of the strippers.
Several women claim they had sex with the King. Indeed, after one big dinner, he is said to have enjoyed sex with two women at the same time

In some instances, Sapo agents have been used to search the homes of women in order to confiscate ­pictures and negatives taken at the King’s private parties.
‘If the rolls of film and pictures aren’t turned over, some ­unpleasant things will happen,’ the book ­startlingly claims.

No fewer than 14 pages are given over to an alleged lengthy affair he had with Camilla Henemark, the beautiful Swedish singer and model whose father was Nigerian and mother Swedish.

Image

To Swedes, it is scarcely ­imaginable that this comfortable man, so ­correct in his role,
so enthusiastic about Scouting as the youth movement’s world chairman and a regular visitor to jamborees, ( ...why does this make me go hmm?... ) could even ­contemplate such a sordid secret life.

IKEA founder 'was Nazi recruiter'

IKEA's billionaire founder Ingvar Kamprad was a member of the Swedish Nazi party and was such a concern to secret service they opened a file on him, according to a new book.

www.telegraph.co.uk

By Richard Orange, Malmö
5:56PM BST 24 Aug 2011

Image
Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad

The 1943 file, revealed in a book published on Wednesday by Swedish journalist Elisabeth Åsbrink, will revive the long-standing controversy over the far right sympathies of the 85-year-old businessman.

It proves for the first time that Mr Kamprad was an active member of Svensk Socialistisk Samling – the successor to the Swedish Nationalist Socialist Workers Party – even detailing his membership number, 4013.

It quotes letters intercepted from Mr Kamprad, then 17, in which he enthuses about recruiting new members and says that he "misses no opportunity to work for the movement".

The secret service concluded that, as Mr Kamprad received the party's youth newspaper, he must have held "some sort of official position within the organisation".

Ms Åsbrink accused Mr Kamprad of failing to come clean about the full extent of his Nazi past.

"He said in 1998 that he would get everything up on the table and that there would be nothing hidden. Why then didn't he tell us that he was a member of the worst Nazi party, and that the police found it serious enough to create a file on him?" she said.

Mr Kamprad has long fought to escape the stain of his involvement with the far right New Swedish Movement, revelations of which first surfaced with the publication of the letters of the group's leader, Per Engdahl, in 1994.

Those letters showed that Mr Kamprad gave money and recruited members, and that Mr Engdahl had been one of a select few invited to Mr Kamprad's wedding.

Ms Åsbrink said Mr Kamprad's feelings about Mr Engdahl remained mixed even today. "Per Engdahl was a great man, this I will maintain for as long as I live," he told her last year in a two-hour interview recorded for her book.

In 1998, Mr Kamprad said he could not remember whether he had been a member of Nordic Youth, Sweden's equivalent of the Hitler Youth, when faced by further revelations.

But he has never admitted to membership of the more radical Svensk Socialistisk Samling, which was so close to the German Nazi party that it had dropped the Swastika symbol only a few years before Mr Kamprad joined.

Ms Åsbrink's book, And in Wienerwald the trees remain, details Mr Kamprad's long friendship with a young Jewish refugee who came to work on his family farm and then played a key role in the team that launched IKEA.

"He came from a background where it was normal to speak badly about Jews, but when he met Otto, they became the closest friends," she said.

A spokesman for Mr Kamprad downplayed the revelations as "old news".

"Ingvar Kamprad gave a detailed account back in 1994 about what he describes as his 'youthful sins' and the 'biggest mistake of his life', apologising and asking for forgiveness from all parties involved. The IKEA he created is based on democratic principles and embraces a multicultural society."

Utterly meaningless I'm sure, but "Larsson" and "dark side" subconsciously made me think of Gary Larson of the 1980s comic strip sensation "The Far Side."
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst that justice prevail.

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.

Ikea 'used political prisoners in GDR as slave labour'

Swedish retail giant Ikea used political prisoners in East Germany as “slave labour” to make furniture, secret police files unearthed by a German broadcaster appear to show.

By Matthew Day
2:31PM BST 05 Sep 2011

www.telegraph.co.uk

Image
Quoted in a Stasi file, Ingvar Kamprad, Ikea's founder, said while he had no official
knowledge of the use of prison labour, if it did indeed exist 'in the opinion of Ikea it would be in society's interests'


Ikea developed strong links with the communist state in the 1970s, opening a number of manufacturing facilities, one of which, according to Stasi records discovered by German television company WDR, used political prisoners to construct sofas.

The factory in Waldheim stood next to a prison, and inmates were used as unpaid labour, it is claimed. Gaols in the Democratic Republic housed significant numbers of political prisoners, with some estimates indicating they made up at least 20 per cent of the entire prison population.

Quoted in a Stasi file, Ingvar Kamprad, Ikea’s founder, said while he had no official knowledge of the use of prison labour, if it did indeed exist “in the opinion of Ikea it would be in society’s interests”.

Hans Otto Klare, who had been sent to Waldheim prison for trying to escape to West Germany, described conditions in the factory as harsh.

“Our labour team lived on the upper floor of the factory with the windows covered,” he told WDR about his time making hinges and other components for Ikea furniture. “The machines were on the lower floor, and you had little rest. On the factory floor you had no proper seating, no ear protection: no gloves. Conditions were even more primitive there then in the rest of the GDR. It was slave labour.”

Another former prisoner said he recognised some of the parts he has made when he went shopping in Ikea after the fall of communism.

In the documentary Sabine Nold, an Ikea spokesman, made no comment on the revelations other than to point out business practices had changed over the past 25 years. An Ikea statement issued later said the company had no knowledge of the use of prison labour, but was sorry if it had occurred.

Kamprad founded Ikea in 1943, aged 17. In 1994 it was disclosed that he had briefly joined Sweden’s pro-fascist New Swedish Movement in 1942.


dave emory wrote:Although much more information would need to be developed to see Kamprad’s lucrative and famous IKEA firm as an element of the Bormann capital network, it does seem reasonable to ask if perhaps the company’s success and its founder’s political associates may be connected.

In that context, it is worth noting that Sweden was home to more Bormann front companies (233) than any of the other neutral nations in which the brilliant Reichsleiter set up the entities which were to serve as repositories for the stolen wealth of the Third Reich, as well as the economic rebirth of the “new” Germany.

I had no idea of the depths of THAT particular rabbit hole, and right next door to boot. He has a free PDF book out (according to Dammegård, no publisher would publish it despite private encouragement). I'm reading it in Swedish, but it seems there's an English edition out. I recommend checking it out, it seems pretty great (although I've only gotten as far as the opening minute-by-minute account of the murder night which reads like a thriller).

http://www.donationto.com/TheAssassinationOfOlofPalme

For many years I have been trying to get my book “Coup d’etat in Slow motion” published, something that has turned out to be a very important but dangerous task.

Not only has it put myself a great risk as times, the un-covering of the real facts behind the assissination of the Swedish Prime minister Olof Palme has also cost the lives of two dear friends.

“Coup d’etat in Slowmotion” / "Statskupp i Slowmotion" is not just any book, but an impeccable study of one of the biggest murder investigations in modern history (with more than 800 pages with lots of photos, documents, detailled maps and images).

What is still claimed to be the deed of madman has turned out to have its roots within the international military complex and world finances at the very highest level, all sanctioned locally from behind impenetrable veils.

We are talking about an international conspiracy the size of the one behind the JFK-assassination. The fact is that it is actually the same Power Elite behind both of them.

My research has led me into a world of international assassinations, arms smuggling, acts of terrorism, weird suicides, as well as a tangled skein of paedophiles and freemasonic rituals.

Agents, mercenaries, right-wing nazi police officers, professional assassins and innocent scapegoats turn up on the pages of this astounding and explosive book that shows a picture of Sweden rarely seen before and which will change the image of this nation for ever.

For the first time, the so-called Police connection, the South Africa connection and the Bofors connection shown to not exclude each other – they make up an interconnected web. Interlinked are also connections across the world with strong connections to the CIA and some South American dictators.
