The police in Sweden are
waving the white flag.
No taxation without
representation. It’s a principle that the founding fathers of the USA succeeded
in introducing in the 18th century after a long and drawn-out revolution that
cost several thousand American pioneers their lives. Their European cousins, however,
let it slip through their fingers in the 20th and 21st centuries without even
twitching an arm to prevent it. The consequence of this momentous loss is that
any European citizen that today raise legitimate questions about the lack of
democratic process will, figuratively speaking, be hit over the head with
thousands of paragraphs, binding conventions and legislation concocted by
unelected bureaucrats, which the concerned citizen has had no say in shaping or
influencing whatsoever.
We got a brief glimpse into
the way this lack of representation manifests itself in contemporary Europe a
few days ago through the Swedish investigative TV program “Uppdrag Granskning”,
which shone a light on some of the more disastrous side effects of one of the
so-called fundamental “freedoms” of the EU, namely the one that deals with the
destruction of national borders and the accompanying legislation that strips EU
member nations of the right to decide who gets to cross their borders and who
gets to stay. The program’s topic was the massive influx of Roma (gypsies) in
recent years and the enormous problems that these individuals are causing in
Sweden. The report focused primarily on the squalor and littering that seems to
follow this particular group the way a contrail follows the flight path of a
jetliner.
The reporter, Janne
Josefsson, one of the few honest journalists left in Sweden, visited two
different regions of the country, a tiny little village in the Swedish
countryside, Högfors, and the heavily culturally enriched city of Malmö, where
he showed the viewers how the Roma have completely taken over their
surroundings and turned it into what can best be described as third-world
shanty towns. Josefsson also reveals the total lack of consideration shown by
the Roma for the rest of society, and how Swedish authorities deal with the
numerous and revolting problems associated with this ethnic group.
Although the program didn’t
deal specifically with the mass invasion of predominantly Muslim “refugees”
that Europe is currently witnessing, it is still very informative and a
must-see, most of all because it gives us a forewarning of how Swedish
authorities will deal with the Muslim invasion when it starts in earnest in a
few months. The simple answer is that they won’t, at least not if we’re to
judge them by their response to the problems presented in the TV program, where
various government agencies and local police pass the burden of responsibility
for sorting out these issues among themselves like professional soccer players
during a match.
The first half of the
program is dedicated to the devastating fate that have befallen the indigenous
residents of the little village of Högfors in the Swedish countryside, that
have seen an influx of approximately 50-100 Roma in recent years. These “new
Swedes” have moved into old apartment buildings that used to house Swedish
workers in the past and that have now been bought up by private investors who
are renting them out to the Roma. It highlights the legitimate concerns that
the primarily older Swedish inhabitants of the village have, several of whom
are too scared to even venture out of their houses.
One of the Swedish
inhabitant interviewed in the program tells the reporter that the problem is
getting so bad, mostly due to police indifference and inaction, that some of
the villagers have hinted that they might get their guns out and sort the
problem themselves. He adds cryptically that most of the people in the area are
avid hunters, and that the majority of the Swedish households have guns. He is
genuinely worried that some will eventually snap and simply take the law into
their own hands.
The second half of the
program is dedicated to the large groups of Roma that have set up an illegal
squatter camp on an empty, privately owned block of land in the city of Malmö.
And just like in Högfors, the various government agencies and local police,
whose responsibility it is to deal with these issues are passing the ball among
themselves like seasoned soccer pros.
However, the most shocking
segment of the program, and a scenario which will most likely repeat itself in
full when the mass invasion of Muslim refugees begins picking up pace in the
coming months, occurs when the journalist pays a visit to the holiday home of
an elderly Swedish couple that has been broken into by a Roma family of eight,
who have now taken up residence there. The journalist calls up the Swedish
owners, who are in Switzerland, while he’s standing outside the occupied
residence. The old couple tell him that they have reported the matter to the
police, but that they refuse to evict the new tenants because they do not know
who they are, i.e. the police don’t know the identities of the squatters. The
police refuse to do anything to assist the homeowners in repossessing their property,
and they actually insist that the 80-year-old man, who live in Switzerland, fly
back to Sweden and confront the Roma who are living illegally in his house, and
personally obtain the identity of every single member of the household.
It is apparently beyond the
scope of responsibilities of the Swedish police to check the identification
papers of people who choose to reside illegally in others people’s properties.
The distressed owner also tells the reporter that they only recently found out
about the “new tenants” when their daughter showed up to spend her holiday
there and got the shock of her life when she found the Roma family living in
the residence.
This piece of information
should send shivers down the spine of every property owner in Sweden, because
it is a loud and clear message to potential squatters that the Swedish police
are unwilling or simply too cowardly to respect and enforce private property
rights in the country these days. The implication is that any property owner or
tenant can be denied access to his or her home if squatters decide to break
into the residence and move in. This invariably means that “refugees” who catch
wind of this information — and there are probably plenty who already have — can
simply break into a house when they show up in Sweden and move in, safe in the
knowledge that it will almost be impossible to evict them, especially since one
of the criteria for enforcing an eviction order is that the property owner
confront the squatters and obtain their personal data.

The Swedish authorities’
apparent indifference to the basic rights of property owners is alarming and a
warning that the Swedish government will not hesitate to use special existing
provisions that allow them, during a time of crisis, to confiscate privately
owned holiday homes for temporary accommodation for “refugees”. The provision
became law during the civil wars in the Balkans in the early 1990s when tens of
thousands of asylum seekers escaping from the region settled down in Sweden.
And there is no question
that the looming “refugee” invasion and the precarious housing situation in
Sweden, which will become even more desperate in the coming months, will be
classified as a crisis by the Swedish authorities. As a consequence, we can
expect to see the Swedish state begin confiscating private properties this
coming winter, in addition of course to “refugees” taking it upon themselves to
assist the authorities by personally confiscating properties belonging to
ordinary Swedes and in effect rendering these homeless, literally kicked out of
their own homes by the “refugees” that their altruistic government has taken it
upon themselves to invite to Sweden. When this happens, the circle will be complete,
in that a socialist state will actually take their political beliefs one step
further and follow the example of their ideological mentors in the Soviet
Union, namely to disregard private property law and confiscate the properties
of their own citizens.
In some ways it may be
tempting to laugh and make sarcastic comments about how stupid and crazy the
Swedes are for allowing this to happen to their country, but the truth is that
we are all “Swedes” in the sense that what goes on in Sweden also goes on in
our own countries. To a lesser extent, perhaps, and in a slightly less
dhimmified manner. But remember this: the only difference is that the Swedes
are being chauffeured down the multicultural highway in a luxurious Bentley,
whereas the rest of us are driving along at a slightly slower pace and in
slightly more modest vehicles. However, we will eventually arrive at the end of
the road. We’ll arrive somewhat later, but don’t worry: we will all get there
in the end.
