Ghetto Sweden Posted on January 29, 2020 Jimmie Åkesson, the leader of the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna), caused outrage when he appeared on state TV and declared that all of Sweden was a no-go zone. Many thanks to FouseSquawk for translating this article from Fria Tider: Åkesson: “All of Sweden Is a Ghetto” January 28, 2020 There are not only “vulnerable areas” in certain places in Sweden. The whole country is such an area, says Sweden Democrat (SD) leader Jimmie Åkesson on SVT [Swedish Television] Aktuellt on Tuesday evening. On Tuesday evening, Justice and Migration Minister Morgon Johansson (S) and Sweden Democrat party leader Jimmy Åkesson (SD) met in a debate on SVT Aktuellt 21. The topic was so-called “quota refugees”. Johansson wants Sweden to continue filling the country with thousands of people from the Third World. Sweden accepts about 5,000 quota refugees every year, mostly from Africa and the Middle East. Åkesson held the opposite view. “Sweden is full,” he explained. Morgon Johansson believes that Jimmie Åkesson lacks empathy because he doesn’t want quota refugees. We are talking about the “most vulnerable” people imaginable, he [Johansson] argued. The minister went so far as to suggest that the SD leader is racist and really doesn’t want people in the country who don’t look like typical Swedes. “Don’t talk to me about compassion. You chose to prioritize 9,000 adult Afghan men without asylum. Year after year, you prioritize people who should not be here. Where is the compassion for the elderly people who cannot access the welfare they are entitled to? Where is the compassion for all those who cannot get the care they need? People are dying in health care queues today in Sweden, and you want even more to come here and share the welfare? There isn’t any room for that,” answered Åkesson. Johansson made a weak effort at a comeback and repeatedly appeared anxious and unsure. He trembled as he spoke. “My opinion is that all of Sweden is a vulnerable area today,” the SD leader maintained. That statement made Annika Strandhäll (S) go through the roof. Sweden is the best country in the world. That is a fact, she believes. “Åkesson stands there in Aktuellt and says that all of Sweden is a vulnerable area today. He should get a counter-question. Thus, Sweden is the land that has the highest reputation in the world. When will the ‘black-painting’ SD and right-wing movements subject themselves to factual examination,” Strandhäll writes on Twitter.

Evicted to Make Room for Culture-Enrichers

The following video from Germany reports on a practice that has now become fairly commonplace: the eviction of elderly native citizens from their apartments to make room for a higher-density cohort of migrants. This is happening not only in Germany, but also in Sweden, and possibly other Western European countries as well. Several years ago there was a proposal to do something similar in the UK. Older residents whose children had grown up and left home were said to be “selfish” to hang onto to their large residences with all those empty bedrooms, given that there was a housing shortage in the country. And that shortage was, of course, due to mass immigration from the Third World.

What I notice about these stories from Germany is that the evicting landlord is always the municipal government. In the USA, almost all rental properties are privately owned. There is some government-owned housing, but even Section 8 housing is usually privately-owned with a government subsidy. If eviction takes place, it is a private landlord doing the evicting.

In Germany, however, the municipalities seem to own most of the urban apartments. That means when the government implements a policy of resettling migrants, it can push people out of their apartments when needed. Displaced tenants evidently have some options for making legal appeals, but not as much as they would if their rental contracts were in the private sector.

Video transcript:

00:00		A 150-square-meter apartment with six rooms for €500 per month.
00:04		You can hardly get an apartment like that anymore.
00:08		Klaus Roth and his partner have lived in such an apartment in Neckartailfingen for 24 years.
00:14		The two assumed that nothing would change in their living situation
00:18		before they received mail from the municipality.
00:21		What is going on here? I was asked to come to the town hall.
00:25		I thought they just wanted to talk to me, and now
00:28		they are giving me an eviction notice. They told me, well,
00:31		you know that we need flats for the asylum seekers.
00:34		The Roths won’t settle for that, so both parties have met in court.
00:41		Klaus Roth and his partner Maria Seidl are trying to clear the air
00:45		with Mayor Gerhard Gaedicke at the Nürtingen district court.
00:49		The retired couple will be evicted from their six-room apartment in Neckartailfingen.
00:53		They are willing to do so,
00:56		but the price and the surroundings must be right.
01:00		So the main point was to get a moving allowance, not only for the costs,
01:04		but also to clean out the apartment and put the furniture back together in the new apartment.
01:12		They also don’t want to pay a deposit because
01:15		they didn’t pay for their current apartment from the municipality.
01:19		These demands still have to be approved by the municipal council.
01:22		At the moment, the mayor has offered the couple a two-room apartment.
01:26		I have now offered them another apartment to look at, which is the third one we’ve offered
01:30		to Mr. Roth and his partner. By this, I think you can see that
01:35		as landlords we are very responsible towards our tenants.
01:39		No one is being thrown out on the street. We are offering an alternative.
01:43		If these options aren’t sufficient, the community
01:46		has no others to offer. —The retired couple have been
01:50		living in this apartment for 24 years. Klaus Roth has
01:54		put a lot of initiative and money into the rental apartment.
01:57		However, last year the community terminated their
02:00		rental agreement due to its own needs. —We, like all communities
02:05		in Esslingen county, have to take in and
02:10		accommodate asylum seekers, and that’s the reason why we want to use this apartment.
02:16		Neckartailfingen still has to accommodate a total of nine refugees.
02:20		This six-room apartment with 150 square meters,
02:23		a balcony, and a garden is earmarked for them. On the other hand, the question arises as to why
02:29		the over-70 pensioner couple are being forced to move out?
02:32		Klaus Roth has already suffered a stroke and
02:35		a move is unreasonable burden for him. —He’s not healthy,
02:39		and his partner is also very incapacitated health-wise.
02:42		So for me there is a question of whether this eviction and move go beyond reasonable expectations.
02:46		Should both sides not agree in March, the judge must make the ruling
02:49		and assess the limits of reasonable expectation.

Jizya From the Kuffar on the Bus in Nijmegen
Posted on February 8, 2020 by Baron Bodissey

I’ve posted several times in the past about troubles with culture enrichers on a bus line in the Dutch town of Nijmegen. In a new twist, asylum seekers on the bus have been demanding that native Dutch passengers pay their fares for them — and raising a ruckus if their demands aren’t met.

Many thanks to C for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Video link

Video transcript:

00:01		What’s going on with Line 99 in Nijmegen?
00:04		We’re having some trouble with a group of 25 asylum seekers, in Grave,
00:08		and that leads to discussions on the bus about the fare, refusing to pay,
00:12		wanting to pay less, aggression towards the staff, intimidation,
00:16		which prompted us to bring in extra security on that line.
00:20		So extra security is needed on the bus because otherwise the situation is not sustainable?
00:25		Then our drivers can do their work safely, and if something happens,
00:28		our people will be on the scene immediately. —What kind of incidents are these?
00:31		Mainly verbal aggression towards the driver. Cursing, shouting,
00:36		which creates a very unpleasant atmosphere. The bus is halted, passengers arrive late,
00:41		may miss a connection. All undesirable consequences.
00:44		How often do you ride line 99? —I have an internship every Wednesday and Thursday,
00:49		so, twice a week. —Do you think extra security on this line is a good idea?
00:54		Yes, I approve. Because it’s better for the drivers if it’s safe, they’re just doing their job.
01:01		Yes. Because you wouldn’t want an accident to happen in this bus, and you don’t want to take risks,
01:07		so I approve. —Have you personally had trouble with this group of asylum seekers?
01:11		Not trouble, really, but if I tell them, “Sorry, I prefer not to pay for other people,”
01:18		They say, “Yes, but you students have money”. And I tell them, “Sorry,
01:22		find another person. I can’t do that, unfortunately.”
01:26		So you’re saying the real reason they’re getting mad is that they don’t have enough money
01:30		to buy a bus ticket. —I think so, yes. That’s the reason.
01:35		And if you know who they are, isn’t it possible to just ban this group from the bus?
01:40		That’s possible. We do that, in the form of transportation bans. We contact police if necessary.
01:46		But a ban must be enforceable. A driver can’t tell if somebody has a ban just by looking.
01:52		So that’s why it’s important for security to be present, and perform regular checks.
01:57		But the reality is, you can remove somebody from the bus, and he can return the next day.

A Swedish Look at Tommy Robinson

The following documentary about Tommy Robinson was made by the Swedish dissident website Samhällsnytt under the direction of Kent Ekeroth, who did the interviews and narration. Mr. Ekeroth is an anti-Islam activist and a member of the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna).

The Swedish portions of the video have been translated and subtitled in English, except for the wrap-up at the end, which is only summarized. The English portions of the footage are not included in the transcript.

In this video Tommy is given an extended opportunity to explain himself and narrate his experiences in the EDL, with the media, and in prison. It includes excellent footage of Modern Multicultural Luton, which has been thoroughly Islamized. It also excerpts from earlier videos of Tommy going back almost ten years.

Video transcript:

00:27		Tommy Robinson is one of England’s most well-known people.
00:30		About ten years ago he established the English Defense League,
00:34		an organization which was later to develop into a mass movement.
00:38		From that moment and on, the country was divided into two parts.
00:41		In the first he is hated by the establishment, and in the second
00:44		he is loved by most of the people who reside in the reality,
00:47		and the working class where he originated. I’m here to meet Tommy Robinson
00:51		to ask him about the reason he started the mass movement,
00:55		his future plans, and what is his worst fear.
01:11		I’m outside of London; we are on our way to meet Tommy.
01:36		Meeting Tommy Robinson
01:44		This is Luton, UK in 2009.
01:47		English soldiers are praised after coming home from service overseas.
01:52		But the celebration was interrupted by a group of Islamists,
01:57		who gathered to denigrate and to humiliate the soldiers.
02:00		This leads Englishmen to be become seriously irritated.
02:04		Which led to another demonstration on May, the same year,
02:08		and it was arranged by the United People of Luton.
02:11		The demonstration was organized by Tommy Robison,
02:16		which then became known as The English Defense League.
05:00		Driving through Luton.
05:19		I’m at the mosque attended by the Stockholm suicide bomber in 2010.
05:24		He carried out a failed attack and didn’t murder anybody;
05:28		he detonated himself on a side street. This is where he was going and where he was radicalized
05:33		before he went off to Stockholm to attempt to murder innocent people.
07:49		When I was going through the city with Tommy,
07:52		I was really struck by the enormous demographic changes in the city.
07:56		I thought Malmö was bad!
08:06		But Luton was definitely a lot worse.
08:09		We drove for more than an hour through large sections the city.
08:13		We drove by schools, and the central areas which were previously English neighbourhoods.
08:20		Everything has changed!
08:23		Luton has ceased to be an English city!

15:09		Birmingham: Tommy meets supporters on several occasions during the autumn of 2019,
15:12		to thank them for their support. Among other things, they donated to help with his court trials,
15:15		because these courts are very expensive. This is the first of these meetings.
15:18		Tommy meets his supporters in Birmingham.
15:24		Tommy meets his supporters in Birmingham.
16:14		On the next day we walked through his hometown, Luton.
19:22		Tommy is immediately recognized.
24:46		Excerpt from BBC Newsnight by Jeremy Paxman in 2010.
27:49		During the meeting in Birmingham, Tommy talked about
27:53		the way the establishment tries to break him down by suing him in the courts.
27:57		He is sued for defamation because of a high-profile case in England.
28:01		Here, he talks about this case. Tommy explains
28:04		that he is the only journalist who reported that the English boy was wrongly targeted
28:07		by a hate campaign in the media. As a result of the hate campaign, the boy attempted suicide.
28:35		Tommy Robinson was sued for defamation,
28:40		because of a school fight which drew a lot of attention in England.
28:44		A English boy poured water on a Syrian immigrant boy.
28:51		Because of that, he was accused of racism! It became a big news.
28:54		Piers Morgan and many others talked about it on TV.
28:57		To bring clarity, Tommy traveled there himself.
29:02		What he found out that the Syrian boy wasn’t as innocent
29:08		as the media wanted to depict him, and made a report about it.
29:13		He is now being sued by the Syrian boy because of that reportage,
29:18		and he currently risks millions of Swedish kronor
29:22		in trial expenses and in damages.
29:33		A link to the documentary he talks about is in the description box below.
30:28		Excerpt from Rebel News, 13 November 2019
31:03		Excerpt from Ruptly, 14 November 2019
32:34		During the meeting in Birmingham, Tommy gets emotional
32:37		when he talks about how they try to hurt his wife and child.
41:45		We visit the Discover Islam Center in Luton to ask questions.

45:54		Excerpt from BBC Newsnight 2018.
48:45		Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephan Yaxley-Lennon, during EDL’s early years.
54:35		I want to reaffirm what Tommy said at the end:
54:39		we need to wake up as many as people possible
54:44		regarding what is happening in our countries as well in other countries.
54:47		This could be possible by alternative media platforms,
54:51		which many of you are supporting.
