Is Denmark On The Brink?
Zero Hedge ^ | 3-18-2017 | Erico Matias Tavares

Posted on 03/18/2017 3:57:09 PM PDT by blam

Authored by Erico Matias Tavares via Sinclair & Co.

Iben Thranholm examines political and social events with focus on their religious aspects, significance and moral implications. She is one of Denmark’s most widely read columnists on such matters. Thranholm is a former editor and radio host at the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), at which she created a religious news program that set a new standard for religious analysis in the newsroom. She has traveled extensively in the Middle East, Italy, the United States and Russia to carry out research and interviews. She has been awarded for her investigative research into Danish media coverage of religious issues."

E Tavares: Iben, thank you for being with us today. Over a year ago we talked to Dr. Tino Sanandaji, an economics professor at a leading Swedish university, on the inconsistencies of Swedish immigration policies. The resulting post was hit, revealing a significant interest for this topic.

In a sense Sweden is the canary in the coalmine of Europe’s demographic future, since they have been at the forefront of this transformation and openly embrace it. Being a close neighbor we would like to get your views on what is happening there, as well as in Denmark. How do the Danes look at Sweden, with hope or apprehension?

I Tranholm: With absolute horror!

The Swedish media, which is quite pro-government and its leftwing policies, does not always report the full extent of the problems in their society. So it is hard to have a very accurate picture of what is going on. But we in Denmark have a good sense. We are very aware of the murders, rapes, riots, violence and the hand grenades that go on there. This does not often make the news but we know it is going on.

The author is a Christian and expressing her faith openly. I guess the Left in Denmark can’t handle that.

Definitely go to Zero Hedge and read the entire interview. She is being blacklisted in her country as a “pro-Russian propaganda agent,” because she has written stories about Christianity in Russia along with her examination of the growth of Islam in Sweden, Denmark and the rest of Western Europe.

An exerpt:

Interviewer: Denmark is supposedly the happiest country on the planet. But you have little reason to be happy these days as you find yourself on the receiving end of government censorship, not only for expressing your concerns about the future of your country but also for working for a Russian news outlet. What happened here? You recently wrote a powerful piece about this, expressing your feelings not only as a woman who does not toe the party line but especially as a Christian.

Iben Thranholm: In 2015 I wrote an article criticizing our politicians who for the most part hate Christianity but nevertheless use Christian values, especially charity and compassion, to promote their own agendas, in particular mass immigration. So I called them out on that.

Yea, it’s not just Denmark on the brink, its all of Europe. And it’s a damn scary proposition.

Time for Denmark to invade Sweden for its own preservation? Better decide soon Danes, before it gets even worse than it already is.

Agree.

She is a very wise and very BRAVE lady!

The entire interview is a must read.

Another Except:

“Today, in a society where supposedly there is freedom of speech, if politicians want to silence their critics they simply accuse them of working for the Kremlin, or having some unexplained ties with Russia. That is what happened to me, and it also happening to high profile politicians and journalists in the US, France and Germany. If you don’t agree with the multicultural policies of Europe then you are labeled a Russian agent.

They are so afraid of the rise of what leftist politicians in Europe call “populism”, which threaten the existence of their beloved European Union. And this year the stakes are very high with elections in France and Germany. So they resort to these kinds of tactics to quash any dissenters.

So I find myself in a blacklist in a supposedly free country like Denmark, but if a conflict with Russia emerges I can end up in prison under the pretext of being a foreign agent. Again, with no proof and no judicial process. This is very much how totalitarian societies operate. First they put you on a list, then when there is a problem or a made-up reason they will come for you.”

THEN.....THEY WILL COME FOR YOU!!

Yep. That’s where we’re heading.

The left rounded up and killed the Jews 80 years ago.

This time they’re coming for the Christians.

We no longer have a moral compass. Before, Christianity provided this role, keeping us united over centuries. Now we can no longer distinguish between good and evil, and ultimately this is what this struggle comes down to. Without this any preventive measures like this are just quick fixes that will not solve anything over the longer term. What is needed is a positive alternative in a moral sense.

That is a problem infecting the whole world, and the real threat. Global Warming/Climate Change cannot hold a candle to that threat.

"There was a TV ad partially paid by the Swedish government recommending that all Swedes integrate into this new multicultural society they are creating. Think about that. Even old Swedes now need to adjust to this new reality, instead of immigrants adapting to Swedish society. They call it “Det nya landet”, which means the new country. Traditional Sweden is gone.

There is no doubt that a world war is coming.... The left against the right.. Evil against the good... Islam and its foolish supporters against Christianity and all civilization everywhere...

But the battle lines are going to be real easy to find.... There going to be right in our very own homes.... When we send our children off to school, what comes home is something we don't recognize anymore.. And they see us as....I don't know, as stupid filthy raciest pigs I guess and they can't stand to be around us anymore...

Hard times ahead...

The only thing that can save Europe right now is a true spiritual, dare I say Christian, revival across the Continent.

Exactly.

In the end, it will be the only thing which can save America as well.

At that point, the only things you can do are homeschool or have an intense deprogramming session with your kids every day of their schoolgoing lives. If it came to that, I’d say “Don’t believe a word that cow says including “if”, “and” and “the”, she’s a shill and a liar.” Never too late to start the lessons of “In God we trust, all others show proof.”

When I was a kid, I saw a sign in a store which read....

“In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash.”

This is a very powerful interview. Yes, Denmark is on the brink, and so is most of Europe. She describes how the anti-Christian Marxist and Muslim culture war is destroying western civilization.

Is Denmark On The Brink? Of there being no Denmark? Yes!

Danish women don’t want children anymore so the government has to saddle their debt on to some stupid rubes, which is why they and the rest of the Euro-peon countries are importing them with a madness that defies explanation.

Europe won’t be around much longer. Give them maybe 20 years at the most. That’s being very optimistic.

I read that Danish parents give their married children moneyh for vacations in hopes they’ll get frisky and make grandchildren.

While the muzzies there are like old school Catholics - making lots of babies.
