He sounds like he’d fit right in with the Birchers and 9/11 Truthers:

His paper “Democratic State v Deep State” is a standard modern text on the existence and nature of the so called “Deep State” in the Western World... His paper “The use of terrorism to construct world order” puts the events of 911 into the context of earlier post-WWII terrorist attacks. It demonstrates that terrorism is indeed a carefully orchestrated and calibrated Machiavellian tool of the Western Security elites and is being used systematically to move the world towards Anglo-US-NATO hegemony.

His books from the 1980s accepted the official view. In 1983, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme protested against the “Soviet intrusions”. He was forced to cancel his policy and deep-freeze Sweden’s diplomatic relations to Moscow... a stranded Soviet submarine in 1981 and... a dramatic anti-submarine operation in 1982 with midget submarines inside Swedish naval bases... forced Sweden to deep-freeze its Soviet ties. However, in the 1990s, Tunander was told by U.S. and British officials that these operations were run by the U.S. and the U.K. In 2000 former U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and former U.K. Navy minister Keith Speed stated on Swedish TV that their subs had operated “regularly” and “frequently” in Swedish waters to test Swedish defenses after navy-to-navy consultations. This information was confirmed by British Chief of Defence Intelligence Air Marshal Sir John Walker... a Swedish Government inquiry under Sweden’s former Washington Ambassador Rolf Ekeus with Ambassador Mathias Mossberg as Secretary and with Tunander as a civilian expert. Tunander wrote a Swedish book... which emphasized the submarines role to change Swedish public opinion and foreign policy. Tunander argued that Soviet submarines might very well have entered Swedish waters, but the more visible operations were most likely PSYOPs decided by a U.S. “deception operation committee” chaired by CIA Director William Casey, and some of them were run by a CIA-Navy liaison office, National Underwater Reconnaissance Office (NURO), headed by Secretary of Navy John Lehman.
