Sweden has no idea what Trump meant when he said, ‘You look at what’s happening … in Sweden’
The Washington Compose ^ | 2/19/2017 | Rick Noack

Posted on 02/19/2017 10:33:24 AM PST by Cold War Veteran - Submarines

If you believe the media in Sweden, Friday night was relatively uneventful. Among the most noteworthy headlines in the country were reports that a popular Swedish singer had technical problems during a music competition.

My late father (WWII Navy) had a saying: The only thing dumber than a dumb Swede is a smart Norwegian.

Those muslim men raping all those Swedish women are just exercising their freedom of religion.

Their religion teaches them that infidel women are there for the raping.

So there is nothing abnormal for a muslim country going on.

You and others on this thread - in just a couple of minutes of Google time - are able to find examples from the world press of what Trump was talking about. The Washington Post could also do this, but - motivated by hatred of Trump and globalist ideology - they refuse, and actually push in the opposite direction. This is why we are not going to stop using the MSM’s “fake news” meme against them. They are habitual and committed liars.

Last Friday night in Sweden (called norma) was listed by a Swede on Twitter but I can’t find it now.

He listed 7 cars burned, youths shooting fireworks at people on the street and harassing them plus a few other similar incidents.

Then there’s this from earlier in the month:

“Outrage and shock are spreading across Sweden over a case against three men of foreign origin arrested on suspicion of raping a woman and broadcasting it live on Facebook.
Swedish authorities said Wednesday that the case against the unidentified men was “growing stronger” amid an increasing backlash against immigrants in a country that took in more asylum seekers per capita than any other nation in Europe last year.”

Population of Sweden is just under 10 million, so about the size of ONE of our medium-large cities.

So, yeah, peaceful. Just like Islam, peaceful.

Typical FAKE NEWS!

It all started with Sweden's former prime minsiter and foreign minister, Carl Bildt, who tweeted this:

Carl Bildt Verified account ‏@carlbildt

Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking? Questions abound. [Very polite, isn't it? ScaniaBoy]

And then he quoted this piece from the source of all true news /s, Huffington Post:

Donald Trump Appears To Make Up Sweden Terror Attack

And then it started in all the news media in Sweden. Of course the alternative media (the blogs) started to write about the FoxNews Tucker Carlson interview, but the MSM this is seen only as one (less likely) possibility. Instead they are saying that Trump has confused Sweden and Pakistan where there was a terror attack yesterday in a place called "Shewasan" (spelling?). Of course the date, the name and the context are all wrong, but who cares?

Now the Swedish foreign office has asked our anbassador in Washington to ask the White House for clarification. I hope they are getting it in no uncertain terms!

President Trump throws stuff to the (hostile) media like one would throw a stick to a dog... and predictably the media goes chasing after it as if on command. Sweden has a real “refugee” issue... young Muslim men attacking Swedish women is all to common. Much the same as he did with his Electoral College quips at his presser... he knows the media in their frenzy would jump all over his “inaccuracies”. It’s like he knows them better that they do. Would be funny if not so pathetic.

Possible that he tosses that out there, knowing that the internet will publicize all the outrages committed un Sweden by Muslim migrants that he *might* have been referring to.

That was my take on it.

“Haisam Omar Sakhanh, 46, was granted refugee status in Sweden after fighting with an Islamist rebel group in Syria”

Video emerged of him murdering one of seven captured Syrian military forces, execution/ISIS style.
Was sentenced to jail for life in Sweden a few days ago.
(that means about ten years, as I understand it)

Europe has become the new Romance Empire, depopulated, and now both invaded and possibly relying on mercernaries.

That's what I was thinking it was too.

I couldn't remember when I heard it, but there is a steady flow of this chit out of Europe and I just figured that the timing was on and my recollection was off.

Bottom line is even if Trump was off on the time, he was dam sure right on with the message.

"The only thing dumber than a dumb Swede is a smart Norwegian."

Hey! Take that back. I've got family in Norway. You have that joke the wrong way around.

Didn't you know that Norway is building the world's largest zoo? They're putting a fence around Sweden.

And the Norwegian is walking down the road and meets a Swede with a pig on a leash, and he asks "Where on earth did you get that thing?" The pig answers: "I won him in a raffle."

And as the Oslo-to-Stockholm flight is about to land, the pilot announces, "Ladies & Gentlemen, we are about to land in Stockholm, Sweden. Please set your watches back 100 years".

So there!
