The Sweden video is chilling, but unsurprising.
People who have been “welcomed,” under the guise of diversity, actually have no prospects there.
They also have no cultural affiliation with the country that generously took them in, nor any understanding of the Scandinavian “chilled” mindset (or the British mindset, if we transpose this into our situation)
They mask up and assault their hosts. They have developed none of their new hosts’ social norms embedded by their childhood teachings, which were in a harsher place.
First generation migrants, almost anywhere and at almost anytime, have almost always found it difficult to earn well in their new home (except perhaps if they share their hosts’ language.) Second generation would usually have fared better. Third (and so on) would (sometimes) be considered native.
And yet we’re racists if we say: slow down; if we’re going to do it, do it properly.
The video is 7 years old.
would be interesting to go back now and see what has happened to ‘little Mogadishu ‘.
Which video is 7 years old?
The date on the video above is 24/02/24?
I’m not quite with you?
Here’s the YouTube one from 7 years ago. The starting point has been set to show it’s clearly the same footage.

What’s really going on?
Russia funds Hamas, so we can take it that much of the faux outrage, protests in London, at Israel’s military actions in Gaza, no doubt including on this site, are funded, directly or indirectly, one way or another, by Putin.
While allegations that Russia transferred weapons to Hamas remain unproven, Russia has at the very least facilitated material support for the group: on the eve of the 7th October attacks, Hamas received millions of dollars through a Moscow-based crypto exchange.
No wonder Putin is ramping up measures against Britain and the U.S. The American strategy of weakening Russia, laying the groundwork for increased U.S. influence in the Black Sea, is working well. There exists the potential to transform the Black Sea into a new market for the European Union with a new energy corridor that provides Europe with oil and natural gas from Central Asia.
The United States has long recognised the geo-strategic importance of the Black Sea region. Not only does the Black Sea border three NATO Allies and several NATO partners, but it is also a vital corridor for the movement of goods—including Ukrainian grain and other products bound for world markets—and hosts significant untapped energy resources.
Since the collapse of the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI), Ukraine’s momentum has allowed it to dominate the western Black Sea. This has resulted in an increase in its exports via the unilateral Humanitarian Corridor, delivering higher trade volumes than under the BSGI, putting them on par with pre-war levels.
That is why, in due course, Congress will pass the next Ukraine aid package, and Trump will continue that support.
The United States is not a country. It’s a business. We would do well to learn from that……
The UK Government has also been funding Hamas, via foreign aid for Palestine.
And through the UN.
Britain had given $20m to UNRWA before funding was suspended; chump change……
UNWRA has a $325m annual budget for Gaza.
Hamas has an annual budget of $2.5bn, $41m in 2023 via crypto. Hamas said it would back away from crypto, after a spate of losses…..
The pro palestinian protests have also been funded by Neville Singham and Jodie Evans via ‘the peoples forum’
‘…a review of public disclosure forms shows that multimillionaire Singham and his wife Evans have donated over $20.4 million to The People’s Forum from 2017 to 2022 through a series of shell organizations and donor advisory groups — accounting for nearly all of the group’s funding.’
‘The People’s Forum hosts classes like “Lenin and the Path to Revolution,” praising countries like China and Cuba that have “smash[ed] the shackles of Western imperialism,”
The peoples forum is is focusing on its pro-Palestinian agenda, calling for “more marches, walk-outs, sit-ins, and other forms of direct action directed at the political offices, businesses, and workplaces that fund, invest, and collaborate with Israeli genocide and occupation.”
The next protest co-organized by the forum, called “Shut It Down for Palestine,” is taking place…..in at least 18 locations across the world….’
Follow the money……..
Singham is more than just a Marxist with deep pockets. He is also a China sympathizer who lives in Shanghai and has close ties to at least four propaganda news sites that boost the Chinese Communist Party’s image abroad.
Evans is a far left political leader, a former Democratic political activist and presidential campaign manager for Jerry Brown…….
If you’ve not already seen it, amazing footage of the turnout in Sao Paulo for Bolsonaro yesterday. I’m digging the amount of Israeli flags present too, like a big ”f*ck you!” to that nasty piece of work, Lula. Bloody antisemite;
”While Brazilian socialist President Lula da Silva is under significant pressure after calling Israelis genocidal Nazis, he is still the MSM’s darling, while the hugely popular former President Jair Bolsonaro is given a sub-standard treatment.
It is indeed significant that the half-baked Reuters report does not feature a single picture of the MASSIVE rally, but rather is illustrated by a picture of Bolsonaro leaving Federal Police headquarters after they took his passport.
“Supporters of Jair Bolsonaro gathered on Sunday on Sao Paulo’s iconic Paulista Avenue to show support for the former far-right Brazilian president as he finds himself embroiled in several investigations that many believe could land him in jail.”
Look how they quickly skip from the rally to his legal troubles.
Targeted by non-stop harassment by Lula’s lackluster government, Bolsonaro called his followers to rally.
He said it’s a ‘peaceful gathering in favor of the rule of law and our freedom, families and future’.
And Brazilians responded en masse.”

Thanks for drawing attention to that massive rally in support of Bolsonaro, the True President of Brazil. Corrupt, evil Communist Lula has already tried to assassinate Bolsonaro once before, and it seems Brazilians are taking the lesson of heroic Navalny’s death to heart.
Alexei Navalny: Putin critic about to be freed in prisoner swap when he died, says ally – BBC News
“According to Ms Pevchikh, Russian President Vladimir Putin changed his mind about the deal at the last minute. She said he “could not tolerate Navalny being free” – and since there was an agreement “in principle” for Krasikov’s freeing, Mr Putin decided to “just get rid of the bargaining chip” and “offer someone else when the time comes.”
“Putin has gone mad with hatred for Navalny,” Ms Pevchikh said. “He knows Navalny could’ve defeated him.”
As a former KGB officer, President Putin is used to saying – or promising – one thing, and then doing something completely different.”

When Thic Quang Duc self-immolated in Vietnam it became one of the defining moments of the War. Why do I doubt this will have the same effect?
Really not sure why The Guardian and BBC are not all over this.
Because it’s too pathetic, pointless and insane. That poor, brainwashed, healthy young man with his whole life before him, threw his life away in a horrific manner, and his name and action will be forgotten by tomorrow, especially by those for whom he threw his life away. They will think he was just crazy and stupid. And they will be right.
His name will not be forgotten; be assured of that.
More on “AI” from the redoubtable Steve Sailer – two absolute crackers: Google Gemini on who had a more negative impact on humanity: Joe Stalin or J.K. Rowling?, by Steve Sailer – The Unz Review
Lol, it’s certainly a close call deciding between JK and JS
The normies need to wake the f up and realise that the world’s largest corporations have gone full-on satanic.
One thing it does though, because the AI is unfiltered woke, is show how absurd these ideologies are when applied to ridiculous questions.
Yes I think the bastards are so arrogant they have overplayed their hand
A very interesting, thought provoking presentation yesterday evening to MD4CE by Alex Krainer of his research into the evidence behind the portrayal of Putin in the West by MSM & politicians. Alex said that what he found surprised him & challenged his long held beliefs.
Worth watching if one is a true sceptic & a seeker of a more rounded, nuanced position.

Obviously, similar to a good Vegan rejecting any exploitation of animals, the country will be sure to only import renewable electricity. We don’t want electrons tainted with carbon in our grid, do we?

“a technology which may not be ready by then”
It’s 2024 now. For any major, critical infrastructure to be ready for 2030 or even 2035, the “technology” would need to have been sorted ages ago, and by this time we would need to be seeing commercial, industrial, working, large-scale facilities already deployed so that real-world testing could be carried out, and work underway to complete the rest of the facilities in the next small number of years. I’m not aware any of these things have happened. There’s no “may” about it – this is a complete fantasy, which might as well be that we would have warp drives powered by dilithium crystals.
Even if we achieve generating and storing ‘green’ hydrogen at scale by 2035 (
unlikelyimpossible as we don’t generate enough spare ‘green’ energy) I don’t think anyone has yet run a full size grid generator using the stuff. Hydrogen is not just a gas to be substituted like-for-like with methane (natural gas), it is uniquely difficult to work with.Suggesting that the ‘vision’ for Winter 2035 is for us to import 25% of our electricity is in no way aiming for energy security.
We imported about 10% last year. How could it be feasible that we could import two and a half times that by 2035? Are the people we import from building that much excess capacity?
What??? You mean someone else has to generate it if we import it? Hmm, they might even be trying to use their ‘excess’ to generate their own ‘green’ hydrogen or charge their electric cars. Bastards.
Indeed. It suits France at present but will that always be the case?
