Sweden’s rising crime rate: A riddle no one can solve Grenade attacks? In Sweden? What has caused the placid Swedes to become so unhinged that they are throwing grenades at one another? A couple short decades ago, Sweden was like Japan: a country where the worst threat to your life is being overwhelmed with boredom.... Read More
So much of what's happening comes down to a matter of the Jews vs the World. Granted, plenty of Jews aren't neo-satanist or crazy. Not all are powerful as there are plenty of righteous Jews who speak the truth or a portion of it. The late Stephen Cohen, Brother Nathanael, Norman Finkelstein, Glenn Greenwald, and... Read More
It is generally assumed that leftists are anti-nationalist and pro-globalist, but this overlooks the fact that leftism was as much a father of nationalism as rightism was. Indeed, at certain moments in history, it was leftism that was pro-nationalist while rightism was anti-nationalist. Of course, the meanings and connotations of ‘leftism’ and ‘rightism’ have changed... Read More
The obvious thing to do here is to give Andrew Anglin a permit to burn a Talmud in front of a Stockholm synagogue. I’m serious. Right now, it is very obvious that the Swedish government is specifically targeting Islam for reasons no one can even explain beyond some inexplicable hatred for the people they inexplicably...

Power can be understood in terms of quality vs quantity. If you don’t have quality-power, you must rely on quantity-power. In World War II, the average German soldier was superior to an average Soviet soldier, but the Soviets made up the deficit by sheer quantity. In the Korean War, the US military was far superior...

In Stockholm on Wednesday, there was another government-sanctioned Koran desecration and burning in front of a mosque. It is very unclear why Sweden invited in all of these Moslems to their country and then started provoking them. It’s a very strange and distasteful behavior pattern that verges on inexplicability. Firstly, Koran-burning is very vulgar, and... Read More
The Problem of Holo-Cause Denial among Jews — Stupidity of Swedes in Relation to Jews — Jewish, Black, and Homo Cult...
Rabbi says that goyim who don't kiss Jewish arse is human garbage and 'Anti-Semitic' to boot. But then, the arrogant fruit of secular Jews didn't fall far from the Zionic Tree. In a way, the world owes Jews a debt of gratitude(even if Jews did so for nefarious reasons). Like the story of THE EMPEROR'S... Read More
Earlier: Denmark Produces Immigration Patriot Leftist (!) Female (!!) Prime Minister. What Can U.S. Learn? Being mugged in broad daylight is something you must worry about in “diverse” areas of U.S. cities, “diverse” being leftist code for massively non-white. In December last year, a gun-wielding young black man mugged and robbed an elderly white woman... Read More
Common sense says the GOP or American Conservatives(and Realist-Liberals) can own the Law-and-Order issue in politics. After all, many Americans are concerned about law-and-order, the need to deal with problems of crime and violence that have infested and even devastated many communities across America. Indeed, even entire cities have been overcome with crime and violence.... Read More
Why did Jews need a Covenant with God? It was because they believed in only one God. If Jews believed in many gods for different peoples as pagan folks did, then there would have been no need for the Covenant. Jews would have said Romans have their gods, Syrians have their gods, Persians have their... Read More

It is a government of the kind that the Nordic country hasn’t experienced for a very long time. If it’s telling the truth in its “policy... Read More
“Trust the Science” was the mantra of the Left, and the chronically unable to think, throughout the Covid Pandemic. However, this never meant “trust the results of systematic observation and experiment”—because you always question and refine these, meaning you can never completely “trust” them. Rather, it meant “Trust the Scientists.” And by “Scientists” it did... Read More
Insouciance has a cost, and the cost is now coming home to Western civilization. Perhaps other civilizations have destroyed themselves, but it is certain that the Western world has destroyed itself. Other civilizations might have underestimated a threat, or made a military blunder, or like Cartage antagonized a more powerful foe. But the Western world... Read More

The Kremlin’s weak responses to provocations continue to encourage the West to bring Russia more, and more dangerous, provocations. It is irresponsible for Washington and Washington’s NATO puppet states to provoke Russia. But seeing weakness in the Kremlin, it is hard for the West to restrain itself. The West now dismisses Russian threats as bluster.... Read More
"The Swedish approach to the Covid outbreak has been a failure. This is what emerges from the first systematic scientific study on Sweden's strategy in managing the pandemic carried out two years after the first infections, published in Humanities & Social Sciences Communications through Nature.com." [1] Many uninformed observers, including some on this website, were... Read More
In the US authorities continue to coerce employees, university students, and school children to be injected with a substance that does not protect, but does cause variants immune to the “vaccine” and serious adverse reactions including death. It is an established fact that adverse reactions to vaccines are vastly underreported. Despite this, the databases for... Read More
The once peaceful nation of Sweden is shocked and dismayed after a 33-year-old police officer was executed at random in a Gothenburg suburb. According to a report in Aftonbladet, the officer, Andreas Danman, was on a routine patrol in a suburb with a large immigrant population talking to a group of men when he was... Read More
An interview from earlier today with a Swedish nationalist podcast on the current climate of state terror in America and various historical topics. Listen here.
Ingmar Bergman’s Fanny and Alexander (1982) is one of his finest works. Fanny and Alexander runs 312 minutes—more than five hours. Bergman cut it down to a 188-minute version for theatrical release. The full version was shown as a miniseries on Swedish television but was also released in theaters, making it one of the longest... Read More

While the Covid-19 epidemic continues to drag on in the United States, it's largely over in Sweden where fatalities have dropped to no more than 2 deaths per day for the last week. Sweden has been harshly criticized in the media for not imposing draconian lockdowns like the United States and the other European countries.... Read More
Why is the media so fixated on Sweden's coronavirus policy? What difference does it make? Sweden settled on a policy that they thought was both sustainable and would save as many lives as possible. They weren't trying to 'show anyone up' or 'prove how smart they were'. They simply took a more traditionalist approach that... Read More
Why is the media so preoccupied with Sweden? And why is the media so determined to prove that Sweden's approach to the coronavirus is wrong? Are we supposed to believe that the same MSM that promoted every bloody coup, intervention and war for the last 30 years has suddenly become a selfless advocate for elderly... Read More

In a pandemic, there is no substitute for immunity, because immunity provides the best protection against reinfection. That's why Sweden set its sights on immunity from the very beginning. They crafted a policy that was designed to protect the old and vulnerable, prevent the public health system from being overwhelmed, and, most important, allow younger,... Read More
A 19-year-old Swedish nationalist, identified as Tommie Lindh, died on Sunday after a group of Africans entered a party. According to reporting by Nordfront, he suffered immense blood loss after physically intervening to stop a 22-year-old black rapist named Abubaker Mohamed, who during the fight pulled out a knife and stabbed him at the party...

Some people enjoy isolation and self-seclusion. The Jewish billionaire David Geffen is one of them. He posted the above picture of his yacht onto Social Media saying: “Isolated in the Grenadines avoiding the virus, I’m hoping everybody is staying safe.” It is probably very different from your self-seclusion, and surely different from the seclusion imposed...

At present, there is no vaccine for the coronavirus. That means that one of the two paths to immunity is blocked. The other path is “herd immunity,” in which a critical mass of infection occurs in lower-risk populations that ultimately thwarts transmission. Herd immunity is the only path that is currently available. Let that sink... Read More
There is a lot of conflicting information about Sweden. Some claim that “open” Sweden has no higher infection and death rates than its neighbors, a claim contradicted by this report: Others tauting the “open” Swedish model ignore that according to the Swedish Riksbank de facto the Swedish economy is closed. Sweden has experienced a sharper... Read More

Back in the 1960s, the British academic establishment was rather excited about the work of Karl Popper, the philosopher who developed the concept of empirical falsification. Popper was keen to define the demarcation between the scientific and that which only mimics empiricism and scientism. A theory, according to Popper, can be considered scientific if, and... Read More
The “reopenings” underway in 30 states in the US might be in words only just as the ballyhooed “open” Swedish economy is not open in fact and has been closed by non-participation. The Swedish Riksbank reports that attendance at cinema, events, and sports is off 90%. Business at restaurants and cafes is down 70%, and... Read More

How do you measure success in dealing with an illness for which there is no cure? This is the question we need to ask ourselves before judging which country's approach has been most successful in dealing with the coronavirus. The fact that there is no silver bullet, no vaccine, does not change the fact that... Read More
We have been subjected to much nonsensical disinformation that Sweden has kept its economy open and is faring no worse in infections than countries with closed economies and without the economic consequences of closed-downed economies. The fact of the matter is that de facto Sweden’s economy is closed and is doing no better than anyone’s... Read More

Sometimes, the best thing to do, is to do nothing at all. Take Sweden, for example, where the government decided not to shut down the economy, but to take a more thoughtful and balanced approach. Sweden has kept its primary schools, restaurants, shops and gyms open for business even though fewer people are out in... Read More
In Sweden the rape of white Swedish women by black immigrant-invaders never stops. In the latest outrage four black Eritreans forced a 13 year old Swedish girl into a bathroom and took turns raping her while filming the gang rape. According to the news report, the vaginal rape was “preceded by violence consisting of at... Read More
American neo-conservatives have successfully infiltrated and control the "populist" right-wing opposition party in Sweden, Sweden Democrats (SD). SD won 18% of the vote in the 2018 general election. Once considered a fringe "far-right" party, they have grown thanks largely to hopes that they will do something about Sweden's disastrous immigration situation. SD's ideology is one... Read More
The mass rape of German Women in the aftermath of WW II is now the plight of Swedish women Remember: the same Swedish authorities who do not want to hear rape charges against immigrant invaders made by white Swedish women are the authorities who launched accusations of rape against Julian Assange for consensual relations with...

As a rule I try to see my glass half-full, leaving the half-empty one to other fellows. And now there are some good reasons for an eternal optimist to stick to his positive schedule. Though it tarried, the summer has come, after all, to the North. The skies are blue, the grass is green and... Read More

These days, Sweden is all agog. In the midst of the coldest summer in living history that deprived the Swedes of their normal sun-accumulating July routine, the country plunged into an exciting search for a Russian submarine in the Stockholm archipelago, and (as opposed to the previous rounds of this venerable Swedish maritime saga) this...

One of the greatest pieces of evidence demonstrating that the family/rearing environment has no effect on eventual outcomes is the absence of birth order effects. Birth order is an excellent test for these effects: it is something that systematically differs between siblings and is bona fide non-genetic (mostly). Hence, it's a great way to see... Read More
Who's making more babies? "Good boys" or "bad boys"? Originally, the good boys were, thanks to parental monitoring of relations between single men and single women. The pendulum then swung toward the bad boys in the 1940s, only to swing back after the 1960s. A recent Swedish study has found that "bad boys" are outbreeding... Read More
A steady increase in reaction time seems to begin circa 1980 in Sweden, Great Britain, and the United States (h/t to hbd* chick) Has reaction time been steadily increasing from generation to generation? This was the finding of a paper last year, which argued that mean IQ had fallen in Britain by 13 points since... Read More
Election poster from the 1930s for Sweden’s Social Democratic Party (source). Is the welfare state more workable if the population is more predisposed to obey moral norms? Do we differ genetically in our ability, or willingness, to comply with moral norms? Please note: I'm talking about compliance. The norms themselves can vary greatly from one... Read More
HBD Chick and I talk about how rates of historic inbreeding have had an important impact on the selective pressures acting on the traits of various peoples living today. We have often used Europe and the Middle East as examples of this, because strong regional variations in historic rates of inbreeding exist in those places.... Read More
In my previous post, I noted that the oft-mentioned association between obesity and poor health and "early" death may be a function of the lower average IQ of obese people. I suggested that the true correlate of these things was in fact low IQ. And indeed, I've stumbled on additional studies that suggests that this... Read More
I've just returned from a two week adventure cruising down the Adriatic and into the Ionian Sea visiting many of the sites that together formed the Venetian thalassocracy, which they referred to as the stato da mar. Corfu was astonishing, virtually a little Venice architecturally with traces of the occupying power visible everywhere. Food was... Read More
