Migration and Multiculturalism Crisis: Sweden's Retreat

 

Migration and Multiculturalism Crisis: Sweden’s Retreat – Lessons and Solutions

https://www.rodaportal.net/?p=1054

 

INTRODUCTION

Migration and multiculturalism are two topics that have garnered significant attention and debate worldwide. The complexities and challenges associated with immigration are undeniable, and if not addressed effectively, they can lead to adverse consequences. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of unchecked migration and multiculturalism, using Sweden’s experience as a case study. Our aim is not just to highlight the problems but also to delve into solutions and emphasize the importance of well-thought-out, strategic approaches to these complex issues. Join us on this educational journey!

The Multiculturalism Debate in Sweden:

Multiculturalism, often celebrated as a symbol of diversity and inclusivity, is a defining characteristic of many nations. Sweden, once recognized for its social cohesion and cultural homogeneity, witnessed a transformation in its immigration policy in recent decades. Before welcoming a significant number of immigrants from outside Europe, Sweden’s immigration was relatively low, with an average of around 6,000 immigrants per year between 1871 and 1940, mostly from neighbouring countries such as Germany, Denmark, and Norway, who shared linguistic and cultural similarities with the native Swedish population.

Sweden enjoyed a high standard of living, a well-functioning welfare state, and a low crime rate. The society was tightly-knit, with shared values and a common purpose. However, with the entry of multiculturalism into Sweden’s political mainstream, the country began accepting refugees from non-European countries, leading to a substantial increase in the proportion of immigrants of non-European origin from 2% to 15% between 1985 and 2015.

 

The rapid change in Sweden’s immigration policy led to integration challenges, with many immigrants struggling to find employment and adapt to Swedish society. This transition resulted in higher crime rates, especially in marginalized immigrant communities, where criminal gangs often recruited young immigrants who felt excluded from society.

Sweden’s experience underscores the importance of finding a balance between celebrating diversity and ensuring social cohesion. It highlights the need for thoughtful immigration policies that promote integration and shared values while preserving a nation’s identity and security.

Economic Implications:

Unchecked migration can have significant economic consequences, especially when a considerable portion of immigrants face integration difficulties. Sweden’s economy, which was once robust, experienced changes as it opened its doors to immigrants from non-European countries. This influx of immigrants increased the demand for social services, putting a strain on public resources. Many immigrants relied on state assistance, adding a financial burden to the Swedish economy and diverting funds from crucial services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure development.

Sweden’s experience serves as a reminder of the importance of immigration policies that align with a nation’s economic needs. Policies should promote integration and self-sufficiency among immigrants to ensure their positive contribution to the economy, rather than relying solely on state support. Striking a balance between the economic benefits of immigration and potential economic strain is crucial for addressing the challenges posed by multiculturalism and migration.

 

Crime and Security Concerns:

Sweden’s experience illustrates how a lack of integration can contribute to higher crime rates. Criminal gangs, often composed of marginalized immigrant youths, have become more prevalent in the country, leading to security issues related to gang violence, drug trafficking, and organized crime. These issues not only pose security threats but also impact the overall quality of life in affected areas, raising concerns about public safety.

 

Social Division and Polarization:

The debate around multiculturalism in Sweden has exposed significant societal divisions and polarization. Different cultural groups may not share common values or understand each other’s perspectives, leading to social fragmentation. This division makes it challenging for Swedish society to find common ground on important issues, contributing to political polarization and impeding effective responses to social, political, and economic challenges.

 

The Need for Reform:

Sweden’s experience highlights the need for reform in addressing the consequences of unchecked migration and multiculturalism. Host countries must consider implementing comprehensive policies that prioritize integration, language and cultural education programs, and alignment with economic needs. Immigration should be calibrated to correspond with the nation’s goals, ensuring that immigrants are equipped to actively contribute to the workforce and overall prosperity.

 

Conclusion:

Sweden’s journey offers valuable lessons for nations worldwide grappling with the balance between celebrating diversity and ensuring social cohesion. Responsible and effective immigration policies are crucial, and Sweden’s experience underscores this fact.

The immigrants are of three kinds, in any country, in any historical period.

a) Good guys
b) Criminal elements
c) Hostile elements-spies

The a's are the big majority no doubt (but the wave of Bin-Ladenism after the nineties casts a doubt in this).
So it's a rather worrying prospect.
The racists at the same time are gathering strength and we are caught in the middle.

My grandfather from my mother's side was an immigrant. Fought in Flanders, gained American citizenship, was killed in an industrial accident a little later.
One of my uncle's was also an immigrant in Australia. That one was a war hero.
You know what he did ? He saved Papandreou from the Germans who were ready to transport him to Dachau.
In a kaik boat he crossed the German lines in the Aegean and reached Cairo.
From there Papandreou went to Lebanon to become head of the government in exile while my uncle joined the army and received an award from general Alexander.
Well, many Greeks think Papandreou did not deserve to be saved but anyway after the war Papandreou said to my uncle "you saved me, I owe you a big favour".
To this my uncle replied "fine, arrange with the Aussies a grade A visa for me and my family". He lived there to the age of 105.

If Trump becomes president again, the western alliance will collapse.
Or so Iran/Putin/Hamas think and even if Trump is not an absolute guarantee for this kind of disaster, an absolute guarantee is not necessary to commence action.

She has called the Nakba a lie. The Nakba describes the forced expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians by Zionist paramilitary groups from 1947 onwards. Around 600 Palestinian villages have since been wiped off the map in order to create a Jewish majority in Israel. Israeli historians have called this process “ethnic cleansing”.

The Naqba was a direct consequence of the 1948 war - declared by all the Arab states in the region against Israel.

They attacked because Israel's founding as a nation state itself was an illegal act, plotted out with aid from the yanks and elements in the UK as they wanted a regional catspaw to cause instability and to further THEIR interests.

Same thing the yanks did with their CIA Operation Ajax 1953 coup d'état of Mosaddegh in Iran (at the behest of elements in the UK government and petrol business sphere)

Operation Ajax (1953)

Operation Ajax (1953) (officially TP-AJAX) was an covert operation by the United States CIA in collaborating with the Pahlavi dynasty, to overthrow the elected government of Iran and Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh and consolidate the power of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.

Rationale for the intervention included Mossadegh's socialist rhetoric and his nationalization, without compensation, of the oil industry which was previously operated by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (which later changed its name to The British Petroleum Company) under contracts disputed by the nationalists as unfair. A particular point of contention was the refusal of the Anglo-Iranian Oil company to allow an audit of the accounts to determine whether the Iranian government received the royalties it was due. Intransigence on the part of the Anglo-Iranian Oil company led the nationalist government to escalate its demands, requiring an equal share in the oil revenues. The final crisis was precipitated when the Anglo-Iranian oil company ceased operations rather than accepting the nationalists' demands.

The newly state-owned oil companies saw a dramatic drop in productivity and, consequently, exports; this resulted in the Abadan Crisis, a situation that was further aggravated by its export markets being closed. Even so royalties to the Iranian government were significantly higher than before nationalization. Without its own distribution network it was denied access to markets by an international blockade intended to coerce Mossadegh into reprivatization. In addition, the appropriation of the companies resulted in Western allegations that Mossadegh was a Communist and suspicions that Iran was in danger of falling under the influences of the neighboring Soviet Union. But Mossadegh refused to back down under international pressure.

For the U.S., an important factor to consider was Iran's border with the Soviet Union. A pro-American Iran under the Shah would give the U.S. a double strategic advantage in the ensuing Cold War, as a NATO alliance was already in effect with the government of Turkey, also bordering the USSR.

In planning the operation, the CIA organized a guerrilla force in case the communist Tudeh Party seized power as a result of the chaos created by Operation Ajax. According to formerly "Top Secret" documents released by the National Security Archive, Undersecretary of State Walter Bedell Smith reported that the CIA had reached an agreement with Qashqai tribal leaders in southern Iran to establish a clandestine safe haven from which U.S.-funded guerrillas and intelligence agents could operate.

Operation Ajax was the first time the Central Intelligence Agency orchestrated a plot to overthrow a democratically elected government. The success of this operation, and its relatively low cost, encouraged the CIA to successfully carry out a similar operation in Guatemala a year later.

Widespread dissatisfaction with the oppressive regime of the reinstalled Shah led to the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran and the occupation of the U.S. embassy. The role that the U.S. embassy had played in the 1953 coup led the revolutionary guards to suspect that it might be used to play a similar role in suppressing the revolution.

The leader of Operation Ajax was Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., a senior CIA agent, and grandson of the former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. While formal leadership was vested in Kim Roosevelt the project was designed and executed by Donald Wilber, a career contract CIA agent and acclaimed author of books on Iran, Afghanistan and Ceylon.

As a condition of restoring the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company the U.S. was able to dictate that the AIOC's oil monopoly should lapse. Five major U.S. oil companies, plus Royal Dutch Shell and French Compagnie Française des Pétroles were given licences to operate in the country alongside AIOC.

except the 'Muslim SS' were not Arabs, they were from the Balkans (Croatia, Bosnia, etc etc)

The Free Arabian Legion was never under the control, nor in the structure of the SS.

In regards to Greece: 

The non-SS German-Arab Battalion 845 was formed in the summer of 1943 from units in the Free Arabian Legion. It served in the Peloponnese region of Greece as part of the 41st Fortress Division from November 1943. It participated in the Greek partisan war, particularly against ELAS. In October 1944, it was withdrawn from Greece to Yugoslavia, and in early 1945 was strengthened with the addition of Arabs from a battalion of Arab volunteers that was disbanded before it was fully formed. It ended the war near Zagreb as part of the 104th Jäger Division.
