1 of my proudest moments #traveling was telling corrupt Swedish private security on the train to Uppsala their so-called "neutral" country was a #Nazi transport center. (See Espen Eidum's Blodsporet.)

After I appealed the ticket, the @EU_Commission did nothing. @usembassysweden

@EU_Commission @usembassysweden The EU wrote it did not have the resources to investigate indiv cases, not even an assault or misconduct by a member state's security against a tourist in a location where video was available. Unsurprisingly, Uppsala is known to be corrupt. @TheLocalSweden thelocal.se/20131119/prope…

@EU_Commission @usembassysweden @TheLocalSweden Despite its reputation for gender equality & progressivism, #Securitas is one of the world's largest private security companies (which favors male employment) & #Sweden is closer to being a police state than most other countries. Remember: the best propagandists r police states.

@EU_Commission @usembassysweden @TheLocalSweden Any country that assisted Nazi Germany tends to traffic in weapons & white supremacy--to this day. Even @IKEAUSA's founder couldn't escape the culture:

@EU_Commission @usembassysweden @TheLocalSweden @IKEAUSA @IKEACanada @IKEAUK @SwedenUN A tweet from @SnoopDogg in 2015, after being arrested in #Sweden: "2 all my sweden fans U can blame YA police dept for never seeing me again in your beautiful country."

@EU_Commission @usembassysweden @TheLocalSweden @IKEAUSA @IKEACanada @IKEAUK @SwedenUN @SnoopDogg Many Swedes realize Stieg Larsson's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series is, at its core, non-fiction. Larsson, who was concerned about rising Nazi movements in Scandinavia, was a journalist who uncovered details about a Swedish PM's murder: theguardian.com/books/2019/sep…
