United States should boycot Sweden?

The rapper A$AP seems to have been unfairly treated by the police in Sweden. First the authorities send in a man to provoke the rapper and the rapper tries to talk the individual down. There is a video showing what took place and it is clear that the unknown person is the one who provoked the situation.

Of course Sweden can be tired of the US music culture.

It is difficult for parents in the Nordic countries to understand why stars do have to be associated with weapons and drugs to enter the music scene.

Fact is that most of the so-called stars would have entered prison for the rest of their lives if they were ordinary persons. Look at how many people who sit in prison in the United States serving time for non-violent crimes just because they took too many perscription pills or moved on to drugs once the medication they got legally did not lower their pain good enough anymore.

Where ordinary people in the United States ends up in prison, the stars protected by lawyers working for the media industry escape the same harsh punishment because they can sell music or movies.

It is not fair.

Nordic parents do not want that kind of music. Of course it is clear that this lifestyle on the edge also enables them to make better music. Look at a person like the musician Earl Sweatshirt. He no longer produce the lyrics, which made him famous, so he is a finished man in the music. His career is over because he did not travel the path towards short prison stints combined with alcohol and drugs. His mother destroyed his career because she sent him to rehab.

Drugs and alcohol sell when it is done connected to the entertainment industry. That is a fact.

So what properly took place is that the government of Sweden decided to put the foot down by framing A$AP just as the Danish police did with another musician Lil Pump. Lil Pump who represented the best the US industry can do was arrested in Copenhagen just because he was a foreigner. It is standard practise in Copenhagen to hit hard on tourists so they learn that they are not welcome. The Danish police beat up soccer fans from Malmoe good some years ago and tourists from Africa learned the hard way that the Danish jails had a special beating team which you can read more about on the website of Amnesty International.

In Sweden they are used cover things up. The murder of their former prime minister Oluf Palme is one case and the failed arrest of a fall-guy in the murder of Anna Lindh which was only prevent due to the existence of video-material is another.

There is no doubt that the Swedish authorities is now working hard to doctor the tapes of the assault on A$AP so they suit the story the Swedish police is inventing.

President Trump is right trying to intervene. The media industry needs to sell the message that a career in the entertainment industry is equal being connected to drugs, weapon and alcohol. It is a question about jobs in Hollywood and the unemployment rate in the United States.

Should tourists then stay away from Sweden?

Yes. By all means!

Do not travel to countries where people do not want you.

I can give an example.

Some years ago many Danish students traveled to Prague during the winter holidays acting just like they do in Denmark. In Denmark cars are sometime burned in the urban areas, the youth rob each other (In Denmark it is now illegal to pay larger amounts in cash, so the police can solve crimes quicker when the robbers demands a wire transfer from their victims using mobile pay.) and drinking alcohol is massive once they legally can buy alcohol with an alcohol percentage under the safe limit of 16.5.

But the authorities in the Czech republic did not allow the young Danes acting as custom is in Denmark, so instead of getting visited by like 10.000 people who put money in their stores almost none visit the countries anymore.

The message from the Czech republic was clear: We do not want tourists. The Danes listened and have avoided the country since 2016.

The message in Sweden where houses where immigrants live are put on fire seem clear. Please avoid Sweden if your skin-color is dark!

So listen like we did in the case of the Czech republic. Stay home!

2016 - a new year with new challenges

I have been busy the last couple of months. Work took a lot of time. Because we are stepping into a new time I will reflect a little. At work some of my co-workers will stop and seek new opportunities. It is fine co-workers but their home is in Sweden and the office they are working in, is placed in Copenhagen.

Thanks to the newly introduced border control they cannot get back home and sleep before they have to wake up and start going to work. I understand them and I am divided on the question of border control. One part of me is Dane where I cannot understand why Sweden steps away from taking responsibility in the migration crisis.

But I am also co-worker. I have to have someone to drink beers with after work, which work is all about. Otherwise we could all work from home never meeting the persons we do business with.

And it is difficult to be a commuter. In Denmark driving to work equals being on the lookout for speed traps all the time. It is very stressful and many times I wish that I could retire early because when you arrive at work you are so stressful and you are not fun for anyone.

2016 will be a difficult year for me both as a Dane and as a co-worker. I am not happy.

Two types of awful television.

I happen to have seen two of the most disgusting TV-shows in my life this recent month.

First I watched the Danish version of the American TV-show Intervention. It Denmark it is called Ultimatum and the concept is that the family confronts the suffering abuser with two option: It is either treatment right now or a total cut-off from the family. While it is a new type of entertainment to broadcast in Denmark, it is also digusting to watch. Because it is not a matter of the abuser being ready to deal with the addiction. It is a choice between two kind of evilness. Either loose the support network or surrender to some kind of unknown and unsearched cultlike treatment. Treatment that in some cases has proven deadly because it is largely an unregulated area. Is that a free choice? Experts state that is not.

Here in Denmark we always were used to that people controlled their own destiny. They have free choices. Among those choices were also the right to destroy their own life. If they wanted to eat the best meat, drink the finest wine and enjoy the finest desert every day until they are overweigth and died from it, it is their choice.

After we have joined the European Union, Denmark have under pressure to a slow change where the free choices are no longer allowed. They pressured our parliament to pass a law with a lower limit on blood alcohol content so Swedish workers could work in Denmark without the social pressure to drink more than they generically are able to. In Sweden the alcohol purchase is heavily controlled and we are used to that they end up drunk down in Elsinore harbor and have to be carried aboard the ferry back to their homeland. Often they do that just by drinking skin milk. We have lowered our limit from the natural 0,08% to 0,05% so they wont kill people while driving home.

They have forced us to introduce a age limit on alcohol and tobacco purchase on 16 and 18 years. In Denmark it has been the custom for more than 200 years for youth to start enjoying these things when they are confirmed aged 14 or 15.

When we are seeing such TV-shows in Denmark it is a serious warning about that our culture is under international pressure and that we need to get our lazy butt out of the couch and vote for a person who wants to pull Denmark out of the European Union.

It is tomorrow. Remember to vote!

The other TV-show I watched was not broadcasted in Denmark. Thanks!

It is the TV-show: The world's strictest parents. You can see it on Youtube for the moment.

The consept is simple. You take two socalled unruly and troubled teenagers and exile them to strict parents far away.

These two teenagers were sent to Alabama to so religious parents, that I was wondering if they really were sent to Iran. Any minute I expected them to return home with a bomb belt strapped to their waste as we have seen it here in Europe.

They were forced to participate in volunteerwork, which is something you have when your country lack some steps in the development so such needs by homeless or others are solved by raising taxes. It was an huge example of disrespect on those two teenagers. In their developed country they pay taxes instead of doing volunteer work and while they were abroad they shouldn't be forced to take on local customs. In Denmark we are used to that some of the immigrants bring the violence they are used to back home to Denmark and while we don't like it, we recognize that it is the price of integration and being able to operate in a globalized world.

The productivity become far higher in a country if you let professionels handle social problems and leave the rest of the population unaware about what is going on, so they can use their time on start firms, work hard in their jobs and inventing products so the country can be in the frontline. That's a lesson we have learned and other countries can learn. The amount of volunteer workers have never been so low as it is in Denmark right now and we are handling the international finansial crisis far better than most nations.

Of course we have some volunteers but it is mostly lonely elderly people who wants to socialize. Basically they are not doing it to help others, but to avoid social isolation which is helping themselves.

So it was a nasty TV-show and it is my hope that we somehow will prevent such show to be broadcast in Denmark. We need to preserve our unique culture and that is yet another reason to step up and take responsbility and vote for a person who wants to pull our nation from the European Union, so we can get the Denmark we once knew back!

Please vote tomorrow June 7, 2009
