« Regardez ce qui se passe en Allemagne, regardez ce qui s’est passé hier soir en Suède. La Suède, qui l’aurait cru ? La Suède. Ils ont accueilli beaucoup de réfugiés, et maintenant ils ont des problèmes comme ils ne l’auraient jamais pensé », a-t-il lancé, dans un discours virulent en Floride, en défense de sa politique anti-réfugiés. Il a également cité les attentats, réels ceux-là, de Bruxelles, Nice et Paris. Problème : il n’y a pas eu d’attentat en Suède ces derniers jours.

Edward Snowden interview with Dagens Nyheter - DN Fokus
►http://fokus.dn.se/edward-snowden-english

Is it about fighting terrorists or about winning elections?
– It’s just it’s still politically beneficial. They can show that they’re doing something. When they use the word security, they’re not talking about safety. What they’re talking about is stability. Like when they’re saying that they’re saving lives by bombing them. Stability is the new highest value. It’s not about freedom, it’s not about liberty, it’s not even about safety. It’s about avoiding change. It’s about ensuring that things are predictable, shapeable, because then they are controllable.
At least you think they are.
– Right. You think they are controllable.
Until IS comes along and destroys the whole idea.
– Right. Like with the drone program, which creates more terrorists than it kills. There was no Islamic State until we started bombing these states. The biggest threat we face in the region was born from our own policies.

Notes sur Carl Bildt, Gladio et le sous-marin russe

• On peut lire sur ce site l’article d’Israel Shamir sur l’affaire du (des) sous-marin(s) russe(s) à l’assaut de la Suède. •Le montage évident d’octobre 2014 est devenu soap opera ces derniers jours, avec la découverte d’un sous-marin russe coulé dans les eaux territoriales suédoises. •Glou glou, il a été coulé en 1916, et la seule piste intéressante à suivre est de savoir si le commandant n’était pas le grand-père de Poutine. •Shamir décortique l’affaire avec le rôle de Carl Bildt, déjà actif en 1982 dans une première affaire du même type. •Et nous retrouvons, – coucou, le revoilà, – Gladio en pleine forme.

The battle for Santa Claus’s home - AzerNews
▻http://www.azernews.az/analysis/75183.html

By Carl Bildt, Former prime minister and foreign minister of Sweden.

A couple of years ago, a Canadian minister proudly declared that Santa Claus was a citizen of Canada. After all, his home and toy factory are at the North Pole, which, according to the minister’s interpretation, belongs to Canada.

Though Santa Claus has not commented on the matter, it is now clear that he could choose several passports when he travels the world on December 24th. In 2007, a privately funded mini-submarine planted a Russian flag directly beneath his alleged home. And two weeks ago, Denmark, which has sovereignty over Greenland, staked its own territorial claim, also covering the North Pole.
(…)
How to assess countries’ claims to Arctic territory hinges on the status of the Lomonosov Ridge, a vast formation that rises from the sea floor and stretches 1,800 kilometers from Greenland to the East Siberian continental shelf. Everyone agrees that it is a ridge. The key question is whether it is an extension of the Greenland shelf or an extension of the East Siberia shelf.
Denmark, together with the government of Greenland, now claims that it is the former, giving it the right to extend its economic zone across a huge area at the top of the world. Though nothing is yet known about the claim that Russia says it will present in the spring, there is no doubt that it will argue the opposite.
And what about the Canadians and their claim? That remains to be seen, but there have been reports that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is dissatisfied that Canadian scientists are not being sufficiently aggressive in pressing the country’s case.
(…)
A Canadian military commander, asked what he would do if foreign soldiers attacked his country’s Far North, calmly replied that he would dispatch an expedition to rescue them.

Conference on Internet Freedom - Swedish Foreign Ministry prevents Snowden’s invitation

Sweden, which is regularly awarded top rankings for freedom, human rights and social welfare, wants to prove its democratic virtue again during this event. In an online podcast, Foreign Minister Carl Bildt has already sketched out the scope of topics: The Forum will not only discuss the opportunities in the digital world, but also the question as to how state control and censorship can be countered. The first point on the agenda the following morning is “the debate regarding surveillance and the right to privacy in the wake of the revelations by Edward Snowden”.

There’s a flipside: Neither the former NSA employee Edward Snowden nor any of his confidantes will be at the conference in Stockholm. The Swedish government has taken care of that.

C’est pas le même gouvernement suédois qui, à l’inverse, serait super-content d’accueillir Julian Assange ?

Swedish FM refuses to recognize Israeli seat in Jerusalem -

Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt has never been a fan of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government or of the Israeli occupation, but he went one step further a couple days ago when he refused to acknowledge that the Israeli government sits in Jerusalem.

Bildt tweeted his support for the renewal of the peace process on Friday, but his wording was reminiscent of Egypt under Gamal Abdel Nasser or modern-day Iran:
