Scandinavian observations and perspectives

Näthatsgranskaren / "The online hate reviewer" • Tomas Åberg
It is a S*IT SHOW

This is some really shady business. Right back to the roots. Because the career path this man has built on, started all with the infamous cases of severe animal cruelty / abuse - for which he has been hated for among the Swedish people. Or those who still can remember.

It is the same guy behind the business "The Online Hate Reviewer", in which he and his buddies, pick out elderly people who made comments on Facebook and Twitter, uttering criticism against the onset of foreign immigration to Sweden, the sudden explosion of high criminality and abuse it has caused ever since. Some old people got prison and fines, just for writing a comment (with words that were not hateful, and held in a sober style of common sense critics) thanks to this guy's "business".

Apparently this Tomas Åberg has been very successful with his new "job". Because - in my opinion - the PTB are supporting it. Apparently also the judges... (The same strong tend you find in Germany as well; albeit more severe and aggressive, on the verge of insanity with that the PTB's lakeys are getting away with, and how easy it is to fine / being people into jail for almost nothing)

It is a S*IT SHOW, against anything that resembles criticism including common sense.

Here an article from 2020 - which can give you a glimpse behind the whereabouts of Tomas Åberg.

It is a very ugly picture.

Notorious animal abuser Tomas Åberg: “I am the favorite hate object of extreme racists”

In an interview with SVT Nyheter, the notorious animal torturer and censor Tomas Åberg says he is threatened and slandered by “extreme racists”, but at the same time he feels compelled to continue his work of prosecuting pensioners.

Notorious animal abuser and former police officer Tomas Åberg (750127-0255) feels “threatened and slandered”. In an interview with SVT Nyheter, he complains about how he has unwittingly received some critical reactions to his actions, but says he still needs to continue as someone has to do the job of putting politically incorrect people in jail.

- “You have to dare to step forward and speak up when something is wrong. It allows me to look myself in the mirror. And I'm not going to hide the fact that I get a kick out of knowing that I'm making a difference,” says the animal torturer.

However, Åberg - who, according to SVT Nyheter, “pays a high price for hunting down extreme racists” - is reluctant to take on the job of hunting down mainly pensioners who may have believed that freedom of expression still exists in the country. He believes that this work should really be done by the police:

- “I don't think it's a good idea. I think this should really be the responsibility of the judiciary. The police should patrol social media just like they patrol the streets.

Åberg runs the tax-funded and lucrative informer business “Näthatsgranskaren” [The online hate reviewer"], which has set up a system to maximize the use of the “Hets mot folkgrupp” (hate speech) clause, which violates freedom of expression.

The business idea is to scan the internet for statements that can be reported under the “Hets mot folkgrupp” [“Incitement to racial hatred”] section and then sue the people who wrote them. These are often older people who, unaware that there is no longer freedom of expression in the country, have expressed themselves in ways that the “Net Hate Examiner” in cooperation with the “Legal Front” can exploit.

As older people often prefer to pay than to let it go as far as a lawsuit, it is fairly easy money for the infamous reviewer of so-called “cyber hate”. For a fee of SEK 900, he can get around SEK 10 000-15 000 tax-free per report. This is money that is exempt from seizure.

Åberg, who reportedly owes SEK 800,000 to the Swedish Enforcement Authority, has been granted more than SEK 2 million by the tax authorities to hunt down politically incorrect Swedes online.

“The activities of the 'online hate crime investigator' are having a detrimental effect on the already overburdened judicial system. In the last 2.5 years alone, the organization has reported 5,000 cases, leading to 215 convictions so far. Currently, there are hundreds of charges pending before the courts.

The former police officer is a known animal abuser who severely neglected six yaks in the 2010s. He left three of them to die of starvation and dehydration in a pen with no food or water, while he allegedly killed the remaining three in a panic. He then left the country until the statute of limitations expired and changed his name from Bergström to Åberg.

Åberg resents both the spread of unpleasant truths about him and the scrutiny of his own actions. In recent days, he has tried to silence citizen journalist Joakim Lamotte, who wrote a high-profile Facebook post.

And from year 2018 - albeit the article was/is behind a paywall.

Animal Abuser Behind “The Night Hate Reviewer”: Let His Animals Starve to Death
March 7, 2018 by Andreas Jonsson

gtograf-Vinchel-Budihardjo-800x362-1.jpg

The animals tried to find something to eat and drink, but in the end they starved to death in the enclosure where they were locked up. The zookeeper was called Tomas Bergström. Today his name is Tomas Åberg and he is praised in the media for his organization “Näthatsgranskaren”, which looks for anti-immigration posts on Facebook and reports them to the police. The members themselves have a huge register. The first review begins here.


Apparently he also changed his name, which earlier was Tomas Bergström.

How befitting. I had once a zion "husband", who too changed name, when "the s*it hit the fan" - in the shape of my former diary on the internet... which was an obstacle for his new career (he is a big shot now); People who do not wish to feel or be connected to some really bad actions they have imposed on others, and simply skip the consequences (and lessons) that normally derivate from such.



Article about Åberg's animal cruelty (2013)



jak_001_la_IMG_9414.jpg
A live yak


A 38-year-old Sydnärke resident is banned by the County Administrative Board from keeping animals. The man has for a long time proved to be unsuitable as an animal keeper, according to the authority after finding yaks that had starved to death on the farm.

When the County Administrative Board carried out a check on the farm on January 23 following a complaint, the 38-year-old stated that there were five animals in the enclosure. But they found three dead yaks and three alive. There was no water or feed in the enclosure and no feed at the farm.

The County Administrative Board believes that the farm's owner could not fail to see that the animals lacked food and water and that the animals had tried in various ways to find something to eat and drink.

Autopsy showed starvation

Of the self-dead animals in the enclosure, parts of two animals were sent for autopsy. It showed a severe negative energy balance (starvation), which certainly gave the diagnosis of emaciation, which caused suffering for the animals, writes the county administrative board in its decision.

The 38-year-old does not deny that he failed in his supervision and care of the yaks in January. But the County Administrative Board points out that deficiencies in feeding have been found in previous inspections, since 2010. The man has then claimed that the animals were fed but that they were sick.

Ignored the advice

In the reasons for the animal ban, the judgment is harsh:

The 38-year-old “has for a long time shown himself to be unsuitable as an animal keeper by not understanding or taking in information about the care of deer and yaks.”

According to the County Administrative Board, several different actors have tried to make him understand that the animals need feed in the right amount and variety and water, and that they must be cared for in a way that is appropriate for the animals. “Despite this, he has continued with inadequate feeding and care, and instead blamed the animals' underweight and poor health on diseases and parasites.”

Not getting away with it

The Animal Welfare Act provides an emergency exit for those who have neglected their animals - if the authority does not believe that the misconduct will be repeated, they can avoid a ban. But this does not apply to the 38-year-old. Even if the decision is appealed, it applies immediately and until further notice.

What can i say...

Gossip via Flashback, where Swedes at a forum speak / write about anything and everything. This Tomas Åberg / former Bergström has his own thread with 21 pages ! He ain't a small phenomena...

2018

According to Samhällsnytt, Tomas Åberg has now been removed from the nomination as “Swedish hero” after the old media's revelations about animal cruelty. Of course, the old media have not written anything about the macabre revelation of the bandit Tomas. Well done by Samnytt to contact the sponsors, Agria animal insurance has reacted to the revelation.

2018

It should also be added that T has used black labor on his farm at the time the animal cruelty was committed according to sources. He was also in court for not paying craftsmen he had hired.

Financial problems meant that the animals, yaks according to the newspaper, were starved to death and then buried in a pit. Some problems with the neighbors too.

15 Aug 2018

The investigation of Tomas Åberg is now being highlighted by Näthatsgranskaren. They are all over Åberg's animal cruelty. He had a hard time with the police and therefore let his animals starve to death, they say. Very strange to put such a discharge of responsibility on an adult human being. They present it as something tragic that happened to Tomas; he mismanaged his job at the police, was fired and therefore “really” the police authority is guilty of Tomas' animal cruelty? It is, of course, great that 'Nya Tider' Online magazin and others are scrutinizing the criminals who engage in harassment of ordinary people through denunciations.*** [see further below]


21 Sep 2024

In his prime he [Åberg] had 4-5 lawsuits per month. Let's say he got 1800 € each from these. For his part, he keeps it to a minimum in terms of his overhead. Then he chooses cases that are more slam dunk for the prosecutor. Mostly older people who confess directly just talking to a police officer (or investigator more commonly but the elderly will think it is a police officer). If confessed, there is zero risk of losing a case. The person provably wrote or spread this further.

It will be a pretty decent “monthly salary”. Reasons probably to continue with it. Must be some aversion within the judiciary for this behavior. But as long as it's just one, we'll let it go on. Just having this as a trial costs us taxpayers considerably more than this money given in damages.


*** Kind of cynical isn't it ?
If the aforementioned statement is correct, the "business" of "the Hate Reviewer" - which once investigated the very same man, that later became part the very same business, to hunt down any criticism from others on the internet, by sending them to court / fines & prison.

Also; the very same animal torturer Åberg was invited to speak by Council of Europe. Boy, there is really a lot of questional stuff about that person once you dig deep.

A Petty Tyrant. Perhaps a bit more then that it seems.

 
Our defense minister in an interview with our state funded media suggests a war tax for Europe, if US withdraws its support:

"We currently have strong confidence in the support group for Ukraine, in which the United States participates, that the United States will continue its support," Häkkänen said in an interview with Yle. "If there is a tight spot, Europe must take responsibility for this," he says. "It means that more money needs to be found in the wallets of European taxpayers to support Ukraine."

He also said that peace has to be made on Ukrainian terms. That currently would mean a total capitulation of Russia, if we go by Zelensky's "peace plan".

Maybe we could start a petition for sending Häkkänen to Ukraine. I'm sure that they need more people on the front lines.

Last time Trump was president, there was in 2019 the irresistible offer from the US reported as Europe has no freedom but to choose "freedom gas". We also had new sanctions put in place against Russia. The US and NATO military build up in Ukraine continued. Now Europe could have a US "freedom army" if they pay it to stay.

Q: (Pierre) Well, so it's that. People got scared. That's a documented thing. The first leaks from Macron's servers was those documents from a NATO/CIA-sponsored foundation in France that was pushing for a lot of migration and a lot of mosques and stuff. I was wondering if his main mission is to bring in migrants and stir things up to lead towards a civil war?

A: US wishes to destabilize EU similar to Syria so that they can come in and "fix" things. i.e. rule and control resources and trade the "American way". Everyone will speak English!

Q: [laughter] (Pierre) They sure have a sense of humor, but I'm not sure that will be the only consequence...

(L) So basically, some kind of cabal in the deep state of the US is at the bottom of some kind of One World Order plan to really basically bit by bit take the entire planet under its control. Is that it either overtly or covertly?

A: Covertly at present, but overtly eventually.
The outlook for more Syriafication of Europe is still looking good. Ukraine may end, but what about the rest? Some would say that the US did not succeed in Syria. True, but it also did not go emptyhanded either: Trump quadruples down on pledge to steal Syria's oil: 'The only troops I have are taking the oil'

Politics aside, Nature has begun to respond in earnest. This year has seen floods in so many places, the media no longer care all that much to report on the locations, the magnitude of the damages, or on the numbers of all those dead and missing. What might still be coming for the north is massive snow fall followed initially by massive melting until one fine day, maybe in a few or in some years time, the snow keeps falling but the melting can't keep up.

i am really upset by the STUPID push to accuse russia for the agression of ukr: the reasons for the agression are well known, the us have pushed to exploit ukr since at least 2014, ukr has systematically shelled its eastern ressortissants, if i am to believe the several articles in sott, russia has clearly stated its red lines which the us crossed one after the other, and now these hypocrite politicians accuse putin for his special operation. we are very lucky that putin is moderate in his reaction to the west's provocations. all the billions stolen from the west taxpayers will, i hope so, lead to a refusal for more funds to ukraine. should russia retail, i suggest the precise annhilation of the eu buildings in bruxelles at a convenient day...we would be thankful...

Even Stoltenberg, NATO's previous Secretary General has in interviews admitted that Nato expansion led to the war in Ukraine. And how they have been arming Ukraine since 2014. But somehow it's still Russia's unprovoked war of aggression.
 
Russia is preparing for war with NATO, and it is not joking.

There it is stated in a more resonable fashion

This includes “a possible military conflict with NATO in Europe in the next decade,” he added.

Well, we already hear this for at least 1.5 years in the West, with the same melody NATO brainwashes people. That does however not mean, we are going out into all-war now.... albeit the PTB would love that, wouldn't they ?

Here in Sweden war mongering does go rampant - as the Government told the funeral organisations / Swedish Church to prepare 500.000 coffins / make space for war graves - as it is expected that 5% of the Swedish people are going to die in the war against Russia :scared:

Swedish army chief wants Sweden to prepare for war with Russia

Jonny-Lidfors-soldiers5.jpg

British Army Chief Roland Walker recently visited his Swedish counterpart Jonny Lindfors, where they discussed military cooperation, the international situation in general and the war in Ukraine in particular.

Walker believes that Europe must be ready to fight a war against Russia within just a few years – and the Swedish army chief shares this view.


– History shows again and again that Russia may seem to be down for the count, but they always come back. That’s why we have to be ready, because we who have supported Ukraine will be their target, said the British military chief.

– The Russian self-image that they have the right to create spheres of influence by subjugating neighboring countries threatens the European security order.
They are not only waging war against Ukraine but against the collective West, Lindfors agrees.

Roland Walker says Ukraine’s resistance to Russia “is a source of inspiration for all European countries” and he was very pleased with what he saw during his visit to Sweden.

– The soldiers I met were very clear about their purpose, to defend Sweden and by extension, the alliance (NATO).

“Exceptionally fanatical NATO supporter”

The visit took place on November 19 1000 days after Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine, and the British general says it is vital that the West continues to support Kiev in every way possible.

One person who has reacted to the statements from the two military leaders about war with Russia is Gustav Kasselstrand, leader of the nationalist party Alternative for Sweden. He called Lindfors an “exceptionally fanatical NATO supporter” who, however, does not seem particularly interested in actually defending Sweden.

What i found weird is that those news only recently popped up now in Dec 2024, while i realize that the original articles are from March 2023. :whistle: Which also means, they've been FAST into preparing the Swedes for war and death (given that Sweden didn't become a NATO member until 7 March 2024, but the preparation for war graves was sent out in March 2023.

Maybe it has to do with a renewed article from 14 Dec 2024, where Gothenburg was asked to prepare for 30.000 war graves, vitalizing the subject anew.


14 Dec 2024
The Church of Sweden in Gothenburg has been instructed to prepare for the possibility of burying 30,000 fallen soldiers in a short period in the event of war or a “major disaster”.

girl-graveyard7.jpg

Swedish leaders have recently tried to sell the message that Sweden is already at war with Russia or at least that war may very soon become a reality.


Against this background, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap) has also urged Swedish churches and funeral directors to prepare and secure land to be able to bury a very large number of dead in a short time. And the Church of Sweden in Gothenburg is one of the actors that has been tasked by MSB to be ready to quickly solve 30,000 coffin burials as part of the Swedish crisis preparedness.

We need to prepare to deal with fallen soldiers and it is quite new for us to start building preparedness for that now, says Katarina Evenseth from the Gothenburg Burial Society.

Must be able to be moved

– The biggest challenge for us, who are also looking for burial land in general, is to ensure that there is actually enough contingency land to match the recommendation that has come now with so many hectares, then we need to get rid of more burial land.

The Swedish Armed Forces estimate that at least 10 hectares of land need to be prepared for a “major disaster or war”, but it is still unclear exactly where the cemetery will be located.

What is unique about war graves and soldiers’ graves is that they should also be able to be taken care of and eventually moved back to their home countries or hometowns when things are calm again, explains Evenseth.

Church prepares for 500,000 dead in war with Russia - gravesites reviewed

The Church of Sweden must be prepared for the possibility of half a million Swedes dying in a future NATO war with Russia. Therefore, all churches in the country have been asked to prepare for mass deaths of Swedes, reports SVT Nyheter Öst.

Preparations for a possible war with Russia continue.

The Church of Sweden has increased its preparedness, as Swebbtv News has previously reported. At the end of last year, the bishop sent out a letter to all the country's vicars, who were urged to prepare for war.

The assignment is to plan burial sites for a total of five percent of Sweden's population. It is about “war graves for half a million people”, writes SVT. This corresponds to Ukraine's total losses, dead and wounded, so far in the ongoing war with Russia, according to Douglas Macgregor.

This means, among other things, finding land for a large number of new graves, and planning for possible problems, such as crematoriums stopping working. Churches also need to be prepared for the possibility that they will not be able to identify the people who die. This is usually the case in war. Therefore, people must not be buried too deeply, but must be able to be dug up again for identification. So you have to have a system for that too.

- We are on our way to one of the parts of the cemetery that we call “Katastrofen” which is set aside to be used in case of war, says Pär Österlund, vicar in Finspång's parish, to SVT Öst and points out that time feels unpredictable and that it has all come close to personal now.

There are legal requirements for the church to be able to bury a large number of people during war.

Chapter 8, section 3 of the Burial Act states: “A congregation that is the principal for funeral activities shall make the necessary preparations for these activities during heightened alert.”

It really is a criminal 💩-show in Scandinavia.


Grind war it into Swedes' faces

My husband and I also noticed that the The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) who is responsible for 'helping society prepare for major accidents, crises and the consequences of war' - which is the same authority that sent out the War brochure to all households weeks ago - now even sent out a directly addressed digital letter yesterday. (The type of letter where you have to sign in with Bank-ID in order to read it :umm:).

Really making sure that war is ground into every face with emphasis
 
Comment on situation in Sweden
Really making sure that war is ground into every face with emphasis
Is it necessary for the Swedish citizens to be convinced to give money and lives. Maybe it is needed for people to decide and make a choice, even if that choice is choosing not to resist. There is also the an important element of distraction. The larger context is not the projected enemy over there, but the enemy out there, I am thinking in terms of this book:
High Strangeness – Les Editions Pilule Rouge
cover-en-highstrangeness-600x900.jpg
Would there be a market for this book in Scandinavia if translated? Is it possible to invite the collective attention in that direction?

If some people in power know that an major climate change, infrastructure damages are possible, would they necessarily oppose that some others prepare the people even if not for the reasons like coming earth changes and alien attempts to take over power overtly?

Greenland hits back at Trump threat

The autonomous Danish Arctic island has announced it’s “not for sale”
Greenland has rejected any idea of selling out to Washington after US President-elect Donald Trump said control over the Arctic island would be in his country’s strategic and national interest.
One possibility is that the US occupies Greenland by force, or at least more openly than now, another is that tension is increased so much in Scandinavia that the US has to come in and "help" with the administration and as part of such a move, takes over Greenland "to protect it". Considering that Greenland is next to Canada and not next to the US, the claim to Greenland is as much a warning shot to those who think Canada should be formally independent of the US.

The Danish administration of Greenland has been critizised. For instance the following could be turned into a vote turner case:

Institutes: Offensive spiral campaign in Greenland should be investigated

According to DR, thousands of women and girls in Greenland under the age of 13 had IUDs inserted - many without consent.

/RITZAU/
Denmark should investigate its responsibility for Greenlandic girls and women having IUDs installed without consent in the 1960s and 1970s.

This is the opinion of the Greenland Council for Human Rights and the Institute for Human Rights.

The statement comes after DR described that thousands of Greenlandic girls and women had IUDs installed at the initiative of Danish authorities, who wanted to limit population growth.
From another article published December 10:

Greenlandic Naja was given an IUD without consent: Now the BBC has made a documentary about her

While she is waiting for an investigation into the spiral case from the Ministry of Health in Denmark, she is being hailed abroad.
[...]
Investigation - maybe - on the way
Naja Lyberth hopes that the recognition of the events then means that history will not repeat itself.
"hopes ... history will not repeat itself" if she cared a bit more she could bring up the effects of some batches and types of mRNA COVID19 injections, but of course these affects the general population, so there is more "equality" and less to complain about.
The article continues
- We hope that something will come out of it on the other side. That there will be some consequences after the investigation, says Naja Lyberth, who is a psychologist and today lives in the Greenlandic capital, Nuuk.

That is why Naja Lyberth is waiting for the investigation into the actions of the Danish state, which the then health minister Magnus Heunicke (S) promised to initiate at the request of the Greenlandic politicians in May.

- I'm not out to fight, I'm out to find some peaceful solutions and that my fellow sisters come out on the other side, she says.

DR Nyheder has tried to get an answer to how far the Ministry of Health is with the promised investigation.

The ministry states in a written response that the investigation model by professionals or institutions is being prepared in a collaboration between Greenland and Denmark.

- It is expected that impartial professionals or institutions will be appointed at the beginning of the new year, they write.

You can watch the BBC's documentary about Naja Lyberth and the spiral campaign 'Greenland's lost generation' on Youtube. You can find the podcast 'Spiralkampagnen' in DR Lyd. [In Danish.]
Timeline: The spirals from Denmark
1966 Up through the 1950s and 1960s, the population in Greenland increases. The number of newborns peaked in 1966, when 1,781 children were born – an increase of almost 80 percent in 15 years.

1966-1970 At the request of the Ministry of Greenland and the National Board of Health, 4,500 IUDs are placed in a large part of the 9,000 fertile women who live in Greenland at the time.

1970 The law is changed so that doctors in Greenland can guide young girls from the age of 15 on contraception without the consent of their parents.

1970 Minister of Greenland at the time A.C. Normann says in a speech to the Folketing in 1970 that the birth rate is now on the way down again, and that this is not least due to the spiral.

1974 The Danish state becomes aware that it risks receiving criticism for the spirals in Greenland at a UN conference. At the conference, there is harsh criticism of family planning in formerly colonized countries such as Greenland, and the UN calls for everyone to be allowed to decide how many children they want to have and when.

Sources: Statistics Greenland, Jens Misfeldt: Weekly for doctors (1977), Proceedings of Greenland's National Council (6 March 1973)/Institute for Eskimology, Statement by the Minister for Greenland (23 April 1970), National Archives
"can guide young girls from the age of 15 on contraception without the consent of their parents" could be contrasted with the push for children, at least a few months or years ago, to be exposed to LBTQ+ propaganda in schools, the flirt with puberty blockers and sex change therapies.

Adoption practices in Denmark during the 1980s
Recently I listened to a podcast from the Danish State Radio and TV Corporation about adoption of children in the 1980s. Apparently some licensed adoption organisations worked with people associated with Danish Consulates and Embassies to facilitate adoption from all kinds of countries, but the issues is that released documents show the way it was done was sometimes indistinguishable from what could be called child trafficking and with bribery and corruption involved as well.

Danish woman helped buy children for adoption in Lebanon: 'The black one...he's cheap'
New podcast series from DR Dokumentar reveals that Danish adoption agency was involved in bribery and child trafficking in the 1980s.

In March 1983, the Danish adoption agency AC Børnehjælp received a typewritten letter from one of the agency's employees in Lebanon. It was a Danish woman who was tasked with helping the agency find children for adoption.

The letter stated that she had made contact with a Lebanese midwife who could provide children.

- Apparently she can give us the children we want, but the price is DKK 21-25,000. (current currency ed.) Nobody gets anything for free in Lebanon. Take it or leave it (...) I stand in line with people who are willing to pay any amount for the child.
The price corresponds to 3000 Euro, and research shows that the real cost on the ground, at the time was 1/10 of that. The journalists followed a case and discovered that one midwife traded off one of a pair of twins, leaving the parents in the belief that there was only one child. The claim that there were two was proven by DNA testing. Later they find other cases from the same midwife.

In the period about 33,000 children were adopted into Denmark from across the world. The impression I have is that the practices, policies and procedures in other Nordic countries may have shared a similarity. If that is indeed the case would need research similar to what the Danish journalists carried out. While the cases are presented in the series of podcast as very bad, it could also be worse, and some questions in the podcast are not asked. For instance who were those people and organizations that were "willing to pay any amount for the child"? What is the situation today? From this perspective, one could go as far as saying that the presentation of the issues surrounding both the contraceptive measures used in Greenland and the adoption practices two decades later share in common that they would be more valuable if more questions were asked, rather than remaining satisfied with the perception of isolated one-offs.
