Church of Sweden No Longer Christian

Much of the land currently occupied by Islamic regimes was Christian before it fell by military conquest over the course of centuries. The Muslim campaign to extirpate Christian civilization and replace it with something very different finally stalled at the gates of Vienna in 1683. Thanks to moonbattery, it has been able to resume. Conquest by mass immigration (a.k.a. hijra) will soon absorb a submissive Sweden into Dar al-Islam.

From Samnytt, via Jihad Watch:

Outgoing Archbishop Antje Jackelén received harsh criticism for her religious relativist stance, not least in relation to the controversial religious ideology of Islam. She adopted the Swedish variant of “Allahu akbar” as her language of choice and said she could not put the peaceful healer Jesus before the warrior and mass murderer Muhammad as a prophet. Now Jackelen’s successor goes a step further and welcomes all Muslims to the Church of Sweden.

That explains how Center Party leader Muharrem Demirok can declare that he is a Muslim — and also a member of the Church of Sweden.

In the Church of Sweden, under the leadership of Archbishop Martin Modéus, “you define what you believe in based on your own terms.” According to Modéus, the fact that the Church of Sweden receives a diversity of non-Christian beliefs “is an asset.”

You think Christian churches should be Christian? What’s the matter, you don’t like diversity?

Joseph Stalin, like the leftist maniacs who came to power during the French Revolution, tried to eradicate Christianity by killing priests. Modern liberals have found a more effective method: hollow out churches and leave nothing inside but the nihilistic emptiness that is wokeism.

Nature abhors a vacuum; in Europe, it will be filled by Islam.

Sweden Tries Bribing Migrants to Go Home

Sweden is finally making at least a token attempt to preserve its existence by paying the Third World colonists inundating the country to go home:

Currently, a family with a residence permit and protection status who wants to return to their country, if all conditions are met, can receive a “travel” grant of up to 40,000 Swedish kronor (€3,500). The government is now looking to substantially increase this amount to encourage more migrants to sign up.

Sounds like a bargain, when you consider what New York City is spending:

The mind-blowing cost of the [open border] crisis was revealed Friday afternoon after city Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol told a City Council panel that Gotham’s Department of Homeless Services and Health & Hospitals each spend an average of $363 daily to provide food and shelter for just a single migrant.

Most if not all of them are “asylum seekers” — i.e., illegal aliens gaming the system by pretending to seek asylum as Democrats have encouraged them to do.

Given that there are more than 30,000 migrants currently being housed in city taxpayer-funded facilities, that would amount to a daily staggering bill of $10.89 million.

The state and federal governments, also run by liberal Democrats, have provided minimal support.

Considering the extravagant welfare benefits colonists can expect in either Sweden or the USA, taxpayers will have to cough up a pretty penny to bribe many to go back to their dysfunctional hellholes.

More affordable would be the time-tested strategy of defending the border from foreign invasion. But of course, that would require a sane, competent government that means the country well, so it is not an option in the USA for now.

Multicultural Future Unfolds in Sweden and UK

Mass Third World immigration has produced so much multiculturalism in Sweden that it is no longer safe for moonbats to go into Muslim no-go zones to make propaganda videos:

Any questions on why the right-wing Sweden Democrats did so well in the recent elections?

The UK is following close behind on the road to national self-destruction:

The longer the situation is allowed to deteriorate, the more drastic the action that will be required to correct it before Europe is snuffed out of existence, in accordance with the leftist agenda.

Moonbats Pried From Power in Sweden

Sweden has long been regarded as the canary in the coalmine of moonbattery. But where there is life, there is hope. Right-wing Sweden Democrats won big in Sunday’s election, indicating that Swedes have finally had enough of the mass migration and crime that characterize moonbat rule:

Regarding the Trump reference, it’s from 2017:

Trump was ridiculed by many after he gave a speech Saturday citing Sweden among a list of European countries affected by the scourge of Islamic terror. Referring to the massive number of Middle Eastern refugees that have poured into the country, Trump said Sweden was “having problems like they never thought possible.” Some Swedish politicians openly derided Trump’s portrayal of the country – but riots in a heavily immigrant suburb of Stockholm on Monday evening put an end to most of the mockery.

As with his concern regarding German dependence on Russian energy, which also evoked derision, Trump was proven correct.

Meanwhile, illegal immigration and violent crime are reaching unprecedented levels in the USA, both directly due to the policies of our left-wing Democrats. If the public still has a say in what Democrats call “Our Democracy,” November will not go well for them.

Moonbats Come After Toilets

There is nothing moonbats won’t use Big Government to take away from you, not bacon, not eggs, not coffee, not cold beer, not hot showersnot even toilets:

Flushing our waste is, well, wasteful, accounting for nearly a third of indoor water use in US homes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In many parts of the world, the use of water toilets has become increasingly fraught as climate change ushers in extreme droughts and flooding, which backs up sewers and overflows septic tanks.

Social engineers want us to use “dry toilets” instead:

Users layer the contents of the toilet’s bin with peat or sawdust after doing their business; once full, they move the excrement to a larger airtight container over the course of several months so that any microorganisms die out.

The remaining material, rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, can be used as natural fertilizer rather than the usual greenhouse gas-emitting synthetic kind.

Thereby, dry toilets please liberals’ weather gods.

Environmental engineer Kelsey McWilliams became “hooked” on sanitation solutions after participating in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation “Reinvent the Toilet Challenge” while at the University of Delaware, she said.

That would be the same Bill Gates who has been conspiring along with George Soros and the Biden Regime to blot out the sun because global warming.

Even CNN admits that dry toilets have disadvantages:

Waiting up to a year for waste to be safely recycled will deter many people — and the ick factor may be hard to shake.

That’s why dry toilets will first be subsidized, then be made mandatory, following the strategy for electric cars. Real toilets will be progressively strangled out of existence through regulation.

A few regulations are actually beneficial. Progressives will get rid of these. Consider a RecoLab waste water recycling plant in Sweden:

As of now, the plant does not recycle graywater, due to strict Swedish government regulations on repurposing wastewater for drinking. But [aptly named RecoLab business developer Amanda] Haux is hoping that will change, particularly in municipalities where water shortages may become more common due to climate change.

Lots of liberal hopes hang on climate change. After all, if temperatures don’t happen to trend warmer, global warming hoaxers will have to make fools of themselves by telling us cold weather is caused by warm weather.

The modern toilet was developed by white guys like the also aptly named Thomas Crapper. Therefore, toilets are racist in addition to being offensive to the climate. Prepare to do without them.

Early Swedes Were Now Black

It would be hard to imagine a group of people less black than characteristically blond and blue-eyed Swedes. But no lie is too outlandish to be rammed down the public’s throat by the moonbats running state media as they wage war on history to bring it into compliance with their hostile ideology:

As the Nordic Times reported last year,

The first Swedes are portrayed by black Africans and people from the Middle East in Sweden’s tax-funded state TV channel SVT’s blockbuster “History of Sweden”. Critics accuse SVT of falsifying history and the ‘experts’ involved of spreading propaganda for ideological reasons.

Historien om Sverige (The history of Sweden) is not just any TV series, but SVT’s biggest ever historical venture, which has taken three years to produce and will be broadcast this fall.

Europeans may have had darker skin in caveman days than they do now. As the theory goes, lighter skin evolved to help synthesize vitamin D. Even so:

Seven people from the 7700-year-old Motala archaeological site in southern Sweden had both light skin gene variants, SLC24A5 and SLC45A2. They also had a third gene, HERC2/OCA2, which causes blue eyes and may also contribute to light skin and blond hair. Thus ancient hunter-gatherers of the far north were already pale and blue-eyed…

But then, if Anne Boleyn could be black, why not Swedes? Believe — or prepare to get canceled for being a racist.

If all goes well for leftist social engineers, they will eventually use their control of the media to convince all Caucasians that they and those in their immediate physical vicinity are the only white people who ever existed.

Protecting Children From Abuse as Abuse

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Protecting children from horrific physical and psychological disfigurement is child abuse:

The influential American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said that ‘withholding [gender-affirming care] is harmful to children and amounts to state-sanctioned medical neglect and emotional abuse.’

“Gender-affirming care” is an Orwellian euphemism for sex change procedures. In calling it by the opposite of what it is, liberals confirm they know what they are doing is wrong.

Depraved kooks who prey on children are the establishment now:

While its views are not medically binding, the panel is made up of 70,000 of the country’s top child doctors and its recommendations are considered the gold-standard.

There is still pushback on behalf sanity and basic humanity:

[H]ealthcare experts in other countries have called the AAP’s comments unethical and irresponsible, focusing more on the politics of the moment than medicine.

The AAP is not primarily about medicine, and certainly not about the welfare of children. Once an institution has been commandeered by moonbats, its original mission is subordinated to moonbattery.

Pauses in the sick sexual transmogrification of children have been instituted even in left-leaning countries like the UK, Sweden, France, Finland, and Norway. Nonetheless, the Scottish National Party has plans that could imprison parents for 7 years for resisting the transsexualization of their own children. In Joe Biden’s USA, there is no resistance above the state level.

Bottom Line on Offshore Wind

Energy expert David Blackmon has revealed that when the government chooses wind projects to shovel other people’s money at, capacity to actually produce electricity is hardly even considered.

For example, at the state level…

…the wind resource constitutes less than 1% of what [New York State Energy Research and Development Authority] considers important for offshore wind projects.

They know in advance that wind projects will not generate anywhere near the electricity promised. That’s why they avoid performance guarantees regarding output.

Sweden just proved what happens you actually have performance guarantees for wind. Markbygden Ett is the largest onshore wind farm in Europe, located in Sweden and owned by China. Its electricity contract with Norwegian Hydro Energi requires that Markbygden provide a fixed amount of electricity at a fixed price for 19 years. When the wind doesn’t blow, they still have to provide the contracted amount of power, at the contracted cost, regardless of the price they pay on the electricity market to cover the shortfall. The result is that Markbygden’s forecasted expenses far exceed revenues, and the company has been experiencing large losses for several years.

The more whalekilling offshore wind projects are constructed, the less electricity they produce:

It’s called the wind wake effect. Any sailor is well familiar with this- a sailboat in front of you will steal your wind, and make your sailboat go slower if you stay behind it. …

In 2018, Harvard University flagged this and found that the average power density of a wind farm was up to 100 times lower than estimates by some leading energy experts because previous estimates failed to account for the wind wake effect.

They found a transition to wind power would require 5 to 20 times more land than previously thought, require one third of the continental U.S. to be covered by windmills in order to meet present day U.S. electricity demand, and that since the wind would get sucked out of the air surface temperatures would rise by about 0.24 degrees Celsius, with an up to 1.5 degree Celsius increase at night.

Meanwhile, the alleged point of the wind turbines is to lower supposedly excessive temperatures. As for the actual point: they are boondoggles. Their function is to launder taxpayer money to pay Democrat donors, thereby creating a massive return on investment for political contributions. This form of graft was pioneered by Joe Biden’s mentor and probable primary handler, Barack Obama. Under his administration, 80% of Department of Energy green energy loans reportedly went to his donors, confirming that the not only useless but pernicious DOE must be abolished at once.

Also, the output of offshore wind projects has been predicted to decrease by 4.5% annually. The ocean is not big enough for all the wind turbines that would be required to meet our future energy needs.

Blackmon presents the bottom line:

[O]ffshore wind doesn’t work. It’s not designed to work, or to be economically feasible in real life. It’s a giant Ponzi scheme wholly dependent on government subsidies and political “climate change” brownie points.

Yet our rulers are bankrupting the country to pay for it. This intolerable situation has resulted from insufficient pushback against climate change hogwash and a lack of consequences for the political corruption that inspires it.

Shelter Is Racist

Thanks to the indefatigable efforts of the Experts, ever more aspects of life that were once widely accepted have been revealed as ideologically unconscionable. Dr Scott Miller-Pearlman, author of the book Blinded by the White, reveals that the very concept of shelter is racist:

Definitely an improvement on the pretentious propaganda platform 60 Minutes.

Why USA Was Right to Cheer Women’s Soccer Loss

It was sad to see America cheer that its own team had lost the World Cup in women’s soccer. Jason Whitlock explains why it was right to cheer:

On Sunday, with a chance to off Sweden with a penalty kick, Rapinoe missed the entire net wide right. She smirked and laughed in embarrassment. Two other U.S. women missed their kicks as well. But those women earned their spots on the roster. Rapinoe was on the team and on the field because of social pressure and a never-ending marketing campaign. She hadn’t earned the right to fail. The opportunity was bestowed on her.

Did the ultrapoliticized sports establishment learn from this? Doubtful:

When it was over, when the No. 1-ranked team in the world completed its epic collapse, supporters of “The Great Gay Hope” refused to pivot. ESPN aired a three-minute feature story on Rapinoe narrated by her “fiancee,” WNBA player Sue Bird.

ESPN is not about sports. It is about moonbattery. The same goes for all institutions that have been infiltrated, subverted, and subordinated to their agenda by leftists.

Rapinoe confirmed that she is less an athlete than a left-wing activist:

When asked for her greatest memory of her “legendary” career, she pointed to the lawsuit she and her teammates filed against the U.S. Soccer Federation over alleged pay inequality. Gender pay inequality is a myth and a lie, no different from other popular corporate media narratives like climate change and the alleged genocidal homicide of unarmed black men.

But the truth is irrelevant in the making of an Alphabet Mafia icon. Megan Rapinoe is the George Floyd of soccer.

Her narcissistic, anti-American pose corroded the team’s morale, resulting in the historic loss.

Could you imagine Joe Montana or Michael Jordan summarizing their careers by referencing a contract dispute?

Rapinoe is a fraud. She’s the Colin Kaepernick of soccer. Her attitude poisoned the women’s national soccer team. Let’s hope her side effects don’t linger.

Unfortunately, the side effects might. Leftists who find success pull the ladder up after them so that others can’t follow. The George Floyd/Colin Kaepernick of soccer pulls up the ladder by calling for men to be allowed to play on women’s teams. If this insanity prevails, the sport she exploited by using it to convert sexual perversion into fame and fortune will be destroyed for other women.

Or maybe the loss will help inspire us to finally reject the vile mentality Rapinoe personifies. We can hope. Also, we can laugh:

Swedes Forced to Clean Their Own Streets

California 7-Eleven staff are not the only ones who have had enough of the moonbattery and are starting to push back. Some Europeans are in the same mood. In Husby, a Stockholm suburb pocked with no-go areas, groups of young men have been rousting lowlifes:

In recent months, residents of the area have complained of growing insecurity, telling local police about months of problems with homeless drug addicts who often camp out in storage rooms and basements of people’s homes, the newspaper Aftonbladet reports.

According to one local police officer, the addicts have been in the area since around April and many are illegal immigrants.

That’s the problem with tolerating a government that tolerates illegal immigration. What the rest of the world sends will not be the cream of the crop.

“These people are very vulnerable. They are undocumented and they will be sent out of the country while having nowhere to go. They are desperate and then they have tried to get hold of money by robbing people and burglarizing,” the official said.

Before you burst out sobbing for the invaders, consider how vulnerable the law-abiding citizens of Sweden have been rendered.

Locals have stated that areas of Husby have become littered with syringes. Robberies have surged, with even the local mosque being subjected to thefts. Several women have also been robbed in the area as they went to a local shop or to do their laundry.

We have reached the point where living under liberalism is no longer feasible — as the younger generation is figuring out. One 18-year-old reports that the police were not taking their complaints seriously, so they have confronted the lowlifes themselves:

“We’ve tried to talk to them to get them to stop robbing and stealing, but these people are on different substances and drugs and they haven’t been receptive to dialogue. Many of them have also been armed and once one of them attacked us. Then we fought back.”

Swedes fighting back is a welcome change. Too bad this can’t be accomplished through their government, whose primary job it is.

Videos have since been posted on social media showing the vigilantes chasing addicts, while some addicts were found in parts of Husby badly beaten.

By the end of July, however, many of the addicts appear to have left the area and reports of thefts and assaults have subsided for several weeks.

Time-honored solutions tend to work.

It would be far better if police dealt with this, and better still if Europe defended its borders. If neither is feasible due to the deranged ideology of the ruling class, vigilantism becomes inevitable.

EU Parliament Features Blasphemous Pervert Jesus

The leftists who dominate Europe are not indifferent to decency, virtue, and morality, but rather openly hostile. This has been made explicit at an art exhibit in the European Union Parliament building in Brussels:

The artwork, a series of photographs by lesbian Swedish photographer Elisabeth Ohlson, includes one of a man who is meant to represent Christ wearing a white robe and a halo made out of stars above his head. The man is surrounded by seven men who are wearing leather-based fetish clothing associated with BDSM fetishism.

Ohlson said the photographs are meant to depict Christ supporting homosexual rights.

Homosexuals/transsexuals are the most privileged group in modern society. No one needs to support homosexual rights. That would be like supporting gravity. When libs say “homosexual rights,” what they mean is “homosexual activity.”

Even most moonbats know that Christ came to redeem us from sin, not to encourage us to wallow in it. That’s why they get a thrill of transgression from excretions like Ohlson’s.

The exhibit … kicked off with a reception hosted by Malin Björk, a member of the European Parliament for the Swedish Left Party.

Glorification of sexual depravity and blasphemous desecration of Christianity are two sides of the same coin. It is the coin of the realm among leftists.

Ohlson demonstrates how to get mediocre artwork promoted by the liberal establishment:

The artist has a history of making blasphemous artwork that goes back decades. Starting in 1998, she toured Sweden with an exhibition called Ecce Homo, which contained several blasphemous depictions of Christ that promoted homosexuality, transgenderism, and BDSM fetishism. The exhibit was displayed in numerous churches that are in communion with the Lutheran Church of Sweden.

Beware fallen churches. The Church of Sweden is no longer Christian.

Thanks to moonbattery, this is what Europe has to offer now, in place of Leonardo da Vinci:

Green Energy Moonbattery Will Cost You Big

In accordance with their religion, leftist social engineers want us to use heat pumps. Their reasoning:

Based on the same technology as refrigerators, the air pump pulls heat out from outside air and into the house, and can be run on renewably generated electricity – making them carbon neutral.

Carbon neutral — assuming that electricity can be produced without generating CO2.

A tale of woe from the UK demonstrates how heat pumps work out in the real world:

A man who replaced his heating system with a £25,000 Government-backed ‘green’ heat pump says he has faced “crippling” electric bills – amounting to almost £3000 so far this winter. Officials are currently providing grants for up to £5,000 to home owners who remove a gas central heating and hot water system and replace it with a heat pump.

Laments Steve Mason,

“This year so far alone, my electric bill has reached £1461 after the government help and my direct debit each month is £650 – it’s crippling.”

This is despite his home being so cold that he has to wear multiple layers of clothes. He has been burning wood for heat, which as he points out, “completely defeats the object” — unless of course the objective is not really to reduce harmless CO2 emissions but only to posture emptily.

Mason wishes he could just rip out the heat pump, but…

“I have no choice but to use it as it’s my only source of heating and hot water in my house, but what we’ve found is that we don’t think the government have really thought this through.”

In contrast, Mark Mills has thought it through. He concludes that the renewable energy future moonbats rave about is “just not happening,” no matter how much money is wasted on it:

Meanwhile,

United States electricity prices are rising rapidly, up 18.1 percent over the last two years. Renewable energy advocates claim that wind and solar installations produce cheaper electricity than traditional power plants, but power prices are rising as more wind and solar is added to the grid. In fact, electricity prices are soaring in leading wind energy states.

Uncoincidentally, for the past 2 years we have been under the thumb of fanatics whose figurehead promised to abolish fossil fuels.

The same applies to Europe under moonbat rule:

In Europe, the nations with the most wind and solar capacity deployed, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Spain, and Sweden, experience the highest residential electricity prices. Residents of Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, where few renewables are deployed, pay half as much per kilowatt-hour as the leading renewable countries. Denmark and Germany have deployed over 1,600 watts per person of wind and solar, the highest density in Europe. Electricity prices for Denmark (29 eurocents per kilowatt-hour) and Germany (32 eurocents/kW-hr) are the highest in Europe, and two and one-half times the prices in the US, where renewable penetration remains lower. In Europe, like the US, wind (and solar) deployments raise electricity prices.

Those who inflict green energy moonbattery don’t pay its high price; we do.

Lloyd Austin Versus History

Under Democrat rule, the purpose of the US military is not to defend the country, which is currently under uncontested invasion, but to impose wokeness. This is why the Secretary of Defense is Lloyd Austin. Upon taking office, he immediately called for a military-wide stand-down so as to purge the armed forces of potential dissidents.

Austin knows all about ideological conformity. What does he know about military matters? The press conference he and fellow leftist Mark Milley held Wednesday on the topic of the war in Ukraine offered an indication.

Austin:

“I think a winter fight favors the Ukrainians. … They’ll be prepared for this winter weather, and I don’t think the Russians will be as prepared.”

For those who didn’t burst out laughing, a little Russian history:

Russia became a major power under Peter the Great when the Great Frost helped it defeat Sweden’s Charles XII in the Great Northern War. Not even Vikings could fight in the cold like Russians can. Russians exploited their superior ability to fight in the cold to defeat Napoleon in 1812, as immortalized in Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Then Russians defeated the largest invasion force in the history of warfare, after Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa froze up in the cold and the Russians launched a wintertime counteroffensive.

If the fight is taking place in winter, don’t bet against Russia.

Austin also said that Russians are at a disadvantage because “they’re fighting in a foreign country.”

There are supply lines, as in any war. But Ukraine is not a foreign country for Russians.

Russia and Ukraine emerged as part of the same country, Kievan Rus, in the 9th century. Ukraine has been ruled by Mongols, Poles, and Lithuanians, but with the Treaty of Perpetual Peace in 1686, it was largely reabsorbed into Russia. Unless you count the Ukrainian People’s Republic that existed briefly during the Russian Civil War, Ukraine was never an independent country until the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Russian is the dominant language in Kiev and in the east, where most of the fighting is.

The people in charge don’t seem to know what they are talking about. We can count ourselves as lucky if all they do is flush away $100 billion of our money, rather than blunder into a nuclear war.
