yah those radical Swedes and Norwegians. naughty naughty

Oh Please… They’re surprised? Lying cheating stealing spying… that’s what our government does every day. They’ve admitted it through words and actions.

no kidding. With Ikea and lutefisk they’ll rule the world!

The only reason these Euros aren’t part of the USSR right now is because of us. It’s not our fault these clowns let in a bunch of Sharia lovin’ loons into their countries.

You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

After reading your disjointed comment which has little or no bearing to past or present Scandinavian history …. all I can say is that you must be suffering from a massive case of mental constipation…..

duh, ya think?

Actually you’re completely wrong. Sweden is one of the most racist countries out there. I should know, I’m half Swedish and most of my relatives still live there. They don’t like non-Swedes over there at all except to do some of the dirtier jobs.

That’s actually true for most Scandinavian and European countries. That’s why we have a Czech Republic and a Slovac republic now instead of Czechoslovakia.

I bet you have lots of enemies, though. nice quote. apropo

He likes Winston Churchill, though. LOL

Well duh. How is this a surprise? What do they think the US Embassy is there for?

Those countries must be dragged down by any means to prove just how dysfunctional they really are. Or so say our American corporatists.

Bosnian Muslims too. Sweden has officially declared itself no longer Swedish, but a multicultural society where anything goes.

I’m part Swedish too. My many Swedish relatives have never struck me as racist.

Michael Savage, the voice of truth and reason… along with Jim Carrey’s posterior.
Admittedly, the aforementioned tuchis is the more rational of the two.

Musta been Obama taking notes on how to turn the US in socialist “hyper-Sweden,” as Shrill O’Really “warned” a while back.

God blessed America when The Mere Communicator finally died and went to his richly deserved corner of hell.

The American intelligence services are simply put, stupid people from the rural American and suburban America with lots of money and the technology that money provides them…looking for something to do…spying on Sweden is an absurdity.

We should surrender to Sweden and Norway and let them run the USA…we would all be better off. They are of a higher conciousness than we.

Noooo….Sweden and Norway! Those were hockey scouts….honest.

I lived in Sweden for a year. They’re not remotely ‘racist’.

Lovely place and people and there’s a reason why it continually appears in the Top 3 countries in the world to live in, whereas the US barely makes it to the Top 20 half the time.

My father was a Foreign Service Officer Grade One (FSO1)in the fifties and sixties and posted to Europe. An embassy is always to have a hand on the pulse of a country and its leadership, formal or informal and it would do so using what ever means it might have available. So what’s new.

“The surveillance has been going on since 2000″

now i get it — we were/re spying on those countries where there is rampant SOCIALISM

You are really a dimwit, aren’t you? As difficult it is to imagine, you appear to be even more vapid than the fuckstick who is portrayed in your cheesy avatar ever aspired to be.

Distance lends romance and blurs vision. If you lived there, you wouldn’t be blathering about “higher consciousness.”

Can we get one rule straight? Everybody spies on everybody. Occasionally, people get caught. People get embarrassed. A small handful get expelled. But as long as there are keyholes, there’ll be peepers. Everywhere. Forever. Amen.

What are we spying on? …How to have a good effective health care system? How to have an advanced country and still protect the environment? Maybe to determine why they have a higher standard of living than us? Blonds?
Good reasons all I guess.

[...] AP – People linked with the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm have performed surveillance activities in Sweden without the knowledge of the host nation’s authorities, a government officials said Saturday. [...]

LOL. . . we are looking for Kaiser Soze.

The Assange rape allegations showed clearly penetration by US intelligence into Swedish police and secret services. This was probably done masked by sharing anti terror programs of one sort or another. Then there was the murder of Olaf Palme . . . .

LOL. . . we are looking for Kaiser Soze.

Quite right. And as panskeptic says above, everybody gathers data (spies) in various ways. (Everybody: political-commercial-religious-athletic organizations, et al.) Much intel gathering is totally legit, just digesting whatever emerges in media or discussion. Some ain’t so legit, which gets dicey when the the powers involved are nominal allies. But NOT spying leaves any organization-nation-group open to being blindsided, not a good thing. And consider it a badge of honor — if nobody spies on you, it means you’re regarded as being worthless, inconsequential.

International spying, industrial espionage, plainclothes infiltration, commo interception, etc. Spies are EVERYWHERE! Does anyone here think they’re not being surveilled, their personal data isn’t being mined? Ha. And it’s really primitive now. Pretty soon, comes UBIQUITOUS SURVEILLANCE. Dust-mote-sized sensors, unnoticeable, untraceable, reporting to who-knows-whom. Watch upcoming wars revolving around who can control / subvert such instrumental intel. We see the beginning of that, as Al-Qaeda monitors the data streams to/from USA military drones. Guess what happens next?

My point is, these ops in Norway and Sweden are trivial. I’d even consider the news on these ops to be disinfo, something to distract attention from activities elsewhere. Look at what’s happening in Scandinavia!! Ignore what’s happening in [insert place-name here]!! Oh yeah, don’t try to figure it out. Disinfo is an onion, many thin layers that can be peeled back to reveal inner layers that can be peeled back to eventually reveal… nothing. The onion has no core, no heart. There’s no ‘there’ there, just layers of deception.

Y’know, if I ran a good spy agency, I’d do my best to make all my operatives seem like clumsy oafs. It’s good to be underestimated. Defenses are lowered, etc. Underestimating an opponent is the surest way to be sucker-punched. No, I’d flaunt my failures and hide my successes. In fact, I’d start disinfo programs, to call my agents stupid.

How can it be that Sweden does not know that we are free to do as we please world-wide without interference from “foreign” countries. The huge black budget of the CIA, hidden from us and probably as well from the government is there to allow us to whack, carry out violent and non violent actions ANYWHERE because we are against TERROR.
What is the matter with the rest of the world? It can’t be us!.

oh no ! the socialist terror, they’ll want us all to have a good life … oh no …

just because it exists don’t make it right, if that were true every pedophile would be adopting a few kids every few years and why not, because everyone does it.

hey yeah … good cover plan :

if they are clumsy oafs we’ll just tell them that’s how we planned it, year that’s the ticket, that’s my story and i’m sticking to it

i’m pretty sure if we surrendered to the vikings (meant as a compliment) they would not want to touch this ce$$pool of a country with a 10 meter pole, in fact they would probably build a wall around it and leave it to what it was originally started as … a penal colony

that right … because

they have stuff to sell,
they have bottom lines to meet,
they have mergers to work on, …
now fall in line and stop your bellyaching
because you’d have nothing if it wasn’t for u$ rich greedy people.

wait for the trickle down and march on …

It’s imperative to spy on Sweden. A country that has universal health care and a social safety net is clearly a threat to America which has neither.

sweden is superior to the USA in every single way, and they have no grand ambitions of blowing up sovereign nations…yup sweeden must be spied on

You’re living in an 80s fantasy of grandeur and paranoid delusion. I’ve never read such idiotic crap.
“The only reason these Euros aren’t part of the USSR right now is because of us” This is a complete lie. The stance that the US took during this time made things much worse for Europe and came close to plunging us all into nuclear war. I will be delighted when the last American serviceman packs their bags and leaves this continent permanently as it will represent the end of your malign and unwanted influence.

And just what are the Swedes, Norwegians and anyone else going to do if the US decides not to stop spying on their allies? So much indignation, so little power. Down the road, it will come out that the local governments involved had agreed to the spying and just neglected to inform anyone else in their country about it. What a bunch of malarky.

NAME 1 COUNTRY THE CIA ISN”T IN!!!!

Hell of a partner, that USA.

-dcm

I don’t think nations other than the US are quite as powerless as You seem to think. Just watch…

-dcm

Swedes have been jerked around by US for a long time so they cannot honestly claim surprise here. It’s time for Swedes to pull their head out of the sand.

Sweden takes its neutrality very, very seriously and is likely to react. Several years ago, there was a submarine snooping around their harbor. After the U.S., the British and the Soviets all denied it was theirs, the King himself went on national TV (in his naval uniform) and sent out the navy to sink it. Which, if they did, we’d never hear about.

I think most are missing the point here. The U.S. is not spying on Sweden…it is conducting surveillance of RESIDENTS of Sweden. Both Norway and Sweden are safehaven countries for very violent Islamic extremists. Take a look at the volume of Chechnyan Islamist extremists who are safely hiding out in Sweden, running their fundraising and websites from the safety of Sweden.
The counteraccusations here, at the State Dept level, are that Sweden and Norway, are knowingly harboring terrorists. I think it is stupid for the American intelligence agencies to conduct these activities, and get caught, without notifying Norway or Sweden.

This story is not complete without adding a short but very true sentence that says something about Norway and Sweden being in big trouble from violent and extremist Muslims raping their societies and radicalizing their peaceful countries. Big trouble.

CIA: “We don’t need no stinkin’ permission!”

I think what YOU are missing is that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency is a criminal organization engaged in political and military activity on a global scale with NO OVERSIGHT from the U.S. government.

Hey Swedes, you’re just figuring this out now?

More balls than Barry even dreams about.

Cuba.

They also have no HIV.

Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

Yeah, gotta keep an eye on them socialists. Maybe a few smart bombs will teach them to mock American corporations.

You forgot the part about it being standard procedure for the CIA to operate out of U.S. embassies.

You mean after he went senile?

Yeah, them Moslems blend right in with the general Swedish population.

It is interesting to read these comments, and somewhat encouraging to be honest. Maybe I am wrong, but I sence that a lot more US-citizens (this is an american site, right? I just surfed here and have not yet done anything more than looked at the comments…) seem to “like” Sweden than I thought. I am born, and have lived in Sweden all my life, and was fairly satisfied with that, until Palme was assassinated. Since then the politicians here has made what they can to dismantle all national integrity, and its rapidly getting worse.

Anyway – nice to notice that there seem to be a lot of people in the US who use their brains in a creative manner too. I have often doubted that, I am afraid to say…which point out my prejudice, I guess.

Sweden is at strange country, containing a mix of people, from complete assholes (usually they become politicians), to brightminded geniuses (who mostly drown in what is called Jantelagen, and end upp ass bitter old idealist, missed by nobody in this wonderful world where anything is possible, as long as it does not conflict with what big brother says. (the law of Jante – look it up. This law never seem to affect americans, so probably you never have heard of it…)

Also – I have to brush upp my english. But my swedish is probably better than Yours…

Precisely, the CIA-MAFIA is itself a global terrorist organization who are trying to run their competitors out of business.

I was going to be facetious and say “Greenland”, but dad-gummit!

The political section is where those guys live.

It is pretty clear that Swedish law has been violated since it prohibits unauthorized registration and surveillance of citizens.

“Both Norway and Sweden are safehaven countries for very violent Islamic extremists. Take a look at the volume of Chechnyan Islamist extremists who are safely hiding out in Sweden, running their fundraising and websites from the safety of Sweden.”

LOL, who exactly are hiding in Sweden?
Sweden has very liberal views on it-techology which enables websites etc to be hosted on swedish servers. That is not the same thing as letting the people who own the sites live in sweden.

The CIA is probably in Cuba, and I doubt they have no HIV. I would suspect they have less, because of Cuba’s extensive, free health care system.

I am a US citizen, although I live out of the country currently. I am fairly certain the US has a level of arrogance in regards to what is proper protocol. They often seem to feel they are above all world law.

I understand fearing risk of attacks. However, the US must respect the laws with in countries they have been trusted to hold government offices in. Or else, we’re just roguish bullies.

Sorry Sweden and Norway. These officials should know better.

now tell me who we don’t spy on … oh yeah, any country committing human rights abuses and that includes the u$

“Sweden is at strange country, containing a mix of people, from complete assholes … to brightminded geniuses…”

although the same could be said about my family.

“…law of Jante … law never seem to affect Americans …” I did look “law of Jante” (which negatively portrays and criticizes success and achievement as unworthy and inappropriate) up and found out you are right about the u$ not knowing about it especially in a country where “greed is good”

while i was there (in wiki ) also looked up the assassination of Palme since it happened in 1986 and i needed to refresh my memory, here’s the link if any one else is interested

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Olof_Palme

thanks for the insight and your english is probably better than mine … because i don’t do caps, because they are unworthy

Terrific piece of content, this is very similar to a site that I have. Please check it out sometime and feel free to leave me a comenet on it and tell me what you think. Im always looking for feedback.

It is foolhardy to climb two trees at once just because one has two feet. Ethiopia

Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.
