Open those archives and let the truth reveal itself.
Presumably, the SD expect to find some big Left Party and Social Democrat apparatchiks amongst the Quislings. I think they might be right; Bigitta Almgren has clearly turned up something interesting, but we are currently denied the right to know what it is.
It's always good to know if the politician that represents you is a traitor - or not.
Most probably found a photo of Reinfeld in bed with a beautiful East German Stasi agent that she wants to show.
But if SD is so quick to expose those that they oppose, they should be prepared to get as much if not more back. I am certain that there is a lot of dirty washing in the SD closet that has yet to be shown.
In my Britain ,I have always believed that many of those, particularly with prominent roles in the Trade union movement, wereof the communist persuasion. They would be more valuable to their masters as 'agents of influence' rather than somebody who steals military secrets.
How deep was the communist influence in perpetuating the Left-Wing governments that dominated Sweden for so long?
"How about opening the file that reveals nazi part connections of prominent SD members. fairs fair "
Your grasp of history and dates, (or is simply your maths?) seems to be somewhat awry.
The Swedish Democrats were founded in 1988 and their leader Jimmie Åkesson (their most prominent member) was born in 1979.
The Nazis meanwhile were done and dusted with in 1945.
100% right.
After Sweden Democrats get rid of Muslims, they will then get rid of Jews, non-swedes, Sami, gays, transsexuals, etc, etc.
Of course by then they will also have brought back the racial hygiene laws as well.
About 99% of the people commenting on this forum and its discuss section will be thrown out of the country.
This could be labeled as inciting hatred in politically correct Sweden I guess?
How about exposing those with links to CIA today? Are they any better than those with links to stasi?
I don't mind to expose links to CIA today, but the communist regimes were never close friends of Sweden, communists vowed to bury western systems. You may think America is the enemy of Sweden, but that's not the current official position. I guess the Swedish government has some relationship with CIA, but that's exactly the point, that's done in secret, but for the interest of Sweden, supervised by Swedish government. Were communist collaborators dispatched by Swedish government too?
@ Planet Sweden # The Nazis meanwhile were done and dusted with in 1945 # tell that to the people who've been hunting Nazi war criminals since May 1945, some of whom, because of their expertise (heavy water & rocket engines), were admitted to the good old USA after the Nuremburg trials.
Open the records so we know who we are dealing with.
@Rebel: IQ scores of the current Riksdag, doubt the majority know what an IQ is!!
