Background
Although a country that prides itself on social equality, it has a small, but virulently reactionary section of the bourgeoisie, including the aristocracy, business leaders and in the military. The country's military-industrial complex includes arms companies such as Bofors, Saab, Kockums and Volvo Defense, which depend on exports to stay profitable. Another deep state element is the Wallenberg family, one of Europe's leading banking and industry dynasties.[citation needed] A third element is section of the Social Democrat movement. In its anti-communist zeal, it allied with other deep state actors and foreign spooks.
History
Sweden is home to Sveriges Riksbank, the world's oldest central bank.
1950s
Rickard Sandler, Swedish Prime Minister from 1925-1926 attended the 1956 Bilderberg.
Erik Boheman was a Swedish diplomat what attended 4 Bilderbergs from 1958 to 1962.
1960s
1970s
1980s
An extraordinary psychological warfare campaign in the 1980s aimed to unseat the Social Democrat government under Olof Palme. Over a period of several years, US and NATO submarines penetrated Swedish territorial waters, with the intention of being observed. This campaign happened in collaboration with the Swedish admiralty, and created major embarrassment for the elected government. See the documentary The Reagan Method (Film). This false flag method was used again briefly in 2014-15, to influence public opinion against Russia.
1990s
In 1994 the sinking of the ferry M/S Estonia killed over 800 people. A scandalously inadequate investigation covered up and ignored countless investigative threads. Theories involve NATO or Russian submarines sinking it, a bomb onboard, a failed attempt to transfer contraband while in rough weather on the high seas, and insurance fraud.[1]
2020
In contrast to the other European nation states, the Swedish government did not pass COVID legislation to institute a COVID Lockdown. This was very widely criticised as reckless and 'lax' by commercially-controlled media, even after it was praised by the WHO.[citation needed]
Events
- The IB-affair, where the Social Democratic Party had its own private intelligence service, cooperating with the government intelligence services, to spy on members of the unions, antiwar and peace movements, and weed out unwanted left wing elements. This surveillance would have been illegal if done by the government, hence the preference for a quasi-private solution. [2] IB also forwarded this information to the CIA. It is known that IB also did intelligence work abroad, especially against military targets in Arab countries like Egypt and against pro-Palestinian movements, information that was forwarded to the Israeli Mossad; and against Vietnam and antiwar-movements, information that was given to the US.
- The Congress for Cultural Freedom and other US covert initiatives heavily influenced the Swedish press. The editor Herbert Tingsten and other editors across the political spectrum published several dozen stories every week given to them by the US services, without mentioning the source.[citation needed]
- Carl Bildt was proven[When?][How?] to be a confidential source of the US embassy (ie agent of influence). He was involved in many of the other events mentioned here, or in the investigation commitees of them. Since retiring as Swedish PM, he has been active abroad serving US/NATO foreign policy objectives.[citation needed]
- The SNS Tylösand Summit (see entry Axel Iveroth), which might be a local version of the Bilderberg summit

The Swedish Prime Minister, Olof Palme, was assassinated on 28 February 1986, 4½ months after a document alleged to be a SADF Military Intelligence report concluded that Palme "should be seen as an enemy of the [South African] State." UK television reported on the day that Swedish police "don't suspect a political motive... they think, it could be the work of a madman".[3] Ole Dammegård wrote in Coup d'etat in slow motion that "after Palme there were no Swedish global politics", that the country had been subsumed as an obedient member of the supranational deep state.
Anna Lindh
The politician Anna Lindh was assassinated on 11 September 2003, in the run up to a Swedish referendum about EU membership, possibly by a "lone nut".
People
No Swedes are known to have attended Le Cercle.[4]

| James Schlesinger | “[Former United States Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger] said 'The [Swedish] Military was planning for us to come as soon as possible'. He obviously did not speak about all Swedish politicians or all Swedish military officers, but rather about a fundamental divide between a few relevant political leaders with the ambition of keeping Swedish neutrality, and some senior military officers that were directly linked up to the U.S. agencies, officers that identified themselves with the United States and with U.S. military priorities: They planned for the U.S. military forces to come to Sweden 'as soon as possible'” | Ola Tunander James Schlesinger | 1993 |
