Stockholm "Terror Attack" Seems Contrived
December 14, 2010
"Two explosions in Sweden's capital tore at the fabric of this tolerant and open nation -- a society that hadn't seen a terrorist attack in more than three decades. For the first time Sweden faces the prospect of domestic terrorism."
--Typical media coverage ratchets up the fear in Sweden inviting more "security" measures.

The Stockholm "terror attacker" Saturday more properly should be called the 'firecracker-bomber'. As can be seen in the videos, there was no bomb damage to the cars, except burning. Also the nearby glass windows didn't break. The 'firecracker-man' died,due to a stomach injury, and still showed signs of life when a passerby came to help him.
In the film linked on the front page of this newspaper, you can hear how minor the explosion was, so minor that people continue to walk towards the burning car. Also at the end of the film you see a billboard man (for a restaurant), who is hiding his face very effectively. Looks rather suspicious as we have had cold weather now for about a month and people have got used to the cold. Also this guy might fit in together with, what looks like an other billboard directly at the side of the dead 'terrorist'. This board seems also to have some damage. Did the suicide bomber have this board on him and if so, who had hired him?
In the pictures of the 'bomber' there is also a mobil-phone with some wires attached, supposedly used to ignite the 'bombs'. But why use such a sophisticated device when an ordinary battery and switch could do the job? Was this, like in Iraq bombings, used to let the real perpetrators set of the'bomb/bombs'? (There was a few more, very small 'bombs' around the 'firecracker-bomber', that didn't explode. Is it possible that his collaborators betrayed him?)
It's already a scandal here. As on 9/11, a person got a warning from a friend in the military that something was to happen in the actual street and day. (I thought they had a little better control of our big media?)
"A Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarsmakten) employee warned an acquaintance to stay clear of an area in central Stockholm on Saturday where, several hours later, two explosions went off in what is being called a terrorist attack. "If you can, avoid Drottninggatan today. A lot can happen there...just so you know," the message said, according to the TT news agency."

There are some more questionable factors. One is the facial expression of the man from our civil security service (SÄPO), at the beginning of the press conference. He seems very amused when a police chief starts of talking. Why? (second guy from left).

This might very well have been a staged set-up, similar to the film in the article "The Political Persecution of a 7/7 Truther".

You can also find videos on YouTube by searching [Stockholm suicide bomber].
Events like this provide the authorities with an excuse to step up their persecution of the general population in Sweden, as in the UK and America.

It was interesting to hear from your Stockholm correspondent. Yes,it's always pretty much the same,when you get right down to it. " Problem - Reaction - Solution ! " .
And,right now,World-wide,to translate these categories into practical and applied trerms,we end up with, " Terrorism - Public Fear,Panic and Submissiveness - Totalitarian Police State !!! " . Same old basic technique and methodology. But,Hey, " If it ain't broke - don't fix it. " . This tried-and-true approach has worked all over the World for centuries and so - Why meddle with success ? . " Remember the Maine " was such a contrivance. So was the Lusitania. Also the Sussex,which brought the U.S.A. into WW I. Ditto for Pearl Harbour. Exactly the same thing for the " Cold War " . Identical approach for the Gulf of Tonkin. " We need another Pearl Harbour " is still very much under discussion in the WWW. Why go on ? Every sensible person sees and understands these things.
