Swedish Government wants to ban ancient Viking symbols, claiming they “constitute incitement to hatred”

By Emma R., Voice of Europe, 23 May 2019

The Swedish Government is trying to make certain runes from the runic alphabet, as well as some old Norse Scandinavian symbols illegal.

Story continues below advertisement

Their official reason for banning the runes is that Nazis used some of them during the second world war, for example the Odal rune that means O and the Tyr/Tiwaz rune that means T.
Reportedly, the Social Democratic Minister of Justice Morgan Johansson is behind the initiative.
According to the proposal, Old Norse symbols and jewelry may also be banned as incitement to hatred. This includes Mjolnir, hammer of the Norse God Thor, the Valknut/Odin’s knot and the Vegvisir.
However, runes are over 1200 years old and have absolutely nothing to do with Nazis.
For many Swedes, the runes are a big part of their religion Asatru, and for some they just have a great historical meaning.

In the definition of racism in Sweden it is included that any kind of oppression against a religion is racist.

Which means that banning runes is racist and against Swedish law. Nonetheless, the government is now trying to ban the country’s pre Christian heritage, religion, culture and art.

To ban runes because they were used by Nazis is exactly like banning the Christian cross because it was used by Ku Klux Klan or in the crusades, or to ban the Arabic letters that are used by the soldiers of the Islamic State, IS/ISIS or Al-Qaeda.

At the Asa-Community, which organises Asatru and people with an interest in the Old Norse cultural heritage, the outrage is great about what they mean is a restriction on, among other things, religious freedom.
A petition has been launched, and on Friday May 24, a manifestation in protest against the proposal will be held outside Parliament in Stockholm.
The interest in Old Norse traditions has grown strongly in recent times, both in Sweden and abroad, and includes TV series such as Vikings, The Last Kingdom and Game of Thrones.

“Nonetheless, the government is now trying to ban the country’s pre Christian heritage, religion, culture and art.”

Like over here, they want to rewrite history to suit their agenda and ban symbolism so people forget their history.
Whether it is Islam or Communism that is the replacement, or a hybrid of the two, no reminders of the past are allowed unless they can pervert it to favor the replacement. It’s all part of destroying western civilization.

“man up” is the last thing some want to hear in Sweden. Talk about stupidity run rampant, the Swedes have got it down to fine art. Most of the government are women and they are about as dumb as a rock. Anyone with a brain in their head doesn’t permit Muslim immigration and in this regard the West has lost its mind, but probably worst of all are the Swedes who after having Malmo turned into a mess with incessant rapes and explosions, it continued to permit hoards of Muslims into the country. No it guards its borders but what about shipping out the worthless savages?

And the very same scums who abuse/moch christians want to bring in more illegals/jihadis who rape, assault, murder women !

They are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons

And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/libs-say-evil-is-myth/

Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

In plain language this means: Everything that has ever been
captured by Nazi pirates is completely useless afterwards. The
Hindus and Buddhists should finally ban their ancient swastika.

Liberals believe nationalism is something “evil” because

of Hitler. In truth, Hitler has subsequently triumphed over
them by amputating their healthy national pride forever.

Jews no longer have an alternative to choice, may
only do what Hitler did not symbolized in their eyes.

This is reminiscent of a deceived lover who
punishes himself all his life with partnerless-
ness. Because partner means evil. It shows
how immature these people are who adhere
to the left ideology. The problem begins when
they also want to dictatorially forbid the rest of
humanity to look at the world as it sees fit. Just
like the ones they’re supposed to forbid: Nazis.

I am in favour of banning the swastika in the way the
Nazis depict it, and also of banning it if it’s once again
misused as a “symbol of fascism”. The curious thing is
that Finland, Sweden’s direct neighbour, still holds on
to the Swastika as the official emblem of its air force.

But the symbol isn’t disgraced by serious crimes. That
old Germanic runic writing is quasi “poisoned” because
genocidal occultists plagiarized it is, however, a typical
left-wing intellectual exaggeration that lies beyond com-
mon sense and is therefore not honored by the voters,
but causes a backlash. They should only continue like
this, so that they drive all their flocks into the arms of the

Well, at least. Stalin was indeed a serious threat to little Finland. And
so the Finns tried diplomatically to find a compromise, of which every-
one had something, without falling victim to a further Hitler invasion,
too, like Norway and Danmark. But when they realized that the Nazis
had practically lost the war, they quickly fought theirway to the other
side. Russia should have forked over the stolen territory of Karelia.

Bottom line first: this is an attack on Swedish pride, history, culture and nationalism in an attempt to erase it and create a void. That void would ultimately be replaced with vile islamic symbols and culture. At least I think that’s the long term plan. The official reason for banning the runes because Nazis used some of them during the second world war is a very lame excuse that only the most simple minded would buy into.
I had to do a quick study to learn more about runes and learned they are much more than just an alphabet. With the runes being tied into a religion and having great historical meanings I can understand why the globalists would want them gone.

EU elections first forecast at 6 p.m.: 15.5% is the worst result the Social Democrats have
ever had in Germany. The same goes for the CDU/CSU with 28%, with the CDU accoun-
ting for 22% and the CSU 6%. In Bavaria, the CSU remained below 40% with 39.5%.

The Greens are flying high with 22%, with strong voter migrations away from the SPD
and CDU/CSU to the Climate Hysteria Party. The AfD reached only 10.5%, which is
below expectations. Left and FDP each 5.5%, free voters 2.1%, the party 2.6%.

In the state elections in Bremen, the SPD dropped by 8.3% to only 24.5%,
the first time in more than 70 years that it is behind the CDU, which came to
25.5%. Green 18%, Left 12%, AfD 7%, FDP 6% and citizens in rage 2.6%.

In Austria the ÖVP reaches 34.5%, the SPÖ 23.5%, the FPÖ slips to
17.5%, the Greens 13.5%, NEOS 8% according to the first forecasts.

In Italy, the Lega of Mateo Salvini is believed to have 30%
plus X, the 5-star movement and the PD with 20% each.

The New World Order, which the “Progressive” Marxists want to foist on us, desires to erase ALL tradition and history, all reminders of who we are and from whence we came. They want to destroy all knowledge of the Past in order to create a zero starting point for their new “reality”. We are not to have ANY sense of individual identity, but rather accept that we are mere units in a political stew of Globalism. It is a draconian “Brave New World” that they propose for us in which those in charge make all the decisions for those subject to them. It is slavery of the highest order. There would be no freedom of any sort; no freedom of movement; no freedom of thought; no freedom of decision; no freedom of opinion or belief; no freedom of personal selection. There would be only slavery to an all powerful State.
This monstrous ideation is the bottom line for the Democratic Progressives of today. They do not desire to help you; they want to have power to rule over you as they see fit. We see this in everything they have done. They espouse the principle (rejected by morality) that the End justifies the Means. As we have seen they will do anything and stop at nothing to achieve what they want, rejecting and violating all restraints of Law.
Their words are meant to obfuscate, not to clarify’; their promises are empty lies. They abhor all sense of right and wrong. There is only their Right! Any religion that preaches a Higher Power and individual supremacy is their enemy. They seduce with material offerings and acceptance of narcissistic hedonism. They corrupt all that is good and foster all that is ultimately bad for people so that in debasing them they can reduce them to manageable subjects. Do not follow these Pied Pipers into self destruction. Do not give up who you are, what you are, your hopes, your dreams, your beliefs. your humanity.

Those very stupid swedes never will learn. My father who was half Northern Norwegian and half Russian was very proud of his Viking ancestry and so was his family. If someone wants to read the best book on Vikings, read “Vladimir the Russian Viking” by Volkov. It tells of the thousands of Norse Vikings who went to Russia at the request of Vladimir the first , fought with and for him and thousands of them stayed in Russia because they were rewarded for their fierceness. It describes their physical size and strength also. Those sissy swedes in power today are a bunch of sell-outs and it appears that most of that worthless country should be banished period. It would not be any great loss since the rag heads are about to take over anyway. IMO Russia should go in and take it over and destroy all the rag heads and swedes that like them period.

What about us stupid Americans ? Don’t see any Christian Americans stopping the invasion of Islam in our country. Texas among the most popular states for mosques. “New York still has the greatest number of Islamic centers – 257 – followed by 246 in California and 166 in Texas. Florida is fourth with 118,” the story said. Several new Houston mosques have opened in the past few years, with others undergoing significant, multi-million dollar expansions in response… Don’t worry about Sweden because we might be ruled by Islam before Sweden.

Who didn’t back then, one thing that separated the Vikings from the Christians and Muslims is that that they weren’t religious fanatics bent on making everyone bow to their gods and once the Norse settled into an area people were virtually very safe especially for women because they had a much high respect for women than either Muslims or Christians at that time.

Compare to how Muslims treat women I wouldn’t even talk, besides the violence that initially went on at first which was common place during the middle ages and long before and long after (Mongols during their heyday, Germans, Russians Japanese during WWII are fine examples.) women in Norse culture were treated as equals and even fought along side their men which shocked the hell out of the Christians who treated women like dogs at that time.

How many white women from Europe were taken, enslaved and raped by Muslims in North Africa again for a long long time only ending in the 19th century when we Americans finally had enough of their sh8t and put the Barbary Nation’s in their place again.

Oh and how many Hindu women do you think were raped, beaten and murdered by Muslims, I bet no one count that high.

You remember 9/11…don’t you? and the thousands of jihadi attacks, Sharia Law, acid attacks, ongoing Church burnings and desecrations, ongoing genocide of Christians, FGM, ongoing child marriages, ongoing slavery, ongoing epidemic of rape of infidel women, ongoing hijrah invasions, etc. “IslamoNazis” is a mild description for the followers of the pedophile warmongering Muhammad. The problem with the WEST they allow “freedom of religion” but it didn’t take into account that there can be things called a “religion” that was inspired by Satan.
