Environmental hypocrites....

Göteborg "green city" converting a grass field where children used to play fotball....into a parking lot...?

Security ?....only angainst virus !

The guy in the supermarket queue....is the current president of Portugal !

Lessons from 1918....

In the San Francisco Chronicle

The EU flag is missing....

Strange message from Sweden's prime minister. Not a member of the EU anymore...?

62 984 825...votes ?

Crook`s with immunity....

..the former king of Spain

Not only were they born with all the privileges...."donations" (bribes) of millions of euros, are extra welcome. Immunity ? How to frame that in the concept of democracy ? 

We had already the best deal....

..but we are firmly still looking for the second best...or maybe not even that ?

The biggest problem with Africa (and is starting to get old)....

..is the elected (or unelected) bandits and thieves, whose priority is to steal from the people of their countries. Here the former president of Angola (a Marxist !?), and his always smiling (she has a reason) daughter....the "richest woman in Africa".

Vinho do Porto....

..a delight for the savor

Alarm clock....

..when the most valuable real estate (coast lines) will become endangered by the rising of sea level....the opinion (and measures) to control climate changes will escalate.

Mining money....

..the contribution to micro local economy by international chains is rather limited. Their main purpose is to dig money in a location....and move it elsewhere. 

The regime of Iran....

..mainly consisting of hypocrites, liars and incompetent, have now sent those who filmed the attack on the civilian Ukrainian airplane to prison. Punishing people who come out with the truth (a crime against national security) is a top priority.

San Francisco, city of (no) shame....

..a common sight in the streets of SF

US most expensive city (one out of 11 000 inhabitants in SF is a billionaire). Common working people can not afford to live there anymore due to property prices, rental cost (3000 dollars/monthly for one bedroom apartment), private tourist accommodation...and so on. One of the results of such a "wealthy" city is 10 000 homeless people living in the streets due to drug-related problems, mental health problems, unemployment (or miserable salaries), and poverty. Massive cutbacks to mental health and public housing development as a result of neoliberal carcinoma, pushed the situation to a breaking point out of control. Because what you see in the streets of San Francisco, a few blocks away from the most expensive hotels, is no longer what we in Europe call poverty. What goes on in SF is a profound dehumanization of the most vulnerable.

Same destination....

Consider his enemies....

Meanwhile....

..on the other side of the North Atlantic a kangaroo court is about to take place....more like "democracy" as entertainment for stupids.

Gangster Sweden....

After decades of immigration mainly by refugees from conflict zones, the Swedish authorities never understood that it is rather impossible for a second generation to accept the fate of being second class citizens. Residential areas with mainly immigrant residents, no jobs, dependence on the welfare system, and subsequent poverty - acting has a slow time bomb. The fruits of such a policy are now to be harvested in the shape of hard criminality. Was the result of the equation that difficult to predict...?

Fashion...really ?

..or, I'm going to apply for a job in a circus, 

but right now I want to buy a proper nose for the job.

Urban plague....

..by some stupid dog owners

Changes....

..not so long ago the coffee shops were places for socializing 

..maybe socializing with those who are not there ?

The problem with "social media"....

..is that it works mostly as "social stupedia"

John Le Carre: "Brexit is the biggest idiocy perpetrated by the United Kingdom"

Proud member of the *FFC....

*fuck facebook club

Just wait....

The hypocrites....

..the Berlin Wall was considered a hindrance to freedom and human rights.

..and is this one considered what ?

"The Stupids" soon in a theater near you.....

Meanwhile....

..in Sweden, police investigations of rape against women....do not have top priority.

Parabéns malta....

..the winners of the first Nations League

Boris is a shameless liar....

“there will seldom be a more serious misconduct allegation against a member of parliament or mayor than to lie repeatedly to the voting public on a national and international platform, in order to win your desired outcome”.

Golden Visas of Europe....

..provides shelter for criminals and possible money laundering / tax evasion. That's a good European double moral....as usual.

G7....No more Nasrins

"As concerned citizens from around the globe, we urge you to call for the release of Nasrin Sotoudeh in Iran, Loujain al-Hathloul in Saudi Arabia, and all other women’s right activists being imprisoned and abused around the world. We call on you to use your economic and diplomatic leverage to free these brave women and send a message to the world that women cannot be abused with impunity."

Göteborg, Bio Capitol, anno 2019

Cinema sessions for dogs is now a reality in the city of Göteborg. Very hygienic for those who are going to use the same chairs later in the evening !? What´s next....libraries and bookshops for dogs ? 

Money laundering....

..or "monkey business" by Scandinavian banks

Västlänken....Hagakyrkan

..before

The recent photos were taken from the church tower with the devastation of dozens of old trees. A splendid example of local fake democracy....

The (Not So) Neutrals of World War II

"The neutral states of World War II -- among them Switzerland, Sweden and Portugal -- composed their neutrality day after day"

''Sweden was not neutral, Sweden was weak,'' said Arne Ruth, a Swedish journalist who has written a book on the Third Reich. ''Its sales of iron ore made an important contribution to the German effort. It allowed German troops and weaponry through its territory to Norway. In 1943, its government told the central bank to ignore suspicions that German gold Sweden received was looted."

I took my pet with me....

Shame on you....Sweden !

The Pandemrix vaccine Swedish health authorities used in 2009 to mass vaccinate the population, devastating 470 lives (mostly young persons) with the disease narcolepsy. The proposed indemnities to the affected is a mockery. So it is always with indemnities in this country. A bloody joke and a serious case of state arrogance....

Just for the register....

A survey of the UK's Creative Industries Federation members has shown that 96 per cent are in favor of remaining in the European Union. The UK creative industries deliver a massive £84.1 billion to the British economy.
