Swedish press slams proposed surveillance law
13 Jun 08
First, the paper points out the slippery slope facing FRA when it comes to interpreting just how far the agency’s powers are extended by changing its mandate from monitoring “external military threats” to monitoring “external threats” of all kinds.
“The term is so diffuse that it becomes open for free interpretation. The other ‘external threats’ named—such as migration flows, epidemics, and oil spills—illustrate this,” writes GP.
“No matter how many threats are taken into consideration, it’s nevertheless doubtful that they are really so great that they legitimize the infringement on privacy which is now upon us.”

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the Swedes passed the law today! Incredible! This is Big Brother! With this, Sweden is no longer free.
There's a related thread about the new law here:

80%, that's a lot! They want to spy on Russia! Today, in the news I hear something new about this law. They want to change it to "military threats" instead of "external". Russia is most likely the target with this law, and not Al Qaeda.

Since the Scandinavian countries are the only bastion of true, mainly proportional, grass roots democracies that empower the people left in this
world, I believe this is a very real attempt to create: problem, reaction, solution, to start to take away their powers. In addition, it may even be
an attempt to try and get rid of this shining light in the world first before they proceed with their world plans.
Don't allow your wonderful laws to be trampled on!

Sweden passes divisive wiretapping law
An amended version of Sweden's controversial new signals intelligence law was passed in the Riksdag on Wednesday, with 158 members voting in favour and 153 against.
[---]
"Are we really, in a democratic country, going to implement a system which entails wire tapping the masses?" the Left Party's Alice Åström asked her colleagues in the Riksdag
[---]
“The state is going to get unlimited power to monitor citizens' data traffic,”
...
To avoid this thread getting too far off-topic... , the Swedish wiretapping law is being discussed here.

Russian General assassinated in Moscow
A Russian General was killed by a bomb in Moscow today. Apparently an assassination by Ukrainians. He was allegedly the chief of Russia's chemical and nuclear weapons. Biological weapons too? Anyway, beware of Russian saboteurs who can possibly plant viruses in NATO countries! They've used polonium and novichok in the UK already, as we know.
