Revolution

We have an obligation to rise against every corporation
that is trying to rape and exploit our beloved nation

To stand up for our ethics and culture and autonomy
and not let ourselves be depraved by economy

We need to defend the remains of our shattered democracy
from greed and corruption and the imperialist autocracy

So it´s time to get rid of all these purchased politicians
and let Love, Faith and Hope take their positions

‘Cause when our entire nation has been bought and sold
without us people ever seeing the chests of silver and gold

There will be but one solution -
a very bloody revolution.

In awe

In awe I´ve been walking around this earth,

Watching her beautiful manifestations,

The cycles of life, death and birth,

Feeling all kinds of ecstatic sensations:

The love for a tree,

A deep breath of air,

Bliss being me,

And the sensation to share.

In awe I´ve been walking around this earth,

Watching unparalleled greed and warring nations,

Everything measured in what it´s worth,

And numerous other massive aberrations:

No-one is free,

Blind to the snare,

Unable to flee,

Or do we simply not care?

The misfit

So many times I have just gone mute this past year.

Probably better than to react with anger to all the ridiculous things I hear.

What is making people buy all this shit?

Or is it just me, who simply don´t fit?

For me, the picture is crystal clear!

But most other people see something totally different, I fear…

So what is the difference between them and me?

Could it be that I am mainstream media free?

Or am I missing some important piece?

Can someone tell me, please!

Everyone knows...

... that Russia is a threat against Sweden.

 Since everyone in Russia is just sitting around, waiting for the signal to invade some country, and since Sweden has so many natural resources and on top of it all, is strategically simply exquisite, we will obviously be the first in a long list of countries, that Russia will attack. That´s for sure. Proven, stamped and archived. 

... that Russian submarines are present in the archipelago of Stockholm. 

In the 80's when our country was being paralyzed with fear due to similar testimonies, the "Soviet submarines" turned out to be ... minks ... and possibly some NATO submarines too ... but THIS TIME the testimonies are most certainly correct, because everyone has seen photographic evidence which, as clear as mud, shows that it was specifically a RUSSIAN submarine, and that this submarine was located specifically in the Stockholm archipelago. That the alleged emergency call to Kaliningrad was pure fable has nothing to do with it. Everyone knows that. And the fact that Dutch submarines, for some reason, are moving around in Swedish waters; that is nothing to snag on. 

... that Putin is all-powerful. 

We, here in this elongated and oh so informed country of Sweden, have done our homework regarding the power structure in Russia. There's actually not much to know really. Putin is in control. All other politicians and entrepreneurs in this huge country are just puppets who have no authority what so ever. It's amazing really, when you think about it. That one person alone is capable of ruling a country that is laid out over no less than NINE time zones and with a whole plethora of different ethnic groups and interests. That he is making all the decisions, all by himself. That is nothing less than phenomenal! Putin is indeed synonymous with Russia! Everyone knows that. 

... that Putin wants to create a new Soviet empire. 

Sure. Russia´s, or one might say Putin´s, military forces have really ravaged wildly over the world and in their actions killed hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of civilians and collapsed several governments in recent decades. They have created chaos and havoc wherever they have set foot and they have exploited and grabbed all the wealth in the countries they have occupied ... Or how was it now ... maybe we have mixed up the different empires a little bit, but that´s a trifle really, because everyone knows that if only Russia had had the chance, they would have acted EXACTLY the same. And if they had done so, it WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OK! 

... that elections in Russia are rigged. 

That is something we just know. There is no need for any proof. That´s how it is with elections in Russia, and that´s how it will always be. The fact that the Russians (i.e. Putin), because of all accusations about rigged elections, put up cameras in all polling stations across the country, to prove that everything went by the book, does not matter. Not enough proof. And the fact that Putin is very popular among HIS people - and that the majority (75% or so) might have voted for him if the election would have been honest - that´s not the point here. As long as the Russian president is not accepted, and, most preferably selected, by the West, so elections will simply be seen as illegitimate. 

... that all the real Russians, all Russians that count, dislike Putin. 

Although we've never been to Russia and asked around among the people there what they really think, we have indeed met a couple of emigrated Russians here in Sweden and BOTH of them were very unhappy with the life they had in Russia. Things are different here in Sweden. Everyone knows that all the Swedes who emigrate, really most of all would like to stay because they are SO INCREDABLY PLEASED with everything you can ever imagine here in Sweden. That's why they leave. 

... that Russia is a little behind (250 years or so) in development (due to the Mongols). 

It's very easy to figure that one out. All countries must follow the same trend line. If a country suddenly starts to deviate from this line, well then of course, it goes without saying, that they have strayed from the only existing developmental possibility and thus they fall behind. For time stands still outside this line. Everyone knows that! 

... that Mikhail Gorbachev was the best thing that happened to Russia / Soviet Union. 

The fact that the Russians themselves claim that he was the greatest disaster that the country could suffer ... well, what can you say. They're a little wacky those Russians. We probably know a little bit better what is good for them and not. For crying out loud. 

... that it's ok to boo a person just because he or she is Russian. 

Except if this person is gay, black, or a Jew... Then it's obviously not ok, considering what the poor things have endured throughout history. It wasn´t long ago when a black person could be prosecuted and punished without the slightest evidence. Just because he or she was black! Shameful, is what we think about that. 

Note that this text is a parody of all those popular and massively ignorant opinions that seem to have been adopted by the masses and so the text is meant to awaken my fellow country men and women from this mass hypnosis, caused by our lovely mainstream media.  

Everyone knows so immensely much these days that nobody has a clue about anything!

The thing is that I'm so sick and tired of the escalating anti-Russian propaganda that recently adopted purely absurd proportions here in Sweden. Not a day goes by without hearing or reading some obvious innuendoes, contemptuous or smart ass negative comments about Russia. And now I have finally realized that those, whom I thought would be the balancing counterweight to the mainstream media's ridiculously ignorant and biased reporting, will keep silent. And not only that, they have even joined the force that is spreading a negative image of the country which lies, in addition to my beloved motherland Sweden, the closest to my heart.

Not once in the past year, have I encountered the viewpoint that was based on the understanding of the differences between our respective countries, or an effort to investigate what we have in common. Not once have I come across information about all the positive changes brought about in Russia in recent years. Not once have I heard anyone apologize for all the absurd allegations that have been made ​​against Russia, but rather, new even more absurd allegations have been invented. And "everyone knows" that with "Russia" one means "Putin". And "everyone knows" what kind Putin is. And everyone has a hell of a lot of opinions about both Putin and Russia, without having even the slightest idea about what they have opinions about. Everyone already knows how things really are, so no one bothers to find out how things REALLY are!

And everything should be measured with Swedish / Western standards, and judged according to these standards. As if there wouldn´t be any other way of looking at it.

And then people are arrogant enough to talk about "Russian propaganda". The Russian propaganda is nothing in comparison with the Western one! How do I know that? Well, because there is existing an opposition in Russia. In Sweden this would be impossible, since everyone already knows exactly what to think about everything?

This whole anti-Russian campaign will, in addition to inciting people against each other (which has already been quite successful), lead to a NATO membership for Sweden and by extension, probably to war (at least if the US and NATO get to decide, and their propaganda machine is working as hard as it can right now). A, for us ordinary people, totally pointless war (as always), in which we are taught to hate each other even more and where those who are already filthy rich will get even richer while we ordinary people, regardless of nationality, will suffer.

When will we stop hating each other? When will we stop waging war? When will we stop being afraid of what is different?

Yes, I am angry, sad and disappointed, and I refuse to step onto this despicable train of hatred!

Enough is enough!!!
