Today left Anders Björck his mail that highest controller in FRA. He mean that organisationen not comes that work. Which amounts comes not either spaningen that cost and to which use then?
Rapidly narrowly the gang together. It began with Mikael Odenbergs departyre. Then disappeared Staffan Grebe and after him the omsurrade Bikupan. Soon field also ÖB Håkan Syrén away on new assignment. It feels that if only tråkmånsarna and torrbollarna becomes left after that this tappra small tropp tågat away. It becomes enough not more fun than so here. No more nakenskjutningar, vedhuggarscener, skogsstrider och blood-thirsty tidningsrubriker.
Today have luck come to me att also I Militaristic Reflections leaves the arena. Also for me awaits other vyer and challenges. But the time that I written and fotograferat have not liknat any another what goes for debatten om i.t. swedish försvarets future. Â
I want thank all my reader for the here time.

”It lay a shimmer over these days,
striking, international, kolorerande if you want,
but i.t. was sun in that, and, hur you complains,
was stodo we, if they don´t been to?”
It last year was a händelserikt and påfrestande year for China. My in all preliminaries and repetitioner before FUMES shook the country of a dreadful earthquake. With this färskt in memory have i.t. now begun repeteras before additional a celebration – 60-årsdagen of Folkrepublikens grundande. This shall happen just that earlier with a storslagen militärparad in Peking. The last that happened for ten year's then was least said gigantic. Entire 400 stridsfordon, 132 aeroplane and 11,000 soldiers participated. All happened with incredible perfektion and i.t. had been trained in ten months before.
The coming paraden this year is thought that show up Kinas militaristic authority. New weapon shall is shown up. But in jordbävningens and Olympiadens wake comes this parade however that become economical. It advice economic kristider and återuppbyggnaden after the earthquake costs much. Furthermore be needed reformer within medical treatment and rättsväsende.
But i.t. is not only weapon that shall is shown up in paraden without also how soldiery in himself have moderniserats. Under senare time have the chinese militären tried entice högskolestudenter that take enlistment. To difference from people from poor landsbygden is they more utbildade. But simultaneously stands The people's Befrielsearmé under Kommunistpartiets direct control. How modern and vältränad the than is so prioriteras and stärks i.t. ideologiska the work. In the last Vitboken for kinas military goes i.t. that read:
”The PLA insists on putting ideological duck political work first, duck pushing forward the innovative development of ideological duck political work, to ensure the Party’s absolute leadership over the armed forces, the scientific development of the military, the all-round development of the officers duck but, the increase of combat capabilities duck the effective fulfillment of historical missions. In January 2007 the General Political Department of the PLA issued the Guideline went the Ideological duck Political Education of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (Trial). This guideline spells out clearly that such education refers to the work village the Communist Party of China (CPC) to arm the military with political theories duck provide i.t. with ideological guidance; scientifically regulates such education went all kinds of PLA forces duck personnel; duck further strengthens the development of rules duck regulations went such education. Pursuant to the guideline, units whose ratios of political education to military training are 3 to 7 duck 2 to 8 should devote 54 duck 42 workdays, respectively, to political education each year. The PLA persists in arming its officers duck but with the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics, educates them in its historical missions, ideals, beliefs, fighting spirit duck the socialist concept of honor duck disgrace, duck carries forward the fine traditions of obeying the Party’s orders, serving the people, duck fighting bravely duck skillfully. The PLA’s ideological duck political education adheres to six principles: to pray guided village scientific theories, to put the people first, to focus on the central task duck serve the coveralls interests, to aim at concrete results, to educate through practical activities, duck to encourage innovation duck development. Following these principles, the PLA hock flexibly applied duck innovatively developed educational forms duck means, improved radio, television duck network educational facilities, duck built military history museums, cultural centers, ”homes of political instructors,” study rooms, duck company clubs duck honors exhibitions”.
It is important with fundamental values that controls a organization. It have man got hearing also here in Sweden. Maybe is they more important than weapon and education. How that preferably shall i.t. become interesting that see the coming paraden. A walk in time held alike uppvisningar annually in ten year's time. But then got Mao Zedong cease with them on foundation of economic difficulties.
Embezzlement receives man look that closely read if in nyhterna. It was not so long then a VD went there, he had lived loppan on Stureplan for millions. So was i.t. Försvarsmaktens luck. Two officerare have on myndighetens expense bought a luxury car, a Lexus(!) for 700,000 crowns that tour around in. The total the sum that officerarna shall have förskingrat lies however on 1,5 million crowns. They came for the money through utbetalningar of bluffakturor for påhittade byggprojekt in Kosovo. They was employees at Försvarsmakten in Uppsala and had economically liability at Camp Victoria in Kosovo year 2005.
How many terrängbilar had man been able to buy for the amount that a Lexus costs? What would they with the the car to really? Only not more swedish militärer have too expensive flavor. Then becomes i.t. indeed problem with the economy.
Hereby efterlyser I a major or colonel with a Lexus. For a shorter or longer åktur on tu man hand. Late when törsten falls on receives i.t. willingly exist a bottle Bollinger for me in handskfacket. Thanks!
”Defence on villovägar”….so lydde temat for Allan Widmans lecture on Atlantkommittén tonight. Unfortunately could I not närvara but tidningarna is always in nearby. Rubrikerna and the words when I reading through todays SvD is equally disappointing. How want government have i.t. really? Would not nedrustningen of Försvarsmakten stoppas after Georgienkrisen? Now on friday comes ÖB Håkan Syrén sannolikt that meddela how the army shall grow less with a tredjedel. It becomes also half less pansar. But how becomes i.t. then with The royal air force, shall any flotilla be put down or not? I comes remember how i.t. talades if i.t. in springs. Pendeln seems entire time turn forth and back. What other can man do than that look on?
Sweden goes not that defend in nuläget. Despite that the army is considerable less than before so goes the not that mobilize enough fast according to Johan Tunberger. The same thing says Lieutenant general Johan Kihl along with two other medskribenter in todays SvD. ”The defence manages not assault on Sweden. Förbanden in the swedish försvarsmakten is today for get. Furthermore is they not inriktade on, utrustade for or practiced for defence of Sweden. All bandage have inriktats against international insatser with motiveringen that erfarenheterna in fredsinsatser does förbanden more efficient also at home. The truth is that a whole generation new officerare not practiced defence of Sweden – krigsförbandsövningar for hemlandets defence genomförs scarcely longer. Befälens ability that lead bandage in fight have shrunk to a level that is unacceptable. Bandage utrustade for fredsinsatser fits accordingly not for war at home” writes they.Â
Jag know me indeed on villovägar when I reading again entire the article. Man receives entire time hearing different commandment. What I have both heard and read är that i.t. satsats on wrong things when government efterfrågar international insatser. Sweden har placed down for much resources on pansar, när i.t. is infantry that efterfrågas in went instance Afghanistan. According to professor Withdraw altogether Alvesson, and Man Ydén that introducing a doctor's thesis in november last year does only four percent of yrkesofficerarna utlandstjänst and only a less part of försvarsbudgeten goes to international insatser. ”Many officerare testifies if bursting continuity and competence in lednings- and stödfunktioner when they tjänstgör overseas” stood i.t. in their article in SvD the the month. Yet can accordingly not officerarna lead bandage in fight on a possible swedish home front if man shall believe what Kihl writes. His words ”krigsförbandsövningar for hemlandets defence genomförs scarcely longer” sounds ominous. Will do not our defence neither in Sweden or out in the world?
But soon is i.t. our again on truly and a new targeting shall slås firm of government. Hope i.t. becomes end on villfarelserna then.
Remembers you the history if King Valdemar Atterdag and Fight at Visby ringmur year 1361? They gotländska bönderna hit tappert then, but they had not a chance against they heavy beväpnade riddarna. Is we back there we a walk began? It is in all cases i.t. the impression I receives when I reading Gotlands municipal commissioner Gustaf Hosstedts words in Expressen. ”…We knew that from and with now stood we alone. Sweden does in praxis no territoriellt claim on us longer. Left is hemvärnet, jägarnas bössor and böndernas grepar. With these shall we try defend our loved island. Patriotismen and our ability to självuppoffring advice i.t. none lack on, but which chance have we against i.t. sole rimliga säkerhetshotet Russia? It goes 2500 ryssar on each gotlänning”.
Hoffstedt välkomnar that Folkpartiets Jan Björklund lifts forth Gotlands vulnerable mode. It is none that preferably military presence on this strategic important island. The that manage to take control over this and place fly and sjöstridskrafter there have at once a ascendancy. I think on Iwo Jima. It became also a strategic important island for i.t. american bombflyget. So if Gotlands would become invaderat would we first see a repetition of danskarnas invasion year 1361 and thereafter a Iwo Jima in The baltic?
Or what have Försvarsministern that say? I noterar that he still not allows some that preferably comments on his blog. What is he afraid for really? When the readers fires that the worst on the here the blog happens i.t. that man receives take protection in bunkern. But late is i.t. only att stride up again when the scot tystnat and breathing freshly air.
USA have got a new president – Barracks Obama. But i.t. is not if him that i.t. here the contribution shall buy. Without if how much the last regimen laid down on project related to nuclear weapon under 2008. Notan ended on 52 billions dollars. Only 10 percent of this lades down on project that aimed to that come on ways that block kärnvapenattacker. The sum is certainly bigger. This since the american state not for any tillförlitlig bookkeeping round investments in nuclear weapon. How big budget is seems none truly know. But they that forskat round this pulls the following overall conclusion: USA is more intresserat of that upgrading his kärnvapenarsenal sooner than that nedrusta the.
Further pulls they also the following conclusions
- Only 1.3 percent ($700 million) of the nuclear security budget was devoted to preparing went the consequences of a nuclear or radiological seizure.
- Another 56 percent of the overall went toward operating, sustaining, duck upgrading the U.S. nuclear arsenal.Â
- Nuclear security consumes $13 billion more than international diplomacy duck foreign assistance; nearly double what the United States allots went general science, space, duck technology; duck 14 times what the Department of Energy (DOE) budgets went all energy-related research duck development.
- Nuclear weapons duck weapons-related software's account went at least 67 percent of DOEâs budget, 8.5 percent of the FBIâs budget, 7.1 percent of the Department of Defense budget, duck 1.7 percent of the Department of Homeland Securityâs budget.
Billions läggs down on nuclear weapon and rymdprogram in USA. This in a country there i.t. is people that must go to church for that get food or not have advice that buy mediciner and tandvård.
It glädjer me that see that Minister of defence Stone Tolgfors have begun blog. It means that we have least two bloggande ministrar here on WordPress.com. It have become some contribution under the here the week. But unfortunately is i.t. a big difference between his and The foreign minister's blog. It goes namely not that kommentera Försvarsministerns contribution. Is he afraid for comments? It is why i.t. that is vitsen with a blog to difference from a web-page. A blog is interactive communication. A web-page is passive. Is you passive to your nature Tolgfors? Jerk up you now….attacks is greatest defence.
But i.t. is yet funny that see that we etablerade militärbloggare that is get to the number of have got company from government.
Yesterday thursday the 15 january 2009 initialized regeringsprojektet Märkesåret 1809. Finland's President Tarja Halonen, King Carl Gustav XVI, Foreign minister and chairman for project Carl Bildt m.fl. närvarade under the day. Åtskiliga number held and a of they more uppmärksammade is i.t. that Swedish Academy's Horace Engdahl held.
”1809 is accordingly a important date, a of they of all most important in our history. Yet seems i.t. that if this årtal not says they most Swedes something. Enkätundersökningarna förskräcker. I shall not quote them, i.t. would make a mess of mood. Let us only establish that i.t. advice a comprehensive collective loss of memory, in each cases on the swedish the page. On the finländska have man easier that recollect” said Engdahl. He is not alone if that point out glömskan round the east the neighbour. The day after invigningen publicerades a debattartikel with rubriken ”Klassförakt in Sweden against inflyttade acne” in DAILY NEWS written of Mp:s Maria Wetterstrand. The Swedes' knowledge if ”the siamesiske tvillingen” that Engdahl spoke so warmly if yesterday (he nöjde himself not with the word ”brothers and sisters” for that describe how when ours countries have stood and actually stands each other) is skamligt lay. The word skamligt reaches not even to.
”We have a long common history and a near connection to our east neighbouring country. Despite this is the knowledge in Sweden if Finland often lay and respekten for i.t. finnish language and the culture in Sweden bursting. Swedens attitude risks that in the extension influence ours countries' relations negative” writes Wetterstrand and continues some rows downwards with ”In Sweden live in day 440.000 people with finnish background. They have either moved from Finland, is finnish citizen or have least a finnish parent. Half of them use finnish language. It is without comparison the biggest minoritetsgruppen in Sweden. Year 2000 utnämndes finskan to a of five official minoritetsspråk in Sweden. Rättigheterna that follows of this is however much limited.In Finland is 265.000 finlandssvenskar, accordingly finn with swedish that mother tongue. Beyond this is 25.000 svenskspråkiga ålänningar”. It sues i.t. she writes if that tens of thousands child with finnish background goes in swedish schools. So have i.t. been long. I can why always point on me self. But historieundervisningen in they swedish skolorna is under all criticism and under my skolgång can I only recollect that the war 1808-1809 nämndes that in a great hurry. It is either none news that finskan have lay status in Sweden despite the important role Finland and its resident played in Swedens history then 1100-number. All they hundreds of thousands finnish soldier and soldiers that died under they swedish kungarnas banner harbours in skymmundan. All these life is oräknerliga.
Their insatser under 30-åriga the war not least in rytteriet was important. Also if finländarna fought for Sweden far before this war, so was i.t. first now that they fought under own fanor. But the difference between infantry and rider was much big. Infantry tvångsvärvades while rytteriet was entirely voluntarily. Finländarna existed representerade on all slagfälten. When i.t. 30-åriga the war was over had however Finland's population shrunk with 40%. Noteworthy is that Finland often put up with more but than moderlandet Sweden did. Before 1642 put finländarna up with approx 35% of rikets entire truppstyrka while the country not escaped more than 25% of they both rikshalvornas total population. Then continued war after war and finskt blood floated for swedish honour and stormakt. När Man X Gustav tågade over they danish sunden rode Swedes and finn page at page. In the blow at Grove 1676 fought Burghausens finnish dragoner to last man. When Man X:s grandson Man XII stood at Narva commanded he a army that to a tredjedel consisted of finn. In nederlagt at Poltava some year later tillfångatogs or was killed samtilga finnish ryttarformationer. When Man XII steeped at Halden year 1718 and Armfelts karoliner froze to death on i.t. norwegian fjället, had practical taken entire the finnish portion of the a walk so stolta the army upphört that exist. Under entire i.t. Big Nordic The war 1700-1721 lost Finland 40,000 man. A dreadful sacrifice for a otherwise utarmat country.
Under the war 1808-1809 struggled Swedes and finn page at page for last time. Then lost Sweden his siamesiske twin to tsarryssland. It was first now that Finland got a longer period of calm and recovery. But Finland have never under his time that own nation uppträtt that a aggressor or conquerors of other countries and people. Feel i.t. never become so. It is better that cooperate and build hållbara relations that lasts for eternally. The relationship or more correct said i.t. tape that Sweden and Finland have receives not fade away. Me veterligen is i.t. none relationship in entire the rest of the world that resembles our if man think after. The is unique to his history and character. So different we is and yet have so much in common. It is so true that i.t. stands in book ”Sverigefinnar formerly and now” distributed year 1983 of Taisto Jalamo and Reijo Rüster ”Finnarna, finländarna is here for that stay. Also if emigrationen to Sweden would stop entirely under they nearest years, so comes the finnish population in Sweden that increase much fast. It depends on finländarnas young age”.Finland is a young nation but have always been there. After that have read through Wetterstrands article stood i.t. ready for me how current book if sverigefinnarna still is, despite that the gavs out then I in principle still lay in cradle. Already then påtalade the authors they problem that she takes up in his article. To example nekandet of rättigheten to modermålet and the politically sanktionerade insatsen that wipe out finskan in Sweden. ”Utbildningsförhållandena for finländarna in Sweden is bad. It sole finnish lärosätet is Sverigefinnarnas residential college went adult education in Haparanda. Man have either not attached any bigger attention at they important needs that föreligger within hemspråksundervisningen and vuxenutbildningen. So have t.copy. finnish yrkeskursverksamhet anordnats only in experimentsyfte. The lacking on finnish-speaking education must överhuvudtaget considered that sverigefinnarnas most serious problem. The that only bristfälligt controls his mother tongue have also difficult that learn himself swedish (the same thing writes Wetterstand now 26 year later). Up to 35% of they finnish the pupils cancels his studies on foundation of språksvårigheter. Especially difficult is the situation for they pupils within the comprehensive school that moved to sweden in a age of 9-12 year. Many of them becomes entirely without leaving certificate. On all stages within undervisningen försvåras the work of the lacking on competent finnish-speaking personnel. Of they approx 1500 finskspråkiga grundskollärarna the autumn 1979 had only a tredjedel received adequate education for his chore”.
A man I met for not so längde then described relationen between Sweden and Finland that ”a classic love-hate relationship”. It lies mycket in i.t.. For about a year then did the american TV-profilen and komikern Conan O’Brien a pronouncement in TV there he held up a poster with the text ”Sweden sucks!”. He said for further that he and President Tarja Halonen resembles each other much to the appearence. The result became that he got hundreds and once again hundreds with beundrarbrev from Finland that he read up in his own show. But simultaneously provoked he forth a video-war on Youtube that still in skrivandets moment collapses for fully! It is called for Sweden vs. Finland and the number of videos goes not that count, i.t. produceras entire time new. Here is two smakprov.
Under last the week was I also saw previewing of film ”Gomorra”. The is based on book with the same name and shops if the italian Camorran. No kriminellt network have so many life on his conscience. Each day omsätter Camorran hundreds of thousands crowns in narkotikapengar. Weapon- and sexhandel omsätter småsummer compared with the that pipe ”white powder”.
Camorra in all honour. But the is only a part of the italian maffian. We have the well known sicilianska portion Cosa Nostra. But knarkkungen among them all is the Kalabrianska maffian. This is also known under the name ”Ndrangheta” and have his roots and headquarters in bottom of the italian stöveln. Ndrangheta separates himself from went instance Kamorran through that the is entirely family-based to his structure. Of i.t. the name that comes of ”ndrina” that means just ”family”. Man so that say toxins in himself in the Kalabrianska maffian and constitutes ties of blood. This considered decrease the risk for treachery among ”familjemedlemmarna”. Ndrangheta can liknas at a sole big family that consists of many minre families. Exactly how many families – nadrine that is included in the network is oklart. But a new-laid report appreciates the number of to 131. Certain families is mäktigare and more known than remaining. Each family consists of different many members. Man can if man want devote a little thought for they chinese Triaderna or Draknätverken that they also is called. There becomes man initialized through a ceremony under which man drinks blood, his own and others. Then have man formed a ties of blood. Marriage is not necessary.
In i.t. Kalabrianska klanliknande the system controls the each family his own territory. It pipe himself most often if a village or a whole city. Man operererar independently. Activities lead of a capobastone. A group consisting of two or three families constitutes a locale that leds av a contabile that controls the the alliance. It anticipates rivalry and fejder between different families when interests krockar. The alliances forms foremost through marriage and i.t. is just common interests that determines. Highest up in nätverkets hierarchy återfinns La Santa. It is this small chosen group consisting of 33 members, that takes care of if they political kontakterna and enforces relations with affärslivet . Only these chosen santisti receives do i.t.. But they lays himself not in a private family's concerns. With other words is Ndrangheta despite his strictly hierarkiska structure tremendously decentraliserad.
They that takes care of if much of familjernas overall organisation benämns vangelisti.  Thereafter is i.t. directors within certain families that innehar rangen associazione. These receives be with and decide over Ndranghetans strategies in Italy and overseas. Women plays a important role. It is they that can form new alliances or finish a feud through that married himself. They uppfostrar the children in mafia-kulturens morale and takes care of if the business if maken dying or sitting a period in prison.
Ndrangheta consists today of both a place and a global dimension. The later have intagit a increasingly appearance location. It pipe himself if global narkotikahandel. So have i.t. not always been. It cost a part blood within the family for that the would give himself in in the lukrativa the line of trade that also have inneburit near kopplingar with drogkartellerna in Mexico.
Many is ledarna within Ndrangheta that not got die a natural dead surrounded of near and dear. On 1970-number dominerade three mighty bossar Ndrangheta. Antonia Macri, Domencio Tripodo and Girolamo Piromalli. Within this trio would only a die a natural dead. Namely Piromalli that did much for that transform the Kalabrianska maffian from a locally based organization to a transnationell. It is said also that i.t. was he that lay behind bildandet of La Santa. Macri saw to that create strong relations with Cosa Nostra through vilkens contacts. He also succeded ally Ndrangheta with maffian in USA. In middle of 70-number bröjade ledarna discuss plans on that stake on drugstore. Macri was towards this from first beginning. Ndranghetas foremost source of income was blackmail. Oenigheten led to i.t. that vida is felt that i.t. First Ndrangheta-the war under which both Macri and Tripodo was shot to death. After this utsågs new leader and man strided in in droghandeln. Today is Pasquale Condello leader. He considered be the most dominant after i.t. Other Ndrangheta-the war that happened 1983. The reason was att several families happened to in cases out with with each other if different interests.
Sedan its have the gainings bara stretched. Year 2004 uppskattades the total omsättningen to 44 billions dollars. Year 2007 became the 55 billions dollars which is 2,9 percent of Italiens GNP. Droghandeln is nyckeln to the global dimensionen. Ndrangheta have also reputation if himself within they Latin-American kartellerna that be the most reliable. It is not only i.t. that the have filialer over entire the world, without for that the runs less risk that fall victim for informatörer. Furthermore is organisationen not equally sensitive for internal fejder that other. That some families makes a fuss with each other is not entire the world. It is good if other working. That earlier mentioned was blackmail the the foremost inkomstkällan. Today be calculated i.t. however that droghandeln represents over 60% of intäkterna. Utpressningspengarna be calculated to around 6 million dollars annually. Ndrangheta shops also with weapon. But also the inbringar only småsummor compared with knarket. Between 3-4 million by year is nothing.
How is the relationship to Camorran? Eftersom Ndrangheta is mighty within the international droghandeln and is effectively organized, can man work ohotad from Cosa Nostra and Camorran. They two later is not uppbyggda on familjeband and lojaliteten is that see that lömskare.
Today left Anders Björck his mail that highest controller in FRA. He mean that organisationen not comes that work. Which amounts comes not either spaningen that cost and to which use then?
