Sweden to reintroduce [compulsory] military service
Digital Journal ^ | 28 September 2016

Posted on 09/30/2016 8:43:07 AM PDT by Lorianne

Sweden said Wednesday it would reintroduce compulsory military service from 2018, eight years after it was abolished.

The Scandinavian nation, which has not seen armed conflict on its territory in two centuries, ended conscription in 2010 after it was deemed an unsatisfactory way of meeting the needs of a modern army.

"I hope that we are going to find a path to a more stable, robust and functional means of recruitment," Defence Minister Peter Hultqvist told a news conference.

The new policy will affect Swedes born after 1999, according to a report by a former member of parliament for the defence ministry.

The measure is expected to be adopted by parliament, subject to agreement between the leftist government and the centre right opposition.

Around 4,000 young Swedes, 18-year-olds of both sexes, are expected to be called up each year.

Their national security problem is inside their own borders—they should abolish their military.

Probably young people have figured out the scam and are refusing to volunteer.

“To counter the Russians or the muslim horde?”

My suspicion is that it’s neither.

I’m guessing this is just another socialist government “make work” program to fake a fix to rampant unemployment.

It’s important to give jihadis access to heavy weapons.
It is discrimination not to.

So,... the rebirth of the rebirth of the anti - draft protest movement will begin in Sweden.

I'm surprised. I wonder why.

No, the people in control of their “country” want all the white males tied to a Christian “past” or any Christian traditions, all dead. They are Malthusians and Satanists who control the most media (soon all the internet) and the worldview of all the children.....and they want little boys to have no fathers to bond with, so that they will be emotionally destroyed and emasculated for the NWO— complete dehumanization (totalitarian slave state).

The only worldview which shaped Western Civ. for the past 2000 years which gave rise to Individualism (Natural Rights only from God) which led to the Magna Carta and then, the US Constitution is the most rational religion (because of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas) of ALL TIME-—the historically proven Holy Bible and the necessary connection of Faith and Reason. Only Christianity is a religion based on Non-Constradiction which led to Modern Science-—a way to see the brilliant Design in Nature....the Laws of Nature and nature’s God.

Only a Christian worldview is compatible with the US Constitution—along with Deism. ALL others think the State or man/rabbi can decide Good and Evil—apart from Common Sense and God’s Laws (Rule of Law).

The Malthusians not only want billions killed and not reproducing....they want only tribal, serf/pagan minds, unable to understand abstract philosophy/Theology-—so they remain “happy slaves” of the psychopathic sodomites who are in almost total control of ALL their information, curricula, churches, etc. They want “bots” working for their corporations, people who lie, cheat, are willing to kill others, etc., on command by the psychopaths who control our country/world/Sweden today-—all extremely evil, demonic people. Evil rises to power every time if not rooted out. Why Machiavelli stated Virtue is essential in people, particularly in the Military. But now we allow sodomy and bestiality to be “normalized” among men which will destroy the military-—make it like the homosexual Nazi SS. Modeled after the Man/Boy “love” Spartan’s, it will create inhumane, brutal, dehumanizing, warped, irrational worldview of collectivism-—only ONE way to “think”——and it will be brutal to women and children, since homosexuals are narcissists always—totally warped with no great virtue, except in warfare (killing). They use their bodies in sick, filthy ways and call it “love” and “good” when it is evil, warped and irrational at best.

It has all been planned and executed for the last 200 years and with almost total control of most information centers by the Fabian Socialists, Hollywood (sodomites), publishing centers, newspapers and esp. SKOOLS, they have been able to brainwash and destroy the virtue formation of most children so they are just useful idiots now.

People fear man, not God. They fear losing their jobs (with good reason), speaking up against POWER. They can’t understand anything profound (like a Snowdon can). People who do have a brain like Snowdon, end up like Scalia-—mocked, exiled, and destroyed by MSM, or killed, because they have to control the “narrative” for the sheeple. MSM has to create division (wars), lies, ban the Truth, for their destruction of civilization, the Hegelian Dialectic, to gain totalitarian control of ALL private property-—be able to destroy all people who disagree with being a Slave of the State—even bakers and photographers and esp. journalists and scientists and doctors (Wakefield).

The Cultural Marxists who destroyed Europe by the mid-50s, came over to America in the 30s to march through ALL our institutions and they got total control of our money system by 1913, and most important news outlets (APs) and control over the CIA so they had all the money they wanted to fund evil movements,control/bribe judges, to destroy the Natural Family which always will corrupt and warp the minds of children and make virtue formation almost impossible.

Without Virtue formation in children, there can be no Freedom. Vice makes slaves for the State. (Aristotle). Cultural Marxists knew to hyper-sexualize children by movies/TV/porn and teaching Up is Down to 5 year-olds would easily destroy Right Reason, create dependency and “order” takers, and corrupt their sexual identity formation for life to fixate them in puerile, emotional part of the brain for life.

We need to Wake Up-—Sweden is almost totally emasculized and Reason totally destroyed. They gave “sex boxes” to little 3 and 4 year olds years ago and warped their sexual identities so they could not have a rational thought in their heads, fixated in the Limbic area of the brain, to make boys more interested in sexual perversion than reproduction, orgies instead of Fatherhood. Truth is “cognitive dissonance” to Swedes now since Truth (God) was removed by the 60s in that country-—all their Traditions, culture “tosses” for mulitculturalism_—no culture, no identity..

"The US needs it if only to turn all those whiny babies into real men."

Why would you think the libs would permit anything positive to come out of a draft? Military personnel would get constant tranny sensitivity training between meals-on-wheels operations to socialist crap holes like Venezuela.

Perfect term for problems we’re seeing in society:

“Without Virtue formation in children”

Are there additional qualifiers that can be added to identify the overall types of virtues we should be instilling in our children?

Marxists worship state authority, Muslims worship Allah’s violent oppressive authority.
Redeeming godly virtues?

Thoughts on this?

What in tarnation are you talking about???
The bedrock of Western Civilization was Greece and Rome, from the 7th century BC to the 5th century AD; not Christianity!
* Magna Carta was a power sharing agreement between an English King and the Nobility.
* Thomas Malthus was an economist.
* The Athenians, some 500 years BC, internalized intelligent design in Nature. Moderns had nothing to do w/it.
Lord have Mercy!

Will Swedish muzzies also be conscripted? Potential of a major bloodbath.

Good post.
Perhaps it is not too late for Sweden to wake up?
I hope so.

At present they are of no use to anyone, not even themselves.

Yes and Western, mostly Christian, culture built on that.
History is a continuum. The Magna Carta was built upon over time and led, slowly, to more universal rights, as did our Constitution did, eventually, lead to more universal rights (it didn’t at first).

In general we in the West have built on the wisdom and thinking of the Ancients, but we have had periods of backsliding. And of course it could turn and go completely the opposite way at any time. Christianity may prevent that from happening, or at least slow it down.

Fair response.
Indeed the Scholastics preserved and expanded the wisdom of the Ancients.
