The big tax account theft August 9, 2025

There is nothing better than finding a charitable purpose to trick people out of their money.

The 90-accounts are being scrutinized intermittently, and it is rare that less than 60% stays within the organizations, and more often than not, the managers have salaries that you and I can only dream of. The collections always feature undernourished children in the pictures, but in extreme cases, only 10% goes to the cause, and the rest ends up in the well-fed pockets of swindlers who eat better than you, and definitely better than the undernourished children in the pictures.

Now you are starting to pick up speed, but don’t worry – I won’t attack aid today, but rather give a broadside to all sides of politics that engage in moving taxpayer money to themselves and their cronies, and advocate for everyone who pays taxes in Sweden and foots the whole bill – not least my neighbors who stand at the supermarket and ponder for a very long time at the meat counter on Fridays before making ends meet financially.

This will be a long journey into the fraud and theft I remember –

First, there was the privatization of public housing where every politician with a bit of self-respect, regardless of party affiliation, got a nice apartment in central Stockholm for what, 35-45% of the market price. Laila Freivalds’ classic interview where she slammed the door shut and was far from ministerial-like, surely no one forgets that.

Then came Skandia, if I remember correctly, where an elderly relative received a letter promising that none of those who had money in the company would be affected by the theft – then he received the absolute minimum amount they could get away with, strictly according to the rules, only that as an investment, it was worthless – it had not grown by 0% in ten years or something, and the reason was of course that the management had emptied the company of billions. I don’t think they were prosecuted for anything either after a couple of rounds in court that cost us taxpayers a lot of millions.

I’m not ancient, but I started to notice the money rolling when all the agency directors in the 90s were not allowed to take out whatever salaries they wanted, so the pension agreements became 30 million kronor instead. At that time, they were Social Democratic-affiliated agency directors, and it was something you couldn’t touch because the Don Corleones did as they pleased, they resigned but got to keep the agreements.

The right-wing, doing their hit-jobs for the business sector, have a modus operandi of not caring. They go out and promise to do better and accelerate.

The first time I seriously had high blood pressure was with the privatizations in Stockholm; I must have heard Sten(?) Nordin twenty times over two terms say, “we have been naive and sold too cheap, we promise to do better and sell at market price” – for 8 years, they kept shoveling out our common assets at a 90% discounted price.

Not just anyone could buy – the nurses at Serafen wanted to buy, but only the doctors were exclusively selected to buy Serafen’s healthcare center for 700,000 SEK or whatever it was, which was then sold for 22 million SEK after two years.

Huge assets were sold for a fraction of the market value to those with the right connections (Moderates), who then in turn sold to the conglomerates that have now sprung up like mushrooms and made huge profits.

And the politicians who facilitated this then got well-paid jobs in these conglomerates when they finished with politics.

A little side note, after that, the Moderates also tried to deregulate the rental and housing market because those who had now sold and made money naturally wanted to become our time’s new slumlords, but that’s beyond today’s topic.

I remember that when the Social Democrats took over after the Moderates, a motion was introduced by the Social Democrats to review everything five years back and reassess the purchase price if the businesses were sold for much more than what was paid – it was voted down. Somewhere there, I understood that everyone was in on the fraud regardless of party affiliation 😀

To the left of the center, they operate like the 90-accounts, they come up with something charitable, and then if you try to point out mismanagement and corruption, you are labeled as anti-children, climate denier, Nazi, or in some other way a really bad person; “far-right extremist” is a popular term that during my upbringing meant skinhead but apparently not anymore.

For a long time, one risked losing their job, and many researchers made the mistake of believing that the truth was not subjective and “you are entitled to your opinion” without being able to demonstrate in data what was right or wrong – they had their research grants revoked, their reputation shattered, or were simply fired when the cancel culture started.

“everyone knows what is right but also knows which opinion one must have to keep their job” – many doctors and researchers have said in frustration. The right opinion was more important than probable truth based on competent research, plain and simple.

Now the business sector has realized that green technology and eco-friendly-everything mean big money, so in 2025, it’s practically impossible to even discuss it because you’ll be attacked from all sides.

The unaccompanied minors were probably one of the more ingenious frauds – at one point, I realized how much those involved in the fraud made by renting out rooms to underage children; there was a woman who, with the help of her Afghan boyfriend, murdered her husband and had run an HVB home for less than a year, I think it was 8 months.

(Today we know that 90% lied about their age, but those who tried to expose it then lost their jobs).

The woman had 3 million SEK in pre-taxed profit, and together with a social worker, that’s 6 million SEK in total profit over 8 months for the company.

Right contact – find a social worker – find a house – throw in 30 beds – get in 30 middle-aged men who said they were under 18 years old – become financially independent in a couple of years, all thanks to taxpayer money, and budget discipline didn’t apply because it was a crisis.

The fact that the crisis was completely fabricated could not be questioned, even though the signs were quite numerous and clear.

Or our friend, the Social Democrat, who became financially independent through a similar business and now drives a Rolls Royce and has a yacht that we who paid for everything can only dream of.

70,000 SEK per month for a studio apartment, if everything was done right, one could bill the Migration Board or the National Board of Health and Welfare, who in panic were looking for accommodations to avoid breaking the current legislation (which didn’t really apply but don’t ruin a good crisis) – all paid with taxpayer money, yours and mine that we dutifully pay every month.

A few years later, the government launched the proposal “have a refugee stay with you” for citizens, and then you could only receive 12,000 SEK in total for food and lodging, so there you have what it would have cost.

Or all the different grants from the employment office, or the association grants, the money rolling at the Social Insurance Agency, and this has been widely discussed in the media, but I want to share something that is based on personal experience –

I just returned to Sweden around 2012 and helped some newly arrived immigrants find jobs – NO ONE would give you a job if your salary wasn’t paid by the employment office, they crashed the entire market for simpler jobs.

The workers became commodities where as soon as the benefits stopped coming, they would say that the person had stolen something in order to then bring in a new person whose salary was paid by the employment office.

Like the slave trade we all despise, but now it was considered good. Imagine the feeling of doing a great job, feeling appreciated, having hope for the future, and then after six months the boss comes and is incredibly ashamed but awkwardly states that you must have stolen something and are fired.

You then go very upset and sad to the Employment Office with me, and they give you the cold shoulder and are very judgmental, but also understanding that as a newcomer, you may not yet know how things work in Sweden, so there will be no police report.

Everyone went crazy over this obvious fraud that everyone played along with 😡😡😡

End of personal experience.

The association grants where smart entrepreneurs started 300 associations that received hundreds of thousands each, and they too became financially independent, and no one cared that it was the same people behind all the associations.

The Social Insurance Agency, which found it easier to cover unreasonable living expenses than to fight with a family and be accused of institutionalized racism. There are examples where individuals come with receipts that clearly are not theirs, like the fifth expensive stroller in six months, and when the social worker goes to their boss, the answer is to pay.

Those who, like me, dealt with embassy corruption below probably quickly realized that right was wrong, one can guess.

Now I went off on a tangent again.

When it was Maud Olofsson’s time at the treasury, I was old enough to have a good grasp, I think I was at university and could now count reasonably well.

The officials said no to Nuon, Maud approved Vattenfall’s purchase, and today the write-down is probably exactly what the officials said about the overpricing was 😀

I knew about German coal power at the time, that there were 3-4 years left until carbon dioxide taxes and that it would become unprofitable – I had figured that out, so had everyone else.

The investment was then sold for 200 million SEK to some Czech or Slovak, and the price tag was many billions, 15?

And nuclear power – it’s hard to understand what the business idea was there at all, Germany closed its nuclear power plants and Vattenfall bought them – did they buy a decommissioning cost?

In any case, also written off with enormous losses, I think it was written down to zero.

Vattenfall promised that customers would not be harmed, which they weren’t in Europe, but in Sweden they introduced all sorts of fees so we ended up with significantly more expensive electricity bills where the electricity fee was higher than the electricity cost for many months.

Never again, everyone thundered, “we promise that this was the last time we do this” ✊

By the way, I know firsthand how aid was embezzled in Angola because I was there just as it began to wind down. Sweden did it completely wrong as well – lots of aid for many years, we were the largest aid donor, and then when the country started to recover, all 600 people who had worked on it disappeared, and a few years later Swedish companies came in and found all doors closed to them, but that’s another discussion.

Sweden built an enormous maternity clinic where the Swedish-trained doctors instead worked in their own clinics, using the materials we sent to their own clinics, and charging exorbitant fees for everything at their own clinics.

The maternity clinic that Sweden paid for was a death trap, and no one dared to go there – the worst doctors who were intoxicated on duty and with no materials, so women bled to death and newborns died.

There was also a huge apartment complex where Swedish aid workers had lived, which we had built, where all the apartments had been allocated to the elite, and a “Sweden village” which was the area with more greenery interspersed, same thing there – the elite’s children took over.

In Angola, everything involves corruption in one way or another, and of course you have to give away free money, no one objects to that, but it is highly unlikely that that money then goes to those in need.

I met someone who did the reporting for SIDA – the old-school straight shooter who didn’t cover anything up, I ran into her a lot as she showed up everywhere and was really fun to talk to over a few beers. The fact that her reports didn’t make the front pages of Dagens Nyheter can only be because SIDA kept a lid on it because they were absolutely devastating, and she didn’t leave anything out, especially not after a few beers.

Angola’s government tried their own program where they were going to build new residential areas and pay those whose houses were demolished or who got a new house in a new location – no one got paid, and those who got a house now lived five hours away in the jungle and fought crocodiles. It was a scandal that shook the country when I was there, and the enormous budget was of course depleted.

Then they had their own home ownership program where they sold plots, building materials, and infrastructure, which was hugely popular, and when everyone had paid, 50% of the materials were dumped on the plot, no water and sanitation facilities or roads were built, and the money and those responsible disappeared.

Their central bank was also looted by employees around 2010, I believe, but many were arrested when it was discovered in time.

The president and his corruption are another story, but you may remember my previous posts where he, together with the Chinese, siphoned off most of the oil revenues for many years?

His son became the head of the national oil fund, and his daughter got all the major national construction projects and large housing projects, so they bribed their way into most things.

So, we can assume that the aid was stolen, and if it wasn’t reported up the chain so it was stopped due to acute corruption, I guess there is a high risk that those distributing the money from our aid on-site received money back to accounts outside of Sweden and in return wrote favorable reports.

I guess this after a little scary experience below –

In Angola, the Swedish embassy was constantly closed, so the Norwegian one handled the visas. Local staff sold visas for 1000 USD, and if you didn’t pay, you didn’t get a visa, rejection.

Being Swedish, I raised this with the secretary, the consul, and finally the Swedish Migration Agency (because I didn’t know), as well as the Ministry for Foreign Affairs – no one cared, and I was almost blacklisted. It was actually the Norwegian secretary who went so hard against me and reported upwards in his organization that I still consider it likely that he received a percentage on sold visas.

This was well after 2006, and I hadn’t yet learned how things worked, deeply ingrained in what we had learned in Sweden, but to be met with total disinterest from, for example, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs was actually an awakening when it could be proven that visas were being sold at their mission.

The truce finally ended up with me getting the visas I wanted in exchange for my silence, and the local employee was equally furious every time we applied for visas but had to keep a good face, and we got everything quickly on the same day – the secretary came running, glared at me, stamped everything without checking, and turned and disappeared without a word.

From what I have seen, it is true what is usually said, “aid is taking from the poor in rich countries and giving to the rich in poor countries,” even though it is a very rough generalization and surely works very well in other countries.

Back to predatory capitalism –

The privatized profits and socialized losses that the banks operate with, I have forgotten, but that’s how it works for them – in good times, they make huge profits on high risk, and when it crashes, taxpayers have to foot the bill in a cycle that makes them not really care about risk at all, just their bonuses.

I believe that after 2008, it was only Iceland that let the banks take the full hit, and economically, that country has been doing very well since then.

And now we have the green deception – first, shut down fully functional electricity production that could have been operated until 2035 with zero investments.

It wasn’t easy – they had to fire the CEO, rearrange the boards, introduce fees, security requirements, and higher taxes, but in the end, the parliament voted for the shutdown.

The result was soaring electricity prices, and then everyone denies that it was due to the shutdown of nuclear power, and the Green Party says it was all market forces, even though there is video evidence of them boasting about how they forced the decision like the worst environmental Don Corleones.

Then Vattenfall’s officials leaked the report where they criticized the shutdown.

Now we have about 30-40 billion in shutdown costs to cover as well – the companies are laughing all the way to the bank.

The wind and solar power lobby were overjoyed, and lots of Green Party members got nice private jobs as thanks – you can google for yourself who you remember from the debate and where they work today.

No difference from the Moderates, just that they get jobs in different sectors – the same societal parasites and leeches, just that they are green instead of blue, slithering around looking for victims.

Wind power is not profitable, but that’s another story – the whole business idea is wrong, but they got what they asked for, even though now the state is starting to consider whether landowners should be responsible for cleaning up the land.

Which means dismantling wind turbines on your land and you have to pay for it yourself. It will GUARANTEED end with the state picking up the tab – that’s you and me, but it’s fairer than letting those who just rented out the land get paid. Bankrupt wind power companies that are corporations will rain down on us in the coming years – mark my words.

Northvolt – do you hear anything about it today at all, Sweden’s biggest bankruptcy and our pension funds invested even though they weren’t supposed to.

I hear nothing except that it has now been sold for presumably pennies.

Stegra is soon going bankrupt.

Where are the media’s angry wolves when they should be on the prowl – a real predatory capitalist company drain painted in green.

Is it Harald Mix, I think that’s his name, who has washed billions to earn millions and no one even reflects on the fact that the pioneering country Sweden couldn’t even build a single battery for 500 million SEK a month for four years.

If we had bought batteries for the entire amount and sold them in Europe at bazaars, we would have at least made money.

Shame on anyone who gives up – our new government to the right of center is now concocting a plan to invest 400 billion SEK in new nuclear power (will triple during the projects) and I think it has been approved.

Smart things like SMR nuclear power and small-scale hydropower are actively opposed.

In Angola when I arrived, oil companies could rent houses for 400,000 SEK per month. Perfect, I thought, found a house and would get rich in a year. I quickly learned that you also needed the right contacts and that your price was 12,000 SEK per month as a contactless person.

This was discovered by those without contacts in Sweden who tried to cut gold with a knife in all the above setups – you must have the contacts or quickly build them up through bribes to the right people.

-Mp3 Jens is exposing corruption in the municipalities – absolutely unbelievable.

-The Waste Ombudsman works for the business community but is not wrong, and he exposes that too.

-The Social Insurance Agency and the Employment Service’s huge money rolling has actually come to light through the media.

-The various deceptions of the state are always exposed by the opposition.

Consistently, absolutely nothing happens – at worst, you get a slap on the hand with a ruler but get to keep everything you’ve stolen.

Practically risk-free, therefore, but apparently, it’s also common theft nowadays when only 6% is solved.

The conclusion is that municipalities, state, authorities, the business community, and many others spend a lot of time finding various ways to reach the tax accounts and steal our money.

Then the left of center has the audacity to come up with many reasons why we are bad people if we try to protest against these fraudulent schemes.

The right of center doesn’t even care, they just promise to do better and carry on – if someone were to be fired, they would probably get a well-paid retreat position.

Which leads me to the point that we should actually tear up the entire tax collection, sit down and agree on what we can levy taxes for – how much it costs, and then only tax for that, with changes requiring a double majority in parliament (or whatever it’s called).

The rest we get to keep and do as we please with, for example, banks should stop questioning what happens in the account, but they are welcome to verify that the incoming funds are legitimate.

“he wants to cut aid” someone shouts immediately so loudly that the eardrums vibrate – no, but maybe we should scrutinize a year’s worth of aid and see how much actually went to those in need when all intermediaries got their share and when all those who made up nonsense to get aid stole their share.

ForumCIV is the epitome of “fat-cats,” for example, an intermediary where the boss has a monthly salary of 70,000 SEK – a salary that we, who created the value she lives off, do not have.

How much actually went to starving people in developing countries in the end, which is what we believe aid is for – we don’t know because SIDA is extremely bad at reporting on that.

I remember that Serbia’s police force was supposed to learn about equality for 100 million SEK – do you think they became better police officers or were the money embezzled and some Serbian minister bought a yacht and a new wife?

Let’s say there are now 10 billion SEK left, for example (I don’t know) – then you have a small streamlined organization that will distribute the funds and report everything?

You might be screaming a little now, but don’t forget that this is exactly the amount that SIDA considers today that the starving children should have because nothing is being done about the money rolling or how 🧐

Do you all have an iPhone 15?

The employees of the Stockholm municipality do, paid with taxpayer money.

Do you all have an office in central Stockholm – the municipality’s employees do.

And so on endlessly – if I as a taxpayer can’t afford this, why should those who live off my taxes be allowed to have it?

Why do our elected officials fly business class, get paid for their apartment in Stockholm, take taxis everywhere, and give themselves higher salary increases than the citizens when we don’t get it because we pay the taxes they need to live this luxurious life.

I’m happy to pay taxes, but when a not insignificant part of that tax goes to other things, I think one should reconsider.

“We have too high salaries in Sweden to be able to have manufacturing here”

VS.

We have almost the lowest salaries in the entire Western world after tax and the highest debts 😀

Why does an American jeep cost just under a million when you can buy them for 220,000 SEK in the Caribbean?

Said at the beginning – “wow, what expensive cars are parked here”.

“What do you mean – those are dirt cheap”.

Yes, the state takes taxes, fees, VAT, sales tax, environmental taxes, large vehicle penalties, and all sorts of other things.

There is nothing more permanent than a temporary tax voted by Congress, as Reagan said (slightly altered).

The congestion tax in Stockholm – “should be a small symbolic amount and all proceeds go back to public transportation”.

2025 – a few thousand per month and very little goes to public transportation.

They have even introduced parking fees in my mother’s residential area in Bromma where everyone has only parked on the street since I was born in that area and there has never been the slightest problem.

First, parking fees were introduced, then the City was reported, and the court slapped them on the wrist – they were not allowed to introduce it. Then it was introduced anyway – the city ignored the judgment and there were no consequences for ignoring it either.

Or my attempt to buy a large plot, join forces with a few people, and build a couple of semi-detached houses so we could live without a large mortgage.

The City sells plots to the big players like NCC, for example.

The City plans too little so that prices will go up, and if you try to build on unzoned land, it’s smaller vacation homes that apply.

The price for a plot is sky-high, and a larger one cannot be bought.

NCC sells the job to a construction company but takes 30%.

The construction company outsources the job to smaller builders and takes 30%.

Smaller builders do the job but bring in foreign labor for all the work through staffing agencies.

Voila.

As long as we have seventeen layers of leeches draining the treasury without contributing anything, we citizens will not be particularly well off.

Like when finance in the US in the 80s moved away from lending money for physical projects and bonds were the most boring thing (do you remember the bond lottery) to starting to make money on money without adding anything to the economy.

You, me, and all my neighbors in my small community who go to work every day and perform a job for a salary where we create value should be the ones who are best off in the whole country, right?

We should be at the top of the pyramid?

We, the taxpaying class, should logically be better off than everyone else who lives off the money we create – banks, politicians, municipal and state employees?

We don’t have that because over time we have let ourselves be robbed of all the money by unscrupulous individuals who instead of going to work and creating something for a salary/compensation have found ways to steal other people’s money and live a good life.

If you vote Social Democrats, Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Left Party, Liberals, Christian Democrats, or Greens, you should read the above and think – yes, Johan No.1 is absolutely right.

If you don’t think so, you probably have a tax-subsidized salary but don’t feel that you should be grateful to my hard-working neighbors who have created that money for you, or you don’t quite understand that “saving the environment” actually means “stealing your money”, just that it’s left of center instead of the Moderates who are stealing everything this time.

I think I’ve covered most of it, and I think I’ve shown that everyone behaves equally badly, but I expect opposition when you’ve fallen for something commendable that blinds you to “yes, I agree with that but not that” 😀

Make me president and you’ll get more money – I promise not to be like Bukele who just changed the constitution to allow him to sit for life ✊
