Tidningen New York Times publicerar i dag en omfattande granskning om Sverige i fokus för en global högerextrem kampanj mot invandring.https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artike...rtikel=7278406
Tidningen uppger bland annat att ungdomar i Rinkeby erbjudits mutor av ryska journalister, för att starta bråk framför kameror, efter att USA:s president Donald Trump för två år sen målade ut Sverige som präglat av våld efter en stor invandring.

Och tidningen New York Times publicerar i dag en lång artikel där den beskriver hur Sverige är fokus för en internationell, invandringskritisk och högerextrem desinformationskampanj, där just den bilden av Sverige är central, med syfte att påverka opinionen i Sverige – men också genom att använda Sverige som skräckexempel för att påverka opinionen i andra länder som nu ser framväxten av högerpopulistiska partier.
Måltavlan för kampanjen är enligt tidningen bland annat invandringskritiska svenskar som är aktiva i frågan på nätet på olika sätt.
Granskningen visar hur utländska aktörer, inklusive stater riktar in sig på den gruppen via svenska högerextrema sajter. Till exempel genom annonser från ett rysk- och ukrainsktägt företag som innehåller dolda länkar till högerextremt innehåll.

Dödspatrullens mordiska sommar: Är kod ”röd” nuhttps://www.expressen.se/nyheter/kri...ar-kod-rod-nu/
”Dödspatrullens” blodiga framfart tvingar polisen att använda koden ”röd” för läget i Rinkeby.
Gänget kan ligga bakom fyra nya mord bara i sommar – dödsskjutningen i Tensta i veckan kopplas ihop med det våldsamma dubbelmordet i Köpenhamn i juni.
– För varje nytt brott uppstår nytt hat och nya konflikter – en ny hämndspiral, säger Frida Nordlöf, tillförordnad chef för polisen i Järva.

De populära rapparna Yasin Byn och Jaffar Byn – båda dömda för vapenbrott – kopplas till ”Shottaz”-sidan av Rinkebykonflikten. Jaffar Byn berättade nyligen i en intervju med Expressen att han sett 18 personer dö unga och varit på ”fler begravningar än födelsedagsfester.”
By the time Mr. Trump zeroed in on Rinkeby, “the government was tackling the problems,” said Amela Mahovic, a local reporter for Swedish public television. When the actual clash broke out soon after, she said, community elders spread the word to local youths: “You need to stop this.”"Christina Anderson" hävdar frankt att Ryssland påverkade det amerikanska presidentvalet 2016 och att det var stor risk att Putin skulle pilla även med det svenska, men som tur är har vi i Sverige vår förträffliga socialdemokrati som oövervinnerlig progressiv grindvakt så här hos oss blev det ingen rysk påverkansoperation. Även Putin förstår när han mött sin överman - Löfven - så här försökte han inte ens. Här i Super-Stefans svetsarland får Putin hålla sig till att mickla med den högerpopulistiska ekokammaren på nätet.Tur.
But soon, they said, they found that outside forces wanted the world to see a different picture.
Guleed Mohamed, then a researcher for public television, said he had spoken to a reporting team from Russia and Ukraine in Rinkeby Square that week and had tried to ask about Russia.
“They changed the subject to how multiculturalism doesn’t work,” he recalled. “And then they quickly connected that to the clash — ‘I want to talk about the riot. Don’t you think this is connected to the influx of migrants?’”
Hani Al Saleh, a Syrian who came to Sweden as a teenager, was working as a guard in Rinkeby. Tall and muscular with a sculpted beard, Mr. Saleh is known as “Amo,” or uncle, by the local youth. He said three young immigrants he knew told him that Russian journalists had tried to bribe them with 400 kronor (about $43) apiece.
“Boys, do you want to do some action in front of the camera?” they said the Russian journalists asked them.
Mr. Saleh later took a Danish journalist to meet two of the young men. After searching online, they recognized the logo of the Russian state-owned news channel NTV, along with the Russians who had made the offer.
The journalist contacted NTV, which denied the whole thing. But besides Mr. Castillo, the night watchman, The Times found other witnesses who backed up Mr. Saleh’s account.
Elvir Kazinic and Mustafa Zatara said they were in the square a couple of days after the clash when they overheard another group of young men talking about Russian journalists and a 400 krona bribe to fight.
“To stoop to that level and offer kids money,” said Mr. Kazinic, a Bosnian émigré who serves on Rinkeby’s district council, “that is low.”
Mr. Zatara, a poet, knows well the consequences of stirring up anti-immigrant racism. His father, Hasan Zatara, a Palestinian, came to Sweden in 1969, earned a high school diploma and opened a convenience store.
Standing behind the cash register on a January afternoon 27 years ago, he became the final victim of John Ausonius, a serial shooter who terrorized immigrant communities, killing one person and wounding 10 others. Hasan Zatara was paralyzed.
Mr. Ausonius later said he was inspired by the anti-immigrant party of the day, New Democracy.
“When my father was shot in 1992, we had New Democracy,” Mustafa Zatara said. “Today we have the Sweden Democrats. Then, they wore bomber jackets and boots. Today, they wear bow ties and suits. It’s normalized now in the Swedish political corridor.”
As the 2018 elections approached, Swedish counterintelligence was on high alert for foreign interference. Russia, the hulking neighbor to the east, was seen as the main threat. After the Kremlin’s meddling in the 2016 American election, Sweden had reason to fear it could be next.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/10/w...ationalism.htm
“Russia’s goal is to weaken Western countries by polarizing the debate,” said Daniel Stenling, the Swedish Security Service’s counterintelligence chief. “For the last five years, we have seen more and more aggressive intelligence work against our nation.”
But as it turned out, there was no hacking and dumping of internal campaign documents, as in the United States. Nor was there an overt effort to swing the election to the Sweden Democrats, perhaps because the party, in keeping with Swedish popular opinion, has become more critical of the Kremlin than some of its far-right European counterparts.
Instead, security officials say, the foreign influence campaign took a different, more subtle form: helping nurture Sweden’s rapidly evolving far-right digital ecosystem.

NYT falsely claims that I “readily admits to being a paid contributor to RT”. I am not and have never been a contributor to RT. I used to work as a photographer and they were clients, just as Swedish TV and news agencies. This unfair misleading smear should be corrected.https://twitter.com/ChangFrick/statu...26825007161348
