Hi Louis,
The false-flag operation/exercise seems to be over now. A thoroughly
planned and well executed propaganda operation in order to feed the ever
hungrier Swedish military-media-industrial-complex. As well as a fine
way to introduce the brand new stealthy cool of HMS Visby.
For some reason all photos of (obviously Russian) submarines are blurry.

[Sorry, quick duck-go-search, but the headline sums up the mission
objective pretty good: "A Mysterious Submarine Is Lurking in Sweden, and
Fingers Point to Russia"]
My feeling is that this has been planned for a long time. This is the
answer of the Swedish military–industrial–media complex to the threats
of a Social Democratically lead government. Not that they fear that the
Social Democrats in any way would oppose the awesome job-creating sector
know as MIMAK (former prime minister Göran Persson(S) is the chief
lobbyist of big Gun), but the possible inclusion of the Left Party in
the government was troubling.
Everybody in Sweden, including the leader of the Left Party Jonas
Sjöstedt [a fellow comrade of mine, but even back then destined to take
up the mantle of the old-school social democracy] was sure that the Left
Party [formerly The Left Party the Communists/Communist Youth] would be
part of the new government. Jonas Sjöstedt and the Left Party took many
steps to the right in order to prove their allegiance to the system and
thereby ensuring a spot in the new government.
To the shock of almost everybody [me included] it was announced the day
after the election by (S) that the Left Party would NOT be included in
the new government. Jonas Sjöstedt must have felt mighty betrayed.
Anyway, the Swedish MIMAK feared that the notorious crypto-communists in
the Left Party would be both in the government, as well as, for the
first time ever, in the [not sure how to translate this] foreign affairs
committee; i.e. the communists would be able to influence matters of
national security. Above all, they might want to limit the large weapons
industry that is nowadays, much like the US, the backbone of the Swedish
economy.
The timing was perfect. When to strike? When you'll encounter the least
opposition and can push your agenda to the max. When the government is
new, weak and unlikely to intervene. And even though Göran Persson
(former prime minister (S)) is the leading lobbyist for the MIMAK, even
the most modest inclination towards peace by liberals(US) or social
democrats(EU) is a challenge. The Military felt compelled to assert its
power and put pressure on the new government to increase military
spending in the new budget.
[Didn't operation Cast Lead happen just after Obama was elected?]
Neither the right wing alliance nor the "left" wing (including the Left
Party) received a majority of the votes in the election since the
neofascist Sverigedemokraterna got 13%. It's still unclear if the newly
formed SD-MP(Miljöpartiet-the (center) Green Party) can get their new
budget through. It might it be blocked by Sverigedemokraterna, and if
so, there could be a new election.
I tweeted a while ago about the Russian scare in Swedish media. The
weird thing is that all media, including the social democratic
Aftonbladet present it this way:

In all frankness: I'm fucking terrified. No one here seems to gives a
damn. "So what if they couldn't catch the sub, we still need to
strengthen our defense."
