Olof Palme

[Peter Lemkin]

United States recalled its Ambassador to Sweden in February 1968 in protest to Palme (then Minister of Education) participating in a demonstration in Stockholm against the war in Vietnam. In 1972 relations between Sweden and the United States were frozen for over a year after a speech by Palme (PM) comparing the US bombings of Hanoi to other atrocities such as the bombing of Guernica and extermination of Jews at Treblinka. The U.S government called this a “gross insult”. Asked about Palme, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once answered that he usually disliked the people he agreed with and liked the people he disagreed with, adding dryly: “So Palme, I liked – a lot”. Olof Palme is also remembered for his engagement in liberation of oppressed people in third world countries (South Africa, Nicaragua, Palestine, El Salvador etc.) and his harsh criticism of the Franco Regime in Spain, apartheid in South Africa. One of his most memorable visits was with the Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Palme may have been a genuine thorn in Their side. In which case, plenty have motive for wanting rid.

The list above is a pretty good summary IMO of why he was X'd. Of course it had to be made to look false-flag and lone-nut. As to the when a 'last straw', hard to say with precision, but he was long in the 'sites' of a gun! Well before Iran-Contra was public in any way Palme learned about Bofors [Swedish arms manufacturer] supplying a shadowy network with very sophisticated arms and was about to go public with it - he never got the opportunity. I'll try to locate the article [in Danish] by Henrik Kruger on Palme, a very good Danish Deep Political researcher [he wrote a book called The Great Heroin Coup; Drugs, Intelligence, & International Fascism, in English]. I once did a translation of his article, but is on a crashed hard drive. The style of the cover-up followed the pattern we know well from Dallas, Memphis and Los Angeles et al. A group of ultra-right police intelligence officers in the Norrmalm area of Stockholm played a role in the events and in the cover-up, IMO. The same general group may also have had some overlap with the stabbing of Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh in Stockholm. Sept. 11, 2003. Not known to many is that while officially 'neutral' during WW2, there were large and important sectors of the Swedish elites that favored the Axis Powers, and helped arm and supply them. :flute:
