Guest Post by Kit Knightly
The Scandinavian country has been a touchstone for lockdown skeptics, but this U-turn shows us the danger of accepting any part of the narrative.
The Swedish Public Health Agency (PHA) has announced that, starting next month, gatherings of more than 100 people will require “Covid passes” showing vaccination status.
Unlike similar schemes in other countries, a negative test will not be accepted as a substitute – either you’re vaccinated, or you can’t enter the venue.
There’s no talk yet of including restaurants, bars or cafes in this…but it is still early.
The PHA published a press release yesterday, detailing the plans. Quoted in The Local, Sweden’s culture minister Amanda Lind said:
Being able to use vaccination certificates is something the government has been preparing for a long time. You have previously heard me talk about vaccination certificates as a “plan B”. Now that situation is here,”
The vaccination pass comes on the heels of announcing the re-introduction of other “anti-COVID” measures, including limitations on mass indoor gatherings. The pass is being described as a way to get around these restrictions by “guaranteeing that participants are vaccinated”.
…and so Sweden falls.
From the beginning of the “pandemic” Sweden has been almost an outlier. Their refusal to lockdown was held up as an example of irresponsible laissez-faire libertarianism in the mainstream press, but made it an important touchstone for lockdown sceptics who viewed it as a bastion of common sense.
It turns out neither is true.
While Germany, Austria, New Zealand, Canada (and others) have gone full fascist brutally suddenly, Sweden is taking the scenic route. Rather than refusing to comply with the narrative, Sweden is simply using a looser net to catch the stragglers.
Those championing Sweden’s approach to Covid have just been caught in a supranational game of “good cop, bad cop”.
It shouldn’t really come as a surprise, the warning signs were all there.
For starters, the sheer amount of coverage given to the “Swedish approach” should have tipped people off.
Let’s take a moment to remind ourselves that the countries that have really rejected the Covid narrative in its entirety – such as Belarus – are never in the news.
In fact the governments that genuinely refused to play ball all had colour revolutions (or attempted ones at least), or saw their presidents die of sudden heart attacks.
Sweden suffered no such bad luck. Because it was playing its part.
For over a year and a half, Sweden has been portrayed as the calm voice in a room of panicking hysterics. They ‘refused’ to lockdown, and their “covid deaths” never reached the disastrous predictions of the modellers, whilst their economy suffered markedly less than the rest of Europe.
Playing that level-headed role has bought them credibility in Lockdown-sceptic circles, which can now be parlayed into an argument for vaccine passes: “Oh you hate vaccine passports? Well you love Sweden and they have them there!”
It’s all about manipulation – getting the doubters to concede to your narratives bit by bit without realizing they are doing so.
By supporting Sweden’s no lockdown approach, because it seems relatively sane, you concede, without fully realizing it, that there is a pandemic, and it does require some kind of intervention.
The same can be said for the “alternate therapies” and “pre-existing immunity” arguments.
Although both seem to have scientific evidence supporting them, the argument is built on a priori assumptions which concede the basic reality of the pandemic narrative.
And you will never win if you play by those rules. This is their pandemic and they can reinvent it in any way they choose.
Think promoting ivermectin is a good way of opposing the vaxx without alienating the believers? No!
You have to follow rules. They don’t. They can just invent a new “variant” out of wholecloth. One that is “resistant to ivermectin”.
And then what do you do?
It’s a simple and important lesson, hopefully, forced home by now:
Don’t part-accept irrationality in an effort to be reasonable. Don’t try and meet insanity in the middle. Deal only in what you can research and observe yourself.
Don’t attempt to compromise with the establishment, because they will never compromise back. There is no middle way.
Never, EVER, accept part of their narrative on trust.
Sweden should teach us never to pick sides in the Covid game, because it’s all rigged and the only way to win is not to play.

Sweden has also been on the forefront of abandoning cash. All part of the plan, I am sure.
Your daily reminder that ALL countries are in on it, especially the ones that pretend they’re not.
Like North Korea and Venezuela, they’re also in on it?
I think he means all countries that currently matter. They’ll mop up the stragglers later.
Remember, Sweden is a socialist to the max country. Secular God ignoring country with no morals or Christian evidences.
4 actually and its pronouns are we/us
We’re gonna need a thicker rope…..
surprised she isn’t the minister of Health
That’s funny. I have just what you need…
We got it covered.
Believe it or not, she’s actually married to a man. A man married that.
People sometimes make errors in judgement.
Oink oink!
Fat and unhealthy, both physically and mentally.
This may be a godsend. I have some relatives I wouldn’t mind never seeing again.
SS uniforms will be hot in Oz next year, might as well dress the part. At least wear a armband with a swastika to the Thanksgiving dinner and greet every relative with, “show me your papers”! Might as well go ALL IN.
did I miss something? did sweden give an explanation for going all draconian?
I do like the article’s admonition to avoid compromise by arguing facts, figures, alternatives, etc. There really is only one proper answer to defend the decision: It’s my body and -all- human sovereignty associated with it belongs to me. Fuck you, I don’t care if the world IS burning down.
Well the writer did miss that Denmark had done an about face already, recently.
What – you expect reason? The reason is that worriers are worrying. Neurotics are neurotting.
Yeah, I know people who are trying to work within the system to subvert it and others who are trying to get fake passports etc. Forget all that! Tell them to take a hike off a short pier. Resistance to the bitter end. If it becomes violent, so be it.
Tyranny can take many disguises to gain entry.
I see precious few attempts to disguise anything. just sayin
Is that sad news. They finally paid off the right people in Sweden. But there are no limits to the level Global Cabalists will sink to.
Yep, the world is a big place. It still takes time to identify those in the right positions to work toward the RESET. And then there’s that pesky price discovery process–some just roll over and sell themselves cheap; others hold out for more.
Indeed. I knew all was lost here when even those opposing the cult were talking about “cases” and “asymptomatic spread” as they negotiated for some lesser version of tyranny and subjugation.
Accepting any part of the lie is to merely delay and/or redirect the lie elsewhere. Once again, anyone on “the right” who wants to avoid any personal risk or responsibility in pursuing and serving Truth is not only bound to fail in this vein posture of resistance, but is also helping to gatekeep the lie further into our lives by providing legitimacy to its premise. Stop accepting their framing.
Same goes for these “the vaccine is safe and effective and I think you should take the vaccine but I do not think it should be mandated” pussies. Stunning and brave.
Our public health crises is that we suffer a massive shortage of Courage.
I get flack from people ( who agree with me) for doing the (relatively) few things I do to ‘not comply’.
If you’re still wearing a mask, not speaking up, think again. I hear all of the time: it won’t do any good.
I’ve yet to make the full decision to not frequent chain stores who require masks for their employees etc. However I just did my thanksgiving grocery shopping at the little local store because they NEVER required a mask. I hate being a hypocrite and I hate the store’s actions that make it possible. I’m pretty much done with the ‘insouciant’, including myself.
Watch this, then the next one- Raw.
I wonder if Florida and Texas are ployers also. Yes, I made that word up.
Nice wordsmithing GNL… I don’t trust our governor. Believe he’s bought and paid for. Won’t hesitate to lock down again if instructed.
That said, currently things are good in Texas. I do see an uptick in mask wearing which is unfortunate. Approximately a 75/25 split between non-wearers and wearers here in Collin county. This is purely my own observation.
It’s not the “evil government” that surprises me, of course government is evil; it’s the numbers of people that fall in line that’s the frightening thing and mask wearing is an indicator. If another “event” should occur, those numbers will very likely quickly change.
You are fortunate you are in the conservative outskirts of town. Go a little south to the south end of your county and see it 90% wearers.
I am in southeast Denton…
Ugh… ☹️ That’s discouraging
I still occasionally watch WFAA (Roku) and I’m shocked at just how much change in the political tenor has occurred since we left Dec2013. The local gov’t and ISDs are little different than Austin or Kali/NY et. al. Thankfully we no longer have to pay the astronomical property taxes for the privilege of living in Parker Cnty, Texas.
Wife and I have been to 6 doctors visits last 3 weeks. We were the only ones there without a mask. WE received lots of strange looks but were served by the personnel without comment. Resist!!!!
I will resist to the end.
Sweden, or rather the Swedish franchise was always on board. Perhaps they didn’t impose the “softening up” measures as a control in the social experiment, or perhaps their people were deemed sufficiently obedient to exempt them. After all, Sweden has almost completely abandoned cash, which leaves their people wide open to CBDC implementation.
This is unfortunate for Sweden because they have demonstrated throughout the scamdemic that they believed in natural immunity. They were the leaders and the results were compelling. Why the about face? I suspect they have been paid off by the global forces behind the scamdemic. It is scary to see officials change their tune so suddenly and contrary to what they had previously proven. I guess anyone can be bought off.
The vaxxes do not work. That is a verifiable fact. Vax passports are fucking evil and the people that promote the evil should be permanently removed from civil society.
