Ingrid Carlqvist was born in Stockholm. After graduating from Gothenburg University (journalism) in 1981, she worked as a reporter for Nordvastra Skanes Tidningar in Helsingborg.
In 1987 she moved on to Kvallsposten in Malmö where she stayed for twelve years, first as a reporter and then as a news editor. She was the first woman ever in the editorial management for Kvallsposten.
In 1999 she began free-lancing for different newspapers and magazines, constructed an award-winning board game and worked as an information officer for a theatre company. In 2006 she became a news editor for Aftonbladet in Malmö, and in 2008 editor-in-chief of the magazine Villaliv.
In 2005 she wrote her first book, and since then has written several biographies and one detective story. Last year she founded the Free Press Society in Sweden and became its President.
Below is the text of the speech given by Ingrid Carlqvist at the Brussels Conference on July 9, 2012. It was originally posted at Tryckfrihetssällskapet, the Swedish Free Press Society.
Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Ingrid Carlqvist and I was born in Sweden in 1960, when the Social Democrats were gonna rule forever and ever and our country was the nicest and safest and most progressed in the world. Now I live in Absurdistan – a country that has the highest figure of reported rapes in the world, hundreds of so called “exclusion areas” where people live outside the Swedish society and with newspapers that hide all these horrible facts to the people.
I feel just like Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz – a tornado came and blew me miles and miles away from home and dumped me in a country I don’t know.
“Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Sweden anymore.”
Like Dorothy I’m searching for a way to find my home, but on my path I only meet lions without courage, scarecrows without brains and tin men without hearts.
When I grew up our prime minister was Tage Erlander, a Social Democrat. In 1965 he said in parliament, after violent race riots in America:
“We Swedes live in a so infinitely happier situation. The population in our country is homogeneous, not just according to race but also in many other aspects.”
Now I live in a nation that is not homogenous in any respect. Olof Palme that came after him decided that homogeneous was a bad thing and opened up our borders for people from all over the world. And from right to left the politicians told us that there was no such thing as a Swedish culture, no Swedish traditions worth mentioning and that we Swedes should be grateful that so many people with REAL culture and REAL traditions came to us.
Mona Sahlin, a later leader of the Social Democrats, said in an interview 2002 with the magazine Euroturk, when asked what Swedish culture is:
”I’ve often had that question, but I can’t think of what Swedish culture is. I think that is what makes us Swedes so envious of immigrants. You have a culture, an identity, something that ties you together. What do we have? We have Midsummer’s Eve and such corny things.”
She also said: The Swedes must integrate into the new Sweden. The old Sweden is not coming back.
In this New Sweden we have more reported rapes than any other country in the European Union, according to a study by professor Liz Kelly from England. More than 5 000 rapes or attempted rapes were reported in 2008 (last year it was more than 6 000). In 2010 another study reported that just one country in the world has more rapes than Sweden, and that is Lesotho in South Africa. For every 100 000 inhabitants Lesotho has 92 reported rapes, Sweden has 53, The United States 29, Norway 20 and Denmark 7.
In 1990 the authorities counted to 3 exclusion areas in Sweden, suburbs where mostly immigrants live, where very few have a job to go to, almost all of them live by welfare and the children don’t pass their exams. In 2002 they counted to 128 exclusion areas. In 2006 we had 156 and then they stopped counting. In some cities, like Malmö where I live, a third of all inhabitants live in an exclusion area.
What did Tage Erlander mean when he said that the Swedish population was homogeneous, not just according to race but also in many other aspects? I think he meant things like norms, values, culture and traditions. A feeling of fellowship. That we all, in the Old Sweden, had a similar view of what a good society is and how we solve conflicts. He KNEW what the Swedish culture was all about, in contrast to Mona Sahlin.
In the New Sweden we need armed police officers at our hospitals because rivalling families fight each other in the hospital rooms. They gun each other down in open streets and they rob and beat old people up. The crime rate grows by the minute, but the Swedish politicians and journalists tell us that is has absolutely nothing to do with immigration. The fact that our prisons are full of foreign people is just a coincidence or is explained by socio-economic factors.
For many years I was a journalist in the mainstream media. But I was always a bit of a troublemaker, always suspicious of what people said was THE TRUTH. When everybody ran in one direction, I turned around in the other direction to see what was there.
In January 2011 something happened to make me loose my last hope about Swedish journalists. I was the vice chairman of The Society of Publicists in Malmö and had invited the Danish journalist Mikael Jalving to talk about his coming book “Absolute Sweden – a Journey in the Country of Silence”. One day the chairman phoned me and said: We must cancel Mikael Jalving because he is going to talk at a meeting arranged by a newspaper called National Today.
It didn’t matter to him, or to anyone else on the board of this society for journalists that Jalving was going to talk about his book. If he went to that meeting he would be infected by nationalist ideas and probably he would become a Nazi.
You see, everyone with a different opinion in Sweden really IS a Nazi!
That’s the way it works in the New Sweden, the country I call Absurdistan. The country of silence.
I was furious and left the board of that society. That led to my being invited to The Danish Free Press Society to talk about the strange country of Sweden and that led to my founding of The Swedish Free Press Society.
That is how Lars Hedegaard and I found each other. But we didn’t settle for running one Free Press Society each, since we both have a solid background as journalists we decided to start a newspaper. A good old, old-fashioned printed newspaper. We decided to call it Dispatch International because our vision is that this newspaper will become worldwide one day. But first we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin. Or rather – first we take Scandinavia and then we take the world!
Dispatch will be printed in two versions – one Danish and one Swedish – but all the stories are the same. And on the internet you will be able to read our stories in English and German as well. We will write about politics in our countries and in the world. We will write about all those things that mainstream media have been hiding for so many years now. We will distinguish between news stories and commentaries and the tone will be subdued. We will let the facts talk, the facts that mainstream journalists hide from people.
The situation in Sweden is far worse than in Denmark. In Sweden NOBODY talks about immigration problems, the death of the multiculti project or the Islamisation/Arabisation of Europe. If you do, you will immediately be called a racist, an Islamophobe or a Nazi. That is what I have been called since I founded the Free Press Society in Sweden. My name has been dragged through the dirt in big newspapers like Sydsvenskan, Svenska Dagbladet and even my own union paper, The Journalist.
So now I need you all to be my Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and help me find my home again! I don’t think it will work to tap the heels of my ruby slippers together three times as Dorothy did to wake up in her bedroom in Kansas. But if you support Dispatch by taking a subscription or become a shareholder or just donate money to us, you will take me one step closer to home. To the Sweden that once was, the Sweden I want back.

I am amazed that the Swedish ruling elite are saying the same things that our socalled elite have been saying to us, the English, for over two decades; with particular virulence from the 13 years of labour malice. That this is occurring over all the Western, Anglicised and European nations is not a coincidence. We are at war and the enemy is not just at our doors, it is sitting beside us in our shopping malls, schools, hospitals and government establishments.
The Swedes have always displayed a certain flexibility toward authoritarian regimes. They were able to accommodate the Germans in the early 1940s; I expect they will be able to accommodate the Islamists now.
This is a powerful speech!
We remember when Fjordman had his own blog and was reporting about Sweden. Not that he avoided Norway's issues - originally it may have been that Sweden was still reporting statistics then?
When I read the Local, every once in a while I see a glimpse of the reality, but mostly not. It runs reports of "studies" proving men are dumber than women - and in that respect, we in the West are all in the same man-hating basket. It's so sad.
The 21st century is fast becoming a nightmare. Global nightmare.
I curse the welfare state. It's been a tool for the destruction of the West ever since it was created. It has allowed millions of helpless, primitive, indigestible masses of 3rd worlders and their defective culture to move in get established.
The faster it collapses the better off the West will be.
Pray for it you're wise because it's the only thing that will wake people up and put the ruling elites on the defensive.
@Tregonsee
Comparing Swedes today with the compromises their grandparents made to survive is a rhetorical fallacy: look up strawman.
Yes, the "muliticultural experiment" was an epic FAIL all over Europe. And the sad part was all those countries lined up to point to the US' struggle with racial equality, all of them so self-righteously sure they'd do it better. However, it was a top-down failure, imposed by those in power. Ppl may have bought it at first, but they quickly learned the cruel unintended consequences of forced assimilation.
America's failure is more complex. We have a large number of black people who don't play the grievance card, who don't segregate themselves into separate quarters in college. I know some of them.
You can tell that the ones who do self-isolate. They're the ones who are suckers for the Islam line, for the rampant anti-Semitism. Their complete historical ignorance of Islam's abididng racism is dangerous for them and their children but they haven't ears to hear...Islam ws enslaving and killing before America even existed.
I can't say how dejected I feel about Sweden's situation. I have always been fascinated by Norse and Germanic history and folklore and hoped to visit these countries one day (and even perhaps stay a while), believing that there was a certain magic about them that could be found nowhere else on earth. I am sorry to see that, like the UK, they are being trashed by spineless prats who believe that such disparate European pagan / Christian cultures can co-exist with such a totalitarian ideology as Islam.
Apart from voting out this ultra-liberals, there seems to be little that patriotic Europeans can do to save their countries before it's too late.
Keep printing your newspaper because people need to hear the truth. I will definitely check it out and recommend it to like-minded individuals.
God bless you Ingrid for you have said exactly what we feel in England but nobody dares say anything here either or they will lose their job and we have plenty of unemployed or cheap immigrant labour waiting to take it. I recently travelled by bus through Birmingham, shortly to have a non-white majority and was amazed that nearly everybody I saw in the centre and at the bus station was either black or Asian. Everybody in this country is now becoming stateless, which suits globalization fine. The immigrants of several generations probably feel they do not belong here in a way that those of us for whom 75% of our dna goes back 11,000 years do. But we no longer feel we belong here either because we have lost our homeland for exactly the same reasons as you. Tage Erlander said of Sweden exactly how England used to be 50 to 60 years ago. Even in the 1980s it was still recognisably England but now England is in the depths of the countryside or on the fringes, most of our towns and cities are rapidly becoming de-anglicized. England and the English are becoming history. Homogeneous countries are strong countries, multicultural ones are weak ones and Europe is now fatally wounded. When I think of Sweden I think of Jussi Bjorling's Namner Du Sverige, which even for a non-Swede creates a feeling of homesickness. If you were to say Namner Du Sverige now, what would you think of? The peoples of Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Friesland brought democracy and the independent spirit to England and through England to North America and Australasia, even to India. Now we live in a totalitarian Marxist superstate called the EU but even our own party leaders are cultural Marxists wedded to the multicultural one world dream promoted by the UN's commissioner for world migration who happens to work for Goldman Sachs. The peoples of the north must rebel. We must get together and rebel and reclaim our countries and our democracy. Why do European countries and those of European settlement have to be multicultural whilst China, India, Japan and black Africa do not? Anybody who thinks deeply can see that European Christian Civilisation is being destroyed and the world will go down with it. There is no logic and those gifted with a superior intellect
( that's not our political or financial elites then ) can see that. We thought Sweden was already lost so I am glad to see that somebody there still has some fight left. Don't give up. Don't let them destroy the most advanced civilisation the world has ever known and turn the first world into the third. Takk ska du ha!!
Well said. But hey you forget the rest of us. It should be called "Absurdinavia".
If you combine Tage Erlanders social-democracy with a large population without the Social Contract defined by a homogenous culture you get a society with a progression as follows: 1) exploitation of those stupid enough to honor the contract 2) widespread downsizing of "welfare" 3) the emergence of a society built around the ideas of the USA.
Scandinavia is DEAD as a beacon of social democracy. If we are lucky we get a society that works like the US. But then we need to ditch "welfare" very fast indeed. For the longer we linger in exploitation, the more we lose the link of legitimacy between the politicians and the people.
We need more direct democracy and we need it NOW. The European Union as a political construct is a disaster. And Absurdinavia should be viewed as an excellent example on how NOT to do it.
Anders Borg is the minister of finance in Sweden. He is from the rightwing party also voted the best finance minister in Europe.
He said in a speech last week.
I am not sure a secular state is the best, we should be pragmatic.
I am willing to give money to build new mosques and to educate imams but I will not give money to the swedish churhes.
Furthermore he said that 90% of women from the middle east are withtout work. Therefore we have to make them more welcomed here and
strengthen the muslim community.
Sweden takes more immigrants per capita than any other europen country.
Somalia,Irak,Afghanistan and Syria are the were they are coming from.
Nothing about this in the swedish media.
God bless you Ingrid. The Angles,Saxons, Jutes, Fresians, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish Vikings brought democracy and the lust for freedom and independence to England which was then spread throughout the world through the British Empire, to countries of European settlement and others such as India. Now we English live in a Marxist totalitarian superstate called the EU and our political parties are culturally Marxist allowing no nationalistic deviation from the globalists' and globalizers' one world multicultural agenda. England and the English have a sell by date of about 2070 if you are lucky. Sweden will be gone long before. Even as an Englishman when I hear Jussi Bjorling sing Namner Du Sverige I feel homesick. What do we think of when we hear Namner Du Sverige today, sheer lunacy; but this is the lunacy that has been forced on European Christian Civilisation by international socialists and globalizing capital. If we speak out we could lose our jobs and there are plenty of unemployed and cheap immigrant labour to take our place. Why oh why is multiculturalism to be confined to Europe and countries of European settlement? Why is it absent in Japan, China, India and Black Africa. We know why, because the political and financial elites want Europe and Europeans gone for their own plutocratic ends and insane ideological ends. They hate their own people and their own civilisation, the most advanced the world has ever known. Homogeneous countries are strong, multicultural ones are weak and Europe has now been fatally wounded. I am glad to see that somebody in Sweden is fighting back. We though Sweden was lost. We men (and women) of the north must reclaim our countries and democracy from these non-democratic, totalitarian maniacs for if European Christian Civilisation goes down and the First World turns into the Third then the rest of the world that depends on us goes down also. Never give up Ingrid for as Churchill said,"We will never surrender". Takk ska du ha!!

We're all hostages to charges of "racism", it's certainly a world wide phenomenon, apparently we have to prove we're not racists by the constant comprise of liberal democratic principles.
There's a debate here in Australia as to what is the optimum population size and growth rate. It's very difficult to run any online forum without one or more members of the multi-culti lobby accusing sceptics of high population growth of 'racism'. The 'multiculturalists' don't critique the economic, social and economic data we present but simply hammer the "you're all racists" propaganda line.
Rather than analysing our motivation they should undertake some self reflection themselves.
The Swedes must integrate into the new Sweden. The old Sweden is not coming back.
I'm getting the same feeling about America.
Unlike America's 1965 Immigration Reform Act which promised NO radical demographic changes to the U.S., the Swedes were not lied to about the motivation of the mass-immigration movement- consciously engineered to destroy Swedish identity and historical Sweden- by their elites.
It was done openly, and, for whatever suicidal reason, the majority of the Swedes went along with their self-eradication.
The U.S. people, on the other hand, were solemnly promised by politicians, like LBJ and Teddy Kennedy, that new immigration forces invited into America would have no bad consequences.
Americans were deceived, and the results are the slow Balkanization of the nation.
The Swedes were told exactly what was was coming and agreed to this self-eradicating bargain.
Can Ingrid Carlqvist explain why the Swedes wanted to erase themselves?
I remember in Human, All Too Human Nietzsche wrote that the collapse of the traditional nation states in the 20th century would give way to an "age of cultural comparison." The age would be disorientingly frightful but necessary for the emergence of a new, superior European nationalism, which would again be based on a unifying European ethnicity and idea.
Whenever I fear that current trends are irreversible and the European races are lost, I have recourse to this thought.
The Swedes had too good for too long and as a result can't see a threat that's right in front of them. No, everybody isn't like you. Many from Islamic countries are primitive, violent and hate your guts merely for existing. And given enough time and numbers they will exterminate you.
It's like our elite in the U.S. where you mega rich Jews like Bloomberg feting Muslim Brotherhood types and promoting their agenda. Or that perennially stupid Hillary playing nice with Egyptian terrorist. Then I watch Pam Geller pull her hair out in disgust over the suicidal actions of her people. She see's the threat, the others just see party goers and luncheon friends.
I hate to say it, but many people are like the Dodos. They will be consumed like cheeseburgers on the if the bad guys get their way.
At least the working class yanks recognize the threats and are preparing for them even if our leaders continue to betray us.
Someone asked a Swede, who are you, what is your culture? Instead of giving a reply, they slit their wrist to see if blood would flow from their body. What a long strange death; mystifyingly, boring, like Swedish art house cinema.
So....how long before we can expect to see a news report of
Ms. Carlqvist being arrested and
charged with a hate crime for having the temerity to speak the
truth about Sweden's voluntary
suicide by cultural poisoning.
Thank you so much for your support! I feel quite alone saying these things in Sweden and for sure I will be prosecuted for hate speech very soon. But I don't hate anybody, I just want my safe and sound country back.
Someone asked why the Swedes wanted to erase themselves. I don't think we ever did. We were not told, the politicians did it behind our back and since the journalists don't tell the truth we never found out about the decision the parliament did 1975 to make Sweden a multiculti country. I think people really believed that immigration was too small to make a difference and when they see what has happened they are scared out of their wits. But they can't say anything because the ones who do lose their job and even family members.
But if they can buy a newspaper with the truth, and see that we are good guys, not nazis and rasists and bigottes and what ever the elite will call us, I am sure people will find their courage again. That is my last hope, anyway.
@Profitsbeard
Why? - I have asked myself the same question for the last 20 years. The only plausible answer I can come up with is this:
There was a widespread support for national socialism and its focus on the nation-state until 1945 (This was even more the case for Sweden than the rest of Scandinavia).
To pay for this guilt, the Scandinavians chose to wipe their own culture. During the 30 years following the revolution of 1968 relativism and deconstruction was perfected until we got Absurdinavia with Mona Sahlin at the very front.
Marxist ideas has dominated the universities, the cultural elite, the teachers and the journalists. Due to the limited size of the Scandinavian countries, diversity was easily destroyed and we got societies that were semi-authoritarian.
To question the ideas of the elite has been professional and social suicide until very recently. Now there is a small but important body of intellectuals that spearpoint a move towards freedom and political diversity. Carlqvist is one of these few.
I think our precent history will be regarded as a fight for freedom, secularism and human rights much more than it is a fight against islam. We all see the need to start the construction of all that was eagerly deconstructed after 1968.
Steven Pinkers "The better angels of nature" is a great book pointing at the need for more rationality and a better understanding of human nature.
We will certainly not integrate ourselves into a new Scandinavia with less secularism and more limitations to free speech.
Firstly I apologise that because my internet connection is so bad I managed to send the same posting three times thinking it had not gone. Now, Ingrid, can I suggest that you send your speech to the Daily Mail in London. Few people in England know what is happening in other countries through immigration although of course the wicked Anders Breivik brought this to their attention regarding Norway. The Marxist BBC was delighted as they could then say that all those who are opposed to immigration in Europe are like Anders. They then assumed that the Jewish shootings in France were done by other "right wing extremists" (like Churchill who opposed non-white immigration into Britain) and were very upset when they discovered the assassin was an Arab muslim. My wife and I know about immigrant crime and immigration in Sweden through watching Wallander although Mankell, who now lives in Africa, is I believe a left-winger and shows it from that viewpoint.
It would be a good time to publish in England Ingrid as the latest British census has just revealed an increase of 3 million in the population in ten years through immigration, the greatest ever. Environmentalists say it cannot continue but the globalizers want the cheap labour and the socialists want total multiculturalism and the votes.
I think this will have been an increase of 25% in the population of England in my 60 years, staggering. The army has just described the firm charged with security for the Olympics as staggeringly stupid. I think this describes the British governments of the last 60 years and those of most other western countries who seemed to be hell-bent on destroying the whole idenitities of the countries they ruled over.
Labour let in the 3m into England for ideological and vote garnering reasons and former Labour home secretary Jack Straw has said that England and the English are not worth saving. That must be treason but still the working masses vote for them. Unebelievable.
My latest comment did not appear so I hope it is not suddenly going to pop up and I will repeat myself again. As regards the first comment above from a fellow Englishman, there is meant to be a shadowy organisation of people here who are working to bring the multicultural one world state into being and they are called Common Purpose. Many are probably well-meaning but deluded, others not but they may well be sitting next to you on the bus every day. The reference to Nietzsche makes me hope that we, too, can have a common purpose all over Europe and beyond to preserve Europe's historic identity. We are hopefully coming together so that Europe might rise again phoenix like from the ashes of the globalists'one world fire; just as musicians come together from all parts of Europe and beyond as friends with a passion to celebrate Europe's classical musical heritage so we, especially those of us from the traditionally democratic nations of Northern Europe, must come together as one family, for we are all related, to restore Europe's unique identity and save it from destruction. We are at another of Europe's dark hours, faced once again with a merciless totalitarian ideology and sometimes I wonder whether Hitler was manipulated by those same people to ensure the end of the homogeneous European nation state. We must show that this is what brings us together as Europeans and those of European descent and not the Marxist EU multicultural totalitarian superstate for which most Europeans have no feeling whatsoever and increasingly reject. Yes, it is apt that your conference took place in Brussels, home of Europe's wholly undemocratic and non-elected political elite.
Will there be a video of Ingrid Carlquist?
She is a lovely woman with a great sense of humour.
Ingrid, I think the old Scottish song probably sums up what you and so many others all over Europe are thinking, namely:
And it's oh but I'm longing for my aen folk
Though they be but lowly pure and plain folk
I am far beyond the sea but my heart will always be
At hame in dear old Scotland/Sweden/Denmark/England/Belgium/Frane etc with my aen folk.
I actually hope that Sweden falls into an islamic cess pit basket case of despair, poverty
and violence.
It might just serve as a wake up call to the rest of the western world. And remember, they keep voting for this, they have nobody to blame but themselves
