Only 2% Potential Migrants Amid 10,000 Rejected Boarding Denmark-Sweden Ferry

A multimillion dollar project mandated by Swedish authorities aiming to find illegal migrants and asylum seekers crossing the strait from Denmark only has a success rate of some 2 percent, mostly complicating ordinary commuters lives, a ferry operator revealed.

Stockholm introduced identity checks for travelers from Denmark to Sweden in January as part of measures to reduce the flow of illegal migrants. Passengers boarding trains, ferries or buses bound for Sweden are required to show a passport or other form of ID in order to be allowed onboard.

Now HH Ferries, which offers sea connections between the two neighbors, says that security checks only stem out 2 percent from the entire flow of passengers.

The route that runs between the Danish town of Helsingør and Helsingborg in Sweden, this year, only refused 200 entries to illegal asylum seekers while turning down 10,000 Swedes and Danes, who simply forgot to take along their papers.

“The majority of the people we refuse boarding are Scandinavian citizens, mostly Swedes. We’re obviously all used to travelling in a region where mobility is in flow,” Henrik Rørbæk, administrative director of HH Ferries, told DR.

One would think being fluent in Danish or Swedish would be sufficient proof. They are looking for migrants after all. Is that too much like racial profiling for the Swedish government?

While the nationwide success rate of the ID check program is not known, Rørbæk believes the mandatory government requirements are not worth the expenses. Rørbæk claimed that his company spends an equivalent of $325,000 every month to follow government’s regulation. Failure to check ID may result in a government fine of $5,400.

“It is a big procedure for the sake of relatively small figures. And in general, the flow of asylum seekers up here has not been very great. It also shouldn’t be any secret that this is costing us large amounts each month,” Rørbæk continued.

Over three million passengers passed through ID checks in 2016, reports DR. HH Ferries Group owns the ferry route between Helsingborg and Helsingör running across Öresund strait which forms the Danish–Swedish border.

With vessels departing every fifteen minutes on a 20 minute-long route, the company’s fleet can transport up to 50,000 passengers and 9,000 cars as well as 1,600 buses and trucks across Öresund on a daily basis.

But frustrating as it may be for Scandinavians to cross their borders, Sweden’s Integration Minister Inger Støjberg maintains that border control should stay.

“We know that things can change very quickly and that a large number of asylum seekers who possibly want to travel on to Sweden might come here, and get stuck here, so as long as the Swedes maintain their ID checks, I see no reason why we should lift our border control,” Støjberg told DR.

Overall Sweden in 2015 received about 163,000 asylum seekers, but has lowered the estimate to about 30,000 bids in 2016.

Police Mis-lead Swedish Media into Protecting Horde of Somali Rapists

Ostentatious headlines in Aftonbladet, Expressen and other media declared that ”six Swedes,” later ”eight Swedes”, had been arrested for a rough gang rape on a Finland ferry. Nya Tider is now the first newspaper to reveal that not even the white lie that the arrested Somalis are ”Swedish citizens” is right – all the detainees are Somali Muslim citizens, and of all the suspects only one has a Swedish citizenship.


Nya Tider: The rapes took place on the Finland ferry Viking Amorella, which was on its way from Stockholm to Åbo. A 45-year-old woman is said have been lured into a cabin of one of the perpetrators, and then gang-raped when more people came to the the cabin.

Media, which tends to be overzealous in its eagerness to follow the paragraph of ”the ethical rules of the press” explaining that one shouldn’t emphasize the person’s ethnic origin or nationality if it ”has no significance in the context and is disrespectful”, rapidly made the interpretation that it was important to emphasize that the arrested perpetrators were Swedes.

Why was it 'significant' to identify the creeps as Swedes, but not 'significant' to identify them as Somalis.

”Six Swedish men raped woman in cabin”, Aftonbladet declared. ”Six Swedes arrested for rape on ferry”, Expressen trumpeted. Metro had the same headline but with ”Finland ferry” instead of just ”ferry”. ”Several Swedish men suspected of rape on Finland ferry”, DN’s heading read. And of course TT went along with, ”Six Swedes arrested for ferry rape”.

It seems as if the original assertion that there were six Swedes being arrested, wasn’t the invention of Swedish media but stemmed from statements made by Finnish police to Ilta-Sanomat.

Soon, however, it became clear that there weren’t any ethnic Swedes who were arrested. In social media info was posted from Swedes, who had been present on the ferry, that the perpetrators were of Somali origin. This didn’t, however, stop the offenders’ nationality to be shouted from the rooftops. ”Six Swedes” became ”eight Swedes” when more suspects were arrested at the ferry’s arrival in Sweden.

”One informant stated to Aftonbladet that the woman is said to have been lured into the cabin of one of the offenders. Once in the cabin several men joined who pushed her down on her back and pulled off her clothes. Then they raped her, according to the woman’s testimony.” Thus wrote Aftonbladet’s Richard Aschberg and Victor Stenquist on February 2. ”Already during the weekend a total of eight Swedish men were arrested, suspected of involvement in the gang rape”, they wrote in the same article.

At that time it was already known to readers of alternative media, or net forums like Flashback, that the alleged perpetrators had names like Mohamed, Ahmed and Abdullahi. Still, however, most assumed that Swedish media hadn’t lied straight out, simply having neglected to publish the ethnicity but publishing their proper, formal nationality – that they were Somalis with Swedish citizenship.

Now Nya Tider can reveal that this is a lie. All of the four men who are currently in custody, on probable causes suspected of aggravated rape, have Somali citizenship.

The lunacy of European countries protecting immoral Muslims by lying to the general population is basically 'assisted suicide'. You will have to deal with the Islamification of Europe soon, very soon, in fact, it may already be too late. Dealing with the problem must begin with telling the truth about it. There appear to be too few politicians with the courage and sense to do that.
