Sweden’s Murder Rate Now Higher Than El Salvador’s After Years of Globalist Mass Migration Policies—Half of Older Swedes Want to Flee the Country

Sweden, once hailed as a beacon of safety and “progressive utopia” of Europe, is now facing a grim and unthinkable reality: its murder rate has climbed higher than that of El Salvador, long infamous for gang violence, and a nation that, until recently, was considered one of the most dangerous places on Earth.

The shocking revelation, confirmed by multiple sources, highlights the catastrophic consequences of decades of open-border, globalist immigration policies championed by Sweden’s out-of-touch left-liberal establishment.

According to data from early 2025, Sweden has reported 32 murders just in the first 110 days of the year. By comparison, El Salvador, after a massive anti-gang crackdown led by President Bukele, has reported only 20. That means Sweden now has over 50% more murders than the former gang warzone.

The Central American country’s dramatic turnaround is largely credited to President Nayib Bukele’s zero-tolerance strategy against gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18, involving mass arrests and long prison sentences.

Meanwhile, Sweden reels from deadly shootings and bombings carried out by criminal migrant gangs that flourish in the country’s increasingly ‘diverse’ urban enclaves.

The first quarter of 2025 alone saw 19 firearm-related homicides in Sweden, alongside 13 other murders and suspicious deaths under investigation. And that’s just the cases where suspects have been identified or arrested—another 20 unexplained deaths weren’t even included in the official count, suggesting the real numbers could be worse.

In January, Stockholm was rocked by 32 bombings, a brutal indication of how deeply embedded organized criminal networks have become in Swedish society. The violence isn’t isolated either—it’s spreading from no-go zones in major cities to the country’s quieter suburbs and towns.

Tragically, Sweden, once one of the safest and most peaceful countries in the world, is being eaten alive from the inside out by violent criminal networks that globalist politicians have imported under the guise of “compassion” and “diversity.”

EPA head demands answers from company putting sulfur dioxide into the air to address global warming

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is demanding a company that deliberately sends sulfur dioxide into the air to combat global warming provide detailed information on its practices. Critics of the practice, which is called geoengineering, say it puts potentially harmful pollutants into the air and needs more oversight. 

The company Zeldin is scrutinizing, Make Sunsets, sells “cooling credits.” The credits pay to launch weather balloons made of biodegradable latex containing hydrogen and sulfur dioxide. According to the company, each $5 credit it sells offsets the warming impact of one ton of carbon dioxide for one year. 

Last year, the company posted on its X account videos of balloon launches. According to the Make Sunsets website, the company has sold 125,717 “cooling credits” since February 2023, delivered by 147 balloons. As the balloon rises, the decreasing air pressure causes it to burst. They try to make the balloon burst above 66,000 feet, upon which they issue the “cooling credits.”

World Economic Forum Confirms Probe Into Claims Against Klaus Schwab

The World Economic Forum said on April 22 that it launched an investigation after allegations of misconduct by its former chairman, Klaus Schwab, were sent to its board.

Schwab resigned from his position as chair of the Geneva-based WEF’s board of trustees on April 21, a WEF spokesperson said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.

The probe is in response to a Wall Street Journal report that an anonymous letter sent in mid-April to the World Economic Forum’s board raised concerns about the organization’s governance and workplace culture.

“The Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum unanimously supported the Audit and Risk Committee’s decision to initiate an independent investigation following a whistleblower letter containing allegations against former Chairman Klaus Schwab,” the WEF spokesperson said.

The decision was made after consultation with external legal counsel and in line with the forum’s fiduciary responsibilities, according to the statement.

The investigation will be led by the Audit and Risk Committee with the support of independent legal experts, and the Committee will move “expediently to determine its processes and parameters and will share its progress with the Board,” the statement said.

Voluntary Remigration: Sweden Offers Migrants $61K Incentive to Leave Europe

Sweden’s center-right coalition government—supported by the national-conservative Sweden Democrats—is set to roll out a sweeping new plan that will dramatically increase financial incentives for migrants who voluntarily leave the country, marking one of the most generous “return grant” programs in Europe.

Unveiled on Wednesday, the proposed policy would offer up to SEK 600,000 ($61,134) to migrant families who choose to repatriate or resettle outside the European Union and select neighboring countries.

Individual adults could receive SEK 350,000 ($35,974), while couples may qualify for up to SEK 500,000 ($50,933). Families would also be eligible for an additional SEK 25,000 ($2,490) per child under 18, capped at the SEK 600,000 total.

“This is about giving people who feel excluded or who haven’t found a place in Swedish society the opportunity for a dignified return and a new beginning elsewhere,” Migration Minister Johan Forssell said in a statement to the Swedish TT news agency. “But this won’t be a free ticket. If they return to Sweden, they’ll be required to pay the money back.”

The plan comes in response to the country’s ongoing challenges with migrant integration, particularly for those with permanent residency who remain outside the workforce or social mainstream.

Migrants—primarily from Islamic countries—not only rely on Sweden’s generous welfare system at disproportionately high rates compared to native-born Swedes, but are also significantly overrepresented in violent crime statistics.

46 Honduran nationals working for Sinaloa Drug Cartel arrested on drug trafficking charges in Portland, Oregon

Federal and local law enforcement agencies arrested 46 Honduran nationals on drug trafficking charges in Portland, Oregon, following an extensive joint operation to disrupt open-air drug markets in Multnomah County. Authorities seized an array of illicit drugs, firearms, and cash. The Honduran nationals were reportedly working on behalf of the Mexican Sinaloa Drug Cartel, a designated foreign terror group, according to a press release.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Seattle Field Division said that the apprehended “Honduran drug traffickers” flooded the Portland area with “deadly fentanyl and other drugs.” The enforcement operation that netted 46 arrests occurred in the first four months of 2025.

In total, authorities seized 44 pounds of fentanyl powder; 2,507 fentanyl pills; 22 pounds of methamphetamine; nine pounds of cocaine; two pounds of heroin; 20 firearms; and $204,007 in cash, according to the DEA.

“The fentanyl seized by our team in this case could have yielded over 1.5 million lethal doses – enough to kill everyone in Portland twice,” said David F. Reames, Special Agent in Charge, DEA Seattle Field Division. “I am proud that DEA could help our partners bring this surge to a successful conclusion, saving lives here in Portland and throughout Oregon.”

According to the DEA, nearly 70 percent of all drug poisonings and overdose deaths involve fentanyl, and just two milligrams of fentanyl is considered a potentially deadly overdose.

Portland, a self-declared sanctuary city for illegal immigrants, is among the highest in the nation for fentanyl overdose deaths, as stated in a 2024 CDC report. The operation comes after the state of Oregon re-criminalized illicit drug possession last year following a failed 2020 drug decriminalization ballot measure that resulted in an increase in overdose deaths and open-air drug use on city streets, according to data.

Previously Unreleased Document Exposes Government’s False Insurrection Narrative: Only 56 Officers Reported Minor Injuries on January 6

In a new development in the ongoing battle for transparency surrounding the Government’s unprecedented lawfare against January 6 defendants, J6er Ryan Zink and his attorney, Roger Roots, have filed an opposition (Document 155, filed April 21, 2025) to the government’s attempt to conceal critical evidence from the public.

This filing, submitted in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, follows Zink’s recent victory in lifting a protective order on January 6 discovery materials and the government’s subsequent push to reverse that decision. The latest filing reveals a previously unreleased document, marked “highly sensitive” by the government, which lists the injuries reported by Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers on January 6.

The document shatters the government’s narrative of a violent “insurrection,” exposing it as a deliberate lie designed to smear President Donald Trump and interfere in the 2024 election.

The “highly sensitive” document, included as part of Zink and Roots’ filing, details that only 56 MPD officers reported injuries related to the January 6 protest.

Far from the catastrophic “attack” on law enforcement peddled by the Department of Justice (DOJ), the injuries listed are often trivial, with many described simply as “pain” in various parts of the body. Examples include a “laceration to the pinky finger,” and nebulous, nondescriptive reports of “back pain” and “head pain.”

Only 18 officers were treated at a hospital, with just one—Officer Michael Fanone—remaining admitted for what the government has exaggerated as “serious injuries.” Notably, the filing highlights that Fanone’s own bodycam footage contradicts his claims of suffering a heart attack or traumatic brain injury, showing him stating he was “O.K.” and engaging in lighthearted conversations with colleagues.

U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly Introduces New “Assault Weapons” Ban

Dubbed the “GOSAFE Act,” this unconstitutional bill would regulate the sale, transfer and manufacture of “gas-operated semi-automatic firearms by establishing a list and prevent modifications of so-called “prohibited firearms.”

Similar legislation has been introduced in state legislatures and has even been signed into law by Colorado Governor Jared Polis in recent weeks.

According to a press release from the bill sponsor U.S. Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) the GOSAFE Act would:

Regulate the sale, transfer, and manufacture of gas-operated semi-automatic firearms by:

  • Establishing a list of prohibited firearms;
  • Preventing modifications of permissible firearms;
  • Mandating that future gas-operated designs are approved before manufacture;
  • Preventing firearm self-assembly and manufacturing;
  • Prohibiting machinegun conversion devices;
  • Limit high-capacity ammunition devices;

This legislation is certainly more restrictive than what even California and New York have on the books regarding semi-automatic firearms.

Another Body Found in Massachusetts Fuels Speculation and Fears About Possible New England Serial Killer

Last week, the Gateway Pundit reported that fears are growing that New England towns are being hunted by a serial killer.

Now another body has been found, this time in Springfield, Massachusetts, a small city in the western part of the state. This brings the victim count to eight. Most of the victims have been women.

Authorities are still trying to downplay speculation about the case but the subject is receiving an ever-increasing amount of attention on social media.

FOX News reported:

New England serial killer fears heighten after eighth idyllic town rocked by gruesome discovery

Massachusetts authorities are investigating the death of a woman found unresponsive off a bike path in Springfield on Tuesday.

Springfield Police Department spokesperson Ryan Walsh said officers responded to reports of an unresponsive person near a bike path at the 1500 block of Hall of Fame Avenue.

Upon arrival, officers discovered a woman who was pronounced dead shortly after.

“The SPD Homicide Unit under the direction Captain Trent Duda is conducting an unattended death investigation in conjunction with the @HampdenDA Murder Unit, pending an autopsy by the Medical Examiner,” Walsh said.

The woman’s death comes amid rumors circulating online about a possible New England serial killer following the deaths of seven and now eight people, mostly women, between March and April in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. As of Wednesday, authorities have not announced any kind of connection between the eight victims’ deaths…

The rumors began circulating on a Facebook group called “New England Serial Killer,” which has since changed its name due to Facebook rules and regulations. Over the last two months, human remains have been located in New Haven, Norwalk, Groton and Killingly, Connecticut; Foster, Rhode Island; and Framingham, Plymouth and now Springfield, Massachusetts.

Oakland’s New Mayor Wants $50 Minimum Wage, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Barbara Lee, a longtime Democratic politician, is stepping into her new role as mayor of Oakland amid economic chaos and public concern.

After leaving her congressional seat in 2024 to pursue a U.S. Senate bid—ultimately losing to Adam Schiff—she returns to city politics at a precarious moment.

Oakland’s city government is staring down an $87 million budget deficit.

Pensions, insurance, and a shrinking tax base are expected to make matters worse.

The city has become a symbol of urban decline in California, marked by rampant crime, business closures, and general lawlessness.

Oakland voters have made their choice, and now they’ll live with the consequences.

Barbara Lee’s election is not just another leftward lurch—it’s a hard swerve into fantasy economics and failed policies repackaged as “progress.”

Anyone who thinks raising the minimum wage to $50 an hour—equivalent to $104,000 a year—is a sane or sustainable policy shouldn’t be running a lemonade stand, much less a major city.

Ukraine Situation Report: U.S. Peace Plan Stumbles After Tumultuous Day

During a very turbulent day in which the Trump administration saw its plans to end the war in Ukraine sputter, Vice President JD Vance said Kyiv would have to give up territory now held by Russia in any such deal. He also said Ukraine would have to accept the annexation of Crimea by Russia and a prohibition on joining the NATO alliance.

“It was the first time a U.S. official had publicly laid out a plan to end the war that favors Russia in such stark terms,” The New York Times reported.

“The current lines, or somewhere close to them, is where you’re ultimately, I think, going to draw the new lines in the conflict,” Vance told reporters in India. “Now, of course, that means the Ukrainians and the Russians are both going to have to give up some of the territory they currently own.”

Vance did not specify what territory in Ukraine would be given up by Russia, which currently occupies about 20 of it. Under those terms, Ukraine would have to surrender huge swaths of land. Vance also said both sides need to come to the table or the U.S. would “walk away” from further negotiations.
