I recall Fredrik “Fred” Lundin, Swedish‑American power broker who ruled Chicago’s underworld politics early 1900s, long before Capone. He built influence by trading jobs for votes, ran a Juniper Ale business, and steered Swedish‑American blocs toward Mayor Thompson. His 1922 embezzlement case marked the end of his grip, though he remained influential for years. I also note Andrew Volstead, champion of the Volstead Act, who shaped Prohibition era policy.

Fredrik "Fred" Lundin, born May 18, 1868, was the Swedish-American who ruled behind the scenes in Chicago at the beginning of the 20th century, before the more famous mafia boss Al Capone took over in 1922. Andrew John Volstead born October 31, 1860 died January 20, 1947 was an American member of the United States House of Representatives from Minnesota 1903–1923 and a member of the Republican Party. His name is closely associated with the National Prohibition Act of 1919, commonly referred to as the Volstead Act. The act was enabling legislation for the enforcement of alcohol prohibition in the United States which began in 1920 also known as the prohibition era. Volstead was born in Kenyon, Goodhue County, in the Swedish state of Minnesota, to Norwegian-American parents Jon Einertson Vraalstad (John Vrolstad), a distant relative of Queen Sonja of Norway, and wife Dorothea Mathea Lillo. He was educated at St. Olaf College, became a lawyer, and served as mayor of Granite Falls, Minnesota, from 1900 to 1902. Congressional career While in Congress, he served as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee from 1919 to 1923. Although he is often credited as the author of the Volstead Act, he collaborated with Wayne Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon League, who conceived and largely drafted the bill. However, Volstead sponsored the Wheeler and fought, promoted and facilitated its passage. Volstead was a member of the 58th, 59th, 60th, 61st, 62nd, 63rd, 64th, 65th, 66th, and 67th Congresses. He was defeated in his attempt to be elected to an eleventh term in 1922. Shortly thereafter, he was hired as legal counsel to the head of the National Prohibition Enforcement Bureau where he worked, among other things, with Richard James "Two-Gun" Hart, whose real name was Vincenzo Capone , older brother of the infamous mob boss Al Capone, who, funnily enough, made his fortune precisely from alcohol prohibition. Prohibition created the market! So what interests could possibly be behind it? In the United States' 61st Congress, which ran from 1909-1911, Andrew Volsteadt sat together with Swedish-born Frederick "Fred" Lundin, and even if we could not find any direct connection to the famous Swedish financial family, it is not far off that there will be show up. Fredrik "Fred" Lundin, born May 18, 1868, died August 20, 1947, was the Swedish-American who ruled behind the scenes in Chicago at the beginning of the 20th century, before the more famous mafia boss Al Capone took over in 1922. Fred Lundin emigrated with his family from the village of Västra Tollstad in Östergötland to the United States in 1880. His political career began in 1893 after two policemen appeared to go unpunished after drunkenly beating a young Swedish man to death. Fred Lundin then got Chicago's many Swedish-Americans to protest, and managed to get the two policemen sentenced to prison. He then continued to build his political power, and by the end of the 19th century he controlled so many votes in Chicago that he became a force to be reckoned with. In exchange for his followers voting as he told them, Fred arranged for them jobs, mainly in the municipal sector. Also, after they were hired, they would pay a portion of their wages to the Abraham Lincoln League, an organization run by Fred. In addition to these earnings, Fred made a fortune selling juniper drink, which he called Juniper Ale, a sale that was certainly not harmed by the prohibition of alcohol, it may be added for the sake of it. When another of Chicago's bosses, William Lorimer, was arrested for corruption in 1912, Fred Lundin got his followers to join him instead. Now his organization was so powerful that he was able to get his puppet William Hale Thompson (who later also acted as the mayor's stooge for Al Capone) elected mayor in 1915. In 1922, Fred Lundin was put on trial for embezzling tax money. Although he was acquitted, this was the beginning of the end of his career as a political boss. Soon after, Mayor Thompson turned his back on him and Fred Lundin chose to retire from politics. Contemporaries in Sweden... Erik Harry Lundin, born 19 July 1896 in Hedvig Eleonora parish, died 24 March 1973, was a Swedish chemist. Lundin was employed in 1919 at Stockholms Bryggerier's central laboratory, which had been founded the year before on the initiative of the company's manager Bertil Almgren. The central laboratory was initially intended to devote itself to operational control of the company's various breweries, and to utilize scientific methodology to improve the brewing process. However, the central laboratory came to have a role in expanding the company's activities to other products based on fermentation, where Lundin played the central role, and the activities later resulted in the Kärnbolaget - they thus picked up patents on fermentation processes at the same time as the ban came about in the USA and lucky is, as you know, when circumstances come to preparation. The first products were various types of industrial aids, and then they focused on the production of vitamin preparations. The first was a B vitamin preparation for animals, made from surplus yeast, launched in 1929. A B vitamin preparation for humans followed in 1936, and a vitamin C preparation made from rosehip in 1937. Lundin earned a doctorate from Yale University in 1927, and was from 1932 teacher of fermentation at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). He later became professor of food chemistry at KTH. Lundin was elected in 1941 as a member of the Academy of Engineering Sciences and the Academy of Agriculture. In 1956 he was awarded KTH's grand prize. In 1958 he became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. From 1927, Lundin was married to Maria, née von Wagner, who was born into a German-speaking family in Odessa. Her brother Willy von Wagner would later die in 1943 on behalf of Nazi Germany during the occupation of Norway. Among their children are the industrialist Adolf Lundin and the head of KSI - the office for special collection - Bertil Lundin. But of course there was no planning at all, and the ban did not create the market at all as well as the conditions to control it not least with patent-protected fermentation processes, and it was not at all the pharmaceutical industry that was the beneficiary of the drug ban! cred to @MarcusLjunggre4 Fred "Poor Swede" Lundin kept Chicago's corrupt mayor in power for years while the gangster empire expanded. The recipe for success? Juniper drink. Nobody seems to have escaped that one of the big election issues this autumn is organized crime – how it should be met, tamed and preferably crushed, which ethnic groups are most responsible and how many police officers are needed to keep order on the farm. The fact that several of our potentially elected officials do not seem to have clean flour in their bag makes the question all the more exciting for us eligible voters. It was recently revealed that 64 people running for political positions have connections to the criminal motorcycle environment. These are people from several parties, but the Sweden Democrats are – unsurprisingly – heavily overrepresented, despite the fact that the party officially claims that it wants to make it a criminal offense to participate in and support criminal organizations. Nothing new under the sun, they say, but how have relations between politicians and gangsters been in the past? Are there examples of close ties between people who rule and people who commit crimes? Wealthy senators bound proletarians and other poor Romans to them through informal agreements Oh yes, is the simple answer. Even in the distant past, there are many examples, which can be easily analyzed in everything from historical works to trial materials. Some of the most famous examples stem from Rome during the late Republic, when Caesar, Pompey and Crassus ruled over the emerging empire while criminal gangs with ties to political bosses made life unsafe in the capital. Rich senators tied proletarians and other poor Romans to them through informal agreements: if the poor supported the senator in both consul elections and street riots, he promised to help the poor with whatever they might need. That is to say, the "patron" protected his "clients" against them assisting him and his family when he demanded so. The wealthy families acquired many clients, which came in handy in the competition with other aristocrats. It has been aptly pointed out that the system reminded a lot of the mafia world that Francis Ford Coppola portrayed in the Godfather films. Another well-known example is the connections between politicians and criminal networks in the American cities at the beginning of the 20th century. Just look at Chicago. While Johnny Torrio, Al Capone, Dion O'Banion, Hymie Weiss, and "Big Jim" Colosimo controlled the city's underworld, they colluded with corrupt and/or opportunistic politicians who wanted peace, money, and favorable election results. At the head, outwardly, of the political system of Chicago was the corrupt Mayor "Big Bill" Thompson, but the mastermind behind him was a wealthy and unaccountable immigrant named Fred "Poor Swede" Lundin. He was born in Västra Tollstad, East Goth, outside Hästholmen, had emigrated to the United States and worked his way up to become the Republican party boss in Chicago, where the many Swedish-Americans formed his core squad. For a period, Lundin even sat in Congress in Washington. It was one of Chicago's ironies that the Swede often referred to himself (with an Eastern Gothic accent) as "I am just a poor Swede" ("I am just a poor Swede"), even though he was rich as a troll. It was largely thanks to Lundin and his connections that Thompson was able to hang on to the mayor's office for years, all while the gangster empire spread to the streets. His private wealth rested on the production of juniper drink, which he claimed had general health-giving properties Lundin's power base was based on a combination of smart business and a client system that was not unlike the ancient Romans. His private wealth rested on the production of juniper drink, which he claimed had general health-giving properties. In addition, he profited by arranging jobs for supporters, especially in the city's public sector, if they would only vote as he wanted. The point was that the clients, after they were hired, had to pay a portion of the salary to the Abraham Lincoln Union, which was controlled by Lundin himself. All in all, Lundin earned large sums and built up a strong position of power over the business and the voting process. The Chicago gangsters' dependence on Lundin and Thompson became evident when the two men fell out in 1922–1923 and the "poor Swede's" days as party boss were over. The fact that Lundin was accused of embezzling tax money did not make matters better, although he managed to be acquitted. The disunity within the party favored the enemy, that is, the Democratic Party, which won the mayoral election. The new political leader in Chicago became William Emmett Dever, who refused to cooperate with the street kings. When the new mayor was sometimes referred to as "Decent" Dever, it was not meant ironically - he was indeed, unlike Lundin, an honorable man, and he demanded that the entire administration follow in his footsteps along the narrow but correct path of authority." https://www.svd.se/a/47n4Pg/harrisons-historia-svenska-gangstern-som-var-hjarnan-bakom-chicagos-undre-varld?fbclid=IwAR0hXV4Uw0KrNfnsXw-AbmtA1dv7vARV97nXV6fCtHzu3tLz8ezWHXwJK74

In the early 1920s, Hermann Göring had a love affair with Carin, his sister-in-law, and met Eric von Rosen, who had a swastika symbol. The swastika later appeared on the Nazi flag. Carin divorced her husband and married Göring. Göring's drug addiction led to his enrollment in a nursing home. He was later admitted to mental hospitals. Marcus Wallenberg Sr. and Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata played important roles in financing and supporting Mussolini's regime. The Bank for International Settlements was established in 1931, with Hjalmar Schacht as a key figure. The Wallenberg family and other players were involved in various financial and political activities during this time.

In early 1920 Hermann Göring has a love and drug affair including both the sister-in-law Carin and the swastika of Eric von Rosen. Later the same year as Hermann meets von Rosen in february the swastika suddenly appears on the Nazi flag and also wallenbergs the swedish oligarchy's corporation the giant ASEA (ABB) is using this insignia since 1890s (Motor 1 dated 1914) elmuseum.se/?/kraftverk/ki… The Swedish Society for Eugenics "The efforts of the racial hygienists all over the world are therefore fighting for everything to be done, that can be done, to prevent these inferior individuals from having offspring. They demand this in the name of science." Alice Olga Constance Wallenberg, unmarried Nickelsen, born 4 July 1858 in what was then Kristiania in Norway, died 1 March 1956 in Skeppsholm parish in Stockholm, was a Norwegian-Swedish donor. From 1878 she was married to the financier and politician Knut Wallenberg (1853–1938). Through their donation of 20 million kroner, The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation was created in 1917. Wallenberg was a board member of the Swedish Society for Eugenics (Racial Hygiene) Hermann Göring Hermann Wilhelm Göring was born in 1893 in the Bavarian town of Rosenheim. His father was a soldier, Hermann follows in his father's footsteps and at the age of sixteen he left the cadet school Berlin Lichterfelde as a course test and enlisted in the Prussian army. A few years later, he became one of Germany's first fighter pilots and commander of the infamous Richthofeneskader, the Red Baron's Air Squadron. Sweden and one snowy day. On February 20, 1920 Eric von Rosen had been visiting Stockholm and now absolutely wanted to return to Rockelstad. There was a heavy snowstorm that had forced SJ to cancel the train service. Eric went out to Svenska Lufttrafikbolaget at Lindarängen to ask Albin Ahrenberg or someone else to fly him to Rockelstad. The pilots thought he was crazy - you don't fly in a snowstorm that stops train traffic. They had a fairly newly hired German named Hermann Göring. He offered to fly the count. He needed the money to redeem his pawned overcoat. He started with one of the often accident-prone LVG planes, the only airline that could think of sacrificing the foolhardy flight with a guaranteed disaster outcome. By following the main train line from Stockholm to Sparreholm, and with Eric's instructions, Göring found his way to lake Båven and, despite the difficulties in assessing the height in the snowstorm, managed to put the plane on the ice. Darkness fell. That the pilot would continue to Stockholm was completely unthinkable. Göring was more than happy to accept an invitation to stay – he liked castles and wanted to show himself at home in them. Rockelstad was as if taken from one of his wishful dreams: powerful furniture, hunting trophies, weapons and family portraits on the walls, and in the hall the large battle bear. Before the meal, by the open fire, Göring saw the swastika on the fire dogs. All impressions faded when Eric's beautiful sister-in-law Carin – Mary's younger sister, came down the stairs to join the gentlemen. She was married to Nils Kantzow, an officer at the fortification. Göring immediately fell in love, and felt that Carin was the only woman he could imagine as a wife. They found each other immediately and the meeting resulted in Carin divorcing her husband Nils von Kantzow a few years later . The new couple married in Stockholm in 1923. During the dinner he aired Germany's misfortune, and was well supported by Eric who disapproved of the Versailles decree. Outside the storm - Odin rode his horse. It could be a reason for the German guest to make a bragel promise to restore Germany's glory and greatness. When wine had been offered over the ashes of Yggdrasil's roots, they returned to the fire in the hall, Eric took out his lute and sang. The next morning it was calm and clear and the love-struck Hermann Göring reluctantly realized that he had to leave Carin and fly back to Stockholm. He offered to first let Carl-Gustaf, who had stood admiring the aircraft for hours, and Birgitta, accompany him on a small tour. The boy wanted nothing more, but he was scared when he was strapped in and the airplane hurtled forward on its skis over the ice. Despite his fear, Carl-Gustaf decided to learn to fly himself. (Carl-Gustav von Rosen will be in a later article) Germany In November 1923, Carin and Hermann moved to Germany, the same year Göring participates in what came to be known as the beer hall coup in Munich. The coup would force out the incumbent government and the coup plotters would then take over power. It all failed and Göring was forced, despite gunshot wounds, to flee to Italy. For his injuries, he was treated with high doses of morphine, something that became an entry ticket to an escalating addiction. The drug addiction The couple moved back to Stockholm in 1924, where his addiction continued unabated. Financed by pawned jewelry and parts of their home on Odengatan. It goes so far that Göring threatened Carin with violence and it was ultimately what made her ensure that he was enrolled for detoxification at a private nursing home in Aspudden outside Stockholm. Detoxification began by slowly lowering his morphine dose, but Göring refused to carry out the intended treatment. Instead, he sees an opportunity to continue his addiction. Now with full access to the hospital's morphine supply and not getting what he wanted, he became furious. On several occasions he broke open medicine cabinets and became violent towards the staff who tried to stop him. The head of the nursing home, Anna Törnquist, soon realized that Göring could not stay. She wrote in a diary entry: "On Sunday, August 30, Captain Göring's demand for a larger dose of Eukodal became very strong, he absolutely demanded to receive the quantity, which he himself determined. At 5 pm on em, he broke open the medicine cabinet and took two syringes of 2% Eukodal solution himself. Six nurses could do nothing, and he behaved very menacingly. Captain Göring's wife, who was present, insisted most firmly that he would get what he asked for. She feared that the Captain in his rage might even kill someone. After permission from chief physician Eneström, he was given 0.10 Luminal x 4 and 0.75 (unit illegible) x 2 morphine." Monday, August 31st… After repeated injections, the patient remained in bed, constantly asking for more. When the police and firefighters arrived at 6 o'clock, he refused to go along. After much deliberation, the patient must be taken by force. True, he tried to resist, but soon found it futile. Katarina Hospital The head of the hospital then called the police, who, with the assistance of several firefighters and ambulance personnel, escorted the now restrained and loudly protesting Hermann Göring to Katarina Mental Hospital . Here he was placed in a locked ward for violent patients. At Katarina Hospital, the mental health worker Ruben Zetterlund is given responsibility for the new patient and in an interview in the 1970s he described his experiences of the meeting: "After arriving at the hospital, Hermann Göring demands a lawyer, he resists fiercely, while repeatedly roaring: “I'm not insane!” Journal entries described Göring as "difficult, discouraged, hysterical". He wears out the staff with constant demands. He believes he is the victim of a conspiracy where everyone close to him is bribed by the Jews. Göring also expressed a strong concern that the Germans would find out that he was admitted to a mental hospital in Sweden. Långbro Hospital He was several times admitted to Långbro hospital for his morphine addiction. Göring is transferred from Katarina Hospital to Långbro Hospital in September 1925, and he himself signs his application to be admitted. He was placed in Stora ("Great") Man's ward seven where only well-to-do patients were cared for, in an environment described as “ an old-fashioned gentlemen's club; leather armchairs, thick carpets and a scent of cigars.” When Göring returned to Germany and the Nazis took power, his former caretaker, Ruben Zetterlund, decided to secretly hand over medical records from Göring's time at Katarina Hospital to the Swedish Clarté Association, a socialist organization that opposes the Nazis on all fronts. The association copied the journals which were then published in newspapers all over the world. Nazi activism Like his brother Clarence , Eric von Rosen was an active Nazi during the 1930s and 1940s, including as one of the founders of the National Socialist Block , which had strong Nazi values. "… then I found in Germany exactly what I had hoped for for our own country: rebirth of Nordic spirit, Nordic essence in almost all areas of life /…/ the folk soul, it is something so important that if the folk soul dies, then the people die again also its physical descendants are however numerous. We have Greeks today who may be physically descended from the ancient Hellenes, but the Hellenic people have been extinct for a couple of thousand years. The Hellenic spirit is dead and in the same way I fear the Nordic spirit will be undermined, the Swedish spirit...„– Eric von Rosen, interviewed by Knut Hagberg in the Radiotjänst program "Svenska lynnen och landscape" on September 16, 1936 [ 13 ] The von Rosen swastika Eric von Rosen had been using a swastika as a personal owner's mark. He originally saw the symbol on runestones in Gotland, while at school. Knowing that the symbol signified good luck for the Vikings, he utilized the symbol and had it carved into all his luggage when going on an expedition to South America in 1901. It is also found in the hunting lodge he commissioned Ivar Tengbom and Ernst Torulf to build in what is now Jaktstuguskogen Nature Reserve, in 1909. Being a friend of Finland, in March 1918 he gave the newly independent state an aircraft, which signified the beginning of the Finnish Air Force. The Finnish Air Force Swedish count Eric von Rosen gave the Finnish White government its second aircraft, a Thulin Typ D.[3] Von Rosen, later one of the founding members of the Nationalsocialistiska Blocket ("National Socialist Bloc"), a Swedish National Socialist political party, and brother-in-law to Hermann Goering, had painted his personal good-luck charm on the Thulin Type D aircraft. This logo – a blue swastika, the ancient symbol of the sun and of good luck, which was back then still used with non-political connotations – gave rise to the insignia of the Finnish Air Force. The white circular background originated when the Finns painted over the advertisement from the Thulin air academy. The swastika was officially taken into use after an order by Commander-in-Chief C. G. E. Mannerheim on 18 March 1918. The FAF changed its aircraft insignia, which resembled the swastika of the Third Reich, after 1944 due to an Allied Control Commission decree, which prohibited fascist organizations. It nevertheless continues to feature in some unit emblems, unit flags and decorations, including on uniforms. In 2020, the BBC reported that the FAF had "quietly stopped" using the symbol in the emblem of the Air Force Command. Eric von Rosen likely was a tru nazi long before he met Göring in 1920, so which came first the hen or the egg. The financial set up for the 3d reich project and the hijacking of the BIS Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata and Marcus Wallenberg Sr. worked together in the early 20th century on various business projects. Together they founded the Swedish-Italian bank Banca Commerciale Italiana in 1912, which played an important role in financing Italian industrial development. Both Volpi di Misurata and Wallenberg Sr. sat on the bank's board of directors. Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata had an important relationship with Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator and leader of the Fascist Party. Volpi di Misurata was a prominent figure in Italian politics and business in the early 20th century and had close ties to Mussolini and his regime. Volpi di Misurata supported the Fascist movement and played a crucial role in Mussolini's rise to power. He served as finance minister in Mussolini's government from 1922 to 1925 and played a crucial role in implementing economic policies to support the regime's goals. As Finance Minister, Volpi di Misurata worked closely with Mussolini to shape Italy's economic policies, including efforts to modernize the country and strengthen its industries. He played a key role in industrializing Italy and promoting state intervention in the economy, in line with fascist economic principles. Volpi di Misurata was also involved in several high-profile projects during the Fascist regime, such as the reclamation and development of the Pontine Marshes in Italy and the establishment of the Italian colonial empire in Africa. In summary, Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata had a close relationship with Benito Mussolini and held an important position within his government. He worked with Mussolini to implement economic policies and played a key role in promoting the regime's economic agenda. It is also a coincidence that the same Marcus Wallenberg Sr. was an "Expert" for Hjalmar Schacht (Hitlers Banker), in the "reconstruction" of the German banking system. IG Farben, Investor AB, American Bosch Company. SEB, Warburg Bank, Ericsson, Crypto AG, SKF, SAAB The Bosch Affaire The Bush family The Dulles Brothers Thomas H. McKittrick etc. Marcus Wallenberg Sr. sat on the Credits Arbitration Committee with Thomas H. McKittrick and Franz Urbig, which solved disputes between German commercial banks. Marcus Wallenberg jr. taught McKittrick about the complicated international finances, and was an important mentor to the American throughout his presidency of the Bank for International Settlements, teaching him to play both sides simultaneously in the war, which would guarantee the banks and business empires future existence regardless of the outcome. McKittrick wrote to Marcus Wallenberg Sr. in 1943, During the three years I have been in Basel, your method of approaching international problems, of which I gained some understanding during our work together in Berlin, has helped me more than I can tell you in dealing with the intricate and delicate questions which have presented themselves to the Bank for International Settlements by reason of changes wrought by the war. The thought of following in your footsteps will provide spur to my will and a goal for my ambition. When people understand what was the basis for Communism, Fascism, "Terrorism" and Nazism - then it will be a real circus for the bankers. The perspective that takes this full circle back or lets just call it "the ring". (part 1, second tweet will be posted in line) cred to @MarcusLjunggre4 The Versailles system after WWI was already destined to collapse from the beginning, hence the participants Dawes and Young in the committee system, this the committee league (Dulles, Wallenberg, Schacht, Young, Dawes) had thus undoubtedly intended from the beginning, which it also, as is well known, later did; and then after this crash, a new financial system would be introduced, which was done in 1931, with the formation of the Bank for International Settlements, which still exists today. A key figure in the formation of the Bank for International Settlements was Hjalmar Schacht, who was one of the structural architects behind the creation of Hitler's regime, and who was in principle a purely Anglo-American agent, more precisely an agent of Bank of England chief Montague Norman Ring. As is well known, Adolf Hitler assumed the chancellorship of Germany in 1933, and was soon an absolute dictator. But less known is not infrequently that Montague Normand Ring, the head of the Bank of England, created Hitler's credits, with the help of his protégé Hjalmar Schacht who then held the position of Minister of Finance in Germany, and who thereby practically arranged the armament of Nazi Germany, and coordinated the strategies of Hitler's supporters the Rockefellers, Warburgs, Wallenbergs and Harrimans. Contemporaneous with this, other processes also begin, all of which aim at the same financial gain process as described above, and which through unlikely circumstances in history, which actually look more like thoughts, the same players are involved in all the sets. In 1931, so was the virtual dictator of the financial world, the Bank of England The manager, Montague Ring Normand, who, not coincidentally, was a former Brown Brothers partner, whose grandfather had also been the manager of Brown Brothers during the American Civil War. The Montague Norman Ring attracted the interest of the outside world to such an extent that authors such as Tolkien wrote entire trilogies by analogy about this monetary system. "There should only be one source of money; one fountainhead from which flows the nation's blood to vitalize commerce and industry, ensure economic equity and justice and safeguard the welfare of the people. . . . In other words, it has always been and still is our contention that the prerogative of creating and issuing the money of the nation should be restored to the state." ( [Tolkien, writing in "Candour" magazine] August 3/10, 1956, page 48) In 1931, when Prescott Bush headed the New York office, for Brown Brothers Harriman, Prescott had a partner who was this Montague Norman's intimate friend, Thatcher Brown. All legal work in this context was conducted by the brothers Allen and John Foster Dulles. The great financial collapse of 1929-31 driven by the Farben interests shook America, Germany, and Great Britain, it meant a weakening of everything, even of authorities. It also made a Mr. Prescott Bush more willing to do whatever was necessary to maintain his new position in the world. It was already completely certain at this crisis that the Anglo-Americans decided on the installation, of a Herr Hitler, and his governance in Germany, this through the new-found influence of their new banking system. W. Harriman & Co., well established in this type of business, and rich in assets from their German and Russian business operations, merged with the British-American investment house, Brown Brothers, in January 1931. A major contributor to Hitler in Europe with 34 million dollars, later between 1933 and 1936, was Badische Soda und Anillin AG. (an IGF company which is now called BASF), with Marcus Wallenberg among the shareholders, where the ownership is easily controlled but contradictions seem to prevail in the managing directorship, which is not directly highlighted. Where the documents in accordance with SOU 1999:20 were not available. On the other hand, in the Bosch investigation, the ownership of the then Badische Soda und Anillin AG from 1921 appears funny enough. Note 52 above is of great importance in several perspectives. JF Dulles was thus the same one who came to work as an agent for the Wallenberg family after the end of the war, when American authorities worked to freeze assets, in accordance with hostile collusion. At the same time in France, the international peace movement had a foreground figure in Aristide Briand, who in books printed until his death, is described as one of the most prominent men of French socialism. Briand discovered, however, that things look different from the benches of the authorities, than from the benches of the opposition One of Briand's great pathos was the issue of war reparations for Germany, where he participated, although opposed, in the same committee as Dulles, Schacht, Wallenberg, Young, Dawes, Harriman and there alone constituted opposition to the Swedish Wallenberg family and the others. Briand also received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1926.* The prize was shared with Gustav Stresemann, who is highlighted in the history books as a supporter of the war industrial complex? (Schacht, Wallenberg, Young, Dawes, Harriman, Frick, Bosch, Krupp) This Briand had now so timely for the war industry actually passed away, for reasons that are not easily apparent, and on the day of his funeral (Saturday 12/3 1932) it would not be better than for Ivar Krüger, the great lender to states, to kill himself , and this, moreover, in the mess that Paris is on this occasion. The looting was aimed at satisfying the needs and the opportunities for profits, which, for example, the German rearmament entailed. The major beneficiaries of this were the Wallenberg family, the Swedish state and the Movement together with the international military-industrial complex. Or as Hjalmar Schacht expressed himself in a letter to A. Hitler in November 1932. "It seems as if our attempt to collect a number of signatures from business circles for this purpose (your becoming Chancellor) was not altogether in vain" Regardless of this, there was actually an election in Germany on the 13th of March 1932, i.e. the day after, and it didn't turn out any better than that just as many votes that needed to disappear, actually did disappear (200,000 pieces approx.), which meant that the entire the election procedure had to be redone. In connection with this, perhaps one should remind that Mr. Hitler was not a German citizen at the beginning of March, and in this not even possible as a political official. However, this was not something that had been forgotten, even though previous attempts on the part of Minister of the Interior Frick had failed to make Herr Hitler a German citizen. This previous attempt was accomplished by attempting to appoint Herr Hitler as a police officer in Thuringia, which as a public office would automatically render him a citizen. This failed, however, as is well known, because even in times like these one was not allowed to become a policeman after being convicted and punished for a coup d'état, but in the time from January 1932 to what is thus left until the election in March 1932, succeed then Wilhelm Frick with his therefore completely illegal company, to make Herr Hitler a German citizen. This by succeeding in appointing Mr. Hitler as a member of the Federal governing body in the sub-republic of Brunswick during these basically two remaining months and thereby achieving the sought-after effect of citizenship. Ivar Kreuger who was in Paris to get a surety bond signed by those who later became the commission strangely enough, and who had been forced to this by an American bank, the National City Bank, founded by William Rockefeller and with a then head of by the name of C. Mitchell who thus refused the payment of the amount to the German loan. The Swedish representation completed its mission and when everything is ready, and other banks can withstand the payment, then Ivar Kreuger shoots himself? On May 25, 1933, the New York Times published a large article about the Senate hearings concerning improprieties and JP Morgan. It lists a few hundred names that have been found to be involved in financial crime. There were, among others, Charles Dawes in the (Dawes plan), the Harriman bank, General Pershing and Owen Young in the (Young plan) and, unfortunately, Charles Lindbergh. continued in next tweet

-Never let a good (constructed) crisis go to waste! Here's the dirty "art" of shortselling and insider trading on a global(ist) level explained in a very easily to grasp article and videoclip. As a note on Tedros and Gates is that they both are very connected to the owners/controllers of the Nasdaq stock market, the Wallenbergs. Coincidence of course. Also the 1929 crisis are mentioned which really are epic because that terrible event didn't "get" Kreuger, quite the opposite effect actually and ironically were the outcome, so Kreuger while he was trying to prevent the WW2, tragically was(had to be) found dead the 12 of March 1932. He simply was in the Wallenber familys way of doing what they had planned. But that's another story.

Rudolf Sonneborn and Israel Rudolf Sonneborn was a prominent American businessman and Jewish leader who played a key role in supporting the early development of the State of Israel. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1897, and he died in New York City in 1987. Sonneborn was a strong supporter of Zionism, and he was involved in a number of organizations that supported the Jewish people and the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. In 1919, he was a member of the Zionist Commission, which was a delegation sent by the World Zionist Organization to investigate the feasibility of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine. In the 1940s and 1950s, Sonneborn was a major fundraiser for the Israeli War of Independence and for the development of the new state. He was the president of the State of Israel Bond Drive from 1949 to 1951, and he was also involved in a number of other organizations that supported Israel. Sonneborn was a close friend of David Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel. Ben-Gurion once said that Sonneborn was "one of the greatest friends that Israel has ever had." Sonneborn's contributions to Israel were significant. He helped to raise millions of dollars for the new state, and he also helped to build public support for Israel in the United States. He was a true friend of Israel, and his legacy continues to inspire people today. In 1947, Sonneborn helped to purchase the Exodus 1947, a ship that was used to transport Jewish refugees to Palestine. The Exodus 1947 was intercepted by the British Royal Navy, and its passengers were deported back to Europe. However, the incident helped to raise awareness of the plight of Jewish refugees and the need for a Jewish state. In 1948, Sonneborn helped to organize the first shipment of arms to Israel. This shipment of arms was essential to Israel's victory in the War of Independence. In the 1950s, Sonneborn helped to raise money for the development of Israel's infrastructure, including roads, schools, and hospitals. Sonneborn's contributions to Israel were recognized by the Israeli government in 1978, when he was awarded the Israel Prize, the highest honor that Israel bestows on its citizens and non-citizens.

Water crises are a major threat to humanity, caused by climate change, poverty, and lack of water-use policies. Over 500 million people face acute water shortages, with Cape Town and India among the worst affected. The Guarani Aquifer and Earth Overshoot Day highlight the urgency. By 2050, 70% of the world's population will live in cities, increasing the demand for water, energy, and food.

"-It’s no surprise the World Economic Forum says water crises are the biggest threat facing humanity over the next decade. We understand the primary causes – climate change, poverty and inequality, and lack of rational water-use policies." Guido Jouret Chief Digital Officer, ABB ABB article: Here’s the challenge: Right now, more than 500 million people globally are facing acute drought water shortages. • Cape Town, South Africa, working around the clock to complete massive desalination plants, faces the imminent threat of its four million taps running dry. Nearby towns have water only on two “wash days” a week. • Sixty percent of India’s aquifers will be in critical condition within 20 years because farmers are drilling wells and using water faster than it’s replenished. • The Guarani Aquifer beneath Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil – the second largest body of underground fresh water on Earth – is under threat of collapse from excessive drilling. • Aug. 1, 2018 was the earliest Earth Overshoot Day since scientists started keeping track in 1968 – the point in the year when we consume more natural resources, water first among them, than the Earth can replenish in a year. Our current consumption rate is 1.7 planets per year. • Within the next 30 years, there were will be 1.2 billion more people on the planet. Eighty percent of that swollen population will live in cities. The world’s food system will require 50 percent more water; communities, cities and industry will need 60 percent more; and energy production will use 85 percent more water, according to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. It’s no surprise the World Economic Forum says water crises are the biggest threat facing humanity over the next decade. We understand the primary causes – climate change, poverty and inequality, and lack of rational water-use policies. What we need are solutions to provide clean water for our growing global population. Allow me to suggest a four-fold approach that’s as simple as collecting rooftop rainwater, and as technically challenging as using the mighty Hoover Dam of the American West as the world’s largest energy storage battery. Enabling most of these ideas is the growing power and capability of the globally connected, digital Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). full article: https://search.abb.com/library/Download.aspx?DocumentID=8VZZ001298T0001&LanguageCode=en&DocumentPartId=&Action=Launch web page https://new.abb.com/power-generation/in-control-water What makes a smart city smart? A smart city integrates its utilities and services into a unified system to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and lower its carbon footprint. — Challenges and responsibilities Half the world lives in cities. By 2050 that figure will rise to 70 percent, boosted by the 2.2 billion more people who will live on the planet at mid-century. Cities generate 80 percent of global gross domestic product and swallow 75 percent of natural resources, producing around 80 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. And as most cities are situated on coastlines, they are at high risk from the impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels and powerful coastal storms. Clearly, cities face many challenges. As cities grow, they will need to boost their economies to sustain their booming populations. They must expand and renew critical infrastructure – for water and wastewater, energy, heating or cooling and transportation – while reducing their use of natural resources and cutting emissions. They must compete with other cities, domestically and internationally, for investment and talent. And they must deliver essential services like firefighting, policing and public safety to ensure the wellbeing of their citizens. In response to these challenges, cities are setting themselves goals to improve their sustainability, quality of life and economic growth. Becoming smart and digitalized - especially in the use of energy, water and essential services - is the key to achieving these goals. Vision, strategy and goals A smart city provides quality of life for its citizens. It makes itself resilient to risk by driving sustainable economic growth and by integrating its utilities and services into a unified system to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and lower its carbon footprint. These utilities and services include power, water, wastewater, heating and cooling, as well as e-mobility infrastructure for vehicles, automation for factories and buildings, and networks for ultra-high-speed broadband. Digitalizing smart cities separately, without a unifying vision, achieves limited results. The best outcomes are attained when they are coordinated in a smart city vision, with a common strategy and with clear goals based on the input of multiple stakeholders, including citizens, businesses and service providers. full article: https://new.abb.com/power-generation/in-control-water/what-makes-a-smart-city-smart web page https://new.abb.com/power-generation/in-control-water ABB in top 10 companies of “Change the World” list ABB has been named #8 in Fortune magazine’s “Change the World” rankings for the company’s efforts to speed up adoption of clean-energy electric transportation.

Fortune also lauded Reliance Jo, a telecommunications provider for providing the “digital oxygen” of smartphones and broadband to more than 200 million subscribers in India in less than two years. ABB’s CEO, Ulrich Spiesshofer said the Fortune ranking was validation of the company’s leadership and commitment to e-mobility as a way to decouple global economic growth from climate change. ABB, whose e-mobility portfolio includes charging and power solutions for trains, buses and ships, has developed fast-chargers for cars that can add as much as 200 kilometers (nearly 125 miles) of cruising range in as little as 8 minutes.

The Iranian nuclear program is a controversial program that aims to develop nuclear power for civilian use. There are concerns that Iran could use its nuclear technology to develop nuclear weapons. In 2015, Iran and six world powers reached an agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which placed limits on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. However, the United States withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018, and Iran has since resumed some of its nuclear activities.

The Wallenberg-Schwab-Nuclear Connection: Wallenberg's involvement in heavy water and turbines for the US Fat Boy nuke, along with Eugen Schwab's role in Escher-Wyss Ravensburg, a "National Socialist Model Company," raise questions. The Wallenbergs rejected funding for nuclear energy in 1906. Lise Meitner's German colleagues from KWI/PTB worked on the Manhattan Project. The presence of the Red Cross protected Ravensburg during the war. ABB Atom's sale of nuclear tech to Iran and North Korea echoes historical patterns. The Hapsburgs stole V1/V2 rocket blueprints for Allen Dulles. Investor, Vanguard, and BlackRock's involvement is not surprising.

The Wallenberg-Schwab-Nuclear Connection Wallenberg and their oligarchy US friends playing both sides of the war .. Phosphatbolaget history, heavy water capsule Eugen Schwab and Wallenberg, heavy water and heavy turbines for the US Fat Boy nuke, and yes it's Klaus (WEF) Schwab's father, and yes Klaus is the protégé of Kissinger. Furthermore the Wallenbergs was on top of this from the get go, the letter from the brilliant Birkeland to them in 1906, when he asked for founding to go further with his discovery of the nuclear energy power, the Wallenbergs turned it down, of course. In conclusion since the nazis where present at Ljungaverk and the Wallenbergs where deeply involved in the IG Farben and the 3d reich project, and the scientist they put in place in 1907 at the PTB under Emil Warburg... Lise meitner and Hahn later research on the KWI, The Kaiser-Wilhelm institute, maybe the nazis had a nuclear weapons development program, especially if we consider the V1, V2 rockets and look at the coming years trough the paper clip, with the same nazi crew but in the US. https://x.com/Arsenalsgatan/status/1720505961440330157?s=20 Still Birkeland died of a overdose barbital at age 50, all alone in a hotel rom, except for a revolver on his bedside table. /bombadil https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/6209697?fbclid=iwar0amsupnqjfjnx3zyr6jcko6chwvyxnon5illoj9wzqfj0n1m927x4urlc Escher-Wyss Ravensburg branch the title of “National Socialist Model Company” Speaking of National Socialist model companies, it was a virtue even in Sweden, it is said, because if you wanted to trade with Germany, you had to become a model company and obey the doctrine of exclusion of some Jews but not others, look at the Wallenberg - Warburg love story and compare it to the Von Rosen - Göring and the Swedish Eugenics institute with Wallenberg on the board. https://x.com/Arsenalsgatan/status/1712868555186663476?s=20 Turbines for heavy water factories. It would be a coincidence if it were true and they also ended up in Sweden, which happened produced the heavy water in large facilities built in to the rock, at Ljungaverk. What if, these very special equipment necessary for the heavy water manufacturing even found their way to the US based Manhattan project that was so secret the congress was not informed, perhaps via the gentle care of Swedish oligarchy interest, that likely had these in the Ljungaverk underground facilities. The thought is actually not far fetched since Lise Meitner's German friends and colleagues from KWI/PTB actually ended up working and solving the trigger from Lises theory at the Manhattan project under Oppenheimer. /Bombadil Eugen Schwab He looks by coincidence of course, seemingly to be scrubbed from history but some are trying to piece it together and it's going to be really annoying for the oligarchy and their professors/experts anyway if it holds up to scrutiny, and now in 2023, it likely does. ”In the pre-war years of the 1930s leading up to the German annexation of Poland, Ravensburg’s Escher-Wyss factory, now managed directly by Klaus Schwab’s father, Eugen Schwab, continued to be the biggest employer in Ravensburg. Not only was the factory a major employer in the town, but Hitler’s own Nazi party awarded the Escher-Wyss Ravensburg branch the title of “National Socialist Model Company” while Schwab was at the helm. The Nazis were potentially wooing the Swiss company for cooperation in the coming war, and their advances were eventually reciprocated. The Anomaly Ravensburg was an anomaly in wartime Germany, as it was never targeted by any Allied airstrikes. The presence of the Red Cross, and a rumoured agreement with various companies including Escher-Wyss, saw the allied forces publicly agree to not target the Southern German town. Ravensburg was not classified as a significant military target throughout the war and, for that reason, the town still maintains many of its original features. However, much darker things were afoot in Ravensburg once the war began. Eugen Schwab continued to manage the “National Socialist Model Company” for Escher-Wyss, and the Swiss company would aid the Nazi Wermacht produce significant weapons of war as well as more basic armaments. The Escher-Wyss company was a leader in large turbine technology for hydroelectric dams and power plants, but they also manufactured parts for German fighter planes. They were also intimately involved in much more sinister projects happening behind the scenes which, if completed, could have changed the outcome of World War II. So I wonder if US located Hans Jurgen Wyss may have something to do with this company via family lines? Side track, just to point on operations; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansj%C3%B6rg_Wyss Wyss, a perfect paper clip pattern non-profits and NGOs... the pattern today is not so much religiously conditioned but rather based on how much you can mislead people so that they skillfully censor and exclude others who dare to question. In any case, the patterns are easy to see in what is happening now, but it is more difficult to sift through what is worth spending time on or not. I do wonder or if Hans Jurgen Wyss and Claus Scwab know each other, or maybe it's not anything that matters... Wallenberg - Eugene Schwab - Rumsfeld One thing that is certain is that we have a family here in the failed state of Sweden that knows a thing or two about nuclear power, turbines (ABB/ASEA) and telecom and that we had a fugitive Judinna, Lise Meitner who lived much longer than anyone could imagine given her choice of profession. Nuclear power ABB Atom and D.Rumsfeld. https://x.com/Arsenalsgatan/status/1710676089738063915?s=20 So when Rumsfeld at the board of ABB Atom sells nuclear tech to Iran and North-Korea, you could say that history repeats itself without any hesitation, this is the industrial oligarchy strategical planning playbook 101. Ironic rocket-science Investor, vanguard, blackrock its not rocket-science even if it actually is rocket-science, fun fact is the by WW1 overthrown Hapsburgs created resistance and spying on the V1/V2 rocket programs and stole the blueprints from the soon to be paper-clipped nazis, and... handed them over to Allen Dulles (OSS), the best handy man of the Wallenbergs and their oligarchy friends, as @elonmusk says the most ironic outcome is the most likely. /Bombadil Investor, vanguard, blackrock https://x.com/Arsenalsgatan/status/1713513826996412491?s=20

Banksters financing the 3d reich project by the Swedish, UK and US oligarchy "This article aims at explaining the Nazis IG Farben, the industrial engine behind the WW2, the prerequisite is that wallenberg is reforming the german banking system prior to the genocide and WW2" /Bombadil Dulles brothers and Hitler (Yes that is the US secretary of state and CIA boss that JFK sacked) On January 4, 1933, Hitler met with the Dulles brothers at Baron Kurt von Schroder's home in Cologne to guarantee Hitler the funds needed to install him as Chancellor of Germany. Warburg bank Kuhn, Loeb Co The Dulles brothers were there as legal representatives of the Warburg bank Kuhn, Loeb Co., which had extended large short-term credits to Germany and therefore needed guarantees for repayment. On 11 June 1934, Bank of England Chairman Montague Norman and German Riksbank Governor Hjalmar Schacht met secretly in Badenweiler in the Black Forest and again in October 1934 to guarantee loans to National Socialist Germany. JH Stein Bank and Schroder Bank The JH Stein Bank of Cologne and the London and New York branches of Schroder Bank were correspondent banks often involved in transactions throughout the Hitler regime. Baron Kurt von Schroder was a member of the most influential men's club in Germany, such as the Thule Society, which had helped Hitler's career with its start in 1919. Thule society Sweden https://x.com/Arsenalsgatan/status/1697579864440582578?s=20 He was also the head of all ITT's German subsidiaries, as SS Senior Group Leader, sat on the board of Deutsche Reichsbank and in many other high-ranking positions. The same ITT paid out monthly reparations to Heinrich Himmler's Gestapo and the SS, but who actually footed the bill can be read in the book "Appeasement Before, During and After the war" by Paul Einzig on page 78. Towards the end of 1936, a new company in London under the name of 'Compensation Brokers Ltd.' which was controlled by the banking house of J. Henry Schroder & Co. and Hambro's Bank Ltd. with the stated purpose of assisting in barter transactions between Germany and various parts of the English Empire." Chairman of J .Henry Schroder & Co at the time was Allen Dulles! Wallenbergs British bank of northern commerce and Hambro's Bank Ltd. The British lawyer from Slaughter & May and Marcus Wallenberg's underling and business partner Charlie Hambros - through the merger of Enskilda bank's "British bank of northern commerce" with Hambros bank in 1921 - approached Henry Sporborg, who was in charge of Swedish- British trade relations during WW2 are considered to be the architect behind the stay behind army known as Operation Gladio, which in turn was coordinated from Sweden. Gladio short https://x.com/Arsenalsgatan/status/1673432538616852481?s=20 A side note is that Ian Flemming's character James Bond was loosely based on a certain William Stephensson who not only borrowed money from Hambro Bank under Charlie Hambro's supervision to buy up England's largest cement producer - luckily when... -, but also came on the brilliant idea of ​​industrial espionage after a visit to Nazi Germany just before the war. He named the front company IMT - International mining trust - and was moved to Stockholm as if by a not too pronounced coincidence. William Stephenson was later sent to the United States as Winston Churchill's extended arm, where his most informal mission was to make American public opinion more favorable to joining the most predicted war on the side of the Allies, and as a secondary goal to see that the United States created an intelligence service. To help him with this, he enlisted an old acquaintance since WW1 William Donovan who was an old classmate of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and at most the same one who laid the foundation for what would later become the predecessor of the CIA, i.e. the OSS. He, in turn, recruited as early as 1940 under the pretense that the United States would soon be drawn into the war - this being 2 years before Roosevelt officially approved the OSS - a certain Allen Dulles from the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, who since the 20th century had helped to create the corporate cartels that are still in control of the world today, and yes they also represented Wallenberg's (SEB) ENSKILDA bank. Already in 1940, Donovan knew that the United States would join the war, even though the reason for their entry would first take place in 1941 at Pearl Harbour. A highly planned "false flag" at the behest of a certain William Forbes Sempill, Winston Churchill, FDR. Sempill was awarded the Swedish Order of the North Star in 1956! William Stephenson soon afterwards became Allen's mentor. Pearl Harbour https://x.com/Arsenalsgatan/status/1698055603027911072?s=20 The fact that Charlie Hambro later ended up as head of the British intelligence department SOE until 1943 and then ended up overseeing the "Manhattan project" on behalf of England says a lot about where the operational strategic planning came from and what interests were operating in the shadows without to be seen. Hitler's supporters As we know, Adolf Hitler assumed the chancellorship of Germany in 1933, and was then quite soon an absolute and full-fledged dictator, i.e. financed and promoted by other financial interests than those that are obvious and reported to the people. But it is also less known that Montague Normand Ring (Collet), the head of the Bank of England, was the one who created Hitler's credits, with the help of his protégé Hjalmar Schacht, who at the time actually held the position of finance minister in Germany, and who thereby practically arranging the armament of Nazi Germany, and in this also coordinating the strategies of Hitler's supporters the Rockefellers, Warburgs, Ford, Wallenbergs and Harrimans. Ford and Wallenberg https://x.com/Arsenalsgatan/status/1696822011446894999?s=20 At the same time as this, other further processes also begin, all of which aim at the same financial gain process as described above, and which through unlikely circumstances in history, which actually probably look more like thoughts in retrospect, because despite almost supernatural, it is also the same player in all sets of the charade. Harriman, Prescott Bush, Montague Ring Normand In 1931, so was the virtual dictator of the financial world, the Bank of England The manager, Montague Ring Normand who was in post between 1920 and 1944, who by the way was not a coincidence, was a former partner of Brown Brothers, whose grandfather had also been the manager of Brown Brothers during the American Civil War, where the Bus(h) family was part of "the original merchants of death". Montague Norman Ring attracted the interest of the outside world both in secret and to such an extent that authors such as Tolkien famously wrote entire trilogies by analogy about the creation of this monetary system and its expected consequences for humanity. "There should only be one source of money; one fountainhead from which flows the nation's blood to vitalize commerce and industry, ensure economic equity and justice and safeguard the welfare of the people. . . . In other words, it has always been and still is our contention that the prerogative of creating and issuing the money of the nation should be restored to the state.” (JRR. Tolkien, writing in "Candour" magazine, August 3/10, 1956, page 48) In 1931, when Prescott Bush headed the New York office, for Brown Brothers. Harriman, Prescott had a partner who was this Montague Norman's intimate friend in the bay, his name was Thatcher Brown The great financial collapse of 1929-31 driven by the IG Farben interests shook America, Germany, and Great Britain, it meant a weakening of everything, even of authorities. It also made a Mr. Prescott Bush more willing to do whatever was necessary to maintain his new place in this world. It was already absolutely certain at this crisis that the Anglo-Americans, the later petrodollar hegemonists, had decided on the installation, of this Herr Hitler, and his governance in Germany, this through the introduction of their new banking system's newfound influence. W. Harriman & Co., had a well-established reputation for operating in this type of business, and also rich in assets from their German and Russian business operations, and merged with the British-American investment house, Brown Brothers, in January 1931. A major contributor to Hitler in Europe with 34 million dollars, later between 1933 and 1936, was Badische Soda und Anillin AG. (an IGF company which is now called BASF), with Marcus Wallenberg among the major registered shareholders, where the ownership is easily controlled but contradictions seem to prevail in the executive directorship, which is not directly emphasized against the background of history. Where the documents in accordance with SOU 1999:20 were not available in this. On the other hand, in the Bosch investigation, the ownership of the then Badische Soda und Anillin AG from 1921 appears funny enough. Note 52 above is also of great and central importance from several perspectives. JF Dulles was thus at most the same one who came to act as an agent for the Wallenberg family after the end of the war, when American authorities implemented the freezing of assets, in accordance with the law on enemy coordination. Briand and Kreuger At the same time in France, the international peace movement had a foreground figure in Aristide Briand, who in books printed until his death, is described as one of the most prominent men of French socialism. Briand discovered, however, that things look different from the benches of power's responsibility than from the benches of the opposition. Realpolitik's melody had already been tuned in the political orchestra pits One of Briand's great pathos was the question of war reparations for Germany, where he participated, albeit counterproductively, in the same committee as Dulles, Schacht, Wallenberg, Young, Dawes, Harriman and there alone constituted opposition to the Swedish Wallenberg family and the others. Briand also received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1926. The prize was shared with Gustav Stresemann, who is highlighted in the history books as a supporter of the war industrial complex? (Schacht, Wallenberg, Young, Dawes, Harriman, Frick, Bosch, Krupp) Briand had now so timely for the war industry actually passed away, for reasons that are not easily apparent, and on the day of the funeral on the Saturday 12/3 1932 it would now be no better than that Ivar Krüger, the great lender to states, suitable enough for the war industry and the banks allegedly committed suicide by accident, and this, moreover, in the mess that Paris is at this time, the murder investigation is more intellectually dead even before it begins, than that Nero never burned Rome in order to blame the Christians The Kreuger affair The looting of Kreuger's empire was aimed at satisfying the needs and the opportunities for profits, which, for example, the German rearmament entailed. The major beneficiaries of this were the Wallenberg family, the Swedish state and the Movement together with the Bank-controlled international military-industrial complex.. Or as Hjalmar Schacht expressed himself in a letter to Hitler in November 1932. "It seems as if our attempt to collect a number of signatures from business circles for this purpose (your becoming Chancellor) was not altogether in vain" Regardless of this somewhat tragicomic statement in retrospect, there were actually elections in Germany on the 13th of March 1932, i.e. the day after, and it didn't turn out any better than that exactly as many votes as needed to disappear, actually disappeared ( 200,000 pieces approx), which meant that the entire German election procedure had to be redone. In connection with this, perhaps the reader with a good memory should be reminded that Herr Hitler was not a German citizen at the beginning of this month of March in 1932, he was, as everyone knows, an Austrian and therefore not even possible to be elected as a German politician executives. However, this was not something that had been forgotten, even though in previous attempts on the part of Minister of the Interior Frick, they had actually already failed once to make Herr Hitler a German citizen. This previous attempt was accomplished by attempting to appoint Herr Hitler as a police officer in Thuringia, which as a public office would automatically result in automatic citizenship for this Austrian corporal from Moravian Bohemia. This attempt in 1925 failed, however, as is well known, because even in times like these one could not become a policeman after being convicted and punished for a coup d'état, but within the time from January 1932 to what is thus left until the election on the 13th March 1932, so then Wilhelm Frick succeeds with his thus completely unconstitutional enterprise in making Herr Hitler an eligible German citizen. This maneuver, not quite successful for world peace, was done by succeeding in appointing this Herr Hitler as a member of the Federal Governing Body of the Sub-Republic of Brunswick during these basically two remaining months and thereby achieving the sought-after effect of citizenship. In parallel with this, the following occurred. Ivar Kreuger who was in Paris to get a surety bond signed by those who later became the commission to academically investigate his blissful financial demise, oddly enough, and who had been forced to do so by an American bank, the National City Bank, founded by William Rockefeller and with a manager at the time named C. Mitchell who thus refused to pay the amount to the German loan. The Swedish representation completed its mission and signed the guarantee for Kreuger & Toll and when everything is ready, and banks other than National City Bank can instead step in to assist with the payment, then the same evening Ivar Kreuger allegedly committed suicide the 12th of march 1932? American IG and Swedish IG On May 25, 1933, the New York Times published a large article about the Senate hearings concerning improprieties and JP Morgan. It lists a few hundred names that have been found to be involved in financial crime. There were, among others, Charles Dawes in the (Dawes plan), the Harriman bank, General Pershing and Owen Young in the (Young plan) and unfortunately also a Mr. Charles Lindbergh. A director of the National City Bank, named C. Mitchell, was also found among them. This Mitchell is precisely the same person who was approached by his company colleague in American IG and its Bosch part, i.e. district chief Marcus Wallenberg, who was sent on behalf of the government to make a request for a currency credit of 75 million dollars on behalf of Kreuger & Toll before the abolition of the gold standard. This is clear from the Bosch investigation note 52, which also describes the well-buried Swedish IG Farben, whose presence has been swept so far under the carpet that the dirt comes out on the other side. Incidentally, one can say without hesitation that this was not exactly Mr. Mitchell's only board assignment. The Directors of American IG at 1930: American I,G. Carl BOSCH German FORD MOTOR CO.

Swedish maneuvers Sweden would provide a five-year government credit of SEK 100 million to the Soviet Union to enable Soviet orders for Swedish industry in 1933, it was not a peace industry. However, during the parliamentary proceedings in the spring of 1934, the agreement had met with strong criticism, i.a. from former Prime Minister Felix Hamrin ("one country receives government loans, the other country's goods are blocked"). Hamrin was perhaps a morally not completely fallen figure, but not a major realpolitik strategic businessman. The purpose of this, however, was something completely different, i.e. completely in accordance with the already common tradition for Swedish politicians. Through the restrictions imposed on exports to Germany through the export relationship to other countries, by the allies, one could, with this loan offer and its size in relation to exports to Russia, claim significantly increased export levels for Germany. Wallenbergs From the Nuremberg Trials: "For the period of transition from 1919 up to rearmament, AK [Krupp] had undertaken various tasks, in order to keep up the Company's activity in the field of artillery, in the sense of observing activities in that field in the rest of the world (relation: BOFORS) and then also for the production of artillery material, within and to a certain extent also beyond, the limitation established by the peace dictate" The fact that Marcus Laurentius Wallenberg was then a delegate in the trade delegation for the trade agreement, Sweden England 1916-18, was perhaps not quite so important in this context. What, on the other hand, was very important and significant, was that he was actually chairman of the committee for the burden of German industry, this then gave an opportunity to influence the collection of damages from the outside world. This committee was made up of the same participants that basically all the committees were made up of, committees that had some financial influence and value on matters concerning this subject. (Schacht, Wallenberg, Young, Dawes, Harriman, Frick, Bosch, Krupp) Hardly a coincidence either, he was also at and after Versailles, chairman of the Committee for arranging Germany's natural deliveries (import, of ore from Sweden for example, and export of coal and coke which made up the payment), according to the Dawes Plan 1924-25, the that is, which determined which circumstances would exist in the case of in-kind deliveries in both the purchase and sale stages. So based on the fact that if the price of ore increased, then the possible margin of compensation that could be extracted became smaller for the injured party, so unless sooner or later it would be discovered that the ore trading relationship with Sweden and its incomprehensible regulations, really only constituted a facade for the concealment of a theft of the war injured party money, the situation must absolutely be revised and changed. This was understood by both Wallenberg and the social democrat establishment in Sweden. That Marcus Laurentius Wallenberg in this situation was also an arbitrator in disputes between the German government and the repair committee, which was responsible for the Allies' establishment of a functional infrastructure in 1925-30, must have been a pure gift from above, or probably could not have been precisely this at all. Marcus Laurentius Wallenberg was also the member responsible for the interpretation of the Young plan from 1930. Which was a financing model in which Swedish Ivar Kreuger was involved as financier. And there, as described, also sat this Owen Young, whose Young plan was preceded by the Dawes plan, but with the same purpose, therefore. And in 1931-34, this Marcus Laurentius was the chairman of the arbitration court that dealt with short German credits during the establishment of the German Moratorium, or accord in modern terms, which was established in 1932 in Lausanne. Where a decisive effort was therefore to ensure that the German debts to France were repaid first. This meant that there was room for France to lend the money to Sweden, which in principle simply sent Marcus Wallenberg d.ä. as negotiator to his own son, who willingly lent the money he himself had seen to France. Business ethics thus at a level that has never been used again before or since. Furthermore, the possibility of using the German parts of the Kreuger and Young loans to act as balance items for accounting purposes was also used, this in addition to what is described below. Furthermore, Marcus Laurentius was also acting expert for, strangely enough, the German government and the described Hjalmar Schacht when the 1931-32 reconstruction of the German banking system was undertaken. So who wanted what with Ivar Kreuger and why, it turns out like an old fence what happened was the banking conglomerate's only real possible choice. The purpose of the credit was thus to enable the Kreuger Group to meet the stresses that the release from the gold standard was expected to bring. The petition was rejected with some naturalness, one might say. American IG and IG Farben Another and some additional relations in this describe in below; The remaining four members of American IG's board were real prominent American citizens and members of Wall Street's financial elite. Mr. CE Mitchell, member of the National City Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; Edsel B. Ford, president of Ford Motor Company; WC Teagle, CEO Standard Oil of New Jersey; Paul Warburg creator of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and further board member of the Bank of Manhattan Company. -"IG Farben was Hitler and Hitler was IG Farben, although he himself may not have fully realized this from the start." (Senator Homer T. Bones to the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, June 4, 1943.) In the twilight of the war just before WW2 ended, the German chemical complex IG Farben was not only the largest chemical manufacturing company in the world, it was the largest company throughout the world, this with extraordinary political and economic power and influence within the Hitlerian Nazi state. IG Farben has been described as almost a state within a state, that issue is multifaceted. The formation of the Farben cartel dates back to 1925, this is when its political act began its more carefully planned organic political growth, which was organized by Hermann Schmitz (with Wall Street's financial assistance, after all, as Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's representative) who created a super giant out of the chemical business out of six already giant German chemical companies — Badische Anilin, Bayer, Agfa, Hoechst, Weiler-ter-Meer, and Griesheim-Elektron. These companies were merged into the future Inter-nationale Gesellschaft Farbenindustrie IG or IG Farben for short. Twenty years later, the same Hermann Schmitz stood accused at a trial in Nuremberg for both inciting world war and a number of different crimes, not least war crimes involving the IG Farben cartel. To act but not be seen, esse non videri, the truth was buried in the archives, and these then disappeared after a while, best in class on the subject of disappearing archives, was Norsk Hydro, which nearly succeeded in destroying all documentation. https://x.com/MrSnakemore/status/1683789950163070978?s=20 Swedish IG Farben with Herbert Lickfett, was not exactly much worse in terms of success in this performance category. (The reader is invited to google Herbert Lickfett to experience the results.) It is these American connections within Wall Street that concern us in this even today. Warburgs the FED and IG Farben Without the capital assistance and complicity of Wall Street, there would not have been an IG Farben at all. And no Adolf Hitler or WW2 either. German bankers within the Farben Aufsichsrat (Board of Companies) in the late 1920s included the Hamburg banker Max Warburg, whose brother Paul Warburg was thus the founder of the Federal Reserve System in the United States. Not only through the happy circumstances of chance, Paul Warburg was also a board member of American IG, Farben's wholly owned American subsidiary. In addition to Max Warburg and Hermann Schmitz's guidance and warm hands, the creation of the Farben empire also included Carl Bosch, Fritz ter Meer, Kurt Oppenheim and George von Schnitzler, Hjalmar Schacht and Montague Norman Ring All of these except the bankers Max Warburg, Hjalmar Schacht and Montague Norman were prosecuted as war criminals after the Second World War, but people on the winning side were so rarely prosecuted, even at that time and not even bankers. https://x.com/DrDMartinWorld/status/1685047193621684224?s=20 Cred to@MarcusLjunggre4@defria_se

In 2019, Jacob Wallenberg met with Li Qiang, a powerful member of China's Communist Party, as part of the International Business Leaders Advisory Council. The Wallenberg Group's companies have seen significant growth in China, with revenues surpassing SEK 130 billion in 2018. However, China's recent threat to restrict economic cooperation could have consequences for the Wallenberg Group and Swedish shareholders. The family's close ties to China have raised concerns about human rights, but they argue that economic development will lead to increased civil liberties. The Wallenbergs emphasize the importance of dialogue and maintaining contact with Chinese leaders.

SvD 2019 Wallenberg on China: "Nothing to gain from confrontation" 2021 China on Wallenberg; -"We are very concerned about a few swedes that in a brutal way interferes in Chinas internal affairs" And (2023) sends a golden bridge to Stockholm city. Article SVD 2019; On Monday, October 21 this year – just a day after thousands of protesters clashed with police in Hong Kong in yet another showdown. – Jacob Wallenberg sat down in a beige, throne-like armchair in a room in Shanghai. Next to him was another man in a suit in a similar chair. The whole thing resembled a summit meeting between two world leaders. Which it, in its way, was. The man is not just anyone. His name is Li Qiang, he is the secretary of the Communist Party in Shanghai. As a member of the party's 25-member Politburo, the party's governing body, he is one of the most powerful men in all of China. The American Maurice R Greenberg, former head of the American insurance giant AIG, was also present at the meeting. The event is in the picture. It is published on the online edition of the state-owned Shanghai Daily together with a short summary: "Li thanked the two guests for their participation in the creation of IBLAC and their valuable advice and suggestions for Shanghai's social and economic development." IBLAC stands for International Business Leaders Advisory Council and is a council of global business leaders linked to the mayor of Shanghai. Jacob Wallenberg and Maurice Greenberg were in town for the council's annual meeting. Which was also the reason for the meeting with Li Qiang. It is not unusual for Jacob Wallenberg to meet a person from China's top management. Wallenberg has been a member of IBLAC for many years, and was also its chairman for a period. Contacts with high-level Chinese political leaders have been important for many larger companies that have operated in China over the years, says Kristina Sandklef, senior China advisor at the consulting firm Consilio International. - In general, it is useful to have political contacts when conducting business in China. It makes life easier in every way. It can be enough to have a picture in the reception with a representative from your own company together with a local leader of the Communist Party, so that visitors know you have contacts, says Kristina Sandklef. According to Oscar Almén, researcher and China expert at Total Defense's research institute FOI, the role of politics in Chinese business life has increased in recent years. - Given that politics is so present in China's closed system, and has become even more present during Xi Jinping's time in power, it is clear that political contacts are generally good to have for foreign companies, says Oscar Almén, who also recently published an examination of Chinese corporate purchases in Sweden. Exactly how the Wallenberg family's political contacts have helped the group's companies is difficult to determine. Clearly, China today is of enormous importance to the Wallenberg Group and its companies, and has been so for several years. In 2018 alone, six of the Wallenberg group's largest industrial companies had revenues in China of over SEK 130 billion, according to SvD :s calculations. That is 80 percent more than the same six companies brought in from China in 2010. These are listed companies that are owned in several stages, via the listed management company Investor and the unlisted FAM, which in turn is owned and controlled by the Wallenberg foundations. FAM and Investor own shares with large voting rights, which gives the family and its representatives a leading position in the companies. For several of the companies, China is today the second largest market. In the workshop giant Atlas Copco, Chinese customers accounted for 18 percent of sales last year. In ABB, the same figure was 15 percent. In the ball bearing manufacturer SKF, 16 percent. This can be compared with the share of Sweden's exports to China, which in 2018 was 4.7 percent. Admittedly, the mentioned companies are global and China represents the equivalent of 19 percent of the world economy, calculated as GDP. But it is still clear that China is a far more important market for the Wallenberg family's company than for several other Swedish global companies. For example, the China share of Sandvik's sales was only 7 percent and of Assa Abloy's 6 percent. This hospital visit subsequently happened to create a special bond between me and Jiang Zemin. Should China's latest threat, as formulated by ambassador Gui Congyou last week in an interview with Göteborgs-Posten, to "restrict exchange and cooperation in economics and trade" with Sweden become serious, it could have major consequences for the Wallenberg group's companies. And thus for the Swedish shareholders and pension savers who have money invested in the companies. Swedish occupational pension companies, for example, have tens of billions invested in the Wallenberg group, and are thus dependent on the income from China. In Investor alone, the civil servants' Alecta and the labor movement's AMF are second and third on the list of largest owners after the Wallenberg foundations. Alecta's pensioners today own Investor shares worth SEK 23.6 billion, and AMF :s pensioners and fund unit owners SEK 17.7 billion, according to the ownership service Holdings. Peter Wallenberg receives President Hu Jintao during his visit to Sweden in the summer of 2007. Along the wall sit Erik Belfrage, Hans Stråberg, Carl-Henric Svanberg, Peter Wallenberg Jr, Marcus Wallenberg and Jacob Wallenberg. The Wallenberg family's financial contacts with China go back a long way. Jacob's father Peter Wallenberg has told in the magazine "Företagsminnen" that he visited China already at the end of the 1970s, in connection with Deng Xiaoping becoming leader and initiating the economic reform program that today - four decades later - has made China the world's second largest economy. Peter Wallenberg was then able to establish personal relationships with China's absolute top echelon. During a trip in the country, he was invited to dinner by the then mayor of Shanghai, Jiang Zemin. At dinner, Peter Wallenberg mistakenly thought he had a heart attack and was taken to hospital. "This hospital visit then happened to create a special bond between me and Jiang Zemin, he had helped save my life. 'What about your old heart?', he jokingly asked when we met again," Peter Wallenberg told Företagsminnen. When Jiang Zemin succeeded Deng Xiaoping as leader in 1989, the Wallenberg family was thus in direct contact with the top. The relationship continued when Hu Jintao then took over power in 2002. When Hu Jintao visited Stockholm in the summer of 2007, Peter Wallenberg was one of those who received the president. There is much evidence that the close relations have remained close even after 2012, when Xi Jinping became president. The Li Qiang whom Jacob Wallenberg met the other month is, according to the South China Morning Post, close to Xi Jinping. According to the newspaper, Li Qiang is one of Xi Jinping's allies from Zhejiang province. According to the newspaper, Li Qiang was Xi Jinping's secretary for three years, when he was the leader of the Communist Party in Zhejiang. Li Qiang's representative in Shanghai, Han Zheng, is another of the party leaders with whom Jacob Wallenberg has had contact over the years. And Han Zheng is not just anyone. Today, he is one of seven members of the Politburo's innermost circle, Xi Jinping's so-called "standing committee". It is Han Zheng who can be seen in the picture next to Jacob Wallenberg, at a press conference in 2011. Jacob Wallenberg with Han Zheng in 2011, when Han Zheng was mayor of Shanghai. Today, he is one of seven in the inner circle of the Communist Party's Politburo, its so-called "standing committee" headed by President Xi Jinping. In parallel with the Wallenberg family cultivating its political relationships, the group's companies have built up a considerable presence on the ground in China. Today, the country is not only an important market for the group. Several of the companies have large production facilities in the country. SKF today, for example, has nine Chinese factories that are subcontractors to the automotive industry. China is also the country where SKF has the most employees in the world. We have also seen in the past that this type of threat is a way of showing domestic politics that one dares to stand up to Western states. ABB is another Wallenberg giant with a large Chinese presence. In November 2018, the group inaugurated a manufacturing and development center in Xiamen, which when completed will be the group's largest innovation and manufacturing facility with 3,500 employees, a total investment of approximately SEK 3 billion. In 2018, ABB also decided to build a new robot factory in Shanghai. The Wallenberg companies also usually cooperate on networks and political contacts worldwide. Johan Forssell, CEO of the group's investment company Investor, confirmed as recently as the other week that it is very much continuing. According to Forssell, one of the most important things Investor can contribute to the companies is precisely the network in Asia, and especially in China. Admittedly, several of the above-mentioned companies are not entirely Swedish. ABB, Astra Zeneca and Stora Enso even have headquarters abroad. But considering how well-known the Wallenbergs are in China, it is probably obvious to the authorities in the country that the family is its largest owner. And that the companies could be affected by an economic conflict. According to Oscar Almén, researcher at FOI, the consequences depend on which means China chooses to respond with. - If they choose the trade route, with tariffs and the like, then the issue ends up in the EU, which regulates Swedish trade relations. Then there are ways to make it more unofficial, where Swedish companies in China can be affected in a number of other ways, says Oscar Almén. - You can compare it to what happened to the salmon after the conflict with Norway. Sanitary tests for imported salmon became stricter and the possibility of obtaining import licenses became more difficult. However, it was not the Chinese government that officially implemented this. Through small means, it could produce big effects, he says. According to Oscar Almén, however, it is not certain that China will actually go ahead with its threat. - China must make a calculation of how costly it can be, the country is also dependent on several of the companies that operate in the country. We have also seen in the past that this kind of threat is a way to show domestic politics that you dare to stand up to Western states and it also works as a way to scare others not to challenge China in the future. The Wallenberg family has repeatedly had to answer for their close connections to China and how it rhymes with the country's problems with human rights. All along, the family has defended itself by saying that their presence contributes to economic development and thus strengthens the direction towards democracy. Like, for example, Jacob Wallenberg in Ekot's Saturday interview in 2006: "It has been an incredible development thanks to actually supporting economic development. And then I think the democratic development will also follow. Or, rather, I don't think so. I am absolutely convinced that it is so.” That increased wealth in China would lead to increased democracy is an argument that is becoming increasingly difficult to assert. The question is even more relevant today. Several politicians and human rights organizations are clear in their conclusion that under Xi Jinping in power, China has taken several steps in a more repressive, less democratic direction. As Human Right Watch begins its latest report on the situation in the country. “President Xi Jinping, born in 1953, has indicated his intention to rule for an unlimited term after China's legislature in March added an amendment to the constitution aimed at abolishing the distant term limit for the presidency. This measure was also characteristic of the increasing repression.” Oscar Almén at FOI is skeptical of the belief that economic development would also improve the situation for human rights. - That increased wealth in China would lead to increased democracy is an argument that is becoming increasingly difficult to assert. Today, China is moving more and more towards an autocratic system, on all levels, with reduced freedoms and increased political control, he says, but points out that there are occasional exceptions that go in the opposite direction. The possibility for individual citizens to sue the state has increased in recent years and we have also seen more people who have taken advantage of that possibility. That's important to remember, even if the overall trend is toward more political control. Several recent events have also strengthened the thesis that the regime in Beijing is moving in a more repressive direction. One example is the repeated revelations of China's treatment of minorities in Xinjiang province, where over a million people have been put in various camps and prisons. Representatives of the Chinese regime have described the camps primarily as schools, where the inmates were students. But as several international media and organizations have shown, it is rather about far more brutal institutions where anyone who resists is punished. The New York Times recently revealed that the hard-line measures were ordered from China's top political leadership. In a speech to party representatives, President Xi Jinping is said to have demanded that "no mercy" should be shown to the Muslim minority population and that the country used all the "tools of dictatorship" in that work. The development in Hong Kong is another current example. The authorities' treatment of the protesters and the bill they were protesting are both seen as examples of a more hardline approach by the central government in Beijing. For Sweden, the imprisonment of the Swedish-Chinese publisher Gui Minhai has turned up criticism of the methods of the Chinese state power. Which is now the background to ambassador Gui Congyou's threat in the GP the other day about "countermeasures". When and how these will be put into practice is still unclear. Foreign Minister Ann Linde told Ekot after the statement that the Foreign Ministry "did not receive any concrete information about this from Beijing" via the normal channels. In the GP interview, Gui Congyou repeats the response that China often uses when people or organizations in other countries criticize the government's actions and policies: "What policy the Chinese government is for is China's internal affairs. No countries, organizations or private individuals have the right to interfere in it," he says in the interview. SvD has asked a number of specific questions to Jacob Wallenberg about how he views the group's activities in China today and the family's contacts with the country's political leadership. Jacob Wallenberg did not want to answer the questions directly, but instead formulated a written statement to SvD. In the statement, he writes that the family generally "has a strong belief that trade and openness favors economic development and creates conditions for increased prosperity for all and also contributes to peaceful coexistence between countries. This also applies to China.”. Jacob Wallenberg emphasizes, however, that the country's expansion is not viewed uncritically. "China's economic growth and ambition do not mean that one should be naive about the political role China wishes to play, and therefore it is important to place the same demands on China in terms of trade and competition as are placed on other developed countries. It has to be a level playing field.” Jacob Wallenberg writes that he has spoken on several occasions with China's leaders about the country's problems with human rights. But he also repeats his previously expressed belief that with economic development should also come increased civil liberties and rights in the long term. "That this has not yet happened in China, I regret, which I have also repeatedly and clearly raised with Chinese leaders. But politics – not business – must deal with political issues. I believe that increased transparency and openness is a prerequisite for continued long-term economic development in China.” In the statement, however, Jacob Wallenberg mentions nothing about any specific issues that he has discussed with the Chinese leaders he met, such as the issue of the imprisoned Swedish-Chinese publisher Gui Minhai and the prison camps in Xinjiang. Nor if he believes that the threats from the Chinese ambassador can affect the Wallenberg companies' large presence in China."The relationship with China is complicated. I advocate dialogue and long-termism, continued trade and exchange at all levels. We have nothing to gain from confrontation, but we must stand up for our values ​​and use our trusted contact points to highlight our concerns and common challenges.” Jacob Wallenberg writes that they will continue to cultivate contacts with the Chinese leaders in the future. "Since the opening of China, the family has strived for close relations with the political leadership in China. Hopefully, it has benefited the companies' opportunities to establish themselves and grow in the Chinese market," writes Jacob Wallenberg. Nor does he harbor any thoughts of quitting as a member of IBLAC in Shanghai, where he meets Politburo members such as Li Qiang and Han Zheng. "My involvement as a member of the Shanghai Mayor's International Council for 25 years, and the corresponding involvement in Tsinghua University's International Council, gives me insights and contact points to Chinese society that give me the opportunity to express views on how trade and other exchanges should be conducted. We in the family believe in keeping the dialogue open and straight.” Wallenberg on China: "Nothing to gain from confrontation" | SvD http://svd.seWallenberg on China: "Nothing to gain from confrontation" | SvD Contacts with President Xi Jinping's closest, with 130 billion in revenue a year according to SvD :s review. Amid diplomatic crisis and accusations of human rights violations, Wallenberg's involvement in China is deeper than ever.
