Economy. The Sweden Democrats and the government have agreed on a shower of gold over American Jewess Barbara Specter's left-wing radical think tank Paideia in Stockholm. This is announced by SD's cultural policy spokesperson Alexander Christiansson and the government parties in a joint debate article in Svenska Dagbladet.

As an American-Jewish activist center and think tank at the extreme the left wing, Paideia is an odd bird among the institutions in Stockholm.

The center was founded in 2000 by the American-Israeli multiculturalist Barbara Specter and by the Swedish-Israeli Expo financier Gabriel Urwitz. The financing came from Sweden's Riksbank and the powerful Rothschild foundation, which among other things was responsible for Paideia's two-year courses in so-called Jewish activism.

What this activism has entailed is not known, but in an interview with Israeli tv in 2010, Specter claimed that Jews were behind the criticized Third World immigration to Europe, which she feared could lead to increased anti-Semitism among affected Europeans.

– Europe will not last as the monolithic communities it once was in the last century, Specter proclaimed in the interview, continuing:

– Jews will be at the center of it. It is a huge transformation to make for Europe. They are now entering a multicultural situation, and Jews will be despised because of our leading role.

In the debate article in SvD, Alexander Christiansson (SD) and the government representatives claim that the new funding for Specter can “contribute to strengthen knowledge about the Jewish minority in Sweden and Europe”.

What knowledge about Jews Barbara Specter will share next time, however, remains to be seen.
