Foreign assets at risk
vs.
risky foreign assets

Boy, am I glad I don’t live as far far south as Malmö or as far north as Umeå, Sweden!

Yesterday Swedish media reported on two more mysterious shots at foreigners in Malmö. Today there was an article in Svenska Dagbladet, the biggest daily Swedish newspaper (sourced from the biggest local news feed, Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå, TT) about doctors in Umeå doing controversial experimental surgery on foreigners. We have learned to trust our papers. Altercation. But real snipers and knifers are closing in (ever since Sverige Demokrater, the local populist party, entered the Swedish Riksdag?). I think this is getting really crazy (read: scary). Who and what are we to trust?

Maybe we should trust Google translate. After all, funny as it may be,it does at least give some sense (to the discerning mind?) of what is going on in the world around us.

The original TT article is in Swedish ( I encourage everyone who is familiar with English to enjoy testing Google translate) can be found at: http://www.svd.se/nyheter/inrikes/riskabel-hjarnkirurgi-pa-utlanningar_5550727.svd

This is the push:
A certain type of lobotomy-like brain surgery is no longer performed on patients because of the high risk of permanent damage. But operations continued in Umeå until 2007 - on Americans.
