Imaginary Enemy & Swedish Surveillance Law


All the shops were closed and the streets were deserted.If not for the football gathering in Kungsträdgården,Stockholm would look like a ghost town.
It seems the life shifted to the countryside.People danced around the midsummer poles, ate specially prepared herring fish with boiled fresh potatoes, strawberries as a dessert and drank cold beer and schnapps.
The celebrations have almost reached to its end.
While people were busy in midsummer preparations,The Swedish parliament approved the surveillance law,which allowed a civilian institution,National Defence Radio Establishment to tape all cross-border telephone and Internet communication.From January 2009 every telephone conversation would be taped,every E-mail letter and fax would be read.Each site the people visit,each word people google would be recorded.All that is to protect Sweden against foreign threats and cyber warfare.
143 Parliament members robbed the civil liberties of the nation in the broad daylight.
Sweden is approaching towards dark.It was No Happy Midsummer.
