Gets inspiration from US Nazis

Axelsson was a gifted student and knowledgeable computer teacher whose worst crime was a theft during the high school years. In the same way 18 year old Eric Harris and 17 year old Dylan Klebold in Littleton in the US were transformed from two unknown school boys to mass murderers. In April this year they celebrated the 110 year anniversary of Hitler by shooting 12 of their class mates and a teacher dead.
The inspiration for many young violent offenders does not in the first place come from Nazi Germany but from the US. In the centre are found two books: "The Turner Diaries" and "The Hunter" of the American racial ideologist William Pierce. The books have gained cult status in the Swedish White Power movement.
  
A racial war is described in the books. Small terrorist groups are fighting against what Pierce calls Zog - the Zionist occupation government. He says that the racists should not in the first place put their energy into eliminating blacks and homosexuals but concentrate on politicians, the judicial system, and journalists, the kernel of the Jewish world conspiracy in each country.
  Not until Zog has been crushed it is time to use the weapons against Jews, Blacks, and others that the racial ideologists do not consider should continue living in the US and Europe.
  
-This is a large part of the basis of what is happening in the Swedish society of today, says Torbjörn Ekblom at Säpo.
  In Sweden the same Pierce-inspired ideology is upheld by among others Erik Nilsen and his organisation Blood and Honour.
  The same is true of the editor of Info 14, Robert Vesterlund, whose newspaper sells Pierce's books.
  
The police murders in Malexander, the car bomb in Nacka, and the murder of the syndicalist Björn Söderberg in Sätra, could all be collected from these writings. It is the ideology itself that is the driving force, the fight against Zog.
  
It is also among the young consumers of this ideology that the culprits are found, seldom or never among the older agitators. This makes the fight against Nazi violent offenders especially difficult.
  
If Nazi organisations were well-structured with membership files and distinct leaders, they would be easier to be handled by the police. It is exactly the loose network structure in combination with the propaganda, the one that can transform young men to extreme violent offenders, that makes it so difficult for the police to predict where the next culprit can be found.
  And when the police at last gets hold of them the Nazi propaganda has taught them how to act to obstruct the investigation work as much as possible. The first instructions read: "Never trust the police, Säpo, or any other Zionist lackeys. They work for and are controlled by the Zionist occupation government."
  Thereafter the activists are urged to always request identification and to note the names of the police officers at a search.
  And further: "If you are arrested (apprehended or taken into custody) then refuse to answer any questions: Remember that silence is your best defence (this the prosecutor or the police of course do not agree with, as well as your lawyer). Always deny crime, never confess regardless of what evidence is brought against you."
  Not even when the government has taken someone into custody the judicial system can guarantee protection against Nazi violence. This advice in the inquest manual was practised by the Nazis that were heard during the trial against a well-known 22 year old Nazi and violent offender in Kalmar. He was a few weeks ago prosecuted for a brutal assault in a police cell in Nybro.

Was pointed out - but was acquitted anyway
  
The case was widely publicised when it became known that the police by mistake had placed the 19 year old anti-fascist Linus Ljunggren in the same cell as five Nazis: Ljunggren was kicked down from behind and therefore did not see the culprit himself, but a guard could during the trial with "99 percent security" point out the 22-year-old.
  
The pointing out was however not sufficient for a sentence of guilty. His four friends in National Socialist Front, that were in the cell during the actual assault, testified under oath that they neither had seen anything nor heard anything.
When the cell door was opened by a police officer Linus Ljunggren was unconscious in a pool of blood on the floor. The Nazis sat on the bunk. It is totally clear that at least one of them assaulted Linus Ljunggren and that the others in the cell had seen it. Still no one was sentenced.
  
In the Stockholm court three suspected police murderers are denying the murders in Malexander.
  In Malmö the five suspects of the bomb attack against the two policemen were acquitted after frightened witnesses had changed their reports.
  For the bomb against the journalist couple in Nacka no one has been apprehended at all. The deed has spread anxiety and uneasiness among reporters that cover the White Power world. Nazis and mc gangs have at several occasions threatened journalists who have surveyed and described their activities.
  
In connection with the bomb attack in Nacka the threats were considered so serious that journalists at several newspapers were forced to leave Stockholm to stay in secret places.
  In Skåne there are examples of journalists that have been sought out by menacing mc gangs, others have been threatened to death over the telephone.
  A journalist in Malmö had a grenade with a threatening letter placed on his front door a few years ago.
  At various searches the police have found death lists with the names of "undesirable" journalists. There are today several journalists that for safety reasons choose not to write about Nazis and mc gangs. They become silent like threatened witnesses and other frightened informants.
  Preliminary examinations are obstructed and whole trials have to be cancelled. Fright and frustration are increasing also among many prosecutors and among even more police officers.
  At the same time as the Nazis, criminal mc gangs, and criminal organisations can continue to enlarge the free zone of lawlessness.
