This is the story of how I nearly lost everything to activist Swedish Social Services.
In 2017, my family and I were living in Sweden.
I had lived there before as a single man. We thought it was the safe, stable, open society everyone in the West keeps praising.
What happened instead nearly destroyed us.
I am a former Marine with a couple combat deployments to Afghanistan (this detail matters) and was part of Marine Corps Forces European Command in Germany. I worked for Amazon Web Services with a Nordic focus, staged in Stockholm
I managed teams across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.
We lived in the countryside, paid taxes, followed every rule. We even insisted on speaking the local language.
We tried to be the ideal expat family.
As a reminder, Founders would have found it perfectly constitutional and utterly reasonable to hang this guy within like a day of his arrest, after a trial that probably would have ended before lunchtime
They certainly wouldn't have wasted resources on locking him up, then letting him out a few years later so he could go on to commit more unspeakable crimes
