Thoughts on The Black Swan
The new and much-discussed TV2-documentary The Black Swan reveals widespread cooperation between the criminal underworld and the social elite. I have not seen the documentary myself, but I have seen some TV2 features about it - and extracts from it, as well as read quite a few notices, articles and posts about it. I would think that I have a pretty good picture of what it is all about. Based on this, I feel led to share some thoughts about it.
In 2014, my 2 children were forcibly removed by the authorities. The intervention on the part of the authorities was justified to the extent that the children were in an untenable situation due to some problems that I will not go into here.
Although the intervention was justified taking the situation into account, the administration's handling of the case both in the years leading up to the intervention, in the intervention itself and in the years after the intervention was under all criticism.
The placement of my children led me on a journey that changed my view of many, many things in our otherwise good and well-functioning Danish society. During the year from 2014 to 2019, I went through a process that led me to approximately the same picture as TV2 the documentary presents. Namely that there is a close connection between criminal interests, public administration and business interests just below the surface of our trusting, democratic and well-functioning legal society.
As far as I can understand from what I have read, the documentary's "mole" (Amira Smajic) is proposed at some point in the course of a collaboration where she will be able to earn a fortune by participating in the creation of a residence for autistics . I'll repeat: Make money from creating a place to live for Autists. You can't make money from that? After all, vulnerable citizens in our society are an expense and not a income... right? Welcome to the world that opened up for me when I entered the Danish and later the international "child welfare". Yes, it clearly puts a knot in our understanding of the Danish welfare society and the care for the weakest, but it is no less my conclusion that our legal system is deeply corrupt and that our care system serves other interests than simply looking after the interests of the vulnerable.
In 2019, I really began to understand the fusion of public administration and organized crime. At the time, it was mainly through the popular Youtuber Shaun Attwood. Shaun had a very well-grounded insight into the fusion of crime, public administration and business interests based on his own history. He had been a successful stock trader in the USA, then in the early nineties he became a drug lord in the then new big market for ecstasy and then he spent 5 years in harsh American prisons before succeeding through skillful work from his relatives to get him bought free and get him home to England. Here he then started a new career as a "content creator" with a focus on "true crime".
During the months that I listened to a large portion of Shaun's podcast on a daily basis with together with my girlfriend, my image of how our society is connected gradually changed. The things I had felt on my own body in the meeting with the public administration and the legal system began to make sense in the perspective that emerged in the wake of Shaun's broadcasts. I understood, for example, that the American presidency was not just a little semi-corrupt, but that it was completely intertwined with organized crime. That it was completely reasonable and realistic to see large parts of the White House as an extension of the mafia and the Bush and Clinton families as well-established criminal families who, in addition to having obtained the most powerful position in the official political world, were also involved in traditional criminal activity such as liquidation (Clinton body count), trafficking in illegal drugs, human trafficking, selling infected blood to bleeding patients, etc.
When I tried to convey this kind of information to my fellow human beings, it was not very well received in general. I was called a conspiracy theorist and this covered, as far as I could understand, an idea that I was suffering from an unrealistic delusion caused by my inability to process the great grief it was, of course, for me to realize that I was unable to take of my own children.
I couldn't really disagree with the term conspiracy theorist. I presented a "theory" about a conspiracy. Perhaps "theory" is not quite the right word in that context, but I can easily sign up to be a communicator of a message that there is a conspiracy going on behind the scenes in our society.
It is the same as the documentary The Black Swan does. It tells of a conspiracy. A conspiracy between the criminal underworld, the public administration and the private sector.
I am therefore very happy that this documentary is coming out now and causing a furor. It conveys a story that I have dedicated a large part of my life to trying to convey.
However, I also hope that people who see it and who are affected by it also take the logical consequence of the connections it shows. If fraud can be committed with the establishment of institutions for autistic people and the relocation of contaminated land, then one could also imagine that fraud could be committed with our healthcare system and information about a worldwide pandemic. What interests are at stake when Danish media reports on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Are DR and TV2 neutral institutions that work unwillingly in the service of the truth - or are there interests at stake that influence the news coverage?
When every year in January our leading ministers attend The World Economic Forum in Davos in Switzerland to meet with representatives from the world's largest multinational corporations whose interests do they serve? When the World Health Organization WHO's delegates meet in Geneva in Switzerland these very days, it is it then only to find out how they can best take care of the citizens' health in the event of a new pandemic or could there be other interests at stake?
It was just a handful of reflections from my side on top of the debate about TV2 the documentary The Black Swan
