Three decades ago, Olof Palme was assassinated on Stockholm’s busiest street. The killer has never been found. Could the discovery of new evidence finally close the case? By Imogen West-Knights
On the last night of February 1986, the Swedish prime minister Olof Palme and his wife, Lisbet, were strolling home through downtown Stockholm. They had taken an impromptu trip to the cinema and decided, as they often did, not to bring bodyguards. Palme made a point of living as much as possible like an ordinary person; he did not want the fact that he was running the country to come between him and his countrymen. “You saw him in the streets all the time,” says the Swedish ethnologist Jonas Engman. “You could speak to him. There was an intimacy to it.”
At 11.21pm, as the couple walked down Sveavägen, one of Stockholm’s busiest streets, a tall man in a dark coat walked up behind them. The man put one hand on Palme’s shoulder, and with his other hand fired a single round from a gun into the prime minister’s back. He grazed Lisbet with a second bullet before fleeing up a flight of 89 steps that links the main street with a parallel road above. www.theguardian.com/news/2019/… #Sweden #Politics #Europe #Worldnews #UKnews -

Así piensa un "diplomático" norteamericano hoy:
"In the 1980s, the U.S. ambassador to El Salvador, Robert White, admitted the preternaturally violent nature of the military and the oligarchy, reporting that their ideal solution to the civil war was not simply the defeat of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (fmln) but apocalypse: they wanted the country to be “destroyed totally, the economy must be wrecked, unemployment must be massive” and a “cleansing” of some “3 or 4 or 500,000 people” must be carried out. 61" G.

Cuando se da por acabada la historia es cuando Trump ejecuta una política de guerra frontal contra el socialismo-comunismo. ¿Qué indica? Reconocer que la polarización capital-trabajadorxs nunca ha mermado, y que se traduce desde las élites gobernantes como lucha contra las izquierdas latinoamericanas (exterminio:colombia lawfare:brasil) #comunismo #usa #política #politics #latinoamérica #capital

"Escalating political repression was made possible by the provision, coordination, and enthusiasm provide by the United States. Yet its animal spirit was driven by a domestic reaction against the democratization of the region’s status hierarchy that had steadily advanced since the decades prior to [Latin american countries'] independence."
