Default Private companies making a fortune running asylum houses (bus stabbings)

Written in August 2013, just before three Norwegian people were stabbed to death on public transport by a (profitable) negro infiltrator:

Private players earn well in reception centers

The share of private operators who run reception centers has exploded since the 1980s. The largest private companies make good on house asylum seekers.




On Sund reception center in Klokkarvik southwest of Bergen live Moges Mulugeta Amharay (52). There is activity day at Sunderland when Bergens Tidende visiting reception. Residents gathered in the common areas, which hold a single standard, with two sofa groups and a pool table. Sund receipt houses more than 120 residents and operated by Hero Norway.

- The cleaning we are responsible for, but we will be closely monitored by the staff. The system is completely dependent on the present, said Mulugeta.

25 July wrote about BT Arna reception center, which is also operated by Hero Norway. The residents despairing over dirty, worn and congested family room and Bergen municipality called conditions unworthy. Also Directorate of Immigration (UDI) and Hero Norway believed that the situation was not tenable.


14.7 million in dividends
Hero Norway operates 30 receiving and two new starts in August. It makes the company the largest private reception operator in Norway. In 2012 the company received just under half a billion of Immigration for the operation, including rent. The company had a profit of over 20 million last year, and the owners have for the last three years are taken out an annual dividend of 14.7 million.

In 1990 only 12.5 percent of the receipt operator private. Last year, the percentage increased to 76.8 percent. The four major private players are Hero Norway with offices in Stavanger, Kristiansand Link, Lopex Reception on Voss and Norwegian Receiving Operation in Lillehammer (see graphic at right). Together, these companies had a combined profit before tax of nearly 50 million last year.


- Must take less dividends
- That the individual receiving operators are making money, is in the nature of the current system, said State Secretary in the Ministry of Justice, Paul Lønseth (Ap).

- Do we have private operators, they must be able to take out any dividends, he said.

- What was totally unacceptable in Arna, was that Hero ran receptacle in such a manner. Then either the dividend they take out, be less. They have to spend money on the conditions meet the requirements. They may not have the kind of relationship that was revealed in Arna, that they will make more money, says Secretary of State.

Until the late 1980s there were only Norwegian municipalities who ran the asylum center. In 1988 the law was changed, and private and non-governmental actors to relax to manage a growing asylum power. Since then, private companies largely uncompetitive local authorities and NGOs in the open tendering rounds of running reception.


- No connection
Ronald Tuft, chief technology officer, co-owner and founder of Hero Norway, says he does not see any connection between the conditions of Arna reception and Hero Norway's economic situation.

- It has no connection with that there is a routine failure of Arna. It's not like we plan it to look like this, says Tuft.

- Residents have even obliged to clean its urbanization. A good number of asylum seekers are unfortunately living quite long in the reception and then it is important to maintain as normal a living situation as possible. This includes, among other things, taking responsibility for their own living situation and keep it clean and neat around them, says Tor Brekke, deputy director of Hero Norway.

- We recognize that there has been a failure in the monitoring of the cleaning procedures in Arna. The reception has enough resources to follow up the cleaning is acceptable. The circumstances disclosed do not represent the usual standard, neither of Arna or other receipt, says the director.


- A risky business
CEO of Link, Olaf Saunes says that reception centers "should be run like any other economic activity."

- It would be irresponsible to operate a business at zero. Who will then pay the shortfall if something unexpected happens? Operation of the reception center is a business where the unexpected happens all the time, says Saunes.

Per Erik Lykstad, who is the owner and CEO of the Norwegian Receiving Operations, points out that they operate in a market with very high risk.

- The business is controlled by the flow of asylum and must quickly be built up and down, says Lykstad.


- But their company has enjoyed high profitability for years?
- Yes. It must be added that there are some inconveniences with this industry. You get a lot of up and resistance from anti-immigration, right-wing extremist groups and communities in which we are trying to establish ourselves. If we had not earned the money we make, we did not put so much work either.


- A paradox in our politics
The government wants to reverse the trend of the explosion in private reception carriers, but can not get it. SV blames Labor.

State Secretary in the Ministry of Justice, Paul Lønseth (Labour), said the government wants fewer private and several NGOs, but that the state has become dependent on the private operation operators.

- They have been important to avoid placing asylantene in tent camps when there has been a rapid increase in the number of asylum seekers, says Lønseth.


Want more volunteers
He confirmed that the trend has been the opposite of what the government wants:

- That a paradox for us it's been several private operators. We have therefore taken the initiative with the possibility of separate tenders for volunteers and local actors.

It is not yet determined how a change in the tendering system shall be set up, or when it will take effect.


SV gives Ap blame
SV leader Audun Lysbakken believes it "is not right that taking out huge dividends if the quality of the provision is not good enough" in asylum centers.

- I fear that Arna reception is not alone. We know that it is not good enough standard in Norwegian reception. It's not just the commercial. But if the only non-profit organizations and government operates, we ensure at least that money is going where they should, he said.

- Why defend when a red-green government this system?

- I advocate not. The issue of competition is one of several where there have been differences of opinion between the coalition parties.

Lysbakken says SV has not received approval to discontinue outsourcing of asylum centers, and places the blame at Labor.

- It's something I feel SV can be set on the spot, says Lysbakken.


- Should have surplus
Secretary of Labor Lønseth disagree.

- Labor is not the government alone. It's not like SV may exempt himself from that part of the policy they would like to see different, he says.

Municipal Political Conservative spokesman, Michael Tetzschner, believes the state of principle should buy services from private, also receiving operation.

- It is obvious that it should be operated at a profit, whether you operate reception centers or bakery. If the state as a purchaser gets a reasonable price and the employer adhere to social rules should be glad that it also generates dividends, says Tetzschner.

Default Norway's populists demand immigration referendum

Days after the Swiss narrowly voted to curb immigration from the EU, Norway's populist right-wing party on Tuesday demanded a similar referendum in the prosperous Nordic country.

"I won't take a stance on a quota system like the one the Swiss people have voted for," said Mazyar Keshvari, immigration spokesman for the Progress Party (once counted Anders Breivik among its members) a member of the ruling coalition which wants a more restrictive immigration policy.

"But the idea of a referendum is interesting and Norway should also organise a referendum on immigration. I'm completely certain that a majority wants to tighten up" the policy.

Norway is not a member of the EU but is included in the European Economic Area and the Schengen Area which allows relatively unrestricted movement of citizens.

A vote on immigration in the oil-rich Scandinavian country, where referendums are far less common than in Switzerland, would require the support of other parties.

On Sunday, 50.3 percent of the Swiss voters decided to reverse a decision which gave equal footing to European Union citizens in the Swiss labour market.

Book lists 16,000 Nazi collaborator suspects

A maverick Norwegian publisher has launched a new book containing the full list of the 16,000 Norwegians suspected of collaborating with the country's Nazi occupiers during the Second World War.

Vega Forlag announced plans to publish "List Nr. 1", which was compiled after Norway was liberated from names collected by the Norwegian Resistance.

"List Nr. 1 is not a complete list of persons suspected or convicted of treason, it was an intelligence tool used by the country's new police authorities in a most dramatic and difficult situation," the publisher said in a press release on Thursday. "This book provides a unique picture of a Norway divided in two and a situation where it was vital to distinguish friend from foe."

Bjørn Westlie, whose book 'My Father's War', describes his father's career as a soldier for Nazi Germany, attacked the move as irresponsible, pointing out that resistance fighters had often submitted names based purely on hearsay and rumour.

"It could turn out that the suspicion is unfounded. That imprint has deleted some names on the list who they believe are innocent," he said. "But I ask, 'with what expertise do they do this?'" Westlie told Norway's VG newspaper.

The list, which was distributed around the country by Norwegian police in 1945, has long been in the National Archives, where it has been drawn on by historians and antiquarian, but it has never been made available to the broader public.

As well as the Norwegian Resistance's names, the list drew on information from the police in London, the yearbooks of the National Samling (Norwegian Nazi party), and other public documents.

Default Saudi Arabia criticises Norway over human rights record

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/sa...96.html?sdjfkl

Saudi Arabia has criticised Norway's human rights record, accusing the country of failing to protect its Muslim citizens and not doing enough to counter criticism of the prophet Mohammed.


The gulf state called for all criticism of religion and of prophet Mohammed to be made illegal in Norway. It also expressed concern at “increasing cases of domestic violence, rape crimes and inequality in riches” and noted a continuation of hate crimes against Muslims in the country.

The Scandinavian nation came under scrutiny during the United Nations' Universal Periodic Review, in which 14 States are scheduled to have their human rights records examined.

Russia meanwhile called for Norway to clamp down on expressions of religious intolerance and and criticised the country’s child welfare system. They also recommended that Norway improve its correctional facilities for those applying for asylum status.

Norwegian Foreign Minister Børge Brende was in Geneva to hear the concerns from 91 other countries. He told Norway's NTB newswire prior to the hearing: “It is a paradox that countries which do not support fundamental human rights have influence on the council, but that is the United Nations,” reported The Local.

Human Rights Watch last report noted that in 2012 Saudi Arabia "stepped up arrests and trials of peaceful dissidents, and responded with force to demonstrations by citizens."

It continued "Authorities continue to suppress or fail to protect the rights of 9 million Saudi women and girls and 9 million foreign workers. As in past years, thousands of people have received unfair trials or been subject to arbitrary detention. The year has seen trials against half-a-dozen human rights defenders and several others for their peaceful expression or assembly demanding political and human rights reforms."

Default "Årdal have taken very good asylum seekers" (bus stabbings)

Many lusty men
On March 31, they were on another trip, this time with Man Group.
-There were many very fit young men who almost ran to the top before the rear guard came, laughing Mette.

We were ten men and two staff from the reception that went to the highest point in the municipality, Nipen. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and had enough a glorious day with views in all directions, cocoa and biscuits and pleasant conversations about the respective country. And like good hikers wrote all their names in the text book, says Mette.

We have experienced that such trips are incredibly well for both residents and staff. There are many topics that can be talked about in such a casual setting. Bebeorne have used their bodies and are more relaxed. In this way we come closer to each other and occasionally comes the best conversations in such good circumstances, says Mette, who plans more trips in the future.


a brilliant day with views in all

Default Oslo Mosque Prayers Leader in Hospital After Attack

Quote:
Nemat Ali Shah was seriously wounded rushed to hospital after being attacked from behind by an unidentified person, rtl website reported.

The incident took place outside his house when he was walking to the mosque.

Hospital sources said Ali Shah is recuperating after a surgery.

A police investigation is going on to find the perpetrator. A police spokesperson said it is too early to talk about the motivation behind the violent assault.

The Pakistani-born Imam had been the target of an attack inside the mosque last year, too.

Artists in Norway Built a Re-Creation of a Human Zoo That Held Black People in Captivity



Quote:
–An art project in Norway has sprung up to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the signing of Norway's constitution. I'm not an art expert by any means. My interest in art starts at velvet paintings and ends with dogs playing poker, but this particular project piqued my interest because it's a recreation of a very real, very racist tourist attraction from the 1914 World's Fair in Oslo called Kongoslandsbyen (or "Congo Village"), which claimed to be a recreation of an African village—complete with black men, women, and children engaged in crude recreations of tribal customs. Global Post reported that a newspaper of the time quoted visitors as remarking that the exhibit was "exceedingly funny," and that it was" wonderful that we are white."

This is not the first time Europeans have sought to shed light on this disturbing artifact of popular culture. In 2011, the Quai Branly museum in Paris hosted in exhibition of material from human zoos in France, England, and Germany. It was common to bring back "specimens" from Africa to parade around for the enjoyment of well-heeled, curious white patrons. A BBC article on the exhibit mentioned a particularly famous South African named Saartjie Baartman who suffered from steatopygia, a condition they refer to as causing an "extremely protuberant buttocks and elongated labia." That sounds like your run-of-the-mill freak show, except with the added element of her race being a major part of the attraction.



Clearly, the fascination with black female asses was around long before the invention of the hip-hop music video. The Paris World's Fair in 1889 had a "Negro Village" attraction that offered 400 Africans to be gawked at by fairgoers, and occasionally those people were displayed in cages—sometimes nude or semi-nude. Granted, nudity isn't illicit in many African tribes, then or now. Yet, for the attendees, surely there was an element of the prurient at play, in the same way that people at modern zoos eagerly gawk at monkeys fucking each other and flinging their shit.

The concept of capturing and parading Africans around in cages fell out of favor, along with the telegraph, boiling drinking water, and the League of Nations, but the legacy of dehumanization of "the other" persists in the global culture. It seems like not a week goes by that a European soccer match isn't tainted by a fan throwing bananas at a black player. A common insult hurled at Barack Obama is comparing him to a chimp. One of the reasons that so many black people found Miley Cyrus's VMAs performance offensive is that they saw Miley parading taut black flesh around the stage for the implicit purpose of showing them off as objects or curiosities. That perception is very, very likely to be off-base and unfair, but it exists for a good reason. Historically, black people have been used as exotic objects or tools for labor since white men first found the African continent. Many blacks have that oppression in their DNA and need a trigger warning just to watch TV.

The Global Post story on the Congo Village re-creation reported that there are some African intellectuals who took offense at the project. Bwesigye bwa Mwesigire, a Ugandan writer said in the Guardian that the creators of the art project "can’t exonerate themselves because they mean well. Indeed, if they are serious about creating discussions of racism they ought to think deeper about the likelihood that their project may entrench the same prejudices they claim to fight.”

It's fine to be distressed at the lack of action on the part of many in the creative class toward the problems of racial animosity, but I would hazard a guess that there's not a ton of awareness that these places even exist. It's human nature to sweep embarrassing shit under the rug and ignore the fact that it even happened. If I had sex with a stripper in Guatemala and contracted syphilis, I'm not going to tell my OKCupid date all about it, but she might be better off knowing so she can hail a cab home and delete my phone number. These events are not fun to talk about, but the only way to repair the damage is to remember they happened. NOT RACIST for the art project, RACIST for the mere idea of a human zoo.

Thumbs up Record number of foreigners deported

A record number of foreign citizens were deported from Norway last year, after country's police stepped up the use of deportation as a way of fighting crime.

Foreign criminals who return face two years' jail (04 Dec 13)
Immigrant parents should control mugger kids: PM (19 Nov 13)
Half of Oslo residents now fear street crime (19 Nov 13)

Some 5,198 foreign citizens were expelled from the country in 2013, an increase of 31 percent since 2012, when 3,958 people were deported.

"It is the highest number we've had ever," Frode Forfang, head of the Directorate of Immigration (UDI), told NRK. "We believe that one reason for the increase is that the police have become more conscious of using deportation as a tool to fight crime."

Nigerian citizens topped the list of those expelled for committing crimes, with 232 citizens expelled as a punishment in 2013, followed by Afghan citizens with 136 expelled as a punishment, and 76 Moroccans expelled as a punishment.

Afghan citizens topped the list of those expelled for violating the Immigration Act, with 380 expelled for this reason, followed by Iraqi citizens, 234 were expelled for violating the act.

Thousands of mobilized Muslims and Christians alike marched through the streets of Oslo on Monday evening, expressing what one Muslim cleric called “collective disgust” for violent extremism in the name of Islam. “Not in our name,” the crowd claimed in the major demonstration that was called an “historic turning point” as diverse participants “stood together” against terrorism and brutality.

The demonstration brought together the imams of major mosques in Norway and representatives for major Muslim organizations with the acting bishop of Oslo and other Christian clergy, Members of Parliament, the leaders of all of Norway’s political parties, the mayor of Oslo and the prime minister. Many of them made appeals both on the public square of Oslo’s multicultural district of Grønland and in front of the Norwegian Parliament.

Perhaps most important, several noted, was how “ordinary Muslims,” as many called themselves, mingled with “ordinary Norwegians.” Commentators claimed it was a breakthrough for integration.

“Together against terror, together for peace” read the signs carried by many of the marchers. “No IS – Not in my name” read others, referring to the brutal extremist organization now calling itself the Islamic State (IS) in Syria and Iraq.

The demonstration was initiated just last week by young Norwegian Muslims who say they got fed up by the “extremist propaganda” also spouted by another group in Norway that was roundly condemned through nearly three hours of appeals on Monday, Profetens Ummah. One young woman speaker wearing a hijab referred to their “nauseating idology” while others repeatedly accused the group, which has held poorly attended demonstrations in Oslo itself, of spreading hate, advocating violence and misusing Islam.

“We took back the city from neo-Nazis, we took back the city from a terrorist, now we must take back the city from extremists,” said Yousef Assidiq of the think tank Minotenk in his appeal at Grønlandstorget. He said he’d been spat upon by people associated with Profetens Ummah on his way to Monday’s demonstration, but was heartened to see so many people show up for the protest march. Police estimated the crowd size at around 5,000.

Representatives from Pakistani, Somalian and Iraqi groups were just some of the speakers, as Sunni Muslims also mingled with Shiites. The imams linked arms as they led the march, and the acting Bishop of Oslo Anne May Grasas was given a prominent place among them. Several of the imams spoke, with one urging all Muslims to continue taking a stand against extremism and violence after the demonstration was over. Akhtar Chaudhry, a former vice president of the Parliament, cautioned the crowd not to think “the job is finished when this is over. The work begins today.”

The silent majority spoke up

Many acknowledged criticism that Norwegian Muslims have been too passive, or scared, by extremists, and silent too long. “Finally we have a chance here to express what we believe,” one young woman. Another claimed that “this is not about a conflict among religions, but between madness and reason.”

Top government officials including Finance Minister Siv Jensen and Prime Minister Erna Solberg, who’d started her day speaking at a major oil industry conference in Stavanger, were waiting at the Parliament Building when the thousands of marchers started streaming into Norway’s historic Eidsvolds Plass, the plaza in front of the Parliament. There they listened to more appeals, also from the bishop and Labour Party leader Jonas Gahr Støre who said along with many others that they were proud of the big turnout. One young woman commented that she’s so tired of having to clarify to non-Muslims that neither she nor any of her friends and family support Islamic extremists. Others asked to be accepted as both “practicing Muslims and good Norwegians.”

Solberg ended the lengthy demonstration by saying it “warmed” her heart to see so many people and such diversity gathered together for a common cause. She claimed the nation was united on Monday against extremism.

“This is all about what we all believe in: Democracy, freedom of expression and freedom of religion, and human dignity,” Solberg said. “We have seen evil. Today we distance ourselves from that, with our voices and our hearts. We stand together.”

Default Norway to negotiate with the Netherlands for prisoner export:

According to the Süddeutsche-Zeitung, Norwegian authorities ended up even setting free prisoners, because there wasn't any more room to cage them (in a "humanitary" manner which means not exceeding the number of prisoners in a given space, unlike how conditions are in foreigner inmates' countries of origin). Since the Swedish prison population has drastically decreased (?!), during the last 10 years (has crime there also proportionately decreased, within that given timeframe?) Swedish authorities have since closed 5 prisons. As Norwegian officials asked Swedish ones if they could rent the closed prisons, Sweden refused on grounds that before they were to accomodate Norway's prisoners, legislation would have first to take place.

Die Zahl der Insassen in schwedischen Haftanstalten soll der "SZ" zufolge seit zehn Jahren sinken, allein seit 2011 um sechs Prozent - im vergangenen Jahr wurden bereits fünf schwedische Gefängnisse geschlossen...

Three-Quarters of Norwegians Against Joining EU

World | November 28, 2014, Friday // 16:42

Almost three-quarters of the Norwegians don’t want to join the EU, shows a poll conducted by Sentio for the newspapers Nationen and Klassekampen, quoted by the Norwegian edition of The Local.

The survey showed that only 16.8% of the respondents said they wanted Norway to join the EU, while 9.2% replied with “I don’t know”.

The remaining 74% said they were against Norway joining the EU.

According to The Local, this is a historical high. For comparison, in a referendum on the matter, conducted 20 years ago, 52.2% of the citizens voted against the EU membership. In the 1972 vote on joining what was then the EEC, opponents won with 53.5% of the vote.

The last time there was a majority supporting EU membership, was in a 2005 EU membership public opinion poll.
