The world, not least the Western world, is ruled by a group of oligarchs or international financial capital forces that can be compared to a mafia. The financial mafia has no individual leader, but collaborates and has meetings with the politicians they invite.

This is explained by Mikael Willgert in Swebbtv. The financial mafia "buys our politicians," he points out. Everything indicates that political decisions in the Swedish Riksdag are controlled by the financial mafia, directly or indirectly through their media. It is in a lecture on Swebbtv that Swebbtv's editor-in-chief Mikael Willgert, among other things, goes against Sweden's "warlike" power elite.

When Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán recently went to Russia to try to make peace, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson claimed that this “sends the wrong signal to the outside world and is an insult to the Ukrainian people.”

– It has become a common perception that it is completely wrong to work for peace, says Mikael Willgert. Here we have broken with our long tradition. It is clear that we must work for peace. How will the war in Ukraine end if it does not end in peace?

– Is it really the case that our politicians believe that Putin will end up like Hitler, in a bunker, where he will be killed? It is quite the opposite. Russia has only become stronger, and we have become weaker.

What the American strategy is really about is keeping Russia out, the United States in, and Germany down, he points out. “And that’s what we’re seeing here. That’s what the fight is about.”

– The American military is not really governed by the people's need for security. It is not there to protect the United States. It governs to protect the financial princely dynasties, the interests of the world's financial mafia.

The fundamental problem that makes democracy no longer work is that these interests have such enormous power, greater power than individual nation states, explains Willgert.

– The world financial mafia with its press and media has taken control of many nation states, including Sweden. This group, the world mafia, or the financial mafia, the oligarchs, or the international financial interests – whatever name we choose – has no leader who decides everything. They function like a mafia, with people pulling different strings. But they cooperate and meet.

– And to these meetings they invite our politicians so that they can report to them and be informed about the direction that applies, he continues. Later, they ensure that their politicians get princely paid positions in their organizations. They “buy our politicians,” according to Willgert.

– There are enormously wealthy financial families across many generations. They build on experience and expertise spanning centuries, with how to manipulate opinions and how to use democracy to manipulate the people.

According to Willgert, "everything points to the political decisions in the Swedish Riksdag being controlled by the financial mafia directly or indirectly," and through their media.
