I don't want to blow the horn of Denmark though. I mean your leadership is significantly less insane not just to Sweden but actually to most western countries, but they are still fooling themselves by playing ball to this globalist Project. Denmark should be for ethnic Danes. And they shouldn't have let migrants pass through Denmark to Sweden. An islamic Sweden is bad for Denmark in the long term. In the long term Denmarks chances are grim to be honest. https://www.rt.com/news/381180-danish-newborns-2016-immigrant/ If I'm not wrong you had someone charged for blasphemy for insulting islam as well recently.
Historically, I believe that strict sensorship and a symbiosis between the political elite and the media has always been there in Sweden ... and I suspect it could have something to do with the fact that Sweden used to always feel threatened by its neighbours to the extend of paranoia ... They had and still have a big powerful Russia next door, which is also why Sweden is not a member of NATO, not to offend the Russians ... and then there were also the past conflicts with Denmark-Norway, which goes all the way back to when Sweden became an actual unified country ... They had Norway right next door and then also all the Danes and Danish sympathisers living in Scania (Skåne) ... so the Swedish Kings and elite surely were always struck by paranoia and so made use of strict laws and sensorship, to keep the country from falling apart... I think it's the same kind of fear and paranoia that reflect Swedish politics of today ... they want to be an utopia where all people can live in harmony, but they only think they can do it and keep it all together through sensorship. Denmark and Norway on the other hand were in a union and a dual unitary state throughout the Middle Ages and up until more modern time, just as there were no Swedes living in Denmark who could be considered a threat... sure, there were German speaking people and sympathisers living in the most Southern area of Denmark, but there were no unified greater Germany that could be an actual threat to Denmark as a nation until shortly before WW1 and that could be the reason why the elite in Demark do not have the same tradition of paranoia and strict sensorship ... As you also know, the the social enlightenment reforms and progressive advances (freedom of speech and of the press and the abolition of serfdom) came to Denmark-Norway way before the French Revolution and not through a bloody revolution like in France.... and people who do not know, really should take time to watch 'A Royal Affair' if they do not have time to read old dusty books about Danish-Norwegian history :
There are two media giants in Scandinavia. The Bonnier Group, which is a Jewish family owned book publishing company that moved from Denmark to Sweden in 1804, have been dominating the Swedish media market for many years, also having a kind of monopoly on Swedish film culture through SF Studios, and perhaps a bit too much pandering to the elite and "high culture", trying to "educate" people rather than just making movies that ppl want to watch. Nordisk Film is the oldest still active film company in the World and the largest film and TV company in Scandinavia, owned by the Danish Egmont Group which is a family owend book publishing and media giant founded by Egmont Harald Petersen in 1878 ... They especially promote Danish and Norwegian culture ... and no doubt have "public-service" aspirations, but they have always been representing the "popular culture" and never really cared too much about film critics ... They are also the co-founder and owner of Norwegian TV2 and are consortium partners in Globalgate Entertainments : http://www.globalgate.world/consortiuam-partners Besides Nordisk Film, The Egmont Foundation have been investing in the more edgy, provocative Zentropa Entertainments (and Lars Von Trier), A-Film Production, Einstein Film and are also co-owner of Finnish Solar Films, Maipo Film & Tv-produksjon in Norway and Fridthjof Film A/S in Denmark ... http://www.nordiskfilm.com/Business-Areas/Film-Partners/ http://zentropa.dk/en/films/ http://www.afilm.com/ny/ http://www.einsteinfilm.dk/work.html http://www.maipo.no/films/ http://f-film.com/ There are also some totally independent film companies in Denmark the largests being Nimbus Film ... Miso Film, M&M Productions, Copenhagen Bombay, Regner Grasten Film and some smaller ones like Fine & Mellow Productions, Asta Film and Alphaville Pictures Copenhagen : http://nimbusfilm.dk/movies/ http://www.misofilm.dk/ http://copenhagenbombay.com/ http://www.dfi.dk/faktaomfilm/selskab/en/109238.aspx?id=109238 http://regnergrastenfilm.com/ http://www.finemellow.dk/english/the-story http://www.dfi.dk/faktaomfilm/selskab/en/166086.aspx?id=166086 http://www.dfi.dk/faktaomfilm/selskab/en/160349.aspx?id=160349
After 22 July 2011, there was a huge debate in Norway about the Norwegian Police carrying weapons . Still it was not the far right the was seen as a threat to the police. The Norwegian Police was temporarily allowed to carry guns in 2014 , after threats from Islamists . Something that resulted an incredible increase of accidental shot reports. November 2015 The Norwegian Police were disarmed back to the normal again ,after the terror level was returned to "normal" The Norwegian special police forces (Delta) spoke publicly just now for the first time since the flop on 22 july . Delta stil does not have their own chopper . And the one police chopper is not not suitable for a sniper or the wight Delta forced bring. It is still the only chopper the police possess. 22 Juli 2011 that one chopper was at the workshop Delta has now a closer cooperation with the military and can borrow up to two choppers . So things are more or less the same as it was before the terror from ABB. I find it interesting how the Swedes debate immigration so different then Norway and Denmark. And that they seems to find it so hard to cope with and talk about the issues of immigration . There has been many Swedes in Norway the last 5-10 years . And a have talked to several that say that the way we talk and debate immigration in Norway would be seen as unheard , and probably wouldn't be allowed in Sweden. Norwegian immigration policy continues to tighten its grip with ever more returns of illegal immigrants . With estimates of about 50% rejections and returns for the about 31 000 asylum seekers from 2015 . A number that was reduced to about 3500 in 2016. Still Norway has their problems regarding immigration . But not close to Sweden .
Somehow I managed to forget to mention Thura Film (Obel Film), that mainly produce Ole Bornedals quite violent and edgy movies and the cult classic 'Old men in new cars':... but also produce very light family entertainment:.. http://obel.at/myafricanadventure/?lang=en Bornedal films are worth a watch ... they always seem to start out fluffy-nice, but then everything quickly seem to fall apart and turn into the worst of nightmares ... I'll recommend Just Another Love Story, but everyone who knows Bornedal won't be fooled by the title :
Lets be clear about one thing ... there is an open free debate with no political correctness, and so especially muslim immigrants may feel insulted because the debate about islam and the deeds of their Prophet may seem too straight forward, but we have no grenade attacks or violent attacks against immigrants and asylum seekers .. The debate climate may seem too harsh to people who do not really understand danish culture, but at the end of the day, the point of an open free debate is to find real solutions to the actual problems at hand, like breaking down ghettos to the benefit of all, by not leaving any room for islamists to join force with criminals to create unrest like they do in the Middle East and in Sweden, where the political elite just try to deny and cover up the problems, which solves nothing and just makes the problems and violence grow...
In Greenland, Denmark has total control of the military defense and prison system, but it's nothing like the Danish prision system ... Criminals have their own key to their prison cell and are even allowed access to guns and to go hunting with their prison guards ... Still ... this is much tougher than it used to be (before the late 70's) , when there were no prisons in Greenland and criminals were just handed over to an elder or a highly respected fisherman, to be re-educated ... only the most mentally ill serial rapists and murderers were and are still shipped to Denmark to serve their sentences.
Today is exactly 100 years since Denmark sold the Danish West Indies (Virgin Islands) to the USA : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_West_Indies ....so yesterday our Prime Minister (on his way to visit the West Indies) also made a visit to Donald Trump at the White House, to especially talk about Russia, Putin and the Arctic area (and the US base on Greenland) and other issues, like how profitable it is to invest in windmills and building them all over the World, instead of wasting money on the old fashioned coal industry, while also reminding Trump about his family ties to Denmark ... If it will work, I don't know, but it's important to visit Trump early on, before he has his administration all in place... and our present Prime Minister is very down to Earth, easy going, informal and straight forward regarding business and he like a cold beer and to joke around, so I suspect that Donald liked and listened to him ... watch around 4 minutes into the clip with one of his visits with Obama : There has been quite some talk about the missing Trump handshake with the German Prime Merkel and the quite forceful Trump handshake he gave to the Japanese PM ... so here in Denmark we had a good laugh about the "horse fair handshake" our PM gave Trump ... it's all about the willingness to trade and to do business, while also keeping the "upper hand" so to speak ... http://cphpost.dk/news/now-thats-a-handshake-lokke-positive-following-trump-meeting.html Denmark is the 4th European country to visit Trump, behind England (that traditinoally are always first in line), Germany, and the Irish who obviously have many voters in the US ....

4th of July ..... Denmark is the only country outside the US officially celebrating the US Independence Day 4th of July ... in the Rebild hills near Aalborg ... in fact, it has been said that Denmark becomes the 51st State of the US this one day every 4th July .. Some of the most notable Rebild 4th of July visitors representing the US in the past have been President Richard Nixon, George Bush, Ronald Reagan and his wife ... George Romney, United States Attorney General Janet Reno, whip (floor leader) of the US House of Representatives Steny Hoyer .. but also Walt Disney, Walter Cronkite, and actors Danny Kaye , Richard Chamberlain Raymond Burr and Keith Carradine ( great-grandson of one of the park’s original founders) ... singer, composer, actor, writer Pat Boone and obviously also the Danish-American comedian Victor Borge. http://www.danishrebildsociety.com/ http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20120627-worldwide-weird-celebrate-american-independence-in-denmark http://articles.latimes.com/1989-07-02/travel/tr-4522_1_united-states
Did you know that ? ... Gutzon Borglum, the creator of the famous Mount Rushmore National Memorial, was the son of a Danish immigrant... His full name John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum may sound a bit Spanish or French, but it could not be further from the truth ... in fact, the name Borglum originates from the Børglum Abbey and monastery, originally a royal farm which dated back as far as year 1000, if not earlier... and the name Mothe originate from Niels Sørensen Moth, who was a monk at the Børglum monastery at the time of the reformation. Monks were not allowed to get married and have children, but the Børglum monastery was dissolved when Denmark became officially Lutheran on 30 October 1536 and it became a royal property once again and so Niels Sørensen Moth then quit being a monk and became the first priest of Børglum Abbey and so he also got married and had two sons who also became priests, but they changed their last names to Børglum when they moved away from the Børglum monastery and parish, where they both lie buried. So if not for the Church reformation in 1536 in Denmark, leading to Niels Sørensen Moths change from being a monk to a lutheran priest, there would not have been a Gutzon Borglum and probably also no Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

who would you guys say is the biggest (popular or talented or respected) Scandinavian actor/actress in Hollywood right now? Mads Mikkelsen? Nikolaj Coster Waldau? Alexander Skarsgaard? Alicia Vikander?
Good question .... actually I would say that Viggo Mortensen is probably the most popular and biggest "name" in Scandinavia and Europe in general ... remember that he has also done movies in Spanish and he also write music and poetry : http://www.brego.net/viggo/viggo-art.php ...while Mikkelsen is everywhere and known by everyone because he take more jobs all over Europe ... even commercials, which Viggo probably would never do ... Everyone also know Nikolaj Coster Waldau, while the only Danish or European movie I can thnik of with Alexander Skarsgaard in it, was Lars Von Trier's Melancholia, so he has manily done Swedish TV and movies and TV series and movies in America and Canada so he is probably not quite up there with Nikolaj Coster Waldau or .Alicia Vikander .. at least not in Europe ... But the "new man in town" could be the Danish actor Claes Bang who mainly has done theatre and TV series in Denmark and Germany in the past, but suddenly got the leading role in Swedish director Ruben Ōstlund's Swedish/French/Danish Winner of the 2017 Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, The Square ... or as the Variety review put it .. quote "Danish actor Claes Bang, who might be the new Mads Mikkelsen (though he speaks much better English)," http://variety.com/2017/film/reviews/the-square-review-cannes-1202436834/ THE SQUARE - Press Conference - Cannes 2017 Trailer : I also think that it's only a matter of time before Norwegian Jakob Oftebro will make it in Hollywood. He has really become a household name, getting lead roles in Danish movies and TV series the past 3 years : http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1939580/?ref_=tt_cl_t6
But does Viggo consider himself Danish? I see him as American, though he does seem to do a lot of Argentine productions as well. Has he ever done any Danish work?
He has Danish citizenship and passport and speak perfect, but a bit old-fashioned Danish ... as for national teams he support Denmark and Argentina ... he has never done a Danish movie as such, only the Danish-Argentinian co-production Jauja, where he both was producer on the film, has the lead role as the 1880s, Danish Captain Gunnar Dinesen, who has gone to Argentina to take an engineering job with the Argentine army, bringing with him his teenage daughter Ingeborg (Viilbjørk Malling Agger) who creates quite a stir among the men, because she is the only female out there in the desert area. She falls in love with a young soldier, and one night they run away together. In the morning the Captain realises what has happened and decides to venture into enemy territory in a desperate search for his daughter, a solitary quest that takes us to a place beyond time, where the past vanishes and the future has no meaning..... Viggo mainly speak Danish but also a bit of Spanish through out the film and he also composed the flim soundtrack and album 'Please Tomorrow' ... Trailer :
Dude you are like WIKIPEDIA but with actual sources. Have you seen this film or that Argentine film he did a few years ago? Alatriste I believe the name was.
WW2 .... Her er London ! ( Here is/are London) During WW2 the English BBC were sending their daily news-broadcast about the progress of the war to Denmark, including secret messages to the Danish resistance movement ... also the liberation message on the 4th of May 1945, announcing that "Montgomery at this moment has declared that the German army in Holland,North-West Germany and Denmark has surrendered" (after a short pause 3:35 into the clip below) .. which surely is the most important radio news message in Danish history so far : The music played at the start of each WW2 BBC broadcast to Denmark was "The Prince of Denmark's March" (Prins Jørgens March) written in 1699 for and in honor of Prince George (Jørgen) of Denmark and Norway, Duke of Cumberland, who married Anne, Queen of Great Britain .... which I think is most excellently presented by the Wynton Marsalis version below :
