Summary

Refugees from Africa and the Middle East control ever bigger areas in Sweden. Swedish police chief Dan Eliasson begged for help on national TV: the police can no more ensure law and order and feel left behind by the politicians. The number of no go areas in Sweden has risen from 55 to 61.

Disproof

Recurring disinformation. There are no "no-go-zones" in Sweden. In a report published in June 2017, the Swedish Police Authority identified 61 areas around the country that have become increasingly marred by crime, social unrest and insecurity. Of these 61 areas, 23 are considered to be particularly vulnerable. While the Police Authority has stated that working in these vulnerable areas is often difficult, it is not the case that police do not go to them or that Swedish law does not apply there. On the contrary, more, not less, effort from the Police Authority are put into these specific areas. bit.ly/2kRGskC,

Disinfo: Ukrainians from government-controlled Donbas territories are traveling to the self-proclaimed...

Ukrainians from government-controlled Donbas territories are traveling to the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic for free medical treatment, since it is difficult to obtain medical care in Ukraine, particularly free care, which is readily available in separatist controlled territories.

Disproof

The myth of free medical care in the self-proclaimed republics has been debunked more than once bit.ly/2v2ehAl, . The claims about the lack of medical care in Ukraine have also been refuted, for example the funding for cancer care increased from 397 million hryvnia in 2016 to 445 million in 2017. bit.ly/2u3PBdd,

Disinfo: In the USA and Europe, children are becoming more stupid

In the USA and Europe, children are becoming more and more stupid. Children in Europe are becoming more similar to their American peers in their lack of education and obvious stupidness.

Disproof

No evidence given to the claims. The article refers to a Danish newspaper Berlingske but doesn't provide any links to the original source. Anyhow, it is easy to trace: bit.ly/2tM3RVo, In fact, referred Danish article tells how young people's knowledge of fresh ingredients and cooking is becoming more and more narrow. It doesn't make a link with people's cooking skills and intelligence.
