Agreed. What's your take on the scandinavian HQ?

You're right, not all of them are in Sweden. But fun fact - there are such a huge amount of servers halls east of Stockholm that they have had mayor problems with the power supply for the surrounding towns

We've stayed neutral in both world wars for a reason - through telecom infrastructure - spying both sides, blackmailing etc

Another fun fact: Ericsson got caught in 2019 violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and got fined for 1 billion dollars. They also entered a deal with the DOJ and they've been under their control ever since. This could have been the big fall of the deep state. We'll see in the coming days

I live in Stockholm and have a lingering feeling that this town has been a main hub for the deep state since the dawn of time. We had the first central bank. The Wallenbergs control huge amounts of essential infrastructure the world over.

More fun facts: Börje Ekholm (CEO of Ericsson) is also an executive director at Alibaba

Wallenberg family has always been a main directing force behind the Noble Prize

They own Nasdaq

Yes both Norway and Sweden has huge deep state ties. Another rabbit hole is The Wallenberg family of Sweden, probably one of the most powerful in the world. Through their conglomorate Investor they control Ericsson, ABB and many other companies thats been building all the telecom and power infrastructure in about 180 countries. They owned more than 40% of the Swedish stock market a few years ago. Could probably shut down the grid in most countries. All Amazon AWS servers (and many others) are in Sweden as well.
