.357.

This is coolbert:

This particular blog entry is borderline germane. Pertains more to the “black arts” [espionage/subversion/clandestine operations], etc. But is still an item worthy of consideration! Especially in light of the previous blog!

I have in mind here the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme. A crime, NEVER SOLVED, NEVER BROUGHT TO RESOLUTION!!

Olof Palme, the sitting Prime Minister of his nation, not having bodyguards present, gunned down in public by a person whose identity was never firmly established. An assassination, the perpetrator of which was never brought to justice!!



Indeed, the Swedish police were so unaccustomed to “handling” a crime of this nature that their investigation can AT BEST be described as INEPT!!

The firearm used in this most heinous and unprovoked crime was an AMERICAN.357 magnum revolver!! The usage of which is almost totally unheard of in Sweden!!

Regarding the usage of the AMERICAN.357 magnum caliber revolver:

1. That a Swede would even own such a weapon is highly unlikely!

2. That a Swede would even use such a weapon in a crime is even more highly unlikely!

3. That a Swede would even use such a weapon to perpetrate a crime of this stunning magnitude is even more highly unlikely yet!!

[ammunition too would be a consideration? Full-charge magnum ammo of the .357 caliber would be hard to obtain for a European? Especially for a Swede, living in a nation with strict, even draconian firearms laws. I am making the assumption that full-charge ammo was used!]

What are we to make of this?

Mind you now - - this is all speculation on my part! A very thoughtful and malevolent mentality was at work here? That this WAS NOT merely a random street killing is without question? Done with the intention of plausible deniability while pointing an accusatory finger in another direction simultaneously? Practitioners of the “black arts” as was the NKVD of 1940?
