The Tuve Landslide, Sweden,1977.


Houses collapsed in the Tuve district of Gothenburg.

A landslide occurred in the district of Tuve in Gothenburg on November 30, 1977. The landslide started shortly after 4 p.m. and lasted about 4 minutes. The devastation was great. Nine people were killed and 65 homes were destroyed. The value of the destroyed was estimated at about 50 million SW Crowns (5,1 million USD)

I have examined this event on the assumption that it is part of the war on semen.

This operation contains all the usual elements that can be attributed to the CIA's Nazis. To perform an operation like this, expert knowledge in geotechnology was required. Of course, there were no CIA agents who possessed such knowledge. "Consultants" have been hired elsewhere. This is where my suspicions fall on people at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. The CIA's planning for measures after the landslide has included ensuring that "right" people were given the task of investigating the landslide. It is noteworthy that already on December 6, a research team from the US arrived in Gothenburg. They spent three days in the city. They published a report in 1980. It is concise. It is unlikely that the researchers were able to arrive at any crucial discoveries during their short time at Tuve. The purpose of the CIA was to allow the researchers to establish the framework for the Swedish investigation. Experts at Chalmers came to participate. The foremost experts in geology in Sweden are found at the Swedish Geotechnical Institute SGI, Linköping. They have also submitted a number of reports on the landslide. What was it then that the CIA wanted to sweep under the rug with the help of these geology experts? In the following, I point out circumstances that the reports have avoided dealing with.

Tuve is located in a part of Gothenburg that is included in the valley of the Göta River (the Gothenburg branch). The landslide occurred in a transverse valley to the valley of Kvillebäck, which extends across Hisingen from the Göta River to the Nordre River. The geotechnical conditions are complicated and date back to the ice age. The majority of the buildings at Tuve are built on land consisting of clay. This soil has the disadvantage that it is sensitive to changes in the hydrological system. If the clay is saturated with water, it loses its strength. If it is then burdened by buildings, a landslide can occur. Several landslides have occurred in the valley of the Göta River - for example Surte (1950) and Lödöse (1953). In this way the landslide at Tuve was not unique

The metrological conditions in Tuve during the months before the landslide could be determined. SMHI had a measuring station in nearby Säve. It turned out that August was extremely dry with only 14 mm of precipitation compared to normal 81 mm. During September and October, the rainfall was at large normal. The possible dry cracks that formed the soil layer during August could easily absorb this rainfall. November was unusually wet with 120 mm compared to normally only 63 mm

The above diagram indicates that November was not exceptional. There was speculation in the media that the abundant rainfall was the main cause of the landslide. The researchers rejected this theory.

Another theory dealt with was the culvert located at Tuve Kyrkväg.


The culvert was at the yellow X. Its task was to conduct the water from Tuvebäcken
(a creek) under the Tuve Kyrkväg and further east in the direction of the Göta River.

There had been information from residents in the area that the heavy rainfall in November meant that the culvert did not have the capacity to drain all the water from Tuvebäcken. The section of Tuve Kyrkväg which is green and shown in the picture above had undergone a rebuild in the 1930s. The road was built on a embankment that was about 1- 1.5 m high. At the culvert the height was about 3 m. This embankment came to function as a pond when the water collected on the west side of the section. The area was flooded.


The above sketch shows a cross section of Tuve Kyrkväg at the culvert. To the left is the
embankment visible. The pressure from the water-soaked clay against the "startblock" is
indicated by the designation P_W (water pressure). Above the clay, water was collected against
the embankment. Source: SGI, Report No 10, Tuveskredet 1977-11-30.

The private investigators have found that the reason for the flooding was that the culvert was clogged. Here the Nazis had succeeded  to prevent the flow through the culvert by clogging it. The area west of Tuve Kyrkväg became water-sick. Shortly before the landslide, witnesses had observed that a crack had formed in the roadway along the green section (about 80 m). Finally, the pressure on the embankment became so heavy that it collapsed. The start of the Tuve landslide was a fact. The "startblock" was on sloping bedrock. The shear strength of the clay was equal to zero in the block, which caused it to slip away when the embankment collapsed. Then sliding chunk ("glidsjok")" after sliding chunk slid off in a south-easterly direction and crashed into the river valley. From a geotechnical point of view, the choice of a dam at the culvert was optimally. As shown in the sketch above, the "startblock" sloped relatively steep, which facilitated the initiation of the landslide. Thereupon the "startblock" pushed the first sliding chunk and a huge landslide had started. People with expert knowledge of geology may have been responsible for the selection of this site for the start of the landslide. It is likely that the perpetrators had access to maps used when the area was exploited in the 1960s. Then there were maps showing the appearance of the bedrock at the "green" section.

down you can see how Tuvevägen was pushed down. Six of the fatalities were living at addresses
at Almhöjdsvägen. In the middle of the picture I have marked the location of the culvert with

Through interviews of witnesses to the landslide, researchers have been able to compile the landslide order:

Area 1.
Shortly after 4 pm, a crack occurred at Tuve Kyrkväg. The crack is highlighted in the sketch above. Parts of the Tuve Kyrkväg collapsed in a southeastern direction. The houses at Snarbersstigen slid away in a south-easterly direction.

Area 2 a.
The houses at Snarberget slipped away in a retrogressing slide.

Area 2 b.
The houses at Tångelund slid off at the same time as the houses in Area 2 a.

Area 2 c.
The houses at Hedelundsvägen slid off at about the same time as the houses in Area 2 a and 2 b.

Area 3 a.
The houses at Tångenvägen slid off.

Area 3 b.
The remaining houses at Tångelund slid off at about the same time as the houses in area 3a.

Area 4 - 7.
A retrogressing landslide occurred at Almhöjdsvägen. The row houses slid away one by one.

The entire landslide was over after about 4 minutes. It was about 800 m long. The width of it was greatest where the landslide stopped, about 600 m. The height from the ground surface to the bottom of the landslide bed was about 10 m at its greatest.

In other operations that have had the nature of disaster, the CIA has always ensured that the selected target group is hit as hard as possible. My assumption is that Jehovah's had great insemination activity at Tuve at that time.

After the landslide, some areas were rebuilt. Here they made reinforcements of the soil layer down to the bedrock with the help of injected concrete.
