Early life

Carlqvist was born on 9 November 1960 in Vantörs Township, and was raised in Helsingborg. She studied at the School of Journalism in Gothenburg.

Career

She worked as a journalist at the Kvällsposten/IDag and Punkt, se.[1][2]

In the early part of her career Carlqvist was a mainstream journalist writing copy for several well established newspapers and magazines in Sweden, however around 2005 she became interested in what she regarded as societal problems that were developing in Sweden from the Swedish Government's foreign immigration policies, and began to produce articles on this theme. In 2009 she was fired by the magazine Villaliv, and in 2011 she was fired by the newspaper Barometern for an article she had written for publication defending the Sweden Democrats, a far-right political party.[3]

In July 2012, she founded the Swedish language news-sheet Dispatch International with Lars Hedegaard, which was distributed by the Sweden Democrats as part of its election campaign.[4][5] The publication's general theme was islamophobia, and its stated purpose was, according to Carlqvist, "to report what was not being reported" in the Swedish mainstream media with regard to Third World mass immigration into Swedish society.[5]

She was employed by the Gatestone Institute until 2016.[2] In February 2017 she was employed as a Fox News contributor.[6]

In the United Kingdom's politics she endorsed Anne Marie Waters for the 2017 UK Independence Party leadership election, who came in second place.[7]

Carlqvist has been described as engaging in Holocaust denial by Hope not Hate.[8]

Personal life

She is a member of the Asatru Folk Assembly.[9][10]
