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.

[5]
She was employed by the Gatestone Institute from 2015 until 2016, when she was fired for having expressed support for neo-Nazis, [1] and also formerly wrote for the blog Gates of Vienna . [6]
After having been affiliated with the counter-jihad movement, she had by 2016 shifted to becoming affiliated with white supremacist and antisemitic views, and neo-Nazi groups such as the Nordic Resistance Movement. [1] Carlqvist has been described as engaging in Holocaust denial by Hope not Hate, and has disassociated herself from the counter-jihad movement, bemoaning its "Jewish funders". [2] She stated to be a member of the white supremacist neo-pagan organization Asatru Folk Assembly in 2018. [7]
In March 2017, Carlqvist was interviewed as an ''expert'' on Fox Business by Cheryl Casone. However, Fox never stated that she has an involvement in far-right and neo-Nazi politics. Carlqvist explained that Sweden has reached a ''critical mass'' of immigrants who ''don't love Sweden or the Swedish people''. [8]
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, she expressed support for Russia and Vladimir Putin, whom she believes ''holds family, church and nation supreme''. [9] She also claimed that ''most Russians love Putin and his policies that have given them faith and hope'' and that "Putin has never said that he wants to expand Russia's borders, only that he does not want NATO in the neighboring country".

The Swedish alphabet is a basic element of the Latin writing system used for the Swedish language. The 29 letters of this alphabet are the modern 26-letter basic Latin alphabet plus ⟨å⟩, ⟨ä⟩, and ⟨ö⟩, in that order. It contains 20 consonants and 9 vowels. The Latin alphabet was brought to Sweden along with the Christianization of the population, although runes continued in use throughout the first centuries of Christianity, even for ecclesiastic purposes, despite their traditional relation to the Old Norse religion. The runes underwent partial "latinization" in the Middle Ages, when the Latin alphabet was completely accepted as the Swedish script system, but runes still occurred, especially in the countryside, until the 18th century, and were used decoratively until mid 19th century.
