Mer ....

Den äkta, djupa innebörden av nyårsafton kommer bara när så det betyder den ultimata utgången från tidens väsen.

Vi kommer dock bara att tillbringa sådana tiden en gång i livstid 
- en gång kan finnas nog.

Helgen kommer, och då en gammal vinterfest

Tumlaren i Finland.
En tumlare hade simmat in i ett fiskenät och fanns fastnat där, enligt Yle.

Så två fiskare fick sig en ordentlig överraskning då de kollade sina nät, i Nagu.
Tumlaren (lat. Phocoena phocoena) är den enda valarten som regelbundet påträffas i Östersjön.
.. riktigt bra h'jul festen för alla!

Crimestop

Read:
Prosecutors have charged the founder of Insys Therapeutics and several of the company’s sales representatives and executives for their roles in an alleged conspiracy to bribe doctors to use its fentanyl spray for unapproved uses.
State and local governments have sued a host of drugmakers, alleging they deceptively marketed opioids and seeking to recoup what it costs to treat people addicted to the drugs.
The past two years have been a time of reckoning for pharmaceutical manufacturers over their role in promoting opioid drugs that have fed a national epidemic.
Lawsuits and media reports have accused Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, of aggressively marketing the powerful narcotic even after it knew the drug was being misused.
Intellectual honesty is a crime in any totalitarian country; but even in Finland it is not exactly profitable to speak and write the truth.

I respect these all 1

Greg Lake has passed away at the age of 69 - after his battle against cancer.
In his heyday, he had a monumental voice, wrote Bob Boilen.
It sat staunch atop the frenetic keyboards of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Keith Emerson, who took his own life (made a suicide) earlier on the year 2016.
Lake also managed a delicate balance in the surreal, uncharted territory of those first two King Crimson records back in 1969 and 1970.
Greg's soaring voice and skill as a musician will be remembered by all who knew his music and recordings he made with ELP and King Crimson,
Carl Palmer in his  statement.
I'm writing now because I'm going to present a song Epitaph - not so soon, but still I'm gonna do it.

Time heals

Disinformation campaign in social media didn’t end with the election of President Donald Trump.
Instead, they dug in, seeking to create further confusion and amplify the rifts that divided the country in the aftermath of Trump’s victory.
Perhaps Russian intelligence officials waged a campaign to spread disinformation and exploit social fractures during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, two new reports prepared for the Senate Intelligence Committee show.
When reporters began to uncover evidence of their efforts, the Russian trolls kept trolling, according to the researchers.
As articles began to emerge about election interference — pointing the finger at Russia — the IRA didn’t shy away or ignore it, 
experts affiliated with the firm New Knowledge wrote in their white paper, The Tactics & Tropes of the Internet Research Agency.
The researchers found that there were approximately 70 posts mocking the idea of Russian meddling. One account in particular, The Red Pill, repeatedly hammered on this narrative.
The Russian trolls targeted American media outlets that were covering the story, such as CNN and The New York Times, and pursued a broader assault on American information sources. The purpose of the campaign was to sow confusion and blur the lines between fact and fiction.
See the another document:
Maybe Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election had a significant effect. 
Hackers believed to be working for the country’s intelligence agencies gained access to the computer network of the Democratic National Committee and the email account of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta. Material stolen from those sources was released through WikiLeaks first in July and then about a month before the election. Day after day during October 2016, new files stolen from Podesta were released, frequently giving new ammunition to Clinton’s opponents, including then-candidate Donald Trump.
On Nov. 6, 2016
Once again, the original content on the left focused nearly exclusively on themes of Black culture, police brutality, and Black erasure — the election was barely mentioned.
There was one post on Instagram presenting a range of voter suppression and depression narratives, the report read (sure, it's not clear how much attention that one post generated).

Bohêmens ni bud

Hans Jæger (1854-1910) maintained that sexuality should be unrestricted in common relationships.
See the book Fra Kristiania-bohêmen by Hans Jæger. He  and other bohemians tried to live by the nine commandments Jæger had formulated in Fra Kristiania-bohêmen.
Bohêmens ni bud is a frequently cited text from the Kristiania Bohemian movement in Oslo:
Thou shalt write thine own life.
Thou shalt sever thy family roots.
Man kann seine Eltern nie slecht genug behandeln (Thou can not treat thy parents badly enough.)
Thou shalt never smite thy neighbor for less than five crowns.
Thou shalt hate and despise all farmers, such as Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.
Thou shalt never wear celluloid cuffs.
Neglect not to make a scandal in the Christiania Theater.
Thou shalt never repent.
Thou shalt take thine own life.

In 1886 Hans Jæger convicted and sentenced to 60 days' imprisonment and a fine of 80 kr for infringement of modesty and public morals, and for blasphemy.

богочеловечество

Still we can learn much about Vladimir Solovyov (1853-1900), who was one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century.
A Platonist and a clairvoyant visionary, as well as a close friend of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Solovyov was before anything a prophet who was granted three visions of Sophia, Divine Wisdom.
Dostoevsky lived in cellar holes, in dead houses and in the tragic bases of human souls. Solovjov lived among ideas, utopias and mysterious visions. 
So wrote K. Motjulsky in his excellent biography Vladimir Solovjov: life and learning, Artos 1997.
If we talk about Solovyov.
Who  was a poet and a profoundly Christian metaphysicist, his works include The Justification of the Good; War, Progress, and the End of History; and The Meaning of Love.
He was the founder of a tradition of Russian spirituality that brought together philosophy, mysticism, and theology with a powerful social message.  He was more: tri Rudolf Steiner said that Solovyov gave the voice to Someone: retained connection to the spirit of the Russian. This high being sounded in Solovyov's words:
 Признавая имманентное воскрешение, мы полагаем предел пытливости человеческой, направленной к трансцендентному, к мысли без дела - но, осуждая спиритизм и вообще стремление к внемирному, мы не стесняем, однако, человека, ибо показываем, что область доступного ему имманентного так широка, что нравственное, родственное чувство, всемирная любовь найдет в ней полное удовлетворение.
Речь идет о персонифицированном людским.

Krasnaya ploshchad - богочеловечество

There is a square, which had previously been called Pozhar, or burnt-out place, in reference to the fact that several buildings had to be burned down to make place for the square.
I have been there.
The name of the Red Square originates neither from the pigment of the surrounding bricks - which, in real, were whitewashed at certain periods - nor from the link between the colour red and communism, not at all.
Rather, the name came about because the Russian word красная, which means red is related to the word красивая 'krasivaya' meaning just beautiful -  it was applied to a small area between St. Basil's Cathedral, the Spassky Tower of the Kremlin, and the herald's platform called Lobnoe Mesto.

Mannen har gott om rötter

Om där man säger, att Finland är ett no bullshit-land om man jämför med Sverige, detta ljög.
Sverige är den bästa stället i världen.
Vill du se ryskland?
