Headline: no medicine like the blues

Black Magic, by Yvonne P. Chireau,  looks at the origins, meaning, and uses of Conjure―the African American tradition of healing and harming that evolved from African, European, and American elements―from the slavery period to well into the twentieth century.

(University of California Press, 2003)

Illuminating a world that is dimly understood by both scholars and the general public, she describes Conjure and other related traditions, such as Hoodoo and Rootworking, writing richly detailed history that presents the voices and experiences of African Americans and shows how magic has informed their culture.

However, blues healing was primarily focused on the fixing of relationships that had gone awry, and the resolution of oppressive romantic entanglements.

Bullshit!
Blues' healing
Ambience was rather depressive, so there was the blues healing from some by aspectacular.

Warning about serious force using

We've placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our policy against abusive behavior, specifically, the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group,

Twitter wrote now.
On Tuesday it put a warning label on a tweet from President Donald Trump in which he warned if protesters tried to set up an "autonomous zone" in Washington DC they would be

According to CNN no one Twitter users, including Trump's supporters, will be unable to retweet the offending tweet due to the measure.

Finland’s president warns that EU can be losing out to strongman politics
Our president Sauli Niinisto says rising geopolitical risk should be a wake-up call for bloc.

 It’s difficult to get a seat at the table because it’s a table for the strong and powerful,

he says according to news agency Bloomber/FT.

As he reflects on the new age of strongman politics that has left little space for nations like his own on the world stage, Finland’s president momentarily abandons the understatement for which his country is renowned.

A Cossack takes everything which is Loose, so you have to have a very straight opinion and say it clearly.

To Donald Trump ..according to John Bolton,
on the topic of Mr Putin, Mr Sauli Niinisto cites an old Finnish proverb:

A Cossack takes everything which is Loose, so you have to have a very straight opinion and say it clearly.

Yes, but, mr Bolton, this is confidential discussion within the framework of national security. If its not, there is no such a thing as a national security.

Could it really be true that despite the best diplomatic efforts and political outreach, the occupant of the White House, once considered the most powerful person on the planet, doesn’t know that Finland is an independent country.
Yes, I Think that its a true.
Senior Research Fellow Charly Salonius-Pasternak says to News Now Finland -magazine that if true, the episode is surely more nuanced than it might appear.

Did he say it to John Bolton when he was already in office, at a point where he’s already spoken to Niinistö,

asks Salonius-Pasternak.
Salonius-Pasternak also says that on a positive not the president’s alleged comments are more of a reflection of what we already know about Donald Trump, rather than about Finland’s bilateral relationship with America.

Warning

Now The Facebook says the Donald Trump's offending ad contained an inverted red triangle similar to that used by the Nazis to label opponents such as communists. Facebook said the ads violated its policy against organised hate.

We don't allow symbols that represent hateful organisations or hateful ideologies unless they are put up with context or condemnation,

the social network's head of security policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, said on Thursday according to BBC.
So Facebook says it has removed adverts for US President Donald Trump's re-election campaign that featured a symbol used in Nazi Germany.
Mr Trump's campaign team said they were aimed at the far-left activist group antifa, which it said uses the symbol.

the weak

I like to see that.
The president of U.S. Donald Trump looks like A very weak commander-in-chief during sleepy West Point commencement address.
He delivered an address to West Point Academy graduates on Saturday, hoping to use the military to prop up his failing presidency, but it was a complete flop as he only reminded everyone watching just how weak he is.

1) The president stuck closely to the teleprompter,
2) with slowly delivering each word without the emotion or passion
3) he stumbled over words and names, while showing that he apparently isn’t strong enough to hold up a glass of water with one hand.
I hope this episode was the beginning of the end.

So Donald Trump has liked to reserve the term `sleepy´ for his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, but his speech to West Point cadets showed that maybe the president, not Biden, deserves the moniker.

Yes, Biden, sunglasses on his head looks like that only the blind stick is missing in a picture. But I guess it's just an image.
Perhaps U.S. dominance in the world has already ended.

En Sannfinne igen; riksåklagaren kräver att polisen inleder förundersökning kring Ano Turtiainens tweet

Detta Ano Turtiainens,Sannf,
 tweet togs senare bort.

Tidigare i veckan sade Helsingforspolisen att en förundersökning inte behöver inledas kring fallet. Men nu riksåklagaren kräver att en förundersökning ska inledas kring riksdagsledamot Ano Turtiainens, Sannf, tweet om George Floyd, rapporterar tidningen Demokraatti.
Men

Turtiainen hade lagt upp en bild på amerikanen George Floyd som var nertryckt på marken av en polis, på bilden hade hans ansikte färgats ljusrött och under bilden fanns texten Pink Floyd. Enligt riksåklagare Raija Toivanen är det möjligt att detta tweet handla om hets mot folkgrupp - så finns det viktigt att Turtiainen hörs eftersom att tweeten kan uppfattas som rasistisk.

Sannfinländarnas partiordförande Jussi Halla-aho säger att det kan finnas skäl att utesluta Turtiainen ur partiet om han inte har för avsikt att ansöka om att få komma tillbaka till Sannfinländarnas riksdagsgrupp.

Sannfinländarnas partistyrelse vill nu ha en utredning av Turtiainen om han tänker söka om medlemskap i riksdagsgruppen på nytt efter årsskiftet.

Om han inte bryr sig om att komma tillbaka till riksdagsgruppen sker utträdet ur partiet per automatik, 

sa Halla-aho.
Redan tidigare uteslöts Turtiainen ur den Sannfinländska riksdagsgruppen. Engligt Yle sade Ville Tavio, ordförande av riksdagsgruppen, att Turtiainen utslöts på grund av att han upprepade gånger betett sig opassande på sociala medier.

i förra weckan visade det sig också att tweeten fick följder för Turtiainens företag. Företaget samarbetade bland andra med det kanadensiska styrkelyftsförbundet, som meddelade att man bryter kontakten.
Turtiainen var tidigare styrkelyftare, och har han efter karriären satsat på att sälja gymredskap via sitt företag Metal Sport & Gear.

The boycott is expanding - and will it bite?

The American fitness company Elitefts announced on Friday the termination of its commercial cooperation with the company of TrueFinns-MP Ano Turtiainen, who has been under fire over a racist tweet in which he mocked the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis; now the same decision made by The CPU.

The CPU board has voted to ban all Metal gear from our platforms, effective immediately. We cannot condone the actions of the company founder or support his messages of disrespect.
We hope our athletes and partners will stand with us in supporting those who need it most right now.

Because The CPU wholeheartedly supports movements that support equality for all and believes our cultural and personal differences should be celebrated.
This includes the #BlackLivesMatter movement that has recently gained significant social traction.. As an organization, we do our best to act with honesty and integrity and conduct ourselves in a manner consistent with our values and we expect this from our athletes, sponsors and partners.

Turtiainen's firm produces and sells powerlifting gear, recreational gear and gym training equipment. According to its website, part of the company’s profile includes the promotion of powerlifting and related events.

Edward Colston went away

In Bristol the statue of Edward Colston which had stood for more than 120 years, has been toppled.
There were wild cheers as the statue was yanked off its plinth and later sprayed with paint and dumped in the harbour.

här finns stormar

Det blåser hårt  i dag, det blåsade i går.
Storm höjer vågorna.
Också i dag på söndag är hård vind att vänta på många håll i landet, varnar Meteorologiska institutet.

Stormbyar väntas förekomma särskilt i det område som sträcker sig från Österbotten till Savolax region, sen södra delarna av Lappland.
Väl.

"That tweet was a mistake",

- On Friday, Elitefts announced the immediate end of its commercial relationship with Ano Turtiainen's company Metal Sport & Gear.

We have zero tolerance for anything so offensive such as the social media post that was made today by its founder,

this American company said.
- On Friday the parliamentary group of the far-right party True Finns decided to expel Ano Turtiainen temporarily, until the end of the year. Actually, permanently separated from the group.
This was some

shocking and simply wrong from the standpoint from universal human values.

Ano Turtiainen, a member of Finland’s populist party, has been expelled from the its parliamentary group in response to a series of racist social media posts by the lawmaker — the latest one was on George Floyd, tells Associated Press.

The opposition Finns Party decided Thursday to expel Ano Turtiainen from the group. He has since conceded it was racist, deleted the tweet and apologized to the party that was formerly known as the True Finns.
No.
He did not apologize nothing and he will not apply for readmission in the parliamentary group of the True Finns next year.
Turtiainen’s exit means meant the TrueFinns Party is no longer the largest group in the country’s parliament.

att "inte ångrar någonting"

Slutligen sannfinländarnas riksdagsledamot Ano Turtiainen kritiseras där för tweet om polisvåldet i USA - kan uteslutas ur riksdagsgruppen. I värsta fall kan Turtiainen straffas genom att uteslutas ur Sannfinländarnas riksdagsgrupp. Ordentligt.
Han är en upprepad brottsling.

Turtiainen tog på denna wecka ställning till fallet George Floyd och de rådande omständigheterna kring polisvåld i USA med ett inlägg på Twitter.
I inlägget ställde Turtiainen frågan (på finska):

Har ni märkt att mer `jämlikhet´ i ett välfärdsområde leder till mer härjande?

I inlägget fanns också en bild av George Floyd, nertryckt på marken av polis. Polisens knä är tryckt; mot Floyds nacke och hans ansikte har färgats ljusrött. Under bilden stod texten: "Pink Floyd".
 Inlägget innehöll en bild som gjorde narr av en död person. (Det har också tagits bort, men du kan se det) - yttrandefriheten är en central mänsklig rättighet, men att den inte är helt obegränsad.
Enligt en färsk obduktionsrapport kvävdes Floyd till döds till följd av det polisvåld han utsattes för. Hans död har väckt häftiga protester och demonstrationer, inte bara i USA utan också runt hela världen.
Vi vet att sanligen att det är inte första gången Ano Turtiainen har fått kritik för sitt beteende på sociala medier.
Turtiainens inlägg har kritiserats på sociala medier och anmälts till polisen flera gånger.
I skriverier på Facebook år 2015 berömde han personer som hade "tagit risker" och deltagit i "elimineringsuppdrag" riktade mot befintliga och planerade mottagningscentraler. Turtiainen dömdes till 50 dagsböter.
Turtiainen pekade också ut Finlands röda kors som "vår värsta fiende" och undrade om det inte var dags att

utvidga aktionerna mot fiendens ledning.

Efter domen uppgav Turtiainen till tidningen Länsi-Savo (egentligen Länkkäri, på finska) att han "inte ångrar någonting".

Police will soon investigate this crime?

Ano Turtiainen (true finns), who won a seat in the Parliament from Southern Finland, has tweeted about the case of George Floyd.
In this tweed (lately deleted) he asks, but the true essence of messages subtance, glorifies brutal violence and racist segregation of people.
Sure, The True Finns Party is not the only party with lawmakers with criminal convictions.
But Turtiainen in December 2015 described attempts to burn down reception centres as “elimination missions” that are crucial for “protecting our independence and security”.
Turtiainen filed an appeal against a fine issued on him for public incitement to an offence. He appeared before the Eastern Finland Court of Appeal in Kuopio in May 2019.

btw,
Syd Barrett created the name Pink Floyd. The name is derived from the given names of two blues musicians whose Piedmont blues records Barrett had in his collection, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
