Kosackerna tar allt som inte är fastbultat

För Europa (och Finland) är saken klar. Vi känner Ryssland. Vladimir Putin ser varje vapenvila som ett andrum inför nästa krig, enligt Aftonbladet.

En dålig fred i Ukraina där Vladimir Putin står som vinnare är en inbjudan till Ryssland att inom några år ge sig på ett Nato-land. Det förstår de flesta europeiska regeringar. En rättvis vapenvila för Ukraina är därför ett nationellt säkerhetsintresse för oss.

Möjligheten att Ryssland skulle acceptera det är naturligtvis väldigt liten. Regimen fungerar som en kriminell bensinmack. Den exporterar olja och korruption till andra länder.

St. Petersburg singer Diana Loginova may be charged with defamation

St. Petersburg singer Diana Loginova may be charged with discrediting the army and other offenses. Street singer Naoko may face two administrative charges. 

Videos of her performances in the city center have gone viral on social media. Noize MC has been designated a foreign agent by the Russian Ministry of Justice. The footage shows Diana performing a song by the foreign agent Noize MC, which is banned from distribution. The crowd enthusiastically sings along.

Loginova and her fellow bandmates were filmed earlier this week performing Swan Lake Cooperative, a song by Russian rapper Noize MC. Video footage of their performance shows the crowd actively singing along with them.

Noize MC was labeled a foreign agent by the Russian government in November 2022, and lives in exile since the start of the full-scale war.

His song Swan Lake Cooperative was labeled extremist in the spring of 2025, with the St. Petersburg Prosecutor's Office claiming it poses a threat to children’s health.

The winner of the Wildlife Photographer

The winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition was announced in London on Tuesday evening.

The photo was taken by South African wildlife photographer Wim van den Heever in the abandoned diamond mining town of Kolmanskop in Namibia.

According to the competition press release, what makes the photo particularly impressive is that the brown hyena in the photo is the world's rarest species of hyena. It moves mostly at night and alone.

End of the war will come one day

Ukraine can use American-supplied Atacm long-range missiles to strike inside of Russia, but before that the US administration had blocked strikes inside of Russia, only allowing the Ukrainian military to use shorter-range missiles to strike in Ukrainian territory seized by Russia.

President Donald J Trump long opposed allowing Ukraine to strike Russia, but  now Trump has recently taken an interest in the possibility of Ukrainian strikes deep into Russia. 

The White House confirmed July reports that Trump discussed with Zelenskyy whether Ukraine would be able to strike St. Petersburg and Moscow with U.S.-supplied weapons. 

Recently, though, he did write at the end: "Interesting times ahead!".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that:

"Right now, the signals coming from Russia are, to be honest, simply indecent. They are trying to wriggle out of the need to hold a meeting. They do not want to end this war. They continue massive attacks against Ukraine and extremely intense assaults on the front line. And on top of that, they are launching missiles at an American enterprise -- just like they do at many of our other completely civilian targets."

Zelenskyy will continue diplomatic discussions with partners and encouraged greater pressure on Russia to end the war, which began when Putin's forces invaded Ukraine in Feb. 2022.

The Autumn Equinox

Return of the sun by Odd Nerdrum 

Astronomical Event: The Winter Solstice occurs around December 20th or 21st in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the point when the Sun's path is lowest in the sky and daylight is at its shortest. Symbolic Meaning: Following the Winter Solstice, the days gradually become longer, a change many cultures have interpreted as the sun's return to the earth.

Now the autumn equinox 2025 - we are a quarter of a year away, towards the solstice.

The new Russian Offensive Campaign

Artwork by Banksy. (Source: Reuters)

Look at this one.

The Kremlin appears to be conducting a coordinated information campaign threatening Finland. Wow!

"Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed on September 18 that the Finnish government’s “neutral veneer peeled off” and that revanchism is “literally on the rise” in Finland.

According to Institute of the Study of War (ISW) Russian Environmental Protection, Ecology, and Transport Special Presidential Representative Sergei Ivanov claimed on September 18 that Russian-Finnish relations “practically do not exist” and will not improve in the near future as Finland is a NATO member and is “actively calling for strengthening  eastern border.”

Ivanov claimed that the Finnish population is unsatisfied with the Finnish government and alleged that the lack of Russian tourists has led to “depopulation” and a weakening economy in southeastern Finland. Russian State Duma International Affairs Committee First Deputy Head Alexei Chepa similarly claimed on September 18 that Finland’s NATO membership caused Russians to stop buying property and visiting Finland, leading to “depopulation.”

Ivanov is a member of Putin’s inner circle, serving as the deputy director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) from 1998 to 1999 when Putin headed the organization.

Ivanov also served as the defense minister, deputy prime minister, and chief of staff of the Presidential Administration. Ivanov’s removal from his position as the chief of staff of the Presidential Administration in 2016 was likely a demotion at the time, but the Kremlin appears to be using him to reinforce ongoing Russian efforts to threaten Finland, reports ISW.

Kremlin newswire TASS and other Russian state media outlets notably amplified Lavrov’s, Ivanov’s, and Chepa’s statements.

ISW reports:

"The similar wording in both Ivanov’s and Chepa’s claims and TASS’ amplification of their comments suggests that this is a concerted top-down Kremlin informational effort targeting Finland. High-ranking Kremlin officials have increased threats against Finland in recent weeks, including by using language that mirrors the Kremlin’s false justifications for its invasions of Ukraine.

ISW continues to assess that the playbook Russia is currently using to threaten NATO mirrors the playbook Russia previously used to set informational conditions justifying its aggression against Ukraine."

Censorship of Banksy’s mural

This Banksy’s mural does not seem to be tied to any particular event or cause, it emerged just two days after a London protest against the ban on Palestine Action led to nearly 900 arrests. 

Despite the acclaim, social media photos suggest the mural has already been covered with large plastic sheets and flanked by two metal barriers, It´s making it no longer visible to passersby or Banksy fans eager to see it up close.

The piece by the enigmatic artist has been widely praised on Instagram.

Бешеных собак пристреливают

Andrey Volna:

Сегодня россияне ударили ФАБами по не оккупированной ими Константиновке Донецкой области. 

Многие здания повреждены. В том числе горит жилая многоэтажка. 

А вот новости параллельного мира: Трамп в своем ночном (по Киеву) интервью дал две недели на завершение войны. В который уже раз? Это помимо 24 часов, 100 дней, 50 дней, 8-10 дней…

Неужели он (его окружение) не видит, как путин над ним издевается буквально? Уничтожая при этом мирную Украину. Страну, что не хотела и не хочет воевать. Но понимает, что в случае капитуляции будет уничтожено всё и все. 

... "Мир перевернулся, показав, что в нем торжествует право сильного. Лидеры демократического мира, где вы? Против силы может быть только сила, а все эти разговоры-переговоры, игра по правилам бессильны против того, кто уже давно играет без всяких правил" (Tatyana Sycheva)

The spread of Max increases surveillance of Russian citizens

Source: Apa.az

According to CNN The Russian government will require the state-backed Max messenger app to be pre-installed on all smartphones and tablets sold in the country, in a move that could increase surveillance of Russian citizens.

According to an official statement Max will be installed on devices from September 1. The RuStore app, a homegrown rival to Apple’s App Store, will also be pre-installed on iPhones. In addition, from January 1, the Lime HD TV program, which provides free access to Russian state TV channels, will be automatically installed on Smart TVs in the country.

Max was launched by the state-controlled social media group VK in March as a replacement for VK Messenger, which - this one - has been on the government’s list of mandatory apps since 2023.

"The new app allows users to send messages, make audio and video calls and send money, with additional features planned in the future. These will include the integration of a travel booking app", VK said in its latest earnings report. 

Around 18 million people have registered with Max.

"Russia’s crackdown on foreign social media Max is similar to China’s hugely successful WeChat app, which gives users an all-in-one outlet to message, post on social media and make payments and reservations."

User activity on WeChat is most likely under heavy state surveillance, experts previously told CNN.

Oslo has officially attributed the cyberattack to its neighbour

Norway spy chief blames Russian hackers for dam sabotage in April.

According to Reuters Russian hackers briefly took control of a dam in Norway earlier this year, the head of the Nordic country's counter-intelligence agency said on Wednesday, the first time Oslo has officially attributed the cyberattack to its neighbour.

While in command of the dam in Bremanger, western Norway, on April 7, the hackers opened a flood gate and released 500 litres (132 gallons) of water per second for four hours before the attack was detected and stopped, authorities previously said.

Russian Police can freeze bank accounts without court orders

President Vladimir Putin has signed a new law granting police broad powers to freeze individuals’ bank accounts without a court order. 

The expanded powers could increase the risk of arbitrary or unjustified asset seizures.

The law also imposes new obligations on financial institutions.

Banks and money transfer services must provide law enforcement with full information about a citizen’s accounts and transactions within three days of a request, or within 24 hours if the request is submitted electronically.

According to The Vedomosti business daily the legislation provides no specific list of crimes that qualify for account freezes and fails to outline key procedural safeguards.

There is no indication, for example, of whether the amount frozen must correspond to the alleged damages, he said. There´s even under the current legal system, property belonging to third parties is sometimes confiscated in economic crime cases without sufficient evidence of illegal origin.

While the law is officially aimed at enhancing tools to combat cyber-enabled financial crimes, critics fear it could be used more broadly to target political opponents, journalists or activists, particularly in an environment where financial pressure is increasingly being used as a tool of state control.

Church of Scientology used do that: fake interviews as revenge?

Clint Eastwood wanted Deadline to get out the word that a recent interview purportedly done with him is absolutely bogus. 

Eastwood calls bullshit on Austrian Interview where he assailed lack of originality in Film: 

“That Interview Is Entirely Phony”. 

Published in the German-language Austrian newspaper Kurier, Eastwood is quoted assailing film remakes, franchises and a general lack of original ideas. While the newspaper only has a circulation around 100,000, the post spread virally. Unfortunately, Deadline was among those publications that aggregated the report, so that reach was much greater.

 It’s only fair that Eastwood gets the final word.  

Eastwood said in a statement to Deadline:

“A couple of items about me have recently shown up in the news" ....

“I thought I would set the record straight. I can confirm I’ve turned 95. I can also confirm that I never gave an interview to an Austrian publication called Kurier, or any other writer in recent weeks, and that the interview is entirely phony.” 

In Finland too, a few decades ago, there were several fake, seemingly credible interviews, including Andy McCoy. One magazine went down a treat when it interviewed “Riitta Uosukainen’s daughter”. The magazine (IL) suspected, in line with the international trend, that it was a case of the Church of Scientology’s retaliation against publications that had critically criticized the cult on their pages. 

And here’s the coincidence: Kurier seems to have adopted a critical tone when writing about celebrity Scientologists.

Hostile Influencing, by Russia, and Finland’s vulnerabilities

 

Russia's hybrid influence is targeting Finland. It is perceived as a threat.

Russia often involve spreading false and misleading information to destabilize states …whether by deepening societal tensions or influencing political processes in favor of a particular party.

Finland has experienced a sharp increase in GPS disturbances. Affected flights forced airports to switch to other navigation systems, preventing some flights from landing. Over 2,800 incidents reportedly affected flights in 2024 compared to just 200 the year prior. The sudden increase raised suspicions of deliberate interference by Russia.

Though Finland was able to maintain a strong defense capability and carefully managed relations with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine changed Finland’s national security context radically.

We feel fear and hate. Finland’s 5.6 million citizens share a land border of more than 1280 kilometers with Russia. 

Hybrid challenges

Hybrid threats have been a longstanding national concern Iin Finland, and these concerns have escalated since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. The related concepts of hybrid threats and hybrid warfare, often used interchangeably, encompass a wide spectrum of activities, from influence campaigns, economic pressure and covert political maneuvering, to sabotage, cyberattacks and instrumentalization of migrant flows.

To be clear, people don't trust car brand Tesla

 

Tesla speeds up odometers on its electric vehicles so they fall out of warranty faster, saving Elon Musk's company from having to pay for repairs.

So says The plaintiff Nyree Hinton: the odometer on the 2020 Model Y he bought in December 2022 with 36,772 miles on the clock ran at least 15% fast, based on his other vehicles and driving history, and for a while said he drove 72 miles a day when at most he drove 20.

Hinton, a Los Angeles resident, said this caused his 50,000-mile basic warranty to expire well ahead of schedule, leaving him with a $10,000 suspension repair bill that he thought Tesla should cover.

"By tying warranty limits and lease mileage caps to inflated 'odometer' readings, Tesla increases repair revenue, reduces warranty obligations, and compels consumers to purchase extended warranties prematurely." 

Don't trust Tesla.

בונאונצ'ר (Bonaventura): מסע הנפש אל אלוהים

"הדרך לאלוהים" עוסק במתח הקיים בין הזמני לנצחי ובין האנושי לאלוהי. הוא 

עוסק ביחס שבין האדם לאלוהיו, המכיל בתוכו סתירה: מצד אחד האדם מנסה להתקרב לאלוהים, ובו זמנית הוא מרגיש שהוא מתרחק ממנו. כמו כן, הדרך לאלוהים היא למעשה דרכים רבות השוכנות בנפש האדם עצמו. האדם כילד, כנער, כבחור, כאיש בגיל העמידה, וכזקן - התופסים את הדרך הזאת כדרכים שונות .

אבל הדרך החדשה שלנו מבוססת על מודעות מלאה בנשמתנו.

Man has the karmic right to realize all the secrets of the Universe

Without mental, cognitive clairvoyance, humanity will hardly survive.

We live in a time where this is being squeezed to here.

Who is Sorath?

Rudolf Steiner tells us that every planet has its good spirit and its demon. Sorath is theSun demon and is the direct Antagonist of Christ the Sun Being.

Rudolf Steiner does not mention Sorath’s Hierarchical affinity, nor his origins, except to say that he does not belong to our Solar System, or the evolution of the Earth in any way.

He tells us, Sorath originates in other world periods and has acquired the tendencies of other world period. 

We do not realize this, which is happening all the time - the development steps already taken by humanity are being destroyed.

I will give the answer:

Cosmic connection is mind_dizzying; there is nothing higher for us to realize.

But at the same time it is a present reality, which we fundamentally do not understand. We see that everything is going to hell, but we do not understand.

However, man has the karmic right to realize what is not taught anywhere: the secrets of the Universe.

Sergei O. Prokofieff considers the possibility that Sorath's task of the Dynamis is to bring about balance in the solar system.

Exusiai during Earth evolution, was to breathe life into to "I" of human being, so it we must understand  understand how Sorath would work against both principles, but desiring on the one hand to bring about an imbalance that is capable of throwing Earth Evolution off its course and thwarting the work of the highest expression of the Cosmic ‘I’ or ego.

No for gender identification conversion therapy in Finland

Bild: Timppa Airaksinen.

Recent Finnish Parliament  on approved a citizens' initiative aimed at banning sexual orientation and gender identification conversion therapy in Finland.

The citizens' initiative calling for the ban was submitted to Parliament in August 2021, after being backed by more than 50,000 Finns who signed the document. 

PM supports conversion therapy ban initiative The votes on the citizens' initiative fell 125 to 49.

Votes fell 125 in favour of the ban and 49 opposed.

Despite the strong parliamentary majority, Justice Minister Leena Meri (true finnish) said her ministry will not advance the proposal during the current government term.

Conversion therapy refers to various methods aimed at trying to turn, by sects, members of sexual minorities into heterosexuals. 

The practice is usually carried out by priests, pastoral care workers, youth workers and others in some conservative religious communities.

Se in i en annan värld.

Odd Nerdrums målning med titeln "Isola".

Clairvoyance innebär att titta in i en annan dimension av verkligheten.

Det finns en annan Verklighet.

Vi behöver gå utanför de gängse "vetenskapliga" normerna och dogmerna för att komma närmare och förstå andliga upplevelser, sayer Markus Olofsson.

Enligt Olofsson börjar fler och fler förstå att sökande andligt  dimension, inte nödvändigtvis religiöst sökande, inte är en trend, utan något djupt nedärvt och nödvändigt för oss alla.

Dimensionerna i kvantfysik är inte dimensioner som i sci-fi. 

Det är den bra starten.

Dimensionerna av denna andra verklighets existens måste mötas på deras egna villkor. Vi måste ha den sensoriska förmågan att undersöka, sa Albert Einstein efter att ha lyssnat på Rudolf Steiners presentation.

Trump claims Politico is a “left wing rag"

In the USA, President Donald Trump spread once again unfounded claims, that the government had paid Politico and other news media outlets for positive coverage of Democrats. Records show agencies paid for subscriptions.

According to The New York Times President Trump amplified unfounded claims on Thursday that the government had been paying news media outlets to generate positive coverage of Democrats.

The conspiracy theories appear to have been generated by records showing payments for something much more innocuous: subscriptions.

Mr. Trump said on his Truth Social site that “billions of dollars” from U.S.A.I.D. and other agencies had improperly gone to the “fake news media.” He spread a claim that Politico, a “left wing rag,” had received $8 million, and questioned if The New York Times and other outlets had also received payments.

Add:

Polittico, 2017

« Trump's first visit to Soviet Moscow in 1987 looks, with hindsight, to be part of a pattern. The dossier by the former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele asserts that the Kremlin had been cultivating Trump for “at least five years” before his stunning victory in the 2016 US presidential election. This would take us back to around 2011 or 2012.

In fact, the Soviet Union was interested in him too, three decades earlier. The top level of the Soviet diplomatic service arranged his 1987 Moscow visit. With assistance from the KGB. It took place while Kryuchkov was seeking to improve the KGB's operational techniques in one particular and sensitive area. The spy chief wanted KGB staff abroad to recruit more Americans. »

Reintroduction of Wolf

Ecological Solutions and Evidence: Volume 6, Issue 1 
January–March 2025

They say: "Our aim is to provide new information to inform these ongoing and future discussions around human-wolf conflict and wolf reintroductions both in the UK and elsewhere."

"Our work provides further evidence of the role of large carnivores in assisting ecosystem recovery and delivering the nature-based solutions required to address the climate emergency."

This substantial carbon sequestration and the potential financial benefit related to wolf reintroduction may influence landowner and land manager perspectives around large carnivores. Carefully designed benefit sharing mechanisms would be needed to ensure any financial benefits are shared equitably across landowners, land managers and local communities. Comprehensive stakeholder engagement would be needed well in advance of any proposed reintroduction to identify potentially affected groups and address challenges of co-existing with large carnivores.

Here we go

"This fish strikes the hook."  (Art by Ville Ranta)

Letter to John Bolton

Former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin.

John Bolton:

"It is unconscionable to allow Russia to assault Ukraine’s sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to aid in their fight, and then sell out the Ukrainians by conceding the loss of their territory and NATO security guarantees or membership.  By making these and others concessions before negotiations even started, Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin on Ukraine. "

Dear John, I will say ...

The EU had seven years to resolve the conflict, but our weak leaders couldn't do it, they just froze it.

Here's unfortunately the result  of the weakness of our leaders.

Ukraine is losing more than just the Crimean peninsula. Much more.

Former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin see that there will be raised concerns as a very worrying rise in conservative, masculine forces across the global stage.

Reflecting on the war in Ukraine, Marin adding that “Europe couldn’t cope on our own”. 

She emphasis the need for Europe to have “strategic autonomy”, saying that there will be “one reality that we have to wake up to and we need to do better in the future."

“The thing that we should learn isn’t that we should depend on the US, the thing that we should learn is actually that we should be more independent. We need that strategic autonomy on defence, on energy, that we learned when Russia used energy as a weapon towards the European Union.”

I agree.

The Archetypes and happiness

The Archetypes and Collective Unconscious, by C.G. Jung.

Here comes Carl Jung's paradox: 

“All factors which are generally assumed to make for happiness can, under certain circumstances, produce the contrary. No matter how ideal your situation may be, it does not necessarily guarantee happiness.”

So it was in 1960, one journalist Gordon Young asked Jung:

"What do you consider to be more or less basic factors making for happiness in the human mind?" 

Jung answered with five elements:

1. Good physical and mental health.

2. Good personal and intimate relationships, such as those of marriage, the family, and friendships.

3. The ability for perceiving beauty in art and nature.

4. Reasonable standards of living and satisfactory work.

5. A philosophic or religious point of view capable of coping successfully with the vicissitudes of life 

 .. and can structure the world, I think so.

“From the unconscious there

emanate determining influences…

which, independently of tradition,

 guarantee in every single individual

a similarity and even a sameness

of experience, and also of the way

it is represented imaginatively.” 

(The Archetypes and 

the Collective Unconscious, Carl Jung)

”How can we stop what’s happening”

Obama joked to Bush: 'How can we Stop what's happening?'

Joke it that: No-one can du it.

Barack Obama asked George W. Bush how they could “stop what’s happening” during President Trump’s inauguration on Monday, according to a lip reader Jackie Gonzalez. 

This deaf woman who shares her interpretations of celebrities’ and politicians’ private conversations on social media, made a now-viral video revealing what she believed the two former presidents were discussing during a candid moment at Trump’s inauguration.

Now you see a footage of Obama and Bush sharing a laugh during Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. It took off online Monday, with many internet sleuths wondering what the 43rd and 44th presidents were joking about.

Social media giants serving totalitarianism?

On the social media platform Instagram, owned by Meta, you can currently not search for content with various words referring to US Democrats or the left.

Many tried to search for content with the hashtags #democrat #obama or #leftist, for example. 

No results were shown. 

Instead, Instagram said it had hidden the results because they may contain sensitive content.

The new US administration has immediately switched to undemocratic methods.
