Finland's preparedness isn't exactly good for business

RE

This author is a deep state hater.  Perhaps Russia would like to get along with Finland?  This thought does not cross this member of the Atlantic Council's mind. 

Well, everything is being spun to place the blame for any deprivation on Putin.  As far as the media is concerned, it's not an energy crisis, it's a political crisis with Putin as the bad guy who wants to invade and holding them hostage to Ruskie gas supply.

This is how it lines up on the geopolitical level.  If you join with the BRICS, you get your energy from Russia and China.  FFs from the Ruskies, Renewables from the Chinese.  Line up with NATO, you get your energy from the FSoA, Canada and the House of Saud.  That's why the BRICS set up their own credit and clearing system, so they wouldn't be hostage to the Dollar and SWIFT in political and economic disputes.

Far as Russia's relationship with the Finns, the only thing important is their geographic position on the Baltic Sea, right across from the Ruskie naval installation in St. Petersburg.  It's too far north to be a pipeline route for gas going west from Russia to Europe.  If they were to start pumping Oil from the Arctic Ocean it could be important, but with the current glut and price of oil, nobody is going to drill the Arctic.

Anyhow, I don't think the Finns are worried about invasion.  I think they're worried about energy shortages and supply chain failures.

In-group and out-group.  La de dah.  The never ending manipulation of the fabric of human relations by alpha-male opportunists.

Conventional wisdum: Hate thy enemy and love thy neighbor.  Sniff deeply, and your own shit smells good.  No?  Try again, there you go.   Ahhhh!

Love thy Enemy is the great  commandment.  And the greatest of authors knew nothing of this molecule millennia ago. ->  A molecule that functions to glue group identity together.  It will make you love your in-group.  And it will make you hate your out-group.

Do you have any choice now that you know?  Enough to make you responsible for your actions, yes you do.

The Lucifer Effect.

Not long ago I watched a two hour talk by Philip Zimbardo recorded in the Bush Days.  Zimbardo did the famous Stanford Prison Experiment and he had the good fortune because of that to be on the Abu-Graib defense team and view ALL the evidence, and study the situation as he saw fit.

Were there bad apples or was there a bad barrel?

The barrel turned out to be very, very bad and the situation corrupted the average apple, making the situation rotten to the core.  Orders to humiliate prisoners came from Donald Rumsfeld.  If learning this makes you uncomfortable.  Don't worry.  Another molecule will make you forget.

90% of people are average apples and are putty in a manipulators hands.  10% can think for themselves.

Philip Zimbardo's talk was excellent.  I watched it from start to finish.  A delight to listen to.  Zimbardo did not talk about the molecule, he only talked about human behavior.  I added the molecule.  I learned about the molecule from Sopolski.



It is an old story.  Pointing out how it has been used in the past does not stop it from being used now.  The molecule makes sure of that.  People are eager slaves to the mind of one with higher rank.

Day two, Trump's Stormtroopers Disappear Hundreds.  The nation screams.

Crops wither in the fields, unpicked—because Trump's regime is vanishing people by the hundreds. Blood-curdling screams in the live feed is uncensored.  That's the sound of families torn apart, of communities hunted, of Trump's fascist deportation machine grinding human lives into dust.

Don't be fooled by their sickening propaganda. Trump's handlers now stage-manage a few deportation returns, a handful of carefully choreographed returns, just enough to pretend they're "complying with the courts" while they kidnap thousands in the dark. This is a calculated purge, a Christian fundy crusade masquerading as policy.

The fucking racist christian nationalists have brought on Armageddon. They planned for it. Their sick agenda demands it.  And now, with ICE raids and mass terror, they've unleashed it.

This isn't just cruelty.  This is ethnic cleansing by bureaucracy. State-sanctioned horror, carried out by a fascist regime that feasts on suffering while the oligarchs cheer.  Just like it was at the end of the first time the orange pig was president.

We see you, Trump. We hear the screams. And history will remember this as the moment America's mask finally slipped off revealing the fascist beast you and your 2025 handlers are.

RESIST. FIGHT BACK. STOP THE DEPORTATION MACHINE BEFORE IT CONSUMES US ALL.

Project 2025 forgot who picks the food.






More, currently the several hundred border patrol are holding a line.  These are Federal Agents, not local police.  Federal employees who DOGE did not fire.  Ones who passed the baby killer purity test.












Good I was not there.  I know I would have put myself in danger.

Around midnight on May 28, 2020, as protests in Minneapolis against police violence and racial discrimination spun out of control, U.S. President Donald Trump posted a pair of tweets on Twitter. The first insulted the city's mayor, Jacob Frey, as "very weak" and stated that Trump was considering sending the National Guard to the area. The second tweet labeled the protesters "thugs" and threatened that

Trump to deploy National Guard in response to Los Angeles immigration protests.

Trump is federalizing part of California's National Guard which would otherwise report to Gov. Gavin Newsom. Presidents have the authority to do so under limited circumstances.  Newsom slammed Trump's move, calling it "purposefully inflammatory" and said it "will only escalate tensions."

Ya think ?



On this planet most definitely, there is a 'Gulf of America'. 

They also pour gasoline on fires to put them out in this bizarro land.

Step 1 to Martial Law.

How long till the riots spread to a few more cities?

At least before Trumpolini the FSoA had window dressing of having a moral center.  Now the emperor has no clothes.

Day 3

National Guard and police now.  The orange pig will not rest without mayhem.  Too bad he was cheated so much in life.  Now we have to deal all with his anger.  Even 2900 miles from the East Coast, where the big orange airbag should have no bizness.

       Posted it live, and caught the battle of the 101 freeway.  The occupation, the confrontation, the evacuation, the arrests, the retaliation, and the police cruiser carbecue near the end.  All on this video.  History in the making.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.  It is the only way to reign in tyrants.

It is not strictly live, but the good stuff gets spiced in fast.

A nation wide General Strike would be a good idea about now.

Fuck You

QuotePower concedes nothing without a demand.  It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet while covering protests in Los Angeles on June 8, 2025.

The pig at the end of the line did it.  You can replay and see.  Very close range.  You can see him aiming while she is facing the camera.

It appears the chaos is accelerating quite rapidly now.  Truumpolini will undoubtedly double down on this by deploying NG troops to any of the locations with planned demonstrations that gather a couple of hundred people.  Newsome is suing the Feds and Trumpolini is threatening to have him arrested.  How will other Gubernators react to this?  Definitely sets up a battle of state vs fed gov.  Secession maybe?  Is this the beginning of the violent phase of revolution?
