Vaikka Migrant Tales ei vaivaudu kiinnittämään huomiota pikkurasisisteihin, Suomi olisi hieno maa ilman heitä.
Perussuomalaiset-nuorten mainokset ovat häpeällisiä. He uskovat, että heidän muukalaisvihansa on nykyään ”siistiä”, mutta katsotaanpa heidän lausuntojaan tulevaisuudessa, kun heidän sanoja a aatuksia on aikaa mädäntyä.
Jos Suomen tulevaisuus on heidän käsissään, olemme pulassa. Uskon kuitenkin, että on tarpeeksi järkeviä suomalaisia, jotka osaavat erottaa halvat rasistiset iskulauseet ja totuuden.
He tarkoittavat todellisuudessa, että kaikki työttömät ulkomaalaiset tulisi lähettää keskitysleireille tavaravaunuissa.
Ei koskaan ota vastuuta. Syytetään muita!
Jos noudatamme koskaan politiikkaanne, Suomi kuolee, koska sen väestö ikääntyy. Sillä välin imetään maahanmuuttajilta kaikki veri.
The recent warnings by US President Donald Trump of taking over Greenland “whether they like it or not” raises and exposes a lot of questions about Denmark. For one, Denmark, considered one of the most Islamophobic countries in the EU, got it all wrong. Not Muslims but white supremacists from the United States are the greatest threat.
What we are seeing is the implementation of the US’ National Security Strategy and its support of a new world order government by far-right parties in Europe.
The whole debacle over Greenland exposes as well the hypocrisy and racism of Denmark, which is not a country guided by Nordic values of mutual respect but by racism and discrimination. The image of Denmark as a progressive country has been false for over forty years.
Denmark’s openly racist policies toward Muslims and other non-Europeans have come home to roost by targetting the wrong “enemy.” Starting wth Social Democrat Prime Minister Mette Fredrikson, who has propagated exclusive anti-Muslim policies, all political parties in the country are complicit for their shortsightedness and racism.”
Taking into account the openly exclusive policies of Denmark against minorities, it is doubtful the country will be able to correct its ways because all of the political parties have contributed to the situation.
Liz Fekete wrote in “Europe’s Fault Line,” a few years ago that there has been a massive shift to the right with racism of all parties complicit with this becoming widespread.
Watching how European leaders are holding back as US President Donald Trump sheds to pieces the Atlantic Charter of 1941, a landmark declaration between Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill that outlines matters such as self-determination of nations, free trade and security. The latter form the basis for the UN Charter.
Remembering how eagerly almost all MPs supported the idea of Finland joining Nato, there was little to no debate about the negative side of Nato membership, as we are seeing now with Trump threatening to takeover Grenland and gutting the alliance.
Even if Nato membership allowed Finland to raise and expose its long-term hatred and mistrust of Russia, it never took into account that we have to end up eating our words. Certainly there are many reasons for mistrust, like the war in Ukraine, but chest beating does not help matters.
One veteran politician told me that we should not forget geography in our foreign policy.
“President Alexander Stubb’s foreign policy has been dubbed as “hawkish” against Russia. It is understandable considering Finland’s history with its giant neighbor. However, why doesn’t President Stubb criticize Trump instead of playing golf with him? His National Security Strategy (NSS) recently warned Europe of “white civilization erasure” and threw his support to far-right parties in the region.”r right parties in the region.
Will our bravado and chest pounding force us to eat our words?
And Greenland?
I wouldn’t be surpsised if the the US and Denmark arrive at a deal and that the colony becomes a part of the US.
Katie Miller is the wife of Stephen Miller, a radical Trump advisor who believes that the only explanation for taking over Greenland is might versus right.
Pidän Yhdysvaltoja ylivoimaisesti maailman laittomimpana maana. — Jeffrey Sachs
Kirjoitin viime kesänä Verdeen mielipidekirjoituksen Suomen hallituksen ja Euroopan unionin välinpitämättömyydestä Gazassa palestiinalaisia vastaan tehtyihin sotarikoksiin. Kuvasin tätä asennetta kuin vesi hanhen selästä – kaikki valuu pois jättämättä jälkeä. Tämä välinpitämättömyys ei kuitenkaan ole neutraalia. Sillä on seurauksensa.
Välinpitämättömyydellä toisten kärsimystä kohtaan on seurauksensa. Sen lisäksi, että se on pelkurimaista, siihen syyllistyvät uskovat opportunistisesti, etteivät he itse koskaan joudu samaan asemaan kuin ne, joita nyt sorretaan.
Tuorein esimerkki tästä on Venezuelan presidentti Nicolás Maduron ja hänen vaimonsa Cilia Floresin laiton kaappaus ja sieppaus.
Vaikka Yhdysvaltain presidentti Donald Trump on uhka kansainväliselle järjestykselle, minua huolestuttaa vielä enemmän eurooppalaisten johtajien – kuten Suomen presidentin Alexander Stubbin – lähes täydellinen hiljaisuus ja päättäväisyyden puute.
Kysyin eräässä viimeaikaisessa julkaisussa, milloin Stubb aikoo mennä pelaamaan golfia Trumpin ja tämän cheerleaderin, Etelä-Carolinan senaattori Lindsey Grahamin, kanssa.
Vaikka Stubb ja hänen kaltaisensa poliitikot saattavat tasapainoilla Suomen etujen ja rikolliseksi tuomitun henkilön kanssa toimimisen välillä, meidän kaikkien tulisi lukea yhdysvaltalaisten poliittisten kirjoittajien Oliveer Krnetzcken kuvauksia Trumpista.
“Katsokaa. Amerikan mädäntynyt ruumis, joka on tungettu huonosti istuvaan pukuun: huijarin siveettömyys, asevelvollisuuden kiertäjän pelkuruus, loisen ahneus, KKK-jäsenen rasismi, takakujan hyypiön seksismi, baarijakkaran juopon tietämättömyys ja hedge-rahaston haaskalinnun ahneus – kaikki spraymaalattu oranssiksi ja esitelty kuin palkittu sika maakuntamessuilla. Ei presidentti. Ei edes mies. Vain sairas tiivistymä kaikesta siitä, mitä tämä maa vannoo olevansa, mutta on aina ollut – ylimielisyys, joka on puettu poikkeuksellisuudeksi, tyhmyys, joka on naamioitu terveeksi järjeksi, julmuus, jota myydään kovuudeksi, ahneus, jota ylistetään kunnianhimoksi, ja korruptio, jota palvotaan kuin evankeliumia. Se on Amerikan varjo lihaksi muuttuneena, mätänevä kurpitsa-idoli, joka todistaa, että kun kansakunta polvistuu rahan, vallan ja katkeruuden edessä, se ei vain menetä sieluaan – se paskoo ulos tämän paisuneen säädyttömyyden ja kutsuu sitä johtajaksi.“

Trumpia on kuvattu ”Amerikan mädäntynyt ruumis”, mutta vielä huolestuttavampaa on hiljaisuus sortoon ja epäoikeudenmukaisuuksiin, jotka ympäröivät meitä kaikkialla.
Petteri Orpon hallituksen tekopyhyyden ja sen hampaanlomaisen suhtautumisen perussuomalaisten rasismiin lisäksi yksi eduskunnan häpeällisimmistä päätöksistä oli niin sanotun rajalain hyväksyminen ja jatkaminen. Laki sivuuttaa turvapaikanhakijoiden ihmisoikeudet ja murentaa oikeusvaltion perusperiaatteita.
Suomi – kuten monet sen poliitikot – näyttää uskovan, että se voi sortaa ja leimata siirtolaisia etäältä ja turvasta käsin ymmärtämättä, että jonain päivänä he itse saattavat olla samassa asemassa: hakemassa turvapaikkaa ja kohtaamassa kielteisiä päätöksiä.
Perussuomalaiset, kuten jotkut muutkin poliitikot, ovat rasisteja. Heidän ainoa keinonsa on leimata maahanmuuttajia ja vähemmistöjä. Tämä muistuttaa aikaa, jolloin naiset taistelivat kansalaisoikeuksiensa puolesta ja yksi vastaväitteistä oli, etteivät he olleet ”valmiita” kantamaan niitä.
Täysin järjetöntä! Yhtä järjetöntä on johtajiemme hiljaisuus ja varovainen hiippailu Trumpin ympärillä samalla kun hän repii rikki oikeusvaltiota ja kansainvälistä järjestystä.
I consider the US the most lawlwss country in the world by far.

In the summer I wrote an opinion piece for Verde about how the Finnish government’s and the European Union’s apathy towards the war crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza. I described the indifference as water off a duck’s back.
The inaction to the suffering of others has its consequences. Apart from being a cowardly act, those who collude in such silence opportunistically believe that they will not suffer the same fate as those who are oppressed.
The latest example was the illegal invasion and kidnapping of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores.
While US President Donald Trump is a threat to the international order, what worries me most is the near-silence and lack of resolve of European leaders like Finland’s President Alexander Stubb.
In a recent posting, I asked when Stubb was going to play golf with Trump and his cheerleader South Carolina Senator Graham Lindsey.
While politicians like Stubb may be towing a sensitive line between Finland’s interests and dealing with a felon and convict, we should all read US political writer Oliver Kornetzke’s descriptions of Trump.

Apart from Trump being “the festering carcass of American rot,” I am concerned about the silence and complacency to the oppression and injustices that overwhelm us.
Apart from the hypocrisy of Petteri Orpo’s government and its toothless challenge of the racism of the PS, one of the most shameful decisions by parliament was the passage and extension of the so-called Border Act, which disregards the human rights of asylum seekers and weakens the principles of the rule of law.
Finland, like many of its politicians, believe that they can oppress and denignate migrants from their high and dry places without understanding that they may one day be in the situation, asking for asylum and getting hostile rejections.
The PS, like some other politicians, are racists. All they know to do is label and victimize migrants and minorities. It is like when women were fighting for their civil rights and one of the arguments against them was they “they weren’t ready” to handle their civil rights.
Preposterous! Also is our leaders’ silence and tiptoeing around Trump as he shreds the rule of law and international order.
One of the big questions about the US invasion of Venezuela is what is the next step. Does th Trump régime have a plan? Or is it the first step in the Western Hemisphere to control Greenland, Mexico, and Cuba? Is it a message to China to takeover Taiwan an Russia to overtake Ukraine and parts of Europe, like the Baltic States?
Facebook
There’s not much that could be done in the US since Trump’s Republicans control Congress and the Senate. Mid-term elections are in November.
Apart from the wreckless foreign policy, and to add insult to injury, Trump is wishing for some Noble Peace Prize for his reckless policies that will lead to no good.

If anything, Trump’s about-turn in domestic and foreign policy reveals that his administration, led by the likes of Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio and other far-right politicians, shows how low we have fallen by giving big business, and wealth power. These will eventually receive their comeuppance in the end, if we don’t destroy before ourselves through catastrophes like war and disregard for the environment.
Apart from scaring the wits out of the US’ allies, it is clear that if the goal is money and wealth, nothing lasting can come out of it. The tiptoeing around Trump of the EU and Finland’s President Alexander Stubb is nothing short of disgraceful.
Stubb, like the European Commission, has given his blessing to the inhumane treatment of asylum seekers at our borders. He has blessed the pushback law, which give the Finnish border guards the right to turn back without due process any asylum seeker.
I wonder when Stubb will play golf with Trump again?
What the Trump administration is doing is awakening the fighting spirits of Malcolm X, Eldridge Cleaver, Angela Davis, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Tamara “Tania” Bunke, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Luxemburg, Eva Perón, Mahatma Gandhi, Frederick Duglass, Martin Luther King Jr., Toussaint L’Ouverture, Karl Marx, Emiliano Zapata, Frantz Fanon and many, many others.
We have wonderful examples of the wisdom and learnings on how such people pushbed back oppression and injustice.
The latter list of social fighters gives me hope in 2026.
Hävetkää, MTV! Miksi? Koska taas kerran te innokkaasti hyväksikäytätte nuorten tekemää rikollisuutta, erityisesti niin sanottujen ”maahanmuuttajataustaisten nuorten” tekemiä rikoksia. Raporttisi osoittaa, että olet enemmän kiinnostunut nuorten syyllistämisestä ja leimaamisesta kuin ratkaisujen löytämisestä.
MTV leimaa näitä nuoria yhdessä vanha tuttu Markku Heinikarin kanssa, joka on poliisin rikosyksikön johtaja. Rasistista narratiivia pönkittävät MTV:n tähdet ovat jälleen kaikki paikalla: Ivan Puopolo ja Tiia Palmén, joka ei koskaan vastannut sähköposteihini koskien MTV:n puolueellista uutisointia.
On surullista, jopa vastuutonta, että poliisi ja media leimaavat kaikki nuoret ottamatta huomioon, kuinka raskas tuo leima on näille nuorille. Heinikari kuten myös MTV sivuuttavat Suomen maahanmuuton historian: muistavatko he, kun suomalaisia epäiltiin Ruotsissa lähes kaikista rikoksista 1960- ja 1970-luvulla?
Viimeisimmässä jutussa nuorisorikollisuudesta, jonka väitetään olevan ”enemmistöltään maahanmuuttajataustaisten nuorten” tekemää, MTV kaataa jälleen lisää bensaa liekkeihin rasismillaan. Poliisit kuten Heinikari eivät tee muuta kuin vahvistavat rasistista leimaamista. Kuvitelkaa: KAIKKI ”maahanmuuttajataustaiset” nuoret nähdään rikollisina tai potentiaalisina rikollisina.
Heinikari on ollut pitkään MTV:n vakiovieras nuorisorikollisuutta koskevassa uutisoinnissa. Hän leimasi jälleen häpeilemättömästi, kuten aiemminkin, kaikki ruskeat ja mustat nuoret rikollisiksi. Poliisi toteaa yllä olevassa kuvassa: ”Maahanmuuttajatausta on selkeä yhteys nuorten ryöstöihin, maahanmuuttajatausta ja Ruotsista johdettu rikollisuus.” Hän ei kuitenkaan esitä mitään todisteita mielipiteensä tueksi, jota jotkut pitäisivät rasistisena.
Migrant Tales oli osa työryhmää, joka paljasti raportissaan, kuinka äärioikeistolaiset puolueet kuten Perussuomalaiset (PS) käyttivät nuorisojengi-”ongelmaa” äänestäjien houkuttelemiseen.
Shame on MTV, the privately owned TV station! Why? They are at it again with gusto exploiting crime by youths especially perportrated by so-called “youths of migrant backgrounds.” In one stroke of a paint brush, MTV with the help of Markku Heinikari, head of the police criminal unit. The MTV stars propping up the racist narrative are all there again: Ivan Puopolo and Tiia Palmén, who never answered my emails to her concerning MTV‘s biased reporting.
It is sad, even irresponsible, for the police and the media to label all youths taking into account how heavy the label weighs on these adolescents. Heinikar as well as MTV are ignorant of Finnish immigration history, when Finns were suspected for every crime in Sweden?
With the latest story about youth crime committed by “a majority of adolescents with migrant backgrounds,” MTV pours on again its racism. Policemen like Heinikari do nothing more than reinforce the racist labelling. Imagine, ALL youths “with migrant backgrounds” are guilty of being criminals or potential criminals.
Heinäkari is an old guest of MTV’s reporting on youth crime. He labelled shamelessly again ike in the past all brown and black youths as criminals. The police states in the picture above: “Migrant background is a clear link in youth robberies, migrant background and in led crime from Sweden.” He does not, however, offer no proof except his opinion, which some would state are racist.
Migrant Tales formed part of a team that exposed in a report how far-right parties like the Perussuomalaiset (PS)* used the youth gang “problem” to help them lure voters.
Former Helsinki Police Chief Commissioner Jari Taponen admitted in the report, “The saddest thing about the youth gang debate is that it labels all minority youths (as potential criminals).”
The fact that media like MTV would care less about their reporting is nothing new taking into account how it has framed the topic.
A story titled “The Government Plans to Tighten Integration Rules” was published by MTV, a private television company, but was taken down almost immediately. The reporter who interviewed Interior Minister Mari Rantanen was Ivan Puopolo, well-known for his anti-immigration views. European Islamophobia Report 2023
Other media like Helsingin Sanomat also reported on this phenomena. However, none like MTV, have done so with so much enthusiasm.

Even if the government of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo claims no racism or exclusion of migrants in Finland, the opposite is true. Finland has become an unfriendly , even hostile, country for migrants.
If there is one law that shows such disdain it is the new citizenship test that will come into force in the beginning of 2027.
In a council of state statement, anti-immigration Perussuomaliset (PS)* Interior Minister Mari Rantanen argues in favor of tightening migration laws and the citizenship test.
The government of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo turns a blind eye towards the racist policies and politics of the PS. Exaggerating youth crime, media like MTV see the tightening of integrtion laws in a violent light. Migrant Tales.
“We have already tightened the conditions for Finnish citizenship, including the required length of residence, income and integrity,” she said. “By introducing a citizenship test, we will further strengthen the principle that acquiring citizenship calls for successful integration into Finnish society and an understanding of its values.”
While it is important that new citizens understand their rights and how society’s institutions work, Rantanen’s citizenship shows suspicion, whitewashing and hypocrisy. Even if it points out that it is important to know gender and non-discrimination facts, it does nothing to expose the lies of the government on this front.
One clear case exposing hypocrisy is for the candidate to be knowledgeable of basic civil rights and human rights, which Rantanen and the government have watered down. Even if exam tests the candidates knowledge of gender and sexual minority rights, among others, it does not confront the racism in Finnish society towards minorities like Muslims spread by Rantanen’s party.
One of the most eceptionalist parts of the proposed test, in my opinion, is on custom and values.
Even if the candidate must know what are white Finnish customs and values are, there is nothing about how Finland is becoming ever-diverse. Does Rantanen falsely believe that people will eventually throw away their cultural habits and become white?
Does the test say anything about the government defending minority rights like Ramadan?
The new citizenship test and the tightening of citizenship law will further erode Finland’s and the present Finnish government’s credibility.
How can we believe in a government that is discriminating and oppressing minority rights now with citizenship tests that are a reflection of its racism and prejudice?
