This is no longer just a political blunder, but probably the most humiliating national failure in the history of Finland's industry. This analysis reveals black on white how totally and blindly the Finnish state leadership has sold the interests of its own citizens in front of the marketing department of Silicon Valley. Let's break down this "sleight of hand" into three devastating facts that make the government's actions completely inexcusable. First of all, despite all the prime minister-level hype, promises, and the liturgy of the green transition, the outcome is harsh. As a result of Google's massive investments, no new electricity production is being built in Finland—zero megawatts. The company's marketing department worded it so cleverly that the government, desperately thirsty for economic growth, swallowed the bait completely baffled. The leadership was smilingly taken in front of cameras as a guarantor for a project that will not bring a single new watt to the Finnish grid. The second issue is the hijacking of national base power. This is the real, chilling bomb of the news. Since no new electricity will come, where will these massive data centers draw their power? The answer: from our nuclear power. The analysis reveals that as much as 500 megawatts of Finland's nuclear power capacity is dedicated exclusively to Google until 2050. This nuclear power is not just any electricity. It is precisely that stable, weather-independent base power that is vital for Finland's price stability and security of supply. The government is thus surrendering half a gigawatt of infrastructure intended to safeguard Finnish citizens during cold days to a multinational monopoly for the next quarter century. Thirdly, the master has definitively become a servant. When 500 megawatts of stable nuclear power is tied to Google's inflexible use, and no new capacity is brought in, the mathematical equation is devastating for the Finnish consumer. When a calm cold spell strikes in January, our electricity grid will lack that 500-megawatt lifesaver. It is dedicated to AI computation, and the ordinary Finnish citizen will pay for it with horrendous spikes in market electricity prices and increased transmission fees from Fingrid. The Finnish government allowed a multinational company to blind itself with platitudes and let a foreign entity walk straight into the national switchboard. This is not an investment in Finland. This is a hostile resource grab, which the country's own leadership blessed with a smile, sacrificing the energy security and purchasing power of Finns at the altar of the company's marketing trick. In democracy, there is one simple and ruthless rule: if the highest leadership of the state cannot defend the interests of its own people, it must step aside. Looking at this chain of events and the facts revealed by Talouselämä, the demand for Prime Minister Orpo's resignation is no longer just political shouting. It is the only logical conclusion in a situation where the head of government has shown a total lack of judgment in securing national infrastructure and the economy. The prime minister's job is to be the master in his own country. His task is to sit at the negotiating table, look the world's richest companies in the eye, and say: "This is our grid, our nuclear power, and our nature. You will pay for the infrastructure, you will build the new electricity, and you will pay the royalties here. Otherwise, you can take your servers elsewhere." If the prime minister is not capable of this—if he is so desperate that he can be led by a marketing department's word games like a measuring cup—he does not have the backbone that leading Finland requires in this global squeeze. Then there is only one right action: hand the keys back to the people and resign. (translated)

Nicușor explains to us, with a serious face, that AUR is not allowed in government because it "affects our relationship with our partners." And we are not having early elections, because "the investors" do not want that. Interesting. I thought that the master of the country is the people, but it seems that it is a group of investors without a name, without a face, and without a vote. How convenient it is to have "investors" and "partners" in your pocket! When you want something, you say they want it. When you don't want something, you say they don’t want it. And you never have to account for it, because who is going to ask them? Let's simplify: in the next elections, let only these "investors" run. At least we won't waste time with ballots, with campaigns, and with millions of naive people who believe their vote matters. They decide anyway. Democracy, the version with a subscription to our partners. (translated)

📍Să îți dai jos propriul Guvern, la inițiativa și sub controlul altui stat sau a unor forțe externe, asta înseamnă pentru Simion să fii suveranist, patriot și independent. 📍Să urmărești să cumperi gaze extrem de scumpe pentru țara ta, intermediate de mulți șmecheri străini conectați la contractul inițial, în loc să le folosești pe cele disponibile în Marea Neagră (dar pe care nu poți încasa comisioane), asta înseamnă pentru Grindeanu socialism în beneficiul poporului. Ăștia doi au participat cu bună știință la dărâmarea țării, urmărind doar interese financiare și politice, în niciun caz bunăstarea poporului român pe umărul căruia plâng artistic din avioane private sau pe la TV-uri plătite. #suveranitate #patriotism #independență

Voiko viisikymppisenä muuttaa suuntansa täysin? 50 vuotta siinä meni, mutta nyt taitaa olla aika syödä vanhat sanat. Olen yrittäjäperheen vesa, mutta tähän asti perheen ainoa ”palkkatyöläinen”. Olen kantanut mukanani hyviä ideoita 20 vuotta, mutta pelko ja uskon puute ovat pitäneet minut mukavuusalueella. Lopulta tarvittiin mieheni luovuus ja innovatiivisuus, joka sai minutkin näkemään potentiaalin. Ehkä minä sittenkin osaan. Ehkä me pystymme tähän yhdessä. Työtilanne on mitä on, joten jos töitä ei ole tarjolla, tehdään niitä itse. Matka yrittäjäksi alkaa tässä piakkoin. Tarvittaessa opitaan kantapään kautta! Mua pelottaa kyllä ihan hirveästi. Mun pitäisi vain uskaltaa luottaa siihen, että mun mies on nero. 😉😂 #yrittäjyys #muutos #itseluottamus

Doamna ambasadoare MAGA de la Atena e acuzata ca a inspirat căderea guvernului de la București, vinovat ca nu vrea sa cumpere pepeni cu 100 de dolari kilul de la Dăbuleni-A-Lago. Bine, nu e ambasadoare. E sales agent. E purtător de cuvânt al lăcomiei familiei si prietenilor lui Trump. E general in retragere din Armata Minciunii Naționale numita Fox News. O inteleg. Ce nu inteleg e de ce românii trebuie sa se ploconeasca in fata vânzătorilor de iluzii nucleare si gaz la preț de specula. De ce? Ca ne apară America? Cum sa ne mai apere cel mai important aliat vestic al Rusiei? Cum sa ne mai apere o administratie pentru care totul e de vânzare? Pai daca iese mai bine cu noi predați in partea ailaltă, credeți ca putem face ceva? Daca Rusia da 10 miliarde si noi avem doar doua, cam cum credeți ca va decide The Swampshinghton? Putem să-l dam jos si pe Patriarh, ca ăștia tot ne vând! Asta e esenta MAGA: doar America contează (si nici ea toată, doar fanii lui Big Orange). Restul: be damned! Restul sunt aliați de unică folosință. Clienți de țepe stars and striped. Fraieri olimpici cu parul creț, fura idealul din coteț! Mizeria asta cere un raspuns. Astept idei de la voi, caci liderii noștri încă mai strâng bani de microscop, să-și vadă testiculele! #MAGA #politică #România

Purralla on selvästi mennyt kuppi nurin sen suhteen, että hänen mielestään euron bensaa ei missään koskaan luvattu ja mediaa myöten heitä nyt piinataan syyttä. Kuittailu bensasta liittyy ihan suoraan siihen, että perussuomalaiset poliitikot kävivät oppositiossa aivan ylikierroksilla aiheena bensan hinta. Hallitus sai kuulla tästä kunniansa kaikilla mahdollisilla tasoilla. Siitä pidettin palopuheita, kontenttia taottiin ihan kyllästymisiin asti. Bensaa eurolla ei kirjattu mihinkään vaalilupauksiin, mutta esim. Miko Bergbom kehoitti ihan suoraan äänestämään PS-puoluetta koska bensan voi riisua veroista euron hintaiseksi. “Jos me otetaan verot pois, polttoaine maksaa alle euron.” “Siit voi sit jokanen miettiä mitä puoluetta kannattaa äänestää!” #politiikka #bensa #vaalit

Russia’s influence operation arrives ahead of the US midterms With weeks remaining before America's November midterm elections, a familiar type of content has begun appearing online. Videos resembling reports from CNN, the BBC and The New York Times accuse candidates of corruption, antisemitism and misconduct. Hollywood actors appear to denounce Democrats. Other clips claim that warnings about Russian interference are themselves a Democratic disinformation campaign. The reports are fabricated. Graphika, which tracks online influence operations, says it has identified a coordinated campaign targeting candidates in competitive US Senate races. It assesses with high confidence that the material was produced by Operation Overload, also known as Matryoshka – a long-running Russia-aligned influence operation previously active against elections and political debates in Europe and the United States. The activity coincides with a broader warning from American intelligence officials. Classified assessments reported by The New York Times conclude that the Kremlin has authorised another digital influence campaign ahead of the 2026 midterms, aimed primarily at exploiting existing divisions and undermining confidence in American democracy. There is an important distinction. US officials have not reported evidence that Russia is attempting to manipulate voting machines or alter the counting of votes. The operation is about influencing the information environment surrounding the election. Fake scandals for competitive Senate races Graphika traced a concentrated wave of activity between 10 and 14 September. Likely inauthentic or repurposed accounts distributed videos accusing Democratic politicians of corruption, antisemitism and other misconduct. The targets included Senator Jon Ossoff in Georgia, Representative Chris Pappas in New Hampshire and Texas state representative James Talarico, as well as Senate candidates Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Roy Cooper in North Carolina, Mary Peltola in Alaska, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Joshua Turek in Iowa and Troy Jackson in Maine. The selection was not random. These were politicians involved in Senate contests where the result could matter to control of the chamber. The campaign did not rely on a single political narrative. Instead, it attached different accusations to different candidates – corruption, social issues, antisemitism or personal misconduct – while maintaining a consistent production and distribution model. That model is characteristic of Matryoshka: create apparently independent pieces of evidence, disguise them as journalism and distribute them through networks of disposable accounts. Hollywood celebrities who never said what the videos claimed One of the campaign's more distinctive techniques involved genuine footage of American actors. Videos featuring celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker and Julia Roberts were altered with captions and other material to suggest they were promoting the slogan #AllDemocratsAreCriminals. The technique continued in subsequent material. Fact-checkers identified fabricated New York Times-branded videos using footage of Alyssa Milano, Sean Astin, Rachael Harris, Leonardo DiCaprio, Eric Braeden, Annie Potts and Patrick Fabian. Some of the original footage came from Cameo, where actors record personalised video messages. Their authentic images were retained while fabricated audio, captions or surrounding material changed the meaning entirely. Lead Stories compared several of the clips with the originals and found that the supposed political statements did not appear in the genuine recordings. Eric Braeden's representative separately confirmed that the claim he had joined the anti-Democratic campaign was false. The advantage of the technique is straightforward. Generative AI does not need to create a convincing celebrity from nothing. The operator can begin with authentic footage of a recognisable person and manipulate only the elements necessary to manufacture a political statement. Stealing the authority of real newsrooms Celebrity impersonation was only one layer. The operation repeatedly borrowed the visual identity of established media organisations. Graphika identified material impersonating or falsely citing the BBC, CNN and Politico, alongside references to France's VIGINUM foreign-interference agency and journalist Brandy Zadrozny. Other material reproduced New York Times-style branding. Some fabricated reports made an unusual claim: that Democrats themselves were organising disinformation or “false-flag operations” and then blaming Russia. This creates a defensive layer around the influence operation. Instead of merely distributing false political allegations, the campaign also attempts to discredit future reporting about the manipulation itself. If successful, evidence exposing foreign interference can be reframed as part of the conspiracy. Graphika says it assesses with high confidence that Operation Overload produced these videos. The technique is well established. Earlier investigations by CheckFirst and Reset Tech documented hundreds of falsified pieces of content produced by Operation Overload, often impersonating journalists, institutions and major media brands. AI-generated or manipulated material has increasingly become part of that production system. What US intelligence says Russia is trying to achieve The broader strategic picture comes from American intelligence assessments reported on 18 September. According to US officials familiar with classified findings, the Kremlin has authorised a covert digital influence campaign aimed at Americans during the 2026 election season. Its apparent objective is to seed or amplify domestic divisions and weaken confidence in the political process. Some officials described the principal aim as creating disorder rather than helping a single political party. The publicly identified Matryoshka material examined so far, however, has targeted Democratic candidates. Those two findings should not be treated as contradictory. An operation can exploit partisan divisions while serving the broader objective of making the electoral system appear corrupt, chaotic or illegitimate. US officials also reportedly assess the current Russian campaign as less extensive or coordinated than some previous election operations. Moscow is considered less focused on congressional elections than presidential contests and remains heavily occupied by its war against Ukraine. Russia has denied previous US accusations of election interference. An operation with limited reach – so far There is another reason for caution: producing large quantities of disinformation is not the same as successfully influencing voters. Matryoshka has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to manufacture content at industrial speed, but much of its material receives little genuine engagement. Researchers monitoring the network have previously warned against confusing automated distribution and platform view counts with authentic audience penetration. There are exceptions. A fabricated New York Times-style video featuring Jamie Lee Curtis had accumulated nearly 200,000 views on X by the end of 17 September, according to reporting by The New York Times. Other pieces attracted considerably less attention. There is currently no public evidence demonstrating that the campaign has changed voting intentions or will affect election results. What the September activity demonstrates is something narrower but important: a Russia-aligned influence infrastructure previously used against European elections has now turned significant attention towards the American midterms. The basic method has changed little – impersonate trusted media, manufacture scandals and use networks of inauthentic accounts to distribute them. What has changed is the production technology. Authentic celebrity footage, synthetic voices, manipulated video and rapidly generated fake journalism allow the same operation to produce more tailored material for more candidates at lower cost. The objective does not require Americans to believe every fabrication. Creating uncertainty over which videos, news reports and public statements are authentic can itself degrade trust in the information environment surrounding an election.

Suomikin uskaltaa sanoa nyt johonkin EI. EU-politiikan linja on muuttunut perussuomalaisten myötä oleellisesti. Tähän asti ajateltiin, että jos Suomi vain on myöntyväinen kaikkeen ja kunnollinen mallioppilas, tämä tuo mainehyötyä, luottamuspääomaa ja olemme sitten yhtäkkiä "kokoamme suurempia." Tämä "mainehyöty" ei kuitenkaan ilmene mitenkään. Emme me saa EU-rahaa enempää kuin muutkaan tai emme ole kokoamme suurempia päätöksenteossa. #ps #perussuomalaiset #eu #perussuomalaiset #EU #politiikka

Ceea ce i se întâmplă lui Călin Gerogescu este o confirmare a faptului că, până la urmă, se va ajunge la suspendarea lui Nicușor Dan. Un candidat cu atâta popularitate precum Georgescu reprezintă un pericol pentru un sistem care, oricât de mult s-a scremut, n-a putut oferi un produs mai bun decât pe olimpicul Harpalete. Ca să faci un asemenea circ mediatic trebuie să ai un dosar beton. Mai ales că se lucrează de ani de zile la acest dosar. Și dacă ai deja toate dovezile, de ce trebuie să spargi ușa cu berbec și cu mascați ca să mai cauți niște dovezi? Ce au găsit în casa lui Georgescu? 5000 de euro și o legitimație cu Ordinul de Malta. Cel puțin atât ni s-a prezentat. Au mai găsit în autoturismul lui Gerorgescu un dispozitiv de bruiaj. Adică serviciile au voie să-ți asculte convorbirile și tu n-ai voie să le pui niște muzică să aibă ce asculta? Adică ei au anulat alegerile pentru că se gândeau că peste 2 ani vor găsi 5000 de euro în casa candidatului. Ne mirăm că n-au găsit și tiparniță de bani, cum au găsit minerii la ”Penețeu” Poate ni se va spune și de unde avea cetățeanul din Buzău 1.100.000 euro. Ia dat acești bani direct lui Georgescu? S-a întâmplat asta acum 5-6 ani și dovezile au fost ținute la sertar până acum? Banii ăștia au vreo legătură cu rușii? Și dacă nu au, cum faci acest circ pentru ceva ce, în cel mai rău caz este doar o infracțiune de drept comun? Să nu uităm schema cu Horațiu Potra, omul sistemului plantat în anturajul lui Georgescu pentru a-l putea lega pe cel din urmă. Despre finanțarea lui Nicușor în campanie cu niște sume fixe (pe niveluri) de la zeci și sute de sponsori, nu ne spuneți nimic? De ce este tratat Gerorgescu ca un infractor extrem de periculos? De ce e nevoie de tot circul acesta mediatic? Cu ce e mai periculos Georgescu decât cei care au deturnat miliarde de Euro pentru a salva niște fabrici de ”jucării” din Germania? Cu ce e mai periculos decât unul ca Vlad Voiculescu, care a țepuit țara cu peste 1 miliard de euro în încercarea de a ne ”salva” pe toți de boala lui Calache, de câteva ori. Cu ce e mai periculos Gerogescu față de toți primarii șpăgari și față de toți baronii locali de la PNL, USR, PSD... Ia să facă cineva o plângere împotriva unui primar care l-a înșelat, să vedeți dacă se duc mascații peste vila sau vilele primarului. România are o datorie publică imensă. Plătim dobânzi de 5,2% pe an. La care se adaugă dobânzile la noile împrumuturi care sunt de 7,33%. Grecia, care are cea mai mare datorie externă, cu 143% din PIB, au dobânzi cu puțin peste 4% pe an. Avem cea mai mare rată a inflației din UE și suntem în blocaj politic. Pentru toate acestea există un singur vinovat: Călin Gerogescu. Tot Georgescu este de vină și pentru secetă și pentru Euro de 5,26 lei și pentru prețul motorinei de aproape 11 lei/litru și pentru faptul că lui Nicușor nu-i stau ciorapii pe picior.
