Henri Vanhanen wrote that Helsingin Sanomat had received nearly 800,000 Finnish individuals' location data for free from international data brokers. According to him, the data could be used to identify soldiers, members of parliament, and critical infrastructure workers, as well as to uncover their homes and movement patterns. Vanhanen assessed that the availability of location data could pose a serious vulnerability to Finland's national security and also jeopardize the privacy of ordinary citizens. He wrote that a foreign state's intelligence service might not necessarily need to breach information systems if it could purchase the data. Vanhanen suggested that Finland should begin preparing a Data Shield legislative package concerning the security of location data. He proposed that the commercial resale of precise location histories be prohibited, that the location protection of those working in security-critical tasks be strengthened, and that the responsibilities of authorities be clarified. Furthermore, he argued that Finland should advocate for stricter EU restrictions on the commercial resale of location data of identifiable individuals. https://t.co/iheRSEpv9j #Tietosuoja #KansallinenTurvallisuus #Yksityisyys (translated)

Klaus pondered what kind of national state of emergency would have arisen 20 years earlier if a 22-year-old had stabbed a random 13-year-old child. According to him, the matter would have been discussed in A-studios, in the newspapers, and everywhere. He noted that times have changed. #kansallinenkeskustelu #ajatmuuttuu #yhteiskunta (translated)

Petteri Vaara criticized the government's decision to grant a 150 million euro tax support to Anglo American's subsidiary, Sakati, through Business Finland. According to him, the value of the metal deposits located in Viiankiaapa in Sodankylä, a Natura 2000 area, was tens of billions of euros: about 15 billion euros for copper and over ten billion euros for nickel, gold, and palladium. Vaara believed that the mining company would receive the extracted metals and the vast majority of the economic benefits, while the risks of the project would remain with nature and taxpayers. Vaara wrote that the state was preparing and partly funding mining projects but handed the responsibility for leading them to multinational companies. He also criticized the National Coalition Party member of parliament, Pia Kauma, who stated that protected nature calmed and comforted people, but metals were needed for batteries and electrical cables. Vaara mentioned that Sakati had met with several ministers, their assistants, and members of parliament and had used consultants from the law firm Borenius. Vaara claimed that 79 percent of Finns opposed mining in nature conservation areas. According to him, the government was pushing for the project to gain the status of an EU strategic raw materials initiative to expedite the permitting process. He also criticized Anglo American's plans to purchase old-growth forests in Inari and to restore drained wetlands to replace Viiankiaapa. Vaara referred to a statement from the Permit and Supervision Agency, which indicated that the actions proposed by the company were insufficient to mitigate the environmental harm of the project as required by the nature directive. https://t.co/spQ6nEoAhG #Suomi #Luonto #Kaivosteollisuus (translated)

Henri Vanhanen described the recent message from the Security Police as very serious. According to him, Russia had identified possible sabotage targets in Finland's defense industry, although there were no indications of an immediate strike. Vanhanen wrote that the threat situation could change quickly and that Russia aimed to disrupt European defense industry and weaken support for Ukraine. Vanhanen demanded a systematic review of security arrangements for defense sector companies. He highlighted the importance of guarding production facilities, personnel security, subcontractors, and information systems, as well as the timely sharing of threat information by authorities and joint training for potential strikes. He suggested that the government initiate a national security assessment in cooperation with security authorities and the defense industry. According to him, this would help identify critical vulnerabilities, agree on protective measures, and ensure their funding. Vanhanen argued that securing the operational capability of the defense industry should not be left solely to the responsibility of the companies. https://t.co/wPB5qovW5y #Puolustusteollisuus #KansallinenTurvallisuus #Venäjä (translated)

Saara Huhtasaari claimed that Yle had misled viewers and said that the media did not challenge the claims because it, according to her, belonged to the same pool and spread the same propaganda. She stated that Penttilä had said the day before on A-studio that the prices of gasoline and diesel were the highest they had ever been. Citing data from AAA and EIA, Huhtasaari wrote that gasoline now cost about $3.82 per gallon in Texas, while in California the price had risen to over $6.40 during Biden's term in 2022. She reported the U.S. average price for diesel now at about $6.27 per gallon, with a national peak in 2022 of $5.81; in California, the price had reportedly risen to around $6.92. According to Huhtasaari, the claim of record-high prices was therefore inaccurate, and she stated that the truth was a side issue for Yle. #agendamedia #yle #propaganda #politiikka (translated)

Henri Vanhanen recalled working in the parliament in February 2022 when Russia launched its full-scale attack on Ukraine. According to him, Finland had not yet sent defense aid to Ukraine at that time. Vanhanen stated that he had suggested to the National Coalition Party’s parliamentary group that the government should be required to provide military assistance. Vanhanen wrote that Finland was sending its 35th defense assistance package to Ukraine and had delivered defense materials worth approximately 3.6 billion euros to the country. He described the support as a long-term national commitment that had been continued across government terms and party lines. According to Vanhanen, supporting Ukraine's defense was also necessary for Finland's security. He assessed that the repelled Russian attacks in Ukraine would reduce Russia's ability to threaten other countries in Europe. Vanhanen wrote that Finland's support should continue for as long as it was needed. https://t.co/SGRsbSx53P #Ukraina #Suomi #Puolustusapu (translated)

Yesterday, on Thursday, the Speaker of Parliament Jussi Halla-aho and Vice Speaker Paula Risikko reported that they had heard last week from individual members of parliament suspicions that their apartments had been entered during their absence. #PetteriOrpo #kansallinenturvallisuus #tunnusmerkit (translated)

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. #Suomi #politiikka #energiapolitiikka (translated)

Suomen diplomatia on tehnyt täydellisen muodonmuutoksen kun perinteisestä sovittelevasta rauhantekijän roolista on siirrytty Stubbin myötä siihen, että Suomi kaataa bensaa liekkeihin ja pyrkii aktiivisesti eskaloimaan Ukrainan sotaa. Suomen kansallinen etu olisi puolueettomuus. https://t.co/uObc4qO4MX #Suomi #diplomatia #Ukraina

Sodan alkaessa olisi tuntunut utopistiselta, että Venäjän tappiot voisivat muodostua tällaisiksi. Puolitoista miljoonaa kuollutta tai haavoittunutta... 12 tuhatta tankkia... Lähes 450 lentokonetta.... 350 kopteria... 35 laivaa, 2 sukellusvenettä... Aivan uskomatonta. Kun nyt venäläisiä paljon tunnen, ja tiedän millainen kansallinen trauma Afganistan oli, tästä tulee jotain 100 kertaa pahempaa. #Ukraina #Venäjä #Sota

Adlercreutz kommentoi laskevia Pisa-tuloksia näin: "Asiaa kommentoi IS:n haastattelussa myös opetusministeri Anders Adlercreutz – Laskevien Pisa-tulosten syynä eivät ole maahanmuuttajaoppilaat, Adlercreutz kuitenkin painottaa" Totuus on kuitenkin täysin erilainen mitä opetusministeri Adlercreutz väittää sen olevan "Pisa-tutkimuksen kansallinen tutkimusjohtaja Arto Ahonen sanoo suoraan, mikä maahanmuuttaja­taustaisten rooli Suomen Pisa-katastrofissa on. Tilastot ovat karua luettavaa. Kolmella keskeisimmällä osa-alueella maahanmuuttaja­taustaisten nuorten oppimistulokset olivat kantaväestöä heikompia. Esimerkiksi lukutaitopisteissä ensimmäisen polven maahanmuuttaja­taustaisten ero kanta­väestöön oli peräti 113 pistettä. Toisenkin polven maahanmuuttaja­taustaisten ero on 66 pistettä kantaväestöön verrattuna" Miten opetusministeri voi olla näin pihalla todellisuudesta ja miksi tämä tyyppi toimii edelleen opetusministerinä? #Pisa #opetus #maahanmuutto

Suomessa on ollut ehkä tapana myydä omat edut oikeudesta käyttää hassua hattua, ts. se kun tsuhnat pääsee edes istumaan paremman väen pöytiin, on ollut kotimaiselle eliitille palkkio itsessään.
