Klaus criticized Mäkelä for allegedly preventing the person expressing criticism. Klaus wrote that Mäkelä's public image was based on considering others too sensitive and reminded that he was a member of the Finns Party and the chairman of its parliamentary group, whose statements also represented the party. According to Klaus, the weakening support for the National Coalition Party caused some of the party's regular voters to seek a new political home, and many of them looked towards the Finns Party. He assessed that the childish and clumsy behavior of the party's representatives would drive away voters and believed that the party should acknowledge its previous foolish statements and communicate that it was not proud of them. Klaus stated that Mäkelä's response to the criticism was to dismiss and label the critic, which would not reduce the party's repulsiveness. He questioned why the Finns Party did not take advantage of a situation where many voters were without a party home and assessed that silence would be a better option than an offensive response. #politiikka #Suomi #kansanedustaja (translated)

Pekka wrote that comments from Broadcom's CEO Hock Tan were said to have pressured AI sector stocks and weakened, among others, CoreWeave's bond markets. According to him, funding would be sufficient for data center projects if demand for AI or its growth rate remained high and investments were deemed profitable. Pekka estimated that large technology companies would continue to expand data centers rapidly in the coming days in their earnings, outlooks, and investment reports. He mentioned a rumor circulating among investors that Meta, which will publish its earnings tomorrow, might seek funding for data centers by diluting its shares, as Google had done. Pekka pondered whether Meta's shareholders would respond positively to this but believed the rumor supported the view of an increased need for data centers. He stated that companies were broadly considering how to utilize AI to enhance their business operations. He assessed that this would increase AI investments, particularly in purchasing tokens from leading Western AI companies, and believed that supply would lag behind demand for years to come. Pekka described the investor sentiment towards data center companies as weak and said they already appeared attractive to him, despite the increased risks. He cited CoreWeave as an example, whose market value, according to him, was below the revenue forecast based on analyst consensus for 2029. Pekka wrote that Nvidia owned 10 percent of CoreWeave and had promised to purchase the company's unsold GPU capacity until 2032 for up to $6.3 billion. He mentioned that he did not own shares in CoreWeave but was considering investing in it. He also justified the bears' question about why Nvidia needed to make such an agreement, speculating that the company would sell fewer chips without it. Pekka noted that AI stocks had risen strongly on average this year and did not believe that easy money was still available for investors. He considered indexes a good alternative for those who did not want to leverage their market view and said he was writing about his views to promote quality investment discussions and better decision-making. He added that this was not an investment recommendation. #pekka #tekoäly #datakeskukset #sijoittaminen (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the Greens had tried to influence city councils around Finland regarding what and how councilors could speak. She criticized the anti-racism and equality training organized for all councilors and estimated it would cost taxpayers 19,490 euros just in meeting fees. According to her, this amount did not include catering or the trainers' fees. According to Aidanjuuri, the training had originally been described as voluntary, but later it had become paid. She indicated that it had been difficult to get an answer to the question regarding the fee for the training. She also raised the issue of Vantaa's layoffs and the loss of employees' jobs, considering the training expensive and unnecessary. Aidanjuuri felt that the parties proposing the training did not create a taxpayer-friendly image and said that the discussion in Vantaa would stall when questions went unanswered. #Vantaa #poliikka #koulutus (translated)

I asked why we did not receive answers, and we were asked to submit certain questions in writing. I believe he must respond to them. If he does not respond, he is not suitable to be the president of FIFA. This was the viewpoint that was also expressed to him in the meeting. According to FIFA vice president Debbie Hewitt, several issues still remained unanswered, even though the meeting was the "strongest, most open and honest" she has experienced in FIFA. #Fifa #GianniInfantino #jalkapallo (translated)

Tuomo Saarni wrote that both Jocka and Tere Sammallahti had said that Jouni Tuovinen's article on the YEL law proposal was incorrect. Saarni said that he had not seen any specific reasons for where the errors were and asked if anyone had found them in the text. He pointed out that the suggestion to read 120 pages of legal text, in his opinion, did not answer the question, but rather indicated that the respondent could not name a single error. #YEL #lakiehdotus #kommentti (translated)

Hannele Al-Hamzawi wrote that imams and other Muslims were asked for a direct stance on supporting sharia law, as in her opinion, merely stating that Finnish law applies to Muslims was not a sufficient answer. She justified this by saying that according to sharia law, laws made by people cannot be above Allah's law. https://t.co/xFZ7q2Yt5M #Sharialaki #Islam #Suomi (translated)

Tuulia Alanko wrote that the imam's statement about Finnish law applying to Muslims did not, in her opinion, answer the question of the status of sharia law nor did it exclude the possibility of considering it important. She described the response as misleading. Alanko claimed that Aw-Musse had not distanced himself from sharia law or the idea of separate sharia courts in Finland. She suggested that this was related to both the imam's role and the fact that messages pleasing to Finns might be beneficial in the long term. According to Alanko, Aw-Musse could have directly stated that he did not want to replace Finnish laws with an Islamic legal system. Alanko finally referred to Jari Sarasvuo's statement that sharia or a parallel culture was not needed in Finland. #Suomi #Islam #Šaria (translated)

Lucia-pulla stated that she had posed several questions to Said Awmuss, to which she had not received answers. She had asked, among other things, what kinds of hobbies Muslim girls could engage in and whether twerking, hip-hop, and ballet were acceptable. Additionally, she inquired about the attitude towards dating a Finnish Christian, marrying a Jew or a Hindu, and the Muslim Brotherhood. On the day of Aleksis Kivi and Finnish literature, Lucia-pulla asked what the Finnish language, literature, and culture meant to Said Awmuss, and urged him to discuss it with her. She also wrote that Islam was not a race or ethnicity but a religion or ideology, and considered discussing racism in this context misleading. According to her, no one is born a Muslim. #uskonto #kulttuuri #kysymykset (translated)

Tuulia Alanko wrote that many others besides traditional supporters of the Finns Party had also expressed similar views, in her opinion. She praised Riikka and the Finns Party ministers for their responsibility and ability to implement. Alanko stated that the Finns Party, according to her, did not want to serve the elite or accept unrestricted use of taxpayers' money. She criticized the Social Democrats for their talk about civil society and believed that climate actions alone did not address the challenges related to immigration or hybrid operations. Alanko described the Minister of the Interior as having acted to reform immigration policy and demanded changes to open invitations for immigration and the granting of citizenship. She also praised the Finns Party Minister of Justice for changing the line on criminal law and tightening penalties, even though, according to her, he had been criticized for populism. Alanko wrote that neither Riikka nor other members of the Finns Party should change their positions to please everyone. She believed the party would maintain its stance despite red-green criticism and pressure, describing the Finns Party as a caretaker party. #persut #poliitika #Suomi (translated)

The author recounted asking Arto Luukkanen what the Russian military intelligence could do at its worst in Finland and what he would say to those who think he is trying to scare people.

Elina Hiltunen stated that she would have understood the decision if it had been communicated to her. After learning about her name being removed from the list, she immediately contacted the representative of the National Coalition Party, but did not receive a response. Hiltunen described the actions as unprofessional and said that the party could have prevented the situation by properly informing her about the matter. #kokoomus #viestintä #epäasiallinen (translated)

The author viewed that the rushes towards the border should be prevented and described immigration as a geopolitical weapon. In response, he supported pushbacks and stated that the situation was becoming intolerable, especially at the borders with Belarus, intentionally. #maahanmuutto #geopolitiikka #rauhanturvaus #BY (translated)

The author wrote that the situation, which had been ongoing from week to week, had begun to include the sinking of trade vessels from NATO countries, and asked how this should be responded to. According to him, the situation was being accepted as the new normal and continued as if nothing had happened. He stated that he did not support military power but considered that nothing followed from the decisions of politicians. #Nato #politiikka #rauha #FI #NATO (translated)

Mats Uotila asked whether the SDP is avoiding difficult questions until they are forgotten. He wrote that neither the party nor Lindtman had yet provided an answer to whether the SDP was committed to cooperation in critical defense materials for Finland's security, and demanded a response. #SDP #puolustus #kysymykset (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)

Aw-Musse is a 33-year-old native Finnish citizen and a man. Has Aw-Musse completed military service or civilian service? Islam does not actually prohibit either. Or has he been exempted from both? I couldn't find the answer even with the help of AI, so maybe @SaidAwmusse can tell himself how it is. #Suomi #varusmiespalvelus #siviilipalvelus (translated)
