FINNISH FOREIGN MINISTY REJECTS ARMING SHIPPING CREWS AGAINST PIRACY

Posted on by

A misnomer if there ever was one:

“The countries of European flag-carriers reject arrangements of this sort. The thinking is that the threat of violence to crews would increase if violence is met with violence.”

So what the Finnish Foreign Ministry’s Unit of EU and Treaty Law, Ms. Kaija Suvanto, is trying to say is, Finnish sailors who come into contact with Somali pirates, should prepare themselves to be held captive by these thugs.

The only logical thing to happen from such an obvious failure of a decision, is for the ship owners to reflag themselves with a country that allow s common sense rules of engagement, people need to defend themselves from being held captive by jihadi pirates. KGS

Officials Reject Call for Armed Guards on Finnish Vessels

Finnish officials have rejected calls to place armed guards aboard Finnish cargo ships. Both the Foreign Ministry and police officials have turned down a proposal by the Finnish Shipowners’ Association to use soldiers or armed guards to protect ships in waters off the coast of Somalia. The International Maritime Organisation, the IMO, has urged owners to upgrade security in the face of the growing problem of piracy.

The IMO recently sent a letter to member states and other partners demanding improvements in security arrangements aboard ships at sea. According to the organization, the situation has significantly worsened this year and the warships sent by various countries to patrol the area have not had the impact on piracy that was hoped.

Insurers and private security firms have undertaken to solve the problem themselves. Currently in Britain, steps are underway to establish a private marine corps with its own warship and a force of 150 men. The international security giant G4S is offering owners the services of a special force of British ex-soldiers. According to the company, this special unit has had an average of 40 assignments a month over the past few years.

Finnish security companies are interested in similar operations, at least in theory, even though so far there have not been requests, according to Petri Miettinen of the security services provider Turvatiimi.

“So far none has been received, but when the first request comes in, it will be analysed and an opinion will be sought from the authorities. After that, thought will be given to how it could be carried out in practice,” explains Miettinen.

UPDATE:  A Tundra Tabloids’ source tells the TT that the Finnish “security service” mentioned in the report, Turvatiimi, is actually a night club security organization. Bwhahahahahahahahahaha!

What do they know about ship security, all they do is to sit and guard the front doors of night clubs and government buildings. We are so screwed. They should be asking firms like Haganah Security what their opinions should be. Unbelievable.

FINNISH HUMAN RIGHTS LEAGUE WARNS OF INCREASE OF CHILDREN SENT ABROAD INTO FORCED MARRIAGES

The Tundra Tabloids has a feeling that this is just a tip of the iceberg. The end of the world is nigh. Human rights group actually concerned with a basic human right. KGS

“Girls missing from Finland forced into marriages’

UusiSuomi: The sending abroad of migrant children and young people for forced marriages, may become more frequent in the future, says the Human Rights League Secretary, Kristiina Kouros, of the EDILEX news service.

In the spring of 2010, the League of Human Rights ascertained data in interviews with 60 people, of immigrant children and young people being sent abroad. The study succeeded in identifying some forty children and young people who were, during the 2000’s, were sent abroad.

Interviews indicated that the girls’ marriage arrangements were the most common reason for sending them out of Finland.

Forced marriages can be for parents extreme measures for youths testing their boundaries. Human Rights Association report indicates, for example, a girl from a Central Asian background who had spent almost her whole life in Finland and attended school up until university matriculations. Although the girl had spent a very regimented life, expressing her own will led to her being sent out of the country just prior to the matriculations. Waiting at the destination, apparently, was a marriage by conniving relatives.

Forced marriages may be in a parents’ and child’s relationship, a barter, in which the surrender of the child receives the blessing from their parents for even promises of studying in school. At worst, it’s still a one-sided dictate, which may be masked as a trip abroad.

– In an extreme case, the girl has been sent abroad, where she has her passport taken and a marriage ceremony has been organized by the family, Kouros says.

The border between arranged and forced marriages can be unclear. If the arranging of the groom does not involve an element of coercion, the case  may be legally and socially unproblematic. Kouros points out that a forced marriage is always wrong, even though the list of  possible grooms are queued up.

Technically, a forced marriage is not expressly prohibited by Finnish law, although the law assumes that actions taken against the will of a person are prohibited. The chain may work in an other direction: Coming to Finland to enter into a marriage in order to obtain a residence permit.

SIGNS WARNING OF MOSQUE CONSTRUCTION APPEARING ALL OVER HELSINKI

This sign is surely bound to raise a lot of debate about mass immigration, exactly what it was designed to do. KGS

Campaign Posters For True Finns Candidate Falsely warn of Mosque Construction

HS: Helsinki, passers-by have been drawn attention to construction site signs, who claim that the building site is for a mosque. In reality, it is not for Mosque.

For example, Niittaajankatu 12 on the banks of Herttoniemim Skanska is building residential apartments, even though a sign on the construction site state its a Herttoniemi mosque. Signs have appeared over the weekend in different parts of Helsinki. HS’s data suggests that similar signs have been erected, at least in Kamppi and Lauttasaari.

Panels are erected without asked permission of the landowner.

Signs look legitimate site from the table, as they include the architects’ office and name of electrical contractor. For example, the mosque’s architect names LCC Engineering Ltd.. The client’s name is in Arabic text.

The construction site promises more information on the internet at helsinki2020.fi, which takes you to the election page of parliamentary election candidate, masters in engineering, Juhani Mönkkösen, 30. Mönkkönen, says that immigration can not be undone, therefore the consequences have to thought of in advance.

The site also includes the Helsinki metro map, which stops the names are written in Arabic. In the same style, a placard that appears on apartment building stairwells has the names of ”Korhonen and Johansson”, however, the names are in Arabic. The name placards have been made into posters have been disseminated, at least in Vuosaari, including to the outside doors of apartment buildings.

Mönkkönen is a candidate for Helsinki.

BRAVO!

[…]

“This is required to stimulate a debate, if decisions are to be made on immigration, it will change society forever. I have nothing against the Islamic religion. I just want to stimulate debate on what is good for Finns,” says Mönkkönen by telephone.

Mönkkönen would not directly say he’s responsible for the signs of his campaign, although he is aware of them.

NOTE: The Tundra Tabloids will cut Juhani Mönkkönen some slack, for now, concerning his statement that he has nothing against the Islamic religion. There is of course everything wrong with that destructive ideology, and that it has no place within our society, as is. But first things first.

FINNISH HEAVY METAL GIG ‘CRUSHING THE BALLS OF MUHAMMAD’ SCENE OF MUSLIM THREATS AND KORAN DESECRATION

Posted on by

The Tundra Tabloids reported a couple of weeks ago on the Finnish heavy metal gig called Crushing the Balls of Muhammad” that took place this Friday, and it seems that the event led to not only threats from ‘offended’ Muslims, but also the police were called in to investigate the claim that a Koran was desecrated on stage by one of the bands playing at the event.

The Tundra Tabloids came across the following series of comments by one of the organizers of the event, Jari-Petri Heino, who mentions the following in a post and in the comment thread, about what took place. KGS

Finland is a Muslim heaven

The heavy-metal event organized by Muutos2011rp created an emotional outburst by “the offended” even before the actual event began, and even fear of a possible future terrorist attack. The event itself got moving in large numbers by mainly young people interested in music, but, as it tends to be in Finnish contemporary society, offending Islam took on tragicomic features.

Already in advance the rental agencies for the gig were threatened that if the Islamic sacred values were violated, the place would have its electricity cut off.

Personally, I had to leave the place for technical reasons already by 23:00, but then apparently something began to happen. The police arrived and police-TV (reality program), because obviously the last band defiled the Koran in some way. Muslims were not spotted in the area.

Because I was no longer present, I don’t exactly know. The Koran was desecrated in some way.
I myself am partly responsible for this horrible crime, because I saw in the band’s changing room, a pile of paper from the Koran that had Arabic writing, that had already been desecrated on numerous occasions. It seems that I should have called the police to the site back then.  =)

THE FINNISH DOG THAT PISSED OFF THE FUROR

Howl Hitler, heh heh… using the modern day political correctness and Muslim victimhood “whine industry” logic in thinking…. all of today’s neo-Nazis should be screaming for a lawyer and claiming that they’re deeply offended. KGS

[The mutt named Jackie, seen here with Finnish businessman owner Tor Borg, was dubbed Hitler by Borg’s wife as it raised its paw for the Nazi salute. The Nazis were so outraged they started an investigation]

Howl Hitler! Documents reveal the Hitler-mocking dog that enraged the Nazi government

Even by the standards of the Second World War, 1941 proved to be a somewhat eventful.

The U.S. joined the war after Pearl Harbor, Germany invaded the Soviet Union – and back in Berlin the Nazis were preoccupied with a Finnish dog called Jackie.

Papers just released by the German Foreign Office reveal Adolf Hitler’s regime was increasingly angry that the animal, which had been taught to raise its paw mimicking the Nazi salute, was mocking the Fuhrer.

Third Reich officials started a campaign against the dog’s owner, with the Foreign Office in Berlin commanding its diplomats in Nazi-friendly Finland to gather evidence on Jackie and even coming up with plans to destroy its owner’s pharmaceutical wholesale company.

Historians had not been aware of the strange footnote to the Nazi era before a researcher recently found 30 files containing correspondence and diplomatic cables in archives.

Author Klaus Hillenbrand, who examined the files for a German newpaper article to be published today, branded it ‘completely bizarre’, adding: ‘Just months before the Nazis launched their attack on the Soviet Union, they had nothing better to do than to obsess about this dog.’

Jackie’s owner was Tor Borg, a businessman from the Finnish city of Tampere. Mr Borg’s wife Josefine, a German citizen known for her anti-Nazi sentiments, dubbed the dog Hitler because of the strange way it raised its paw high in the air, like German soldiers saluting their Fuhrer

FINNISH CHRISTMAS CARD CONTAINS THREAT TO POSION ISRAELI PRODUCTS IN FINLAND

Posted on by

Tis’ the season to be jolly….

Shocker: Finnish police not taking it as an act of terrorism. The Tundra Tabloids has received similar threatening cards in the mail as well due to op-eds published in a local paper voicing support for Israel. KGS

The card reads:

Attention! Urgent

Five products from Israel have been injected with a lethal solution in Lapland, Oulu and in southern Finland, as a protest against their decision to continue expanding the settlements

Lapin Kansan: Central Bureau of Investigation estimates that the threat of poisoned products not to be related to terrorism or a serious crime. According to police information, no one has been infected or hurt due to the threat.

A threat by an unknown party announced the poisoning of foreign products in northern and southern Finland, says the Central Bureau of Investigation. According them, the threat doesn’t describe what products are targeted. Police believe its an act of a lone individual.

Central Bureau of Investigation has investigated the matter with the Food Surveillance and Customs authorities, but so far the police do not require any action from them.

PUTRID PIG’S HEAD MAILED TO SOMALI ALLIANCE OFFICE IN HELSINKI

Posted on by

The Tundra Tabloids condemns acts such as these, the best remedy is to educate people as much as possible about the dangers of Islam, sharia and the jihad doctrine. Sending a pig’s heads only makes martyrs of the Mussulmen. Right now it’s being deemed by the Finnish police as an act of racism, when opposing Islam can never be an act of racism. KGS

A Pig’s head sent to Somali Alliance’s office in Helsinki

Ilta-Sanomat: – A pigs head is an insult to our religion, “said the Somali Alliance president. A putrid pig’s head was sent to the office of the Somali Alliance located in Roihuvuori, Helsinki today.

– The pig’s head came by mail in a box from Tampere. At first we thought that the box had ads. Because of the smell, we didn’t dare open it ourselves, so we asked the police to open the package, says the Somali Alliance President, Abdirashid Dirie.

The piece of mail was accompanied by a note that wished a Merry Christmas. The sender was marked as “free thinkers”. The same racist group suspected of a breaking the Somali Alliance windows a week ago.

Last summer, the Alliance had gallons of oil poured into its mailbox, and the doors and windows had eggs thrown at it.

– This is the first time that the acts of vandalism had been against our religion. Senders know that we are Muslims and we do not eat pork, Abdirashid says.

According to him, still afternoon in the office smelled so bad that it was difficult to be there. Police are investigating the incident as a case of defamation. The incident was first told to (paper) Suomenmaa.

NOTE: Hopefully the Somalis don’t reject Finland’s first president on the same grounds.

MULTI-CULTI EPIC FAIL: WHY OFFICIAL BI-LINGUAL COUNTRIES WILL NEVER HAVE A SINGULAR IDENTITY……..

Posted on by

Tundra Tabloids covers an issue that should resonate with Canadians.

The Finnish state broadcaster YLE2 this past Tuesday (30.11.2010) aired a live broadcast of a studio discussion group on “mandatory Swedish”, a topic that flares up now and then in the Finnish media. Swedish was made the 2nd official language of Finland and its status is recognized in the Finnish constitution. In the 70?s the learning of the Swedish language was made compulsory in schools, so the language of 5% of the Finnish population was forced upon the remaining 95%, and the angst over that decision has remained ever since.

The fact remains that there exists two distinct identities in Finland, predictably, based upon the languages of both groups. Such “identity” tension will always remain between the two groups because each side will always act, in what’s deemed to be, in their own self interests. It’s a highly logical, and as I said earlier, a predictable outcome.

Now add to that mix the thought of increased mass numbers of immigrants with a plethora of languages who will be demanding their own rights to use their own languages in Finnish society. But the Finnish-Swedish speakers have a plan, a few of their number (in the live broadcast) announced their party’s intention to grab as many foreigners as possible and steer them into speaking Swedish. They made a case for the Finnish government to get involved and make it possible for immigrants to choose which language to study and to identify themselves with.

One of the Finnish-Swedish participants mentioned the fact that in the late 1800?s, Jews who were allowed to immigrate to Finland by the Russian Czar, learned Swedish, so there’s history on their side of immigrants learning Swedish and integrating into society. But what was left unmentioned, was these Jews spoke Yiddish, a dialect of German and they found it much easier to learn than the host language (at first), and that every Finnish Jew is now fluent in three languages, Finnish, Swedish and English.

It’s just in the coastal areas of Finland and in the island archipelago of Åland that Finnish-Swedes are not learning Finnish, and for the most part, have a completely different identity to that of the Finnish speakers that make up 95& of the country. So now the party of the Swedish speaking minority is actively trying to pull immigrants to its party which explains the the Swedish speaking Minister of Immingration and of Europe, Astrid Thors, actions over the last few years.

This is bound to drive an even deeper wedge between the Swedish speakers and the majority of Finnish speaking Finns. It just highlights the fact that different language groups will do whatever possible in securing their future, which creates in the end, a divided society with competing goals. Hardly a recipe for a cohesive, functioning society. The video of the event (in Finnish) is still available here, for the next 30 some days. KGS

Finn-Swedes as a percentage of the Finnish population

NOTE: If multiculturalism fails miserably to produce a joint identity with people of shared history, how in the hell is it going to work with vast numbers of immigrants coming from the Middle East?

Some Swedish-Speakers ‘Foreigners’ in Own Country

Though not always in the public eye, Finland is home to many Finns who face a linguistic barrier in many aspects of their daily life. Some of the country’s 300,000 Swedish-speakers don’t speak any Finnish at all, leading to an array of difficulties.

Within the Åland Islands, Ostrobothnia and the Turku archipelago, there are pockets where Finnish is hardly spoken and society is wholly Swedish-speaking. Continue Reading →

THREE DEAD IN KEBAB ARSON BLAST IN FINLAND

A Tundra Tabloids’ source claims to know the person who saw the two perps running out of the building just before it blew. The unnamed source also says that the police have the Iraqi store owner in custody for questioning. KGS

UPDATE: According to the Helsingin Sanomat: The man who was at the city’s center told the Helsingin Sanomat that he heard a loud bang and then saw how the restaurant was flying supplies out into the street. All  the windows in the Restaurant were broken. Several other people in the vicinity of the fire had heard in the morning a strong bang. The center of Tampere in the morning was full of smoke.

One Man Detained in Connection with Fatal Fire

YLE: Police in Tampere have detained one man thought to be involved in Monday morning’s fatal fire in the city centre. Forensic evidence indicates that the fire, which took three lives, was intentionally set.

They announced on Tuesday morning they had taken one man into custody, but declined to say whether he was one of two seen leaving the scene.

Police are investigating the fire as a case of aggravated arson, three cases of first degree manslaughter and four cases of battery.

The blaze, which started in the foreign-owned Juliet kebab-pizzeria on the ground floor, caused the deaths of three and the hospitalization of another four people. Police say there is no evidence indicating that it was a crime specifically aimed against immigrants, but said that the theory could not be ruled out.

Three of the four who were hospitalized were released on Monday afternoon. One elderly woman was still in intensive care on Tuesday morning, but her condition had stabilised.

The dead were two men and one woman, all in their late 20s. They were found in stairwells on the first floor and between the 4th and 5th floors.

Police are asking the public for any eyewitness reports of people or vehicles seen near the site of the blaze just before or after the fire broke out aruond 5.26 a.m.. They have an eyewitness report of two figures dressed in dark clothing seen running from the area toward the Kyttälä neighbourhood just after the fire began.

TRUE FINNS SPOKESMAN TIMO SOINI: THE EU CONSTITUTION WAS THE BIGGEST BRAINWASHING PROCESS EVER

Posted on by

In response to the question about what to think of Greece’s announcement that it won’t be able to pay back it’s debt on time, and that Finland is expected to hand over millions to a failing Ireland, Timo Soini, spokesman for the True Finns party, whose party has extended its popularity to + 14% of the vote, responded in a MTV3 interview this morning on Finnish TV: “Did it come as a surprise? No it didn’t.”

He goes on further to add:

“When Greece was discussed earlier, it was clear then that Greece wouldn’t be able to pay back its debt. Now Ireland falls into the same hole, not as deeply, but it won’t survive without outside help. We should distance ourselves from Ireland. When the EU’s constitution was approved, we were told that it would bring jobs, I was there at the time. It was the West’s biggest brainwashing process. Now where are we? We were lied to then, and we’re being lied to now.

All three countries who are in trouble, Greece Portugal and Spain, are all EU monetary (Euro) members, and why, because the EU monetary system is political not about the economy. […] It’s not based on the free market economy nor does it work. The different economies  and their abilities are too different. It was a political decision to make the monetary union, and “political money” doesn’t work.

The interest rates are low in Sweden, in Denmark and in the UK, they are the ones that have their own money. A sensible economic policy should be formulated, whether it be inside or outside the EMU, but the whole time its being spun that there’s only one possibility, a monetary union. Such thinking isn’t possible without a fusion of politics, like finance politics, tax politics etc.. This has been the EU’s aim, towards a federalized European Union. This is a wrong policy.”

The drone MTV3 morning show host: “Why Timo Soini, is it wrong politics, why is harmonizing such a bad idea, a joint Europe, in which the welfare state is spread evenly?!”

Because sovereignty is the most important political value. So that Finns, in their own parliament, can decide all of their own issues. So now that we’ve come into this super state of Europe, we’re just floating along, then the finance minister is once again explaining why it has to be done like this, and then brings it before our parliament, but knowing full well why it was done. Greece should be thrown out of the EMU system, because Greece won’t survive no matter how much money you pump into it.

The only solution is for those countries in an economic crisis, should be returned to their own currencies. They should devalue 30%, and they should gradually climb themselves back into balance. Outside of doing that, nothing else will help.European-wide cooperation is needed, but the federation should be rejected. Only a common economic and free trade area would have a meaningful form of cooperation.

Sounds like good politics to the Tundra Tabloids, and only when other countries begin to take his words seriously, do we have a hope of breaking the EU altogether, because the politicians can’t be trusted not to try and re-invent another evil supra-state, because it’s in their DNA. KGS

HONOR KILLING DESCRIBED IN FINNISH COURT AS BRUTAL RITUAL MURDER DURING SENTENCING

Posted on by
Last year, when the story broke about the murder of an ethnic Pakistani woman who divorced her husband, (also from Pakistan), the Tundra Tabloids reported that the Finnish police and prosecutor were treating the crime as just a homicide, void of any outside Islamic  influence. Well it’s now obvious that the prosecution has changed its mind. The murder by the 35 year old Pakistani defendant was described as “a very premeditated, raw, ritual slaughter”  with the perp getting a life sentence, by the Lappeenranta court. A life sentence in Finland means a minimum of 11-12 years in jail. KGS

NOTE: This report in Finnish, states that he got life, or at least 11 yrs.

A former spouse accused of killing an ethnic Pakistani woman (sitting in the middle behind the paper) will receive the verdict today. On the left is his translator, Riti Sandu, on the right  his lawyer Heikki Lampela.

The handling of the case that happened less than a year ago in Lappeenranta, will come to an end today in  the South Karelia, district court.

The last time the issue was discussed in the District Court was in April of last year. The convicted man was sent by a state at the time, to a mental facility for study.

It is a story in which the victim, a 34-year old Pakistani woman was living in Finland. The killer was the woman’s ex-spouse, who also was born in Pakistan. They had been married during the  years 2005-2007.

In District Prosecutor Mark O. Ahonen’s view, it was very premeditated act of murder, a raw ritual slaughter.

According to Defense lawyer, Heikki Lampela, it was just an act of murder.

After the murder, the killer tried to escape from Finland, but the police arrested him at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport.
