"THE GUARDIAN" AND "EL MUNDO" PRO PRESS FREEDOM IN EUROPE.

This was my comment in The Guardian when the Scandinavian editors expressed their solidarity to the English newspaper.

Some of the Finnish newspapers have still a self-censorship system. During the Soviet epoch the biggest Finnish newspaper "Helsingin Sanomat" never put a Russian critical article on it's pages. When Edward Snowden revealed the American NSA all-spying net , the reactions of e.g. "Helsingin Sanomat" and the other important Finnish newspaper "Turun Sanomat" was against the surveillance journalism which "The Guardian" and Glenn Greenwald was doing.
Both of these newspapers have censored some of my comments over international politics. My opinions are always anti racists and anti violence and pro nature,pro sustainable economy, pro human rights, pro individual privacy and liberals.
At last the Scandinavian editors dare to express there opinion together, when "The Guardian" and Glenn Greenwald have opened and cleaned the road from press' anti freedom obstacles.

I will also thank in this place  the Spanish newspaper "El Mundo", who has always published my critical comments.
"Helsingin Sanomat" and Turun Sanomat have their own peculiar understanding what is PRESS FREEDOM.

HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS NSA?

First of all you (NSA) need to prove that there are more survivors because of your surveillance activity , than if there would be none. This is extremely difficult, because you are a top secret intelligence organization and to prove your efficiency is something totally  impossible because your statistics and information are qualified very dangerous in enemy's hands (China, Russia).
The only option you (NSA) have at the moment is to find and see enemies all over and lurking everywhere, behind every corner prepared to act.Enemies which are E-mailing and Facebooking their bad intentions to destroy human lives. You (NSA) need to search words and phrases  in  Internet which  have a connection to bad intentions(XKeyscore program). You need to close your embassies in hostile areas, send home your diplomats and put your  special troops in alert  and still with all these preparations,  the illiterate enemy hits without any warning  somewhere deep in your home country .
NSA, this is my advice, change the attitude and  start to give a positive signal to people and nations with a different cultural inheritance  , whose background is not American  and Western European  Roman style ,veni, vidi, vici. Be humble, don't take first to these areas  Coca Cola ,KFC and McDonald which represents miserable food culture in these  countries which have long historical traditions in  cooking art and don't punish them with your Hollywood  film stories and their goodwill "snowmen" who travel around the world  sharing United Nation's good news.
Be honest, behind all these efforts which you have done , there is a national greediness to guarantee that the energy sources in Asia and Africa are only under your control.

NSA AND GCHQ, YES WE CAN!

Recently the British newspaper The Guardian revealed that the US intelligence service NSA paid 100 million £ to the British GCHQ  for their "twilight"  services. NSA budget is at least 10 billion US$ and GCHQ together with MI6 receives in Great Britain  £ 2 billion (Sterling Pounds).Imagine to have all this money in education and scientific research. Imagine all these useless "jamesbonds" investigating the environmental pollution and the global warming effect on the nature and on the weather. Imagine a day when you can trust your government so they don't need to spy on you. Imagine a government only working for the community's best , a bank with reliable CEO:s,  an official who is not corrupted, a policeman who is only using his authority to serve the community.

All intelligence  which is today secret will be  in the future under criminal investigations. If there is no information which explains the  "heroic acts " today, the history will one day in the future  dig them  up  and bury the "hollywood"heroes in a dumping-ground.

The British GCHQ headquarter in Cheltenham, Glouchestershire is a big megalomaniac monument showing man's indifference over the nature. Hard necks need a hard disc symbol.

TURUN SANOMAT IS PUBLISHING PRO NSA

Thanks to Glenn Greenwald from The Guardian, that we, who still believe in the citizen's basic liberties ,we know now what the intelligence services in some countries are doing.He has had enough courage to contact the man in Moscow Airport and building a safe channel to introduce the information for freedom loving people's consciousness and being same  time afraid of his corporal integrity.

For Finnish privacy experts XKeyscore is only "excellent", the private commerce is the problem.

Turun Sanomat the Finnish daily newspaper from Turku, is publishing in it's digital edition first of August 2013,an inquiry done by STT, where Finnish "privacy professionals" consider the commerce as the biggest threat against people's privacy. This is only good news for NSA, because some of the "professionals" also commented , that many people may have problems to obtain  a VISA, if they travel to United States.

P.S Finland's SUPO (security police) have still to clear up the difficult STASI -inheritance from the DDR- times.

FINNISH JIHADIST DIES IN SYRIA

I thought that the  native Finnish  have had enough war experiences during the World War I and II. It was surprising to read from Turun Sanomat,that a young Finnish had died during the battle of Aleppo. What was more surprising was the news, that more young Finnish and even whole families with children  have  gone via Turkey to Siria.
Every new generation have it's fanatics, religious and political, which use always the same excuse for violence; oppression. How many conflicts have been solved with violence, and if you take your family with you  to an area where there is going a civil war, it is only "gasoline" in the fire.
One of the biggest newspapers in Finland, Turun Sanomat, censured my antiwar comment based on comparison the  "burka" with a bunker and pointing the fact of women's and children's fate between the fighting parts.(XKeyscore controlled)
Finnish have still a lurking "shoot back" -mentality, and if a  religion can unite these three typical national elements : stubbornness, patriotism and "give it back"- mentality, there will be soon more Finnish  Jihadist dying for Islam in Siria. The article of Turun Sanomat, was a pro-jihadist and proud to be one , without any war critic.
