Alakoulun kevätjuhlan lopussa rehtori ilmoitti, että aiheeseen liittyvästä uutisoinnista huolimatta laulamme myös tämän juhlan päätteeksi yhdessä Suvivirren. Jos joku kokee, että ei halua osallistua tai kuunnella, salista voi poistua. Kukaan ei poistunut.

Iltalehti julkaisi tänään maksumuurin takana vinkin: ”Unohda suomalaiset vastamelukuulokkeet, tässä parempi vaihtoehto.”

Pakkohan se oli lukea. Koska olemme käytännössä kategorian ainoa suomalainen valmistaja, viesti tuli perille. Kyllähän tästä oli mennä meni aamukahvit väärään kurkkuun. Onhan se vähän epäreilua tulla unohdetuksi juuri kun on hyvä vauhti maailmanvalloituksessa.

Henri kirjoitti aiheesta blogin. Se on rehellinen tilitys siitä, miltä tuntuu olla virallisesti ”unohdettava” suomalainen yritys ja miksi emme suostu katoamaan kartalta. Galaktinen herruus vaatii rahaa ja me tarvitsemme teidän rahojanne yhä aivan yhtä paljon kuin ennenkin.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has just called to congratulate us on our victory.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Russian agents are in Budapest. They are here to meddle with the election. Expect fake news, AI and even a potential false flag incident if Orban loses. Be cautious what you read over the next 24 hours. Disinformation will be in overdrive. Orban is not going to go quietly.

[Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) @magyarpeterMP]

Orbán and his team have started spreading Russian-style disinformation. They are sending out messages falsely claiming that our candidates are withdrawing. TISZA is not withdrawing anywhere; we are running with a real chance of winning in every constituency.

[Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) @magyarpeterMP]

An incredible moment at yesterday’s campaign stop: a massive crowd of TISZA supporters filled the square in Győr.
In 46 hours, Hungary votes.
On April 12, together with the Hungarian people, we make history!

[Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) @magyarpeterMP]

60 óra múlva megkezdődik a sorsdöntő választás. Kérlek Benneteket, hogy adjatok bele apait-anyait! Legyetek aktívak az online térben is! Rendszerváltásra fel!

[Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) @magyarpeterMP]

Without any further comment.
Köszönöm Magyarország! ❤️🤍💚

New statement by opposition leader Peter Magyar, who according to polls is expected to defeat Viktor Orban in Sunday’s election:

“No foreign country may interfere in Hungarian elections. This is our country. Hungarian history is not written in Washington, Moscow, or Brussels—it is written in Hungary’s streets and squares. Five days to go!”

When I travel outside of Ukraine, I get daily intelligence updates online. This morning, I was briefed that U.S. military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran.

On March 24th, they imaged the U.S.–UK joint military facility on Diego Garcia located in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. They also captured pictures of Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field. On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, İncirlik Air Base in Türkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th.

There are no Ukrainian facilities on this list. But who is helping whom when sanctions are lifted from an aggressor that earns daily revenue and provides intelligence for strikes against American, Middle Eastern, UK, and U.S.–UK bases and so on?

When surveillance is carried out over facilities in Ukraine, we always understand that they must be protected, since plans are in motion to destroy them – energy and water infrastructure, military facilities, and so on. Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes. How can sanctions be eased if this is what the Russians are doing?

There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. It looks strange. Sanctions are being lifted, while the aggressor is providing intelligence to strike facilities, including those of the countries that are discussing or have already lifted sanctions.

From my conversation with journalists (3/3).

The Orbán mafia can see that it’s over. The "Dynasty" has begun moving its stolen wealth abroad.
Orbán’s longtime ally and friend, György Matolcsy, the former national bank governor is now quietly liquidating his domestic holdings.
Orbán’s oligarch, Lőrinc Mészáros, is securing his fortune.
Orbán’s son-in-law, István Tiborcz, is shifting his assets abroad.
Those at the very top already know that their power and their unchecked looting is coming to an end. They know the clock is ticking.
That is why the scramble to abandon the sinking ship has begun.

A TISZA government will uncover every case. It will review every contract. We will trace every financial transaction. We will know exactly where the money came from, who it passed through, and where it ended up.
It will no longer be possible to make public money disappear without consequences, nor to move abroad what belongs to the Hungarian people.

To @PM_ViktorOrban and his circle, we send this message today, in the coming 16 days, and especially on April 12: this era is over.

Robert Mueller died last night.

He was 81 years old. He had a wife who loved him for sixty years. He had two daughters, one of whom he met for the first time in Hawaii, in 1969, on a few hours of military leave, before he got back on the plane and returned to Vietnam. He had grandchildren. He had a faith he practiced quietly, without performance. He had, in the way of men who have seen real things and survived them, a quality that is increasingly rare and increasingly mocked in the country he spent his life serving.

He had integrity.

And tonight the President of the United States said good!

I have been sitting with that word for hours now. Good. One syllable. The thing you say when the coffee is hot or the traffic is moving. The thing a man who has never had to bury anyone, never had to sit in the specific silence of a room where someone is newly absent, reaches for when he wants the world to know he is satisfied. Good. The daughters are crying and the wife is alone in the house and good.

I want to speak directly to the Americans reading this. Not the political Americans. Just the human ones. The ones who have lost a father. The ones who know what it is to be in that first hour, when you keep forgetting and then remembering again, when ordinary objects become unbearable, when the world outside the window seems obscene in its indifference. I want to ask you, simply, to hold that feeling for a moment, and then to understand that the man you elected looked at it and typed a single word.

Good.

This is not a country having a bad day. I need you to understand that. Countries have bad days. Elections go wrong. Leaders disappoint. Institutions bend. But there is a different thing, a rarer and more terrible thing, that happens when the moral center of a place simply gives way. Not dramatically. Not with a single catastrophic event. But quietly, in increments, until one evening a president celebrates the death of an old man whose family is still warm with grief, and enough people find it acceptable that it becomes the weather. Just the weather.

That is what is happening. That is what has happened.

The world knows. From Tokyo to Oslo, from London to Buenos Aires, people are not angry at America tonight. Anger would mean there was still something to fight for, some remaining faith to be betrayed. What I see, in the reactions from everywhere that is not here, is something older and sadder than anger. It is the look people get when they have waited a long time for someone they love to find their way back, and have finally understood that they are not coming.

America is being grieved. Past tense, almost. The idea of it. The thing it represented to people who had nothing else to believe in, who came here with everything they owned in a single bag because they had heard, somehow, across an ocean, that this was the place where decency was written into the walls. That idea is not resting. It is not suspended. It is being buried, in real time, with 7,450 likes before dinner.

And the church said nothing.

Seventy million people have decided that this man, this specific man who has cheated everyone he has ever made a promise to, who has mocked the disabled and the dead and the grieving, who celebrated tonight while a family wept, is an instrument of God. The pastors who made that bargain did not just trade away their credibility. They traded away the thing that made them worth listening to in the first place. The cross they carry now is a costume. The faith they preach is a loyalty oath with scripture attached. When the history of American Christianity is written, this will be the chapter they skip at seminary.

Now I want to talk about the men who stand next to him.

Because this is the part that actually breaks my heart.

JD Vance is not a bad man. I have to say that, because it is true, and because the truth matters even now, especially now. Marco Rubio is not a bad man. Lindsey Graham is not a bad man. They are idiots, but not bad, as in BAD! These are men with mothers who raised them and children who love them and friends who remember who they were before all of this. They are not monsters. Monsters are simple. Monsters do not cost you anything emotionally because there is nothing in them to mourn.

These men are something more painful than monsters.

They are men who knew better, and know better still, and will get up tomorrow and do it again.

Every small compromise they made had a reason. Every moment they looked the other way had a justification that sounded, at the time, almost reasonable. And now they have arrived here, at a place where a president celebrates the death of an old man and they will find a way, on television, to say nothing that means anything, and they will go home to houses where children who carry their name are waiting, and they will say goodnight, and they will say nothing.

Their oldest friends are watching. The ones who knew Rubio when he still believed in something. Who knew Graham when he said, out loud, on the record, that this exact man would destroy the Republican Party and deserve it. Who sat next to Vance and thought here is someone worth knowing. Those friends are not angry tonight. They moved through anger a long time ago. What they feel now is the quiet, irrecoverable sadness of watching someone disappear while still being present. Of watching a person they loved choose, again and again, to become less.

That is what cowardice costs. Not the coward. The people who loved him.

And in the comments tonight, the followers celebrate. People who ten years ago brought casseroles to grieving neighbours. Who stood in the rain at gravesides and meant the words they said. Who told their children that we do not speak ill of the dead because the dead were someone's beloved. Those people are tonight typing gleeful things about a man whose daughters are not yet done crying. And they feel clean doing it. Righteous. Because somewhere along the way the thing they were given in exchange for their decency was the feeling of belonging to something, and that feeling is very hard to give up even when you can no longer remember what you gave for it.

When Trump is gone, they will still be here.

Standing in the silence where the noise used to be. Without the permission the crowd gave them. Without the pastor who told them their cruelty was holy. They will be alone with what they said and what they cheered and what they chose to become, and there will be no one left to tell them it was righteous.

That morning is coming.

Robert Mueller flew across the Pacific on military leave to hold his newborn daughter for a few hours before returning to the war. He came home. He buried his dead with honour. He served presidents of both parties because he understood that the institution was larger than any one man. He told his grandchildren that a lie is the worst thing a person can do, that a reputation once lost cannot be recovered, and he lived that, every day, in the quiet and unglamorous way of people who actually believe what they say.

He was the kind of American the world used to point to when it needed to believe the story was true.

He died last night. His wife is alone in their house in Georgetown. His daughters are learning what the world is without him in it. And somewhere in the particular hush that falls over a family in the first hours of loss, the most powerful man and the biggest loser on earth sent a message to say he was glad.

The world that loved what America was supposed to be is grieving tonight. Not for Robert Mueller only. For the country that produced him and then became this. For the distance between what was promised and what was delivered. For the suspicion, growing quieter and more certain with each passing month, that the America people believed in was always partly a story, and the story is over now, and there is nothing yet to replace it.

That is all it needed to be.

A man died. His family is broken open with grief.

That is all it needed to be.

Instead the President said good.

And the country that once stood for something looked away 🇺🇸

Lapset ja nuoret joutuivat ihmiskokeeseen, kun opetushallituksen asiantuntijat halusivat äärimmäistä digiloikkaa. Jokainen maalaisjärkisillä aivoilla ajatteleva tiesi, miten siinä liian monille käy.

”Oppitunnit ovat rauhoittuneet, ja oppilaat keskittyvät opetukseen eivätkä seikkaile tietokoneen välilehdillä.”

”Koevastaukset ovat nyt syvempiä ja monipuolisempia kuin ennen.”
