The truth will save Finland; the lie will destroy it. Winston Churchill said, "Occasionally man stumbles over the truth, but usually he manages to right himself and move on unchanged." To survive as a nation we must seize the truth and cling to it or we will disappear with all the other lost civilizations. The list of lies we have accepted as truth is weighing us down, preventing positive action to save ourselves. It allows our enemies to overtake us and eventually destroy us. Our new found love of the lie is now overtaking all of Europe, and it is happening so fast nobody will believe it because the news media is in a blackout mode about it. Islam has reawakened its ambition to rework the world into one Islamic entity, and the Muslim Brotherhood can just about taste victory. The news media is silent, not a peep, and if there is, it is usually conciliatory toward Islam and those that live under its spell, the Muslims. This is lying by omission, but also directly regarding the nature of Islam itself. This has nothing to do with Muslims, many of whom do not know what is in their religion any more than most of us. Whether they defend Islam in ignorance or knowledge, they are doing damage to our people who don't know any different. Muslims say there is nothing to fear in Islam, calling anyone that does, an Islamophobe and anyone speaking truth "hate speech." But think about it: is there anything to fear in losing your freedoms and way of life? Do you hate violence and loss of freedom? Islam is slavery and violence, (open your eyes) not freedom.
We love all people, including Muslims, that is the bottom line, but we do not have to accept their values over our own. Nor do we have to allow them to freely exercise their own Shariah Law on our soil, such things as wife beating, an age old custom from the Arabs and carried forward in Islamic Law as right and good, in a religion dominated by men and violence. Muslims are not the problem; Islam is the problem and Muslims are victims, prisoners of a religion that has a death penalty for leaving. Their law is called Shariah. Allowing Shariah is the bginning of the end of Finland for after that no Finnish tradition will be safe. The very flag will go; the blue cross will go very quickly because it offends Mulims. It is not Islamophobia to say that we deplore these things; it is our culture and we do not tolerate compromising our values and identity. Our laws were originally based on the truth, but now they have been corrupted by false teachings in most western countries. Regardless, still everyone must live by our laws, not the laws of some foreign ideology. We have been derelict of our duty as citizens; we (in the Western World) have accepted many false ideas without a second thought, and it is time to go back to go forward. I love Americans and British and everything in between, but we do not have to repeat the self depricating, self destructive things they are doing by willfully disregarding truth in favor of the false. It has become cool to say bad things, lies, about Christ and Christians in general, perfectly legal, and to praise Islam and Muhammad. It is illegal to discuss him and Islam in Finland, and if this reversal around the world doesn't stop, there is no hope for us and if we follow the example of America, Britain and France, Finland as well. Islam has good and not so good interlaced in their written doctrine which is exactly how we become enticed to believe it is all nice and within the scope of our culture. That belief is a mistake, and I'll give you an example. I love animals and all living things, (except maybe disease organisms) including dogs, in fact I have a degree in biology from the University of Victoria BC, Canada. The Bible says that when God created everything, he declared it was good. Muhammad hated dogs. How could a real prophet hate dogs? It does not compute! Especially black dogs, but no dog was safe from his sword. During the Iranian Revolution, the Ayatollah Khomeini started a campaign to slaughter dogs, ripping them from the arms of their horrified owners. It certainly is not in the Biblical tradition, and Muhammad claims to be like the prophets but better: he gets to have the last word. Every Arab knows what Islam is, or should know, that it is not a peaceful religion as evidensed by 1400 years of spreading the religion by violence, and of course, terror. We never hear about these things on TV. The reason given is they don't want to offend Muslims. Well, we offended Stalin, and later Hitler as well. The US offended the Emperor of Japan. Offending is defending freedom, and that is now being denied. At the risk of offending, we have to get the word out about the real Islam, to correct the dismal record of our news media that is often Defending Islam or just not putting blame where it belongs. They are actually cowardly, like the lion in "Wizard of Oz." That is too bad, especially for Finland, the land of heroes, the land of Kalevala.
Muhammad himself went on 66 campaigns of violence, rape and pillaging before he was poisoned by his wife. Every time his name is mentioned they have to say "peace be upon him" - but they know he did not practice it. Those Muslims that claim he never killed do not know their own religion or they are practicing Takiyah, or lying for Islam. Now there are some who have had enough of fighting and are beginning to speak out, the real truth about Islam with the hpe of saving freedom. There is suspicion when non-Muslim do it, but when Muslims speak out it is more believable. When you hear the truth, you too will be alarmed at our lack of knowledge and preparedness to face the real Islam. Former Muslim tells the truth about Muhammad and Islam. They know how our own governments are against the people, lying to them, and on their side, promoting Islam, perhaps hoping they will not become the next victim of the violence, or worse, working for the enemy. We, the West, are in denial of the facts. Arab speaks out.
Neuropsychology says we have 60,000 thoughts in our brains every day, and 80% are negative. It is no wonder that United States rose quickly to become the greatest nation on earth. Their belief in Jesus Christ obviously made a big difference. The point is that it was not faith in Muhammad or Allah.
The in the video below, where Rosey O'Donald stated that radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam. If uou watch the video, you will see that it was a lie, and it is typical in the United States. The end to this is disaster for America. We all have to 1) know the truth, and 2) accept it and call a spade a spade, and forget the political correctness or tiptoeing around trying not to step on anyone's (except Christians and Jews) feet. Christians, who seem to be the only ones willing to speak the truth are made into the bad guys, and that has to stop or we're all doomed. Finns do not keep their women in line by fear; we talk things over like civilized people, and we honor our women as the weaker vessel as the Bible commands, which is the source of these customs and laws. Sadly, many if not most of them are missing from Islam and our job as Finns is to show them a better, more peaceful way, even Christianity which many have already embraced as their personal source of freedom. They are free for the first time in their lives, to do so in Finland. But even in Finland, they are still in a self imposed prison of their culture in most cases. We do not threaten people if they wish to not be Christians, or leave; they can be whatever they want. Leaving Islam is a death sentence, if the commands of Muhammad are followed. The purpose of this writing is to start people thinking for themselves, discussing these issues openly, and to provide factual information for that end. So how do know what a Muslim believes. Is it similar to our own religion? We have heard only the peaceful things, from a time when Muhammad was just starting out, before his military victories, booty and slaves, so let's get the rest of the story. Dumb things Muhammad did and said, not encouraging.
A parallel system running concurrently in the same country as in UK is simply not acceptable in our culture. Finland is Finnish right through the beloved country, from Helsinki to Turku, north to Lapland and East to North Karelia, and south to the Gulf of Finland. That is sacred ground won by the blood of our fathers to be forever free, of the shackles of Islam and every other system which tries to enslave the noble and free Finnish people of the North. It is not and never will be partly Muslim (undemocratic) and partly Christian Democratic. To Islam Christianity is an abomination, and anyone who says Jesus is the son of God is to be killed; only infidels, polytheists believe god has a son. To Muslims we are Christians whether we are or are not because our system is based on Christian values, which they are taught to hate. We have no problem with anyone if they want to live with us in peace and accept us for what we are, that we are a Christian democratic nation that by virtue of these qualities, they are able to come here and live amongst us. The message is, we don't want any trouble, but it seems to be looming just over the horizon, in Britain and France where demonstrating Muslims have succeeded in intimidating the locals to the point where Shariah Law was accepted as part of the British legal system. That is why I am informing that we do not want the same treatment. If the shoe was on the other foot and we were Christians seeking refuge in a Muslim country, we would most likely be put back on the plane. What makes us different? Probably what influenced us the most was undeniably our religion, about 500 years of Christianity. We learned "love thy neighbor" and that and other Christian concepts have stuck in our culture. This is seen as a weakness to be exploited by those who do not have our best interests in mind. You do not have to be an expert on Islam or to know how Islam is doing in their attempt to conquer the world for Islam. You just have to know where to go for factual information, and I can tell you right now it is not YLE, CBC, BBC or any of the News networks in the US, because many of them are controlled by Muslim interests in the Middle East, with their oil money and influence. YLE discussion, such as PUHE, is entirely controlled by YLE, like an interview, and these important issues are conspicuous for their absence. The topics are usually "saving the world" rather than "saving Finland." Forget them and go to Tom Wallace who has dedicated his life to telling you the truth. Everything you need is at this one site.

Welcome to Uralic Family Home Page
about Finnish and related people. The Uralic Family of languages is comprised of
two branches: 1) Finno-Ugric, and 2) Samoyedic. The Baltic Finnish/Karelian and Estonian
(Finnic), Hungarian (Ugric) and Lapp people belong to this distinct group of
linguistically and culturally related people. There are also more related groups in the
former Soviet Union, most of which are quickly being assimilated into the dominant Russian
language and culture. The eastern Finnish languages cannot be understood by Finns today as
contacts to the east have been more or less cut for eight hundred years of Russian
history.
Place-names which stretch all the way to the Ural mountains are ancient
Finnish related in origin which can be seen in the map section. Many place names have
similar prefixes although they might be several thousand kilometers apart. Finno-Ugric place names based
on the root "sum" and "sam"
Some Finnish people, and especially Estonians, have a keen interest in their
relatives to the east with whom many still feel some kinship ties. The eastern Finnish
cultures have developed with many Turkic and Slavic cultural, religious and linguistic
influences.
Finnish culture, which is the main focus at this site, is very Scandinavian
in style, but Finno-Ugric origins make the people distinct in many ways.
Who are the Uralic people? Where did they come from? Where do they live? What
is their language and culture like? This web page explores these and many other questions
relating to Uralic people: their past, present and future.
One cannot understand Finnish language, history and culture without some
knowledge of related people. Finnish history and culture that are presented in these pages
is set against a background of the other Finno-Ugric people. Finnish written history is
only from the second millennium, but fortunately the Finns have a strong oral tradition
going back to the ice ages. Finns, and Karelian tribes in particular, had a strong oral
tradition of rune singing their history, ancient shamanistic beliefs, myth, magic, love
and war. These traditions survived in Karelia probably because of the relative isolation
from the early Finnish church. These stories were collected in the 19th Century and
compiled into one story, composed of a masterful collection of epic poems that reveal the
daily life of the people over millennia. Karelia has a long history going back over eight
thousand years. You can also
read about the period in which the slavs began intercepting Karelian trade with the
Norwegians and Volga traders. The slavs came and actually took over the key trading posts
to the East, forcing the inhabitants to move west. Perm / Karelian Power and decline in

Today, Finns love their
Kalevala which is read and enjoyed not as a religion, but as a rich historical and
mythological legacy of their ancestors. Kalevala

the Rings, and Longfellow's Hiawatha. See also a linguistic analysis of Quenya language. Are High Elves Finno-Ugric?
Quenya or Kwen, is a northern Finnish tribe whose descendants still live on the coast of

Finland and The Finnish People
Finland (Suomi), a northern European country of 5.2 million people, is a land
where peasants have always been free. Historically, Finns are stubbornly independent and
hard-working. Finns are generally people of their word, and words have a special meaning. The North American habit of trivializing promises, is not understood by Finns, who take such things seriously. They are not traditionally known for their small talk. So when a Finn says something, he means it, whereas an American or Canadian often throws out an invitation casually, and immediately forget it. It is a cultural thing.
Since 1155, Finland had been in the Swedish realm. Finland became the
borderline between the Orthodox east and Western Christianity. Most Finns are Lutheran, which is basically
Protestantism. (simply put, the Bible is the highest authority) In 1808, Finland became a
Russian autonomous Grand Duchy, a special status giving the Finns great control of their
internal government. After the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Finland became an independent republic
with a social democratic government. The Finnish Independence Day is December 6.
At 337,000 sq. km. (130,128.01 sq. mi.), with 60,000 lakes, Finland is a
little smaller than Montana, about the size of New England, New Jersey, and New York
combined, or 4/10 the size of British Columbia, Canada. Finland's southern shores are at
the approximate latitude of Yukon/Northwest Territories/British Columbia border. Mapquest Stats summary with
map Finland's education system is rated (2002, 2003) third best in the world. Finland's Education System Tops
This makes Finns among the smartest people in the whole world, placing third
behind Korea and Japan and way ahead of the Swedes. Finland ranked
number one on the UN's latest (2003) technology achievement index. Information Technology Association of Canada
NEW YORK - No country has an economy more conducive to sustained growth
than Finland. So says the World Economic Forum (WEF) in its newly released
Global Competitiveness Report. Forbes, 2004

Now don't you think your country should have free University education too?
The damage done by Katrina would probably put every teenager in America through
University, for free. What kind of spin-off would that produce?
All things considered, you are lucky to be a Finn and Finland is one of the best
places in the world to be if not the best, still. What makes the difference?
"Finnishness" of course, which is why we should preserve it. Finns are open to
learning from other people, but perhaps Finns too have a lot to contribute as models to
emulate. These better values, and identity that built and sustained Finland (which most
Finns understand intuitively) should never be discarded as useless and outdated,
especially under international pressure or socialist idealism.
In
1939 and again in 1944, Finland was almost swallowed up by its giant
communist neighbor, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics headed by the
dictator Joseph Stalin. Although Finland managed to remain outside
the Soviet Union, she lost most of the province of Karelia and more
than 400,000 people were relocated in Finland, which included the writer's
parents and grandparents. The question why Stalin's allies were ready to
give up Finland to Communist slavery, is one that still baffles the writer.
Like many other European countries, and Finland would have ended up
in the Soviet bloc but for the superhuman resistance put up by the Finnish
Army. Like Russia, Finland too received aid from Hitler at one point,
for which the Finns do not apologize since the Allies backed Stalin's
conquest of Finland. The Karelian dialect is now quickly becoming extinct.
One of the goals of this site is to bring this to your attention and
reverse this trend of language extinction. This will depend upon the
development of true democracy rather than communism or fascism in Russia.
There is increased sympathy lately to the injustice of Russia's illegal
annexation of Karelia, coming from not only the decendents of the Karelians,
but voices from Russians themselves who want to see the wrongs of the
past corrected.
Today, the "Holy Grail" that many Finns are after, is the return of Karelia.
Perhaps the Finnish president should have jumped on the subject hard when
Gorbachev was in power. Vladimir Putin is a sneaky shifty-eyed KGB that Russia's
neighbors mistrust as much as any Soviet era leader. He reaffirms the old
Soviet line that the Soviet Union did not occupy the Baltic states of Lithuania,
Latvia, and Estonia; Soviet forces were invited there. All this is pure rubbish
when examined against the facts. Until Russia gets a leader that rejects
Soviet era lies, this will remain a problem in Russian-Finnish relations
in the foreseeable future, as the basis of a relationship is honesty that
builds trust. Putin has strongly stated that the subject of Karelia will
not be on the table, and talking about it is dangerous to Finland's health.
However, Putin is trying to figure out how Finland could be drawn into its
sphere of influence, which Finland wants no part of. The price of friendship might be high
- like return of Karelia. Maybe the problem is that the Russians have sent
a former KGB officer to do the work. We know how many people trust the KGB.
Finnish Society underwent a profound transition in the last part of the
second millennium, and continues in the new one. On the 1st of January 1995, Finland
joined the European Union (EU, former EEC
or EC), losing some of her autonomy in the process. Finland is participating in the Economic and Monetary Union
(EMU); the currency (markka, abbr. mk or FIM)
is now replaced by Euro (with a ratio of 5.94571 FIM = 1 euro). (There
are so many songs in Finland with Markka in it. Will they have to change
the words? "Ei ole mulla Euroja taskussa...") In February 2000, Tarja Halonen
became the first woman president of Finland. She is active in charting
a "humane" (if that is possible!) path for globalization, women's rights
and human rights. She is a walking contradiction, for her values are at odds
with Finnish tradition. She is a pacifist yet the head of Finland's armed
forces. She is head of the Church of Finland, yet doesn't go to church,
being a secular humanist, socialist and globalist. Globalism, defined
as increased movement of money, culture and commerce, is already making
a significant impact in Finland. However it remains to be seen how
much Finnish culture is exported in relation to cultural imports from especially
America.
EU apparently has a lot of say in immigration
to Finland. This is one subject that most Finns feel strongly about although
they can't openly express their concerns, and anyone who does may be fined if the subject is Islam. The effects of immigration could
be predicted: loss of tradition in schools and military - Christian worship
in institutions. The reason: immigration from Islamic countries. The unemployment
numbers among many of these immigrants is very high. Could there be riots
in Finland one day? Possibly, but a crime wave has hit Scandinavia, and it is not from natives. Allowing radicalism to thrive (as in Canada) in the name of diversity and mulitculuralism or any other completely political idiocy, with flagrant disregard for the people's wishes, is plain wrong. But this ideology is sweeping the world. Therefore, until the present immigrants become
employed, there should be a cap on immigration from those countries. Finnish Immigration Policies why Islam is especially important to discuss is that the public is getting a highly white-washed version of this political religion. Tom Wallace
Many Finns are just beginning to find out exactly what it means to be in this
union, and some are having second thoughts about losing their hard fought for and won,
independence. Once again, Finland and the Finnish language is in a minority position in a
larger union. The Finns are generally very enthusiastic about this relationship, but not
all news is positive about the EU affects on the Finnish people, especially farmers.
The future of Finnish culture and language is daily becoming increasingly fragile. Not
only is Finland engulfed in EU, but the people embrace western culture to a great extent,
and in their enthusiasm to do so, have suffered linguistic and cultural decrement recently
to powerful, magnetic Americanism that is readily available through all media sources. The
Finnish language is unique, musical and beautiful and should always be appreciated or it
may, in the near future, be lost. It has already been radically adultrated by English
words. The average Finn spends 3 hours per day watching television. No wonder they are
picking up these words so quickly. Perhaps there are some changes to be made... The
January 2003 programming for TV2: 9 American films, 4 Finnish films and 3 other. Finland
faces West, even past its EU brothers.
Finland has a national knack for mobile communications and
information technology and a vision for combining the two. Finland has the world's highest
per capita cellular phone and Internet users. In fact, as of January 1999, there were more
cellular phones in Finland than regular, and Nokia is now the largest cellular
communications company in the world. I hope Nokia invents a safer cellular phone that won't fry the brain with microwaves.They even use telecommunications to do access services such as washing cars. Finns as seen
by others throughout history - the first description is not of Finns but Lapps. Finland : A Rising Nationality, by Peter Kropotkin - 1885 observations
about Finland and Finnish people. "Never having been a personal serf, he is not
servile; he always maintains his personal dignity and speaks with the same grave
intonation and self-respect to a Russian Tsar as to his neighbour. A lymphatic
temperament, slowness of movement and of thought, and sullen indifference have often been
imputed to him."Alexis Kivi was a very important writer at a time when Finland was beginning to
assert its own nationhood after seven hundred years in the Swedish realm and a hundred
years associated with Russia. His most famous book is Seven Brothers. Story From Seven Brothers (in a sauna)
