League of Nations December 14, 1939 “The Winter War began when the Soviet Union ruled by dictator Josef Stalin attacked Finland on November 30, 1939, three months after the invasion of Poland by Germany that started World War II. Because the attack was judged as illegal, the Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations on December 14.” (Winter-War, 1939)
LEAGUE OF NATIONS EXPULSION OF THE USSR, DECEMBER 14, 1939
The Council, Having taken cognizance of the resolution adopted by the Assembly on December 14, 1939, regarding the appeal of the Finnish Government, Associates itself with the condemnation by the Assembly of the action of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics against the Finnish State, and for the reasons set forth in the resolution of the Assembly, in virtue of Article 16, paragraph 4, of the Covenant, finds that, by its act, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has placed itself outside the League of Nations. It follows that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is no longer a Member of the League.” (Historical-Resource, 1939)
There were many war crimes committed by Stalin from 1939 to 1940. War against peace, and genocide against the Polish National in 1940. Yet, the Allied forces were supplying Stalin with military hardware, tens of thousands of planes, tens of thousands of trucks and jeeps, and hundreds of tons of food and clothing supplies. The allied forces did it all for an extreme war criminal; they supported a war criminal while the war criminal was once again waging aggressive war against Finland in 1944.
The Allied forces were self-serving in their short-sighted imperial bigotry. It took several years before the Allied forces woke up to the spiritual reality of the Bolsheviks USSR leadership corruption. They did not believe the facts that the Nordic and the Baltic States shared with the Americans about the reality of the Bolsheviks USSR spirit of anarchy, 1900 to 1941 history. In recent times the head of Stalinism lawlessness has raised its head. The Western Nation leaders have complained about the lack of moral integrity in the Russian leadership, and it was the Western support and aid that made it possible for Stalinism to grow and flourish from 1917 to 1945. The western leaders were short-sighted and naive; they did not understand the deceiving nature of the Nemesis.
They trusted the Bolshevik representatives of the Nemesis as some kind of truth base worldview to build an empire upon. It was an anti-God atheism establishment from the deceiver of humanity. It rejected absolute moral values and downplayed the need for integrity. The cold facts of rebellion, lawlessness, and disrespect of moral virtues lead to a downward spiral morally. Making violence in the process against the Spirit of the Natural Law.
The aggression and the spirit of anarchy were written all over the wall of truth from 1900 to 1953. The Nemesis dragon, true to its evil nature, creating deceit, chaos, and destruction, soon started biting the western hand that had been feeding it, during the time leading up to the cold war. First, it was the Russian Tsar and the Romanov family that became the victim of the Russian lawlessness and anarchy; it was a war against the Spirit behind the rule of law.
The same spirit of the Nemesis, with the spirit of rebellion, lawlessness, and anarchy, was behind building the iron curtain and the Berlin wall at the beginning of the cold war. The methods do matter how a society develops a better spirit for all. It is not achieved by volunteering to do the work of the Nemesis, to steal, kill, and destroy. The Nemesis demon helpers do offer many lucrative temptations to win over many volunteers.
BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
The building up of the Soviet Union military from 1941 to the 1960s was made possible by the Allies’ victory over Germany and Japan in 1945; the Soviet Union military bounced back with a vengeance. It became the sole superpower rival to the United States.
Then came the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States; the posturing and saber-rattling between the two Super Powers led to further military buildups, the nuclear arms, and the Space Race. By the early 1980s, not surprisingly, the Soviet military had more troops, more tanks, and more artillery guns and nuclear weapons than any other nation on earth.
And they still felt threatened by their small neighbors, like Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, and Japan.”…………………………….
This article is from the New Bloggers Guide To arctic Finland Book Release. (7.7.2019).
“Arctic Sea road from the city of Rovaniemi was 531 kilometers long, all the way to two ports of the Arctic Sea. The Port of Liinahamari and the Port of Petsamo. On this route, trucks handled Finland’s foreign trade for more than a year when the Baltic Sea trade route was blocked due to the war. The drivers involved in a huge transport contract tell their stories in the radio program along the Arctic Sea Road.
Finland was in a difficult situation in the spring of 1940. There was a winter war that had been lost to the Soviet Union, and there was a shortage of food from all over the country. The traditional Baltic trade route was closed due to the war that had migrated to Central Europe, and no much-needed supplies were received in Finland.
Fortunately, Finland had access to the Arctic Sea port of Petsamo and Liinahamar in the far north of Lapland. Europe’s second deepest port was still open to the Atlantic. The only problem with the Liinahamari Port was that it was located more than 500 kilometers away from the city of Rovaniemi, the nearest railway link.
The Finland government quickly realized the seriousness of the 1939 domino effect events and understood the seriousness of the national situation, and in April 1940 an Advisory Board was established to consider the issue of Arctic Sea route to the port of Petsamo. It was decided to establish a state-owned transport company Oy Pohjolan Liikenne Ab (Northern Transportation), which would take care of the transportation of imports and exports from the Arctic Sea port. Military General Paavo Talvela was the first choice to get the project completed, he was known for his strong grip on a situation, and was placed to lead the company management team.”……………….
“Before the Winter War, the port of Liinahamari had practically served only fishermen, so much needed construction and renovation work had to be carried out there to start a large freight transportation exercise. The first large cargo ship that arrived at the port was SS Greta, which had transported weapons from Spain, arrived in Liinahamar on April 14, 1940. Finnish soldiers unloaded the cargo and transported it by cars of the armed forces to Rovaniemi, just like all other cargoes in the early stages. The lack of storage facilities in Liinahamar caused major problems and began to be built at a rapid pace. Building, harbor and automobile enthusiasts needed accommodation, and the barracks were built around the daytime of almost one building. Resting places, canteens, and car repair shops were also set up along the route, as there were always 1,400 men on the route, with as many as 4,000 when the conditions got really bad with road surface pits and heavy snowstorms.
After the first ship unloading, Finnish exports started to flow again. Up to 99% of Finland’s exports were products of the wood processing industry, but according to Mikko Uola’s Petsamo 1939–1944, the wider world also went to the markets. Arabian porcelain products, Karhula glass products, Artek furniture, and Valio cheese. Swedish merchandise also passed through the Arctic Seaport, and also returned with some heavy USA military equipment that was transported on truck platforms to the city of Rovaniemi, and to further Kantalahti railway station.”
Each year, many people in the western world make New Year plans and New Year’s resolutions. Some of the most common goals set include getting out of debt and losing weight, but there are alternative views and approaches as well.
This one year the New Year’s resolution is on driving? Here are some ideas and goals to consider for 2019:
To drive less
Towards the close of 2018, gas prices may either rise or decline. For most western world societies, there are growing concerns and worries on the cost of fuel. Even if the decrease in gas prices is causing many to return to their cars and their previous excessive driving habits, but continued low gas prices aren’t guaranteed. The best way to ensure you save money on gasoline is to drive less and make it a habit. In addition to less money spent on gas, driving less also reduces vehicle wear and tear.
When it comes to driving less, many western world people automatically think it isn’t possible. In most cases, it is. If you consider the many creative options that are out there. Remote locations may make it more difficult per trip distance, creative alternatives are always present. But it takes a creative mind to discover them.
If you are unable to carpool or take public transportation to and from work, examine your other activities. Do you make a special trip each week to get groceries? If so, consider the possibility of shopping on the other trips to town, or from work. By tracking your driving habits for one or two weeks, you may be surprised how many ways you can reduce the miles driven.
To get the car serviced regularly
Many car owners avoid getting their car repaired regularly due to costs. Yes, it is essential to save money, but did you know that you can waste even more money by not getting your vehicle needed attention? You can. Be sure to have your oil changed, have your tires changed or rotated, and replace your air filters. Doing so will not only save you money, but it results in a safer and better-valued car.
If money prevents you from getting your car serviced regularly, look for good deals. Always call around to local repair shops to compare prices. Also, use the internet to find money-saving discounts. It is not uncommon to find printable coupons or money saving coupon codes. And, always remember that a regularly serviced car is likely to save you more money in the long run.
To buy a well cared for newer car
Are you driving around an old “bomb,” car? If so, you may want to make a change. What better time than the New Year? If you wish to buy a new car or a well cared for used car, set the goal for yourself. With today’s economy, it seems as if you must have perfect credit to get a loan. If you do not and have reliable transportation right now, save money. Use that money to buy a car or use that money to clean up your credit so you qualify for an auto loan with a low-interest rate.
To drive safer
Although we all try to be safe when driving, it is no secret that some are careful than others. Do you talk on your cell phone, eat, or play with the radio when driving? These are small tasks, but very risky when driving. Make it your New Year’s resolution to improve your driving. Whether it be focusing only on driving or leaving five minutes early so you aren’t in a rush, do it.
To lower car insurance
If you have been with the same insurance provider for years, you may be paying too much for car insurance. The only way you will know is if you price compare. Make it your New Year’s resolution to lower your car insurance. Even if you can’t find a lower rate elsewhere, improve your driving, pay your car insurance in full, or opt for automatic payment withdrawals, as you should be rewarded with a discount.
Thank you for visiting www.christmasinlapland.eu website and reading this New Years Resolutions and Driving 2019 article post.
Taking up physical activities such as walking, bike riding, skiing, snowmobile riding can also save the expense of using a car for the short trips to friends place and the local shops. It is all about providing the time and space for the creative mind to provide real practical solutions to a motor transport alternative. For more related articles visit http://fennoscandia.net
People remove their children from public school and move to private schools for a lot of reasons. For one thing, the contract you have with a private school is in every way different than your relationship with the public school. Because you pick your private school, the schools in your area are in competition for your “business.” That means they work for you and they are responsible for living up to their promises to you when you pay them to give your child an education.
This phase of the process, when you are interviewing various private schools is when you have the chance to stipulate precisely what part of the education of your child you are prepared to hand over to the school and what parts you do not want them fooling around with. For most parents, we are looking to send the child to school to learn about history, English, science, math, foreign language art, composition and other academic subjects that they need to conquer to be a success in college and eventually in life.
Lack of Moral Values
Unfortunately, public schools also take it upon themselves to educate children in what might be considered moral, ethical or even religious areas of life. And for many parents, this is meddling and imposing values on their children that the school has no right to impose and that is outside their authorization to do so. No other subject better illustrates this principle than sex education.
Sex education in schools is a topic of considerable controversy. And it will continue to be controversial because it is something most parents do not want to see the schools getting involved with and something most schools very much want to have as part of their curriculum. The grey area comes in the realm of physical education. Lessons on hygiene, anatomy and how the human body works are a natural part of the science or physical education curriculum. So you might be able to understand if part of that education is to go over how the human sex organs work from a scientific point of view.
Even at this basic level, though, parents often feel they should be consulted on what they want their children to know. The age-old image of dad sitting on the porch and explaining the birds and the bees to his son is time-honored and revered in families, and we are as a society not comfortable with handing that job over to some stranger whose values we know nothing about.
But sex education in schools doesn’t usually end with a necessary discussion of the medical of physical properties of the body. Many schools have a more advanced curriculum that covers the sex act, how pregnancy works, venereal disease and “recreational” sex activities as well in some cases. And some of the more aggressive programs actually provide condoms to the children “just in case.”
You may become alarmed at any or all of this level of instruction if it is to be considered part of a public school’s educational program. The problem is because our contract with public schools gives no control to parents.
You only have the choice of being quiet and let them teach what they will or remove your child to move to a private school who is more prepared to regard the parent’s wishes in regards to sex education or any other areas of moral, ethical or religious education that they wish to carry out at home.
If these kinds of programs at the public school level are what has alarmed you and began your transition to become a private school family, you are not alone. And maybe if enough families go this route, the public schools will get the message that parents have rights in these matters and those rights must be respected.
Sometimes for parents who see their children come home from public school angry and antagonistic to school work and learning, we naturally assume that it is against the nature of a child to want to learn anything. But if you think back to the years before you sent your little one off to school, the opposite was the case. As an infant, your child was a virtually learning machine, and he or she seemed to live and breathe learning new things. That natural curiosity and desire to find out more about the world was as profoundly a part of your little one’s being as the desire for food and love.
So what happened?
Does the love of learning die out when a child passes out of infancy? Actually, if you watch your young child or teenager closely, the love of learning is still there. But what has happened is because public schools destroy the zeal for learning at an academic level, children channel their enthusiasm for learning into venues that understand the mind of youth better than schools do it seems. That is why video games and television are so successful. It isn’t that these tools of communication succeed just because the things they talk about are fun. They thrive because they nurture and encourage a love of exploration and learning in ways the public schools long ago forgot (or never knew) how to do.
There is a tragic paradox to public school.
The puzzle is that they are charged with the highest calling in a society which is to educate our youth. When we turn our children over to them, they have a tremendous opportunity to capture that zeal for learning and take it year by year forward, so the child never ceases being fascinated by knowledge and the love of gaining more of it.
But sadly, almost without exception, public schools squander this golden opportunity to take young minds brimming with the thrill of learning and take them further and further never damaging the precious enthusiasm they have for knowing new things. Instead, within a short time after starting public school, your child will lose his or her love of learning and become angry, bitter and resentful of the school and of you for sending him there.
Education Institutional Factories
Part of the reason for this failure comes from the fact that public schools by law must handle a massive amount of children. So to maintain order, excellent crowd control and discipline systems are put in place. Somewhere along the way, schools abandon their core principle which is to teach young minds and to nurture their love of knowledge, and they exchange that for order, discipline and the ability to follow the rules.
Children are not stupid.
They can see that the institution is not at all interested in academics and is all about order and keeping everybody marching in a line and they turn against the school. But then the schools even rob the classroom of time to subject children to an hour after hour of “ethical training” in anti-drug, anti-sex and anti-discrimination assemblies and lesson plans.
Somewhere along the way, someone saw that schools represent an unsupervised concentration of children who had time that could be monopolized to preach an ethical lesson to them. By unsupervised we mean that the parents aren’t there to object. So large segments of the school day are wasted on teaching the children to be good citizens, moral people and to have “self-esteem” which has only become damaged because the schools destroyed the children’s love of learning in the first place.
Whether or not public schools can see how badly they have failed in their prime reason for existing or not isn’t your problem as a parent. Your challenge is to find a place that can rekindle the love of learning in your child and begin to move him or her along toward academic excellence, so your little one knows the joy of knowledge and the thrill of excelling at learning again. The deep desire of parents to make this type of education available to their kids is the reason for the explosion of the private school movement in the last few decades. And is a movement that may become a wholesale revolution if public schools continue to destroy the minds and souls of the children they are supposed to be teaching.
There is one thing that is a bit strange about the process we, go through to pick the right school for our children. Parents often develop a very systematic evaluation system for selecting a school which weighs the academic resources of the school, the abilities of the teachers, the school’s physical plant and how classes are organized. Often the schools “mission statement” is taken into account on the theory that if the school was founded on certain fundamental principles, you should see those principles in action at the school.
But even after we go through that systematic process, we have left out one big factor which how your child will feel about the prospect of going to this new school. After all, even if the new school looks great on paper and passes all of your requirements, you are not the one who will have to live at that school spending almost as much time there as at home. So if your child isn’t happy with the new school, no matter how high their computer lab is or how qualified the math teacher is, there is a chance of failure.
The Power of Free Choice
Probably the one thing you can do to help your child make the adjustment to the new school is to give her a vote in the choosing of the new school. The odds are that you are looking at changing schools for a reason, particularly if you are moving your child from public to private school. So if there are negatives at the old school, your child knows about them. Discuss the option of changing schools and weigh that significant change against staying in the current school system and putting up with the faults there.
But keep the door open to the possibility and make the search for a better school a family project. Let the student in the family who will be most concerned look at the checklist of questions and the selection criteria for the new school and make additions and changes. By giving the child ownership in the selection process, he or she will be much more excited about making a move when the time comes.
School Quality Test
You can go on the initial interview at the schools yourself so you can take your time and ask the “adult” questions before your child gets involved. But after you narrow down the choices by weeding out the schools that you say “no way” to, bring your son or daughter on the second visit. Your child can ask more questions and to visit classrooms and meet teachers which will give your child the chance to visualize life at that school. This engages the youth in the process so he or she is excited about the adventure of the significant change rather than feel that you are forcing that change without regard for his or her feelings.
One of the biggest concerns your son or daughter will have will be about leaving friends behind and going to a school where they don’t know anybody. By starting early and visiting the school often, your son or daughter can identify some people in the school that they do so they are not entirely isolated when they get there. And when they see that private schools have some very creative and often much better-funded clubs and special activity groups to get involved with outside of class, that excitement can really begin to grow.
Transition to a new school is hard. But by letting your kid be part of the process and even having him or her sit in on a day of classes, the anxiety of that change will go down. And when the excitement of the difference goes up, you will have made a big step forward in assuring this change of schools experiment will be a big success.
We like to think of public education of our children as a pure science that is populated by people who are above the common worries of life and live only for the joy of filling young minds with truth. But like anything else, schools do well or poorly drive mainly by money. Now one of the justifications for government funding of schools is you take out of the educational process any graft or influence peddling by private interests. In theory, if corporate interests or even wealthy individuals can influence the schools because of wealth, they could also dictate the curriculum and the “slant” the lessons might take and as such put a spin on the truth because the schools become dependent on the funding source.
So, again, in theory, our public schools should be above funding issues because tax dollars should pay for everything so no one political or cultural influence can set the agenda of what is to be taught in school. But that concept only holds up in theory, of course. If you spend any time in association with public or private schools, you know that money and education are intimately intermingled, and there is plenty of influence going on all the time.
Sport is a Driving Force in Education
At the public level, sports is one of the big factors that drive public education, particularly at the high school level. In big cities, the high school sports teams are often feeder schools to colleges who have a vital financial interest in recruiting the best high school players. So money flows from professional sports to the colleges and even to high schools to influence schools to pour a lot of time and money into their sports programs. The intense rivalry and interest in high school sports in your town reflects that emphasis.
So what’s the problem with loving sports? Nothing except that very often large high schools will divert vast percentages of their budgets to the sports program that only serves a fraction of the students of the school and those funds are taken away from academic and arts programs which suffer as a result. So while a hundred boys might benefit from a well-run football program, thousands of students suffer from smaller classes, inferior classroom equipment, and underpaid teachers because the sports teams get all the attention and the money.
Money and Influence
At the private level, money buys influence even more blatantly. While your tuition and fees to pay the necessary bills of the school, private schools are entrepreneurial and ambitious.
Well, off wealthy parents who can put a lot of money into the school naturally find their way to the school board to make decisions about curriculum and the direction the school will take as an educational institution in the future.
This means that well-meaning parents who are not wealthy are not able to help the school stay focused on their primary calling which is to bring the highest level of education to the student body. The situation can also be aggravated at both the public and private school level when corporate interests get involved, and you see corporate sponsorships of school programs resulting in subtle advertising occurring all around the campus. It sends a message to the students that the school can and has been bought, and those corporate interests can have an influence over curriculum as well.
As parents, it’s your job to monitor the extent to which funding changes the quality of education of a school. At the public school level, you can voice your concern at school board meetings or in other public venues. But the ultimate proactive way to get an education for your child that is not tainted by financial influence is to leave the public school setting and seek a private school that has not to succumb to those temptations yet. If you fund such a school, get involved heavily and do all you can via fundraising to try to minimize the influence of wealthy individuals and corporations so the school that is there to serve your child can do so without the burden of power from the ones that pay the bills.
“The state of nature existed for the early inhabitants of the land between the Gulf of Finland and the Bothnian Sea, and along the shore of the Lake Ladoga, freshwater lakes, moss bogs, creeks, and rivers all the way north to the White Sea. Some individual people were in tune with their inner intuitive spiritual being, living amongst the precious resources of the natural environment and the starlit night skies. We cannot even begin to imagine the interactions that a human spirit—the mind and soul— go through when its life is entirely dependent on the provisions that the natural environment provides. People that lived their lives surrounded by the natural living environment, interacting with the life that was so rich everywhere during the spring, summer and autumn season that is what shaped their spirits and personalities. God-given natural life demonstrated through the natural environment; they were the recipients of that life, and they knew it.” ……
THE GOOD NEWS
“It was through Sweden that the Good News Gospel came to Finland after the first millennium.
The First Swedish Crusade is said to have taken place with a military expedition, around the year 1150 AD. It was the first attempt by Sweden to convert Finnish pagan cultural to Christianity. According to the legend, it was by King Eric IX of Sweden with an English bishop by the name of Henry of Uppsala, who also remained in Finland, but was killed by a pagan Finn. (Bishop of Finland)
The Second crusades from Sweden according to Eric’s Chronicle from 1320-1340, the crusade took place between Birger Jarl getting elevated to the position of jarl in 1248 and the death of King Eric XI of Sweden in 1250.
The Third Crusade was far-reaching in East Finland region Karelia. The Viborg Castle established in the Gulf of Finland Bay Viborg Karelia, and western Karelia remained under Swedish rule for over 400 years. It was an expedition focused on the pagan Karelians in 1293.” ….
THE BIG FIVE
“The five biggest culprits in the last 500-year history of Europe that caused the large-scale destructive wars have been Britain, France, Russia, Germany, and Sweden. Those nations were extraordinarily ambitious and hungry to win the race, in colonizing the world and beat other efforts.
Small state countries and the indigenous people usually keep to themselves and get going with the toil of life and would instead prefer to be left alone, than to be manipulated and invaded by the Imperialists. However, that is often far from reality; the large imperial nations manipulate the small ones to join the Allied forces to outdo the other imperialists, they get sucked into the Imperialists wars. Instead, (the Imperialists) they should have more genuine faith in God. And obey the Creator of life, Elohim Torah (instructions).
What is the driver of the Imperialistic ambitions to gain more power than they have a need? To exploit the ordinary people of the land. Compared to the life and teaching of Yeshua Hamashiach, the Imperialists are extremely power hungry and avaricious. Therefore, the small nations of the world should join forces and boycott the five large imperialists states and hold them accountable for their manipulative history that ratchets up tensions, conflicts, and wars. The small countries became collateral damage in the imperial conflicts.
The core problem of the Imperialists is that they do not respect the natural human rights to life, liberty, and property. The Imperialists always have agendas that preceded the natural human rights. That is the cause of wars. State of nature is a state of liberty; human beings are free and equal beings, no man-made hierarchy can take away life, liberty or property.” ……….
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
“Looking back at the events, the 1917 Russian revolution can be compared to the April 26, 1986, Chernobyl disaster, which was a catastrophic nuclear accident. Those people that romanticize the Russian revolution are irresponsible, and out of touch with the intelligent human purpose design. They are mostly lefties, like those in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
What is there romantic about the Chernobyl disaster, that was a catastrophic nuclear accident? People that romanticize the Chernobyl nuclear accident do not think laterally of the people who live in Nordic countries and East Europe when the radioactive contamination from the Chernobyl accident was scattered. There were Russian, Ukraine and the international spread of radioactive substances, much of it deposited in mountainous regions such as the Alps, the Welsh mountains and the Scottish Highlands, where adiabatic cooling caused radioactive rainfall.
“Approximately 100,000 km² of land was significantly contaminated with fallout, with the worst hit regions being in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. Slighter levels of contamination were detected over all of Europe except for the Iberian Peninsula”. (Wikipedia E., Chernobyl disaster, 1986)”
