Finland: Rank Amateurism and Hubris Replaces Realpolitik as Finnish Gay Politician is Proposed as Mediator in Afghanistan…….

Finland and the UN

have a great plan

(Pekka Haavisto and Nexar Flores at the presidential ball)

Sending in the big gun

There are a couple of different angles to this buffoonish YLE story. First of all, believing that there are “moderates” within the religous supremacist, homophobic and wife beating camp of the Taliban, to negotiate a peace with, is, well, deranged thinking. And secondly, sending an openly gay politician to negotiate on behalf of the West, in a region where boys are routinely sodomized and openly gay men are butchered like sheep, is so ridiculous on so many levels that I don’t know where to begin.

Discussing about the stupidity of the situation with Vlad Tepes, the dinner scene from the movie “The Remains of the Day” came up in between laughs, which offers a unique window into the amateurish thinking of the day, prior to the outbreak of WWII. It’s the tundra Tabloids’ opinion that in some great measure, such rank amateurism has returned once again to the scene. Watch the video and then read the article below it, and decide for yourselves.

Pekka Haavisto Proposed as Mediator in Afghanistan

Defence Minister Jyri Häkämies has proposed former EU Sudan special representative Pekka Haavisto as a mediator in the Afghan conflict. Speaking at the opening of a defence course, Häkämies said mediation in the conflict should be carried out under EU auspices.

Häkämies said a mediator should be able to talk with all sides in the country including moderate Taliban leaders. He believes Haavisto has this qualification.

Haavisto has, for example, served as the EU’s special representatives in the Darfur peace talks as well as in several U.N. missions. He is also a Green League MP.

“Someone is needed in Afghanistan who would be able to talk with not only various segments of the population, but also with moderate members of the Taliban. This would create conditions for stable development. There is now a need for stronger action by the EU and Finland should be active and propose solutions,” said Defence Minister Häkämies.

Defence Minister Häkämies expects that in the future, Finland will contribute more to the training of Afghan forces by offering training in Finland. According to Häkämies, the emphasis is shifting from military conflict management to civil crisis management. In Afghanistan, he said, this will require significant development of the country’s own security forces.

moderate members of the Taliban

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAAAAAHHHAAA

Moderate? It's like drawing a sketch for a blind trying to explain what is a shadow.

All in all, that is the most hilarious piece of news I've seen since Yle freelance cameraman was robbered by a "youth" in rioting suburbans in Sweden two days ago.

Maybe our politicians have found out the old rules of the Roman Empire and provide us a poor man's version of a circus – jokes. Halal we already have in McDonald's.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
