Congressional Democrats are going to haul him in for questioning over his election interference allegations, treasonous activities and shady business dealings. He’s fucked and he knows it.
I’m hoping they seize his assets, nationalize his companies and then lock him up for an indefinite period of time before denaturalizing and deporting him back to Johannesburg.

Ihmetteletkö, miksi Ylen uutiskynnys ei ylity Adlercreutzin verinastaskandaalin uusimpien paljastusten kohdalla?
Hiljaisuudella on tapana selittyä, kun katsoo, ketkä pitävät lankoja käsissään.
Ylen nykyisen toimitusjohtajan Marit af Björkestenin, joka on muuten Anders Adlercreutzin serkun vaimo, valitsi tehtäväänsä hallitus, jossa nuijaa heilutti Matti Apunen rinnallaan RKP:n entinen puheenjohtaja Stefan Wallin.
Polut risteävät muutenkin. Apunen johti aiemmin Elinkeinoelämän valtuuskuntaa (EVA), jonka hallituksen puheenjohtajana istui toinen RKP:n ex-puheenjohtaja, Carl Haglund.
Wallin puolestaan johtaa mahtavan Åbo Akademin säätiön hallitusta ja kantaa kyseisen yliopiston kunniatohtorin arvoa.
Näyttämö on siis valmis seuraavaa näytöstä varten: kunhan Taru Tujunen saa Apusen vaalikirjan painosta, Åbo Akademi voi viimein vihkiä Apusen kunniatohtorikseen, tutut säätiöt avata rahahanojaan vaalikampanjalle ja Yle hoitaa oman osuutensa julkaisemalla sarjan kritiikittömiä, ylistäviä henkilökuvia.
Matti Apusen kohtalona on tulla mieheksi, joka voisi pelastaa kokoomuksen ja Suomen talouden, mutta vain, jos Adlercreutzien verinastat saavat virrata Venäjän sotakoneeseen ilman ikävää, kapeakatseista ja kateellista julkisuutta.
Ei pilata tätä kalkkiviivoilla, eihän?

The next Democratic President should cancel Elon Musk’s government contracts and bring Starlink under government control if they have any intention of repairing Washington’s standing in Europe.

That South African spent third of a Billion in Texas. He moved his core businesses to Texas because he thought politicians there would stay in his pocket. And he lost everything - from Railway Comissioner to Agricultural Secretary to Senator to Governor. Rolled snake eyes.

It’s impossible not to notice how dramatically Finland has grown in importance in global politics and diplomacy over the past few years.
It’s an example of what happens when genuine competence is combined with the right values, the courage to stand on the right side, and the consistency to stick to one’s principles.

Jääkiekkoliitto polvistui venäjän edessä.
Hienoa symbolisesti tuomita venäjän murhareissut Ukrainaan,
mutta teot kertovat enemmän kuin tuhat sanaa.

Luuleevatko vastavaikuttajat, että ihmiset alkaavat pitää eläkemaksuja jotenkin vapaaehtoisina ja maksajille kuuluvana rahana, koska "eläkeyhtiöt ovat yksityisiä"?
Me maksamme nyt eläkkeellä olevien eläkkeitä, emme sijoita. Se on veroluontoinen vakuutus.
Joku maksaa vuorollaan meidän eläkkeet. Ehkä.

Eläkemaksut ml. työnantajan maksamana ovat yksiselitteisesti veroa kuten myös sosiaali-ja työttömyysturvamaksut. Ne on pakko maksaa ja niitä ei voi itse hallinnoida.

Huvittavaa, että tuossa kuvassa ei ole mukana Suomella työmarkkinaeläkkeitä, koska "nehän ovat yksityisiä eläkeyhtiöitä". 🤔
Tuohon kun lisätään noin 25% työeläkemaksut, niin ollaan taas kirkkaasti kärjessä.
Replying to @ville_valkonen
Puhuin veroasteesta ml työeläkkeet, en julkisen sektorin koost suhteessa BKT:hen.
Esittämäsi tilasto ei kerro oikeastaan mistään, eikä kumoa mitään sanomaani, koska siinä mitataan kahta toisistaan etäistä asiaa. Yksityisen sektorin menot ovat nimittäin 180% BKT:sta.

Jos eläkejärjestelmää vertaisi hedelmäpeliin, niin boomerit tyhjensivät aiemmilla vuosikymmenillä pajatson 🎰 matalilla eläkemaksuilla, ja nykyisillä työssäkäyvillä on 24,4 % kivireki kannettavanaan.
Hakkaamme koneen nappia, mutta se antaa takaisin vain hiluja. (2,3 %)

Not going to comment on the latest foreigner drama in Ukraine(if you know, you know), but I will say this- don't develop parasocial relations w/ creators. Donate money to verified Ukrainian orgs first, lobby your political representatives, and get others to do the same.

I believe that one of the reasons the nominally "pro-Ukraine" Westoids are upset with The Kyiv Independent is that this has been their usual MO: appropriate the work of Ukrainians on the ground, build a name for themselves, and feel good about themselves.
Ukrainians, apparently, were too busy surviving and fighting Russia's criminal invasion to pay attention to this kind of exploitation. Or perhaps they believed they had to keep silent so as not to offend the benevolent Westoids.
The Kyiv Independent is standing up for itself. Not only is it protecting its own work, but it is also shedding light on the grift.
I'd say it's long overdue.
It is really not that hard to grasp. Someone took another person’s work, removed the logo and credits, and presented it as his own - not for the first time. Now there is a copyright strike. Funny how accountability suddenly becomes controversial when it finally catches up with someone.
The Kyiv Independent has been reporting on this war since day one, without turning it into a personal branding exercise. It has absolutely nothing to apologize for.
Caolan is an influencer/blogger, not a journalist. There is a difference, and this whole affair is a pretty good illustration of it. I hope The Kyiv Independent stands its ground.
And the only people who owe anyone an apology are those threatening The Kyiv Independent. The irony of people presenting themselves as Ukraine’s “supporters” attacking a media outlet that has been covering the war from the beginning is apparently lost on them. Some solidarity. Some support.
Since a few Kyiv Independent readers have asked, I’d like to explain what happened with Caolan Robertson’s video, out of respect for our supporters.
Our team found that a video on Caolan’s @CaolanReports YouTube channel included a fragment of an earlier Kyiv Independent video, used without permission and without a request for permission. It wasn’t just footage. It was an animated map that takes our team a lot of work to produce.
Importantly, Caolan’s video cropped out our logo from the fragment. Instead of crediting our work, it fully removed the attribution to the Kyiv Independent. That isn’t citation or fair use.
Our team member did what is standard when your content is used this way on YouTube: They filed a copyright report. YouTube reviewed the case and removed the video. We follow the same process whenever our work is used without permission, regardless of who the creator is.
Worth noting that a removal like this doesn’t kill the creator’s work: The video can simply be re-uploaded without the copyrighted material.
So I was surprised that Caolan instead chose to publicly attack the journalists whose work he lifted, and to appeal to journalistic solidarity in a case where he didn’t demonstrate any.
Our team has been reporting on the ground in Ukraine since before the full-scale invasion. We’re independent, funded mostly by our readers, and we earn every dime. We’re very proud of our work, from front-line reporting to war crimes investigations. We respect the work of other journalists and expect the same for ours.
I wish Caolan all the best in telling his audience about Ukraine. If he ever wants to use our work, he’s welcome to ask, like anyone else.
We are all on the same side when it comes to this: We want as many voices as possible telling the world about Ukraine. But being on the same side means respecting and crediting each other’s work. Credit matters because the reporting everyone draws on has to come from somewhere.
Thank you.

This is not the first time that @CaolanReports disrespects the work of Ukrainian journalists by using their content without permission. And then tries to make them feel guilty for demanding to respect their work and copyright.
