Horse heads and pistol emojis May 25, 2025

I’m probably quite boringly non-criminal really since I early on took the position that a steady salary over time is better than doubling it in two years, getting fired for corruption, and then having difficulty finding a new job as blacklisted – I have seen quite a few such journeys over the years and since I work in a niche industry where maybe there are +300 internationally who know this, a bad reputation spreads like wildfire.

I have also learned over time the hard way not to stick my nose in other people’s business because then it leads to big fights and it often ends with leaving the job even if you are completely right. That’s what whistleblowers in Sweden always discover – most recently at the land survey. There is nothing that can make people angrier than when you are about to crash their lucrative side business and also tarnish their reputation from head to toe so they become unemployable – then they strike back from the most unexpected directions.

I’ve been in the Caribbean since winter and the country I’m in has a better reputation than it deserves. When I was in Nigeria, we lived on the Island, ate like gods, lived safely, and worked for one of the billionaires – I have met my first billionaire by the way, which I may have mentioned fifteen times already and can cross it off the list. He was just as unpleasant as one might guess billionaires are. During that stay, I was in a country with a terrible reputation but lived like a Gothic prince, and here it’s the opposite – you constantly expect something better and are constantly disappointed, and on top of that, everything is priced like in London.

We thought we’d have some fun for a change so we emptied the piggy bank and went jet skiing last weekend. When my wife stood on the pier and watched her husband with horror as he maxed out a bit further away with a little son fluttering behind holding onto his fingertips – then a jet skier crashed straight into the dock at full speed, and I mean full speed.

Fifty local talents came to the rescue immediately, but no one cared about the guy bleeding in the water, or the jet ski in a hundred pieces, instead everyone screamed in panic “where is the package, where is the package,” while the jet skier slowly sank to the white sandy bottom among small glittering fish in the crystal-clear water.

So when we sat down to eat at the yacht club with our last pennies, at least 3-4 yachts cast off and sailed out, I think you can rent them for a fun weekend – before each departure, a jet ski would pull up to their dock roughly every fifteen minutes.

Since I did military service, I have learned surveillance and know exactly how to observe without being seen, we were experts at that in the armored troops 🧐

Furthermore

Last weekend, as you may recall, I deposited the rent to the Sicilians after receiving my salary – it ended with me going to their bank with 2500 USD in hand, which is what the company pays me and I then have to give directly to the boss (2.5 times the market rent…) – only he was on vacation this time.

A monthly salary here is about 400 USD, so 6 times a Swedish median salary in cash for comparison. I didn’t even need to show ID, the money went straight into the account, I also asked if there were any limits on how much one can deposit but only got a surprised look in response.

I received a small receipt without a name but with the last four digits of the account number, so I had to WhatsApp the mafia leader that it was okay with such sparse information, one preferably didn’t want to get caught saying “I haven’t received any money when will it come,” and a pistol emoji – got a thumbs up in response and a picture of a severed horse head so we left after the mission accomplished and went for a well-deserved lunch.

I also think yachts come down from the USA to these yacht clubs, there were some Americans strolling around the docks.

Back to the Sicilians, I oversee a port construction for them so they can bring in (their) larger ships and transport cement. The business plan is to enter the US market and they intend to take over Texas but through Louisiana, I think it was – something about it being much cheaper with imports to use their ports and then truck it over to Texas. It didn’t sound entirely logical but then again, I’m not a world leader in logistics either.

Some might think Sicilians – a country halfway between Colombia and the USA – own export port – legal import to the USA but to a poorer state and then make a guess that they will hide something in the cement.

So now, in addition to everything else on my CV, I can perhaps add that I am building infrastructure for the cartels to increase drug trafficking to the USA, I never thought my career would take me there when I stood there as a newly graduated engineer with my grades in hand and felt that the bright future was mine one early summer many years ago 😀

Now we have another big scandal in Sweden after a deceased diplomat and arrested Ministry for Foreign Affairs official with a gag order – a drop-kicking EU parliamentarian and scratching apolitical officials.

It is very important never to judge prematurely, everyone serious understands that, you are innocent until proven guilty.

That’s the guiding principle on johanno1.se for example, which has made us world-leading 🙏

SVT has handled it nicely although I think the first news flashes were a bit unclear and one could misinterpret who the perpetrator was if they didn’t read down to the last paragraph.

Opinion makers were quickly out with screenshots and harsh words, someone Daniel Sw#din rhetorically asks “what should one believe about the issue of guilt when the person who is reported to the police leaves Brussels in a hurry, hmm.”

I think this is a bit petty – why not start with honey traps and cameras in hotel rooms. I think one could clean up quite well in the opponent’s camp in just a few months.

Meeting for money is illegal today so here is an innovative idea for the “troll armies” – politician Z/official Y pretends to be genuinely interested in politician X in question. After a little casual dating, they meet and during the evening, Z/Y takes a fifty bill from X’s wallet while X takes a quick shower.

A video is released from a burner account on Flashback. Z/Y then goes big in all available media channels stating that they were paid, which is not illegal at all, and wants to go public with it because they hate such things and it must be rooted out – voila, a crime committed and the politician takes a very long time-out, and as an extra bonus, there’s a divorce.

As you surely understand, this is a small jab at the rather unethical mudslinging that our two political factions engage in today – it is actually beyond criticism and everyone should follow johanno1.se as a strongly shining guiding star and not charge 🙏
