Horse heads and pistol emojis May 25, 2025

By /

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.

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/svensk-eu-parlamentariker-polisanmald-for-misshandel

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 🙏

    Saw it just now too.

    The so-called “carousel”, as a punishment in the 🇷🇺Russian army for those who refuse to go into the meat grinder.

    Not linking. Probably criminal to do so.

    Russian troops trying to hide from Ukrainian drone attacks are being exposed by their camouflage equipment, as reported by The Telegraph on May 25.

    The Russian military has provided soldiers with specialized coats and thermal blankets designed to protect them from being detected by night vision and infrared sensors. However, instead of keeping them safe, this gear is actually making them more visible on the battlefield.

    “These are not invisibility cloaks,” said Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former British Army colonel and expert in chemical weapons. “In fact, due to the contrast, it makes them more detectable rather than less.”

    Avoiding contrast is essential in camouflage, regardless of whether the goal is to avoid being seen, and it doesn’t matter if it involves IR, thermal, or regular eyes.

    In Ryssland’s Belgorod region, a train was blown up by a bomb planted under the tracks in Novooskolsky district. Rail traffic is suspended, according to local officials.

      Thank you! 👍
      Two days now with over 200, a pretty clear increase compared to before even though we were at those levels a couple of weeks ago as well. We’ll see how long it will stay there this time and if it will rise even more.

    Good morning!
    I got a little busy this morning, otherwise I would have posted a separate thread for the Ukraine war, but let’s continue in the same thread this time.

    Russian losses in Ukraine 2025-05-25:

    • 1020 KWIA
    • 2 Tanks
    • 11 APVs
    • 68 Artillery systems
    • 1 MLRS
    • 190 UAVS
    • 6 Cruise missiles
    • 112 Vehicles & Fuel tanks
    • 7 Special equipment

    SLAVA UKRAINI!

      The tank battle yesterday was apparently brief. But maybe that’s characteristic of tank battles – that they are powerful but short-lived?

    “In Tver Oblast, ryska luftförsvaret misstog sina egna flygplan för en stor ukrainsk kamikaze-drönare och öppnade eld. Detta är inte det första sådana incidenten: liknande vänskapseld inträffade nyligen i Moskva-regionen.”

  14. MXT

    Ukrainian Air Defence shot down:
    ▪️266/298 Russian drones, including 139 UAVs shot down by air defence and 126 suppressed by EW;
    ▪️45/55 Kalibr/Kh-101 missiles;
    ▪️0/4 Kh-59/69 missiles, but 2 didn’t reach target;
    ▪️0/9 Iskander-M/KN-23 missiles;
    ▪️0/1 Kh-22 missile.

      Good boom weed control – up again after losing grip on them for a period quite recently. Some weed types look difficult to control, the question is whether it is in places where Patriot or the German equivalent is missing?

      1. MXT

        I think even Tom, Patrion, etc. may have problems with some of them. Also, I worry about the availability of ammunition, it may be that there are not enough robots.

    2. 205

      Second night in a row. At the same time, it can be noted that there is increased pressure on the front (sharply rising and over 200 attacks today and yesterday).

      1. MXT

        Yes, it feels like an escalation on several fronts.
        Saw a post that I can’t find now, but where it said that they are now also sending Shaheds to the fronts, if that’s true, one can assume that they are also using them for prevention now.

    “The timing for the USA to put pressure on Russia to come to the negotiating table may be better than ever, according to several high-ranking officials and military experts speaking to the Washington Post.

    Over the past year, Russia has only expanded its territory in Ukraine by 0.6 percent, while 1,500 soldiers are killed or injured every day. But despite Putin’s current weaker grip on the war, Donald Trump is backing away from applying pressure with sanctions against Russia and military support to Ukraine, writes WP.”

    North Korea has arrested three shipyard employees following a serious accident during the launch of a new warship earlier this week, Reuters reports, citing state media. The 5,000-ton ship is reported to have capsized and been damaged in front of Kim Jong-Un, who called the accident a national humiliation and promised to punish those responsible. One of those now arrested is the chief engineer at the Chongjin shipyard.

    As fun as can be, will walk around with a smirk all day.

    “Ukraine: The night’s attack was the largest so far in the war

    At least twelve civilians have been killed in Ukraine after Russian missile attacks on several cities, several news agencies report. Among the dead were three children in Zhytomyr. According to Ukrainian authorities, Russia fired 367 drones and missiles in the largest air strike in the war so far.

    President Volodymyr Zelensky urges the USA, which under Donald Trump adopted a milder tone towards Russia, to increase pressure.”

  22. MXT

    “It’s reported Putin’s helicopter was caught in the epicenter of repelling an UAV attack in Kursk region on May 20, per air defense commander Dashkin. It occurred during the dictator’s visit. Will Putin award Putin a medal for bravery in his so-called “SVO”?”

    What is this – big IG to the thread that no one has picked up on the fact that 10 Russian government planes left Moscow yesterday.

    Posted it in yesterday’s thread, bluesky and substack so not exactly hidden.

    Two options –
    -last time this happened was vodka run

    – RU intends to escalate the war and the leadership is moved to the bunkers.

    I am now in the process of changing the language plugin on the website. Therefore, there may be some minor disruptions, especially with the language links.

    If there are any issues, try refreshing the page!

  32. MXT

    I am slowly batch-translating old posts, but it takes time. Can’t do too much at once.
    Then, when that’s done, it’s time for all the old comments, probably won’t be finished today.

  33. MXT

    There is a video that I do not share, where a Russian soldier abuses another Russian soldier and then drags him around after a car. Some people really seem to be totally disturbed in the head.
