Saturday and alternative post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I receive an incredible amount of fan mail, bags of them, and the inbox is overflowing with tributes from giants like Nelson Mandela and Crown Princess Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there have been complaints about the advertising campaign on johanno1.se as well, difficult to read them because the ads effectively cover the entire page now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, I must address the female admirers and Janne who send perfumed underwear – I have now received a response from RFSL and it is unfair and must, if so, come together with two-day boxer shorts so I ask you to stop it, for me equality is very important (and I’m not keen on two-day boxer shorts) \ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A question was asked about what I intellectually gain from doing this, a good question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We pay for a page ourselves and spend an extremely large amount of time putting posts together, and if you like the post, maybe you click the like button if you feel like it, if you don’t like it, you write a long reply about why everything is crap, or it turns into an alternative theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highlight was probably when Omfall A was posted – you can probably guess the time that went into that post \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it’s definitely a thousand times better than the crap on that other blog where individuals were allowed to destroy, insult, belittle, and harass for over two years just because it brought traffic to the site – cynical and inhumane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then we have the pro-Russian group that has now found its way to the pleasant little reserve of Substack where they sneak in with a comment and then start to disrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels like I would have more in my wallet and a more enjoyable life if I stopped writing – probably, and a happier wife who thinks this takes way too much time but is happy if I am happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In February 2022, I immediately identified this as the prelude to our current global conflict, you know, one of those global conflicts that hit extremely unfairly, where if you were, for example, 19 years old and (the inequality \ud83d\ude21) in Germany in 1938, the likelihood of experiencing 1945 was quite small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or not to mention if you happened to have Jewish ethnicity and misjudged how diabolical people can become in a short time just because they are given free rein, so you stayed with your family in Europe. Convincing the family as a father that everything would work out for the better has rarely gone more wrong in world history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was also struck by how wrong the media ended up in their reporting and how often I was right in my assumptions, which I was not infrequently alone in – I remember being satisfied with Lysychansk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then all the pushback when suspicions were aired about what was happening in the shadows from the West and always got a “they are the professionals and you are nothing” or “absolutely not, you will see.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The feeling when the interviews or articles on-record, or Zelensky’s statements later confirmed what one suspected has been very rewarding, you probably sensed the euphoria when you read those triumphant posts \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2025, I no longer have my ear so close to the ground and am boiling the soup on fewer nails, so the bull’s-eye frequency is lower, but I have to live with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As long as one praised Ukraine in everything, everyone except the pro-Russians were happy, but at some point about a year or longer ago, I decided to try to report the actual situation and extrapolate (a bit more…) realistically. Can’t remember exactly when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has been a bit more headwind \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also initially thought that I would probably write for a maximum of two years and then it would end happily, but Europe has shown to have an infinite supply of misconceptions in stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t have the time, I don’t get paid, there is more criticism and pushback than positive feedback, the overall situation is completely heading in the wrong direction – it’s hard to see the upside of the effort actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe that one motivator is to challenge established truths and number two is to try to have an honest argumentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sweden is very good at established truths and there are many established “no-go zones” that are completely wrong and defended by a dishonest shady bunch who have an interest in it, often money behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honest argumentation is something few engage in, fewer than I thought when I started with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is this easy – if you start sniffing around established truths, you get a collective ton of bricks over you, and it’s extremely easy to get stuck in being forgiving towards the side you identify with and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I have time, I like to take a topic or established truth, break it down, find other angles, and then it turns into a discussion that goes off in unexpected directions – it’s rewarding. Unfortunately, there isn’t time for all topics, so the distribution is automatically not fair at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To conclude this enormous tribute to myself with extra b\u00e9arnaise sauce, it also gives something to try to enlighten about the journey we have made since February 2022 to almost reaching a full-fledged global conflict by doing nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now we also have the whole history since 2022 and can immediately expose bluffs and out dishonest debaters trying to set the agenda without knowing their stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If one is to be picky, employees are guided by their tasks and also come and go to new workplaces where they cannot spend 90% of the paid working time on something else like I have managed to do for over three years – having had continuity since February 2022 and followed every event, every inch of land, and argued about everything far too much is probably good knowledge so we’ll continue for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That being said – you will receive a reminder at the end of each month to donate a sum on the site because costs need to be reduced for us, and it is quite clear that the ads must disappear when the evaluation period is over in 10 days – the idea was that it would solve the problem, but now we don’t see the problem because everything is covered in a thick blanket of ads \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back to the world after giving myself an A+ in everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gaza conflict is the most infected and extremely polarizing on Earth, and Russia is behind it in the shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am occasionally accused of being too forgiving towards Israel, which I am not – they have been too harsh, and I write about that in between, and on October 7th, I analyzed this completely correctly – Israel would have an absolute hell with fighting in the city and it would take time. What I don’t do, however, is participate in the chorus of complaints in the way one must but try to write completely soberly on the subject – and then you get crap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But shame on those who give up – now we have reached the point where this will soon be permanently resolved, and it is the first time since 1948.<\/p>\n\n\n
The UK handled it poorly at the time and Russia got involved in the conflict immediately, and there are hardliners on all sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, those who have suffered the most are the Palestinian civilians without a doubt, yes one can refer to the laws of war but for how long then \u2013 how many residential areas can be bulldozed, how many civilians can be displaced, and how many can be allowed to die?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My own view on this is that it has gone too far now, or the line was crossed quite some time ago when Israel lost control amidst the maze of small streets and alleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UNRWA and the UN have completely lost their way \u2013 Hamas has in recent years actually built its infrastructure and weapons stockpiles, which they bought with contributions from our countries, inside or beneath UNRWA’s own facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hezbollah tunnels were located right next to UN military posts in Lebanon \u2013 does anyone really believe that the soldiers wouldn’t see or hear a tunnel being dug?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UNRWA chose to coexist with Hamas can only be the conclusion, or worse than that because more than once UNRWA employees have been exposed for \u2013 fighting for Hamas, having hostages at home, being couriers, or having weapons stockpiles at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But now it finally happened \u2013 the Arab League has demanded that Hamas be completely dismantled (disappear) and that they should take over Gaza, the heavyweights in the Arab League have had enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EU supports this, and so does the Palestinian Authority, which means that it is now supported by all those who have clean hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems like the MENA countries will pay for the reconstruction \u2013 surprisingly decent of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will also take care of security in Gaza and Israel must stay completely out of it \u2013 and by that they mean completely out, not a bunch of Shin Bet agents lurking in the shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MENA recognizes Israel as a country as a quid pro quo and they will probably try to seek Israel’s help in stabilizing Syria and making the MENA region a better place because Israel has a lot of civilian know-how that they could use for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You won’t find a better solution \u2013 the MENA countries themselves will solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stand 100% behind this and we can now put this behind us, soon \u2013 I almost let out one of those sighs of relief when I read the proposal and felt that all the pieces had fallen into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like when you come home from work and discover that apparently there was another beer in the fridge since yesterday \u2013 that feeling if you understand \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also keep an eye on those who have participated in the debate and oppose this proposal \u2013 then they either haven’t had clean hands or have been serving Russia’s interests \ud83e\uddd0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
