Is Finland Harbouring Chechen “Extremists?”

______________________________

Finnish prosecutors revealed that the Finnish Foreign Ministry and the US State Department fund KavkazCenter, a Chechen extremist website, during a probe into the activities of the site’s owner, Mikael Storsjö. Recently, a court in Helsinki handed down a four-month suspended sentence to Storsjo for aiding Chechen terrorists to enter Finland illegally. Last year, the cops arrested Storsjö on charges of assisting illegal immigrants. Later, the court acquitted him, as it claimed that this was an act of humanity, as he was helping migrants who were at risk in Russia. Moreover, Storsjö accepted no money for his assistance. This year, prosecutors managed to prove that he aided more than 20 people to flee Russia. They included relatives of Chechen warlords Shamil Basayev, Doku Umarov, and a certain Matsiyev, who was allegedly involved in the Beslan school siege.

According to Finnish political analyst Erkki Johan Bäckman, the Finnish Foreign Ministry and the US State Department sponsored the site, saying, “Finland’s supporting and funding terrorist underground networks, the course of the Storsjö investigation exposed that. We analysed all the relevant documents; we saw who these migrants really were. With tacit backing from Minister for International Development Heidi Anneli Hautala, Storsjo illegally brought hundreds of people, some them criminals, to Finland. His website is more than just a web page… it’s the mouthpiece of terrorist leader Doku Umarov”.

Moscow needs to provide evidence of the crimes it believes these alleged terrorists have committed to be able to extradite them, and if it wants tougher punishment for Storsjö. Finland keeps declining Moscow’s extradition requests. Aleksandr Mikhailov, a member of the Council for External and Defence Policy, said, “This particular case echoes England’s refusals to extradite Ahmed Zakayev and Boris Berezovsky to Russia. Finland’s acting in line with its national laws, and can only press charges if it has evidence of these people’s wrongdoings. The mere fact that they’re living in their country and conducting public and cultural activities isn’t a reason to bring charges against them. There’s nothing Russia can do about that”. Lithuania shut down the KavkazCenter website at Russia’s request, and many other countries named it an illegal site, including Finland, which, however, hasn’t stopped a Finnish businessman from sponsoring it.

Look at this (this is the actual English translation posted on the website):

KGB Russian Orthodox Popes Suggest Putin Becomes a Lifetime Monarch and Approve KGB Anti-Dissent Terror

According to terrorist and extremist media in Putin’s Russia, on 3 October, a ringleader pope from the gang of “Moscow Patriarchate‘s synodal commission for interaction between the church and society”, Chaplin, said, “Russia must establish a monarchy”. Chaplin also said to citizens, flock of priests, and agents and informers of the KGB that nothing should disturb the “socio-political life” in Putin’s Russia, which “should be maximum quiet and smooth”. For this purpose, according to the pope, revolutionary/counter-revolutionary terror is needed. “Our society needs a moral (i.e. anti-dissent: KC) revolution, or counter-revolution… as you want (terror, not name is important for KGB popes: KC)”, said the priest. Previously, pope Chaplin said that his state “Russian Orthodox Church” approves “castling in tandem” and considers Putin’s return to power as “a genuine example of morality in politics”.

Editor’s Note:

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO! This is unmitigated horseshit… it’s just like the ignoranuses in Stokoe’s comboxes, isn’t it? Trust me, you’ve got to read Stokoe’s comboxes for the sheer entertainment value… the comments there are quite as ungrounded and simple as the above post is, especially those by David Constantine Wright, Rebecca Matovic, Francis Frost, and an anonymous coward who defends the Renovationist crowd about Jillions. Click on this and this… they’re Fr Vsevolod’s take on internet anonymity. By the way, here’s a link to what Fr Vsevolod actually said about Putin’s return to the presidency (of course, I translated it earlier; it was REAL news, Virginia).

It takes ALL kinds! Pass the jug and smile… isn’t it ironic… the konvertsy are most similar to Basayev’s crowd, in the end. Who woulda thunk it?

Mother in Beslan mourning for her daughter killed in the siege…

______________________________

At 17.00 MSK (14.00 UTC 09.00 EDT 06.00 PDT), on 3 September 2004, in Beslan (Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Northern Caucasian Federal District), Russian OMON “Black Beret” MVD troops stormed School Number One where 34 to 50 terrorists were holding about 1,100 people (777 children) hostage. The soldiers killed 31 of the bandits, captured 1, and up to 17 may have escaped the cordon around the school building. Ten of the soldiers (including all three commanding officers of the units involved) died in the fighting; the terrorists killed 335 hostages (including 186 children). The terrorists were from Shamil Basayev’s bandit band (which was CIA-financed, at the least)… in an ill-fated attempt to shatter the Russian Federation, America tried to cause trouble in the Caucasus (by backing local terrorists as they had backed the Afghan mujaheddin and Bosnian/Kosovar rebels) in the ‘90s (Madeleine Albright admitted as much)… the Beslan Hostage Crisis was its direct and bitter fruit.

We’re Orthodox Christians… we’re COMMANDED to remember. We’re NOT juvenile and addled “Evangelical” spouters of therapeutese (such as Benjamin Peterson and George Washburn)… we don’t “move on”. We ask God for the strength to endure our trials and for the wisdom to learn from them. We’re like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who survived the GULag (and wrote some of the most moving books of the 20th century… we’re like the communists, who learned, yes, there IS a God (and they defended the churches in the Ukraine with all their might against American-financed mobs)… we’re like the millions of VOV vets who carried on with ordinary life after the Great Victory was won. Like them, we’ll endure, we’ll learn, and we’ll make the future better. We won’t follow demented Pied Pipers like Doctor Phil, “Doctor” James Dobson, Pat Robertson, and Chuck Noll. Sectarians (AKA “Evangelicals”) with their “moving on” have nothing to teach Real Christians.

Pray for the dead of Beslan tomorrow. Ask your priest to pray for them at Liturgy on Sunday. REMEMBER THEM. It’s your duty as an Orthodox Christian… NEVER forget that!
