Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.
Display:
Retrieving digital files dated > 30 years and, more recently—post-911 rash of subscriber circulation coupled to G7 message hygiene policies— articles archived by the "Wayback Machine" innerboob crawler is an old hat hack for some, not I.

I've only noticed two associated URLs after a month of casual (post, get) trial 'n' error: archive.is and archive.org. *.org failed both tests, and this very morning, *.org not only refused certain HTTP requests, that server responded with a HTTP 505 "suspicious activity" error message. May be or not traced to persistent Chrome client cookie data. (I might or might not look into that. I'm not the cumpulsive sort given to circumventing slide-rule "Big Data" knowledge management with proxy DNS or VPN. I'm the sort who still drinks unfiltered tap water so I know with whom I'm dealing.)

Conversely, *.is delivered Bloomberg "Hints at Russian Involvement in Swedish Koran Burning" (28.01.23). Hold that thought. YLE media finished months of unmet demands for not 4, 33, or 73 but 120 trrrst extraditions from SE, HISTORIC neutrality, biomass carbon sinks, and free press indemnity with "Court finds two HS journalists guilty of disclosing state secrets. This week, YLE media is already struggling to translate Erdoğan hints into the cost of two-speed, dues-paying NATO membership believed to secure Finland's national security messaging system.

ICYMI, Daily Sabah quotes Erdoğan's cryptic statement in part, in *-Eng.

"We may deliver Finland a different message (on their NATO application) and Sweden would be shocked when they see our message. But Finland should not make the same mistake Sweden did," Erdoğan said in a televised speech aired on Sunday [29.01.23].

He also repeated his demand for Sweden to hand over suspects sought by Ankara. "If you absolutely want to join NATO, you will return these terrorists to us," Erdoğan said. "We gave Sweden a list of 120 persons and told them to extradite those terrorists in their country. If you don't extradite them, then sorry about that," Erdoğan added.

I for one will be immensely entertained should Erdoğan reveal a list of fugitives who've since uhh migrated from SE to FI. To further f* with the charade of invoilate NATO by-laws, benefits, and procedures is after all his style.

Trolling through the intimate details of your digital laundry, I find that you discovered the Russian connection of the Swedish koran-burning. Through the wayback machine.

Do you also get the weather report from the same source?

Disapponting that Erdogan should fall for such an obvious manipulation.

Paludan torched a Koran in SE last April around the time HU and TR first objected to NATO package applications. The latest flaming Koran demo in SE had been appeared for a Japanese minute in G7 media nearly a week ago—without much notice of protest in "mostly muslim" countries, I might add.

The Bloomberg headline implying Russian bribes was recently cited in an "offshore" publication. This was news to me with uncanny sympathy for "Qatargate" paranoia that has seized the EP this month.

I resorted to  Wayback archive in order to read the full text Bloomberg article the same day. I am not a subscriber. Sometimes, I use icognito, when an cited article date is unknown to me. Sometimes, I don't need to, because Bloomberg syndicated some of its material, and I can read an edited-to-fit version—same headline—published same day by comparatively small circ outlets like yahoo!, US News, and even Arab News.

In any event, the subject of my comment is Wayback DOS. The subtext of my comment is ICT censorship.

Finnish SIGINT and support for NATO espionage on Russia

Finnish Defence Intelligence (DNI) Agency

According to a 2014 interview with Chief of Intelligence, then Brigadier General Harri Ohra-aho, the merger enabled a more comprehensive intelligence overview and enhanced analytical cooperation. The Agency's main elements are situated in Helsinki and Jyväskylä with separate elements around Finland. According to a news report, it employed 150-200 persons and its budget was 15 million euros in 2014.  The preceding SIGINT and IMINT arm of the military, the Finnish Intelligence Research Establishment (Finnish: Viestikoelaitos, Swedish: Signalprovanstalten) operated principally as a part of Finnish Air Force Headquarters at Tikkakoski, near Jyväskylä. The facility received its orders from Defence Command and employed 120-140 personnel according to a 2007 news report. It was renamed the Finnish Intelligence Research Centre (Finnish: Viestikoekeskus, Swedish: Signalsprovancentret) when it became a subunit of the Agency.

According to a 2017 exposé by the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, the Finnish Intelligence Research Centre is responsible for monitoring the Russian Armed Forces by capturing and analysing electromagnetic radiation and maintaining an electronic intelligence mapping that contains information on the Russian military, such as unit types, command and control structures, air defences, readiness plans and missions. During peacetime, the Centre monitors at least the Leningrad Military District while only a fraction of its monitoring is focused on the Western world.

The Centre reports its findings first to the Intelligence Division and finally to the President, Prime Minister, Defence Minister and high command of the Defence Forces. The newspaper released examples of the Intelligence Research Centre's analysis topics, such as Russian synthetic-aperture radars from 2005, security-related effects of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, electronic countermeasures against Buk missiles, and Russian military action during the Russo-Georgian War of 2008.

Ministry of Justice, Finland -- Act on the Openness of Government Activities -- TOP SECRET

Europe's future cannot be based on permanent confrontation. However, Finland must be prepared for various alternative development paths and be flexible and fast in its own operations. This also means increasing defense and internal security costs.

Finland should bring global security challenges to the center in cooperation with Russia. In global challenges, the scale rises above edge battles and zero-sum games. Global challenges include the state of the environment, the effects of immigration, different forms of cross-border crime, and the structural change of societies due to digitalization. Cooperation in the fight against the most fundamental global challenge, i.e. climate change, must be highlighted and practical research and technological cooperation must be sought.

HRW | Ukraine: Banned Landmines Harm Civilians, 31 Jan
Remnants of KPFM-1S-SK cassettes manufactured in 1988 that Human Rights Watch researchers found in Izium in October 2022. These cassettes are used for the delivery of PFM mines by the 9M27K3 Uragan mine-laying rocket. The cassette opens in flight using a small explosive charge to separate it from the rocket motor section of the weapon and scatters 312 PFM mines into an area.  © 2022 Human Rights Watch

Update: Human Rights Watch welcomes Ukraine's commitment to duly study the below report on antipersonnel landmines, as announced in a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on January 31. We hope that the government will carry out a prompt, thorough, and impartial investigation into our findings. We welcome further dialogue with the Ukrainian authorities on this issue. ...
