The news comes from a Nordic country considered to be one of the safest in the world and where Islam has not reached out to young people with its claws and brainwash them.

So, even if what occurred in the Finnish city of Imatra was an awful, regrettable incident, it is also somewhat helpful toward fighting political campaigns based on hatred of the unknown and the community of immigrants, given that this incident goes to show that basically anyone can be affected by mental afflictions, which might drive them to commit such gruesome acts against other citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs.

The victims were city mayor Tiina Wilén Jäppinen and two local journalists, although the police, who still do not know the motive behind the crime, suspect that they were chosen at random. When the police arrived at the scene, witnesses identified the 23 year old man as the perpetrator of the triple murder and he was arrested without any resistance or attempts to flee the scene. “He behaved very calmly and said nothing”, added the police chief. According to the police, no one else was injured during the shooting.

The gun was registered legally but did not belong to the alleged assailant, although the police still do not want to give more details at the moment on the identity of its owner or the way the suspect got hold of it. The suspect has not yet been interrogated but, according to the police sources, he has no criminal records or known links with any violent group, so they are ruling out any political motives.

The truth is that Donald Trump simply felt like picking up the phone and holding cheerful, informal, lighthearted talks with many foreign leaders from other countries who called to congratulate him on his victory of the US presidential election. Some sources claim that Donald Trump himself has picked up the phone and called back many other political leaders after initially not being available to receive their calls. Perhaps among the most controversial phone calls that Trump has made so far were to Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, and to Taiwan’s president Tsai Ing Wen, although the “motives” for this are yet not entirely clear. It simply might be that Trump wants to get on the right foot on his international and diplomatic relationships with many of the countries with which the US has long been distanced or relations have been tense.

In any case, some Pakistani sources have disclosed that Trump referred to Sharif as a “terrific” guy, who made him feel as if they had known each other for years. He also allegedly qualified the Pakistani people as among the smartest people on the planet and, when invited to Pakistan by Sharif, Trump supposedly answered that he would “love to go to that fantastic country of fantastic people.” It has also been publicly known that China’s reaction to Trump having maintained a phone conversation with Tsai Ing Wen was not very positive.

Recently, protests at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, in North Dakota, against the installation of an oil pipeline have sparked much criticism against the administration of US President Barack Obama, and had raised much concern among organizations pro human rights, such as UNESCO, Amnesty International, United Nations and others. Many US military veterans have joined activists in North Dakota and are now protesting against the multibillion dollar project to build a massive subterranean oil pipeline that is supposed to cross the nation from West to East. The activists have been demonstrating in subzero temperatures and have been tortured by showering cold water on them by high pressure hoses and water cannons installed on riot control vehicles and fire trucks.

Standing Rock Indian Reservation is a territory that was designated by the US Government to be given to the Native American nations, where they would be allowed to rule themselves, with their own police forces. As such, some Federal Laws do not apply within these territories and state police has no jurisdiction over them either. Standing Rock has its own constitution and its governing body consists of a Tribal Council elected by its people. The US government is violating the agreement and terms of the contract with the Native American nations by forcing the installation of a pipeline underneath Standing Rock’s soil.

Currently, there are many Native American communities camping at the site, who have been joined by many political, environmental and human rights activists. One of the first Native nations to have reacted and publicly spoken against the installation of the oil pipeline was The Sioux, later joined by other Native Americans. Their main concern is that the building of the oil pipeline will run over sacred burial sites, and also contaminate Standing Rock’s water supply.

Fidel Castro gained international popularity back in the 50s when he led a group of Cuban insurgents to depose the then Cuban president Batista, who was an extreme right wing party leader and was an important ally to the US. This guerrilla campaign led by Castro failed and he was imprisoned, although he was later pardoned and released to Mexico, where he met Che Guevara. After years and long efforts to bring about a revolution in Cuba, they succeeded, eventually, Batista’s government subsided, he fled the country and Castro became the new de facto leader, for nearly 70 years. There is no doubt that Castro became a dictator himself too, holding power and impeding democracy for more than half a century.

According to the declassified archives of the CIA, there were nearly 600 assassination attempts on Castro’s life by the US government; none of them successful. In any case, Donald Trump resembles Castro in the way that he delivers his speeches, which appeal to half the population he addresses and enrages the other half. Trump can be seen as a charismatic leader despite the controversial slurs he makes use of, aimed at staining the reputation of immigrants in the US. In the same way, Castro used his charisma to encourage people to reject “foreign values” such as non-Latin American art, homosexuality, capitalism, imperialism, casinos and gambling activities and games, such as Blackjack and many others that were banned in Cuba.

One of the biggest trials covered by the media (nicknamed the “trial of the Century” in the Nineties) in the history of the U.S. has recently been brought to the screen thanks to the series “American Crime Story”, produced by the FX TV network, starring Cuba Gooding Jr., John Travolta, Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, among others. The first season, titled “The People v. O. J. Simpson”, recapitulates the murder trial of football star O. J. Simpson, known as “Orange Juice” or simply “The Juice”, which took place between 1994 and 1995 and drew more media coverage than any other trial in the history of America.

The series was based on Jeffrey Toobin’s book “The Run of His Life: The People v. O. J. Simpson.” The producers of the series thought this murder trial, officially “People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson”, would be a great way to explore American media and how issues such as race, gender and social class affect and play on public perception.

For example, 21 years ago, during the trial, many people from the black community took to the streets to publicly support “the Juice”, only on the basis that the Los Angeles Police Department, which made the arrest and collected evidence against OJ, had a bad reputation due to many incidents where police officers in the force had been known and proven to be racists. Another part of the black community, however, rejected OJ due to his status as a Hollywood celebrity, and the fact that he lived in an affluent neighborhood and most of his friends were white. This is one of the reasons why the trial is such a sensitive topic even to this day. OJ was also a gambling aficionado and he was arrested in Las Vegas in 2007, following a gambling spree.

New generations of “Peter Pans” are more and more common, however, and people in European countries like the UK, Nordic countries, and Germany, still behave as if they were teenagers. According to the study conducted in the UK, more than 3/4 of people over 30 say that they act or feel about 12 years younger than they actually are. Back in the day, like in the 70s and 80s, people in their 30s already had a family; women and men, with more than one or two children and their own house and a stable income. Another trend that seems to be on the rise is that people get married much later than 20 or 30 years ago and that people also wait much longer to become parents.

Nowadays, it is not strange to see people in their 30s still trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives. Psychologists have referred to this as the Peter Pan syndrome, seen, for example, in public figures such as Michael Jackson. He publicly declared that he did not want to grow up and that he owned a collection of arcade video games, toys, and fantasy merchandise.

Particularly, there were two moments caught on tape and reproduced all over social media, which have caused great concern among organizations for human rights and public outrage in media and elsewhere. One of them was when the leading spokesperson for the organization, used words such as “Hail Trump” and “vicious creatures” to refer to members of ethnicity or communities other than white European.

Perhaps, one of the most chilling moments of the footage is when it can be clearly seen where some members of the audience enthusiastically doing the Nazi salute with total impunity, to the cheering of others around them. This is a rather violent image to see these days, given the serious implications and connotations such a salute has, being detrimental to human rights, for carrying a message that evokes the many atrocities and crimes against humanity committed by the Third Reich and then Nazi Party a little over half a century ago.

Perhaps, it is not fair to associate US President Elect Donald J. Trump with such extremists, but the truth is that reviewing his speeches can certainly instill fear in citizens of the world, given the certain resemblance they bear to that of dictators, demagogue and populists observed to have held positions of power throughout history. One of the main points of comparison where one could affirm that Donald Trump, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Fidel Castro have things in common is the systematic fabrication or manipulation of information.

Countless tributes to the victims have been paid all over the world and messages of condolence from every corner of the world kept pouring into Brazil, the soccer club, and families of the victims. The flight recorders and black box of the CP 2933 jet have been recovered almost unscathed and the cause of the failure which caused the plane to go down has not been determined yet. Some experts speculated that there was an electrical problem which caused the engines to shut down while others say that the plane simply ran out of fuel.

There were only 5 survivors out of about 80 people on the flight and one of them is a crew member, Erwin Tumiri. Surprisingly, Erwin survived the plane crash with only minor injuries. Tumiri seems to think that the reason for his survival is that he followed the safety procedures indicated in case of an emergency landing. He curled up in fetal position, with his hands above his head and the bags between his legs. He said that basically, most people on the plane stood up and shouted when it started to go down. The jet crashed in the mount of Cerro Gordo, near Medellin, Colombia. Medellin is renowned for being the site where tango singer Carlos Gardel and his musicians, crew members etc. crashed some 80-90 years ago.
