Ceasefire in Gaza made me really uplifted, good for the Palestinians and a big blow to Russia’s global escalation plans.
Now Hamas is probably weighing whether to continue terrorizing the residents of Gaza or not, but at least the hostages have been released – it’s moving in the right direction.
One would probably leave it at that with a positive thought, but opportunities like this don’t come often, so there will be a whole post about this for the historical archive.
In a number of posts, we have described Russian subversive activities and tried to link back to the Cold War when it was a priority and more than +80% of the KGB budget went to it. The return was simply enormous, and they invested more and more in this over time.
An extra bonus was, of course, that the involved security services enriched themselves through drug trafficking, crime, arms smuggling, extortion, and trafficking.
Today in 2025, it seems that everyone is engaging in some form of this, FSB, GRU, and SVR – probably because it is so lucrative that no one wants to miss out.
You have recently followed how Russia influenced the elections in Moldova and Romania through bribes, fraud, their own candidates, threats, and sabotage.
They also trained a militia in the Balkans that was supposed to become violent just in time for the elections, but both Romania and Moldova acted resolutely.
But it is highly controversial to start banning political parties and candidates that are popular to participate a month before the election – it’s a gray area, but they have been forced into it because of Russia.
It is now generally accepted that Russia influenced the US elections in both 2016 and now in 2025, right?
Yet there seems to be doubt whether Russia has tried to influence decommissioned nuclear power, decommissioned defense forces, banned weapons, general anti-USA sentiment, or pro-Palestine. Then you are a conspiracy theorist.
But sometimes we simply get lucky – the Sumud fleet that was supposed to rescue Gaza arrived at the same time as the peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine yielded results and the curtain was drawn back for a few seconds.
Personally, I am very pleased with the peace agreement because the conflict has been going on for too long, we are past October 7th, and the situation is deeply unfair for the residents of Gaza. October 7, 2023, was a Russian operation and part of their global escalation.
The day after speeches were given by participants who had returned home demanding an end to the genocide and for Israel to leave, Hamas agreed to the terms of peace and there was a ceasefire, which was the first step in a twenty-point plan.
What do you think the reaction was from those who demanded peace, I will elaborate below 😀
On October 7, 2023, there were spontaneous street parties in various parts of Sweden celebrating Hamas’ success beyond expectations.
Right before the ceasefire, there were several large Palestinian demonstrations in the West, in the UK they arrested 500 people, for example. This was the week before the happy news.
So, during the weekend of October 11-12, we could see whether the Palestinian movement wanted a ceasefire and peace agreement or if they wanted something else by observing their behavior.
If they wanted a ceasefire, they should have celebrated as they did on October 7th and demonstrated as they did the week before.
Unfortunately, there are too many who do not want to believe that Russia has nurtured a whole movement that jumps between different issues, preferably Palestine, disarmament, and shutting down our production in the name of the environment.
By the way, the reason why the Soviet Union and Russia always try to persuade students to make a revolution is because they themselves got caught up in it in 1917 😀
Now that you have made it this far, someone might think that a peace plan from the USA only benefits Israel and that it doesn’t solve anything at all – Johan No.1 is trying to sell us something because he received those $7000 per blog post that Israel pays.
Buy Israeli oranges 👍
You couldn’t be more wrong, read the peace plan yourself, and the only reason the streets are not filled with jubilation over the resolution of the conflict is because it crushes Hamas and Russia loses all influence.
UNRWA may have a wake for their funding will cease completely, and they will lose all influence in Gaza.

But do you know where it is actually being celebrated – in Gaza and Israel 😀
https://www.dw.com/en/news-of-peace-plan-sparks-celebrations-in-israel-and-gaza/video-74290105
Instead of rejoicing for the residents of Gaza, who are said to stand up for them, the Palestinian movement in the West is sulking, even though they have spent a large part of their waking hours pressing in the faces of everyone they meet that this is what they have been demonstrating about.
I do not intend to name-drop anything, but I have looked around among all those who have profiled themselves on the issue, and even sat on a boat, and it is not exactly a jubilant atmosphere we see.
And at a time when they should be overjoyed and spontaneously dancing in Sergels Torg for a couple of days.
An entire movement does not know how to handle this because now they no longer have a reason to demonstrate. Or they will find a new reason to demonstrate quite soon 🧐
Just to prove my suspicions above, the Palestinian movement naturally decided to demonstrate outside the party leader debate on Sunday, October 12, and accuse the government of genocide – don’t let a good peace deal ruin your plans for revolution.

The movement is revolutionary, and they have used the suffering of civilians in Gaza as a tool to advance their positions – the worst kind of kindness.
For you, me, and everyone else in Sweden who just go to our jobs and have no benefit from a revolution, let alone a Russian-led one, this movement is not our friend even if we are sometimes led to believe that they are fighting for a good cause – which they now clearly showed they were not if you are not wearing extremely large blinders and have locked yourself into ideology.
Enough about the world’s most contentious conflict that gets everyone upset just by whispering its name, it was the Russian subversive activity I was after, and now several events fell into place at the right time. The fog cleared, and there they stood completely exposed, which we are lucky with sometimes but the opportunities are too few.
As is well known, I am on Substack every now and then, and there it’s all about Trump basically – 80% of the posts are about Trump, and it often transitions into it being time to do something about it.
I am not a big fanboy of the Green Party after they pushed through the closure of six nuclear reactors, but if they emerge as winners in the next election, I will accept that they were democratically elected and will accept all the consequences that come with it.
I can also reveal that when Daniel Helden resigned as Traffic Commissioner, there was a party among the managers at the Traffic Office. Everyone knew that a meeting with him would result in being scolded, dominated, humiliated, things thrown at you, and in the worst case, demands for internal relocation.
I worked there for three years and it’s true – he is just like the Green Party, a very unpleasant person, as we know from Märta Stenevi, so that’s true too.
The USA has almost come to a standstill domestically while trying to prepare for a war against China.
The times when I reluctantly have to mention the good things Trump does – for example, when he reversed course in the Ukraine war, 10-15 followers then unfollow me on Substack in a fit of anger.
When I wrote in the other blog about all the bad things Biden did, it ended with a couple of participants making it their mission to misinterpret everything until I got tired and left.
Privacy is fun, but in the end, you end up like Agnes Wold talking to the living room wall when everyone cancels at the last minute.
In Europe, it’s the same – what do you read on Twitter, a constant stream from the opposition or sitting government parties talking down the other team as much as they can. It’s absolutely daycare level – but it’s a dangerously small preschool class sharpening their claws and practicing the axe-kick in the playroom.
Because behind it all is Russian subversive activity, doing everything they can to destabilize us.
Our 2026 election will be very exciting – probably difficult to form a government if we interpret C’s budget and Anna Karin Hatt’s view of Andersson as prime minister, Mohamsson’s stance on SD, Åkesson’s threat of opposition, V’s demand for influence, and toxic masculine dominance behavior in debates, and S’s attempt to find any policy that sticks at all – “they intend to back into the goal” was the verdict after the debate, or M’s constant free money to the business sector as soon as they get the chance – and the smirk when it slips off them and the retreat position is secured.
Do you know who likes this kind of political chaos – Russia.
They have some moles in our national politics who have taken the money and stand there weighing with a vote here or there, they can influence the outcome on important issues.
Motions of no confidence and fallen governments are also easier when it’s not a government with 65% of the votes driving a policy that has strong support from both themselves and the citizens.
I was lucky another time, there was a comedian on SVT who called the Ukrainian asylum women prostitutes, and that made us Ukrainian supporters angry so I got involved in that debate.
She wrote a total of three tweets on the subject with hundreds of comments, and in the last tweet, she described herself as a victim of racism where she was hated indiscriminately.
No namedropping, but there is something else I’m after than this very toxic debate –
I went in and looked at the first two tweets and went through all the comments – among all the angry Ukrainian supporters who criticized the comedian for calling the Ukrainian women prostitutes without any sexism or racism, there were maybe a dozen “damn immigrant” and “go home, we don’t want you here” out of five hundred comments or so.
I checked three of these – one was a far-left account that was revolutionary, one was an anonymous account that didn’t like immigrants with five followers, and I don’t remember the third but it was in the same vein.
I wrote a whole post about this at the time.
The point worth making is that what fuels and upsets, behind it lies the Russian state-sponsored activity that is enormous and has the sole task of destabilizing countries.
The comedian got media attention for being hated, and 1/3 were left-wing accounts, 1/3 guaranteed troll accounts, and 1/3 my memory fails me but I’ll cut down on beer in the future.
One weekend I woke up at four o’clock and the only thing worth opening in the fridge was two beers, that really made me think – I should have more beer in the fridge.
Russia has completely succeeded in distorting the debate climate in the West, and it’s difficult to talk about most things, polarization is soaring, and we have a toxic debate with ethnic markers.
The only narrative that Russia has completely lost is the Ukraine war because too many felt strongly that it was an injustice – they have really tried but failed.
They have also tried to turn the Ukrainian refugees against us in the West, but they refuse to play along – they do not see themselves as victims, they learn the language and start working. Putin is furious about that.
I hardly dare to get into other debates as it becomes too much trouble, but I do not budge an inch on the Ukraine war. The first two years, it was inhumane to think that Russia would have its internal revolution 2.0, it drew a lot of criticism.
In another forum, there was a ban on celebrating grilled Russian tanks because it could be perceived negatively, and that was still Sweden’s only real forum to support the Ukraine war.
We were also not allowed to call the daily losses the “lottery numbers,” so the first year was a bit calmer than the following years.
Russia topples leaders left and right, and Kier Starmer is probably next in line – those who stand out against Russia get demonstrations, riots, opposition parties, government crises, and all sorts of other things as sure as night follows day.
Macron and Starmer are also vulnerable, although the troika handles it differently, and especially Macron has already done most things he shouldn’t so nothing sticks, but Merz could have a tough time.
On October 9th, the Palestinian movement was finally exposed as indisputably infiltrated by Russians, and if there had been time, we would have followed which issue they would turn to next because they won’t just shave, put on a shirt, and start working next week now that what they demonstrated against is over. I don’t know what the men will do.
Congratulations to the residents of Gaza who now have a real chance for lasting peace and have also secured reconstruction and support, which very few war-torn areas usually get – this could turn out well in the end even if it starts at minus three.
Draw a line and start over – it’s the only thing you can do.
Now we have a first major victory from the West in our efforts to de-escalate – Gaza.
Ceasefire in Gaza made me really uplifted, good for the Palestinians and a big blow to Russia's global escalation plans.
Now Hamas is probably weighing whether to continue terrorizing the residents of Gaza or not, but at least the hostages have been released - it's moving in the right direction.
