Det som skjer nå er ikke tilfeldig.
De siste dagene har ytre høyre-kontoer på X blåst liv i en hendelse fra 2023.
En video blir delt med påstander om at noen ble nektet å gå med det norske flagget på grunn av flagget i seg selv.
Det stemmer ikke.
Likevel spres det videre – med fullt overlegg. Hundretusener av visninger. Kanskje over en million. Internasjonale profiler deler det videre.
Og midt i dette står en polititjenesteperson som gjorde jobben sin. Resultatet er en massiv hets mot politiet oh én enkelt person i uniform.
Dette handler ikke bare om én video. Det handler om tilliten i samfunnet vårt.
Jeg kommer ikke til å dele videoen eller bildene. Rett og slett fordi jeg ikke vil bidra til å spre dem videre.
Slik fungerer denne typen kampanjer: Et klipp tas ut av kontekst. Et falskt narrativ bygges. Sinne piskes opp. Og så ruller algoritmene videre.
At tjenestepersonen også har minoritetsbakgrunn gjør det hele enda mer ubehagelig, fordi vi vet hvor raskt slike kampanjer kan ta en stygg retning.
Det mest oppsiktsvekkende er at dette ikke bare spres av anonyme kontoer. Også personer tilknyttet redaktørstyrte medier – medier som mottar pressestøtte – bidrar til å spre eller legitimere narrativet.
Grunnen til at jeg velger å si ifra er enkel: Dette skjer rett under nesen vår.
Ord.
Holdninger.
Ideer.
Normalisert gjennom desinformasjon.
Dette er også godt beskrevet i Totalberedskapsmeldingen: hvordan målrettede desinformasjonskampanjer kan svekke tilliten i samfunnet vårt.
Derfor er kampen mot desinformasjon også en del av vår nasjonale beredskap.
Når løgner normaliseres, undergraves også demokratiet.
Vi lever i en tid hvor vi er helt avhengige av å styrke samfunnslimet. Tilliten mellom folk. Tilliten til institusjonene våre. Respekten for hverandre.
Likevel ser vi at noen aktivt jobber for det motsatte – å rive det opp, bit for bit.
Jeg gidder ikke å være en passiv tilskuer til det. Og det bør heller ingen andre være.
For dette er farlig for tilliten i samfunnet vårt. Det bryter ned noe av det viktigste vi har.
Nemlig tilliten.
Og uten tillit faller også samfunnslimet som holder Norge sammen.

Another very weird statement from the USA government regarding Greenland.
A lot of places can be important to neighbouring countries. Finland is important to the security of Sweden. Poland is important to the security of Germany. That does not give Sweden a right to get anything from Finland or Germany a right to get something from Poland.
The USA has zero rights to Greenland. None whatsoever.
Denmark allows the USA to have a base there. (They can have more if they want). That base does nothing for Denmark or Greenland. Literally nothing. It only protects the USA from potential missiles flying from Russia over the North Pole towards the USA. It does not protect Greenland and it does not protect Denmark in any way at all. The USA does not protect Greenland in any other way than the protection in the NATO treaty that applies to all NATO countries. They do nothing special in Greenland on a daily basis.
Denmark and Greenland, therefore, does not owe the USA anything in Greenland. It is the other way around. The USA owes Denmark and Greenland because we allow the USA to have the base.
Getting this twisted around to sound like USA ought to get something from Greenland and Denmark because they are allowed to have a base in Greenland makes absolutely no sense, and these embarrassing and hostile statements from the USA government have to stop.
.@VP: It's just very simple: Greenland is very important to the national security of the United States of America... If we're going to be on the hook for protecting this massive land mass, I think it's only reasonable for the United States to get some benefit out of that.

BREAKING: A Member of British Parliament shreds Trump as an "international gangster" and the "most corrupt president, the United States has ever seen" in an absolutely blistering viral takedown.
This one has MAGA world screeching with rage...
"President Trump is acting like an international gangster. Threatened to trample over the sovereignty of an ally. Threatening the end of NATO altogether, and now threatening to hit our country and seven European allies with outrageous damaging tariffs unless he gets his hands on Greenland," said Sir Edward Jonathan Davey, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats.
"This is an incredibly grave moment for the United Kingdom, Europe and our world," he continued. "Without provocation or justification, the President of the United States is attacking our economy, our livelihoods, and our national security. Trump has put British businesses and jobs on the front line in his unprovoked aggression."
"The only people cheering him on are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping," said Davey.
"Only a few months ago, Trump hailed the special relationship at Windsor Castle. Now, thanks to his actions, it is nearly in tatters," he went on. "So how do we stop Trump's damaging trade war? For a year now, Madam Deputy Speaker, the Prime Minister has tried a policy of appeasing Trump, flattering him, fawning over him, refusing to stand up to him because he argued otherwise Trump would hit us with damaging tariffs.
"Well, the Prime Minister has tested his approach to destruction. It has failed," he said bluntly. "It is time for the government to change course. We have to finally be clear-eyed about the sort of man Trump is and treat him accordingly. He is a bully. He thinks he can grab whatever he wants, using force if necessary."
"And he is corrupt. The most corrupt President the United States has ever seen," said Davey. "So there are only two ways of getting him to back down. Bribing him with a new jet, perhaps, or a few billionaires' crypto account. Or standing up to him like we would with any other bully. Standing together with our European allies to make him back down. That's the choice."
"Which one, Foreign Secretary?" Davey concluded.
Sir Davey is absolutely right. The United Kingdom must cease its appeasement. Trump's deranged efforts to seize Greenland as a U.S. territory are as insane as they are criminal. He has no moral code, no respect for the law, and has even admitted that this Greenland fixation stems from his anger over having been denied the Nobel Peace Prize. Having lost interest in peace, he's now threatening war with our closest allies. It's time those allies started standing up to him. The majority of Americans stand with you!
Please ❤️ and share to urge Europe to stand up to Trump!

If Trump takes over Greenland (on purpose not saying US), it will be the end of the rules based world order, of UN and NATO. A gift to China who will feel free to take Taiwan. A reward to Putin who wants all of Eastern Europe. Do US Republicans really feel ready to carry that burden?

Verden er i beredskap for en alvorlig influensasesong. Det bør alle være – influensa er *ikke* en forkjølelse, og nei, C-vitaminer og isbading er ikke det som holder den unna. Ta vaksine, vask hendene og ikke host folk i fjeset. Og spre gjerne kunnskap, hver eneste dråpe hjelper.

Elon Musk said he “has never harmed any individual”. That is a lie. Children are starving in South Sudan and other countries while almost $100 million of food destined for the region rots in warehouses after Elon Musk and Donald Trump shut down USAID. Children are dying from starvation every day. The world’s richest man killed them.

BREAKING: A former top official at the FDA enrages MAGA world by revealing the brilliant way he sabotaged anti-vaxxer Health Secretary RFK Jr. before departing his job: "Why wouldn’t we? Because frankly we don’t trust [expletive]."
This is how you undermine a disastrous administration...
Peter Marks was the head of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research until the Trump administration removed him in March.
Marks has revealed to the Associated Press that while he allowed Kennedy's staff to read reports from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), he adamantly refused to allow them to directly edit the information — saving us all from their anti-science agenda.
"Why wouldn’t we? Because frankly we don’t trust (them)," he stated with profanity. "They’d write over it or erase the whole database."
VAERS is a self-reported system for tracking alleged adverse responses to vaccines that is managed by the FDA and CDC.
In his conversation with the AP, Marks also blamed the sluggish and inadequate response by the Department of Health and Human Services for the second confirmed measles-related death this year. It occurred in Texas over the weekend.
"I consider these needless and senseless deaths. These kids should get vaccinated. That’s how you prevent people from dying of measles," said Marks.
"Mr. Kennedy has increased the pace by which he intends to minimize the use of vaccines in this country," said Marks, adding that he "tried everything" to forge some cooperation with RFK Jr.
Eventually, Marks was forced out — and now he's speaking out. More government officials should follow his lead. Do what you can to impede this destructive administration and then loudly condemn them.

Prime ministers of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and president of Finland dining together last night.
The message they want to send is clear: Scandinavia stands together
This shows that Trump and his followers are not familiar with the Gospel and what is written in the Bible, he just wants to make money selling them.
Trump threatens his allies and suck up to the dictators. Trump truer sine allierte og smisker med diktatorer !
NEW:
🇺🇲🇩🇰 US-Denmark relations on the brink of disaster
Trump called the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, and demanded that Denmark hand over Greenland to the United States - Financial Times reports citing five European officials
The conversation was a disaster. Trump was reportedly aggressive and confrontational, rejecting all offers of cooperation from Denmark and focusing solely on acquiring Greenland.

BREAKING: MAGA pressure builds but Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde stands strong — refusing to back down after calling Donald Trump out to his face at the National Cathedral stating: "I won't apologize."
She's killing them with kindness and it's driving Republicans insane...
"I don't hate the president, and I pray for him. I don't feel there's a need to apologize for a request for mercy," Budde told NPR's All Things Considered.
"I regret that it was something that has caused the kind of response that it has, in the sense that it actually confirmed the very thing that I was speaking of earlier, which is our tendency to jump to outrage and not speak to one another with respect," she added. "But no, I won't, I won't apologize for what I said."
She voiced similar sentiments on MSNBC—
"We’re in a particularly harsh moment now when it comes to conversations around immigrant populations in our midst," Budde told Rachel Maddow. "And so that was the reason for the … tone I took now, but it could’ve been a very different tone in a different context."
The fact that Trump and his MAGA supporters are so incensed about Budde's sermon says far more about them than it does her. These so-called "Christians" were exposed to a message of love and mercy from a real Christian love and it's breaking their brains.
"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives," the reverend said as Trump sat in the pews.
"The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," she added.
Trump himself responded by attacking Budde as "nasty" and "not compelling or smart" after her moving sermon. This is the man that Evangelicals voted en masse to support. The hypocrisy is enough to churn your stomach.
