Norway police investigate diplomat over Jeffrey Epstein links Mona Juul and her husband Terje Rød-Larsen - who played a vital role in the Oslo Accords - are being investigated for "aggravated corruption".

In the play "Oslo", about the peace process of the same name (and do check the financing of at least one production of that play), the character Mona Juul states: "In Norway we take nepotism to an entirely new level". Oh, the irony!

Affaire Epstein : la Norvège secouée par l’onde de choc Plusieurs personnalités, liées à de grandes institutions norvégiennes, apparaissent dans les documents publiés par l’administration Trump. Outre le choc provoqué par certains échanges avec le prédateu...

L’excellent collègue @halvardl.bsky.social explique les ramifications, et les raisons sociologiques, de l’affaire Epstein en Norvège.

DN mener: Økokrim må granske Juul og Rød-Larsen (+) Frogner-leilighet på billigsalg, ferietur og hjelp til barn. Ekteparet Juul og Rød-Larsens relasjon til Epstein må frem i offentligheten.

I couldn’t agree: more Økokrim needs to investigate Rød Larsen and Juul.

Apropos Børge Brende:

This is really what I want people to appreciate. I get that it feels good to be like "well that person's a pedophile too!" But in many cases they weren't. They were just people who didn't think it was a big deal. That's terrible in its own particular way.

The Epstein Files and Russiagate are the Same Thing For years the culture war has assigned these scandals to opposite teams.

I think that @seva.bsky.social has something here.

Børge Brende nekter for at han kjente til Epsteins kriminelle bakgrunn Børge Brende holder fast ved at han ikke kjente til Jeffrey Epsteins forhistorie som dømt seksualforbryter da de møttes.

I want five bands you can't fucking stand:

4 Non Blondes
Blind Melon
Hanson
Spin Doctors

(This was my very specific early 90's and Norwegian take).

Utnyttbar og lettlurt er andre adjektiver du kunne ha lagt til. Jeg er skuffet over den manglende refleksjonen og sjokkert over det manglende gangsynet. Har ikke disse menneskene (eller menneskene rundt dem) hørt om "VG-testen"? Tåler dette forsiden på avisene? Vi ser svaret nå. NEI!!!

Trump's gratuitous smear of Danish soldiers who fell in service to America have the entire nation in a state of outrage, continuing now for many days. American media ignore this.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Hvor lite overrasket er du over at Jagland og Brende er de to norske eks-politikerne som kommer dårligst ut av dette? Fair enough - de har hatt blant de mest synlige posisjonene ute, men likevel?

TRUMP YESTERDAY:

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

In the early 1930s, some Norwegians claimed Eastern Greenland for Norway. Norway lost resoundingly in the Hague. In the ensuing parliamentary debate, a Labour-representative, critical of the claim, referred to the claimants as “Greenlandnationalactivistfascists”. Just wanted to put this out there...

I just thought everyone should see this

If this is the end result, Trump will have terminally weakened the closest US friendships in the world, for nothing. Nothing at all. The US already has this. Pathetic.

And, if fund managers in Europe draw the same conclusions, we might eventually catch up to the rest of the world. If TACO can be predicted, based on Wall St. movements, that does create opportunities.

Occam's razor suggests that you are correct.

Tyrone: Hey, baby. Maybe you can help clean *my* pipe... *whips out his cock*

Tiffany: The United States reaffirms its commitment to collective security but maintains control over Greenland is a core national interest.

Tyrone: First of all, Tiffany, that's contrary to the spirit of collective sec

"And so the King of Mexico calls me and she's like "Mister Trump, I need you to fix my plumbing and then I..."

Meanwhile in a LA porn studio, Tiffany is a little confused as to why she's supposed to talk about NATO and global trade before the gang bang, but it's interesting reading.

A woman shows one inch too much boob and she's a slut but this guy can just walk up to the podium and read a fucking porno script and still be president of the United States.

The script of that Carney speech is going to end up on a lot of IR readings lists...

"And you know, as Gramsci said, ‘if the old is dying and the new is not yet born, you live in a time of monsters,’ and it’s up to him to decide if he wants to be a monster – yes or no.”

Eh, Belgien premiärminister citerar Gramsci för att beskriva den situation som Trump skapat....
