Bloggers Guide to Arctic Finland book presents briefly the last 100-year history of Arctic Finland, with many vital facts for understanding Finland history from the people of Finland perspective. And not from the foreign imperial-minded invaders such as the Soviet Russians, or Western Imperial minded victors justice.

The people of the land in Finland for more than 600 years have lived between a rock and a hard place. Imperial Sweden on the Western side and Imperial Russia on the East side. Neither of these military conquest objectives was invited by the people of the land

The Swedish monarchy did have a Western World view and life philosophy in regard to human rights and jurisprudence. The Imperial Russian motive to conquer was very much different. Russian bear was hungry to grow their entity bigger, politically ambitious to dominate the northern hemisphere all the way around the Polar cap.

The rebellion of the Bolsheviks up the ante, they were aggressive to take control and dominate not only the Russian State but start a lawless revolution that would spill over the borders into all of the established Western world standards of the civil society rule of law. The Soviet Union Bolshevik founders were a negative force from the very beginnings of the movement. They rejected the authority and the first principles of reason, as presented in the first five books of the Bible by the Creator of Life. Soviets rejected the intelligent Spirit from outside time and space, that initiated the First Cause of the cause and effect of the material universe. Bolsheviks world view was on a head-on collision with the Western world understand the first principles of reason/logic.

Bloggers Guide To Arctic Finland book is written from a Biblical objective World view that accepts truth as a vital to human reason and life virtue.

Respect and adherence to the first principles fo reason enable the human mind to understand what justice is and looks like. There is always a personal commitment required at a spiritual level from the spirit of truth before the concept of truth can be realized and appreciated. If there is no commitment to the situational personal spirit of truth, then the essential experience of the spirit of truth will always be evasive outside of the human mind.

Fundamental human rights, justice as it is presented through the Spirit of the Natural Law. Spirit of the Natural Law is not political, it is not driven by archaic Imperialistic forces such as territorial conquest. There are also lots of pictures from the traditional Nordic cuisine, regional ingredients, and the environment. Including a baltic herring recipe.

Bloggers guide to Arctic Finland shares many pivotal points of Finland history, where the ordinary people of the land have been invaded, violated, and robbed of their land from 1939 onwards to date.  In 1939 440,000 Karelian war refugees forced to evacuate because of the Soviet Union leader’s lawlessness, and total disregard to the Spirit of the Natural Law.

The Bolshevik Stalin leadership ushered in many generations of political repression in Russia, including the modern day Russian leaders that repress the true facts of history and fabricate lies to justify their erroneous world view and twisted half-truth life philosophies.  

Bloggers Guide To Arctic Finland Topics

Many topics about Arctic Finland history. Including the often misunderstood and ambiguous role of the German military in Arctic Finland. The only way to get to the bottom of the facts is to ask why did the aggressive war against peace by the Soviets happen in the first place? (1939). The answer is directly linked to why did the Russian Revolution occur in 1917? That is directly linked to the Bolsheviks rebellion and lawless spirits in 1914. And that is directly linked to the violation of the Spirit of the Natural Law, by people that were given to lawlessness, rebellion, and anarchy. To find reconciliation in human conflicts, especially political power players, is to understand what the Spirit of the Natural Law is. Only then can humans get out of the madly ambitious political ping pong game between political rivals, where ordinary people, and the people of the land are being played back and forward, like they were ping pong balls.

Chapter 37 talks about the German Soldiers Cemetery In the Arctic of Finland that was invaded by the Soviets in 1939 and again 1944.
