Helsinki Youth Department...

... Just Missing Arm Bands.

When it came to organizing the populous against a targeted community Hitler and Stalin knew exactly how to do it. Command the youth and strangle the elderly. The children of the nation can alter the fate of a people. That is why Hitler's most indelible legacy of Socialist order was his "Hitler Youth" program.
-
In Finland this mission is accomplished with the Youth Departments. These help lead action against Europe's least desirable minority (their largest minority), the Romani.
-
Today the Helsinki Youth Department will be using force to remove Roma from a camp that their government had set up. To make their actions legitimate they have asked the local authorities to "help" them destroy the Roma camp. A method that has worked in places like Italy (where the police actively attack and beat Roma when offered the chance to "help").
-
The camp is an abandoned civic building in the Kalasatama area. It has running water, electricity, and a reputation that keeps the local authorities out. In other words it is perfect for a people who want to be left alone.
-
The local government has offered the Roma another camp, a temporary one, in the Hietaniemi service center. The Roma have declined.
-
”They would rather stay in a place where they would have water, electricity, and where the authorities would not disturb them. Moreover, they would not like to take up space needed by homeless Finns”, Keiju Oksanen reported Wednesday.
-
And this is a fact that the Youth Department does not want to realize. In putting the Roma into a "homeless shelter" they force them into competition with homeless Finns. Thus creating an even harsher environment than the local homeless already have to live with.
-
Jarmo Räihä, a chairman with the Roma working group with the City of Helsinki Social Services Department, reported that other reasons for the Romas' declining of the offer was the fact that the service center had little parking and no cooking space. It also was much more "guarded" with many more police and government officials around. In short, the service center looks and feels to much like a government camp being offered to concentrate them in one area... under watching eyes.
