Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? (Dirty Rotten Finland Series)

In this episode, I'm going to talk about why the Divine (i.e., the True and Loving God) allowed Finland's recent attempt on my life to take place.

If you have read or listened to the first episode of my "Are You a Jedi or Darth Vader" podcast series, then you know that, at a certain point in the Finnish government’s evil plot to end my life, the Divine stepped in and said, "You can go no further."

But why did the Divine allow it to get that far?

Truth is, the Divine knew exactly what they were planning. The Divine knew exactly what they were up to. And the Divine allowed it to carry through to a certain point.

In this episode, I'm going to delve into one of the biggest existential questions we have as human beings: 

Why does the Divine allow bad things to happen to us — especially the Good, honest, innocent people in this world?

Transcript

In this episode, I'm going to talk about why the Divine allowed that to happen to me. 

Because here's something that Mari, Juha, and their SUPO henchmen / hitman seem to be completely oblivious to: 

The fact that the Divine knew exactly what they were planning. The Divine knew exactly what they were up to. And the Divine allowed it to carry through to a certain point.

And you might be wondering why. And it goes to the bigger question that we have as human beings: why does the Divine allow certain things to happen to us? Why does the Divine allow bad things to happen to us, either a little bit or medium, or all the way full on, right?

If you listen to the first episode of my "Are You a Jedi or Darth Vader" series, then you know that at a certain point in their evil plot to assassinate me and take my life, the Divine stepped in and said, "You can go no further."

But why did the Divine allow it to get that far?

Why the Divine Allowed This to Happen to Me?

We have the expression that the Divine moves in mysterious ways. We have the expression that the Divine moves in its own Divine timing, that the Divine has a plan. And so in this case, one thing I can tell you is, despite the fact that after their assassination attempt, they were still hanging around in Phuket trying to figure out another way to do it, while actively hacking into my devices to try to keep me from publishing this story and publishing the evidence that I have against them.

So not only did they try to kill me, but in the aftermath, they are consistently trying to silence me. They have actively been hacking into my devices for the past couple of days. They still have people following me. They still have people surveilling me from one country to the next.

If I could show you video of how many people were surveilling me when I went to the police station in Thailand, how many were surveilling me when I went to the airport in Thailand, it would boggle the mind. But they are so afraid of what I will share with you about what they have been up to and how depraved, wicked, and evil they are that this is what they're doing.

Why I'm Not Afraid

Now, you might be wondering to yourself, why aren't I afraid? Because I already know the end game here. This is all under a Divine plan. And the end game is that they lose. They don't win this game. This is not something that they win.

The Short Answer

So the short answer to why the Divine allowed this to happen to me, why the Divine allowed them to go so far for so long to track me over months and multiple countries: the Divine allowed them to go so far as to be able to orchestrate their plan on May 8th so that I would witness every single shady, wicked, evil thing they did. And then I would tell the truth.

Not only that, but their assumption is that I'm the only actor in this Divine plan. I am not. The Divine has a full plan at play right now to take the wicked out of the government in Finland, because they are so wicked and they're so evil that they would go so far as to kill an innocent journalist on foreign soil.

And so the Divine is like, "Now's the time for all of your secrets in the dark to be exposed." And I'm not the only one who's part of this plan. And it's already Divinely ordained that they lose. That's why I'm not concerned. Because if they were meant to win, I would be dead right now.

I Can Be Trusted

Another reason why the Divine had that happen and included me in it: the Divine knows that it can trust me to be an honest, truthful, fearless journalist. No one's paying me to do this. No one's paying me to put out this message, right? My life has literally been threatened. But I have no fear because, per the scriptures, the Divine does not give us the spirit of fear.

I have no fear because I already know how it ends. They lose. I have no fear because this is literally a Divine plan and Divine timing.

Multiple Factors at Play

And there are multiple things, multiple factors at play, including the people of Finland and the government in Finland. Not all of it is part of the party that Maria is part of. Maria is part of an administration that controls a certain number of seats in Finland—I think it may be about 48—but they don't control all the seats. There are other people of other parties in Finland who control the rest.

And those people, their constituents, as well as the people of Finland, have a right to know that their government used taxpayer dollars to try to assassinate an American journalist on foreign soil in Thailand, to cover up the depth and level of corruption happening under their watch.

So the Divine knew that despite them trying to kill me, I would be unfazed and unmoved, and would do everything in my power to get the truth out there. So the Divine had it happen to me so I witnessed every single thing that they did and that I could report on it truthfully. So I could reach out and confirm things with my sources to be able to tell you the truth.

The Ugly Truth About Finland

Because right now there's massive lies flying through the world when it comes to Finland. One of the biggest lies is that they're the happiest country in the world. That is perpetuated by a report put out by Oxford University, the UN, etc. every single year touting the four Nordic countries as the happiest countries in the world—the four smallest, whitest countries in the world as the happiest.

And as I talked about in season two of my podcast, that's all BS. I've been to Finland. The first time I've ever been robbed in my life was in Finland, and I've traveled to many different countries around the world. The only country that went out of its way to rob me the moment I arrived in the country was Finland.

I've only had one public assassination attempt in my life thus far, and the country that carried that out was Finland. You can't be the happiest country in the world if you are robbing a journalist the moment she arrives in your country.

My First Day in Finland

By the way, I didn't even go to Finland to report or anything. I just went there as a tourist for a couple of days before heading somewhere else. I just wanted to see the beautiful trees and forests of the land. I wasn't thinking about their government. I wasn't wondering whether they had a corrupt government or not. I didn't care.

But the moment I arrived at their airport in Helsinki, I was robbed. And then a year and a half later, after I exposed some of the corruption that goes on in that country and that government, and while I was digging for more information, I wanted the government to conduct an investigation. And they kept refusing to do so.

And the more I escalated, the more frustrated they got to the extent that they literally put a hit on my life. Do you know how bad you have to be, what you're trying to cover up if you've tried to kill a journalist?

Why They Didn't Kill Me in Finland

They didn't kill me in their country. In fact, one thing I'll say is, when I was in Finland, they made a very specific effort to look at my passport multiple times. The police, the police who are assigned to the Helsinki airport in Finland, the main airport, kept wanting to see my passport. I think it was to reassure themselves that I am actually American so they can't get away with killing me in Finland.

So they had to let me go because they did not want to kill me in Finland and have the American embassy asking questions like, "Why was an American journalist assassinated in your country?"

So they waited and they watched and they followed and they surveyed for months on end until they could either try to silence me. They tried to pretend like they were doing an investigation when they weren't. And when I kept digging and I kept asking questions and I kept wanting information, they were like, "Our only solution is to silence her. Now, where can we do it? Where we can get away with it? Let's do it in Thailand. Let's do it via a motorbike accident so it looks like a traffic accident. And no one will think about us because it's so far away from Finland. No one will make the connection because it's a year and a half after we allowed a robbery to happen to her the moment she arrived in Finland."

The Divine Knew All Along

But the Divine knew all of their plans. The Divine knew exactly what they were planning and exactly when they were planning it. And the Divine allowed me to see all of the different things they were doing and to gain understanding of what they were doing, even though I didn't realize that they wanted to kill me until that black truck was headed towards my back.

I knew something was off about that day. But my mind doesn't go to "they're going to try to kill me" because that's just freaking nuts. Unless you have some serious, serious corrupt things to hide, which is clearly the case here.

So the Divine allowed that to happen to me because there's a bigger plan at play. There are multiple factors at play, and the Divine is in control of all of it. And like we discussed during my series "Are You a Jedi or Darth Vader," the Divine is the major force. All these evil actors in Finland, they're all minor forces. They're minor. They don't win here. They lose. It is already preordained that not only do they lose, they lose big time.

How the Divine Works

Now, the way the Divine works is in multiple different ways. One of them is by stepping in like the Divine did in terms of protecting me, my back, my person, and my health in that moment when that big black truck was about to slam into me.

But the Divine also works through the goodness of people, the good hearts and the good souls that are more closely and deeply connected with the Divine—aka the real-life Jedis walking this planet. And some of you are Jedi. You're listening to this. And whether you realize it or not, you're a Jedi. You can be a Jedi that helps the Divine to carry out justice and goodness in this world.

So the Divine had me go through that so that I could be a Jedi at this moment and expose what they did to me, because I'm not silenced. That's not my character. That's not my demeanor. That's not what I was put on this earth to do.

Not only that, but I'm on the winning team. You lose here. There are other people who are also involved in this Divine plan, including people in Finland, including voters, including people of other parties in Finland.

A Call to Action for Jedis

And it is your job as a Jedi, a warrior in the light, a warrior for the right side, the light side, the force of good to do the right thing moving forward, to hold these people accountable moving forward, to arrest them, try them, and throw them in prison moving forward.

I've already given you the beginnings of what you need. I have photos of the spies who were doing covert activities to track my movements and how I utilize the Grab app. All you have to do is look at who was in Thailand moving through your embassy at that period of time, what money was moving around. How were they financing this? How were they using public tax dollars from Finland to finance this operation?

So there are multiple things at play. There are multiple people at play. The time for the light to be shined on the darkness of what these evil people in the administration have been doing with public tax dollars financed by the people of Finland is now. That is why that happened to me. That's why the Divine allowed it to happen to me up to a certain point, except when it came to killing me. Then the Divine fully stepped in.

Soul Evolution and Divine Purpose

During my "Are You a Jedi Knight or Darth Vader" series, I talked about how bad things can happen to you, whereas the enemy wants it to happen to you in order to wound you, to take you out, to cause you to come to the dark side. And sometimes the Divine will allow it to happen to you for the growth of your soul.

A lot of times something that's happening has multiple purposes, some of which you don't fully know or understand. There are multiple things at play, right? So it can be about defeating the enemy and evolving your soul and encouraging other people.

In this case, when it comes to my soul, the evolution of my soul definitely got an upgrade. And that's not the first time that the Divine has saved my life, right. But it's definitely, I would say, probably one of the more dramatic ones.

Faith Through Experience

And so, you know, the evolution of my soul—when I mentioned in the previous podcast series that your relationship with the Divine doesn't have to be blind faith. It is a walk, right?

And so when people ask me, "Like, how do you have this depth of faith in the Divine?" I'm like, "Well, the Divine literally stepped in to keep a government agency from killing me in a foreign land. That's what the Divine did for me. That's the power of the Divine."

So my faith definitely went up another level. My soul definitely went up another level from that experience. At every step of the way, while the enemy was planning all of their machinations and attacks, they're thinking they're being clever and getting one over on me, I'm noticing what they're doing. I just don't think in my head they're trying to murder me. But the Divine knew and the Divine had my back.

Multiple Purposes, Multiple Outcomes

And so there are multiple things at play. There are multiple people and actors at play, and there are multiple reasons at play. You have that duality of it—it can be to take down evil forces and shine a light on their evil, evil, evil activities going on behind the scenes. And at the same time, it can also be about me evolving my faith in the Divine, me evolving my soul, me evolving the strength and the love and the beauty of my soul and my level of patience and peace.

The level of Peace that I have, despite the fact that a government agency linked to NATO with NATO-level resources tried to kill me, but I'm still peaceful and happy and joyful. That's amazing. I'm not walking around hating Finland or hating the people of Finland, or hating white people or hating neo-Nazis.

I'm like, "I don't have any time for hate in my life. I'm going to continue to live joyfully and in love and peace and light." And that is a testament to the ever-increasing evolution of my soul.

There Is Always a Reason

And so while I can't explain every single situation that happens, there is a reason why it happens. And there might be multiple reasons—that's for you as well as other people that are involved in the situation.

But what I will say is, no matter what happens to you, your soul is strong enough to handle it, to transmute it, and alchemize it into good. The thing is, like we talked about in the Jedi series, you cannot allow it to fester as negativity in your being, in your soul for the rest of your life.

Know that the Divine has plans. The Divine has Divine timing. The Divine does want what's best for you. And sometimes the bad things—the Divine allows it to happen for a variety of different reasons, including the evolution and strengthening and enlightenment of your soul.

So hopefully this makes sense. Hopefully it was enlightening for you. And there's more to come in this series. But I just wanted to get that out there to help hopefully answer some questions for you in terms of why the Divine allows certain things to happen.

And ultimately, what's at play here? Who wins? Who loses in this current battle that I find myself in? Well, I can already tell you: they lose. It's preordained. They lose because A, it's preordained, and B, because they're on the losing side. They're on the side of evil, which is the minor force in this world.

It does not trump the Divine. It does not trump the power of the Divine and the Divine's desire to ultimately provide Truth and Love and Justice in this world.

To the People of Finland

But this goes specifically to people in Finland who are listening right now. It is your job to be Jedi in this world on behalf of your country. If you want your country to actually live up to being the happiest country in the world, you cannot have a government in power who makes it so that people are homeless and digging in trash cans at the Helsinki airport.

I saw that in person. You can't have a government that's trying to assassinate a journalist on foreign soil. You can't have a government that allowed and actually probably orchestrated me being robbed upon arrival in Finland and then went out of their way to protect the people who robbed me and to not investigate in order to hide things.

You cannot have a government that is clearly corrupt and colluding with bad actors in all kinds of nefarious criminal activities—not just government, but your Ministry of Interior, who oversees both your police department at all levels and oversees your version of the CIA. In both cases, and potentially in the case of how her ex-husband died, there's a lot of shady, corrupt criminal activities happening.

And Mari Rantanen, her two Juhas, are all culpable in it. It is your job as the people of Finland, as members and workers in the other parties of Finland, to shine a light on all of this and clean house. And you will not be acting alone. You will be on the right side. You will be on the right side, and the Divine has your back the same way that the Divine had my back in that moment when your government tried to kill me.
