"A Proof"
F for Fake--Finland
第一个未知数
The theory that all or most Ashkenazi ("European") Jews might be descended from Turkic Khazars (rather than Semitic groups in the Middle East) dates back to the late nineteenth century, and is frequently cited to malign modern Jews as not actually being Israelites and/or to undermine Israeli claims to territory also sought by Palestinians. Yiddish is based on medieval German, not Turkish, and this fact alone proves that Ashkenazi Jews didn't come from Central Asia, but for some reason they prefer modern DNA evidence that "largely disproves Khazar origin theory". Have they examined Jewish mothers' Y-chromosomes?

Titanic's baby victim identified
Scientists in Canada using DNA testing have identified the remains of a baby boy who was one of the victims of the Titanic disaster. The luxury liner, built in Belfast, was on its way from Southampton to New York when it sank on 15 April 1912 with the loss of 1503 passengers and crew. The young boy was found dead floating in the icy waters of the North Atlantic six days after the disaster. He was buried in a grave in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which was dedicated to 'the unknown child'.
He had become a symbol of one of the world's most memorable disasters. He was buried in a cemetery on the outskirts of Halifax with a 150 other Titanic victims. Now the mystery of who the toddler was has been answered by scientists who have been testing the remains at Lakehead University in Ontario. The boy was 13-month old Eino Panula and his DNA has been matched to living family members in Finland. The child was one of five being taken by his mother to the United States to start a new life. The father was there waiting for them.
When scientists exhumed the remains of the grave last year they found only a wrist bone and three teeth. The ability to successfully complete the DNA testing on remains nearly a century old is quite remarkable. Dr Ryan Parr led the scientific investigation. He says it was the living descendents of the family who made it all worthwhile.
"It's that human element. To see how excited these families were and to be able to identify a part of their past, their legacy, their history, was really fun and exciting. That became more important I think than the science," he said.
The remains of Eino Panula will be reburied in his original resting place. His surviving family members say they do not want him to be returned to Finland but given back to the people of Halifax who have looked after him all this time.

Titanic baby given new identity
A baby boy positively identified by DNA testing decades after he died when the Titanic sank has now been named as someone else. The boy was first said to be a Finnish boy aged 13 months, but experts now say he was a 19-month-old English child. He was found dead floating in the waters of the North Atlantic six days after the luxury liner sank. Titanic was heading from Southampton to New York when it sank on 15 April 1912, killing 1,503 passengers and crew.
After DNA testing in 2002, scientists declared they had identified the boy. He was initially said to be Eino Panula, whose DNA was matched to living family members in Finland. But Canadian researchers now say that he was 19-month-old Sidney Leslie Goodwin, who was travelling on the Titanic with the rest of his family to start a new life in America.
"It's very easy to say you got this wrong, but nevertheless that is how science works, and you do change your ideas and you do change your theories," said Ryan Parr, the case's lead researcher at Lakehead University in Ontario. "The evidence was pretty conclusive at the time."
Based on the size of the child's teeth, scientists had been able to narrow the field of possible candidates to children of about one year old. "There were some aspects that made us a bit uncomfortable, even though that's what the teeth experts were telling us," Mr Parr said. "So we pressed forward and did more DNA testing." A test on the child's HVS1, a type of mitochondria DNA molecule, did not match the Panula family, the researchers said.
The child was one of some 150 Titanic victims buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. For decades, the boy was known simply as the unknown child and regarded as a symbol of all the children who died in the sinking. After he was first identified, his surviving Finnish relatives travelled to the grave for a high-profile ceremony. Although the Goodwin family has been informed of the discovery, it is not known whether they have any plans to visit the cemetery.

Ilta-Sanomat reveals embarrassing error in Reuters feed on Russian North Pole sub expedition
Images presented by the Reuters news agency last Thursday, purporting to show the Finnish-built MIR-1 and MIR-2 submersibles during a recent Russian scientific expedition to the sea bed 4.3 kilometres below the Geographic North Pole, have been shown to be something else again. The pictures did indeed show MIR-1 and MIR-2 in action, but the submersibles were actually employed at the time in location filming at the scene of the wreck of the RMS Titanic in the North Atlantic, and not under the polar ice-cap.
Those who have seen James Cameron's blockbuster movie Titanic (1997) will also have recognised the footage, as Cameron used the same shots in certain sequences of his epic about the 1912 disaster that were set in modern times. The images were picked up by numerous media outlets around the world, Helsingin Sanomat among them, and were inserted into news stories as evidence of the successful expedition. Nobody raised any eyebrows. At least, not until one Finnish reader, a 13-year-old boy from Kemi named Waltteri Seretin, made just this "Cameron connection", and contacted the late-edition tabloid Ilta-Sanomat. The newspaper ran the story prominently in its Thursday edition.
The footage used by Reuters was supplied by the Russian television channel RTR, and apparently no claim was made in the original Russian news bulletin to suggest the pictures showed the two manned mini-subs beneath the North Pole. Indeed at the time of the original broadcast, the vessels and their crews were known to be still some hours away from their destination. However, a viewer could conceivably assume that the computer animations, the footage of ships on the surface at the North Pole, and the underwater scenes were all part of the same continuum. In its piece on the subject, two of the four Reuters pictures were from the Titanic filming.
Reuters later apologised for the error and made the appropriate changes to its video material on the expedition, with captions denoting the various origins of the file footage used. As the story of the faux pictures broke and spread to other countries, there were those who jumped to the hasty conclusion that in fact the entire Russian Academy of Sciences' expedition was a hoax. It was even thought briefly that the planting of a titanium Russian flag on the sea-bed - seen as a symbolic claim on the area, which is rich in natural resources - was the product of clever image manipulation. Things are probably not that dramatic: it merely seems that someone at the normally meticulous news agency arrived at a wrong conclusion of their own about the images and they were mislabelled or left without any captions at all.
The incident is doubly embarrassing for Reuters since it follows on from a case last August in which the news agency published an image by a freelancer of Israeli bombings in Lebanon that had been dramatised using photo manipulation, with the addition of smoke rising from allegedly burning buildings. After that gaffe, Reuters promised to tighten up its controls on material being put out in its name.
The MIR-1 and MIR-2 submersibles, which were delivered to the then Soviet Academy of Sciences in late 1987, were built by the Oceanics subsidiary of the Finnish forest, metals, and shipbuilding concern Rauma-Repola. Made of specially hardened steel and weighing 18 tons, and capable of diving to 6,000 metres, the mini-subs were a hugely impressive accomplishment. Only three other submarines were equipped to work at such extreme depths, which allowed access to 98% of the world's oceans.
The sale caused some political shockwaves at the time, as The Pentagon and the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) did not look kindly on the export of such high technology items behind the Iron Curtain, fearing the submersibles could have a strategic application. After it became clear that the devices would actually work, considerable pressure was brought to bear on President Mauno Koivisto by his US counterpart George Herbert Walker Bush and others, but the project went through as planned. Rauma-Repola, which had much to lose in its offshore oil-platform business if hit by sanctions, quietly backed away from further work on submarines and the Oceanics subsidiary was wound up. The Rauma-Repola CEO at the time Tauno Matomäki later commented in an interview that the decision had been prompted by pressure from Washington and the CIA.
The Synopsis of "Homer's Paternity Coot" which is the tenth episode of The Simpsons' seventeenth season:
After Marge
and Lisa see a commercial for a store that sells damaged items from fires for
cheap prices, they set off immediately. However, when they're on the highway,
they see that there's a new toll booth that charges seventy-five cents. Not
wanting to pay, Marge takes a backroad. Other drivers see her doing it and
follow her. Mayor Quimby is angry that no one is using the toll booth and blocks
off the backroad. The next week, Marge is back driving and sees that she now
cannot avoid the toll. Also, she can't back up because of tire spikes on the
road. When she finally gets to the booth, she refuses to pay and backs up. The
bumper backs into the car behind her, and soon, everyone's tires run into the
spikes. The damaged tires are taken to the Springfield Tire Fire, and the smoke
travels to Mount Springfield, causing some snow to melt. On the news, it is
revealed that a frozen mailman from 1966 was trapped in the mountain for forty
years. The old mail is delivered, including a letter for Mona Simpson, Homer's
mother. It is from her old lifeguard boyfriend, whose name begins with an M, who
writes that if Mona replies to the letter, she has chosen him, and if she
doesn't, she is choosing to stick with Abe. But he also writes that "in his
heart he'll know that the baby in her belly is his."
Homer goes to the library to find his supposed father by looking in "Lifeguards
of Springfield in the Twentieth Century." The only person in there whose name
begins with M is Mason Fairbanks. Homer goes to his relatively large house
pretending to be a reporter. He tells him that he's interviewing people who wear
sweaters, and he is let inside. Mason shows him around his home, and he even
shows him his ship, The Son I Never Knew. Homer eventually tells him that
he thinks that he is his father, and Mason is delighted. He takes Homer and the
rest of the family (excluding Grampa) on a ride on his ship and tells them the
story of a lost emerald treasure. The family is impressed with him, but when
they come home, Grampa is angry that Homer would even think that Mason could be
his real father. They decide to have a DNA test, and after a suspenseful wait,
it is revealed that Homer's real father is Mason Fairbanks.
While Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie are having an awkward, uneventful visit with
Grampa, Mason and Homer are underwater (which is terribly polluted by nuclear
waste) in their own individual submarines looking for the lost treasure. Homer
gets separated from Mason, and he follows a small light that he thinks is him.
It is actually a glowing fish, but it's too late, because Homer gets stuck in
some coral. His oxygen begins to run out, and he starts to see flashbacks
including him and Abe. When his last bit of oxygen runs out, the last thing he
sees is Mason heading towards him. When he wakes up, he's in the hospital, and
Bart tells him that he's been in a coma for three days. When they all leave,
Grampa comes in the room and tells Homer that he switched the labels on the DNA
samples, and that he wanted Homer to be happy. They share an emotional moment,
and it is official: Abe is Homer's real father. The episode ends with Mason
teaching Homer not to touch the stove.

I made a probative video collage based on "Homer's Paternity Coot", but it is not any more available in YouTube due to a copyright claim by Viacom?! Well, maybe the Fox Corporation is more human after all, since they have even retracted the claim on one of my video. Besides, in 1953, the 20th Century Fox used footage in their Titanic movie from earlier German kino-version of same disaster without crediting "the Nazis" with original material. Cicero once said that nihil est veritatis luce dulcius, but the farce of believers continues in the dark deep waters:
Rejoice! Rejoice you all little complacent sadistic jerks who thought that you are so smart and I must be so wrong! Now it's "official" that Marje Jack is my biological mother: above you can see the document which confirms that we "share the similar little markers in our DNA and therefore we are mother and son with all probability".
The Department of Forensic Medicine of University of Helsinki has delivered this fine piece of faked document. I don't know how they fixed the forging of it, but I was supposed to pay for the test before they present me with the results. HOWEVER, their secretary made a mistake and the worthless and false results were send to me by mail without any bill: only an idiotic card that says "with the compliments of Miss Andrews" was missing from the envelope.
When I made a contact with Minttu Hedman and told her about their invoice clerk's little error plus that I don't believe in the results, she offered the second test for free. Only this time they would take the saliva samples in stead of blood samples. But what's the difference! It's all clear now: certain conspirators can trick and torture even children, but the authorities don't care a damn! There is no neutral zone where I could find objective and competent help, just playgrounds for sadistic games. I give up. Therefore, again, pour scorn on me, for now you have your bullet-proof proof against the truth and I cannot prove anything! I couldn't live, suffer and die in silence like a Carthusian monk: like anybody, I have been looking for the signs of better life that is legitimately ours, but now there is no more hope! I've had it. I will not suffer this stupidity anymore: I'm not able to do or control any testing laboratory work myself and resemblance or lack of it seems to mean nothing! I'm just a simple layman who can only trust in his own instincts and I do sense that someone is lying a lot. Julie Andrews and her management could already break their guilty silence before I ruin everything by exaggerating.
Below you can see a letter where Professor Antti Sajantila confirms that there has been a "mailing-error" and suggests the second test for free:
Is there something rotten in the state of Finland? I don't say that Finnish society is corrupt. Our society is even worse: it's politicized. For too long we had been on our knees in front of our eastern neighbour. As the first four numbers of my social security number reveal (0711), the birthday of the Great Socialist Experiment was chosen to be my official birthday. When I recognized my true mother, who is not this Marje Liisa Jack, nothing less happened than the complete fall of the Soviet Empire when the Russians returned to their motherland, but October 1st, '49, is still a big holiday in "liberated" Tibet. A movie called "Citizen X" (D: Chris Gerolmo, 1995) tells "a true story" about the pursuit of a Russian serial killer during the last days of The Soviet Union, and at one point the main suspect, who happens to be the member of the Communist Party that is still in charge, is released due to the fact that a false DNA-test has proven his innocence, and therefore more children have to die before the final confession. My question: what these swindlers are trying to keep alive here in Helsinki? Must I really die before this frustrating idiocy is over for my part?
Am I now too harsh in my judgement? After all, Chairman Mao Zedong's papal pronouncement only says "on his honour and conscience" that they cannot exclude possibility that Marje Jack, Mrs '49, could be my biological mother. Well, is she or isn't she? In early June 2006, Minttu Hedman will participate in the biennial conference of the English Speaking Working Group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics:
Friday, June 9th, 2006
III Refugee family reunion by
DNA analysis
Chairman: Minttu Hedman
15.30-16.00 Peter de Knijff:
“The experience from Netherlands”
16.00-16.30 Niels Morling: ”Genetic testing in immigration cases in Denmark”
16.30-16.45 A.O. Karlsson: “DNA-testing for immigration cases: What is the risk
of errors?”
At least certain Janet from Netherlands, the moderator of JulieAndrews.org Discussion Forum, must be very satisfied now. The participants of the upcomming biennial conference of Forensic Genetics are "encouraged to present posters during the meeting and the organizing committee will select some of the posters for oral presentations". The all-time worst Finnish movie ever made is an underground Maoist piece of junk called "Julisteiden liimaajat" (D: Raimo O. Niemi, 1970) that would mean "they who paste the posters".
On the 23rd of May, 2006, the new samples of my and Marje's DNA were taken. Since I am paying for the test results this time, I can afford to be optimistic that they won't insult me with future lies. Poor silly little Grandma Anni: she often donated to the Pentecostal missionary work in Taiwan.
But if the results are again just a letter from Beijing, they didn't probably even bother to analyse the samples. The DNA test is just like embalming: if you won't open the grave later, you are not able to know whether they really performed it or not. Therefore, I might as well present the prologue of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (D: Steven Spielberg, 1984) as "a proof", but nobody would believe me. What can we then see below? Have they found the ashes of Hitler that were buried under Anni's oven? Not quite, for just a silly Fu Manchu character has got the remains of the first Manchu emperor, but he doesn't want to pay for it. Since it's Shanghai, 1935, there must also be a blonde singer and a lot of fans. What's that, is it the Pink Panther, or even one of those diamonds that were stolen from the von Hessen family? Naturally somebody gets poisoned. Hmm--Ming the Merciless (Max von Sydow)--sister moon--brother sun--me--and Tero. Finally, somebody is playing with a submachine gun, and his shooting target seems to be an object that is ring-round in shape like those things that cover the wells.
So, this time I paid the bill. But did I receive anything I could accept? Something like the document below where the sergeant of Hitler's Expeditionary Forces in Finland had the decency to acknowledge a Finnish woman's still unborn child--
--of course not! What a day of wrath again. I don't know who is lying, who is acting in good faith but misled, and who is simply stupid. All I know is that Marje Jack is not my biological mother. Should I just give up and drop out? Should I let the treacherous weeds repress my feelings? Thank God there is a deadline for every misery, but it seems that no matter what I do, the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay will receive justice before they relieve me of uncertainty in this "people's republic". I must prepare myself for the worst ending scenario. It would go like this:
1) First they sue me for "defamation of character", though, only a liar's honour needs protection.
2) I shall not pay them a penny but I shall go to prison where I shall go on hunger strike.
You don't begin a hunger strike in protest of something in order to hurt yourself but to appeal to somebody's conscience. Undoubtedly Julie Andrews's management could easily find someone who is stupid enough to shovel shit on my face, but since all I need is a little attention from my (ignorant?) mother, I sincerely hope that we don't have to find out that do I have the Irish guts to go through the most desperate option, although "the final report" leaves the old lies unchanged. It's all below. Please, read it yourself.
...yours, Mikko Jack
"USA wants Jack back dead!"
At least anybody can see without DNA samples that Kiefer and Donald Sutherland are son & father.
He who will open the tomb found,
And will come to close it promptly,
Evil will come to him, and one will be unable to prove,
If it would be better to be a Breton or Norman King.
