Are You a Jedi or Darth Vader? — Faith, Love, and the Force in Your Life (Part 3)

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 [https://www.sashatobago.com/listen/episode/7b4dbaa0/are-you-a-jedi-or-darth-vader-faith-love-and-the-force-in-your-life-part-1]" 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?

Finland Just Gave the Middle Finger to America, Thailand and Solanas (Dirty Rotten Finland Series)

What’s annoying to me — and should be annoying to the people of Thailand, and the government of Thailand, and the royalty of Thailand — is that a country of five million people — Finland is a small country, doesn’t have a lot of people — had the audacity to try to carry out an assassination on your soil. They tried to kill an American journalist and make it look like an accident in your country.  A small, tiny country of Finland basically just gave the middle finger to all of the Thai military, to all of the Thai royal family, to all of the Thai people. I mean, I like Thailand. I like people in Thailand. I love Thai food. I love Thai iced tea.  I’m not Thai, but I am insulted on behalf of Thailand that this small, tiny Eastern European country — because Finland doesn’t operate like a Nordic country. Finland is right next door to Russia. It used to be part of the USSR. It acts like an Eastern European country. And as someone who’s been to Finland, it looks like an Eastern European country. It feels like an Eastern European country. It is an Eastern European country.  So the fact that this tiny, Eastern European, neo-Nazi country had the audacity to try to carry out a hit in Thailand, the Land of Smiles, is an insult to every Thai person, to the Thai government, to the Thai military, and to the Thai royal family. And let’s not even get started on the fact that they tried to take out an American. The country I come from has 350 million people.  Your country, Finland, isn’t even large enough to compete with some of our biggest cities. New York City has more people than your whole entire country does. You had the audacity to try to kill an American journalist who hails from a country of three hundred and fifty million people. And then let’s go even further.  I’m Solana.  Solana is the Divine name for my people. My people being formerly known as Black American, African American, etc.  So I’m Solana. The number of Solanas in this world dwarfs the number of people in Finland. There are approximately 60 million Solanas in this world.  You had the audacity to mess with a Solana. You had the audacity to mess with an American. And you had the audacity to mess with Thailand. All of whom have populations that are massively bigger than yours.  All of whom have GDPs that are massively bigger than yours. The fact that this small, tiny, corrupt, neo-Nazi country had the audacity to mess with Thailand, to mess with America, and to mess with Solanas is jarring. And the biggest thing that it is messing with is the Divine.  The Divine knew everything you were planning. The Divine saw everything you were doing. In another episode, I’m going to talk about why the Divine allowed this to happen. Why did the Divine let this happen to me, and why am I not overly upset about it?  I will talk about that in an upcoming episode. Got a question, comment or story related to this episode? Text me!

An Open Letter to the People of Finland — Your Interior Minister Just Tried to End an American Journalist's Life on May 8 in Thailand (Dirty Rotten Finland Series)

On May 8, 2026, your government's Ministry of the Interior tried to end the life of an American journalist via a covert SUPO (Finland's CIA) operation in Thailand. That American journalist was me, Sasha Tobago. They tried to make my death look like a traffic accident.  But they failed.... As I detail on my website [https://www.sashatobago.com/worldly/are-you-a-jedi-or-darth-vader-faith-love-the-force-in-your-life-part-1] and on this podcast [https://www.sashatobago.com/listen/episode/7b4dbaa0/are-you-a-jedi-or-darth-vader-faith-love-and-the-force-in-your-life-part-1], SUPO utilized the Grab rideshare app as a tool of death, to try to silence: 1. My voice as a journalist.  2. My voice as the victim of a crime in Finland in October 2024 [https://www.sashatobago.com/listen/episode/7d9b3232/robbed-in-finland-the-ugly-truth-about-the-worlds-so-called-happiest-country-happiness-part-2]. 3. My voice as the witness to police corruption and collusion in Finland at all levels. SUPO is overseen by Juha Martelius. His boss is Mari Rantanen.... All roads lead to Mari Rantanen – a career police officer whose ex-husband, Mika, died in a "traffic accident" in 2022. Which begs the question: How much did her boss, prime minister Petteri Orpo, know before Mari gave Juha M and his SUPO agents the order, and used Finnish public tax dollars to (attempt to) permanently silence an American journalist on foreign soil in Thailand? The same Petteri Orpo whose political party harassed Finnish journalist, Ida Eramaa, on social media with threats of physical and sexual violence [https://www.coe.int/en/web/commissioner/-/online-threats-against-finnish-journalist-ida-er%C3%A4maa-should-be-investigated-and-condemned], just three years ago in 2023. I ask you, the noble people, officials, legislators and prosecutors of Finland, to impeach and remove this gang of evil, corrupt and homicidal officials from public office immediately. So no one else's daughter or son ends up in a morgue. I encourage you to investigate the criminal collusion and political corruption they are so desperate to cover up.  Investigate why, as of October 2024, rental car companies were not allowed to install security cameras inside the rental car parking garage at the Helsinki Airport. The same parking garage where I was robbed by professional thieves – or SUPO agents? — in broad daylight.  Investigate what other crimes are taking place in that parking garage, by night and day, that Rantanen and her Juhas do not want you or the global public to know about. So much so that they tried to end the life of this American journalist just a few days ago. Investigate other people linked to Mari's cabal who have died in a "traffic accident" in Finland or abroad. The same way her ex-husband died; and the same way they tried to kill me in Phuket, Thailand. Investigate the movement of SUPO agents and Finnish diplomats traveling in, out and around Asia, Thailand and Phuket the past few weeks and months.  Including the men, pictured on my website, who had me under close surveillance in the days leading up to May 8, 2026: The day I almost died at the evil hands of your government's highest public officials.
