How do you know you are effective?

As a blogger it is important to know that your campaigns are effective. How do you gauge your success?

Our recent campaign to expose the worst lawyer and the worst real estate agency in Oulu has been an outstanding success. But two people (Kari Kantakoski of Kari Kantakoski Oy and Eva Pitkänen of Huoneistokeskus Oy) are totally oblivious of this as they live in their own make believe world trying to make a fast buck and cheat the owners of the property. They had banded together (as birds of a feather) to put "wrong" and "incomplete" information about a house on the internet, trying to get rid of it at a very low price. This was rejected by all the shareholders of that property.

Not only did the two of them illegally break into the house, change the locks and lock out the real owners, they tried to stop all the renovation which would have attracted the real buyers. In addition, not knowing anything about the history of the property, they put wrong and false information about the property on the internet, missing vital information which would have made the property a hot potato!

Reason - GREED!

Eeva Pitkänen of Huoneistokeskus Oy, rated by us as the Worst Real Esate Agency in Finland, sent an email to "her" client, the Worst Rated Lawyer in Finland, Kari Kantakoski, that the web page of house (Kampitie 6 B, Nokela, Oulu 90160), that they were illegally trying to sell as a dilapidated structure, had 2000 hits, of which only 3 people contacted them and only 1 person visited the site and went away seeing the situation!

Would anyone who took the time and trouble to maintain the garden in a pristine condition leave the inside of a house in a dilapidated condition, unless they were forced to?

What these two scamsters do not realise is that when people Google this particular site, not only does the page about the property appear, but also their ratings as the worst real estate agency and the worst lawyer appear alongside.

Who would want to do business with such a team of scoundrels!

Yes, the Oulu Best (Worst) Buy page can claim that it is making a difference!

Our web pages always come out at the very top in Google!

The Supreme Court rejoinder with the correct and legitimate enclosures exposing the trickster, Kari Kantakoski, is now in the hands of the Supreme Court as well as the Lawyer's Association of Finland!

Oulu buses and prices

I had not travelled as a paying passenger in a bus for a long long time.

My first seven years in Oulu, when I was working at the University, I travelled by bus.

When I arrived here in 1984, the fare from the Kampitie doorstep to the University (route 33), right across town, was just 3 marks (about € 0,50). Then I started to use a bus pass and the cost per journey was hardly € 0,10 as I used the pass many times a day.

I was not very happy with the weekend service and wrote a blistering article about it way back in 1991.

When I started using the car, first a VW Beetle, then a great Opel and then several other wonderful cars till my latest 1992 VW Vento, I hardly used the bus.

I used the service extensively when grandson Samuel was a toddler (1998-2000). But, in Oulu, we have a great rule that when accompanying a toddler in a push chair, neither has to pay the fare. I used to criss cross the city with him looking at all sorts of things as machines, cement churners, road rollers, dump trucks, cranes, as he used to be fascinated by them.

Finally, the other day, I gave my car for some work. I realised the bus stand was just outside my favourite garage, and there is a direct bus home.

Once on board I paid the fare - € 2,90.

An increase from € 0,50 to € 2,90 in 25 years seemed a bit steep to me. My pension vis-á-vis my salary in 1984 has not gone up by the dame ratio!

I cannot say whether the bus service has improved or not based on a couple of trips.

I can say the new technologies that are in play - bus arrival schedules at major bus stops along the route, the RFID bus cards (I was the actor in the first video of BUSCOM, reading the Financial Times in the Technology Village Cafe), and the modern bus fleet, certainly seems to indicate that it is a good service.

But worth the € 2,90 for a trip. Certainly not!

Worst / worst communicate

The worst real estate agency in Oulu, Houneistokeskus, communicated with the worst lawyer in Oulu, Kari Kantakoski, that although there were many hits to their page about the house in Nokela at Kampitie 6 B, NOT ONE person had bothered to communicate to Huoneistokeskus.

Would anyone in their right senses communicate with Huonesitokeskus when they see their rating as the worst real estate agency in Oulu and when they see they are associated with the worst lawyer in Oulu, Kari Kantakoski?

Go and see the web page describing the house at Kampitie 6 B. ALL the information about the house is WRONG.

I know, as I lived in that house for 24 years and was involved with all the major renovations over the years.

In addition, Kari Kantakoski is so desperate to sell the house to take the money into his own bank account, he is cutting all the corners to try to get the house sold.

Huoneistokeskus came up with a ridiculous offer, which all the members of the Death Estates rejected outright.

Kari Kantakoski has no right to sell the property. He also used the "Enforcement Act" to cheat Huoneistokeskus, the Oulu Police and a locksmith by the name of Securi Oulun Lukko to break into the house when he saw that the owners were in the process of renovating it. That the Oulu Police is the most corrupt force in Finland, led by a corrupt leader, Police Chief Veli-Erkki Ware, is well known.

It is also a hilarious Police Force, the laughing stock of the world, which test drivers for alcohol in their own bedrooms! I know, as I ( a complete teetotaler) was the one tested!

Kari Kantakoski ordered the renovation company to stop the work, which they rightfully refused. His intention was to show the outside and inside of the house in a dilapidated condition to sell the house at a low price.

As he has illegally locked out the owners, the inside cannot now be renovated.

Which real estate company, other than one with an agenda against the real owners, will show a house in a dilapidated condition saying that the buyers may want to renovate it differently?

That statement was made by Eeva Pitkanen of Huoneistokeskus! It really took the cake!

All the friends of the owners, who have expressed interest to buy the house will not conclude the deal with Huoneistokeskus and Kari Kantakoski as Kari Kantakoski has closed the bank account of the Death Estate and transferred it to his own name so that he could enjoy the proceeds of the sale of Kampitie 6 B by himself without giving a penny to the owners.

It is strange the Oulun Osuuspankki allowed this to happen. It must be that Kari Kantakoski is in league with the bank management for this to occur.

I have in my possession two statements from the Oulun Osuuspankki, one from the company banking section and another from the private customer banking section, that no account for the specific Death Estate is with the bank.

Kari Kantakoski is, however, writing to authorities that there is a bank account. Only it is in his own name with the Death Estate members having no access to the account!

Kari Kantakoski has falsified documents in both the Oulu Technical Centre and the Oulu Lower Court. This came to light only recently.

A rejoinder was filed yesterday in the Supreme Court of Finland which provides all the evidence of the malpractice of Kari Kantakoski as a lawyer.

Two complaints against Kari Kantakoski are also being looked into by the Lawyer's Association of Finland. But knowing the "brotherhood" attitude of such organisations not to take action against their fellow "brothers" not much can be expected out of that quarter.

The real justice will come when the court actions, two of them now in the Supreme Court, move to Europe as there are many violation of the Human Rights Convention!

In the meantime, "Inheritance Nightmare" is taking final shape. It is a great book, although I say it myself as an author.

ICE - In Case of Emergency

I received this very important email from a dear friend, which I felt should have the widest publicity, so I am putting it on all my major blogs:

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign

The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case Of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and Hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE."

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!

Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about this It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest .

Remember:- ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.

Thank you, Naval, for this wonderful input.

Worst locksmith company in Oulu

If you are looking for a locksmith, please stay away from Securi Oulun Lukko, which is a company that does not respect the rule of law and will stoop to underhand techniques to do the bidding of the power brokers. They break into houses, they break locks, and their staff lie!

In a recent case where they were caught red-handed, their staff member was leaving the premises they had broken into leaving the front door of the house wide open and lockless!

They break into houses illegally and fix insecure locks ignoring the insurance aspects of the house and the associated houses - just so that they can fulfill the wishes of their rich clients!

In fact, they are so thoughtless they endanger the lives of people and property, just to make a few quick bucks! They look at the law through their open fingers!

If you need more details, do read my book which is available in both English and Finnish. You can read the synopsis at:

Inheritance Nightmare

Perintöpainajainen
ISBN 978-952-67270-1-1

Worst House sales /Rental Agencies

If you are planning to buy or sell your house, please avoid Huoneistokeskus, whose objective is not to look after the house owners or buyers but only to get the best return for themselves, ignoring all tenets of the law!

They will side with those who have "power" rather than look into the issues concerning the buying or selling of a property.

For more details do read my book which is available in both English and Finnish. the Synopsis is available at:

Inheritance Nightmare
ISBN 978-952-67270-0-4

ISBN 978-952-67270-1-1

So be prepared for trouble if you use their services.

Worst lawyers in Oulu

Based on my experience of the last 25 years I rate these three as the WORST lawyers in Oulu. Please stay out of their clutches or you will have trouble - big time!

1. Kari Kantakoski / Asianajotoimisto Kari Kantakoski Oy
2. Jorma Herttuainen / Lakiasiaintoimisto Jorma Herttuainen
3. Timo Nikula / Asianajotoimisto Nikula Timo Ky

Before you go to any lawyer in Oulu, please call me as we have experiences with many and there is not much difference. Usually one is worse than the other.

It is a brotherhood, so do not expect much legal service from any of the lawyers in Finland!

For more details of these three lawyers and also others whom we came across, read my book which will be available soon in both English and Finnish languages.

If you think you can get help from the Lawyer's Association, in case you have trouble with any lawyer, think again, as the Association appears to exist to cover the backsides of the lawyers and NOT to mete out justice. One complaint has now been "handled" for 9 months while the lawyer continues to rape his "client".

Another big problem is the Oikeusaputoimistos (Legal Help Service), which is in the main staffed with ignorant lawyers who just show their faces to collect their fees.

We have had experiences with this service from 1985 when Annikki and I had to prepare the brief and also appear in the Court in a case where the lawyer from this service did nothing but collect his fee! If she had not done this, a psychiatric patient would have been sent to prison rather than given psychiatric care!

But, as far as our worst three are concerned, the three we have listed above rate amongst the worst in the world!

Inheritance Nightmare / PERINTÖPAINAJAINEN

My next book, which is being published simultaneously in English and Finnish (translation by Annikki), is going to be a blockbuster.

In 1994, I exposed the serious problems within the University of Oulu. That book, "Seven Years Hard Labour in a Finnish Holiday Camp - A Finnish Unversity" was the most pirate copied book in Finland that year.

The book jointly authored by Annikki and me in 1994, "Handbook for Survival in Finland", which was also only in English, was sold out within days of publication.

Both Annikki and I have been researching and writing on several subjects, but this book was always at the back of our minds from 1992 onwards.

Now is the opportune time. We decided to leap frog many other manuscripts to publish this one. It gives a deep insight into how corrupt the Finnish System has been and is, despite whatever Transparency International has been writing.

I give below the Synopsis and Contents in both Finnish and English.

Also the pre-ordering information is given at the end so you can save some money if your order is received before the books hit the shelves. The book is written, printed, published and sold directly by us so we can give you value for money instead of lining the pockets of publishers and booksellers. Authors get a measly 10% after several years!

We do hope you will enjoy this book. The sequel "Last Will and Testament" by me will follow soon thereafter. That is a momumental work. It will not be published in Finnish.

INHERITANCE NIGHTMARE
(ISBN 978-952-67270-0-4)
by
Jacob Matthan
Author of the 1994 brilliant exposé
“Seven Years Hard Labour
in a Finnish Holiday Camp
- A Finnish University”

Synopsis

Like all the author’s books so far, this book is NOT fiction. It is the recording of the modern day repetition of Victor Hugo’s “Les Misérables” in Finland in the 2000s!

The author comes from a country which is the home of corruption. According to Transparency International, Finland is supposedly one of the least corrupt countries in this world.

This intricate narration of this true story, covering almost 10 years, shows the extent of malaise in the Finnish System - the judiciary, the police, the bureaucrat, the media, the banks, and above all the lawyers, who are supposedly there to uphold the rights of the innocent. It is a brotherhood network!

Kari Kantakoski is supposedly “a leading lawyer” in Oulu. The intrigue that he has been involved in to get the lion’s share of the inheritance of the family of a carpenter and his wife is still an on-going saga.

The level of audacity increased with each passing day as this lawyer flaunted the law using his “friends” in high places.

Justice Delayed is Justice Denied!

The Lawyer’s Association, supposedly to root out people like Kari Kantakoski, appears to be just a big joke! Kantakoski laughs at this organisation as he knows they would not lift a finger to indict him! The Association has been “investigating” this matter for 9 months while Kari Kantakoski carries on his plundering!

In Finland, the only recourse to justice is publicity, the internet, in particular. Certainly not via the Finnish media, as it is also part of the corrupt establishment.

This book, which will be on the internet and the shelves (in English and Finnish) in a few weeks, highlights in the greatest detail (with every supporting document) each step of the process of having to fight a corrupt system in which the height of corruption is the legal profession in this country.

Lawyers may be the butt of many jokes. That is not without sound reason.

The author leaves it to the reader to draw one’s own conclusions as to what is right or wrong, what is corruption and what is not, what is legal and what is illegal.

It is a sad sad tale.

If Transparency International were to look at this and many thousands of similar cases, Finland would lie 180th in the 180 countries that are reported on by them!

“Seitsemän vuotta kovaa työtä suomalaisella loma leirillä
- Suomalainen Yliopisto”
loistavan palastuskirjan kirjoittaja 1994

Tiivistelmä

Kuten kaikki kirjailijan kirjat tähän mennessä, tämä kirja ei ole Fiktio. Se on Viktor Hugon kirjan “KURJAT!” kaltaisten tapahtumien toisto Suomessa 2000 luvulla!

Kirjailija tulee maasta, joka on korruption kotimaa. Transparency International’in mukaan Suomen oletetaan olevan yksi maailman vähiten korruptoituneita maita.

Tämä mutkikas tosi kertomus, kestoltaan melkein kymmenen vuotta osoittaa suomalaisen systeemin pahoinvoinnin laajuutta - oikeuslaitos, poliisi, byrokraatti, media, pankit ja ennen kaikkea asianajajat, joiden pitäisi olla viattomien oikeuksien puolustajia. Se on veljeskuntaverkosto!

Kari Kantakosken oletetaan olevaan “huomattava asainajaja” Oulussa. Sotku, jossa hän on mukana saadakseen leijonan osuuden kirvesmiehen ja hänen vaimonsa perheen perinnöstä on yhä meneillään oleva tapahtumaketju.

Röyhkeyden taso nousee päivä päivältä, kun tämä asianajaja lailla pöyhkeillen käyttää “ystävään” korkeilla paikoilla.

Viivytys oikeudessa kieltää oikeuden

Asianajajien Liitto, jonka oletetaan kitkevän juurineen Kari Kantakosken kaltaisia henkilöitä, näyttää olevan iso vitsi. Kantakoski nauraa tälle järjestölle tietäen etteivät he nostaisi sormeakaan syyttäkseen häntä mistään. Liitto on tutkinut tätä asiaa 9 kuukautta. Sillä välin Kari Kantakoski jatkaa ryöstelyä!

Suomessa ainoa oikeuden turva on julkisuus, internetti erityisesti, eikä varmasti suomalaisen median kautta, koska se on myös osa korruptia valtajärjestelmää.

Tämä kirja, joka tulee internettiin ja hyllyille (englanniksi ja suomeksi) muutamassa viikossa, korostaa mitä suurimmassa määrin (kaikkea tukevilla dokumenteilla) joka askelta prosessissa, jonka joutuu taistelemaan korruptiossa systeemissä, minkä korruption huippu on laillinen ammattikunta tässä maassa. Asianajajat voivat olla monen pilan kohde. Eikä syyttä.

Kirjoittaja jättää lukijalle tehdä omat johtopäätöksensä siitä mikä on oikein ja väärin, mikä on korruptiota mikä ei, mikä on laillista ja mikä on laitonta. Se on surullinen kertomus. Jos Transparency International näkisi tämän ja tuhansia muita samanlaisia tapauksia, joista he raportoivat, Suomi olisi sijalla 180 mukana olevista maista joita on 180!
