In the beginning Seppo Lehto was alone

The internet has been an efficient propaganda tool used by the Finnish far right since the Nineties. Originally the extremely elaborate methods of online propaganda known as trolling and spamming were developed by a highly efficient genius known as Seppo Lehto. Seppo Lehto was a workaholic and a genius.

He managed to fill the Finnish language internet with extremist propaganda about taking back Karelia from Russia all by himself. Alone.

Every mailing list was full of propaganda written by Seppo Lehto. Each discussion forum was full of propaganda written by Seppo Lehto.

Blogs provided the great technological innovation that Seppo Lehto needed in order to complete the technological set of tools he needed for total control of the Internet. Soon the Finnish-speaking Internet was full of propaganda blogs written by Seppo Lehto.

First there was Seppo, but then he wasn't alone any more. The second far right pioneer in the Finnish language internet was Klaus von Grewendorp, who certainly seemed Finnish, but apparently had taken the role of a German noble for some arcane trolling purpose. In the beginning Seppo Lehto and Klaus von Grewendorp were brothers in arms and struggled together for the liberation of Karelia.

Seppo Lehto and Klaus von Grewendorp soon found that they had irreconcilable ideological differences. Nobody knows what caused the first Total War between two giants of Finnish Internet Nazi. Seppo Lehto and Klaus von Grewendorp were soon locked in a flame war that could only end in total destruction of one of the parties. There would be no surrender.

Now the Finnish internet was full of extremely efficient propaganda  bullets that Seppo Lehto and Klaus von Grewendorp were shooting at each other. Many innocent recipients of extremely effective propaganda became casualties.

While the giants were engaged in their epic struggle, a new but determined and gifted internet nazi organization arrived in the field. It was called Suomen Sisu, an organization of exactly 20 young and enthusiastic Finnish internet nazis.

But in the beginning all they had was a discussion board that as mercilessly provocative national socialism as possible, but still a mere  pale imitation of the truly epic floods of spam that the giants were shooting at each other.

In the early stage the only user of the Suomen Sisu discussion board who had epic powers was Esa Tabermann. The man had been ideologically indoctrinated by Pekka Siitoin, the grand master of pre-internet Finnish nazism. Esa Tabermann was able to write realistic descriptions of a total holocaust for the great pleasure of the other Suomen Sisu members.

His fantasies of concentration camps and mass executions became one of the elements that made Suomen Sisu the efficient merciless nazi cyberwar machine it is today. Esa Tabermann called the fantasy a Great Dream. He forged the iron spine that made the organization what it is today.

There were other early members who brought their great gifts to the movements, such as Riku Hautala, who had graduated with a degree of a doctor specializing in Nazi medicine even before he was in high school. Riku Hautala was always happy to help his national socialist brothers in arms with suitable medications and battlefield amputations.

And the movement had a magically gifted web designer Skywolf, who was able to channel the spirits of the brave warriors who had fallen in the Battle of Stalingrad to the web pages of the movement, therefore giving the site invulnerability to hacking attempts by communists.

The goal of Suomen Sisu was to become the ultimate power in the universe, but how could this goal be reached? This would require a different kind of genius. That genius would change the tide of history in a few years.
