Svinhufvud's Declaration

- Good Evening, to all our dedicated viewers! Today we are looking forward to listen to Professor Svinhuvfud's Declaration of the reasons behind and the motivation for the Anti-Santa-Terrorist Campaign. I welcome you Professor Svinhufvud!

- Thank you very much! What I have to say today is indeed very serious and nothing to laugh about! To long did we have given a blind eye towards this threat to society as we know it. This means that they have been able to infiltrate us for centuries and no one noticed. Yeh, of course the Gnome community immediately recognized these imposters as they tried to take the rightful place in society, reserved for the Gnome community.

It all started back 1087, as Barinese pirates went to Myra in Anatolia and stole the relics of St. Nicholaus and brought the bones back to Bari, Italy and built a huge church in Bari to celebrate the theft. No good start there, I'll tell you!

Nevertheless,, to make a long story a little bit shorter: the really big and seriously threatening infiltration started as the modern way of celebrating x-mas began in the beginning of the 20th Century. Suddenly there appeared a numerous of ways to mask oneself and go out to do bad things. The Santa disguise was perfect to conceal bombs, molotov-cocktails, guns, light artillery and suicide bombing devices. And the sack with the parcels! Unlimited possibilities! But now all this has to end. I plan to propose a binding law where it becomes forbidden to impersonate Santa. Instead this task will be transferred to the Gnome community and they will provide the public with the services of imposters we use today.

- We thank Professor Svinhufvud for this declaration! Something you want to add?

- Just that those who are eager to konow more just have to read our Manifesto of Shortness, where all is revealed. All in the name of the Great Gnome Master.
