Above this text is the painting, what can be found from Hakaniemi subway station Helsinki, and it has a very good message for the people. The name of the artist is in the painting. When some granny starts to feed the rat, there would be many other rats, what would like to get that food. And here we must ask, why only one of those rats would get the gift? Is that rat better than other, and if it is better, why it is better? Nice thing to think, when we are looking at the rats, who are enjoying the protection of the people. When we are thinking about the rats, we are same time think the thing, what is called as an informer.
The informer is called "the rat" in the underworld. And there are millions of detective stories, where the police are paying money for informers. When we are thinking about the gift, we must ask, what makes that person the informer, who gives information for money to the police? Why this particular person is so trusted, that the information, what is shared by this informer makes the operation possible? What is so special in those so-called trusted informers?
When I see this kind of paintings, I remember the old story, what I sometimes heard a long time ago. The name of that story was "the Girl who housed the mice". This story told about the girl, whose house and later in the body the mice made the hotbed, and as you might know, this was the vampire story from old Transylvania. In this story, the mice took the food to the girl, who lay in the coffin, and this vampire girl sent those mice for making the jobs for her. And as you might guess, the vampire slayer found that girl and killed her by using the wooden stick, what was pulled thru the heart.
This is one way to see the use of the informants. The official organization just delivers its job to the assistants and makes nothing, but when we are looking closely at that kind of arrangements would cause the situation, that official police would not make anything, but the assistance of the organization would operate very brutal way. This was the deal in Iraq during Saddam's rule. The official police worked very nice way, but the Baath party armed wing made the political pogroms possible. So the police were clean, but the assistance made many crimes in Saddam's period. The weaponized wing of the Baath party used electric shocks and another kind of torture for the political resistant of the leading party of Iraq.
