The new thinkers

January 31st, 2017 No comments

Well, as I see it, development is always, basically a moral thing. Take things from the past. When Henry David Thoreau developed the civil rights movement, with its civil disobedience credo, he did it because the slavestate the southern US was, was wrong. When Mahatma Ghandi liberated India, he did it, because the colonisation was […]

What is really important?

January 31st, 2017 No comments

When you are under pressure, you need to look a little inwards to accept and see WHY you are in trouble. Troubled times calls for reflection and understanding of the whys and the hows, so that you can find new solutions. One thing I truly believe ms. Clinton had right, was what was in herself. […]

New ways

January 30th, 2017 No comments

The media hysteria and the hysteria in other parts of the liberal part of our party is simply dishonouring. We lost, I fought hardest of all, I lost. But when you lose, you have to take it standing up. Otherwise it is just terribly embarrassing. I have never lost an election before, and yet this […]

International

January 30th, 2017 No comments

Well mr. trump. Things are moving in the right direction, but it is very difficult. Blitz politicising seems to be a good tactics, it leaves all the opponents a bit dumbfounded, but they will be back, with a vengeance. Anyway, I believe that the renewed positive friendship with Russia, is really the best thing come […]

War

January 28th, 2017 No comments

“Make no show of cowardice then on your part, seeing the greatness of the issues at stake, and I will show that what I preach to others I can practice myself”  Brasidas, Spartan leader in the Pelleponesian war. There seems to be some synergy going on in the international sphere of politics. A lot of […]

Holocaust

January 27th, 2017 No comments

It is truly difficult to be honest about things. One of the worst things that the world often faces, is the persecution of Jews. We Jews are not to be blamed for what people often think of as vile deeds. Antisemitism come in all shapes and forms. From the most base, to an advanced one […]

Antisemitism in Europe

January 26th, 2017 No comments

The antisemitism is slowly rearing its head again in Europe. Seventy years after the last round. These ideas are totally wrong. I mean, we Jews are not perfect. We are a warring, intelligent, money hoarding, soft hearted very religious people that have the dubious honour to have founded all religions. Mostly. This has led to […]

Migration

January 25th, 2017 No comments

Ok, so now we are talking migration, whatever the political stance, everybody agrees that something has to be done about it. In Europe, in the US. But what do we do? As a Democrat in the US, I think what we need to do, is to insist on a human process. It should be done […]

Tyranny

January 24th, 2017 No comments

The core of democratic philosophy is about finding freedom. The idea is, that if you tie yourself to the law, and make those laws yourself, that is, the people make them. Then you are free. This is it. The tradition harks all the way back to Greece where Athens was the democratic ideal. But it […]

Development

January 24th, 2017 No comments

When I started my career as a philosopher, it was all in a pub called “The Danish pub”. I remember I laid out my freshly minted ideas for the gawking public of assorted freedom fighters there. Among them a lot of Americans in fact. It was a “Nicea Gathering” moment. From that point of the […]

IS strategies

January 23rd, 2017 No comments

Well, there are several issues we have to take into consideration regarding the fight against IS. The world has truly changed due to the changing fortunes of media, so we are a lot more free in applying force around the globe. We do not need to be too worried about a media backlash. What we […]

The new world

January 23rd, 2017 No comments

The world has truly changed. In the old order media, academia and culture had the most power. This led to a world where the agendas of the liberal camp were dominant. As the medias have changed due to social media and the Internet in general, these old power structures have changed. Whereas the liberal camp […]

Strategy

January 21st, 2017 No comments

It is kind of strange, that much of the politics that I have advised mr. Obama to do in the last six years, seem to be the core of mr. Trumps candidacy. That is a fight against IS and a renewed focus on american worker jobs. In that sense, the next four years at least […]

To do what is right

January 20th, 2017 No comments

When you live your life as a person, as a nation or as a federation, you are often confronted with two options, to choose what is right or to choose what is easy. Most people, honestly, chose what is easy. They carry on, and save all the trouble for those few individuals who chose to […]

Mr. Trump

January 19th, 2017 No comments

Now, mr. Trump is heading for the oval office, actually my feeling is, he IS listening. Thank you Donald, this is undeserved, I fought you head to tail in the election and I do not deserve your attention. I pride myself for trying to hold a kind of even heading not slandering. But anyway, I […]

Russia

January 19th, 2017 No comments

When I first started blogging, I had a long kind of communication with mr. Putin. We so happen to share the same ideas of faith, and we share the fight for a rebirth of religion. This fight is as vivid in Denmark as it is in Russia. But different in Denmark, because here I am […]

Islamists

January 17th, 2017 No comments

As Joseph Conrad says, we all share the problem of liking the illusions. To save Europe, we need to come clear on certain things. This is a painful process, but if the democratic nations do not do it, other more sinister powers will do it in their stead. Enlightenment is the saviour. You cannot be […]

UK

January 17th, 2017 No comments

It is pretty clear that the UK is on a good course. Thank you mr. Trump, you just saved the UK from a depressing situation. This is huge in its implications. The new international bloq of the former British sovereign nations of Australia, New Zealand and the US is really a huge strengthening of Anglo […]

Truth

January 16th, 2017 No comments

In Europe, we are really in trouble. What is really wrong with us? I read a lot of Joseph Conrad. I would call myself a bit of a fanboy of mr. Conrad. His deep insight into human nature, his humanistic yet clearsighted view on things, his metaphysical stance. He is the best writer ever. He […]

A new brave world

January 16th, 2017 No comments

Ok, I have lost a great deal of power due to the change of government in the US. I supported ms. Clinton, because I was afraid mr. Trump would destroy the American democratic institutions. So far this is not the case, and so I was wrong. This leaves those who listen to me some different […]

Legacy

January 15th, 2017 No comments

It is now time to sum up the work of mr. Obama. Has he been such a catastrophe, or has he been a glorious leader? The answer is, that he has been a thoroughly, industrious and even illustrious leader. When he inherited the reins from mr. Bush, the US of A was in a dire […]

Leadership

January 14th, 2017 No comments

Well, welcome mr. Trump on the world stage. This is it, after a long and arduous campaign, that is finally subsiding. Things will change with a new president at the helm of the United States of America. For better, mostly. But there are some caveats that you should be aware of. First of all, some […]

Time to pick sides

January 13th, 2017 No comments

It makes me happy, that the Trump administration is making progress with mr. Putin. The more we collaborate on a senior level, the better it is for both our systems. Mr. Putin is not a communist. He is a Christian nationalist. Bless him for that. In that capacity, he will, and should fight against the […]

Goodbye mr. President

January 12th, 2017 No comments

Barack, this had been a looong fight. We did some good things, and we did some things, that did not work that good. But at least, we brought things forward, right? For me it has been a tremendous honour to participate in some of the things we have been doing together. In fact, being friends […]

The enemy is finding its allies

January 10th, 2017 No comments

Well the war is drawing closer, and all its allies are gearing up. Yesterday someone vandalised the mast of my little sailing boat. They picked up two of the lines holding the mast, making the mast fall onto some adjacent boats. The islamists and their allies are packing their gear and readying their weapons. I […]

The Freedom of our world

January 7th, 2017 No comments

2017 is about be be one of those pivotal years. The year where the populace finally had enough of bickering and the lack of action in the face of islamist violence. The pace is picking up now. Attack after attack after attack. In an endless stream, and this is just the beginning. In a conflict, […]

Balancing the books

January 3rd, 2017 No comments

Now mr. Trump is moving into the White House. Congratulations. We had a bit of a row, but I am truly happy that you made it. In contrary to many other liberals, I do not see mr. Trump as a problem. He is a warning from workers and other true Americans that we forgot them. […]

How to listen to the people

January 2nd, 2017 No comments

If you want to Change a system, you have to align the interest of the constituency, at the same time aligning the interest of the servants of the state. These two powerful parts of the society are not always in agreement with the direction of the state. One might want security and welthfare, the other […]
