I order to realize some true progress in the election in the UK, which, but the way is on track again. One also needs to address the question of economy.  The novel way mr. Cameron addressed this issue, has given a lot of good results in terms of economy and real jobs. That is what is […]

​To understand what is happening with the EU right now, one has to understand the reason to the problems.  This is not to point fingers, but simply to try and analyze the problems.  When Dion, the supporter of the Syracusan aristocracy and friend of Plato was exiled from Syracuse in 500 BC, he tried to […]

Europe is changing whether we want it or not, war is coming. It is already here. Not realizing this, is like the Second World War, just delaying the inevitable. Hitler has already blown the horn, and he is moving, with intent on Poland. As in the Second World War, what we need is not another Chamberlain, […]

We have covered the ideological basis of the fight against ISIS. It has been like that from the beginning, and will continue like that. It is an American lead democratic fight against an inhuman enemy. Something we saw in all simplicity in the attack in Manchester.  The power brokers of ISIS seems to have had […]

In the face of the Manchester attack, there is a bit of soul searching for all of Britain. And a bit of waking up.  In its essence, this is a philosophical discussion on the how’s and what’s of the conflict. It is really quite simple, if you look at it from outside. You were attacked by […]

It is with the utmost horror that I hear about the terror attack in Manchester. The unspeakable atrocities done there, and I do condemn them with all there is of any shred of decency in my soul. There is no excuse for killing innocent children. And we need to buckle up, shed the illusions and get […]

The UK is in a bit of a trouble. First of all, it is the very complicated divorce from the EU. In itself a mounting task. At the other hand, there are the requirements of the British public.  These two processes are in direct opposition.  First of all, I believe, that Ms. May is a […]

One of the true mysteries that I have pondered through the years is what good is. We talk about it all the time, and everybody, or most of us, wish to be good persons.  But do we know what good is?I know, because I have finally had a revelation reading the Platonic dialogue Protagoras. It […]

I have a clear shot on being the king of Israel. The timing is right, the prophesies are right, and I have the motivation.  But, the thing is, it ain’t over til the fat lady sings. Having a shot on something, is not the same as it being true.  I say this, because I do […]

I have given quite a lot of thought to the issue of, what do we do now. If we look at the Republican, they are in total chaos, because they have not accomplished a viable cooperation with Mr. Trump. This is not to say anything mean about Trump, he is what he is. It is […]

It seems to me, that there is a huge problem in Europe. The Islamist are truly arming up, the European Union is falling apart, and the questions are more than the answers.  In this case, my basic problem is, that there are so many political parties that I am invested in, and I am in […]

It is with an absolute disgrace I see the video where Mr. Tommy Robinson explain how he treated by the police in the UK. Is this really the level of civilization we have fallen to? I know that talking about difficult things are problematic, but seriously, taking in his pregnant wife for interrogation. Scaring his […]

I have been reflecting a bit on the ethical stance of the renewed Democratic Party. Why is it so important? There are several reasons. First of all, because being a good person, is in itself important. Goodness or the ability to serve G-d on this green earth, is an imperative for us all. But there are […]

I am reading a lot of Isocrates, because he may not be as famous as his namesake Socrates, but he was, in many ways, just more practical. A lot of the citations just speak for themselves, so I will give you a small cavalcade here. And in btw. I have reached out with my press […]

When it comes to development of a liberal perspective, I believe there is a more profound discussion we need to take.  It is about values. What do we really believe in. Virtue is at the heart of all political as well as personal development. According to Isocrates, virtue is the one thing you can never […]

I know, that I have been a bit too supportive of Mr. Trump. But I think it is wise due to two considerations. 1. I truly believe, that the best way to make the best things of Mr. Obamas legacy survive is by cooperation. 2. There was a very true challenge to the system itself […]

I am a little sorry, that the election in France went it way it went. I understand, that the situation is extreme, and true middle leaning candidates are not available, like in other countries.  But, I would really have liked for France, to find a more simple and controlled way out of the chaos that […]

I know, that there is soon a deadline for the overall budget of the American Nation.  There is one thing I believe we should let Mr. Trump do. That is to make a better border patrol in the south. I know, that this is difficult, because we are afraid that it will be too inhumane. […]

To be a leading academic has never really been a goal of mine. I could have had some kind of academic career, and I was very happy with my trip to Oxford a few years back. But to me, most academic institutions leaves too little room for crosstopical discussion. And with my rebellious attitude, I […]

It is with great joy, that I see, that Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump has finally had an opportunity to talk to each other. It is good, because that will, hopefully, put a break on some of the escalation of the different conflicts in the world.  If the two great powers do not speak to […]
