It is a world of turmoil we are heading for; war, conflict, suffering and lack of everything. It is the war of giants against the war of the little man.
We are here, to try to turn the tide, and create a purpose behind the striving.
This can only be done in an understanding of the basic premises we are working with.
Let us take the losers first; Islam.
Basically, Islam is a system without any future, everybody knows it, and Islam is only trying, without any luck, to gain a foothold in the slippy mud of world politics. Let us face it; Sharia, Khalifat, even the islamic republic is without any serious answer as to the future. Basically philosophers as Qutb were right; the western world has emerged as the winners of the race for world dominance, in the sense that the democratic system based on Aristotle, Hume, Grundtvig and Hegel is the best.
It cannot be combined with Islam, Islam is, as a political system doomed to fail, because it is not working in any way the people wants it to work. It does not bring happiness.
The ruler of them all, the winning system is democracy.
Now, here is the confrontation becomes rather blurred and muddy, because the loosing champions of democracy are currently in a corrupt phase; The European Union is falling apart due to mismanagement and corruption. The old antagonism between England and France is yet again pronounced in the rivalry over the Hedge funds of The City of London. France wants it all, England is not prepared to pay that amount of fluid and ready cash for the fallacy of France hapless dreams of honour.
This brings us into a world, where the champions of democracy are persecuted and poor philosophers living at a bare minimum of existence, as they are persecuted by law and ridiculed by the social system of the common man.
Somehow the fighters for freedom and democracy are the least wealthy in terms of money, but really the key to change the world. Everybody agrees that democracy and the rule of law is the key to a good governance, but the keepers of that covenant are hated among their own.
This is where Israel is positioned as the propagator and the tool of the world, if Israel wants. It can show the world the example of democracy in a modern sense, and use the tools of the philosophers.
Let us be honest, Denmark will not be the next Israel, the willingness of the political system is not there. The police is not capable really, and the public is too scared. But the system of Denmark, that is the democratic system build by Grundtvig and the Folkhøjskole, is still the most serious answer to a democracy. It is not perfect, but the concepts of folkenlightentment, freedom of speech, creativity, and most important the responsibility of the keepers of the folksoul, is still a good answer to the future of mankind.
These concepts are democratic tools and not religious tools, but it should be seen as a toolbox for all who wants a democracy.
The point is, democracy is not the system, democracy is the people.
The new world order should therefore, in consequence be a system of democracies based on the lore of Adam Smith, Hume, Grundtvig, but again prophesied and executed by the sons of light, the bright Maccabees, the keepers of the covenant that Abraham gave to the world. Because the weak side of democracy as it was initially defined in Babylon is corruption, and only through a serious and honest fight for love will that weak side be controlled.
This complicated but serious task should be planned and done by the jews. We need to help the other peoples of the world to create their own democracies, on their own history. If we can do that, there is a chance to create world peace.
The world has become transparent as the ancient Egyptians wanted it, we are finally here to realize the concept of light and justice aimed at love, as we were put to do.
G-d save the world as it should become connected with spirit
I hate to tell you this, but Democracy has outlived its usefulness and really Sucks?? I am sorry to repeet myself.
In my opinion, Democracy Sucks. Democracy by definition is Mob rule, the majority Mob. The vote of the majority, right or not so right, is not necessarily the best kind of governance. What is good, helpful, right and fair in our society is not the issue. Who the best and most capable person are, is clearly irrelevant. Whatever talents the political candidates have, or doesn’t have, is of no importance. God forbid if they speak the Truth. So, democracy sucks. Originally Democracy was supposed to be 100 sheep deciding where the best grazing was, or anything else they had in common. Now it has become 5 wolf and 95 sheep deciding what’s for dinner. So Democracy Sucks. Our election system is supposed to be representative and democratic, but it is not anymore. Democracy is just weak people hiring strong speaking people to boss them around and steal their money and make all their decisions for them.
Fifty-one percent can establish a totalitarian rule in government, if they choose, and sadly do so in many places, but 1% ??? now they can totally suppress 99% and still remain so-called democratic. How are we supposed to stop this kind of power euphoria and misuse by some individuals who apparently can’t handle their authority. And trust me; it is not going to stop there. Human beings clearly appear to get crazy drunk on power.
In a Republic for an example, who is “the country?” Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle? No it isn’t. The Government is merely a servant- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its or his prerogative to determine what is right and what isn’t, and decide who is, and who isn’t (whatever). Its function is to obey the orders, (The will of the people), not originate the orders. Contrarily, in a Constitutional Republic with proportional representation, where only the voting system is democratic, all people have guaranteed and recognized rights. In a simple democracy like in Denmark you only have privileges your elected leaders can remove at their whim. I believe that our elections has gone the way of the dodo, the pearls was clearly thrown before swine. Just look around and see how unsuspecting people get sucked into all kind of things, and they don’t even know that they have been had. The political, administrative and financial mess in our country is in at the present, is so gigantic, that the problems do not stand a chance to be solved with the kind of thinking people that created those problems. What the people are missing from their representatives are Humility, sacrifice, service, selflessness, clear thinking, ethics, humbleness, social ethics and morals, a proven track records, and already successful private affairs. (In other words, have proven that they are capable of doing the job they hope to do for the public). Even a simple I.Q. test would be revealing, wouldn’t it. If anything, we need capable people, we simply don’t want any more ambitious un-successful, greed motivated, incapable and power hungry people. Elections are supposed to be an honest attempt for good service-minded people to cooperate with humility amongst the socially un-equal. Democracy really sucks, doesn’t it?
Another person once said “who-ever vote for the winning candidate can be blamed for everything”. We vote for one reason only, to elect our own representatives. The Leaders of the countries and their offices, has now become the only offices to take responsibility for our country and for its up-liftmen, it was not meant to become some kind of ceremonial office for a local executive Cheerleader whose sole purpose seems to be the private gain of his friends at the public’s expense – nor was the office mend to be a place to be protected from criminal charges by a bunch of underlings. The politicians have truly fouled their own nests, drunk in their own Power. We the people are not mushrooms; we are not in the dark, and we don’t accept the yak dung. Democracy is truly dead and buried, and here is why:
Please take a moment and wrap your mind around this.
We can’t search for truth, fight for a fair society, protect minority interests, shed light on injustice, without having open and robust debate, without having a free press, and without having free expression tucked into our back pockets, in case we need it. Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game, Free speech is life itself. The oxygen of free societies is freedom of speech. Everything short of incitement has to be tolerated, even when it is wrong. The Government…both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the government may provisionally grant him. But actually, we have plenty of rights in this country, provided you don’t get caught exercising them. We have similar examples in ancient Greece and Rome: Instances of the people losing their liberty by their own carelessness, and the greed and power ambition of a few.
I look upon Democracy as the most fatal plan that could be possibly be conceived to enslave free people.
Instead of being a protector of man’s rights, the government is becoming their most dangerous violator; instead of guarding freedom the government is establishing indirect slavery; instead of protecting men from the initiators of physical force, the government is initiating physical force and coercion in any manner and issue it pleases; instead of serving as the instrument of objectivity in human relationships, the government is creating a deadly subterranean reign of uncertainty and fear…in most countries, instead of protecting men from injury by whim, the government is arrogating to itself the power of unlimited whim – so that we are fast approaching, and some say we have, the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force. The clearest picture of most democratic governments is a cop, clad in black, with a baton raised over the head of some objector. Just look in the newspaper yesterday. Criminals are a small minority in any age or community. And the harm they have done to mankind is infinitesimal when compared to the horrors – the bloodshed, the wars, the persecution, the famines, the enslavements, the wholesale destruction – perpetrated by mankind’s different democratic governments. Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights – When unlimited and unrestricted by individual rights, a government is mankind’s deadliest enemy.
To be Governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. Weak people accept others do not. To be Governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.
What, then, do they (Us Humans) want a government for? Not to regulate commerce; not to educate the people; not to teach religion; not to administer charity; not to make roads and railways; but simply to defend the natural rights of man – to protect person and property – to prevent the aggressions of the powerful upon the weak – in a word, to administer justice. This is the natural, the original, office of a government. It was not intended to do less: it ought not to be allowed to do more.
The great political superstition of the past was the divine right of kings. The great political superstition of the present is the divine right of Governments. People should not be afraid of their governments; governments should much rather be afraid of the people! When democracy died, it was not a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and under-nourishment. It was an assassination from ambush from the 1%. Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while, the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem. Democracy is supposed to be all about free speech and free thought. Freedom is freedom and there is no such thing as just a little bit of freedom. Just as with pregnancy, you can’t be a little bit. Freedom of speech and freedom of thought are the very essence of liberty, freedom and a free society. It is the fundamental backbone of democracy…where open debate is not only encouraged, it is essential. Where respect is not earned, do not respect it. The demand for respect in the absence of a reason to warrant respect is plain tyranny. Freedom is not the jurisdiction of the Government to give or take as they see fit. Freedom is a gift from God, as are the rights to liberty, freedom of thought and freedom of speech and inquiry. No nation has the right to take away what was not theirs to give in the first place.
In Denmark dissent is clearly stamped upon – not least because, when deviant behavior becomes viewed as normal, normal behavior inevitably becomes treated as deviant.
When those who prove constantly that they have no morals, no ethics, no competence, no honor, no honesty, no character tell me how to think, live, speak, I think I will stick with God. I think I know what side He is on.
The unfathomable chaos, injustice and the rapid retreat from reason we see everywhere, which has resulted in the bewilderment and demoralization of most democratic nations has had to be planned and orchestrated. We can extrapolate creatively from data, but cannot prophesize wild cards, such as acts of God, acts of nature, or acts of man that can only be described as ‘schemes undreamed of.’ Forgive me if I get a bit indelicate here, but to that I simply say: Get over it! This sense of entitlement the democratic government officials have, with their precious “identities” entwined with their big spending habits is a sham. It’s disgusting.
In this arena, the majority does not see intelligence, courage, honor, decency, skill, as great things. They speak of these in glowing terms, yes, but the reality is just the opposite. Your worth is decided strictly, by the resources you have at your beck and call, and how many worshippers, clones and mindless thralls you have sloshing saliva in your path at the moment. The naive neophytes are fed upon by hungrier, slicker fish who lie, and think of nothing other of their own self-aggrandizement, no matter what the cost to anyone else. Who will take them for everything they are worth and go home and eat fabulous dinners and sleep quite well?
Independently creative thought is generally at a minimum. Raw recruits sit back, read their prepared daily briefs, and follow the included orders from the bigger fish. The reptilian brain by and large, runs the show here. I’m talking about the malevolent, cutthroat world of top politicians and their old boy’s network?
I see this grotesque attitude permeating in what should be the nexus point for the kindest, the wisest, and the toughest. What really should be a gathering place for the best of the best? But instead I see constant desperate struggles, by the so-called awakened just as in the world of so-called sheep, to try to grab power over others and see themselves as better than everyone else around them.
I see instead of dynamic individual minds who are so in speech and in deed joining ideas, instead of easily infiltratable groups, just innocent lambs waiting to be eaten by the next Government agent with a fancy, cleverly worked out website and a loud enough voice booming with fake intensity. I finally came to the conclusion that to wake up many politicians, they would need to be locked up in prison to get them to sit down, shut up, listen and think. Focus on the reality rather than the inane and asinine, or run off at the mouth without putting the brain in gear. God never holds up high the despicable among us. On the contrary, God seems to make sure that such people are crushed one way or another. They self-destruct and I am seeing plenty of that going on right now in politic here locally, as well as all over the world. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of our earth. Corporations have been enthroned, (Fasism) an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the democratic country is destroyed.
I perceive my civic challenge as some vast, insoluble Rubik’s Cube. Behind each problem lies yet another, and another, ad infinitum. To fix crime we have to fix the family, but before we do that we have to fix welfare, and that means fixing our budget, and that means fixing our civic spirit, but we can’t do that without fixing moral standards, and that means fixing schools and churches, and that means fixing the slums, and that’s impossible unless we fix crime. There’s no fulcrum on which to rest a policy lever. People of all ages sense that something huge will have to sweep across the world before the gloom can be lifted – but that’s an awareness we suppress. As a nation, we’re in deep denial. – The party’s over, it’s time to de-frock all the participants and discover what they have really been doing. Anecdotal evidence is mounting that democracy is something of a façade as it is. I hope that these facts are disturbing to you, to say the least. As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of six and a half decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another Cognac, and ignoring what is transpiring around me. I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me; others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it. Fallibilism is the philosophical doctrine that all claims of knowledge could, in principle, be mistaken. Then again, I could be wrong about that. I pray I am wrong, but I do not think I am. Only in Politic do people think freedom is freedom to lie, steal, connive, cheat, plunder and wreck the lives of others just to be successful in terms of money and power. Only in Politic is freedom so taken for granted that freedom to be a criminal is now passé. Only in Politic do self-professed Christians and Jews worship money and materialism before God and, sadly, do not know the difference. What fell in through the roof due to fraud and what comes as manna from Heaven is not the same thing, but now I see far more of the circumstance of ‘an accident looking for a place to happen’. In Dante’s writings he cited the seven deadly sins as being: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. Those seven words alone sum up the demise of what was could have been a great nation. We as a nation of people and the corrupt leadership we put into office have violated those seven deadly sins so many times it is incredible to me that most individuals can and will sit still for it, just like a herd of cowardly sheep busily munching the grass and not paying attention to the realities going on. The opposite of lust is chastity. The antonym of gluttony is temperance. The opposite of greed is charity. The antonym of sloth is diligence. The opposite of wrath is patience. The antonym of envy is kindness. The opposite of pride is humility. No leaders, no solutions, no answers can arise from the cacophony of babbling fools, many of whom have not a single damned clue what they are talking about. Silence is the virtue of a fool but in politic the opinions and lack of cohesion to a purpose are also signs of a nation that has no plan to fix what is wrong. It seems to me that you have to be honest to see the truth. If you are not honest then your perspective is skewered by your dishonesty and denial. This is why they can’t tell the truth and why a certain portion of the public can’t believe the truth. Every day the magnitude of the lies and the dreadful behavior of the few are being seen more widely and more deeply. The public should demand the frequent use of the hangman’s noose that ought to be used on those that have so abused the public’s trust over the decades. Now, when politicians or government agency heads fail, they just collect their booty and leave office to write their books and plan their next parasitic adventure. The people pay the bill, suck-it-up and move on with only the slimmest of hope that the next creature will not just be a repetition of what had gone before. In almost every case what the public ‘got’ was an even greater set of criminals at a huge increase in the costs for their crimes, in which the offenders have never been forced to face any real consequences, because as long as they are not charged or convicted they are free to re-invent themselves again and return to the public troughs for an ever- increasing share of the public’s hard-earned money.
Most people lack the capacity to search for truth and cope rationally with our mounting social and economic ills. They seek clarity, entertainment and order. They are willing to use force to impose this clarity on others, especially those who do not speak as they speak and think as they think. All the traditional tools of democracies, including dispassionate scientific and historical truth, facts, news and rational debate, are useless instruments in a world that lacks the capacity to use them. So Democracy will fail, I think. The question you should ask is what will be the next evolution in politics? And now that the testosterone has relaxed its grip, I am left scratching my bald-ness and wondering why? I just had to get it off my chest!!!!
