It seems to me, that there is this moment of reconciliation and recognition of our political opponents. Maybe, just maybe we can set aside the perceived differences for a time, and find some unity. If we look at the content of the political divide, there is not much difference. We have to get the borders […]
These are my own experience with living under a lot of stress due to my political work. I have a lot of enemies. Some covert, some open. The current foreign minister is an enemy and I have entertained you with my experience with the PET, the secret service. First of all. It is a choice, […]
Beneath the Torah there seems to be a layer of wisdom, that we have to apply in this war, to make sense of it all. Jews are far away descendants of a diaspora from Scandinavia, so some of the ancient lore of the Scandinavians are possible lore to make for a base of reflection in […]
Why is it, that we are not going into the peace negotiations with a clear mission to get hostages back? I get it, there is the motivation to destroy Hamas. Yet, why? What is the end goal? What if we destroy Hamas, will that make us safer? We have destroyed empires, yet we have never […]
Oh my g-d political violence, again. First of all, I know exactly how you feel Mr. Trump, I have myself been through the same for the last 15 years. I have managed to survive, but the rest of my friends have either been shot, put in jail or silenced in some other way. I came […]
Ok, let’s have a look on the current development in the political sphere. My last book “Eden” seems to have an impact on the whole “post war” discussion in Israel. How do we make sure, that Israelis do not divulge into pit fights, and the unity that was created in the aftermath of 7’th October, […]
Well, I have been pondering the possibility to make a film a bit more. These are some of my reflections. First of all, the setting could be a voyage. One of the main themes of story telling has been the voyage of going from somewhere to somewhere. The Odyssey one of the first stories of […]
When we talk about Hollywood, and my ambition to make a film. I truly believe, that it has to have something to do about love, romance and finding that person that truly lifts us up. We have been through a long movement of Meetoo, which has, in many ways been amazing and truly positive. Yet […]
These are my reflections on the issue of the Haredi draft. My angle is the historical philosophical. Where do we Jews come from, and hence, how can we siphon some kind of understanding concerning a certain issue. We Jews are coming from Scandinavia, originally, at least this is my own conclusion after doing a lot […]
Ok, let’s see, if we can analyze on the current situation in Israel. First of all, Gallant seems to head the government now. It’s his ideas that are implemented. Netanyahu wanted to excempt the Haredi in the military, Gallant was against, so now there is a Haredi enrollment. When Israel communicates with the US it […]
Ok, I have just watched the inauguration speech of Mr. Starmer, well done. That was actually an inspiring and beautiful speech. I have really tried to figure out, how to keep our democracies healthy and sound. So, together with Barack, we have kind of made a utopia in the sense, that what we believe will […]
Ok, so the power had shifter in the UK. The conservatives are out, and the social democrats are in. First of all, I have been a companion of the conservative rule ever since Cameron. So, it is bittersweet, that the Conservatives have lost. Yet, this is politics. You win some, and you loose some. At […]
When I did a lot of the peace building in the Middle East ten years ago, it was a peace building that was based on the shared legacy and culture of the Middle East. We are all heirs to the culture that has shaped most of humanity. Law, the republic, trade, religion, royalty, are all […]
Guys, I just want you to thank you for the support, that you all have been doing for a long time. When you are really in need of help, it is often a huge surprise that it comes. And when it comes, it feels like true love and friendship. You did not have to. Yet […]
It seems to me, that the EU is interested in my peace project in the Middle East. I did apply for a project that would encapsulate the entire project after the peace is won. I think, that when we get to October that is the deadline of the project, probably the peace will be in […]
Well, it seems to me, that whenever we talk about the HONOR of the Palestinian Arab, things seem to move ahead. I have been pondering it a lot. The fight that is most apparent is the fight for freedom of that of the Gazan Arab, yet honor seems to me, to be MORE important than […]
Ok, here is an idea about a movie we may make. What about a movie about the fight that democracy is in, when it tries to avoid going from democracy to tyranny, that is the normal course of a democratic development. A bit inspired by Star Wars, that is the same story, of the republic, […]
Malia, happy birthday to you. Such a fine young woman. I have been a kind of looking over your dad’s shoulders when he was president and after. So I have witnessed the profound love he has had for you all of those years. He never missed a dinner when he was president, he prioritized you […]
I believe, that mirroring the idea of paradise seen from a western perspective with the idea of paradise from an Indian perspective will tell us a lot about our own striving. Indians have an idea of an afterlife called Brahman or Atman (according to Grønbech). This paradise is very different from a western or European […]
There is this discussion on Netanyahu and his “Messianic” zeal. I have been friends with Bibi for many years, we did a lot of collaboration in his first tenure. So he is a friend. Yet it’s true, there is some kind of amiable competition. In a sense that is fine, I mean, Benyamin Netanyahu has […]
It seems to me, that I kind of is accepted in the international vip artist community. I really appreciate that, because of a host of issues, good and bad. Usually when someone wish to talk they invite me to all kinds of things. The politicians invite me to Davos, that is a meeting where all […]
Concerning princess Charlotte, my way of doing things may be a little untraditional, but I have been thinking a lot about the pressure, that my own children Rakel and Esther are in for, if I end up being the king of Israel. What I have done is essentially to really downplay the role. I have […]
Let’s see if we can untangle the Gaza/Israel conflict. Hamas basic demand is a ceasefire. From the beginning. This makes sense, from their perspective, because that is an indication, that they may survive. If they accept the peace treaty, that is on the table, they accept their own defeat, basically. So, what is the most […]
One of my favourite writers is the Danish writer Wilhelm Grønbech, he SHOULD have been world famous, and probably would have been, if he didn’t write in only Danish. Compared to a lot of the German writers, he has this keen insight, like a Nietzsche gone historian. His insight into the cultures of the world, […]
One the things, that I have philosophized a lot about together with some of my nerdy friends, is HOW to sustain a relationship for a long time. When you are an artist, your life has a lot of ups and downs, you are never better than your last record, as they say. Making a stable […]
One of the things I don’t really understand of the current persecution I am experiencing, is why? Do we have the vast choice of brilliant thinkers to lead us out of the current problems? I mean, 99% of the current political policies that we do in Europe right now, I, more or less, invented. The […]
Well, the “secret service” aka the KGB (PET) of Denmark. The disgusting, child abusing part of the police is plotting to poison me. I have warned them, that I will cut their budget in half, when the power changes hand here in Denmark. G-d bless the will to survive the evil of the Danish “secret” […]
Well, when you have a hard childhood, as some of my readers have had, you can end up in all kinds of issues. Drugs, abuse things like that. When I grew up, it was not easy, my mum was a single mum and the pressure was so intense, that she ended up in the asylum. […]
Many people say, that love is only for the wealthy. That to have true love, you have to have a good career, be respected in the community and all that. That is off cause a truth in a sense, to find true love you have to be in a place, where you are able to […]
There are some of my readers that have this issue of having problems finding true love. If you have everything, then why don’t you find true love? The reason for this is quite simple. When you see someone that you identify with, it is a reflection of your own ideal character. If you travel down […]
Well, I am really happy, that I am kind getting a relationship to Hollywood. As an artist, I need friends and colleagues within the artist community. Here in Denmark there is a lot of conflict between right and left and a lot of harassment by the police. If you support Israel, you have a target […]
Well, if we look at the matter in the Israeli war, essentially it comes down to the Gaza negotiations. They are not moving, why? Because there is no real intention to meet each other. Not until that happens, will we have any kind of development in the war. I know that Hezbollah has been preparing […]
There is a long way from the heights of Hollywood, to the true suffering of humans. When you are an artist, you need something to fire your emotions and give you purpose. Truth, beauty and good are one, as Plato say. So if you have a boring life, it is not easy to make deep […]
Joe, there is only one way to go now. You have to FOCUS. I know, that there is a lot of things you are distracted by. But you have to put it aside, and FOCUS 100! On the relection. This will mean, that there are areas that you will not be able to think too […]
Joe, for whatever it is worth, I will be behind you all along the election. Things are not looking so bad. I know that the performance yesterday was not good. But your policies are good. So my advice would be. Go back to what Mr. Trump criticized you for, and debunk it. Stay focused on […]
I think now when we are in THREE elections in the West, the UK, France and the US a more thorough discussion on economy makes sense. Let’s have a look at it. Economy really means householding. Economy is the Greek word for householding. This essentially means keeping the budgets, not overspending and, ideally, put a […]
The connection between Denmark, England, even Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the US is a long and historic relationship. In terms of poetic platonic love I guess that this is not the first time we have been there. Wolfgang Von Goethe was a romantic in the platonic mold, and he made a HUGE impression on the […]
Denmark, the UK, America is essentially the same Anglo Saxon culture. My surname Engberg is a name my family got from Angels here in Denmark. Engberg is a small mound in Angels. Yet, there is a deep difference in the cultures. Danish culture is essentially masochistic I think. We always punish our greatest thinkers. Like […]
Ok, I have been pondering how to make a Hollywood movie. We could do it this way; a lot of the ideas that I have for eternal love and as a consequence of this family and community, is very much a part of the whole catholic renaissance. The Catholic Church rests on, for a large […]
Well, there is only one viable solution to the Haredi conflict, and the consequent split between the religious and the secular parts of Israel. That is to make a royal institution, that will have sway over the legislative and military forces of Israel. The armies of Israel should be able to confer the power of […]
I have given some thought to the whole Hollywood princess drama that has kind of happened lately. I love films. To me films are a multilayered artistic expression. I have been a writer for many years, I started as a musician and then I was a dancer. These are individual genres of artistic expression. Until […]
If we look at the doom and gloom that is produced in the Israeli war, one thing is the ability to win the war, another thing is the possibility of loosing Israel as a safe haven for Jews. Which one is the most important? The true difference between loosing the war and keeping Israel alive […]
Ok, let’s see if we can figure this peace deal out. At one hand, Hamas wants a permanent ceasefire to accept the deal. This is essentially motivated by a wish to survive. They are saying; we will hand over the hostages, if we get to survive. At the other hand. Mr. Netanyahu says, that he […]
I have somehow sparked a debate in gender and romance in a greater part of the Western world. It started with the princess, and it seems to have spread to all the princesses of Hollywood and beyond. Princesses are princesses I guess. I know it from my days as a dancer. Princesses are princesses, they […]
Ok, so we are nearing the end of the Rafah op. Then what. I get it, that we are defending ourselves north and south, that is all good. The fights there will be relatively easy. Hezbollah are in no way as dug in as Hamas, so there will be some easy wins there as well. […]
Well when we talk about economy, or rather state economy, there are a lot of answers to the question; how do we create jobs and money for the country. At the heart of question lies the answer, that it is made by two general factors. First it is about the workethics of the citizens. They […]
Ok these are the two REAL goals, that we are working on. 1. Get the hostages home 2. Make sure, that Gaza is not a threat to the Israeli civilians anymore. Hamas is just one organizations out of many in Gaza, so targeting them solely, does not make much sense, if we want to make […]
I think, that instead of fighting the national agenda of each member country of the European Union, a much smarter strategy would be to work WITH the European countries. Both on a federal as well as on a national level the state has its strengths and weaknesses. Finding what works best on each level is […]
The basic danger of the current war, is the danger of loosing sight of what we are doing. A fight can end up being an end in itself. Right now we are fighting in Gaza, and there is a storm brewing with Hezbollah. Yet, why? Why do we do it? We do it, to get […]
One of the major strength of a national oriented political movement, is the fact, that most business owners are very patriotic. This means, that getting the business environment to actually make things, create jobs and support the Nation is really easy. This again filters into the discussion on jobs. Industrial, blue collar jobs are the […]
