Well, the thing is, that what we are up against in this war, is not just the physical fight, it is more the moral fight. Potentially this will lead to a kingdom og Jerusalem, and we all kind of have a hard time wrapping our heads around that. Let me try, and shed a bit […]

Well, there seems to be some kind of development in the negotiations of Gaza. BUT, and honestly, in this I REALLY support mr. Netanyahu in pushing for a more realistic development. I absolutely agree, that the push is necessary. If we dont push, there is nothing to negotiate with. But, and that is really, really […]

Ok, this is the situation in all its grimness. There seems to be no appetite for a war, where we dismantle the infrastructure of Hamas, and put them underground. The result of this, is a slow moving war, that will end up in a stalemate. The Gaza press is moving the world around slowly. It […]

Ok, this is the last day of Hannukah, and here is what it means, in modern terms. First of all, we need to learn from the Maccabees. What did they do? They fought with few numbers against an enemy that was vastly superior. What did that force them to do? It forced them to use […]

Ok, this is the situation. We are, slowly but progressively crawling down south. We are winning, albeit at a great cost in terms of men and infrastructure. Gaza is getting torn apart. But, that is the way war is, unfortunately. At the good side, the UN seems to be put out of commission, more or […]

Ok, I have reflected a bit more on the whole Messianic issue. Seriously. We need to understand what that role implies, in this world. I know, that we are in the middle of a war, and maybe I should have broken the issue after the war, but we need to be prepared for that outcome […]

The war is fought, on our side, with ethics, integrity and force. On the other side, it is fought with civilians as shields, from kindergartens and has a horrible element of abuse of young women. This is the fact, and it does not have anything to do with islam. Islam forbids the use of civilians […]

Ok, these are my reflections regarding the situation in Gaza. We need to be realistic about the outcome. We do not have international support for a complete remigration of all of Gazans, so we need to realize the fact, that Gaza will still be populated by the palestinians after the war, as the West Bank. […]

Ok, the situation is like this. We are very close to winning. It is hard, and the fighting takes a toll. But look at the things on the ground, we are almost dominant on ground. Then we have to initiate the discussion post winning. It is really quite simple. We need to control the security […]

Ok, so, essentially the brass around the world see what I do here at Rubicon as a messianic thing. That has been going on for ten years. It will continue as long as I can make the blog run. The question is, essentially, do we move further? Now would be the perfect time. We are […]

Well, there is a thing, that might filter in, into the presidential campaign that mr. Biden is doing right now. Warren Buffet is a great capitalist. I mean, he must be, with all the money he has made. But he does not really seem like a bad person. In fact he really seems like a […]

Well, we have to figure out, what to do with the world, as soon as this war has ended. What are really the teachings we can get from this conflict. I know that it is not over, and there are a lot of dangers ahead. We could still loose, if we are not playing our […]

Ok, this is the situation, we have won. As long as Hamas only option is to use hostages to make deals, and not do any kind of real action. Then we have, by all kinds of meters, won. What we are looking at, is, essentially the sweep up of the last forces in Gaza. How […]

One of the issues, that I have been prodded to try to take an angle on, is the EU. What are we going to do, with that construct, and how are we going to make it work. To be honest, I have not really been a great fan of the EU, but we can make […]

Mr. Henry Kissinger has just passed away, at a high age. The Holocaust survivor. The generation, that saw things through the lens of the second world war. What are the new things, that are beginning to emerge from that post naziwar? Well, not much, to be honest. It is, essentially the same mechanism that are […]

Elon, we have been acquaintances for some time. You have read my ideas here at rubicon, in fact, you have probably been a bit inspired, here and there, I hope. So, this is my candid advise to you. SHUT UP! You are ruining your own life by letting yourself be guided by your own anger. […]

Ok, we are winning. I know, that the ceasefire is pretty devastating to morale. But there are a number of elements we have to take into consideration, when we do our strategy. What happens on the ground, is a complex maneuver, that reflects the media situation, that that again reflects the political, international game. It […]

This is a heads up to the brave soldiers of the IDF. What you are doing, is thoroughly positive and constructive. Saving lives, doing things, as they should be done. Wars like this, are very difficult to do, because the terrain is so full of booby traps, guerilla warfare, threats everywhere. But due to the […]

Well, we are now more or less in the middle of the campaign in Gaza. It is going ok, but the international pressure is mounting. There is the proposal for an exchange of hostages. To me, this is a no brainer. The main objective of the war, was to get the hostages out of Gaza, […]

Well, we are now in the second or third week into the offensive of Gaza. It is working, some hostages are found, some are released, but at the larger picture, there are still a lot of problems ahead of us. I am trying to counter some of the problems we have, by initiating dialogue here […]

This is a message to Elon Musk, who is a reader here on the blog, I think. First of all Elon, you tried to help, when I was in trouble, so this is me helping back. When you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot, and hold on to it. That is […]

Ok, so these are my reflections concerning the current situation in terms of strategy. How are we supposed to fight? It is quite clear, it says in the Torah, that we are supposed to fight as David against Goliath. Why? Well, that is the question we are supposed to ponder. First of all, this reflects […]

Ok, it seems to me, that I, with a bit of luck, a great support from many friends, in Denmark, and around the world, I have survived this onslaught on my person by the secret service. My life has come to a balance of sorts, and actually the secret service of the police has had […]

Ok,so, to understand the strategic situation in the Middle East, we need to truly understand the ethnic make up of the area. Hamas is not just an Islamic Organization that makes war on Israel, it is a group that is affiliated with the different ethnic groups of the Middle East. The Middle East is ancient […]

Well, we can now have focus on something else than the conflict in the Middle East. The conflict is progressing, slowly but, to the extent it is possible, humanely. Ok, it is a war, so people die, that is the way war work, but refraining from killing civilians and trying to keep the general populace […]

Ok, so these are the final stages of the war against Hamas. First of all, we need to think about the possible outcome of the war. What is it, that we wish to accomplish? It should be pretty straightforward. We want to make a lasting peace with the Palestinians, and also the rest of the […]

Well, things are not looking good. First of all, the war is getting closer, it is already here, to some extent. Essentially the invasion of Gaza, the bombing of Syria by the US, is an escalation of dimensions yet not seen in the Middle East since the six day war. But, the good development is, […]

Unity is not always an aim to strife for. Oppositional forces are, essentially a fashion of the nature to create development. Nature moves in pairs of opposition. Without opposition, there would be no development. But in Israel, we are simply forced to stick together, like, ALWAYS. We do not have the luxury to have a […]

Ok, with the latests development of the Gaza/Israel stand off, things are really moving fast. The rejection of the two state plan that the right wing of Israel has done, makes a massive shift on American power politics. Loosing a bid on that scale will spell disaster for American foreign policy in the Middle East. […]

Ok, let us have a look at the issues concerning the conflicts between the Palestinians and the Jews.  First of all we need to look at the root cause of the problem. The root cause of the problem is, that these two peoples are living side by side, in a very small area.  It is […]

Ok, this is the situation. First of all, there seems to be a kind of development in the ideas and the acceptance of the ideas. We end up, by defining the solution as the moving of the people of Gaza to somewhere else I know, there will be a lot of discussion on this, and […]

All right, so we have reached kind of a lull in the fighting. The borders are secure, and the aggression seem to have simmered down. It is kind of time, to take a check on the development. First of all, we have, not yet, lost the peace process. The Arab countries seem to be open […]

Ok, we are getting to a part of the whole debate and development that requires something that is extremely difficult to muster, when we are all grieving and devastated by the occurrences that has just happened. It brings back memories of past suffering, we thought, now we have Israel, we don’t have to suffer anymore. […]

We have to be careful about the motives that drives us in the counteroffensive against Hamas in Gaza. I know, that there is a LOT of hate and resentment. But if this takes over, the signs of unity between left and right will be imperilled, and we could end up in discussions again in the […]

Ok, so we are a week into this horrible conflict. These are my reflections on the ethical base on what we are fighting with and how. First of all, we should be very careful to fall into the trap of seeing everybody around us as evil. We have taken a massive hit, but we should […]

Ok, we managed to turn the tide, and through it, we also managed to find a new and more positive trend or path. That of working together, and not fighting all the time. This spells well for the future. The mechanics of war, is like this, and we need to adhere to it, to win. […]

Well, this is what we get, if we are too divided within Israel. When we start to fight each other. Then our enemies see weakness, and see their opportunity to attack us. As I see it, there is the physical setup we have to get done, not tomorrow, not in 12 hours, NOW! The reserves […]

Ok this is my take on the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel. Beware, it is a provocation. The aim is to disrupt the peace process that is between the Arab states and Israel. So, if we are not careful, this will be the outcome. How do we respond. We do it, be keeping a […]

One of the best things of the US, is the engineering, frontier spirit, that has been in the DNA of the US from the beginning. From the first pilgrims, to NASA. This idea, of at frontier, that is ever moving, is what the US really IS. Let us have a look at it, from a […]

Happy birthday mr. Jimmy Carter. That was a surprise, I have been looking at John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton and other, to seek inspiration to what we are going to do in the next election with Joe. But you kind of went beneath my radar. Stupid of me, I can see it now, you did […]

I think, that it is really a good move, to counter the threat of ISIS by the American administration. Here are my essential arguments. Isis is all that is essentially negative with the development in the Middle East, add to this, it is also pretty unpopular. So countering Isis makes the right balance of countering […]

Ok, it is my fault, to a degree, that the Twitter or X media is not going well. I have tried to discuss this, but due to my my own problems, I have not had the energy to do it. Sorry. But let us have a look at it. Plato recalls in his cave allegory […]

Ok, so now mr. Elon Musk is fighting the ADL and see most Jews as enemies. Ok, who did actually help the white farmers in South Africa? Was it the nazis or the Jews? To me, having tried to give a helping hand to the Suidlanders, and actually succeeding in bringing their plight to the […]

Angels have been an area, that I have discussed a lot lately. I have delved into this issue at the back of some work I have done as a journalist, trying to help the poor and persecuted. The dark lord rests in the darkness of criminality, abuse and suffering. If you want to understand evil, […]

It has just been Rosh Hashanah, and I was really lucky to celebrate it with the local Jewish community. I have thought a lot about it. First of all, in a country like Denmark, there are so few Jews, that the disagreements are truly limited, because there are just too few to disagree. At the […]

The old aristocratic families of Europe seems to still live in secret, so to say. This secrecy is a function of the French Revolution, and the consecutive purge of Aristocrats around the world of Europe. But the enlightened, as they are seen, are actually pretty old fashioned, do gooders, who still believe in king and […]

I think, that the current development within the UK is quite good. You can see it by the quietness, when the brits gets annoyed, they make a lot of fuss. As it is, they are content, this means, that they would like to keep things as they are. Mr. Cameron had this amazing cool, that […]

Ok, I am finally in a position, where I can support the brits again. First of all, think about it. Why don’t you invite me, and we can work together? Denmark and Great Britain is not so far from each other. The reason why I say this, is that I am trying my new outreach. […]

There has been this amazing symposium regarding openness in regards to government in Tallin last week. These ideas hark all the way back to the US, where mr. Niels Bohr lead the development of nuclear bombs, a thing he really felt bad about afterwards. Niels Bohr is the father of the ‘Copenhagen spirit’ that is […]

Manufacture is important for the families involved, but there is another feature, that is really important regarding manufacture, that has to do with the competition with China. China is actively undermining American and world economy by going directly against branches of industry. One thing is, when American entrepreneurs and ‘developers’ like Mitt Romney, actively, sends […]
